Percy walked into the bedroom, blood soaking his clothes and dripping onto the floor.

He had to find Annabeth. He had to.

"Annabeth!" Percy yelled.

"In the bathroom room!" He heard her yell back.

Percy walked down the hall and opened the bathroom door.

Annabeth was in there, throwing clothes into the washing machine. She turned to look at him, and dropped her laundry basket.

"Percy! What happened?" She asked frantically, grabbing his arm, tears welling in her eyes.

That concerned Percy. Annabeth never cries. Not even when Norwell the Fish died.

"What?" He looked down at his shirt, "Oh! That! It's not mine!" He said.

Annabeth punched him in his arm, tears streaking down her face.

"Annabeth why are you freaking out?" Percy asked. He was almost scared by the way she was acting.

"I thought you were hurt." She sobbed.

"Well, I gathered that much. I've almost cut my arm off before, and you didn't freak out this much."

In fact, she didn't even shed one tear. She just wrapped his shoulder up, and gave him some ambrosia.

"I can't help the hormones..." Annabeth tensed, realizing what she just said.

"Wait, why would you..." Percy trailed off, looking at the trash bin. Usually, around this time of the month, there would be tampon wrappers in there.

But now, the bin was empty, not a single wrapper in there.

"You're late," He said, looking into her eyes.

"Yeah." She said.

"Are you...?" He questioned, biting his lip,

"Yeah. I took a test last tuesday, and it came out positive. I went to my doctor yesterday when you thought I was hanging out with Thalia, Piper, and Hazel. I wanted to be sure before I told you."

Percy just stood there, staring at her. Annabeth shifted from foot to foot.

"Percy, say something." Annabeth said, chewing on her lip.

Percy face slowly broke out into a smile.

"I'm gonna be a dad?"

Annabeth huffed a sigh a relief.

"Yeah."

"And you're gonna be a mom?"

Annabeth smiled. "Yeah."

Percy smiled even more, his smile so big that it looked like his face was going to split in half.

Percy pulled her into a kiss.

"We're going to be parents." He whispered.

"Yeah, we are. Are you scared?"

"Terrified." He said, hugging her. "But I'm more excited."

"So," She said, "How did you get blood on your shirt?"
