Alright guys (who read this) this is the deal. I have three days off. That doesn't happen often. It's also raining for the next week and I don't have enough money to go do anything fun until Friday, so, I'm going to attempt to update this, wrap up Good Christian Boy, and then quite possibly put up the next "big" story. I hope it all goes according to plan.

Percy's POV

…

Classes were boring, which was saying something. It was sad when the best part of my day was when I went back to the dorm to a plate of snacks and a little note from Nico, wishing me well. I still didn't know if he truly liked me or not, but I wasn't going to dwell on it now. Today's treats were chocolate chip cookies, and I honestly didn't know how he found an oven to bake with, since they were clearly homemade and still warm. The note was silly, just saying he already missed me and to enjoy my treats. I settled down on my bed, my homework spread out in front of me. Classes were done for today, thank god. I'd go crazy if I had anything else.

"You're not Nico." I looked up, shocked to see Will standing in our doorway, arms crossed. "He said he'd be here after his class got off. He did not, however, mention you."

"I kind of live here," I shot back. Maybe Nico liked him, but I didn't care. He had no reason to be rude to me. "Can't you guys fool around at Ka-Pow? Why here?"

"Because he has, debatably, more privacy than I do there," Will said. "So get out. I don't care where you go, just get out." I glanced down, then began gathering my things. Why bother fighting? Nico entered then, glancing back and forth between the two of us. "You never mentioned him," Will spat, pointing at me.

"I didn't?" Nico asked, feigning innocence. After all, I never went anywhere else. "Where are you going Perce?" he asked, pointing to my backpack of things. "You need to relax. How are your cookies?" I couldn't help but smile. Maybe he did care, maybe he didn't. "I had to beg Jay to let me use the oven, but he did, eventually." Nico grabbed a soda out of our fridge. I watched him with slight interest. I figured he'd be more interested in Will, who was still glaring daggers at me. Nico helped himself to a cookie, noisily taking a bite. "You outta try these," he said to Will.

"You made them?" the blonde asked. Nico nodded. I'll admit, they weren't my favorite things ever, those would be my mom's. But, it was the thought that counted, so I loved them anyway. Will helped himself to a handful, and I frowned. They were going to eat my entire plate of treats. Nico seemed to notice, however, because he took the plate and set it on my bed, waiting for me to float back over (since I'd moved towards the door during the conversation). "Are you going to get lost already?" Will asked.

"Hey, back off," Nico snapped. "It's his room too." Funny how they talked about me like I wasn't even here. I sighed. Maybe I should just go and do something else. "Come on Perce, come sit," he said, patting my bed. "And you," he said, turning to Will, who just smirked. That stopped him. "Whatever," he muttered, glancing away. Though he looked flustered. I approached my bed carefully. What if he changed his mind and made me leave anyway. I rested a hand on my flat stomach, finding strange comfort from the action. Even if Nico didn't like me, and Will almost loathed me, at least my baby loved me. "What's wrong?" Nico asked, sitting beside me.

"You know," I said simply, glancing down. I felt his eyes on me, but I refused to look up. I heard the bed groan as Will joined us for some unknown reason. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I was enjoying my time alone. Why did they both have to ruin it?

"Oh, let's just ignore him," Will said. I risked a glanced up, and immediately wished I hadn't. Will had Nico pinned to the wall. "We can still have fun." The funny thing was Nico was blushing, and also looking flustered. He hadn't said no, however, which was the final straw from me. I rose, gathered my things, and bolted before they could say anything. I decided I'd go to Starbucks and get a latte and maybe some cannoli and work on homework. It sounded fun to me.

"Hey, Percy!" I glanced up. It was that blonde kid, Jason, followed by someone who looked nothing like him. But I could only assume it was his dad, since he watched Jason's actions with a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. "Where's Nico? Leo and I wanted to invite him over for a party." I shrugged.

"Probably getting freaky with Will on my bed," I said at last. Jason gave me the most amazing confused look. Yeah, I wouldn't have believed that either. But, considering where I'd left them, I wouldn't put it past them. Or Will. He seemed to be the one running the show. "You'll find him in the dorm anyway," I said, moving off.

"You can come too if you want!" Jason called over his shoulder as he dashed away. I glanced back. His father was following him again. So was this what it was like having your dad as a dean? I wasn't sure how I felt about that. I didn't think I'd like it much. I eventually found my way to the Starbucks on campus. I set my stuff on a table by the window, then went up and ordered myself a vanilla latte and a cannoli. I brought the cup and the plate back to my table, sitting down with both. I took a fork to the cannoli, sighing in pleasure. I sure hoped the little one liked sweets, because mommy sure did.

I didn't have a lot of homework today, so I finished it rather quickly. I did sit there for awhile, sipping my latte. I didn't quite know what to do. I mean, sure, I could get another sweet, or possibly a sandwich, but I was starting to get a stomach ache. I didn't want to upset my stomach, since I still had morning sickness. So, I just sat at my little table, staring off into space and wondering.

What would my little one look like? I hope it looked a little like me, whatever gender it turned out to be. I was kind of hoping for a girl, because what dad doesn't want a little princess? But, at the same time, I kind of wanted a boy. I guess I didn't care what gender it was. I couldn't wait until it was formed enough to tell what gender it actually was. I wondered what it looked like now. I hoped it was doing okay. I hope my unease didn't translate to it yet. The last thing I wanted to do was upset my baby.

"Can I get you anything else sweetie?" I glanced over. An older lady, who I'd noticed entering earlier, was standing at the counter, smiling at me. I smiled back, shaking my head.

"No thank you ma'am," I said, shifting in the hard plastic seat. Maybe I should've brought my pillow with me, like I did at the doctor's office. Oh well. I pulled out One Man Guy. I hadn't read in awhile, mostly because classes were keeping me a lot busier than I'd expected. I guess now was a good a time as any to do some light reading.

Nico's POV

…

"Have I ever mentioned how incredible you really are?" Will whispered in my ear, tracing patterns on my bare back. I shivered. I don't exactly remember how I ended up in this situation, but god was I glad. It had been a long time since Will and I had fooled around. Yes, I know we were supposed to be separate. After all, neither of us were really interested in commitment. We both liked to hit and run. Maybe this is why we still did things like this. What? Two sexually active boys could only keep it in so long.

Strangely, or maybe not at this point, my thoughts wandered to Percy. If I ever did decide to settle down, it would be with someone like him. I didn't want a playboy partier like Will. I wanted someone who was quiet and somewhat shy and thoughtful. I wondered how he was doing since we pretty much kicked him out, which, admittedly, made me feel a little guilty. After all, I'd told Will off, only to ignore my own advice for Will's advances. The blonde wasn't the best influence on me, I knew that. But, sometimes, I just wanted to indulge a little.

We were just dozing off when I heard the door open and close softly. I blinked, lifting my head off my pillow a little. Will stirred, but he was out for the time being. Percy entered quietly, setting his stuff on the desk and discarding his shoes by the door. He took notice of the empty plate, and that really did make me feel guilty. I'd spent forever making those for him, and Will and I had eaten most of them. Tomorrow I was going to go to Starbucks and get him treats instead. He once told me he liked cannoli. So, that's what I'd get.

"Percy?" I asked, and he froze. Then he realized it was I who was talking, and he relaxed a little. But only for a second. He knelt by his trashcan and threw up. "Oh, poor baby," I said, untangling myself from Will's grasp and kneeling beside him. I rubbed his back. "Morning sickness again?" I asked quietly.

"Uh huh," he said, sounding and looking miserably. Who knows how many times he'd stopped to throw up on the way back from…wherever he'd been. "Just leave me be, okay? I just need…" He crawled onto his bed, snuggling up under the covers in his clothes. I tisked, going over to his dresser. I rooted around until I found pajama pants for him. I went over his to his bed, gazing down at his impossibly adorable sleeping figure. Out like a light already. I chuckled as I undressed and redressed him in his pajamas, gently tucking the blanket back around him. He curled up into a tiny ball. I smiled, running my fingers through his hair. I then tugged on pants, because running around in just my boxers was going to be hard to explain when he finally woke up.

"So you do care?" I turned to Will, who was sitting up in my bed now, arms crossed. "Why would you lie to me? It's not like I care if you actually like the freshie. I just thought you were bitching because they stuck you with him in the first place, that's all." Maybe at the start I hadn't been that enthused with the idea. But Percy quickly grew on me. "I'm going to leave now," Will said, tugging on his jeans. "I'll see you tomorrow at the party." Right. The party. Jason had interrupted our…play time, so to speak…to invite me to a party at Ka-Pow! Not that I wouldn't go. I would, if anything to see Leo and Jason, two of my favorite people here. I glanced over at Percy's bed. My other favorite was right here.

Percy thrashed his blanket off just then. I picked it off the ground, studying him for a moment. He rolled onto his other side, wrapping his arms around himself. Aww. Tired little thing. I wrapped his blanket around him again, then picked up the lil' sushi roll Percy. I carried him over to my bed, setting him on my bed. I crawled in and settled beside him, wrapping my arms around him. He made a little noise, burying his face in my chest. I smiled to myself. He really was adorable when he was like this. Which was every night we slept in the same bed.

"Sleep tight lil' sushi roll," I whispered. He made another noise, snuggling in. I almost didn't need my own blanket. He was warm enough for both of us. I wasn't tired, so I let my thoughts wander. I wondered what the baby would look like when it was born. I hoped it was a little mix of both of us, so I wouldn't actually have to explain that I was the dad. Though I would do that. Soon. I had to. Percy couldn't go on wondering who the father of his child was. Also, I was hoping for a girl. I wanted my little princess. What guy didn't, eventually?

I almost sat up when I realized what this all meant. If I really did step up as the father and have the baby with Percy, then no more partying every weekend. No more late night jaunts with Will or some other random boy from Ka-Pow! A lot less social life in general.

Oddly enough, I was okay with that.

Yay, I actually got this update done! I'm so happy!
