In This Together

Chapter 3

Percy's POV

I heard the bathroom door close. I leaned forward and put my head in my hands, bouncing my leg nervously. "Percy, honey, if this test is positive, I'm going to..." 

I cut my mom off, "you are going to what? Get mad? Well honestly mom, you have no right to get mad! This is the same way I was made only you were 18! Annabeth and I are 19, almost 20. You can't get mad. This is actually a better situation than it was when you got pregnant with me. At least if Annabeth is..." I paused, scared to say it, "at least if Annabeth is pregnant, I'll stay, unlike my dad. I will stay and help. I'm not disappearing for 12 years like Poseidon." 

I looked up at my mom and regretted saying those things. She looked hurt. "Mom, I'm sorry. I just snapped and I..." 

"No honey, you had every right to say that. I needed to hear that. I'm looking at it in a different way now. But look, we don't even know if the test is positive or negative yet." Sally interrupted. She sat down next to me and hugged me. 

I leaned into her, just like when I was little. We sat like that for about 5 minutes then I heard the bathroom door open.

Annabeth POV

I looked at the stick in shock. "What?" I asked my self. Gripping the test in my hand, I walked into the living room. When Percy saw me he got up and wrapped his arms around me. I leaned into him. "Percy, I'm... I'm..." 

"Hey it's ok. Whatever the answer is, we can get through it together."

 I nodded and took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant." 

(Btw I know you can't find out like the next day in real life. I've been pregnant before and I didn't know until I was almost two months along. Let's just say that it goes faster for demigods.)
