"What?" I ask.
"Percy... I'm pregnant." She repeats.
I take a moment to process. "Dam..."
"What your not happy?" She asks.
"No, I am incredibly happy... its just that the games is two days from now." I stand up my heart starting to beat faster and faster.
"We have to tell someone." Annabeth says.
"Yeah....Yeah, its late now, so tomorrow when we wake up we'll tell Mr. D and Aphrodite, they can speak to the game makers." I finish undressing. "They will take you out off the games... But they will definitely keep me in." I slide into bed.
"Yeah..." she mumbles and wraps her arms around me.
I lay my hand on her stomach. "I'll win, and come back home... to you." She stays quite.
Soon after we fall asleep, and in what feels like five minutes the sun blares in my face.
"Wake Up kid!" Mr. D barges in.
"Ugh... shut up..." my head pounds.
"That's what you get for stealing my booze, now get up and get some greasy food." He pushes a metal cup, and it falls and clanks on the ground.
"No... Stop..." I move my arm to Annabeth's side. She's gone. "Where is she?"
"Eating breakfast, now come." He rattles a chair and knocks it over to the ground.
I stumble to the table, Annabeth sits quietly sliding a plate of eggs away from her. Aphrodite dainty nibbles a strawberry without a thought in her head. I kiss Annabeth's head and sit next to her, I slide the eggs a little further, Mr. D looking at us suspiciously.
"Really?" He sighs.
"What is it?" Aphrodite asks.
Mr. D slides the eggs in front of Annabeth, and she gags, gets up and runs to the bathroom.
"Why would you do that?" I complain.
"You two are the biggest idiots..." He shakes his head. "I'll tell the game makers, hopefully it's not too late." He gets up and walks out.
"What is happening, does Annabeth hate eggs... but that don't make sense she usually eats...them..." Her face slowly drops, her eyes start wheeling up instantly. "Is...Annabeth..." I nod and the tears stream form her eyes.
I hand her some napkins and she grabs my hand. "What?" I ask her.
"If they take Annabeth out... Please fight hard... as hard as you can." She sobs.
"I will..."
Annabeth comes back in, and Aphrodite sobs louder.
"What happened?" Annabeth asks.
"She figured it out." I rub my temple trying to ease the pounding.
"Oh, I see." Annabeth sits down and plugs her nose quickly. "Percy..." I look at her and take the plate of eggs and throw them out. A whiff of the eggs must have gotten her cause she gags loudly.
"Ugh... I'm too hungover for this..."
