The Aphrodite cabin was alive with laughter and chatter, a symphony of femininity and camaraderie. Amidst the sea of girls, Selina sat by herself, her black hair cascading down her shoulders as she stared out the window. Her blue eyes were distant, lost in thought.
Charles, her boyfriend, approached her, his hands stuffed in his pockets. He was a striking figure, with a caring personality that drew people in. His hobby of making miniature statues was just one of the many reasons Selina was drawn to him.
"Charles," Selina said, her voice soft but firm. "We need to talk."
Charles looked at her with concern, his dark eyes searching her face. "What's wrong, Selina?"
Selina placed a hand on her stomach, feeling the small bump that had only recently begun to show. "I'm pregnant."
Charles's eyes widened, and he stammered, "What? How?"
Selina rolled her eyes, "I'm a daughter of Aphrodite, Charles. It's not exactly a surprise."
Charles smiled nervously, "Right, of course. I'm just...surprised."
Selina put a hand on his arm, "I know. But I need you to be there for me."
Charles nodded, "Always."
The two hugged, and Selina whispered, "I love you."
Charles whispered back, "I love you too."
They broke apart, and Selina said, "I'm going to tell the rest of the cabin."
Charles nodded, "I'll be there for you."
Later that day, Selina stood in front of her cabin mates, who were all looking at her with curiosity. She took a deep breath and said, "I have something to tell you all."
One of her cabin mates, a daughter of Demeter, said, "You're pregnant, aren't you?"
Selina's eyes widened, "How did you know?"
The daughter of Demeter smirked, "Please, Selina. It's not exactly hard to guess."
Selina rolled her eyes, "Fine. Yes, I'm pregnant."
The cabin mates all started talking at once, asking questions and offering advice. Selina raised her hands, "One at a time, please!"
The cabin mates quieted down, and Selina said, "I need your support. I'm only three months along, but it's still early."
The daughter of Demeter said, "Well, congratulations, I guess."
Selina smiled, "Thank you."
Charles walked over and put an arm around Selina's shoulders, "We're in this together."
The cabin mates all smiled and offered their congratulations. Selina felt a sense of relief wash over her. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was ready for this new chapter in her life.
As she looked around at her cabin mates, she knew she had a strong support system. She was the daughter of Aphrodite, after all, and she was determined to face this challenge head-on.
"Let's do this," Selina said, her voice strong and resolute. "Together."
