Hi! This is my first story, so I hope who ever reads this is enjoys it!

For telling me to write the story, write the side-stories within the stories, and making the title with me credits go to Lauren and Olivia.

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus, but I do own Jade, Peter, Hailey, Tyler, anyone you don't recognize, and the plot-line.

Enjoy!

Annabeth's POV:

I stared at the pink stick in my hands as my mind was running 1,000 miles an hour. "This can't be happening...What the fuck?! We've been so careful...I'm going to kill him!...My mother is going to kill him!" were just a few of my thoughts. Sighing, I set the test on the sink, not wanting to throw it out just yet. I took a deep breath and tried to think happy thoughts, but any positive thought quickly vanished. My mind quickly went to Jade. I tried to imagine what she felt, after all she was only 19 at the time. Her and Peter weren't exactly in a serious relationship at the time - one that seemed to be going no where - so I tried to picture it if it was worse. If I wasn't in a serious relationship with Percy. If I wasn't barely an adult. I sighed and sat down with my head in my hands. "No." I thought, "Don't cry. Don't cry. Please don't cry." Despite my efforts, tears silently slid down my cheeks. Okay, don't get me wrong here, I want kids, but not now. Not when I'm not married. Not when I'm only 21. And especially at Camp Half-Blood. I wanted to live in Manhattan with Percy, in a house of our own, married and with kids. Not when we were still living away from each other 3 out of 4 seasons of the year. I let out a sob "Damn it, damn it, damn it!" I had to come up with a plan. "Just don't think about it." I got up and walked out of the bathroom. I sighed, I was too tired to think about this now despite my nap. I plopped down on Jade's bed. I laid on my stomach trying to sleep for about 5 minutes when I remembered. Sighing, I turned on my side and fell asleep.


Unfortunately, I was woken up when someone had to sit on the edge of my bed and poke me. My eyes fluttered open to see Jade sitting face to face with me. I jumped, yelping. "What the Hades!? Do you have to be so creepy sometimes?!" I mean, I know she's a daughter of Hades, but she wasn't like Nico obsessing over her dead loved ones and shadow-traveling (sneaking) up behind people. She could if she wanted to, but she didn't most of the time. I kinda forgot that yes, she can be creepy as fuck.

"Exactly where I expected you to be..." Jade looked down and grinned creepily at me.

"Shouldn't you be in Connecticut?!" I practically yelled.

She just shrugged, frowning, "Well, yeah, but Peter's still asleep, so I shadow-traveled here." She smiled at me, "Excuse me."

She got up and walked into the bathroom. I heard her squeal, with delight, I think. I sat up as she walked back over, holding my pregnancy test. I sighed, I had forgotten I left it on the sink. I looked down, my hair covering my face, so she wouldn't see me cry.

"Oh my gods! You're pregnant!" She stated excitedly, but frowned when she saw me. She kneeled down in front of me and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. "Oh, Annabeth, you'll be perfectly fine. You and Percy will be such good parents! I know for sure he's not going to abandon you, but whatever you do is up to you. You can't spare his feelings." I glanced at her as tears started pouring down my cheeks. I knew she was right and I knew she had gone through the same exact thing.

"But this isn't how I planned! I planned my entire life because it's so satisfying when everything is exactly as planned! All Athena kids need to have a plan! And this isn't part of the plan!" I yelled at her, guilt and so much regret fueling my emotions.

She sighed, wiping away some of my tears, "Listen, Annabeth, you know I know exactly what you're going through, but you don't realize it. I come from a family that has seen 4 generations of unexpected pregnancies while we were 16-20. It's practically a tradition! I tried all my life to steer clear of boys and stop any chances of me continuing that "tradition," She emphasized tradition with her fingers, "Then I met Peter and I fell in love...and well I got pregnant, Annabeth. The worst part is that every pregnancy resulted in a daughter who was just as reckless as her mother. Every single one. I tried so hard and yet now I'm here praying that when Hailey is older she won't make the same reckless decisions as I did, but I still love her. Understand?"

I nodded, wiping away the last of my tears, "I'm sorry..."

She shrugs, "Sometimes things don't work out the way we planned. Trust me, Annabeth, Percy isn't going to stand around doing nothing. You should tell him."

I nodded again, "I know..."

She smiled and stood up, "You're going to love the kid, by the way. Pain in the ass, but you'll love them. Now, if you'd excuse me. Don't do anything else you think you're going to regret." And with that, she stepped into the shadow of a floor lamp and disappeared.


I was laying in my bed in my rightful cabin, staring at the ceiling. I had tried to read, but that turned out quite difficult. "Boy or girl? What if the baby isn't healthy? What if it's twins? What if it's triplets? What if I end up with three boys? Oh my gods..." My plan to just push it aside until my stomach was noticeable through my shirt clearly wasn't working. No, I didn't tell Percy yet, mostly because he'd drive me crazy with questions too. I kinda hated myself for it, but I couldn't tell him just yet. I tried to come up with another plan for what seemed like hours, but was only minutes because of my Athenian intelligence. Well, it was kind of a plan, kind of not. I mean, I don't think my mother would be proud of me or anything, but at the least - it was something. My biggest issues about being pregnant too early was that A) I wasn't married to Percy and B) We were still living at Camp Half-Blood and C) Percy and I haven't exactly talked a lot about kids. I didn't even know if he wanted them. The first one isn't exactly my thing to decide, but I could fix the camp problem...sorta. The thing with being pregnant in camp is that, well, it's not exactly the most baby friendly place. Exhibit A) Hailey. Hailey was always being babysat by any friend of Jade or Peter all the time. Besides the busy schedule, there's only one person who has delivered a baby in camp - Will Solace. And he vowed to never to never deliver a baby again. Jade had to leave for a hospital to get her kid delivered as safely as possible. Exhibit B) Camp isn't the friendliest to non-babies place either. More people are known to die here than be born here. There's bloodshed, Capture the Flag, weapons, the meals are always loud and will probably make the baby cry. Exhibit C) I had no idea how Chiron and the other campers would react. Jade was fine, no one tried to kill her or anything after claiming she was bad luck. But everyone was on edge when the word got out. Chiron never mentioned it, like, at all. Chiron just acted like it wasn't happening. I figured the best thing I could do for myself was to leave Camp Half-Blood for a while.
