The Legacies (PJO/HOO)

Chapter 3: We Have A Future

(Annabeth)

I was folding clothes in the Athena cabin by myself, when Percy came running in. He knocked me over in a hug.

"Seaweed Brain! What are you doing?!" I scolded. Percy just smiled.

"Leah Silena Jackson," he murmered in my hair.

"What?"

"Leah's name is Leah Silena Jackson."

Oh my gods. Oh my actual gods.

"You...have a daughter?"

"We  have a daughter."

Oh my gods!

"...are you sure?"

"100%. She looks just like you."

(Third POV)

Annabeth started to tear up. A future with Percy. That's all she'd ever wanted.

She hugged him tight. She didn't want to let go. This was insane.

"You're okay with this, right?" Percy asked.

"Of course I'm okay with this!" Annabeth answered.

Percy and Annabeth's hug couldn't have gotten tighter.

"I love you so much," Percy muttered in her hair.

"I love you, too," Annabeth smiled.

Percy kissed Annabeth happily.

And Percy and Annabeth snuggled up together for the night, never letting go of each other.

(Calypso)

So Percy and Annabeth have a kid. And so do Piper and Jason.

But is it so horrible to want a kid, too?

I mean, I love Leo, and I never realized I wanted a kid until now. Being stuck on an island for thousands of years, falling in love with whoever landed there, you don't tend to think about a family. Being off that island, falling in love with someone who actually cares about me, it's different. I could have a future with someone now. And I want that.

"Hey, Cal," Leo smiled, walking into the empty (except for me) Hephaestus cabin.

"Hi," I said back, off in my own world.

He must've noticed the tone in my voice. But he didn't say. He knows how I am.

"So...Percy and Annabeth have a daughter, too," he started.

"Yeah," I sighed.

I think Leo had had enough. "Are you okay?"

"Fine," I answered.

"Uh huh. Sure," Leo said. He came and sat next to me on the bed.

"Is this about...the kids?"

I nodded. Leo smiled weakly.

"Do you think any of the kids could be ours?" I asked out of nowhere.

"I...don't know Cal. I honestly don't. Do you...do you want that?" Leo asked, and he was actually  serious for once.

Now how do I respond to that?

"I...I think so," I muttered.

Leo smiled and hugged me. "I'm sorry," he whispered.

"For what?"

"For being stupid in a time like this."

"Please. You wouldn't be Leo if you weren't stupid. And I'm dating Leo."
