Annabeth

Three months later my worst fear came true. I was sitting at when desk with my head in my hands after receiving the life changing call from the doctor when I heard a knock on my office door.

"Come in." I called hoarsely.

"Hey." It was Samantha. I never got a chance to apologize to her about that night. She actually made my life ten times better. But now I'm afraid I'm gonna loose it. "Are you okay?" She asked when she saw my face.

I shook my head and I felt myself break down. I laid my head down on my desk as I tried to conceal my tears.

"Annabeth!" Samantha exclaimed rushing over to me. She pulled me into a hug as I cried and cried. "Annabeth, what's wrong?"

Well this might be hard to believe but after Percy and I got into a heated argument, complete with me throwing the T.V remote at him, I finally agreed to go to a therapist. I thought it was kinda obvious that every one would know seeing I was leaving earlier from work every Monday,Wednesday, and Friday. Apparently everyone didn't participate in gossip. But at this point I was to upset to be sensible, I snapped and I broke.

"What do you think is wrong? My life went from great to awful just from one damn phone call!" I screamed and she flinched away from me and I instantly felt bad.

"Annabeth just calm down." She said laying her hand on my arm and squeezed.

"I can't calm down! I'm pregnant! Pregnant!"

"Well that's great. Won't Percy be happy?"

I didn't respond until I had calmed down and was breathing normally. I couldn't believe how naive she was being right now. Didn't she have two kids? Im pretty sure she knew how to make a baby.

"Percy and I only have done that once since we've been back together, and we used protection."

"Oh." She whispered.

"Ya... Oh." I responded.

"What are you gonna do?" She asked, which really wasn't the question I wanted to hear right now because honestly I had no idea.

"I'm just taking it one step at a time Sam. All I know right now is what I'm gonna do today."

I just hoped this 'task' wouldn't end my relationship.


I walked next to the security guard to a scene I had seen several times on movies and telivison shows. The glass walls and the phones had people talking. Orange stood out in the boring gray room with the grumpy looking guards standing by. The guard nodded towards a seat and I thanked him. I waited a few minutes before I saw a familiar man in an orange jumpsuit coming down the hall. When he sat down he wouldn't meet my eye. I picked up the phone and put it to my ear while he did the same.

"Did you come hear to shame me? Because trust me I've heard it all. From my mom,dad, brother, sister, and my kids. I don't need it from you, Annabeth. I already know!"

"You have kids?" I asked calmly. He looked up at me sadly and shrugged.

"A boy and a girl."

"How old are they? How old are you?"

"I'm 32. My son, Jake is 16 and my daughter, Marina is 13. Their mom passed away about 3 years ago."

I offered a little smile. I didn't know why I was being so nice to him- I had planned to come here a yell and scream and most likely be asked to leave. Yet, here I was sympathizing him. I just kept surprising myself.

"Did you love her. There mom?"

He stared at me for a second his eyes darkening. "Why did you come here Annabeth?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm pregnant."

His eyebrows arched high and he puckered his lips." Its mine?"

"I'm pretty sure." I said truthfully and I almost started crying when I thought of Percy and how he was going to react. I knew he would say he would stay with me and this baby would be his just as much as mine but I wonder what he would actually be thinking in his head.

"Well that's just great." He buried his head in his hands. "Rachel's pregnant too you know. This is just fabulous."

HELL NO!

It was happening AGAIN!

"That's all I wanted to say." I said and started to stand up but still held the phone. "And I think I would like to meet your kids."

"If your asking for my permission, go ahead I can't stop you."

"I wasn't."


Ya I know it was short and it sucked...so sorry. I will try to update Friday or Saturday but its not likely. Tomorrow I'm going to meet Chris Colfer! He wrote these books I like and my step mom got me tickets so it should be cool. And I also start school on July 27th so my updates with get even MORE infrequent.

Reveiw and tell me I suck!

Thanks!
