Great,Annabeth thought as she stared at the dreaded stick on the bathroom counter. She usually didn't mind math, but she knew that this plus sign had the ability to ruin her life. She was thinking about how to tell Percy when someone knocked on the bathroom door.

"Annabeth," he called out. "You've been in there a really long time. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Seaweed Brain, I'm fine" she said a bit harshly.

"Annabeth, I'm coming in there. I know that tone. That's your worried voice."

"No!" Annabeth tried to scream at him before the door was rammed open. Stupid dysfunctional lock, she cursed to herself. Ever since her and Percy had made love, he had become very overprotective. Sometimes it was sweet and showed her how much he cared. Other times it was strait up annoying; Annabeth liked her privacy.

She hid the positive pregnancy test behind her. She was going to tell him when she was ready to. Not before. Sadly for her, though, he had seen her put something behind her back.

"What is that?" he asked.

So much for waiting until I'm ready…

She brought the test out in front of her. At first, Percy looked confused. After a few seconds, realization dawned on his face.

"I know it's kind of pointless to say it now, but, I'm pregnant."
