As I woke up the first thing I noticed was the light in my face.
I looked around. It was a big, cosy room with still white walls.
It had large Windows,a black furry sofa which stood towards a huge flatscreen tv, a wardrobe which was reasonably sized, a hammock and a king sized bed which was currently occupied by me. I got out of bed and went slowly to the door to look downstairs.
Thalia was downstairs on the sofa in what I suppose was the livingroom watching titanic.
She looked up and saw me "Nice pajamas, Neeks" She grinned.
I looked down at myself and saw I was wearing a black pyjamas with the blue inscription rocking godly I blushed so hard I would have made every tomato in the world jealous.
I blushed even harder as I thought how I got them on.
Hopefully my father transfigured my normal clothes into these because if... No I didn't want so think about it it was that embarrassing!
I rubbed the back of my neck "so Thals what are you doing here?"
Now it was her turn to blush.
" well...I just wanted to see if you're ok.."
I was touched "so...how long was I out?"
Now the answer I got was about 42 hours to much.
"Two days Nic"
I staggered and she rushed towards me and guided me to the humongous sofa.
"But then I should be dead but I'm looking better!"
"Ambrosia and nectar, Nic.
We force fed you that stuff"
"By we you mean...?"
Your dad, mom, Percy who is swimming in the pool at the moment and me."
"I have a pool?"
"Yep"
"Wicked"
"Thals?"
"Hmm?"
"Why aren't you with Artemis turning boys into mush?"
She chuckled darkly
"Because of a demigod dream"
"Care to elaborate?"
"Please, Neeks, I don't want to talk about it"
She looked upset so I let it go.
To save an awkward pause my mom walked in.
"Il mio bambino! You're awake!"
"Mamma!"
she hugged me.
She saw Thalia and smiled
"You have very nice friends, figlio, don't lose them."
"I know, mamma. I won't, mamma.
Is papà there?"
Hades came stumbling out of the room I had thought was Maria's, clearly he had just woken up.
I looked at him and saw he was different...
He wasn't gloomy looking anymore but a smiling young person in his late twenties. He had short hair which stood in every direction and a six pack which you only saw because he had forgotten a t-shirt.
"I think you might have forgotten something, mio amore." Maria giggled.
"Yeah, I noticed but I can't find it anymore..."
We all laughed at him, he pouted and walked in the direction where a heavenly smell was coming from.
Sniggering I followed slowly on my fragile legs.

Do you know that feeling of disbelief you get when you look at some before and after photos?
Well that's how it felt when I looked to my dad.
Did Maria bring the best out of him or did Maria's previous death make him so gloomy and ,well, manic?
I decided that Maria brought the best out of him and that that person who was sitting beside me at the kitchen counter eating pancakes had been killed with Maria.
That person was my papá.
Not the man who had neglected me so long, no, but the person who actually cared.
I smiled and started to slowly eat my pancakes.
I turned around to Thalia who said "Could I have more, Miss di Angelo?" you should of seen those puppy eyes! I chuckled while my mom complied.

In the next 2 weeks I got better so fast that I was allowed to train but only in secluded areas and with someone.
Thalia stayed in the guestroom and I enjoyed her company whilst Percy had to go back to camp.
Unconsciously my mom had adopted her and as long she fed Thalia she wasn't going to go.
My dad was actually here and if I didn't know he went I would say he never leaves. He went when everybody was sleeping which you could see.
You know, gods don't need to sleep but they liked it and you could see that he got more tired every day until he fell asleep with his face in his food. I had to levitate him with shadow while my mom was screaming at me not to. I managed.
Thals and I were sitting at the edge of the pool, because my mom was going to teach us to swim.
Needlessly to say we were both unbearably nervous.
"Hey Neeks?"
"Hmm?"
"You won't let me drown right?"
"If I'm not too busy drowning, no I will never let you drown."
"Sweet."
If we hadn't both been staring at the water like it was our personal death that would of be a sickly sweet moment.
My mom came looked at us and smiled.
I chickened out.
"Mom, I'm feeling a little faint I think might just go to bed."
"Nico! You are not going to chicken out of this!"
Thalia's eyes flashed with anger.
"Ok..."
I looked down in defeat.
Mom chuckled.
"Ok guys this is easy. Now I'm going to hold you and you are going to float. Just lie down and relax.
I lay down and tried to relax with mom holding me.
I felt secure in her arms but when she started to slip away I panicked and splashed.
After many tries I started to get a hang of it and my mom moved to Thals who was evidently having more problems but after a while she got better until my mom let her go and she swallowed water.
Then she did something which was dangerous for me and my mom: she electrocuted the water. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I spouted water.
"Breath, figolio, breath!"
I sucked in a big gulp of air and my eyes slowly fluttered open.
It was my dad looking like he was panicking and at the same time was furious.
"Nic! You're awake! Thank Chaos!"
he hugged me.
"Where's mom? Is she ok?"
"Don't worry son, she's fine"
"And Thals?"
"She is back there figlio but don't worry she will not hurt you she cannot come close."
He went over to where I presumed Thalia was and came back with her carrying her like a wet dog.
"Do you know what you almost did?!
You almost killed my reasons for existing!
For that you shall suffer!"
He raised his hand probably to curse her or cast her soul into tartarus.
"NO!"
I screamed and jumped in front of Thalia.
"No Nico!"
I was blasted by something and the last thing I saw were beautiful dark blue eyes which were shining with newfound love and shock.
