~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~
I woke up feeling sick to my stomach with a sticky note stuck to my forehead. I pulled it off and read it:
Annabeth,
I went running. I'll be back around 9.
Love you!
-Percy
I giggled. I was really happy he decided to go running this morning. He hadn't been running since we moved into this house.
I suddenly had a heavy wave of nausea hit me and I threw back the blankets and ran into the bathroom to empty the contents of my stomach.
Once that was done I walked down into the kitchen to eat some breakfast. I made myself some cereal and sat down at the bar. I looked over at the calendar I had hung above the phone. Today was laundry day. Ugh.
Then I noticed something. There was a small red X in the corner of last Friday's box…
Oh God. I dropped my spoon into my bowl and lunged for the phone. I immediately started dialing Thalia's number.
"Hello? Why the fuck are you calling me this early?" I heard Thalia answer. She was so not a morning person.
I looked over at the clock. "It's 8 you big baby. You need to wake up anyways."
She sighed. "Well, tell me why the fuck you called me at 8 in the fucking morning!" She practically growled.
"Geez! Watch the language!"
"TELL ME."
"God! Okay," I took a deep breath and said, "I think I'm pregnant…"
Silence. That's all I heard. Then she sighed. "Well, have you taken a test?"
"Not yet. I just noticed that I'm a week behind in my period and I'm usually really consistent. And the last few days I woke up feeling like I was about to be sick and this morning I actually was. Plus my-"
"Okay, slow down. You've already passed the point of TMI" Thalia said.
"I'm freaking out! You know how I get when I freak out!" I yelled.
"Take a deep breath and I'll be over there as soon as I can, okay?" She asked me.
I nodded and then realized she couldn't see me. "Okay."
"Calm down." And with that, she hung up.
I took a deep breath and went up to Percy and I's room. Once I was up there, I went to get dressed since I'm pretty sure Thalia wouldn't want to see me in just my panties and one of Percy's old shirts.
As I finished brushing my teeth, I heard the doorbell ring. I ran downstairs and unlocked the front door. Thalia came in and hugged me.
"I just want you to know that if you are pregnant, I will be here for you, okay?" I just looked at her. She laughed.
Then I heard barking coming from the back door. "Crap!" I ran over to the back door and let in Roxie, my Husky, and Ace, Percy's Aussie. They were both puppies and really big handfuls. They slept out in the backyard because if we left them alone, they'd chew everything. We found that out after I came home to find my silver heels, Percy's favorite pair, in each of the dogs' mouths.
To say I was mad was an understatement.
I walked into the kitchen and dished out each puppy their food. I laughed as Ace immediately started munching on his while Roxie waited for me to stop looking at her to eat.
I walked out into the living room to find Thalia watching Dirty Dancing on HBO.
"Wow that is an OLD movie." I said sitting down next to her.
"I know, right? Oh well, we might want to get on the move. It's 8:27 now. If we want to get this done before Percy gets home, we should leave now." Thalia said.
"But Walgreen's is just around the corner." I said. She shrugged.
"You're a procrastinator though. You probably won't take the test until the last minute. However, you will be freaking out before and after the test so I'm making you take them as soon as we get back. Plus, it's right around the corner so you don't even need to put he dogs out." She said, stood up and yanked me out of my seat. "Your car or mine?" She asked.
"Yours."
Ten minutes later, I took 3 tests and now Thalia and I were sitting in the living room and I couldn't stop thinking about the tests in the sink of the bathroom.
"Has it been 5 minutes yet?" I asked from my position on the floor with Roxie and Ace wrestling in front of me.
"Annabeth, 5 minutes will be over when your phone goes off. CALM DOWN." I heard Thalia tell me from her position on the couch. I glanced down at my watch.
8:40. I sighed. I took the tests at 8:38. It had been 2 minutes.
I tried to relax a little so I sat back and tried to watch Dirty Dancing. I guess it worked because next thing I knew my phone was screaming at me. I jumped up so fast I scared my puppies and took off for the bathroom. I ran over to the sink and looked down.
2 lines. On all three.
Positive.
I was pregnant.
I really quick picked up all the tests and threw them in the trash then ran back out to Thalia.
"What was it?" She asked.
"I'm pregnant." I said, my eyes tearing up.
"What?"
I gasped, and turned to see Percy staring at me from the garage door. He was all sweaty from his run and had his shirt tucked into a pocket in his basketball shorts.
I felt a tear run down my cheek. I didn't want him to hear me! I was about to run upstairs when suddenly strong arms wrapped around my waist and my feet weren't on the ground. I could feel Percys smile against my neck. He set me down then bent down to where he looked me in the eyes.
"You're pregnant?" He asked.
I nodded and another tear slipped from my eye. He caught it on his thumb and wiped it away. He put his hands on my neck. "I'm not upset. Why are you crying?" he asked. Then a frown graced his face. "Aren't you happy about this?"
I choked on a laugh. "Of course I am! I was so afraid that you wouldn't be happy, since I don't really think this is the best time to have a baby. I mean, we're just getting our careers on track and we have the puppies and-"
He interrupted me, "Hey, Wise Girl, we can do it. I know how much being pregnant scares you, but we can do it. I will help you through it. Now, please smile." He said, his usual smile coming back.
I smiled and jumped into him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and caught his lips in a kiss.
We broke apart about a minute later and I glanced at the couch. Thalia was gone and a note was in her place. I walked over and read it:
You 2 were getting a little too lovey dovey for me so I bailed. Plus I kind of felt as if I were intruding. Now, go celebrate with your hubbie and we can celebrate a little later.
Love,
T
Percy and I laughed. He wrapped my arms around my waist and settled his hand on my tummy. "It's Castiel in there, I just know it," he mumbled against my neck.
I laughed. "You need to take a shower sweaty." I said, looking over at him.
He laughed. "Not without you." He picked me up bridal style and started up the stairs toward our room.
"Eep! Percy!" I squealed. He laughed and kept going.
And, once again, we had mind blowing shower sex.
The end! Whacha think? PLEASE REVIEW~
