Annabeth's POV

I couldn't move and time seemed to stop. She was pregnant. My mom was pregnant.

"I know it's a lot to take in honey and you need time to process this-" My dad was cut off by a loud sob. We both looked at mom, who was sobbing into her hands.

"I knew it! I knew she'd be angry, now she hates me!" She wailed. My father barely flinched at her outburst and mouthed to me

"Hormones." He threw his arm around her and she buried her face into his chest. He stroked her blonde hair and whispered sweet nothings to her.

At that moment I couldn't be happier. The fact that my mom was sobbing her heart out and my dad was consoling her, was like an answer to a prayer! It literally brought tears to my eyes and soon I was just like my mother, crying hysterically. I was so happy! So, so happy! My family's not tearing apart, it's expanding! I felt arms wrap around me and I didn't bother to look up, I already knew who it was.

"I-I thought y-you were getting a d-divorce!" I sobbed into my father's arms. The room stilled and for a moment nothing could be heard but my loud sobs.

"Why would you ever think that?" My mom asked shocked. This was the first time I ever broke down in front of them and I could by the slight waver in her voice that it scared them.

"Y-You guys kept f-fighting!" My dad rubbed my back as my mom cooed

"Oh honey…I'm so sorry! We would never get a divorce, we love each other! We've just been put under a lot of stress this year with the business expanding and now the baby…Oh god I'm a horrible mother! How could I not see it!" She started crying all over again, which made me cry even harder and my dad groaned.

"Oh work with me here! I can't do this all by myself girls-"

"Shut up Fredrick!" My mom snapped and I laughed when he stopped talking. I opened my eyes to see him smiling at my mom, his brown eyes filled with adoration. My mom was too busy crying to see it and even though he knew she couldn't see him, he continued to stare at her anyway. The sight was heartwarming and I snuggled into his arms. He looked back at me with that same look in his eyes and I smiled at him.

It took a while for us to calm my mom down, but half an hour later we were all tear free. My mom blamed her crying on the pregnancy hormones, but judging by the look my dad gave me when she wasn't looking, I could tell that wasn't the only reason. As much as she doesn't want to admit it, my mom would've cried even if she wasn't pregnant. It was hard to believe that she was capable of such emotion, when she had been the hard parent all my life. I always knew she cared, but I didn't know she cared enough to let her guard down and to actually cry in front of me.

"How far along are you?" I asked excited. I've always wondered what it would be like to be a big sister. I imagine it'd be like a mini version of myself or maybe the complete opposite. My dad placed a hand on her belly before saying

"Eight weeks…I remember saying that about you! And then your mother started this huge argument on how it was seven-"

"But who was right?" My mother asked arms crossed.

"You were of course, honey bunny!" He said with a sickly sweet smile, before turning to me and rolling his eyes. I covered my laugh with a cough.

"When did you guys find out?"

"Two weeks ago."

"Two weeks ago?! Why didn't you tell me?" I exclaimed looking mainly at dad, who was avoiding my gaze. He was my partner in crime. Whenever I was in trouble with mom he would always have my back. It's like he had this secret spell that made her calm down when she turned, well…crazy! We usually kept the secrets from mom and now he's turned against me!

"We didn't' know how you'd react-"

"Did it really matter how I'd react! It's not like I'd ask you to get rid of it!"

"That's what I said!" Mom added giving a pointed look at dad.

"I know, but I can't stand to see my baby girl upset!" Just like that, I forgave him. I couldn't stay mad at my dad, no matter how hard I tried. What can I say, I'm a daddy's girl!

"Is that what you guys were arguing about the other night?" I asked thinking back to when I walked in on them screaming in the kitchen. My mom's face flashed with guilt for a second, before she recomposed herself.

"Yes." The room fell silent as I digested this new information. It was hard to believe that just a couple of hours ago I was bawling into the arms of a stranger about my family being torn apart.

"So…what now?" I asked. My dad's eyes lit up and he looked at my mom.

"Let's take her with us!" He suggested. My mom smiled at him and then at me, her grey eyes lighting up too. I stared at them confused.

"I'm sorry, where do you want to take me?"

"We're going to get our fist sonogram today and we want you to come!"

"Of course!" I said jumping off the couch.

"Let's go!"

When we were in the car I couldn't stop smiling. I was about to see my little brother or little sister! Five minutes into the drive and my mom was starting to get antsy.

"I'm hungry!" She grouched. My dad looked at me through the mirror and I shook my head. I'm not getting into this one!

My dad looked away.

"We'll be there in a couple of minutes Athena, just wait."

"Don't tell me what to do!" She snapped. This might be a longer drive than I thought…

Time Skip

"I can't believe it's the size of a raspberry, that's crazy!" I exclaimed for the fifth time. We just got out of the doctor's office and we're on our way home. My mom laughed her face glowing.

"I know Annabeth, it's very hard to belie-"

"When's the due date again?"

"November third, but most likely it will be a bit earlier!" She answered.

We pulled into the drive way and got out the car. We got inside the house and went our separate ways. I went to my room to do homework, mom stayed down stairs and cooked, and my dad was in the dining room working. The separation usually would've annoyed me, but it's different now. I know that in the end we'll always come together.

That night right before I went to bed, I took one last look at the sonogram pictures. It was so tiny, barely there but still there. I smiled before resting it down on my dresser. I checked my phone expecting to see messages from Thalia complaining about her doctor's visit, but oddly enough there was none. I haven't gotten a single text from Thalia today. Weird…

I put my phone down and decided that I'd tell her the news tomorrow. I crawled into bed and drifted off to sleep. While I was asleep I dreamt of something…strange. I dreamt of my family and I walking through a field. We were holding hands and laughing with each other surrounded by a dark, sea green, colored grass. I'd never seen grass that green. The strangest part was the sky. It was completely black.

The contrast between the two were so great that I stopped and stared at the horizon where the two colors met. Then when I looked around I realized that I was alone. My family wasn't holding my hand anymore...and I started to become afraid, when I looked out into the horizon again. Just like that my fears washed away along with all my worries and doubts. I felt loved and safe by, something I couldn't identify. Electricity seemed to course through my veins and I took off running. I laughed because I was happy. I was happily surrounded by the sea green grass and the midnight sky…

I woke up in a daze. I didn't know where I was for a second and I had to blink a few times to adjust my vision. I took the covers off of me and stretched. I checked the time and realized I only had fifteen minutes before Thalia would get here.

I ran to the bathroom and took a quick shower. When I got out I literally threw something on and grabbed my book bag. I checked the time. Eight minutes until Thalia will arrive. I ran downstairs to find my parents sitting at the table. There was already breakfast on the table, which I was abundantly grateful for!

I scarfed down my eggs so fast that I felt a stomach ache already stirring. My parents gave me a funny look, but I ignored it once I heard the car horn beep outside. I waved them goodbye as I left the house. When I got outside I saw Thalia, like always, waiting impatiently in the car. I could see her hand moving to beep the horn again, when I entered the car.

"Finally!" She rolled her eyes, starting the engine. I didn't say anything.

"Nice shirt by the way!" She laughed and I looked down. I was wearing my light blue Hello Kitty shirt, my little cousin bought for me last year. I looked down and much to my relief I was wearing just regular dark blue jeans. Thalia continued to laugh at me, but something was off.

She was laughing a little too hard for something so minor and that was one of her telltale signs that something wasn't right.

"So how was your morning?" I asked watching her. She shrugged her shoulders.

"It was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary." Something was definitely wrong. Thalia was not a morning person and she took every chance she got to complain about her mornings.

I didn't know how to respond to that so I didn't. We didn't talk for rest of the ride and the only thing that could be heard is the loud radio. When we arrived in the school parking lot I saw someone start to approach us. Someone I really didn't need to see!

"Leave us alone Luke." I said trying to sidestep him before he had the chance to speak. He blocked us and I glared at him, but something about him seemed off.

He had the same appearance as always with his slicked back blonde hair, neatly his pressed polo shirt and his blue jeans, but he seemed like less of a…douche bag today! He wasn't looking at us like we were pieces of meat and his blue eyes didn't have that annoying, cocky glint in them.

"Can we talk?" He asked looking behind me. He appeared to be nervous by the way he was holding onto the strap of his book bag.

"Like hell you can-"

"Sure." I heard a low whisper from behind me. I turned around and stared at Thalia.

"Are you serious?" I scoffed. She wouldn't meet my gaze her dark blue eyes trained at the ground.

"You're actually going through with this-"

"I'll be fine Annabeth! Just go to class, I'll catch up with you later!" She said now staring straight at Luke.

Before I had the chance to say anything else they were already walking away. I watched as they walked away side by side and sat on the bleachers. I shook my head. This was insane! He's just gonna hurt her all over again!

I walked into school by myself and headed to my first period class. When I entered I saw that I was the first one there.

"Good morning Mr. Clark!" I greeted him. Mr. Clark was a tall middle aged man with light brown hair and even lighter eyes. He was a strict teacher with very little tolerance for lateness in anything! All work had to be handed in on time or else it would be marked as a zero. He honestly wasn't a mean guy; he was just really strict!

"Good morning Annabeth, how are you?" He asked politely as I put a fake smile on my face.

"I'm good, but I have a little problem…"

"And what is that?" He asked going through a stack of papers.

"I had a little incident on Friday and I had to go to the nurse, so can I please make up the test we took!" I begged. He looked up from the stack of papers and handed me a sheet.

"Here you go." I looked at him shocked. That's it? No speech? No scolding?

Mr. Clark laughs at my expression and says

"I was already informed by the school nurse of the accident! Plus, I can't hold you back from taking a test-"

"But that's what you said when-"

"I only say that to scare the kids into taking it on time! Everyone gets a chance to take it…but don't tell the other kids that!" I nodded my head as other students started to come in. Before the class began Mr. Clark told me to walk across the hall to take the test.

I walked into the other classroom right as the bell rang. The teacher said I could take the in her room and just as I was about to get started when I heard a familiar voice speak

"Hi my names Percy Jackson and…" I looked up to see none other than Percy standing in the front of the room. My heart pounded in my chest at the sight of him. He was wearing a plaid black T-shirt with dark jeans and he looked painfully handsome standing there with his hands in his pocket…looking straight at me. Our eyes locked. Beautiful sea green on boring grey.

I felt my cheeks heat up as I looked away pretending to do work. By now we got the attention of the whole class and I could feel their eyes on me. I heard Percy clear his throat focusing the classes attention back to him.

"And I like to swim?" It was more of a question than a statement and I could hear his silent plea for the teacher to end his misery. I blocked them out as I went back to work.

I was on my fourth question when I heard shuffling next to me. I looked over and the first thing I saw was grass. No not grass, but the grass! When I looked a little higher I saw the pitch black sky. It was the beautiful contrast that haunted my dreams last night and here we were face to face.

"Hey!" Percy breathed smiling. I blink snapping out of my dream or reality…I wasn't quite sure yet.

"Hi."

"I didn't know you were in this class." Percy said taking out a pencil. It took me a while to register what he said, but when I did I said

"Oh I'm not! I'm just here to take a math test!" I said holding up the paper. Percy smiled.

"Oh, so this is the famous math test! Better get a hundred on it for all the hell you put me through!" I playfully rolled my eyes at him and he smirked.

"Ha, ha. You're so funny." I said dryly and he smirked.

"What would be really funny is if you got a ninety-five! 'But where did the other five points go'" He whined in a fake falsetto. I shoved his shoulder as he laughed at me.

"Screw you Jackson." I muttered as I went back to work.

I was just about to finish the second to last question when I heard him chuckle beside me. I snuck a glance at him. His chair was tipped back all the way and he was balancing on a dangerous angle. Judging by his grin I could tell he was having a fun time, tipping it back even further.

"Stop doing that!" I hissed pushing his chair forward.

"But it's fun!"

"I don't think cracking your head open and getting a trip to the emergency room will be so fun, so stop!" Percy smirked at me, but put his chair on the ground.

"Hey have you seen Thalia?" He asked now pretending to take notes. I shook my head.

"No, last time I saw her she was with Luke." I grumbled, spitting his name out bitterly.

"WHAT?" Percy shouted and the whole class looked at us. I glared at him and he gave the teacher an apologetic smile.

"Sorry." The teacher glared at him before going back to teaching.

"What the hell was she doing talking to that asshole?" He whisper screamed. I decided to ignore the cursing as I was thinking the same thing.

"I don't know! He just approached us in the parking lot and asked if he could talk to her."

"And she agreed?! What the hell is wrong with he-"

"Ms. Chase are you almost done with your test!" The teacher asked angrily. I glanced at Percy who was glaring slightly at the teacher.

"I only have one more question." I responded quickly finishing up the last question.

"We'll talk about this more later." I whispered to Percy. I could tell he wanted to say something, but with the teacher watching he kept his mouth shut.

I walked out of the class, ignoring the stares on my way out. I surprisingly didn't want to leave the class. I wanted to go back there and talk with Percy and I found myself excited for third period science.

When second period finally came I waited for Thalia by her locker. I waited and waited until the warning bell signaled. Where was she?

I decided to go to class before I was late and of course the first person I see is Thalia. At this point I'm just plain confused.

"Where were you?" I asked taking my regular seat next to her. When I turned to face her I saw that her eyes seemed a little brighter than before.

"What are you talking about?" She asked and I frowned.

"Your locker? I waited for you, but you never showed up!" Thalia got this far away look in her eyes as she responded

"Sorry, I forgot."

Thalia spent the entire period daydreaming, looking out the window while I busied myself with notes. Nobody addressed the big elephant in the room and with each passing second the animal only grew bigger and bigger.

This chapter focused a lot on Annabeth's family and I promise that next chapter will have more drama! The plans I have for this story will blow your mind and things are going to get crazy! Don't forget to follow, fav and review! I hope you like the new story and…PERCABETH IS AMAZING!

See ya!
