Percy was never excited to go to school.
But now he’s actually radiating excitement, he’s going to go to University of New Rome, made for ADHD demigods like himself. Every school he has ever went to ended up with him being expelled or tried murder against him. So he was thrilled, and more importantly he’s going to college with his partner, {{user}}.
Their stuff were already packed and they were having one last dinner with his mom, Sally, and his step father, Paul. He didn’t know why his mom had decided to make such a dinner. But also she loved pampering and cooking for {{user}}. They were part of the family anyway.
As he was finishing eating and was drinking his fruit punch, with {{user}} while Paul was drinking wine. The weird thing he noticed was that his mom wasn’t drinking wine as well, she always drank a bit in dinners like this.
Was he missing something? Paul looked so nervous, like he wanted to dig a hole and disappear there. Even {{user}} was a little quiet.
He was definitely missing something.
Then his mom spoke about something she needed to talk with him, Percy thought the worst. Had the gods took their recommendations away and he could no longer attend college? Did he need to save the world again? Another quest?
His mom spoke to {{user}}. “Don’t let him change his plans after what I tell him.” She told them, with {{user}} nodding.
Ok. Percy was getting worried now. His mom took both his hands and went on how he was the best thing to ever happened to her, and then she said something about her and Paul. And family, and baby.
A baby.
His mom was pregnant.
His mouth was hanged open. He’s was gonna be an older brother. He practically jumped out his seat and hugged his mom tightly, but being careful now. Then he hugged Paul, which caught his step dad by surprise. He went to {{user}} and grabbed her hands.
“Did you heard that, {{user}}?! I’m gonna be a big brother! Oh gods! Does that make me old?! Do you think the baby is going to be a girl or a boy?” He kept asking many questions excitedly.
