Percy turned over another page of the newspaper—the comics—and his eyes glazed over as he tried to concentrate on what was in front of him. Annabeth had excused herself from breakfast over twenty minutes ago to go to the bathroom and she still hadn't come back yet.
Finally, he heard the sink turn on. There was the sound of running water for a few seconds more before he heard a strangled scream coming from behind the door.
"Annabeth!" He jumped from the table, knocking over his cereal, and sprinted over to the bathroom. He groped at the handle, trying to open it, but it wouldn't budge.
"It's locked!"
He heard her panting a little inside. "Oh my gods...P-Percy."
Her voice was a strangled whisper. He violently tugged at the handle again. "Is it a spider?! Just hold on!"
He backed up, about to slam himself into the door when she yelled, "No! I'm fine...it's just...oh my gods...hold on."
Percy heard her unlock the door, and it slowly swung open. Her eyes were wide and full of tears, and her right hand was clenched in a fist. But she was smiling.
"Annabeth, please tell me what's going on," Percy begged. "You're giving me a heart attack."
A tear fell down her cheek as she lifted up her hand and showed him what she was holding.
"Percy," she laughed. "I'm pregnant."
So sorry for the huge break you guys. College is nothing like Middle or High School. The minute I started class they all dumped homework on me, and I'm also involved in a lot of activities and whatever. Let's just say my life got ten times busier than how it was in the summer, so updating might take a while for all of my stories.
Anyway, I'll see you when I update next!
