Percy POV

After our whole Braxton Hicks fiasco, we were careful and did everything will told us too. Every night I'd run a bath for Annabeth, and make her some tea. I know she's not the biggest fan of tea, but I also know she's an even lesser fan of those hicks. I'm actually really enjoying her book though, its probably because this daughter of Athena, I don't what it is I feel like I know her, I just want to help her. I see too much of myself in the son of Poseidon, its kinda freaky so thats the last I'm going to bring that up...

Anyways, no matter what we do, she still gets them, she says they're not as bad as that night when shit hit the fan, but I hate seeing in pain, and the worts part is that I did it to her. As much as I want to blame our daughter, who I think is gonna be a soccer star based on how much she kicks, I swear one time she tried to actually kick me through Annabeth, it was weird...— I can't blame her. She's a fetus, what kind of father blames their soon to be born child for hurting Annabeth. I shouldn't.
"Percy it hurts." She looked up at me from the couch and I couldn't help but want to take the pain for myself. I'd much rather feel all her pain than have her endure it.

"I know honey, what can I get you? Are you craving anything?" She shook her head no.

"I'm too nauseous to want anything even near my face right now."

"So I shouldn't kiss you?" I asked with a smirk.

"I said thing not person."

"Oh... I see." Sarcasm has always been a strong suit of mine. "Do you want chocolate?" She glared at me. "Do you want seaweed?" Her glare tightened. "How about fish? The doctor said it had good vitamins in it, plus it'll reduce the risk of preterm birth!" As I offered each thing I inched closer to her.

"Would you just come here?"

"Me? You want me?" I asked with a shit eating grin.

"Yes and chocolate now that you've mentioned it."

"Of course, any tea?"

"No! I tell you if you're going to bring me a hot beverage let it be coffee! I hate tea, you know this." I brought her the chocolate and sat next to her. I wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"I know, but the doctors said—"

"I don't care what the doctors said I need a drink!"

"Water?"

"No. ... Sangria."

"You mean virgin though? I'm not sure exactly where I'm supposed to get that..."

"No I need the alcohol. I can't take it anymore." I kiss her temple, and kiss down the side of her face to her soft spot, I nibble her ear a bit, and feel her shiver ender my breath. "Stop Percy I'm not really interested in that right now, I need a Long Island ice tea, something, something I'm not supposed to have."

"Oh Wise Girl, I thought—" She put her finger on my lips to shut me up.

"I'm not in the mood for a snarky comment or a sarcastic joke."

"Then what are you in the mood for?"

"I don't know! Reading isn't even peaking my interest."

"Do you just wanna talk? Tell me how work's going." She buried her head in my chest under my chin.

"I don't wanna!" I kiss the top of her head, and rub her back.

"Do you wanna watch something?"

"Ugh... fine!"

"Okay come, lets get you in something comfortable, and set you up in bed?"

"No I wanna watch it out here on the big TV."
