Chapter 3

As I got out of the water I saw Kap Supa and his news crew packing up . I tried to keep my head down but Kap saw me none the less.

"Hey! Percy! I was wondering if I could get an exclusive with you. You know so you can share your traumatic experience. It'll be huge! Trust me you'll have instant fame. You could probably even write a book So what do you say?"

"Oh no thank you." I said it as politely as I could. I did't want to be reported on as a dangerous criminal!

"Now listen to me sonny. You want this!" Kap said a little more forcefully.

"I said no." I said still polite but definitely on the brink of breaking!

"Do it! I'll pay you and..." Kap said litterally begging We had reached my car and I didn't want to listen to this guy jabbering on and on.

"Buzz off!" I yelled I got in my car slammed the door and sped off. I turned the radio on to my favorite station only to hear Kap yelling about how I was dangerous and to keep your kids in at night and to not walk the streets alone. Oh my Gods do they ever leave me alone.

"Shut up Kap!" I yelled as I turned off the radio. Finally I pulled in to my house Only to be filled with worry at the sight of it. What if Annabeth didn't forgive me for leaving her? Oh no. I silently walked in. Maybe she hadn't even noticed I was gone. As soon as I walked in I saw her reading a magazine on the couch. She looked really bored!

"Ummmm Annabeth? I'm not insulting you or anything but why is your magazine upside down?"

"She looked up startled then looked at her magazine realizing I was right."Oh I just wanted to challenge myself by seeing if I could read it upside down. Any its you we should be worried about! All over the news.!"

"How did you know?" I asked puzzled.

"Oh my Gods Seaweed Brain we have a TV." Annabeth said and then I realized she was right. I had picked it out myself.

"Listen Annabeth. I'm so sorry I walked out on you like that I just wasn't expecting you to say that and..." I didn't know what to say nothing could ever make up for what I did. It would be lucky if I just got away with being stabbed with a fork. She looked like she was thinking a lot that wasn't a good sign. She was probably thinking of what to say when she was yelling at me.

"Listen Percy I'm just glad your back."I gaped at her. I couldn't believe she forgave me so easily. I think she noticed because she was staring at me quizzically. I couldn't stand it anymore i ran over and gave her a hug. I probably hugged her too hard because her breathing was becoming labored.

"I guess that means your happy about the baby?" What how could I not be? How could she even think for a second that I wasn't?

"Of course!"I knew I would love this baby more then anything. My mind had started to wander. What was the baby going to look like Boy or girl. I hope it had Annabeth's eyes. Dang my ADHD!

"Oh my Gods! Good! There is so much we have to plan for! But first and most important there is a question I have to ask you." Oh Gods! Was she going to ask me what I thought she was going to ask me? The unthinkable. Definitely, she was going to ask me if I could tell our parents! Our godly parent. Oh Gods Athena would blast me to bits. Before I could continue this lovely thought process she said "Can I design the baby's room?" Oh thank the Gods I could breathe again!

"Of course! I wouldn't have it any other way!" Wow! Life couldn't get better I had the girl, I had the kid, and I didn't have to tell the parents (for now). Life was good.
