My Best Friend's Brother part Two [percabeth]

Ten

Annabeth POV
Two weeks later...

"Alright sweetie, feel better okay?" James kisses my forehead and is off to work. Its been two weeks since... Percy, and I am physically sick about it. Sure the physical symptoms only recently started, but he hasn't left my mind the whole time.

James seems to have gotten over the whole 'not spending New Years together' fiasco, especially since he's taking care of me, and is just being sweet. He's too good for me. How many times can I say it!?

When he got home from work he came in and sat down across from me.
"I think I need to take you to a doctor hon."
"Its just like a morning cold."
"Thats not normal. Please honey."
"Fine we can go tomorrow, but I'm telling you its probably just allergies or something minuscule like that."
"If it is, then great, but I'm worried about you, so please, for me?" He did his own pouty face, and honestly, its kind of growing on me.
...

James helps me out of the car, and holds my hand as we walk into the doctor's office. He checks me in after sitting me down in the waiting area. He then insisted on coming into my appointment like I'm a child.
"Have you been sexually active?"
"Yes."
"Is there a possibility you could be pregnant?" Crap.
"We haven't in a while..."
"Baby! This is so great! We're gonna have a family! A family together!"
"Yeah..." What if... no. I-it can't be his... We didn't use a co— shit. Its fine. Its fine! We're fine. Percy doesn't and won't need to know, I'll let James think its his, and everyone wins. Everybody, everywhere, wins. Except maybe Percy, but I'm doing what I need to do for my family. James looks enough like Percy that it'll be believable. Percy doesn't need this. I don't need Percy

On our way out of the doctors, my phone rings. I tell James to go on a head and that I'll meet up with him in like five minutes. I stay back to talk to Peyton.
"Hey Pey, whats up?"
"I wanted to check in and see how you were feeling babe?"
"Oh I uhm... I just went to the doctor and they said that I'm... I'm uhm pregnant..."
"You don't think..."
"Of course I think its his but it can't be his."
"Annabeth, have you had sex with James in the past month?"
"No but, James still thinks its his, and I'm not about to tell my very soon to be husband that I'm pregnant with my ex's baby."
"Babe, you and I both know that if Percy knew he has a kid, he'd want to be apart of its life." I couldn't help but cry.
"I know! Okay!? I know, I just— I can't let him in again."
"You can't do this to James either."
"I know! Believe me I didn't want this to happen."
"Things like this don't happen on accident."
"Yes they do! They literally do, like all the time."
"You know what I mean."
"Peyton, promise me you won't tell him its his."
"But I can tell him you're pregnant?"
"...Yes but Peyton, don't tell him how far along I am, don't give him any real information, just enough that he'll stay away?"
"I really don't like this Annabeth, I hate lying to Percy."
"You think I wanted this to happen like this? No! If I'm going to have a baby, its going to be James' and Percy will have nothing to do with this child."
"Annabeth it really isnt fair to either one of them."
"I know. Okay? I know. I know I know, I know. I know what I'm doing isn't right. I know how wrong it is, but I need time—"
"You have at least nine months."
"Ha ha. I just need time to think this whole thing over."
"I'll be there for you the whole way babe."
"I know, and I couldn't thank you enough. Love you."
"Love you too. You should get back to Mr. James though."
"Okay, bye."
"Buh-bye."

"That took a while."
"Peyton was just excited to hear about the baby."
"You told her?"
"Of course! She's my best friend!"
"And the fact that she's your ex's sister didn't seem to cross your mind?"
"She was my friend first, and it shouldn't matter."
"Well it does when she's Percy Jackson's sister."
"James... you know I love you right?"  He harrumphed. "Just great."
