Annabeth Chase was never late. Never. No matter where she went she always would be on time - early even.
For the first three years of thier marriage, neither Percy or Annabeth were late for anything. That was the was she liked it. If it was on time - It was orderly, and Annabeth lived for orderly.
As a young couple, Percy would sometimes arrived ten minutes late for a date, but he quickly learned it was like having a death wish. He quickly adjusted to his crazy wife's OCD and soon the pair was almost always on time.
So when Annabeth's period was three weeks late, she freaked. She told her self that even perfect designs have flaws, and that it was a mistake. But when she started having morning sickness, she got worried. Really worried.
The first day she threw up, she stayed home from work, still convincing herself that it was just a bug. Percy asked a million times if she was okay before he left for his job. Annabeth told him she was okay, and he hesitantly left.
About ten minutes later, she went to the store and bought a pregnancy test. And after that, it took her about an hour to convince herself to take it. Finally she went to the bathroom and waited the longest five minutes of her life.
One. What if she wasnt ready?
Two. What if Percy didnt want this? Three. Can I even give birth?
Four. How the hell am I going to tell him?
And when Five finally came around, She took it and ran for the bedroom.
Look at it! Look at it!
She flipped it over.
Annabeth knew the simple lines would change her life forever.
Two lines. Pregnant.
Before she could take it in the phone rang.
"He-Hello?"
"Annabeth. it's going to be okay"
The person on the other end was unmistakably her friend, Rachel Dare. She must have known, how couldn't she? Rachel could see the future. Annabeth knew that when it comes to this redhead, she can't keep secrets.
"Rachel. I-" but before she could finish Annabeth burst into tears.
"Annabeth. It's okay. Percy will be so happy to hear this!" Annabeth kept crying. "Sweetie. he's wanted kids forever!"
"but-im not ready, is it even safe?"
"of course you are, besides your not the only greek demigod to have children."
This startled her. She knew over at camp Jupiter they had kids all the time, but here? "what?"
"Piper too. she found out about 29 minutes ago."
Maybe Annabeth wasnt so screwed after all. (well actually, she was screwed but thay didnt matter) At least she had her best friend in this with her.
"Rachel thank you, I love you. Im sorry I hated you once" Rachel laughed, "Anytime. Bye"
Annabeth hung up and dialed Pipers number. She immediatly picked up. "H-hey Annabeth- I uh" Piper was just as distressed, sniffling just as Annabeth was a few minutes ago.
"It's okay, Pipes, Me too" The other line was silent for a pause."Annabeth you're Pre-"
"Yes."
