Under the Sea

Chapter 1: A Happy Reunion and An Unhappy Seperation

Nico di Angelo-Jackson now had two beautiful, twin girls. Amarie was a stunning blond with her father, Percy's sea-green eyes. She was easily the most beautiful girl Nico had ever laid eyes on which meant he and his husband would have many, many suitors to scare off.

Amera inherited her mother's obsidian black eyes and his dark hair. She also got Nico's pale complexion, which contrasted greatly the tan, sun-kissed skin of her sister.

Not only were the two girls so different in looks, their personalities were also complete opposites. Amarie was the out-going, flirty, girly-girl and Amera was the shy, conserved, thoughtful girl.

Nico had been married to his husband Percy Jackson for 17 years. Their daughters, who were 15, had been a wedding present of sorts from Poseidon and Hades. Despite the King of the Underworld's protests against his son being the submissive in the relationship, both gods were able to agree that their sons should be able to have kids. They transferred Percy's ability to have kids (which was a trait among sons of Poseidon) to Nico who ended up carrying a boy one year later and then the twins almost immediately after that.

Pallas di Angelo was a spitting image of his father Percy except for the obsidian eyes gained from his mother. He had, upon reaching the age of 14, opted to make his name di Angelo instead of Jackson because he felt that it suited him better. He was now 16 and the interest of the seas.

Percy had accepted immortality after the Giant War and when he married Nico, the younger boy became immortal also. Percy became the god of ocean travelers, the patron of sailors, and Nico became his queen.

Pallas, Amarie, and Amera were all princes and princesses, and the family of the sailor's god lived under the sea in a palace built specially for them.

Their palace was located in the North Atlantic near Long Island Sound. It was built there so that Percy and Nico would never be far from camp and their kids wouldn't be far from home while they were at camp over the summers.

"Mom!" Pallas shouted as he saw into the palace, his light pink tail propelling him forward.

"Yes sweetheart?" Nico answered as he looked up from where he was sitting, watching the doors, waiting for his husband to come home.

"You'll never guess! I went out today and oh my gosh! My suitors were just so competitive for my attention!" he said with a giggle. "Aclepiades had his arm around my waist and was whispering something in my ear," he blushed at this, "Nisos was so angry. He took my hand and kissed the back of it and-"

"That's nice, dear," Nico said with a pointed look at his son. He hated most of his sons suitors. The mentioned two, he hated the most. His husband also disliked the suitors. Nearly all of them only wanted Pallas as a mate because he was his father's heir; a prince and the ones that actually liked Pallas for Pallas and not his title didn't receive any attention from the young prince at all.

Amarie was the next to swim into the large entrance hall. She giggled as her best friend, Onesiphorus, whispered something in her ear. The two mermaids had been out all day gossiping with their other friends.

Amarie's one tan tail moved back and forth as she floated a good distance away from her mom who she waved to with a smile.

Nico waved back to his oldest daughter and smiled at the youngest of his three kids as she swam shyly into the hall. Pallas was still going on about his suitors while Amarie and Onesiphorus gossiped, but Amera just swam quietly over to her mother to give him a hug. "Hi, mommy," she said in her soft, quiet voice.

"Hi, my angle," Nico replied with a small smile. "How has your day been?"

"Good," Amera replied. "I spent most of it reading in the library."

Nico opened his mouth to say something but before he could get anything out trumpets sounded, announcing the arrival of the king of this palace…and his heart. He jumped up and swam to the door, enveloping his husband in a crushing embrace.

Percy smiled and hugged Nico back. "I missed you, babe," he said with a smile.

"Your stay in the Arctic was way to long!" Nico complained as he moved aside to let the kids hug their father.

Pallas started telling his father about his suitors and Percy's eyes darkened as he looked over at his husband. "I'm gone for six weeks and he has suitors with their arms around him? All over him?" Percy demanded, starting to get angry with his husband.

"What was I supposed to do about it?" Nico demanded.

"Fight them off? Lock him up?" Percy suggested before sighing. "Never mind. That's not your job it's mine. I'm sorry I shouted at you," he said, hugging his wife. "I'll make it up to you later," he said with a suggestive smirk and a wink. "Now, I'm starving. Who's up for dinner?" asked the King of Sailors and his question was met by the "me"s of the rest of his family.

Later that night Nico laid in bed snuggling with Percy after several rounds of hot sex. He smiled and listened to his husband describe the palace in the Artic Ocean where he'd had to go to meet with the diplomat of Kihone, goddess of snow and bitchiness. The two lovers cuddled with each other as they drifted off to sleep, both oblivious to the fact that Pallas was sneaking out to see one of his favorite suitors, Opites.

Pallas giggled like a little girl when he met up with Opites in a cave a good way from the palace. Opites pulled the young prince down into the bed they had put there and snuggled with him.

"Pallas, do your parents like me?" Opites asked quietly in a gentle tone.

"I don't think so," Pallas replied. "But they have to like you more than they like Aclepiades or Nisos."

Opites tensed at the mention of their names. "I hate seeing you with them drapped all over you."

Pallas rubbed his suitor's chest soothingly. Aclepiades and Nisos were her favorite, but Opites was his second favorite. "Shush," he said sternly. "Just go to bed and don't worry about it."

Opites chuckled lightly and nodded, taking hold of the younger merman's hand. "Yes, my prince," he whispered before drifting off to sleep.

"Pallas Perseus di Angelo!" screeched his father as he stormed into the cave. He yanked the seaweed blanket off the two as they tried to scramble out of the bed. "Just what in Hades do you think you're doing sneaking out of the palace and spending the night with another merman?!" Percy yelled. He grabbed his son's arm and pointed towards where half a dozen armed mermen were waiting. "Go!" he hissed. "You are in so much trouble, young man!" he said before turning to Opites. "And you!" the God of Sailor's shouted. "You should know better than to sneak out with my son-my heir in the middle of the night and then sleep with him! Do you realize what I could do to you for that? I have half a mind to cut off your head and hang it above the palace entrance!"

Opites watched the prince go and hung his head as he listened to his king scolding him. He bowed deeply. "I'm terribly sorry your majesty. I won't make any excuses or say it wasn't my idea. It was," that was a lie but he couldn't really blame the king's son right in front of him. "I'll withdraw my affections from your son and no longer compete to be his mate," the merman said feeling as if his heart was shattering.

Percy nodded and watched as the dejected merman swan off. He turned and swam back to the palace where he made his way to his son's room.

Nico looked at his husband, mixed emotions on his face. He didn't know whether to be upset, angry, or relieved. "You need to go talk to him," he said, pointing at the closed door.

Percy shook his head, but after a long, silent battle with his wife he finally sighed in defeat. "Fine." He knocked on the door and heard a muffled, "go away!" He sighed again and pushed open the door. "Pallas," he said as he walked over to the sobbing boy. He sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to pat his son's shoulder.

"Don't touch me!" Pallas snapped. "Y-you embarrassed him! Everyone will know about it! They'll l-laugh at him! H-he'll be t-teased and g-gossiped about! H-he doesn't deserve that!" the prince sobbed into his pillow.

Percy put his hand back in his lap and sighed, flicking his tail in an irritated manor. "Look, Pallas," he started. "I… I may have over reacted slightly."

"Slightly?" Pallas asked looking appalled. "Slightly?! You waaayyy over reacted!"

Percy looked at his son. "I'm sorry, Pallas. I just…I'm just being an over protective dad. I don't want you getting hurt by someone who just wants you for you title-"

"Opites isn't like that!" Pallas protested.

"And I don't want you being taken advantage of," Percy continued after being interrupted. "I just want you to know I love you and if you ever need to talk about anything-"

Pallas snorted. "I'll go to mom," he mumbled.

Percy sighed. That was the best he could do. "I'll be here if you need me." He kissed the back of his son's head and watched as the boy rubbed off the kiss. He then turned and swam out of the room, closing the door gently behind him.

"Daddy?" a small voice said off to his right. He turned to face the speaker and saw his youngest child. "Yes, Amera?" he said as she swam over to him.

"I just want you to know that Pallas and I were talking a few days ago and he says he loves Opites. He says that when mating season comes around if Opites proposed, he would have accepted."

Percy felt his stomach lurch. "Thanks, princess," he said as he hugged her and kissed the top of her head. "Now, I've got work to do. Go settle down with a good book or something," he suggested before swimming off to the forges to talk to the cyclopes.
