Chapter {(27)} Loss

Ah, y'all are going to hate me for thissss.

Percy woke, yet again, with Annabeth. His face was buried in her blonde curls, inhaling the smell of the lemons.

He realized his hands were in a very. . . Scandalous place.

He yanked his hands away, going beet red. Annabeth shifted in his lap, her nose brushing his neck. He shivered and prodded her awake.

She kissed his neck and sat up straighter, looking at the sleeping Sally. Percy's face was red and his hand was on her stomach, the other on her waist.

She pressed her lips to his, savor in the salty taste.

"How are you doing?" She asked, her lips mere centimeters from his.

"I'm okay," Percy replied with a small smile.

"Okay, Seaweed Brain,"

"Annabeth? Percy?" A voice said from the doorway.

Said teenagers looked at the doorway to see a doctor. A very familiar doctor.

"Um. . ." Will said awkwardly.

"Hey, Will?" Percy greeted unsurely.

"Uh, hi. Nice to see you, but not in this case,"

"How are you a doctor?" Annabeth blurted.

"Just an intern nurse, actually," Will grinned, putting a finger to his lips, gesturing to his.  .  . Doctors outfit.

Annabeth chuckled, climbing off of Percy's lap. Will watched them silently.

"I'm guessing you two finally got together?" Will smirked.

Annabeth shifted on her feet and Percy looked at his lap.

"Oh my gods," Will stared at them, "You're not together, but you 'slept' together?"

Percy froze and Annabeth went bright red.

"Seriously?" Will laughed. "You'd be lucky if nobody else figured it out,"

"How did you?" Annabeth asked.

Will's face softened, "Can I talk to you, Annabeth?"

Annabeth frowned and followed Will out into the hall. Percy leaned on his mom's leg again.

After his eyes fluttered shut, he heard a rasp. His head shot up and he stared at his mom.

"Hey," he said quietly.

Sally grabbed his hand, "I love you, Percy,"

Percy's breathing hitched, "I love you too, mom,"

Will and Annabeth walked back into the room, Annabeth looking pale.

"You're sure?" Percy heard her whisper to Will.

"I'm not exactly experienced, but I think I can tell when a woman's-"

Annabeth clapped a hand over his mouth, shooting a sideways glance at Percy.

Percy's heart lurched. When a woman's.  .  . You aren't together but you slept together?

Percy's eyes became round and Annabeth stared back at him.

"Oops," Will said quietly.

A loud beep caused Percy to jump, and Will's eyes widened as he looked back at Percy's mother.

"I'll be right back-" Will said as he ran out of the room.

Percy's head spun as he looked between Annabeth and his mom.

Annabeth sat down next to Percy, noting the panicked expression on his face.

His mom choked and sucked in breaths, causing Percy to stand suddenly, making Annabeth jump.

Percy's desperate sob broke Annabeth's heart. She wrapped him in a hug, allowing him to break down in her arms.

A doctor hurried into the room, followed by a red faced Will. Annabeth looked at Will, desperately hoping he would give her some way of knowing what was happening with Sally.

A long beep and a swear told Annabeth that Percy had every right to be crying on her shoulder.
