Chapter 7

Breaking the News

Thalia's POV

This is going to be good!

"I don't want to go up!"

Ugg! I knew she would start dragging her feet soon. Be fair Thalia, said a voice inside my head, you would too. "You have to tell them anyways, why not now? You could ask them questions like 'An Aphrodite girl is having a baby, what would you do if it was me?'"

"Well, Thals, that is a plan worthy of Athena! I'll use it!"

"Glad you like it! Now go get in the elevator!"

"600th floor please!"

"There is no 600th floor, miss." He said without looking up from his newspaper.

"I'm the architect, daughter of Athena, I know things!"

He looked up, "Sorry miss! Go right up"

"I'm also bringing a friend, Thalia daughter of Zeus and Lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis."

"Her too."

"Thank you!"

We got in the elevator and it started playing 'There Goes My Life' by Kenny Chesney.

"What song is this?" Asked Annabeth.

"I don't know, at least it's not Staying Alive or something just as stupid!"

"Sush!"

Annabeth's POV

All he could think about was I'm too young for this
Got my whole life ahead
hell I'm just a kid myself
how I'm gonna raise one This is exactly what I've been thinking!

All he could see were his dreams going up in smoke
So much for ditching this town and hanging out on the coast
Oh well, those plans are long gone

And he said
there goes my life
there goes my future, my everything
might as well kiss it all good-bye
there goes my life... Ugg! Now, I'm gonna cry!

"Great! That makes me feel SOOOOOOO much better!"

Ding the bell sounded and we got out of the elevator. As Thalia and I walked in, we walked straight toward my mother's castle/house/workshop/study/library; she liked using her space efficiently.

"Mother, can I ask you a question?"

"You just did, and ask away." Responded my mother, with a slight smile on her face. Well she won't be smiling for long, when she figures out her favorite daughter is a slut.

"Ummm… Well, I've been thinking about an Aphrodite girl, who is pregnant. I was wondering, what if it was me, or say Sophia?"

"I don't believe Sophia would, but you, with Percy, maybe."

"No, mom, I meant how would you feel?"

"Well, Annabeth, next time be more specific," responded Athena. "Well, I would be a little upset, but, in a couple years, you and Percy will be ready to become parents." Annabeth started to cry silently and almost unnoticeably, except for the fact that there are tears running down her cheeks. "Why are you asking me this? Annabeth, sweetie, why are you crying?"

"Tell her, Annabeth," urged Thalia.

"Tell me what?"

"This is really hard to say… I'm going to have bigger responsibilities from now on," stumbled Annabeth.

"What?"

"What she is trying to say is that…"

"I'm trying to say that I'm pregnant."

"With Percy's?" Said the completely shocked Athena.

"Of course, who else? Luke?" (Annabeth)

"Well, I don't know what to say" (Athena)

"You hate me, don't you?" Annabeth started to run away, sobbing.

Athena catches her he arm and pulls her into a hug, "No, of course I don't hate you. I may not like Poseidon that much, but Percy is a wonderful boy and I'm happy for you. (Let's go of her) I'm not sure about you having kids so young, but if you feel your ready" "I am." "Don't interrupt;" said Athena, with the finger "if you feel your ready, I will support your choices."

"Thanks mom!" (Hugging again, which was a tad awkward for both of them towards the end, once they realized what they were doing.)

"Now, you have to go and tell Poseidon."

"WHAT!"

"You have to go and tell Poseidon."

"Thalia, come with me!"

"UGG!"

After they found Poseidon, Annabeth said, "Lord Poseidon, can I talk to you?"

"Sure, Annabeth, anything for you."

"Do you want to be a grandfather?"

"Oh, ya! I would love to! … Wait, am I going to be one?"

"Yes" said Annabeth with no expression on her face.

"That's WONDERFUL!" shouted Poseidon, with the biggest smile in the world, on his face. "I'm going to be a grandfather! I'm ecstatic [I'm using to many exclamation points!] I can't believe it! I'm so happy." By then they were both grinning.

Poseidon then pulled me into a big hug. "I'm glad you are."

"Have you told your mom?"

"Ya"

"Was she angry, do I need to hide?"

"No and no!"

"Really, really, are you sure?"

Laughing, "yes!"

"COOL!"

"I've gotta go and tell Chiron now, bye!"

"Bye, oh and tell Sally soon! She could use some good news!"

On the way down the elevator, which continued with 'There Goes My Life.'

A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator
Oh yeah...he loves that little girl.

Momma's waiting to tuck her in
as she fumbles up those stairs
she smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear
sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncing curls

He smiles
there goes my life
there goes my future my everything
I love you, daddy goodnight
there goes my life

"I'm starting to like this song!"

"Annabeth," said Thalia, who was sounding a little peeved, "you really didn't need me there."

"Yes I did. You were my moral support."

"Ya, sure!" Thalia responded sarcastically.

"Do you want to tell Chiron?"

"Nope, you're the pregnant one, you can tell him! Just, next time, don't forget I'm there."

"O.k. little miss jealous"

"I'm not! Well maybe a little."

After the bell dinged and they got in the car, Thalia said "Sorry for the way I reacted, I don't know what happened."

"Maybe you were PMSing?"

"Probably!"

"Well, do you want to look for books in ancient Greek?"

"Why would we do that?"

"We would be looking for books on being pregnant!"

"Oh… Let's get Aphrodite!" said Thalia.

"What?"

Cliffhanger I know, I'm bad! Sorry!
