AN: Thanks for all the reviews and sorry I haven't updated in ages!

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson. Okay? Good! :)

Chapter Two (A Month Later)

I'm going to have to tell him soon before I start showing. But how do you tell the boy you are avoiding that you are pregnant with his child? I don't think it would be a good idea if I just walked up to him after two months and blurt out that I'm pregnant.

And it's not just him I worried about, what about my dad? Oh god, he's going to be so disappointed in me. I don't care what my step mom, Sue, thinks. And then there's the thought of my mom. Yes, she's dead but would she be angry with me? Maybe, but probably disappointed more than anything.

And then I have to think about Percy. His mom will probably kill him. His dad died years ago so he doesn't have to worry about him but I bet he'd be thinking what I'm thinking; that he'd be disappointing. Maybe I should not tell anyone at all. I could run away. "Yes, Annabeth. You could run away with no money, no place to stay, and no food while you are carrying a baby. Great idea!" the clever part of my brain says and I sigh. I'm going to have to tell him.

This is all I can think about as I walk to school. Today I noticed a small bump that you can only notice if you look closely so I put on a baggy top and hope no one will notice. The first person I see when I get through the school gates is Thalia. I haven't told her Percy is the father. Did you know they're cousins? Wouldn't that make the baby Thalia's cousin, too? I'd think she freak out at first. About Percy being the father, I mean, but she'd just have to deal with it.

"Have you told the daddy yet?" she asks. She asks me the same thing every time I see her.

"Hi to you, too. Oh and no I haven't so stop asking me!" I snap.

"Jeez, Annie. Take a chill pill!" she says and I glare at her.

"One, don't call me Annie and two, I'm not in a mood!" I yell and then put my head in my hands. "I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it," she replies and puts a hand on my shoulder. Trust me when I say Thalia is not a hugging type of person. I guess I was a little shocked that she comforted me when she came with me to the doctors. "But seriously, you need to tell the guy soon."

"Don't you think I know that, Thals?" I say, trying not to get angry again. "I haven't talked to him in ages and when we do talk I don't think he's going to be expecting me to tell him I'm pregnant with his child!"

"I would say you had PMS but in your current situation it won't make sense," Thalia grins.

"Stop teasing me!" I snap and she laughs.

"Hormones!" I glare at her one last time before storming up the steps and into the school. I push the door open and the first thing I see is a group of my friends… by my locker.

I sigh and walk over. I don't greet any of them while I put my books in my locker. Once I'm finished I slam the door shut and turn so my back is leaning against it. I look at the wall opposite me and avoid eye contact with any of my friends. "Don't mind her," Thalia says from beside me. "She's not in a very good mood!"

"PMS!" the boys chant. Why do boys always think that when girls are moody they're on their period?

I bite my bottom lip to stop me from yelling but that doesn't stop my face from turning red with anger. "Are you okay?" Percy asks and my eyes snap in his direction. They meet with his for about two seconds before we both look away.

"I'm fine," I snap and then add… "Thanks."

"Oh my god!" Thalia yells, looking from Percy to me. Dread fills me. She looks at me with her large blue eyes and says, "We need to talk!" She grabs my hand and leads me across the hall. "He's the father." It's not a question.

I look down and she sighs. "Annabeth…" she moans.

"What, Thals? Are you going to tell me I've messed up? 'Coz if you are then don't because I already know!" I yell and then run to my Homeroom, feeling everyone's eyes on me as I go.

Percy

Thalia walks back over and I glare at her accusingly. "What did you say to her now?" I snap and she looks at me… guiltily?

"Maybe you should go talk to her," she says and then walks off.

"Yeah, why are you avoiding eachother anyway?" Nico asks and then all the attentions on me.

"We are not avoiding eachother," I lie and they roll their eyes.

"We're not as dumb as you are, Seaweed Brain," Rachel says in a teasing voice. This bugs me.

"Don't call me that!" I snap.

"Oh, right. Only Annabeth calls you that," Grover speaks up. "You like her don't you?"

I don't answer. I turn around and walk away, barging past students without apologising.

I walk in and find that Annabeth is the only person there besides our teacher. I take a seat next to her and our eyes meet. This time we don't look away. "I-I need to talk to you. Later?" she stutters and I furrow my brow; Annabeth never stutters.

"Okay. Sure," I reply and she looks away.

We don't talk again until the end of school when I find her waiting at her locker. "Hi," I greet as we walk out of school.

"Hey," she replies and we walk in an awkward silence.

"Look about what happened," I finally say, my face heating up. "I'm sorry if you didn't'… like it or whatever. I know we were drunk and all but I don't want to avoid you forever and I really don't regret doing it." She doesn't say anything. "I understand if you regret it. I mean, we're best friends and it's made everything awkward."

Still nothing. My eyes abandon the ground and I look at her face. I'm surprised to see tears in her eyes.

"Hey," I whisper and stop her from walking by putting my hands on her shoulders, turning her to face me. "What's the matter?"

"I don't regret it," she whispers back. "I mean… what I'm trying to say is-" she stops and sighs. "I'm going to just blurt it out."

"Okay," I say and her eyes meet mine.

"I'm pregnant." Whatever she said I didn't hear because a group of kids run past laughing.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you. What?" I ask.

She takes a deep breath and then… "I'm pregnant."
