Well, I'm finally back. This is going to definitely be a Thaluke fic. Thalia and Luke aren't demigods, they're regular teens; Luke being 20 and Thalia 18, both in college. They make some bad decisions and end up with some unexpected surprises. Please let me know what you think about it and if I should continue! Please enjoy as well. :D~Bolts and Trees
Thalia sighed and flopped down onto her bed, her best friend looked over at her and raised his eyebrows. This was how they were, they could communicate through facial expressions and understand one another. Luke sighed and flopped down next to her.
"What's wrong today?" Luke asked.
"I'm failing physics." She groaned.
Luke rolled his eyes, "Failing isn't a C Thals."
"It is when you've had straight A's." Thalia mumbled and grabbed her moose pillow pet Bacon. Luke rested his head on her stomach, which was toned but soft and Thalia absentmindedly ran her fingers through his hair.
"There's definitely more than just 'failing' physics." Luke whispered.
Finally Luke broke through, "Fine, if you really must know I was cheated on."
"Now you tell me." Luke said sitting up and pulling Thalia with him, "We need to go get all the pizza we can to fix this."
Thalia shook her head, "That's not going to work this time Luke."
Luke frowned, when it came to break-ups, pizza always worked for Thalia. She didn't even need Ben & Jerry's to make her feel better.
"Then what will make you feel better?" he asked. Luke hated seeing Thalia hurt.
Thalia blushed, "I'm not talking about this with you."
"What...do you need girly things?" Luke asked, his face coloring slightly.
Thalia laughed, "No, it's nothing like that, it's just..." she trailed off.
Luke looked at her, "Just what?"
She shook her head, "Never mind, you can't really help me with that."
"Do you want to go to a party?" Luke asked hoping Thalia would agree.
She shrugged, "If you really want to. I don't have anything clean for a party."
"You'll look fine in whatever you wear. I heard Rachel's having a party tonight." Luke waggled his eyebrows, "Plus to get in you apparently need a plus one."
Thalia rolled her eyes, "What's the point of that?"
Luke shrugged, "Not exactly sure."
When the pair arrived at Rachel's house, Thalia was instantly swept away by her friends Naomi and Phoebe. Luke kept an eye on her when his friend Chris walked over and handed him a beer.
"How did you get in without a date?" Luke asked curiously knowing Chris was extremely single.
Chris laughed, "I did the impossible."
"Which is?" Luke asked.
"I convinced Clarisse La Rue to come with me. What about you?" Chris asked.
"I brought Thalia with me." Luke shrugged. Luke looked across the room at Thalia who was sipping on a beer and found himself smiling.
"So, you brought Thalia and I brought Clarisse." Chris nodded and clinked his bottle against Luke's, "Well done."
Luke rolled his eyes, "I must say, you impress me Rodriguez."
"As do you Castellan." Chris nodded.
After awhile Thalia, a very intoxicated Thalia at that, made her way back to an extremely intoxicated Luke. Luke smiled at her as she practically fell into his arms, "Where have you been?"
Thalia looked up at him and smiled, "I was with friends."
Thalia and Luke stumbled out to Luke's truck, they weren't going to drive. As soon as Luke shut the door Thalia practically jumped into his lap and attacked his lips with hers.
"God Thalia." Luke moaned as she started to unbutton the shirt he was wearing. She smirked at him and continued to kiss him. Luke ran his hands over Thalia's curves and soon enough their clothes were shed and the rest of the night was a blur.
The next morning Luke woke up and looked over at Thalia who was wearing his shirt and then groaned. He couldn't bring himself to think that he and Thalia had hooked up. He ran his hand through his hair sighed. He prayed he used protection...he couldn't remember a thing.
"Thals, wake up." Luke whispered shaking Thalia's shoulder gently. Her eyes fluttered and she groaned before turning over and trying to go back to sleep. Luke repeated the process finally ending in success.
"What?" Thalia asked.
"I think we hooked up." Luke whispered.
"No we did..." she trailed off and looked at what she was wearing, "Oh my God. Did we use protection, God I can't remember anything?!"
Luke cupped her face in his hands and forced her to look at him, "Thals I'm sure everything's fine. I'm pretty sure I used protection."
Thalia looked at him and nodded, "If you say you did I'm sure you did."
Luke started his truck and looked over at Thalia, "I should get you home before Annabeth starts freaking out."
Thalia nodded, "You're right."
Luke walked Thalia up to the door. She was still wearing nothing but his shirt and Luke had to admit it was hot. She turned to him and stood on her tiptoes before kissing him softly.
"Thanks Luke." she smiled.
"It was no problem." Luke nodded, not quite sure what she was thanking him for. He didn't think she was thanking him for the frick fracking. After that she disappeared inside the house and Luke decided to go home, praying he used protection the whole way.
Thalia tried to act normally for the next month. The moment she woke up violently ill she knew her worst fear was most likely to be confirmed. She finished her wave of illness and grabbed the tests out of the cupboard.
Her roommate Annabeth walked in, "Thals why are you pacing?"
"I think I'm pregnant." Thalia whispered. She couldn't bare to bring herself to accept the fact that it was more than likely she was pregnant.
"Thals, do you know who the father is?" Annabeth asked, looking at the tests that all read the same result; positive.
"Luke." Thalia whispered.
Annabeth sighed and wrapped her arms around her best friend, "Thals, are you going to tell him?"
"I have to, there's no way I can't tell him. He'll start to notice in a few months." Thalia whispered.
Annabeth hugged Thalia tightly, "I'll be here for you."
Thalia nodded, "Thanks but I think I should probably tell him."
Thalia took a deep breath and picked up her phone. She dialed Luke's number, knowing he'd know it was serious if she called him rather than texted him.
"Thals?" Luke answered.
"Hey." she replied. She realized she was slightly choked up.
"Are you crying?" he asked. He sounded concerned. She didn't want to break the news to him, he had just started dating someone and this would definitely ruin everything for him.
"No, I'm fine." she lied.
"Then why did you call?" Luke asked. She knew he could see through her lie.
"I think we need to talk." Thalia replied.
"Do you want to meet up for pizza or something?"
"Umm, I think it's better if you came over." she admitted truthfully.
"Ok, I'll be there in ten." Luke replied. The line clicked and Thalia sighed. How the hell was she going to tell him that she was pregnant with his child. She was going to ruin everything for him.
