Hey! This chapter is a little longer and the next will be long as well. Enjoy!

*Nope*

Percy's POV:

I sat with Annabeth in my lap on our bed, waiting for her tears to let up. Now she wasn't usually a big crier, however, her hormones seemed to forget that as she was pregnant. Slowly, her cries turned to sniffles and Percy spoke, "So you wanna explain what that was about?"

Annabeth shifted uncomfortably. After about a minute, she said, "Piper was in Jason's cabin this morning and said that she woke up and Jason wasn't there. So I asked her jokingly, why she was there. She acted all put out about it and was all like 'you and Percy did the same thing years before you were married.' But you and I both know that that's not what happened most of the time. Then she was like 'even before Tartarus you two went at it in the stables.'"

Percy tensed at this. If it was another situation, he might have found it funny. But, it wasn't. Piper knew dam well that that's not what happened. Annabeth continued.

"And then she asked why I made it sound like she was some slut, which I never said or assumed. She finishes herself off by saying, 'I don't know why I'm still listening to some bitch who got pregnant before she was even 21' making me feel like the slut." Annabeth started crying again.

Percy was mad now. Annabeth was a married woman who was pregnant with his children, not anyone else's. Her being pregnant at a younger age than average was none of Piper's business. And what they did before they were married was also not her business. But Piper was like a sister to Percy, so why would she say that? He knew that while she would never admit it, Annabeth being pregnant younger did make her feel like she was constantly being judged. Percy could say the same, but he never felt like his kids were some big mistake that they had to deal with. He knows Annabeth is excited for them to be here too and would agree with him, she just hated being judged for it.

He just sat there with Annabeth on his bare chest, and stroked her hair. After ten minutes, she calmed back down again. "Wise girl, I hope you know that I don't think of you like that, never have never will. These are our kids and our marriage. So what if people think we are too young? To Hades with them, it's not their business." He finished his little speech by giving her a soft kiss. She gasped at first, then kissed him back slowly and passionately.

Finally, he pulled away and stared into her big, stormy grey eyes. "Se agapó (Greek for I love you), Annabeth."

"ki ego se agapo(I love you too), Percy."

"They sat there just like that for a little while more. Eventually, Annabeth fell asleep and was softly snoring in his embrace. Percy laid her down, jumped into the other side of their bed, and fell asleep next to her.

The Jackson's family cabin was finally finished, and they were moving in. When I say cabin, it's more of a house. 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom with a pool in the back (per Percy's request) along the beach of the sound. Hazel and Frank came to help them, along with the rest of the seven, Calypso, Nico and Reyna. Annabeth was now 8 months along, and wasn't allowed to lift anything heavy. Piper and Jason were now engaged after an ecstatic yes from Piper, and she and Annabeth made up for their little dust up. All in all, life was good. Most of the moving was taken place by the men, while all the women gave up helping after an hour, and were having a nice conversation on the patio.

After about 4 hours, most of their things were in the house, and everyone was taking a break before the girls told them where everything should go. All 10 of them were eating lunch (courtesy of Hazel and Calypso) on the patio. They were laughing and just enjoying each other's company when Leo asked them a question.

"You know, Jackson," He started. "Neither of you ever told us if you were having boys or girls."

Annabeth answered for him. "We don't know either. We decided to wait to find out," she responded smiling.

"Well, you at least gotta tell us what you want," Reyna said.

"I don't care really. As long as they are healthy," Percy stated.

Hazel laughed at that, Piper denied it, and Annabeth hit him upside the head with her sandal. Another thing about his wife was that she was starting to turn more and more Greek by the day. She only got olive oil and oregano that was imported from Greece, would hit him with a flip flop if he did something stupid, and even wore Greek head coverings at funerals for their fellow demigods (A/N I should know, I'm Greek American). She wasn't the only one though, Katie, Calypso, and some of her sisters did the same.

"Oh be quiet, you want at least one girl," Annabeth said. "That way she will be 'daddy's girl' and you will be the favorite parent."

"Dang Perce, didn't know you went soft," Laughed Frank.

"I'm not soft," He said. "I simply want a mini Annabeth."

His wife blushed at this while Jason, Nico, and Leo gave wolf whistles. Everyone else laughed at them and they continued on with their conversation. While Frank and Reyna were talking about the legion, Annabeth frowned next to him. He leaned over and asked her; "something wrong?"

"I'm... I'm okay," She whispered.

He knew she was lying, so he asked her again, "Is it braxton hicks again?"

She hesitated before nodding. "Do you wanna go lay down upstairs? Me and the boys got the bed in there already," He said softly.

Annabeth shook her head. "I want to stay down here and visit with our friends, I'm fine."

"Wise Girl if you're not feeling good you should go lay down-"

"I said I'm fine Percy! Stop worrying," She laughed.

Leo looked over at them and saw them bickering. He shouted, "Lovebirds, you done fighting yet?" Calypso smacked him on the arm but everyone else laughed.

Annabeth responded to him. "Yeah we're fine, Percy's just overreacting."

Percy rolled his eyes and gave her a kiss on the cheek, but didn't say anything.

Jason spoke up then, "We should probably get back to work now."

There was a murmur of agreement from everyone and they stood up to go back inside. Percy offered his hand to Annabeth, which she took gladly. He leaned down to her and whispered in her ear, "If you need anything just tell me or go lay down, okay?"

She rolled her eyes and nodded. He smiled back at that.

Annabeth's POV:

It was around 9:30 and all of the work had been finished. All of them ate dinner on the beach together and then went back inside. The boys were in the living room talking sports, while the girls were in the kitchen chatting.

"So when are you guys going to have your wedding?" Calypso asked Piper.

"We were thinking about the summer solstice just because it's a pivotal Greek and Roman day," She answered.

Annabeth laughed at that. "I'm glad you took that day, because sooner or later everyone is going to be getting married and will want the solstices, you gotta call shots fast."

"Isn't you and Percy's anniversary on the winter solstice?" Hazel questioned.

"Yeah it is. We kind of just wanted to get married fast after he proposed and because we got engaged in the summer, we were married the following winter."

"You guys did have a good wedding," Reyna said.

"Yeah, we did," She said with her hand on her belly looking over at Percy. She earned a small kick from one of her children.

"If you don't mind me asking," Calypso whispered. "Why did you guys get married so young?"

"No you're good," Annabeth laughed at her cautious expression. "It was just because most Greek demigods don't make it far into life. I mean, things have changed now but we felt that we were ready to, so we did."

"Makes sense," Piper said. "Jason and I are going to be 21 when we get married, which is still fairly young."

"True," Hazel agreed.

They talked for a little while longer before feeling tired. They said goodbye and went back to their respective cabins. Percy and Annabeth went upstairs and fell asleep fast, enjoying the peace of their new home.
