With Arms Wide Open

Chapter 8

When Percy and Annabeth learned that it was Athena who put out a "hit" on their baby, it took the combined strength of Chiron, Grover, and Ilithyia to hold them back, so they wouldn't go and do something that they would regret later on.

"I don't care what the others say, I'm going to Olympus and kick some sense into her" Annabeth said once she and Percy went back to his cabin.

"I know, I'm pretty pissed at her too" Percy said as he wrapped his arms around Annabeth.

"I can't believe she would try to assassinate our baby", Annabeth said as she waddled over and sat down on the edge of Percy's bed.

Percy walked over and sat down beside Annabeth and wrapped his arms around her waist and said "You want to go to Olympus and confront her don't you" he asked.

Annabeth grinned at him, before saying "You bet your sexy ass I do".

While the two teens made plans to visit Olympus the next day and confront Athena, Something was happening on Mt. Olympus.

...

On Mt. Olympus

"YOU DID WHAT" yelled Poseidon who clutching his trident so hard that his knuckles were turning white.

Athena simply regarded him with a calm demeanor as she said quite calmly "I paid a visit to Ilithyia and made a bargain with her to kill Annabeth's baby".

Poseidon growled and clutched his trident harder as he said thru clenched teeth, "That child is my grandchild as much as yours".

"Our children are not ready for this responsibility" Athena said looking at the mighty sea god.

"I believe they are, and that this will teach them the responsibility for later in life" Poseidon growled.

Athena's reply was caught in her throat as a cry ripped thru the skies of Olympus "MOTHER WHERE ARE YOU?"

Athena and Poseidon turned to see Percy holding back a rage filled Annabeth from attacking her mother.

"How could you mom" growled Annabeth, who was fighting to get out of Percy's hold.

"Annabeth...You are not ready to have a child" Athena said looking from her to Percy.

"Mom this is mine and Percy's decision we are going to be 18 soon" Annabeth said.

"I don't care I will not have a grandchild birthed by Poseidon's son" said Athena.

Both Percy and Poseidon growled, however it was Annabeth who had the last say.

Before Percy could stop her, Annabeth and thrown herself at Athena, who was surprised and shocked to do anything to stop her.

Annabeth growled as she held Athena against a wall, her bronze knife in her hand and up against Athena's throat.

"Now listen here ..Mom, I love Percy, and He loves me, this baby is proof of that".

"I used to be proud to be called a daughter of Athena but Now…Now I'm not to sure" Annabeth said.

Percy looked at his father before over to Annabeth and Athena as he did, he could tell something was wrong.

Annabeth groaned and held her stomach, all this stress was not doing her a lot of good, Looking down, Annabeth let out a gasp of surprise as there was a puddle of water forming between her legs.

Seeing this, Annabeth looked back at Percy and said softly "Percy its time".

Both Percy's and Poseidon's eyes widened before Percy walked over and picked Annabeth up as Poseidon led them to the infirmary area.

Once there they found out that Annabeth had gone into labor a half hour earlier and that she hadn't realized due to her anger at her mother.

5 and a half hours passed and after a lot of swearing and yelling, Annabeth gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

"He looks exactly like you Percy", Annabeth said as the baby boy nuzzled against her left breast.

"We need to name him you know" Percy said as he ran his fingers thru Annabeth's hair.

"How about Cyrus Alexander?" Annabeth asked as the little baby started to make a sucking sound.

"Mhmm I like it" Percy said grinning down at Annabeth and his son.

The month that followed was one of the most exciting if not tiresome month for Annabeth and Percy.

However they were both pleased to find out that for doing what she did, Athena was made into a minor god, and Ilithyia took her place on the Olympian council.

Even though they were seventeen, both Annabeth and Percy looked forward to the future with their son Cyrus Alexander.
