IMPORTANT AN: I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT WHAT I SAY IN THIS CHAPTER MAY NOT BE TRUE. WHAT I MEAN IS WHATEVER THE DOCTOR SAYS DON'T GO AROUND BELIEVING WHAT I'VE WROTE. I GOT THIS IDEA OFF A FILM SO I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S RIGHT! Thanks for all the reviews now read on…
Percy
I drive home with Grover and Nico in the back, both of which won't stop asking me questions. "Are you nervous?" Nico asks for the fifth time.
"No, I'm terrified."
"Do you want to be a dad?" Grover asks and I sigh.
"I wish I was older than I am other than that I'm fine with being a dad," I reply.
"Do you want a boy or a girl?" Nico asks.
"I don't mind as long as it's healthy. Nah, I've changed my mind; a boy so I don't have to chase the boys away from my daughter."
Grover and Nico laugh. "You know, I don't think you're going to be a bad dad, Perce."
"Thanks, G-man."
"So, what was it like?" Nico asks.
"What was what like?" I ask, confused.
"Sex with Annabeth, of course. You do know nearly every boy in the school has tried getting in her pants, right?" Grover asks.
"That's disgusting, guys. And I wouldn't tell you anyway!" I snap.
"Okay, okay," Grover says and opens his mouth to say something else but my phone cuts him off. I grab my phone out of my pocket and press it to my ear.
"Hello?" I say.
"Percy?" a familiar voice asks.
"Drew?" I ask, confused as to why she'd be calling me. "What's up?"
"It's Annabeth," she says and instantly I know something is wrong.
"Where is she?" I ask.
"Manhattan hospital. I'm here with her," she replies.
"I'll be there as soon as I can. Thanks for calling me," I say and hang up. I pull over to the side of the road and look at the boys.
"You're going to have to walk home I have to get to the hospital," I say and they do as I say without asking questions. As soon as they close the doors behind them I drive off and head to the hospital.
Annabeth
When I wake up I feel like I haven't slept in days but I open my eyes anyway. I look around at the white walls with a frown on my face. Where am I? "You're in hospital," a voice from beside me says, making me jump. I look over and find Drew sitting on a chair next to my bed.
"What happened?" I ask, my voice sounding weird. Drew walks over to a sink and fills a glass with water. Then she walks back over and hands it to me. "Thanks," I say before taking a huge gulp.
"You passed out back at school. You scared the shit out of me- I thought you was dead. So, I yelled for a teacher and Mr. Brunner came out of his room and brought you here," she explains.
"Thanks," I mutter reluctantly and then my eyes widen. "Is the baby okay?" Drew shrugs.
"The doctors did some tests but you've only been here for about an hour so they haven't come back yet. I used your phone to call Percy. He said he's on his way," she replies and I nod.
"You can go if you want," I say even though I don't want to be on my own. I don't even care if it's her that keeps me company.
"Nah, I'll stay here until Percy gets here," she replies and I sigh in relief.
A doctor walks in then carrying a clipboard and a stethoscope around her neck. "Is the baby okay?" I ask, not caring if I'm the one who is hurt.
"It's alive, if that's what you mean but we are going to do a scan to check. Also, have you been stressing a lot lately?" she asks, her voice kind but firm.
"More than should be possible," I huff. "Why is that what made me pass out?"
"The tests have come back clear so the only cause we can think off is stress. It happens a lot in pregnancies so you don't need to worry much. I only want to do a scan to be on the safe side," she answers.
"Sure," I say and relax a little. "I had a scan yesterday so there shouldn't be any problems."
"You'd be surprised at how things can go from good to bad in a matter of hours." Thanks for the reassurance. "Would you like me to cal anyone so they can come in?"
"My…" I trail off. What is Percy, exactly? "The father is on his way but I hate hospitals so can we do the scan right away?"
"That's fine," the doctor says and orders me to lift my shirt up. Just like yesterday I do as I'm told and soon she's placing the cold gel on my stomach.
I gasp slightly and shiver at how cold it is. Then she places the ultrasound scanner on my stomach. I scrunch my nose at how similar the scan looks to a paint roller.
My face instantly relaxes when my baby pops onto the screen and my mouth spreads into a wide smile. "Wow," Drew whispers and I look at her and smile. I bet she didn't think something like this could be so… beautiful. "That's your baby?"
"Yeah," I beam and look back at the screen. "Is it okay?"
"It looks perfectly healthy," the doctor smiles and I sigh.
"Thank god," I whisper at the same time Percy barges into the room, a look of pure panic on his face.
"What happened? Are you okay? Is the baby okay? I knew something wasn't right," he says quickly, running to my side.
"I passed out, I'm fine, the baby's fine and I should've listened to you," I reply.
"You're so stubborn. You know, I called my mom I was that terrified," he says and my eyes widen.
"Did you tell her?" I ask.
"About the baby? No. I figured we should do that together but I did ask her if you could stay and she said that you're welcome anytime," he replies.
"Your mom is awesome. Wait until she finds out about this," I say, pointing to my stomach, "She's going to hate me then."
"She'll never hate you," he whispers and I look away, my eyes falling on the doctor.
"So, am I free to go?" I ask.
"Yes but I have an order," she says.
"I'll do anything," I reply.
"There's only one thing and that's; relax. Stress is bad for the baby. It would be better if you told everyone that you are pregnant now instead of stressing about it for ages," she says and I nod in agreement.
"Thank you," I reply and she nods and leaves the room. I pull my top down after wiping the gel off my stomach and stand up. "That doctor is a bitch."
"I thought so too," Drew admits and I chuckle.
"You need a ride?" Percy asks her and she nods.
"Let's get out of here- I hate hospitals," I say again and we leave.
We find Percy's car and buckle up once we get inside. Percy drives off and it take about ten minutes to get to Drew's home. "Thanks for the ride," she says, closing the door behind her.
"It's fine," I say, "Thanks for helping me." She smiles.
"This doesn't make us friends, you know?" she teases.
"Pfft. You're the last person I'd ever be friends with," I reply and she laughs before walking off.
All I can think about as we get to Percy's apartment is that we have to tell Sally and Percy's step dad about the baby and that maybe, just maybe, Drew isn't so bad after all.
