Note: there are three flashback scenes
I don't own any of the characters (except OC) in and I apologize for grammar/spelling mistakes.
There was a knock at the door and a little girl with gray eyes and silky black hair ran to answer the door. She opened it to reveal a young man who looked like he was in his early twenties. He had slightly paled olive skin, dark brown eyes that seemed to hide tons of secrets in them, and black, tousled hair.
"Hi, Uncle Nico!" the little girl said with a grin, that showed her two missing teeth.
"Hey, Zoe," Nico greeted her with a smile. "Mind if I come in?"
Zoe shook her head and let her uncle enter the room. "I'll go get my mommy and daddy."
Nico nodded as he watched his niece run giggling out of the room. Nico smiled a little and glanced around the room, his eyes settling a photography book with the word "Family" written on the cover. He cautiously opened it and stared at the pictures. Percy and Annabeth were sitting on the dock at Camp Half Blood with huge grins on their faces and looking lovingly into each other's eyes. Nico smiled a little. He was pleased that he could be truly happy for them. It was really fun watching them fall more in love once he had finally gotten over Percy. He became immersed in thought as he recalled some of the funny, yet romantic times he'd witnessed between them.
-FLASHBACKS-
Nico was walking on the beach when he noticed Percy talking to Annabeth with a huge grin on his face. He was holding a notebook and Annabeth's face was slightly flushed. She was rolling her eyes, but smiling as well.
"Hey, Annabeth," Percy asked, "Did you know if I could rearrange the Periodic Tabled, I'd put U and I together?"
"Oh, my gods, Percy," Annabeth laughed. Nico snorted slightly and shook his head at the fact that Percy was using nerdy pick up lines. He didn't doubt that Percy had no idea what they meant and was simply using them to bug Annabeth.
"Annabeth, you're as sweet as 3.14," he said with a grin on his face. Annabeth rolled her eyes. The two went on like that, their hands interlaced and swinging. Nico smiled at the two. Percy then suddenly paused his pick up line business and looked at his girlfriend in total confusion.
"Annabeth?"
"Yeah, Percy?"
"What's 3.14?"
Annabeth burst out laughing and Nico chuckled slightly. Suddenly, Will came running up with a thermometer in his hand.
"What's that for?" Nico asked.
"Can I take your temperature?" he asked, "Because you're looking hot."
"Get out."
"Nico! Nico!" Percy came running up to him in a total panic.
"What?"
"Can you do me a favor?"
"What?"
"It's Halloween."
"So?"
"Can you make this spot in the woods kinda dark and scary so Annabeth and I can have a date there?"
"…fine."
"Thanks, Nico!" Percy shouted as he ran off. "You're the best even though I'm not your type!"
The son of Hades sat in the woods and had everything set up. He had a chandelier of bones hanging from the trees, a set of black roses sitting on the black picnic blanket, with fresh Italian food set out. Dim candle lights in a candelabra made out of bones sat in the middle perched on top of a small tomb stone. He had summoned some musician ghosts and skeletons and had them play some classical music. He had just made the scene just a little bit dim and foggier when he heard footsteps. He saw Percy and Annabeth walking towards their dinner spot, both dressed in black. He gave them a little smile and showed them what he'd done. Annabeth's eyes watered and she gave Nico a hug and then kissed Percy, thanking him for this. He walked away as he heard the two softly talking, with their hands interlaced and Annabeth's head resting on Percy's shoulder.
Annabeth looked positively gorgeous in her cream white wedding dress. Her hair was done in a classic style and she had light touches of make up on. Percy looked handsome in his black tux with a sea green tie. The clinking of silverware against glass made the guests look up and turn to the best man. Nico felt a little shaky as he stood up to talk. He locked eyes with Will Solace and felt a little calmer. He turned to Percy and Annabeth. He began to talk of watching them fall more and more in love and how annoying it was that they took forever to get together. He reminisced about them and asked Annabeth to take good care of Percy and wished them a long and happy life. Their was a wild applause and Nico saw tears water in his best friend's eyes as he mouthed, "Thank you."
-END FLASHBACKS-
"Nico?" a young woman's voice asked. Nico turned to see the same couple he'd been thinking about. They looked as happy as they did all those years ago. Annabeth had one hand in Percy's and the other on her swollen stomach.
"Hey, man," Percy grinned, "What brings you here?"
Nico blushed and twisted the new silver ring on his left hand. It had an obsidian jewel in the middle and two yellow ones on either side. Percy and Annabeth looked down at it and their eyes grew wide.
"Dude!" Percy exclaimed. "Congratulations!"
Annabeth came forward and gave him a hug. "So, Solace finally had the guts to pop the question, huh?"
Nico laughed, "He did. He looked like he was going to pass out as soon as he got down on one knee, though."
The Jacksons laughed. Nico scratched the back of his head.
"So, uh, I was wondering if you'd like to come to my wedding and if Percy would be my best man?"
Both of them grinned and nodded.
"Can I make some joke about how I'm not your type when I make my speech?" Percy asked.
Annabeth smacked him, "Shut up, Seaweed Brain."
