~Brooke~

I woke up, snuggled to my brother's chest. I woke him up, gently. He gave me a questioning look as to why I woke him up. 1) I had to go to the bathroom. 2) I had a doctor's appointment in an hour. He released me and went to his apartment to shower and get dressed so he could come with me to the doctor's office.

I went into the bathroom, taking my hair out of it's french braid, and stripped. I got in the shower and washed my hair. After washing my body and shaving my legs, I got out. I dried my self off and wrapped my self in my towel. I blow dried my hair and let it fall in it's natural curls. I made sure that my towel was secure and walked into my bedroom. Percy hadn't returned yet. I locked my bedroom door and opened my closet. I pulled out a black short sleeve shirt and white overalls. I put them both on and laced up my black combat boots.(A/N: Image in picture thingy at the top)

I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and was faced with Percy. I smiled and grabbed my phone, wallet, and keys. We walked out of my apartment and I locked the door. We exited the building and Percy opened the car door for me, I curtsied and he bowed. We laughed as I sat in the driver's seat. Percy ran around the front of the car and got in the passenger seat. We made our way to the doctor's office.

We were sitting in the waiting room when my name was called. "Ya ready?" Percy asked me, grabbing my hand. I nodded nervously. He squeezed my hand reassuringly. I smiled at him and we walked into Dr. Lancaster's office, hand-in-hand. I sat down on the bed/table thing and Percy sat in the chair next to it, not letting go of my hand. Dr. Lancaster walked in and greeted us.

"And how are we today, Brooke?" She asked with a smile.

"We're not sure," I replied remembering what happened yesterday. Percy must have seen the sadness in my eyes, he squeezed my hand comfortingly.

"Is this the father?" Dr. Lancaster asked.

"WHAT?! EW!!" Percy and I yelled in synchronization.

"This is my twin brother, Percy." I said. Percy gave a little wave to Dr. Lancaster.

"Oh, sorry for jumping to assumptions. Will the father be joining us?" She asked hopefully. I looked at my lap, a tear rolling down my face.

"The father will not be coming anytime soon." Percy replied for me. He stood from his chair and wrapped his arms around me, making me feel safe and secure. I leaned into the hug.

"May I ask why?" Dr. Lancaster asked. She set down her clipboard and sat at the end of the bed/table thing. I pulled away from Percy and wiped a tear from my face.

"I told him yesterday that I was pregnant, and he freaked out. He ran out of my apartment and I haven't seen him since." I said, holding back sobs. I took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down. Dr. Lancaster nodded and stood up, starting on my appointment. She checked my ankles, hands and face for swelling, writing things on her clipboard as she went. She took my blood pressure and weighed me.

We left the doctor's office and Percy drove to the apartment building. We took the elevator to our floor and walked down the hallway. I passed Nico's apartment and stopped. I knocked on the door and Hazel answered. She smiled at me and opened the door for me and Percy to come in. I sat on the black couch and put my feet up on the coffee table. Percy sat next to me.

"How was the doctor's appointment?" Hazel asked, sitting across the table from us and handing me a mug of my favorite tea. I took a sip and smiled halfheartedly.

"It was okay, I guess. I wish Nico had been there." I said, looking down at my mug.

"He locked himself in his room, if you wanna try and talk to him." Hazel suggested, motioning towards the hallway. I stood up and walked to his door. I knocked quietly.

"Who is it?" I heard his voice from the other side of the door, it sounded sad, or mad?

"It's Brooke," I said quietly, hoping he had heard me, but not having enough heart to speak louder with out crying. I heard the lock click and the door opened. I was met with Nico's brown eyes. He opened the door wider and I walked in.

~Nico~

Brooke walked into my room. I closed the door behind her and sat down on my bed. She stayed standing by the door. She was looking down at her hands. Fiddling with her charm bracelet. I stood up and grabbed her hand, pulling her to the bed with me and sitting down. She sat next to me and played with her locket I got her for her birthday. I lifted her chin to look in her eyes.

"Why did you run out yesterday?" She whispered, hurt in her voice and in her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I was freaked out. I didn't think I would be able to support a family. I didn't think I would be a good father. I thought you would be better off without me." I said honestly, looking down.

"Where did you ever get a thought like that?" She asked. "Did you not hear me sobbing after you ran out? I think you will make a great father, as long as you don't run out on us again." She looked in my eyes, with a hand on her stomach, she was quite skinny so she already had a small bump. I placed my hand on hers and she smiled. I laced my fingers through hers and pulled her into a hug. I wrapped my arms around her and she snuggled into my chest.

~3 months later~
~Brooke~

I am now 23 weeks pregnant. My stomach is growing and I haven't told my dad yet, in fear of what he will do to Nico. I have an ultrasound today. I am going to tell my dad, while Nico goes to work, after my doctor's appointment.

Oh!

One more thing.

I'm having triplets.

I hope you enter my contest and I hope you liked the chapter. I hope you liked the surprise at the end. In the next chapter, there will be an ultrasound picture, courtesy of the internet. In the next chapter you will also learn the genders!!!
