Chapter 3
Annabeth left her third period class to go to the nurse's office. They apparently needed to give her information on the blood test she did for health class.
"Hey, Annabeth. Sit down."
The nurse handed her a piece of paper with information about her on it, "Here is your blood test results. You came out to be an O positive."
Annabeth looked at the nurse, "Um, there must be a mistake. I can't be an O."
"And why is that dear?"
"My dad is a B blood type and my mom is an AB. There's no way I'm an O positive."
"I'm sorry, honey, but our test results don't lie. You're an O. I might want to double check with your parents about what blood types they are."
"Alright." Annabeth said confusingly, "I guess, I'll ask them."
The nurse smiled, "You're excused Annabeth."
"Thank you", she said as she walked out of the infirmary.
That's strange, she thought, there must be some mistake.
Piper met up with her in the hallway, "Why the expression, Annie?"
"Hey, Pipes. I'm just confused."
"About what?"
"My blood type doesn't match my parents."
"What? There has to be some mistake."
But something in the inside of her mind, Annabeth knew somehow that the tests told the truth.
~o00o~
"What did you say dear?"
Sally was cooking stir fry chicken in the kitchen. There was a cook, but Mrs. Jackson liked kitchen duties— so nobody complained.
"I said my blood tests came out and I'm an O positive."
"What?" Sally turned to her daughter who was sitting at the counter munching on a left over sandwich, "But that can't be. There must be a mistake."
"That's what I told the nurse."
"Well, sweetheart, if it makes you feel better, we can go to the doctor's office to check for sure."
"Alright."
"Check for what?" Percy asked as he walked in.
"Oh, Percy, great, I was just going to call you out for dinner"
"What do you need to check for?" Percy said sitting next to Annabeth at the counter.
"A DNA test." Annabeth said quietly.
"What? Why?"
"I'm an O positive. We just want to make sure."
"That's ridiculous, mom. Of course, Annabeth's—"
"I know, honey, but we have to know what's going on, at least. There's no way Annabeth is a O positive."
A older version of Percy walked in. The man had a slick suit on with a dark green neck tie. Light stubble grazed his jaw and his sea green eyes always exuded a calm radiance. A radiance that Annabeth felt distanced himself a bit from the family.
"Hey, Dad." Annabeth said as she got up and kissed his cheek.
"Hello Sweetheart." Poseidon said back.
"Mom, I'm going to eat in my room. I have to finish a school project."
"Alright, you do that, honey."
"I have a project too." Percy said
"Nice try, mister. You're eating here."
"What? Why does Annabeth get to eat in her room and not me?"
"Because I know Annabeth's telling the truth."
"And I'm not?" Percy said incredulously.
"I'm just more trustworthy." Annabeth laughed as she went upstairs.
~o00o~
Annabeth and Sally were both sitting in the doctor's office.
"The results should take about three days at most, Mrs. Jackson." The doctor said.
"Thank you, Doctor."
He nodded, "You can go now."
Annabeth followed Sally out the office to the car. Sally saw that Annabeth was nervous about the results.
She reached over and squeezed her daughter's arm, "It's going to be alright sweetheart. Of course, you're my daughter."
Annabeth faced her mom, "I hope so."
