Tough Love

Chapter 37

Percy's P.O.V

I ringed my hands through the sheets on the bed and looked at my dad, "W-What does that mean...? Am I pregnant?"

Poseidon's eyes widened, "Oh for the love of gods no! No you are not pregnant!!"

I let out a breath of relief, "Then what's wrong?"

Clasping his hands behind his back, "Well..."

"Well?" I mimicked with a smirk.

He rolled his eyes, "For God's sake Percy, can't you take anything seriously?"

I tapped my chin, "Mmmmm...No I don't think so." Poseidon faced palmed and grumbled something inaudible,  "What?" I asked.

He cracked his knuckles, "It was nothing. Just let me tell you this. It's important."

"Okay, I'm all ears." I said tugging at my ears playfully.

Poseidon sighed heavily at me and shook his head, "Your body is now more feminine. You still sexually identify as a male, but you just have some new feminine features. Such as a chance of pregnancy. "

I held up my hand, "Whoa, okay now! More feminine?! Am I going to start having periods?!" I cried out in fear, "But I don't have a vagina! How would that work out?! Am I going to bleed from my fucking urethra?!" Both Poseidon and I cringed at the thought.

"What in the name of Hades is wrong with you?!" Poseidon pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head, "You aren't going to have a menstrual cycle. At least I don't thinks so, but it's highly unlikely. But you will have the occurring mood swings and cravings. So basically you will have the symptoms of a period, but not have to deal with the actual thing." He explained.

Letting out a sigh of relief, I put a hand on my chest, "Oh thank Gods... I don't think that will be a problem. I am already sassy as it is and I eat the weirdest things so I doubt people would notice."

"Yeah because you're an odd child." He muttered.

I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed, "I want chocolate." I stated.

Poseidon smiled, "And so it begins." He stood up, "I must take my leave now." He leaned down and kissed my head, "Bye, Percy."

"Bye, dad!" he chuckled and walked out.

I was left alone in the hospital room. Turning to my side I curled up on the bed and sighed. The silence was unbearable. I sat up quickly.

Where the fuck is my iPod?  Oh please let it be here.

Looking around the bare room, I saw nothing but medical stuff, "Well damn..." I muttered and looked at the ceiling.

What seemed like forever now, someone knocked on the door. I looked over lazily, "Come in."

Chiron trotted into the hospital room with a warm smile, "Good day, Percy. How are you feeling?"

A smile broke out on my face and I quickly sat up, "Chiron! I'm fine. Just a bit drained is all."

He stood next to the bed and laid his hand on the crown of my head, "Have you been getting enough rest?"

"I just woke up from a coma. I think I've had enough rest." I said with a small eye roll.

Chiron noticed this, but only smiled kindly at me, "Oops my bad. You are very correct, Percy. I'm just worried. You gave us all quite the fright."

I looked down, "Sorry..." I mumbled.

The centaur ruffled my hair, "Don't be sorry. It's not your fault that you're here. Event's that happened between you and Jason is why you were in placed you here."
