Annabeth's POV

I had missed my period for over a month and I was worried. I didn't know if I wanted to be pregnant. I wasn't getting any of the symptoms but I checked some websites and lots of women who had gotten pregnant had no signs.

I went to the drugstore on my way home from work and bought a pregnancy test. I drove home, butterflies fluttering in my stomach. Percy wasn't coming home until 6 that night. So I had a half an hour.

I peed on the stick then washed my hands and made some popcorn. The three minutes felt like forever.

"Come on come on!" I said impatiently.

When the popcorn was done I put it in a bowl on the counter and then I ran upstairs eager to see what it said. It had two lines. I read the box. Terrified, I shook and dropped it. Oh my gods! I thought. I'm pregnant!

"I'm pregnant!" I whispered barely able to get a breath.

I scooped up the box. What kind of mother am I going to be? I hope my kid loves me. I wonder what his or her personality is going to be. Am I going to be a good mother? All of these thoughts panicked me. The worst one of all was: How will Percy react? Will he leave?
