    Annabeth Chase was not one to be caught off guard, but the two pink lines on the pregnancy test did just that. She stared at it, her mind racing with a million thoughts.

    Percy Jackson, her boyfriend of five years, was equally stunned. His sea-green eyes mirrored her confusion and fear. This was not part of their plan, not yet.

    Despite their initial shock, Percy and Annabeth knew they had to face this together. They were a team, in battles and in life, and this was no different.

    They broke the news to their friends from the Argo 2. Their reactions varied from stunned silence to tears of joy. But they all promised their unwavering support.

    Piper McLean was the first to offer her help. She hugged Annabeth tightly, promising to be there for her every step of the way.

    Jason Grace, Piper's boyfriend, clapped Percy on the back. He promised to help him prepare for fatherhood, sharing his own experiences with his little sister.

    Leo Valdez offered to build a crib for the baby. His eyes sparkled with excitement at the thought of a new project, a crib fit for a demigod.

    Hazel Levesque promised to teach Annabeth everything she knew about being a mother. She had helped raise her little brother, after all.

    Frank Zhang was speechless, but his smile said it all. He gave Percy a bear hug, excited for his friend's new journey.

    As the news sunk in, Percy and Annabeth felt a sense of calm wash over them. They knew they were not alone. They had a family to lean on.

    The next few months were a whirlwind of doctor appointments, baby shopping, and endless advice from their friends. It was overwhelming, but also exciting.

    Annabeth felt the baby kick for the first time during a quiet evening at home. The look of awe on Percy's face was priceless.

    Percy felt a bond with the baby grow stronger with each passing day. He would often talk to Annabeth's belly, telling the baby stories of their adventures.

    Despite the hardships, Annabeth found joy in her pregnancy. She would often sit and wonder about their child, their little demigod.

    The day of the baby's birth was filled with joy and anticipation. Their friends were by their side, supporting them every step of the way.

    When their baby girl finally arrived, Percy and Annabeth were overcome with emotion. She was perfect, a mix of both of them.

    They named her Athena, after Annabeth's mother. She had Percy's sea-green eyes and Annabeth's blonde curls. She was their little miracle.

    Athena's arrival brought a new sense of purpose in their lives. They were parents now, responsible for a tiny life. It was daunting, but they were ready.

    Their friends were there every step of the way, helping them navigate the challenges of parenthood. They were a family, in every sense of the word.

    Athena grew up surrounded by love and stories of her parents' adventures. She had a family that would move heaven and earth for her.

    Percy and Annabeth found themselves falling in love all over again, not just with each other, but with their daughter. She was their world, their everything.

    They had faced monsters, battled gods, and saved the world. But being parents was their greatest adventure yet. And they wouldn't have it any other way.

    As they looked at Athena, they knew they had made the right choice. They had chosen love, chosen family. And they were happier than they had ever been.

    They had created a beautiful life together, a life full of love and adventure. And they were ready for whatever came next, as long as they had each other.

    Percy and Annabeth knew they had a long journey ahead of them. But they also knew that together, they could face anything. After all, they were a team.

    And so, they embarked on the greatest adventure of their lives, parenthood. With their friends by their side and love in their hearts, they were ready for anything.

    As they held Athena close, they knew they had their own little piece of Elysium right there. Their own little paradise, their family.
