Percy POV three months later:
"Percy, please open the door." Piper and Hazel say from the other side of the door to my apartment. "Percy, PLEASE!" they shout. I force myself to get up and open the door. "What do you want?" I ask them. "Percy you haven't done anything for the last three months but leave for work and come home. We are worried about you." "Worried about me. Don't bother. I am just a lonely grown man who has lost the two most important women in his life. Excluding my mother. Ashley would never come back to me. I don't even know where she is." I tell them. "Percy, please, go to Annabeth. Just try becoming her friend first. Not the boyfriend she thought she would live the rest of her life with." they try to tell me. "I can't do that or her crazy husband will come and attack me again." "Percy, are you seriously afraid of Eric?" "Well, no but I don't think she wants to see me." I try to explain to them. "Who cares. GO to her." Hazel tells me. "Ugh, you are lucky I am your friend." I say as I get up to go fix my hair.
As I am driving to Annabeth's office I realize I need to make a stop at the store. When I walk in I pass the usual section that I never think to look in. As I am walking I decide to look in each one to see if somehow I might find Ashley. When I get to ready to pass the baby section I am about to give up. But then I see her. Leaving the baby section with a box of diapers and some baby outfits. Not only does she have those things with her but she also has a slight baby bump.
"Ashley!" I say as I run up to her. "Go away!" she says to me as she starts walking faster. I Grab her hand to stop her and she turns to me. "When did this happen?" I ask really confused. "Seriously Percy, take a guess? This baby is yours too! Why do you think I wanted to get married so badly? You did this to me!" she screams so loud I am pretty sure the whole state of New York can hear us. "But...we didn't...you know..." I say really confused. "Yes, we did, Percy, we were drunk and acting stupid then on thing led to another..." Oh my gods, no, no, no this can't be happening.Is all I can think. I run out of the store. I get in my car and drive away.
I can't stop thinking that I am going to be a father. I came out today to see Annabeth not think about being a father. I say to myself as I get out of my car and walk into the building. I see Annabeth at her desk and sit down in front of her. "Uh, Percy why are you here? If it is about the house I have already filled you spot with another client." she says to me. "I am not here because of that." I tell her "Um, Percy I don't think think that is a very good-" I cut her off by reaching over the desk and touching my lips to hers. It has been so long since I kissed her and It brings back so many memories. She pushes mw off and screams at me, "What are you thinking!"
"Annabeth just hear me out! Okay? Listen, I originally came today to ask you if we could at least be friends again but then I found out that I am going to be a father. Me and Ashley called off the wedding and broke up three months ago. You know why? Because I still love you! Annabeth Chase, I am still in love with you and nothing can change that. Before you kick me out I just wanted to tell you that and I don't care if I never see you again but I just want that to be the last thing you hear from me." I tell her this and then walk out. Leaving her standing there, dazed.
