Annabeth:

My breath hitched at the sight in front of me. The sonogram machine should a clear image of a little 10 week old fetus. Honestly I had no idea I was this far along. I had been so busy preparing for finals that I didn't keep track of my period until my roommate who was on the same cycle as me had gotten hers and I didn't.

My body hadn't changed much besides the random feelings of nausea and feeling like I needed to nap more. I hadn't started gaining weight which was great because I wasn't truly ready for every change my body would go through.

When the sonogram was finished the sonographer printed a photo of my baby with the usual grainy black and white photos and one set in 3D.

I couldn't believe it. While this definitely should have been happening four years from now when Percy and I's careers were established and married, the thought of something made from our love made me incredibly joyful.

Wow, our baby.

The words felt foreign to me but they also felt right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I headed back to my apartment excited and nervous to tell Percy the news. The ride in the elevator to my fifth floor apartment felt longer than usual but it gave me time to settle my nerves fully before reaching my apartment door.

I could hear loud noises coming from the other side of the door. I opened the door to see Ahmad and Josh playing what looked like GTA on one of my roommate's Xbox. Henry was in the kitchen with my roommate Sammy talking about some obscure show they had both seen. My other roommate, Holli was at work at Whitneys setting up the Saturday night rush.

I looked around for Percy but he wasn't in the living room. His shoes were at the door so I knew he was here.

"Hey guys, where's Percy?"

"He's in your room." Ahmad called over his shoulder not even attempting to look at me.

I started to walk towards my room when another I remembered another presences being missing from the room.

"Josh, where's Amelia?"

He waved one of his hands in the air as if to wave me off. Honestly, Josh wasn't Percy's least favorite roommate, he was mine too.

Ignoring his half assed acknowledgment I walked back toward my room. The door to the bathroom was closed and the lights from the bottom of the door crack stepped into the hallway. Amelia was probably in there fixing her makeup or trying to snoop through our medicine cabinets. Either way I didn't really care.

I got to my door which was closed, which usually meant Percy was waiting for me on the little lounge chair in the corner of my room like he always did. I always left my bedroom door open when I left but on the days that Percy would surprise me and make it back to my apartment before me, he would close the door to symbolize that he was there.

A little smile garnered on my face excited to see Percy on the other side and officially tell him the news.

I turned the door knob prepared to see Percy alone. Instead I saw Amelia sitting on his lap in the lounge chair kissing him.

I couldn't speak. I could only feel my tears fall onto my cheeks. My voice sounded foreign to me as I quietly said "Get out."

Nothing.

My tears stung more than anything.

"Get out. Get out. Get out" my voice cracked with sadness as each word worked its way through my vocal cords and expelled themselves out of my mouth.

I wiped my tears away to see clearly as Amelia rose from Percy's lap with a smile on her face. I turned my face unable to meet Percy's eyes.

"Annie, please. Please look at me." I couldn't tell the tone of Percy's voice but I knew he had gotten up and started walking towards me.

"Please, just leave." My voice had returned to being meek and timid.

I half expected Percy to put a fight but he walked right past into the hallway.

I still stood at the opening of the doorway unsure of what to do next unsure of where to go next.

I looked down at my feet trying to ground myself as thin arms wrapped around my shoulders. Sammy's arms were the only things keeping me from collapsing in the moment.

By the time nine o'clock rolled around I had 45 missed calls and 115 text messages from Percy, 12 missed calls and 5 texts from Rachel, and a barrage of texts from Ahmad and Harry apologizing for even coming to Boston. Even Josh left one voicemail that I refused to listen to at the time.

When Holli arrived back home Sammy had filled her in on the new sensitive subject around the apartment and that it would be best if they gave me some space. Holli in someways was like Clarisse, you tell her one thing and she ignores it and does whatever she feels like instead.

"You know, I never like Percy. He was too stupid for his own good at times." Holli stated as she walked into my room and sat on my bed next to me.

"He was stupid and cute." I said muffled by the sounds of my pillow as my face laid buried in it.

Honestly, Percy wasn't stupid by any means even though he did sometimes do stupid things.

"Well stupid and cute are not good enough qualities of someone who would be a father to your child." Holli puffed out her chest proudly with those words.

She wasn't right at all, but in the moment I chose to nod my head the best I could.

"So, no more fighting over who's pregnant between you and Sammy?"

"Well, Sammy said that you said something in between the first hour of crying about a baby picture and that kind solidified it for her that it was me."

Holli begging rubbing little circles in my back and she continued on.

"And as for me I may or may not have seen them sticking out of your purse and grabbed them."

"Great."

"How about this. You get some sleep and we'll talk in the morning about everything, how does that sound?"

I don't remember if I moved my head to garner an answer or not as the rub became more and more soothing. Before I knew it I was fast asleep.
