Sorry I didn't update on time this week. On the plus side you get three chapters this week so...
Percy's POV
Percy was training with Jason when an Ares camper named Jordan ran up to him.
"Hey Jordan, what's up. Lukas is just getting changed. He should be out in a minute." Percy said assuming that Jordan had come to train with his friend.
"Thanks, but I'm actually here to talk to you."
"Ok then, what can I help you with?" Percy plastered on his best tour guide look as capped riptide.
"Listen, I just saw Annabeth go into your cabin and then I saw you here and not there so I thought I'd let you know."
Percy gave a small laugh, "well my friend, it seems you've misinterpreted the situation. You see Annabeth is my girlfriend and gets free reign of my cabin whenever she wants. I thought everyone knew that."
"No, I mean I knew that. It's just she looked really upset, like she had been crying. I just wanted to let you know. In case you wanted to go check on her."
Percy's face fell at this statement and he immediately shoved riptide into his pocket and took off towards cabin 3. He ran the whole way, ignoring both the strange and concerned looks that he was getting. When he finally got there he took a second to steady himself and opened the door to find Annabeth curled in him bed sobbing quietly into his pillow. As he entered she looked up, not quite meeting his eyes.
"Hey wise girl."
When she turned away and buried her head back into the pillow he climbed into bed next to her and held her to his chest, gently stroking her hair. Unfortunately this only made cry harder. They stayed there like that for a while, until Percy pulled away to look her in the eyes.
"Do you want to tell me what's wrong?" Annabeth bit her lip before before shaking her head and burying her face back into his chest. "Why not?"
"Because- because you'll be upset with me."
"Are you sure you're my wise girl?" He asked playfully, "because you're being rather silly. You know I could never be upset with you."
She pulled away from him, "I'm being serious Percy."
"So am I," he looked her dead in the eye, "just tell me and i promise i won't be mad, okay."
"Okay." She said quietly, and took a moment to steady herself, "I'm pregnant."
"Oh." He wasn't really sure what to say. It certainly wasnt what he was expected, and he certainly wasn't upset with her. He was definitely surprised, and a little concerned, but he would.never be mad at her.
"Oh good or oh bad." She looked up at him, eyes filled with worry.
"Just oh." He shook his head, "sorry I'm still processing. I promise I'm not mad I'm just a little confused since we were so careful."
"Yeah, about that." She rolled over onto her back to stare at the ceiling and proceeded to fill him in on everything that had happened since they last spoke. She told him about Aphrodite and how it was her fault, and then about how Will came and talked to her.
He let out a long sigh, "why am I not surprised that the gods were involved." They layed there in a comfortable silence for a while until percy rolled back over to face her, "I know you just found out but I was wondering if you'd thought at all about what you wanted to do?"
"Well, I'm not getting an abortion."
"Ok."
"Ok? What is that supposed to mean?"
"It just means ok, it's your body so it's your decision. If that's what you want then I'm with you on it."
"Is that what you want though?"
Honestly he didn't really know. He had never thought about it before and and didn't think that he would have to for a while. Luckily, Annabeth was really good at making decisions and he trusted her on this. Another thought popped into his head.
"We don't really have a choice do we?" Annabeth had said that Aphrodite was at fault and in his experience the gods got what they wanted.
"Not really, but if if you really thought that was the right path we could have found a way."
"No, I thought it was the right choice anyway, despite this. But annie,"
"Yeah?"
"I don't think we should do adoption. At least not unless we can find a demigod who is looking to adopt before the baby is born." His reasoning for this was extensive. For starters it would be extremely dangerous for a demigod child to live in the mortal world. More importantly he didn't want to put another kid into the system, especially not his kid. He told her all this, despite the fact that she had already agreed.
"I get it Percy. Besides, I was thinking the same thing." She smiled up at him.
He gently leant down to kiss her, "I love you." He pulled her close and nuzzled his head into the crook of her neck.
He held her in a moment of bliss until the dinner bell sounded. Annabeth didn't move. "It's dinner wise girl," he said trying to pull her out of bed.
"Can you bring mine to me." He always had a hard time denying her anything when she looked at him like that.
"Of course love. We'll talk more when I get back okay?"
"Okay."
Annabeth stayed in the Poseidon cabin for the rest of the evening, and most of the next day. By the end Percy hadn't fully come to terms with everything but he was getting there and he had a feeling Annabeth was felling the same as him.
