My Best Friend's Brother part Two [percabeth]

Twelve

Annabeth POV

I wake up and I swear I can smell the trash thats downstairs, I puke at the sight.
"Oh baby try to get some more sleep okay?" James leans over and kisses my forehead as he stands up to get ready for work. I already took two days off work yesterday and the day before to go to the doctor.

I wish the baby was James' but I know its Percy's there's no way that this baby is James' we haven't has sex in like two months. Thank the gods he doesn't understand the female reproductive system, because if he did... I'd have some trouble on my hands...

I get up and head to work. I sit down at my desk and my assistant— who I thought was my assistant came over.

"Miss Chase?"

"Steve could you get me a coffee please?"

"Wise Girl you know caffeine is bad for the baby right?" I almost jumped out of my chair.

"Percy! W-What are you doing here?"

"I'm your new assistant!"

"Why?"

"I paid Steve to quit, so I could be there for you."

"N—No— he needed that job! Percy what the hell!?"

"I know James can't be there for you during the day so I will."

"Percy I told you, you're not the father."

"I know thats what you said, but as a friend I find it my duty to be there when no one else can. So... decaf?"

"Decaf..." I grumble and get to work on the architectural plans for this concert hall.

"Decaf m'lady." He placed the mug down with two and a half Splenda, the way I always did it. I remember the day he found out about my weird Splenda concoction that I make. I take whole milk, fat free milk, and two and a half Splenda. I can't believe he remembered.

"Thanks." He went to the break room and sat down with his computer.  My stomach did a weird thing and Percy might have this weird fatherly sense because he came in as it happened.

"Annabeth whoa, whoa, let me get you some water." He ran and got me a glass of water.

"Thank you, I'm fine though so you can just go file some files or whatever. Go see if anybody else needs help okay? Go." He seemed hurt but went to go help the others.
...

As the next three weeks went on, my stomach got a tiny bit bigger, obviously, and Percy got accustomed to my daily schedule.

"Wise Girl you have two meetings today, and a lunch with a client."

"Thanks." He started to walk away. "Uhm Perce?" He popped his head back in. "You can uhm... you can work in here today if you- i-if you want."

"Really!?"

"Yeah... why not?" He scrambled and got all his papers. He set them down on the desk my old assistant used to work at and got to work. "So uhm... how've you been?"

"I've been good, really enjoying working here."

"I appreciate that you did all this I really do but I'm not going to just tell you that you're the father."

"But I am though?"

"Y- no. No you are not the father. So why don't you call the Murphy's and confirm our lunch with them for Friday?"

"Yes Ma'am..."
...

"Uhm A-Annabeth?"

"Yeah?" He looked at me with those dam seal eyes.

"W— Would you tell me if I was?... You know- uhm t-the father?" What am I supposed to say?

"Percy... I— I can't." He nodded sadly, and packed his things up for the day.

When I got home I saw some old pictures come up on my Snapchat memories and it was Percy and me on one of our movie nights. I was leaned up against his chest, kissing his cheek and then it hit me. I remembered why I love Percy. Because he's... he's Percy! I knew it the second I looked through the photos and saw Percy's eyes. His eyes look the same. They're filled with love... love for... for me.

He wants to help. He wants to be there. Hell he's been there so what is there to lose!?

"James!"

"Hey babe! Whats up?" I take off my ring and give it to him.
"I... can't marry you."

"W-Why not?"

"Did you really think this baby is yours?"

"Well I mean we did it what...? t-two months ago?"

"The kid's not yours!"

"Oh. So this whole thing was about Percy! Isnt it!?"

"I won't lie to you, Percy is the father, and I'm on my way to go see him now."

"Oh."

"Yep. Thanks for your time, I appreciate everything you taught me, and letting me move in with you and all, but I know where I have to go now." I don't even wait for him to say anything before I take the car keys and rush over to Percy's apartment.

A/n: This would have been a great point to like leave it on a cliff hanger but I feel like this chapter needs more so here ya go...

I run up the stairs to Percy's apartment and furiously pound on his door.

"What!? Dude you know its like two... A-Annabeth?" He was in just his boxers, and I may or may not have
drooled a tiny bit.

"Hey Seaweed Brain. I uhm—" That was the moment everything decided to hit me like a truck. Between the pregnancy hormones and the rush of seeing his eyes in person again. I snapped.

"Oh shi— c-come here." He wrapped me in a hug and let me cry into his neck. He then guided me to his couch and sat me down.

"—Perce? Who's here?" A girl I recognize as Rachel came out and yawned.

"Go back to bed Rach I'll be back in a couple alright?" He stood up and kissed... he kissed Rachel. He— He's back with Rachel? "Alright, whats going on?"

"You're the dad."
