The test
Percy sat in her cabin her hands shaking as she stared at the pregnancy test.
She didn't know what to do, she was eighteen, and the father was Andrew her long time boyfriend.
Yes they had made plans to get married and have kids but they were for the future.
And now she was pregnant which was impossible considering the fact she had birth control pills before they did it.
How was she supposed to tell him that those didn't work, and now he's gonna be a dad, he was going to hate her.
And at the moment he was busy studying for his entrance exam for the college he wants to go in to study architecture.
She had already given her exam for Marine Biology and was already in the college, which put more pressure on Andrew because he was determined for them to be together even in college, he wouldn't be away from her for more than necessary, not after Tartarus.
His exam was in a week she would tell him after his exam, Percy decided.
And till then she had to pretend that everything was fine.
But it wasn't she sighed and placed her hand on her stomach, there was a little baby growing in there, and she would protect it with her life.
Andrew loved Percy with everything he had, he had already decided on how and when he was going to ask her to marry him.
Imagined their future together hopefully less chaotic, and more peaceful. And kids lots and lots of kids only if Percy wanted kids.
And right now all he wanted to do was take a break and cuddle his girlfriend, as her fingers ran in his hair.
So that's what he did.
Outside her cabin he grinned brightly, and knocked.
"One second!"
Her voice sounded panicked.
His face fell was she alright?
"Percy are you fine?"
"Yup I'm just... changing one second!"
She was changing now? Why? Something was definitely wrong.
Just then she opened the door with a smile and Andrew knew something was wrong, because of the nervousness present in it.
"Heyyyy..."
Something was definitely wrong.
"Percy are you fine?"
"What? Yes of course I'm!"
Nope.
"Percy."
"What I'm fine."
He stepped forward and gripped her face softly, as she leaned in his touch, "Percy just tell me what's wrong I'm here for you."
She smiled at him, this time without nervousness, "It's nothing that big, just that mom sent cookies and I didn't want to share."
He gave her a half heated glare, "You shouldn't have told me that!" And threw her outer her shoulder, as she gasped in surprise and giggled softly, "Andrew!"
But little did she know that Andrew knew something else was wrong.
Don't get Andrew wrong he trusts his girlfriend with his whole heart, has and always will. He trusts her with his life with everything he has, but right now he was mad at her.
His exam was the next day and he was already paranoid.
And now he opens her cabin door too tired to knock and she's there and so is Kim Blake, one of Camps best healers.
The two weren't doing anything it seemed like they were just talking, and that Percy even looked nervous even before he barged in her cabin.
He glared at Kim, "sorry if I'm interrupting anything." He hissed out.
He saw Percy's eyes widened and she fumbled around.
"It's cool man, I was just leaving. Percy we can talk later."
Kim left.
Andrew just started at her, and turned to leave.
"Andie? Where are you..."
"You don't want me here it's fine."
"That not.."
"You and Kim can go back to talking or what ever you two were doing."
Before she could stop him he left banging the door. She didn't follow as she stared at the pregnancy test in her hand.
Andrew passed the test, he got in. Not that it mattered to him anymore, it was obvious Percy no longer cared for him the way she used to that way she still does, the past week had been torture for him not only had she been ignoring him and yesterday he knew why.
And he hated it.
She was waiting for him near the pine tree.
He ignored her.
But it was obvious of no use, because before he could protest she dragged him to her cabin and shut the door behind her.
"How did it go?"
"Why do you care?"
Her face fell slightly but she soon smiled again.
"I'm hoping it went well.."
"I got in." He mumbled.
She smiled brightly at him and pulled him by his collar and kissed him taking him by surprise.
He hadn't kissed her back but she didn't pull away.
He gripped her arms and pulled them down and broke the kiss.
She frowned.
"What are you trying to do?"
"I'm kissing you..."
"No! You and what about Kim?"
She blinked at him in confusion, "Why would I care about him?"
"So the two of you weren't a all secret secret yesterday and this morning."
"I- I need help."
"And I suppose I couldn't help?"
She stared at him.
"In this matter no! And I didn't want to worry you."
"Didn't want to worry me?" He repeated looking at her like she was speaking fish.
"Andrew. I love you. With everything I have. Never doubt that."
"I- them what were you talking about?"
"Remember two months back when we..."
"Had sex? I'm a little sad that we didn't do it again. I'm mean if you want to... I'm not forcing you!"
"I want to. But stop interrupting me."
He stayed silent.
"And I had birth control pills..."
"I know you did. I saw you have them."
"They didn't work Andrew. That's what I was talking to Kim about."
"What's that got to do with why you're acting so...." He trailed off his eyes widened.
"Andrew...?"
"You. With me. BABY?"
"Yes."
"I'm gonna be a dad?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure it's mine."
She glared at him and hit him on the chest.
"Sorry. I'm gonna be a dad."
"You're not mad?"
"Mad? Woman I love! And I love the child."
He sat down on his knees and placed a hand on her stomach, she nodded, she he lifted her shirt (his shirt she stole) and placed soft kissed on her barely visible bump.
"I love you." He whispered softly.
He looked up and stared at Percy in guilt, as she watched her cry softly, in relief.
She fell on her knees and buried her face in his neck as he wrapped his arms around her, "I'm sorry I yelled."
"It's alright." She whispered.
"I got you." He whispered, "I got you."
She stared at him for a second and pulled him in for a much needed kiss.
