Annabeth stared at the Percy's number on her phone screen.
Ring him now! She silently ordered herself. Her thumb hovered over the dial button. Ring him! She chewed her lip and furrowed her brow, tears anew in her stormy grey eyes.
Absent mindedly, she pressed dial.
Percy answered on the third ring and he was laughing. His cheery laugh lifted her spirits slightly.
"Hey, Annabeth. What's up?"
"Have you had sugar?"
"Me and Lou are on a chocolate binge at the mo. Why?"
"Just wandering. Um… could you get over here as soon as possible? I really need to talk to you."
"Err…"
"Please, Percy?"
"Are you crying?"
"It's… allergies." She lied. Damn it! She scolded herself.
"Na-uh, liar. You're crying. I'm coming over. Be there in ten." He hung up. He would be here in ten minutes… oh gods; his head's definitely full of kelp. Annabeth had to get ready and pronto.
When Percy knocked ten minutes later, he was exploding with energy and had a hyper, bright sea green aura. He nearly knocked her off her feet just greeting her. "Heeyy, Wise-girl!" He grinned, tackling her with a hug.
"H-hi to you too, Seaweed Brain. How much sugar have you had?" Percy held her at arm's length. He was practically bouncing, he was so hyped up.
"You wait 'til Lou gets here. She said she might drop by later. Oh and er… not sure. We've had a lot of chocolate since…" Percy thought for a minute with wide eyes and a goofy smile. "Since we got up." He settled with.
"How come you haven't been sick then?"
"Dunno. Anyway, what'd you wanna talk to me about?"
"Yeah, you're really hyper."
"Thanks." His grin turned cocky. He still held her in his arms, which she didn't mind. "Wise-girl, talk!" He shook her gently, before pulling her into a hug.
"Percy, I can't take you seriously when you're hyper." She mumbled into his chest.
"Meh." She giggled feebly, turning her head to look up at him. His grin was now half-cocky, half-goofy, but it was slowly turning goofier.
"Alright…" She took several deep breaths before telling him, her eyes welling up. "I'm pregnant."
