I look down. A little plus sign. Positive.
I put my head on my hands. "What am I going to do?" I wisper to myself. "How am I going to tell him? He's probably going to hate me." I keep mumbling to myself. I hear a knock on the door.

"Wise girl you okay in there?" I hear a worried seaweed brain say. "You've been in there a while." He says.

"I'm fine just have a stomach ache is all. I'll be out in a few." I lie. I throw the stick in the garbage and then wash my hands. I'm only 18 how can I do this. I'm so stupid I should have been more careful I think as I leave the bathroom. I trail my hand along the wall as I walk to the kitchen.

We had just gotten this apartment about a month ago when Percy turned 18. We had been staying at Sally's place in his bedroom for the last year. We had looked at a lot of houses and this one just stood out. So with the help of the money the gods gave us we bought a small little two bedroom house about a block from Sally and still close enough to camp.

When I got to the kitchen I see Percy making dinner. I wrap my arms around him putting my head in the crook of his neck. He sets the food down turning around and wrapping his arms around me too. He smiles.

"Are you feeling any better?" He asks resting his head on top of mine.

"It's probably just a little stomach bug. Nothing to worry about." I tell him shrugging.
"Do you need to go to the doctors or
anything?" He asks worryingly.

"I'll be fine seaweed brain, stop worrying." I say chuckling. Pulling back I walk towards our bedroom with Percy walking behind me. All of a sudden I'm in the air in Percy's arms but as it happens I feel my stomach start to hurt and then I'm running towards the bathroom. I lean down over the toilet and throw up.

I only realize that Percy followed me is when he started rubbing my back and keeping my hair out of my face. After a few minutes of this I lean against him resting my head on his shoulder.

He stands up and then picks me up with him. "Let's get you into bed." He says kissing my forehead. When we get to our bedroom he lays me on the bed and grabs the thermometer.
"Wait Percy, we don't need that." I say nervously. I grab it from him and set it down on the dresser.

"Um Annabeth yes we're do we're going to see if you're sick or not." He tells me.

"Percy come sit down I have to tell you something." I say taking his hand.

"Okay." He answers. He sits down.

"Percy I'm pregnant!" I rush out. I knew if I didn't say it soon I wouldn't end up saying it. While I said it I had closed my eyes. I open them to see him staring at my stomach with the biggest smile I've ever seen.

"I'm going to be a dad!" He yells hugging me. And then we're kissing. I stop.

"Percy what are we going to do? I mean we're only 18." I start to freak out.

"Annabeth calm down we'll figure out okay?"

"Okay." I say calming down. And together we fall asleep with that happy thought.
