Sia Sharma

Requested by Blogger2007. Above is her (the outfit is for after the first timeskip), if it doesn't fit what you were imagining, just ignore it.

I leaned back onto Sebastian's shoulder closing my eyes as he fiddled with my wavy brown locks. He was telling me about his work again. He worked under Annabeth Chase in her architecture company - a fitting job considering that his dad was Aediculus, Roman god of architecture. Seb spoke again. "Honestly, I still can't believe that Annabeth Chase is my boss. I mean, seriously, she saved the world! Twice." I had met Annabeth once or twice, and she was super nice. I wasn't a demigod, but I could see through the mist and knew about the two wars.  My boyfriend continued his monologue. "The other day we had a clearly spoiled rich girl come in asking us to build a summer vacation home for her, and since Annabeth knows her dad and he's actually quite nice, she came down to talk to this girl. And y'know how Annabeth is engaged to Percy?"

I opened my dark eyes to raise an eyebrow at him. "No, Seb, I didn't know that. Who would've guessed? It's not like they're so in love that even the mortals obsess over them! Oh, wait..."

He just rolled his eyes at my sarcasm. "Well, this girl clearly had a crush on Percy. Practically everybody does, they're all like 'have you seen that new picture of Percy Jackson? I never thought I had a thing for Olympic swimmers, but wow'." 

I laughed at his impression of a teenage girl. "What happened next?"

"When the girl sees Annabeth she storms up to her and starts going off about how she would be so much better for Percy. And then she says something like 'I would do so much more for him than you've ever done. I mean, he's hot and all, but he could use some help. I would get him to get rid you and that stupid pen he always has, which would be lifesaving for him. You've never done anything even close to lifesaving for him.'" Knowing what I did, I couldn't stop the burst of laughter that came out at the idiocy of the situation. "So Annabeth looked her straight in the eye and said 'Well, I haven't done your idea of lifesaving, which Percy wouldn't like anyways, but please, continue to act like you anything about our lives. Although, I should warn you, with the way you're currently acting, there is a very small chance of my company building you a house."

I started to laugh again, but was cut of by a sharp nauseous feeling in my stomach. I rushed to the washroom and immediately threw up my breakfast into the porcelain toilet. Sebastian held back my hair as I gagged, and when I stopped, he had a glass of water ready for me. "Are you okay Sia?" He asked, the joking tone of earlier completely one from his voice. 

"I'll be be alright," I answered. "Probably just caught the stomach flu."

<---(*Anjali is here to conduct you to the next evening, when Annabeth is throwing a pre-wedding bachelorette party for demigods. She invited Sia, because Sebastian is rather high up at work and Sia can see through the mist anyways.*)--->

 I wore a brightly coloured yellow shirt tucked into jean shorts. A braided band was on my forehead and bracelets covered my right wrist. Annabeth had said that the party was just casual. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't expecting an invitation, but when one arrived yesterday, I decided to attend - particularly because Seb, being pretty high-up at work and having met Percy several times before, was going to Percy's bachelor party at the same time.

When I arrived, it was to a room full of people that I didn't know, though they were all perfectly nice to me. Rachel, at least, I had met before, and we bonded over being mortals, though Rachel was technically the oracle. We'd all gotten cups of different drinks and were sitting around the fireplace in Annabeth and Percy's shared house. The house was, of course, designed by Annabeth, and the fireplace had different demigod stories carved into the grey stone. 

Rachel was telling me about when she and Percy and Annabeth were younger and Annabeth thought that Rachel was trying to date Percy when she froze. Green smoke began to curl out of her mouth. Everybody was listening closely by the time she spoke, but instead of her normal tone, the voice that came out was raspy and dry, and sounded like several people were speaking at the same time. 

"Not a prophecy but a message from the gods
The one who stands before you is against all odds
Though none can lay claim to be of more than one,
The legacy of two, she has become,

"Of Roman birth, but by the mortals raised
For her demigod ancestors were enslaved
But now to her origins she shall return
Of Venus and Mercury, many shall learn."

When she was done, Rachel collapsed into the waiting arms of Piper McLean, who I was introduced to only fifteen minutes ago. The room is silent as she lays a pale Rachel onto the couch. A girl with choppy black hair and a silver circlet - Thalia, I believe - spoke up. "Well, that was oddly straightforward."

Annabeth cracked a smile and nodded. "You can say that again." She turned to me. "I guess that's referring to-"

She's cut off as I feel warm light flicker onto my face. I look up to see that staff of Hermes glowing above my head. Only seconds after, my hair is perfectly done, makeup beautifully applied, and my comfortable clothes replaced with a horridly itchy white sleeveless dress. I look to Annabeth's ceiling. "Seriously?! You took my clothes?!"

Piper laughs from beside Rachel. "I reacted the same way. I guess you're a legacy of Venus and Mercury then."

---{-[-(Anjali is here to take you to two and a half weeks later. Sia's life is pretty much the same, except she's grown closer to Percy and Annabeth. At the current time, Sebastian and Sia are hanging out with the newly married Percy and Annabeth.)-]-}--- 

I had been periodically throwing up every morning for the past couple of weeks. I'd had my suspicions, but four days after my very scheduled period was supposed to start, I decided to buy a test. I'd looked in the pregnancy test section, but found way to many types, and ended up with four different tests. I'd only taken two out four, but both were positive. I wasn't sure what to do, and considering that Annabeth was probably my closest girl friend who was actually in the country, I'd decided to ask for some advice.

The boys went off to look at Percy's new something-or-other and I took my chance. "Annabeth, can I talk to you?"

She'd been fiddling with the hilt of her drakon bone sword, which was literally just sitting on the coffee table, but when she heard my tone, she turned to face me. "Of course, what's up Sia?"

"Well, I don't want to bother you, but nobody else I would talk to is in the country. So... I found out that I'm pregnant the other day, but I'm not sure what to about it."

"I think that's amazing! Do you want to keep it?" was Annabeth's immediate response.

"Yes. I'm just not sure how to tell Seb."

"Honestly, Sia, I think that you should just tell him. Sebastian is a great guy, I'm sure he'll be overjoyed."

"Overjoyed about what?" The man himself spoke from the arched doorway of the living room. 

Annabeth and I both spun to face our partners. We shared a look and I decided to go for it. If he didn't want to have a baby, or if he wanted me to get rid of it, then neither me or my future child needed him, no matter how much I was in love. "Seb... I'm pregnant."

"Seriously?" I nodded, worried for a moment, but a grin spread over his face and he rushed forward, picking me up and spinning me around. My wavy brown hair flew out behind my head as we turned. "That's amazing!" Sebastian put me down, but didn't let go, holding me tight and whispering into my hair. "I love you."

He let go and crouched slightly so that his face was next to my stomach. "I love you to, Tadpole."

I raised an eyebrow. "Tadpole? Really?"

"Well what do you suggest?"

"I dunno..." My eyes scanned the room, resting on Percy. "Oh! Shrimp!"

Percy's tanned face took on a very offended expression. "Why were you looking at me when you said that?"

"Because, Percy. I just was."

"But-"

The two-time saviour of Olympus was promptly interrupted by his wife. "She's got a point, Kelp Brain."

Seb and I both laughed, and then he spoke. "I'm still calling them Tadpole." I pouted (rather unlike me, but I blame the hormones) and he smiled. "Baby number two can be Shrimp."

A/N Okay, I liked that. Thank you to Blogger2007 for requesting, and I hope you enjoyed!
