Chapter 2

"TODAY?" I yelled, getting everyone's attention. I glared at Jason, causing him to flinch. Huh. The guy can face a giant without his memory, and yet, he cowers at his angry wife. I like that.

He nodded shakily. "Yeah, today."

I glanced over at Thalia's tree. "Jason freaking Grace," I said, my voice deadly calm. "I suggest you run if you want to have anymore kids with me."

"I'm sorry— wait! Anymore?" Jason demanded.

Crappity crap, crap.

Annabeth's eyes widened, and we shared a nervous glance.

"Is there something you want to tell us, Piper?" Thalia asked impatiently.

I panicked. "Did you know that Cleveland used to be spelled with an A?" I blurted. "Yeah, it was named for the founder of the city, Moses Cleaveland!"

"Changing the subject," Leo sang. I shot him my best death glare.

"Piper," Jason said softly. "Just tell me."

I sighed, plopping down on the ground. "Fine," I said in defeat. "I'm pregnant. Happy?" Jason's mouth dropped open, his eyes bugged out. "Jason?" I waved my hand in front of his face. "Jason?"

"Great," a familiar annoying voice said. "What'd you do this time, McLean?" I turned around and saw Reyna standing up against Thalia's tree. She smirked at me, walking towards us.

"None of your business, Hassinger. And it's Grace, not McLean." I spat.

The daughter of Apollo rolled her eyes, walking up to Jason. "Jason," she said in a sickeningly sweet voice. "I'm making chocolate chip pancakes."

"Awesome!" Jason exclaimed, snapping out of it. "I'll take a dozen!"

Reyna smirked smugly at me. "So tell me, Pipes," she said. "What'd you do to Jason this time?"

Now it was my turn to smirk. "Oh nothing, really," I said coolly. "Just that I was carrying his child. Oh, my bad. Our child. Jason and Piper Grace's child."

She scrunched her nose in disgust. "You got knocked up not even a month after your wedding? Hm, that just proves my theory that you are a slut."

"Why I oughta—" Jason and Percy grabbed my arms, stopping me from socking Reyna in the face right then and there.

"You oughta what, McLean?"

"I oughta wipe that little smirk off your face with Katoptris!" I shrieked.

"Piper dear," Jason soothed. "Calm down."

"No," I snapped. "I want to kill that little b—"

"Did I mention that I was pregnant too?" Annabeth interrupted.

Percy's jaw dropped, and he let go of my arm. "Y-y-you a-are?" he stuttered.

Annabeth nodded. "And it's not a brain child, like me. It's a real pregnancy." she said softly.

Percy grinned, before sweeping her into a big hug and giving her a kiss. "We're gonna have a kid!" he said excitedly. "I'm gonna be a dad!"

"You already are a dad, Seaweed Brain. The baby's alive, you know. Besides, demigod pregnancies usually last about three to four months." Annabeth corrected, a big smile on her face.

"I blame you," I muttered to Reyna.

"For what?" she asked innocently.

"For ruining our," I motioned to Jason and I. "Moment!"

"Jason was doing a perfectly good job of that on his own, Pipes." Reyna pointed out. She smiled. "How about we call a truce? Friends?"

"F-friends?" I sputtered. "You hate me remember? And I hate you!"

"Maybe it's time to bury the hatchet." she said quietly.

Jason nudged me, nodding. I sighed in defeat. "Fine. Friends," I said, spitting out each word as if they were a disease.

Reyna smiled. "Friends,"

Third Person P.O.V.

"Friends," Reyna agreed, smiling. 'For now.' she thought.
