Annabeth's POV
After her conversation with her stepmom Annabeth retired to her room to get some rest before dinner. Considering everything she thought that her announcement went well. Her father had taken the news exactly how she had expected and her stepmother took it so much better than she thought she would. It had actually helped their relationship. Hopefully Mrs.Chase would be able to smooth everything over with her dad before Percy got there. To pass the time Annabeth decided to Iris message Piper to see how everything was going back at camp. She went into her bathroom, filled up the sink, and tossed a drachma into it.
"Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering." Seconds later Piper's face appeared on the screen.
"Hey, Annabeth how are you doing?"
"I'm doing good, just got to my parents house. Is there anyone else there with you?"
"Nope it's just me so we can talk about anything you want to. Have you told your parents yet?
Also how did Sally take the news?"
"Sally was great. Obviously she wasn't thrilled about the timing and circumstances, but I think she's secretly thrilled about being a grandmother."
"That's amazing, Percy's mom is so nice."
"She is."
"And what about your parents have you told them yet?"
"Oh, yeah." Annabeth shrugged. "They took it pretty well. My dad hasn't said anything to me, but my stepmom is being really great."
"I thought you said she sucked."
"I guess I was wrong. She's trying to convince dad to not be mad so that he doesn't kill Percy when he gets here."
"I'm Guessing that means you went with your visiting a friend plan?"
"Yep," Annabeth smiled and let out a small laugh, "clever right"
"Well, you're not a daughter of Athena for nothing right?"
"Yeah, by the way how are things at camp?"
"Things are going great, we got a few new campers in this week and no one has died yet. Oh, and I've almost convinced Cheron to make an exception and let you stay in the poseidon cabin with Percy."
"Really!"
"Yep," she smiled proudly, "he's still a little upset that you even had sex in the first place, but I think he's going to let go of that. You are seventeen after all, what did he think was going to happen after you survived a war together."
"Piper," she said with absolute sincerity, "You are the best."
"I know. Anyway, the dinner bell is ringing so I have to go, but good luck with Percy and your dad. Call me with an update soon, and say hi to Percy for me."
"Will do, thanks again." Annabeth waved goodbye before swiping her hand through the mist and ending the call. She plopped down on her bed, resting her hands on her stomach and staring up at the ceiling.
She must have fallen asleep like that because next thing she knew her door slammed shut and there was Percy holding it shut and staring at her with wide eyes.
"Hey wise girl, I don't think your plan worked. Your dad is pretty upset with me."
"There's a lock on my door," She rolled his eyes at his terror, "now come over here and give me a kiss."
