I burst into Luke's cabin, tears streaming down my face. I found him sitting on his bed, reading a book. He looked up in surprise as I entered.

"Taylor, what's wrong?" he asked, immediately setting his book aside and standing up to come to me.

"I'm pregnant," I blurted out, the words tumbling from my lips before I could stop them.

Luke's eyes widened in shock, but he quickly recovered and pulled me into a tight hug. "It's okay, Tay," he whispered soothingly. "We'll figure this out together."

I sniffled, feeling a small measure of relief at his words. "Really? You're not mad?"

"Of course not," he assured me. "I love you, and I'll support you no matter what."

I smiled, feeling my heart swell with love for him. "Thank you," I said, reaching up to kiss him.

We broke apart as a knock sounded on the door. Luke opened it to reveal Chiron.

"May I come in?" he asked, his tone serious.

Luke nodded and stepped aside to let him enter. Chiron's gaze fell on me, and he furrowed his brow.

"Taylor, is it true?" he asked gently. "Are you pregnant?"

I nodded, feeling my cheeks heat with embarrassment. "Yes, sir. I am."

Chiron let out a sigh. "I see. This is... unexpected, to say the least. But I want you to know that I am here for you, and I will support you in any way that I can."

I smiled, feeling grateful for his understanding. "Thank you, Chiron."

"However," he continued, his tone becoming more serious. "I must caution you about the potential dangers of this situation. Being a demigod child is not easy, and bringing a new life into this world comes with its own set of challenges."

I nodded, understanding his concerns. "I know, Chiron. But Luke and I are ready to face them together."

Chiron nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Very well. I will do everything in my power to help you both."

He turned to Luke. "As for you, Luke, I expect you to take this responsibility seriously. You have a duty to protect Taylor and your child, and I will be watching you closely."

Luke nodded, looking solemn. "I understand, Chiron. I won't let you down."

Chiron nodded and turned to leave, but not before casting one last glance at me. "Take care of yourself, Taylor. And remember, you can always come to me if you need anything."

After he left, I turned to Luke. "I think we should tell my family," I said. "They're going to find out eventually, and I'd rather they hear it from us."

Luke nodded in agreement. "Okay. Let's go tell them together."

We made our way to the cabin I shared with my twin sister, Piper. I could see the curiosity on her face as we approached, and I knew she was wondering why we were there.

"Hey, guys," she said, a smile on her face. "What's up?"

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for her reaction. "We have something to tell you," I said, my voice shaking slightly.

Piper's smile faded, and she looked at us with concern. "What is it? Is everything okay?"

I nodded, taking Luke's hand in mine for support. "I'm pregnant," I said, the words coming out in a rush.

Piper's eyes widened in shock, and she looked at us with a mixture of surprise and concern. "Oh my gods," she breathed. "Are you serious?"

I nodded, feeling my eyes fill with tears. "Yes. I just found out today."

Piper's face broke out into a huge smile. "Oh my gods, Taylor, that's amazing!" she exclaimed, pulling me into a tight hug. "I'm going to be an aunt!"

I laughed, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. "I'm glad you're happy about it," I said, smiling up at her.

Piper pulled back and looked at Luke. "And you, Luke," she said, her tone stern. "You better take care of my sister and my niece or nephew."

Luke nodded, looking solemn. "I will, Piper. I promise."

Piper nodded, satisfied. "Good. Now, let's go tell the others."

We made our way to the cabin that Percy, my older brother, shared with Annabeth, his girlfriend. I could see the suspicion on Percy's face as we approached, and I knew he was wondering why we were there.

"What's going on?" he asked, his tone guarded.

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for his reaction. "We have something to tell you," I said, my voice shaking slightly.

Percy's eyes narrowed, and he looked at us with suspicion. "What is it?" he asked.

I swallowed hard, feeling my heart race. "I'm pregnant," I said, the words coming out in a rush.

Percy's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Luke with anger. "You son of a-" he began, but I cut him off.

"It's not like that, Percy," I said, my voice pleading. "Luke and I are in love, and we're going to have a baby together."

Percy looked at me, his expression softening. "Taylor, are you sure about this?" he asked, his tone concerned.

I nodded, feeling a wave of certainty wash over me. "Yes, Percy. I've never been more sure of anything in my life."

Percy let out a sigh, looking resigned. "Okay," he said, pulling me into a tight hug. "I'll support you, no matter what."

I smiled, feeling grateful for his understanding. "Thank you, Percy."

Annabeth looked at us with a small smile. "Congratulations, you two," she said. "I'm happy for you."

I smiled, feeling relief wash over me. "Thank you, Annabeth," I said.

She looked at Luke, her expression serious. "But Luke," she said, her tone warning. "You better take care of my friend and her baby, or you'll have me to deal with."

Luke nodded, looking solemn. "I will, Annabeth. I promise."

Annabeth nodded, satisfied. "Good. Now, let's go tell the others."

We made our way to the dining pavilion, where the rest of the campers were gathered for dinner. I could feel the eyes of everyone on us as we approached, and I knew they were wondering why we were there.

Chiron stood up as we approached, his expression serious. "What is it, Taylor?" he asked. "Is everything okay?"

I nodded, feeling my heart race. "Yes, Chiron. I have something to tell you all."

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for their reactions. "I'm pregnant," I said, the words coming out in a rush.

A collective gasp went up from the crowd, and I could see the shock and surprise on their faces. Chiron looked at me with a small smile.

"Congratulations, Taylor," he said, his tone warm. "I'm happy for you."

I smiled, feeling grateful for his understanding. "Thank you, Chiron."

The rest of the campers began to offer their congratulations as well, and I could see the joy and excitement on their faces. I looked up at Luke, feeling a wave of love wash over me.

"Thank you," I whispered, reaching up to kiss him.

He smiled down at me, his eyes shining with love. "Anytime, Tay," he said, his voice filled with warmth.

I knew that the road ahead wouldn't be easy, but with Luke by my side, I knew that we could face anything together. And as I looked around at the faces of my family and friends, I knew that they would be there for us every step of the way.
