The Effects of Betrayal

Chapter 7

Apollo's POV
For a while now I've been noticing that Percy has been acting a bit strange when I'm training him. I had my suspicions about why, but I doubted them. I had sometimes caught him staring at me, and sometimes  also saw him blushing when we talked. He would also sometimes  seem to zone out when I was trying to teach him something.
I had been in enough romantic relationships to recognize when someone has romantic feelings for me, and I thought that might be why Percy was acting weird.  I doubted that theory though because as far as I knew Percy was straight.  As far as I'm aware, he has only ever been with women, and although I'm certainly not aphrodite I thought his sexuality was obvious. Now I was wondering if he might be bisexual and just hadn't come out to many people. I wasn't sure but  maybe I would find out.
I had been spending a lot of time with him since I had been training him ever since he became a god. Due to that I thought I had also developed romantic feelings for him. I certainly found him attractive, I had just never made a move because I thought he was straight. Now his training was coming to an end and I wouldn't see him as much once that was over. Now that I realised he might not be straight I knew that if I was going to make a move I should probably do it soon.
I waited until he came for his next lesson, and once we had finished it Percy didn't leave right away, and I was about to speak when Percy spoke first.
He said, "Apollo there's something I want to tell you,"
He was silent for a few moments perhaps uncertain how to word his next statement. When he finally found the right words he admitted to having feelings for me and he was clearly hoping that I shared his feelings. I could have told him in words, but I decided to answer him in a different way. I leaned forward and kissed him, making it obvious that I have feelings for him as well. The kiss may not have lasted long but I think it was enough for Percy to realise how I felt about him.
We stayed there for a while, talking and kissing some more. I was also slightly concerned, I knew that I had feelings for Percy, but due to all the failed relationships I've had in the past, I usually avoid committed long term relationships and just have one night stands or short relationships that don't last long. I wasn't sure I would be able to commit to one person, but I also didn't want to hurt percy by betraying him like that daughter of Athena did. I guess we would probably just have to talk about it and probably also take things slow. I wasn't sure how everyone else would react to our relationship, only time would reveal how it would turn out and, there was no point in worrying about something that might never even happen.

Percy's point of view
Finally revealing my feelings to Apollo was kind of a relief. the fact that he seemed to share my feelings only made it better. I hoped that this could work out and we could stay together, but I was also slightly concerned about whether either of us were really ready to commit to one Person. I was already well aware of how Apollo usually spends his nights, and I have been doing basically the same thing ever since that first night with Lisa. Hopefully we would work through it and figure it out but for now we were just enjoying the moment we were currently sharing as our lips met once again.
After I left Apollo's palace, I was happy,  I admitted my feelings to him and he returned them. Now I  knew that we could be together, and hopefully our relationship would work out.  After I got back to my own Palace I was surprised by the sound of my cell phone ringing, I suspected who it was, and once I saw the screen I knew I was right. I answered it, "Hey Lisa, how are you doing?"
"Fine,"
"Are you sure?" I asked because she sounded nervous or worried I wasn't sure which, It might have been both. Either way I was concerned that something was wrong.
"Can you come here right now?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"There's something I have to tell you,"
"Okay, I'll be there soon, bye,"
"Bye,"
I hung up and then  Headed to Lisa's, concerned about what might be bothering her. I had some ideas  for what that might be but I also could be totally wrong.  I would find out soon regardless. Once I got to Lisa's apartment, she let me in, and it was soon after that when I found out what was bothering her.  I asked "Lisa what's wrong?"
She still seemed nervous, and hesitated at first before answering, ",Percy I'm pregnant,"
"Are you sure,"
It's not that I doubted her, I just wondered if she was completely sure.
Instead of answering she started walking away, toward her bathroom. When she came back she held two pregnancy tests that both showed the same result, she was definitely pregnant. 
To be honest I wasn't too surprised considering the number of times we'd had sex. although we had tried to avoid this happening, clearly we had failed.
l had mixed feelings about becoming a father, and I was kind of worried as well but I tried not to show it as I did my best to reassure her that everything would be okay.
"I will do everything I can to help you," I promised her.
My mind flashed to the fact that she still didn't know that I was actually a Greek god. Now that she was pregnant I knew I should probably tell her the truth. I wasn't sure about that though since  not all mortals can handle knowing that everything from Greek mythology exists and I am one of the gods. I knew I wasn't going to tell her today though since she had enough on her mind without adding all that to the mix. She just learned for sure that she was pregnant. I was going to let her get used to that before saying anything about what I am and what that will mean for our child.
