Chapter 18: Three Weeks Later & The Unexpected

Nico's POV

Its been three weeks since Teresa vanished. No one knows what happened.

I was at the beach then I heard Percy yelling for me. I got up and started to run.

In his arms he was carrying Teresa. She didn't look good.

When I got to him he put her in my arms and we ran to the big house. Poseidon and Hades was there and both of them looked shock.

"Get her into the house and some one get Apollo."

Zeus said. I put her in one of the room and soon Apollo came in looking worried.

I didn't trust him.

"I need you to leave the room so I can see what happened to her."

I didn't want to but I had no chose but to leave. I waited down stairs with the others.

Poseidon looked scared so did Percy. I bet I looked like them.

The minutes ticked by then the hours.

"How long does it take to check her out?"

I said and every one was looking at me.

"He's doing the best he can."

Poseidon said.

"He's a god and it shouldn't take him this long."

I said and he looked at me. Before he could say anything Apollo came in.

We turned and looked at him. I didn't like the look that was on his face.

"She's going to be ok but I have some bad news."

He said and we waited for him to go on.

"I don't know how to say this but it looks like she has been raped."

He said in a low voice. We looked at him then at each other.

I couldn't believe my ears.

"Who would do something like that to her."

Poseidon said more to him self then to us. I walked out of the room and headed to hers.

I sat next to her bed. She looked bad but she looked the same as the day she vanished.

Then she opened her eyes and smiled up at me. But then it fell.

"Whats wrong Teresa?"

I said in a low voice. Tears were running down her face.

"Please don't cry."

I said as I wiped away her tears.

"Do you know were you are?"

I said to her and she nodded her head.

"I'm home."

She said and her voice was scratching and husky like she hasn't used it in a while. "How long was I gone?"

She said. I gave her a glass of water. She drank it all.

"Three weeks."

I said and her eyes got huge.

"Really? It felt a lot long then that."

She said as more tears ran down her face.

"Its ok my love. I will help you get threw this."

I said as I kissed her hand. She smiled at me.

"Thank you."

She said.

Teresa's POV

After I got better to leave the house. Nico was waiting for me.

I was jumpy every little noise scared me.

"I don't feel safe here anymore."

I said to him. He looked at me with worry.

"I know a place that no one can get to you. With out you letting them."

Then he picked me up and took me to my house. I sat on my bed my stomach was hurting.

Nico was making me something to eat. But as he came in I jumped up and ran to the bathroom.

Nico followed me as I slid to the toilet. Then vomit into it.

"Are you ok?"

Nico said as he pulled my hair out of the way.

"I haven't been feeling good for a while."

I said to him. When I was sure I was done I brushed my teeth.

He got me some juice. I had a few glasses.

"Did you see my laptop?"

I said Nico.

"I thought you took it back to camp?"

He said.

"Damn it. I wanted to check my email."

I said. He smiled at me.

"If you want I can go and get it for you."

I smiled at him and kissed his check.

"That would be great thanks."

I said. Then he kissed my head and felt.

When I heard the door closed I jumped up and head for the bathroom. I'm glad I didn't throw them out.

I opened the box and read what I had to do. After I peed on the stick I waited for the answer.

I was hoping that it were change before Nico came back. But then I heard him come in and I went to the door and locked it.

Then he knocked on the door.

"Teresa are you ok?"

He said threw the door.

"Yes I'm fine I just need a few minutes."

I said and he left the door. I had the test in my hands as I slid down the wall.

Just a few more seconds and I will know. I closed my eyes and was to scared to open them.

But then I slowly opened them and it was a blue plus. Tears ran down my face.

I threw it in the trash then came out of the bathroom. Nico was sitting on my bed. "Whats wrong Teresa you are pale."

I didn't know how to tell him. If I tell him would he still love me.

"I need to tell you something."

I said. He looked at me with worry.

"What is it?"

He said. I bit my lower lip.

"I hope you will understand."

I said then took a deep breath.

"Nico I'm pregnant."

I said in a squeaky voice. It took him a few seconds to get what I just said.

"Do you think it's the rapists kid?"

He said in a low but deadly voice. I closed my eyes before talking.

"I really don't know. Cause you and I had sex before that happened. The baby could be yours."

I said even more scared to open my eyes to see that his face looks like. The I felt something on my stomach.

My eyes snapped open to see Nico's hand on my tummy.

"What if the child isn't mine?"

He said to me. In his eyes I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"I don't know Nico. If the baby isn't your I don't wont to raise it."

I said.

"Why not? Who every took you knows you and you know him."

He said.

"I don't remember. I think he had me drugged most of the time."

I said.

"What if the baby is mine?"

He said more softly.

"If the baby is yours I hope you don't mind helping me raise our child. I really hope the baby is yours Nico."

I said.

"I read a lot of books. In them they say a new mother seems to glow when she is pregnant."

I said trying to remember what else the books say. Nico was staring at me.

"That morning after we made love. You were glowing a little. Even Annabeth saw it."

There was hope in his eyes.

"Really then there is really a chance that you are carrying my child."

He was smiling at him. Then he put his arms around me and kissed me.

I kissed him back.

"We cant let any one back at the camp know. At lest not yet. Who ever raped me wanted me to get pregnant. But he didn't know that we had sex before they took me."

I said and he nodded then my eyes started to get heavy.

"I'm going to take a nap Nico. I love you and can you lay with me for a while?"

I asked him and he smiled and snuggled next to me as I fell asleep. . . . . .

Can you guess who raped her? Who's baby is Teresa carrying? What do you think so far?
