Chapter 8: Lovesick Teenagers
(Annabeth)
"Uh, Percy?" I called, "We gotta...thing!"
Percy ran over. "Are you okay? Are we okay? What happened? Did you-"
"Percy! CHILL! I wanna talk about those, err, legacies," I muttered.
"Okay?"
...
We sat in the Poseidon Cabin, which is where we usually sat during conversations like these. He ran his fingers through his hair and I'm hoping he'll stop, because it's just so freaking distracting.
"So, uh, you're liking the legacies?" I asked weakly.
Percy nodded. "Especially Zoelle and Luke. They're adorable, and so sweet and-"
"Percy," I cut him off, I sighed, "those are our kids."
Percy didn't move. It's like he didn't even hear me. "Our what?"
"Kids!" I spit out. "They're our kids, Seaweed Brain! Gods! I can't even-"
I don't remember where I was going with that sentence. I don't even think I was going to say anything else after that, but my mind went blank when I got jumped by the very Seaweed Brain who I was originally angry at. Kissing all over my face, and laughing, he had this happy glint in his eye. Between each kiss, there was a word.
"Annabeth-" "Chase-" "You-" "Are-" "Perfect-" "And-" "I-" "Love-" "You-" "So-" "Much."
I guess he cared after all.
(Piper)
I am entirely sure I was shaking.
The fact that I had to go up to my current boyfriend, soon-to-be-husband and father of my children, and explain to him that two kids that are barely our age are our kids, is terrifying. As any normal human being could tell.
"Jason?" I asked quietly. He turned towards me and hummed.
"I, err, well..."
"Yeah?"
"You see...well..."
"Oh my gods. GRIFFIN IS YOUR KID!" Nico yelled. "YOU DID THE DEVIL'S TANGO TWICE WITHOUT PROTECTION! Gods."
I glared at Nico and he just smirked. "I try," he laughed, and walked off.
"I...Griffin?" Jason stammered.
I nodded. "Yeah, him too..."
He flung his arms around me and flew us upwards. He continuously ignored my yells for him to stop, and I knew he could hear them, too.
He landed us on a cloud and started attacking me with hugs and kisses, contrary to what I expected.
"I should just propose right now, 'cause we know we end up together," Jason pointed out.
I rolled my eyes. "I'm glad you're happy, but can we please be concerned about the legacies sometime soon? Thalia from the future just came like twenty minutes ago."
"What?"
"I'm gonna tell Chiron to hold a meeting."
(Hazel)
How the heck am I, a thirteen year old, supposed to explain to my sixteen year old boyfriend that I had his kid, and she's running around right now?
A question no one should have to ask, really.
I thought about writing him a note, you know, the old fashioned way. Then I considered Iris-Messaging him, and then considered letting future Thalia tell him for me.
Burying my face in my hands, I tried talking to him again. "Frank, Marietta is sorta...kinda...like, our child. Like, I gave birth to Marietta. It's weird, I know..." I trailed off.
Frank's face was a vibrant shade of red, and he was smiling a little. "I had my suspicions," he muttered, and turned into a pug. Our version of a hug, almost.
He crawled into my lap and fell asleep. And before I knew it, I was out cold, too.
(Calypso)
"Leo..." I trailed off.
"So, which one is our kid?" Leo asked.
My jaw dropped. "How did you...wha...how?!"
He spun around. "Wait, seriously? I was joking!"
"Joking?" I scowled, "you were joking about having a kid with me?"
"I joke a lot! You, as my girlfriend, should know this about me!" Leo defended. "We actually, 100%, seriously, totally, for sure, have a kid?"
I nodded a little. "Well, two..."
"Two?!" he screeched.
"Corey and Blake."
Leo knocked me over in a hug. "This is what you wanted, right?" he asked me.
"Yes, dummy!"
(Clarisse)
What the Hades am I supposed to say? Hey, what's up Chris! Oh, by the way, that sixteen year old, that kid who's a year younger than us, yeah, he's our kid. Love ya, see ya later! Like, what?!
"So, heard we have a kid?"
I spin around and stare at said boyfriend, Chris.
"What the...how the frick did you know?"
Chris laughed and tapped his forehead where his brain should be, "Boyfriend's intuition. And Leo told me."
I rolled my eyes. "That little fireflicker, of course he did. Stole my moment."
Chris laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist, which was something he was lucky I was in a good mood to do.
"I love you," he muttered.
I rolled my eyes again. "Love you too. Now get off me, I have to train."
"Yes, ma'am."
(Nico)
What. The. Hades. Am. I. Supposed. To. Do.
So apparently, Piper's ticked off that I told Jason about Griffin, so she told Will about Bianca. And what am I doing now, you're asking? Kissing him, spending time with him, etcetera? No. I'm hiding.
He gets so mushy and touchy-feely, and I don't do touchy-feely. You can't freaking blame me.
"Nico, you're really bad at hiding. I can see you from here."
I didn't answer.
"You really are an idiot, you know. Hiding under the bed instead of in a shadow."
Okay, so he did actually find me.
"You can't judge. You hid behind that curtain once," I snapped.
"Yeah, yeah. If you don't want to talk about Bianca, that's fine. I understand."
"You sure?"
"No, idiot. Get out, we're talking about Bianca."
"Ughhh...."
(Katie)
First, my enemy becomes my secret boyfriend. Sure. Next, said boyfriend dates me for about five months. Great. Then, I'm told me and secret boyfriend have twins when we're older. Why not? But I draw the line at having to physically tell Travis, said boyfriend.
"Travis..." I trailed off.
"Yes, Ms. Gardner?" Travis teases.
"You know Meggie and Matt?" I asked hesitantly.
"Well, duh."
"Their last name is Stoll. Like, S-T-O-L-L. And they look like you, and they look like me. You know what that means?"
"Kids? Like, our kids?"
"You figured it out, I'm surprised."
"Wait, seriously?!" he exclaimed.
"Yes, seriously! I wouldn't joke about something like this, unlike you."
"Okay, that was one time!"
"Yeah, yeah. Just get your butt over here and hug me."
As he embraced, a bell rang across the camp. "The seven, the legacies, and Clarisse, Chris, Katie, Travis, Connor, Nico, Will, Reyna, Rachel, and Calypso, please report to the ping-pong table!"
