Chapter 4: Telling Heidi Pt 1

A/N: Enjoy the newly updated chapter four, part one!

(Percy's POV)

Telling Heidi was not exactly the easiest thing to do. She suddenly hated Annabeth, and Annabeth wasn't too fond of Heidi, either. But I knew we had to…after all, it had been two weeks since Annabeth had agreed to be the surrogate.

I walked over to Annabeth's place and knocked on the door. I waited, and knocked again. A very grumpy Thalia answered the door. Her hair was a mess, eyeliner was smudged down her face, and she had a scowl that seemed as if it fit there. Well, not seemed. It did. "Hi, Thalia."

She gave me the world's best bitch face, and I couldn't help but grin. "What the hell Percy, I was asleep!"

I smiled when I saw Annabeth run out behind Thalia and come over to the door. "Hey Percy," she said.

"Hi, Annabeth. Are you ready?" I asked her.

She nodded. "As I'll ever be,"

Thalia suddenly was awake and smiled. "Can I come? I want to see the look on her face. Please? Please?" She asked.

I smiled at her. "Okay, just get dressed. And wipe the makeup off your face."

(Annabeth POV)

I invited Percy in to sit down as Thalia was getting ready. I looked over at Thalia, who was walking away and back at Percy.

"So, how's everything?" I asked him.

"Okay," he smiled. "But I wish you were around more often." I smiled back at him. "Oh, and Thalia." My smile dropped. Really?

"Oh, yeah. She's a lot to handle, though. Life of the party, that girl. Right after Travis and Connor, of course." I said, half sarcastically, and half awkwardly as we both gave half hearted laughs.

I couldn't help but feel a bit of butterflies in my stomach. He could always to that to me. Make me nervous, I mean.

"Yeah. Have you heard from Connor lately?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, he left his kid at camp and asked Rachel to call me, but I was busy."

"Oh," and suddenly Percy didn't know what to say.

Thalia came out of the bathroom with combed hair and her eyeliner off her cheek.

I guess it's time to tell Heidi.

(Thalia's POV)

I did as Percy asked, and we were walking down the street shortly. Annabeth looked nervous, to which I said, "Calm down, Annie. It's not like she's going to kill you." Annabeth just glared. "Oh, right." I said. "She hates you!"

Percy shook his head and rolled his eyes. "Heidi doesn't hate anybody…"

-:-

"I HATE YOU!" Heidi screamed as she chucked a water bottle at Annabeth, who dodged it, sending it flying into me.

"WHAT?" I asked. "You wanna tussle?" I rolled up my long, black sleeves and said, "'Cause I'll tussle!"

Percy looked at Heidi and all but screamed, "STOP IT!"

The three of us girls dropped whatever they were holding, and looked at Percy.

Heidi sighed. "What, Percy? Do you really want me to accept that Annabeth is going to be the surrogate? Because I don't want that, Percy." She crossed her arms.

I smirked. "You just don't want her to be Percy's Baby Momma," I laughed.

Annabeth glared at me. "Thals. I'm not anybody's "Baby Momma." That sounds like I'm a prostitute or something."

Heidi sneered. "By the way you attract men, I'd think that you were one."

Percy had enough. "Heidi! Quit it! Annabeth is my friend. She doesn't deserve to be spoken to like that! And Thalia, really? Baby Momma? That's a bit immature, don't you think?"

I sighed. "I thought it was funny."

Percy smiled. So there was still a bit of immaturity in him, after all.

Heidi shook her head and said, "I don't want her, Percy. Any girl but Annabeth."

Percy looked at Annabeth and me and turned back to Heidi.

"Oh yeah? It's either Annabeth or Thalia. You pick."

Heidi looked between us two girls. "You mean the Goth Punk girl or the little Miss Know It All?"

"Thalia or Annabeth," Percy said, correcting her on our names. We weren't just any people. We were his best friends.

"Well, Thalia would scare the kid into going right back inside of her." I rolled my eyes.

"So, Annabeth?" Percy asked her, looking her in the eyes.

"Are they my only choices?" she asked.

He nodded. "Yes, Heidi. I don't trust any two girls more."

I grabbed his arm and pulled him aside. "Percy!" I whispered fiercely in his ear. "What are you doing?"

"Relax," He whispered back, though in a much calmer voice. "Heidi wouldn't pick you. She doesn't like the music you listen to, the way you look, or even just…well, you."

I grinned. "You're right." I punched him on the shoulder in a friendly way, and we walked back to the two girls, glaring daggers at each other.

"So, who do you chose?" Percy asked, again.

Heidi uncrossed her arms and set them on her hips. "Thalia."

A/N: I didn't fix this one up too much, but I hope you liked it!

I love feedback almost as much as Aphrodite loves love!
