Percabeth 4 ever prt 17

Annabeth's Pov

        I guess Poseidon sensed something was wrong cuz we didnt appear in my and Percy Cave. When I opened my eyes I saw a hospital lobby.

Im surprised that Im even aware of where I am because of the pain I am in. You never know pain till you go through child birth and feeling this, it made me think if I wanted to have sex again. Poseidon was helping holding me up a he yelled for a wheelchair. I knew what he was doing. He was making it seem as if we were both completly mortal.

Soon enough I found myself sitting in a wheelchair, holding on to Poseidons hand like my life depended on it. I knew he had other places to be. I knew that he had to go take Lily and Sally to saftey but what I didnt get was why he was still here, letting me squeze his hand like this.

"Go Poseidon.Take Lily and Sally to the Cave. Ill be fine." I told him when the contraction was over. I let go of his hand.

"Do you have anyone that you would here ? Anyone that I could get for you dear?" He asked me. I thought about it. About who in my life I would want here with me through this and the one person who I truely need is out risking his life. I need Percy but I cant have him.

"Is Percy ok?" I asked him.

"He is fine dear. He is actually waiting for me to come to him. I must go but if you need anything Im only a call away." He smiled then he vanished. No one seemed to even know he was there in the first place.

Another contraction hit me and it came so fast that it seemed as if I was hit by a truck. Someone could come and slap me and I wouldnt even notice because of the pain I was in.

When the contraction stopped and I actually looked around where I was. I guess I was moved into a room. Someone helped me into the bed and into a hospital gown.

"Is this your first?" A nurse asked me.

"Yeah. This is my first." I answered her.

"Whats your name dear? My name is Heather."

"Annabeth. Annabeth Chase." I answered her.

"Do you want me to call anybody? The father, maybe?" She asked me.

"Nope. Thanks though."

"If you need anything just call. The Doctor will be in here in a minute to see how far in labor you are. Ill be back." Then she walked out the door.

I had thought that this would be different. This experience would have gone different. I saw myself telling Percy that it was time and seeing on his face that he was scared, kind of like the face you see on actors in scary movies. Him rushing me to the hospital, holding my hand through it all. Him not leaving my side for anything but Im here alone and Percy probably doesnt even know Im in labor.

I thought about what my mother said to me when I told her I loved Percy for the first time. The first time I had admited it to her. She said that if I ever married him or had kids with him that she would hate me. She wouldnt talk to me ever again. She wouldnt call me her daughter anymore. She said that if the baby took after Percy she would kill it on the spot, only if I stayed with Percy after the baby was born.

That is when I knew that the only way for Percy and the baby to be safe was if I dissappeared. The baby, my daughter, would have to never actually know her mother, and for that to happen I would have to die. Percy would not give up on us if I just left after I gave birth to this child. He would not rest till he knew that ther was no chance for us to become one again and the only way for that is if I am not alive anymore.

You cant be with someone thats dead. Now can you?

My thoughts were interupted by another contraction. It was quick and less painful then the others had been. Then a man, who looked like he just got out of med school came in. I guess he was my doctor. He was looking over a clipboard that was in his hand. Then he looked up at me.

"Hello Ms. Chase. Im Doctor Anthony James but you can call me Tony if it is easier." He smiled at me, and then came over to by bed side. "How much pain do you think your in? Usin a scale from 1 to 10.  10 being the worse pain imaginable."

"Now a 1 but wait a couple minutes and itll be more." He laughed.

"Your my first patient that has actually had a sense of humor through this. Usually all of them yell ten and beg for an epidural.."

"Oh dont take me wrong. I want an epidural just I know you cant give it to me yet, so why beg for it?" I askied him.

"Soo wheres the father?"

"There isnt one that knows alive. Died 7 months ago from a car accident."

"Im sorry for your lose. Well the nurse that helped you into here said that at that time you were about 6 cetemeters and that your contractions are about 4 mnutes a part, so Im going to check to see if the time has changed ok? All you have to do is breath for me and tell me when you feel one coming on andwhen it goes. Ok?" He asked me.

I nodded. When I felt the constricting pain going through me I nodded at him. He just nodded back and looked at his watch. When it was over I breathed out. " Done."

"3 minutes. Ill get someone in here to see how dialated you are. Ill be back." Then he smiled and walked out the door. His white coat flying behind him.
