Here's a bit basic German with the terms that will frequently pop up in this fanfiction:
Mama = mom
Papa = dad
Tantchen = auntie
Onkelchen = uncle (actually a diminutive version of uncle, like auntie for aunt)
mein Engel = my angel
mein Geliebter = my beloved
Ich liebe dich = I love you
Ich (liebe) dich auch = I love you too
Gute Nacht = good night
Schwesterherz = beloved sister (or something along that line)

Being a Patchwork-Family in New Rome
4. Chapter: The Children – Die Kinder
Percy smiled lazily. He really could get used to this. Waking up in Octavian's arms. Somehow this felt good. Right. He snuggled closer into the embrace, his eyes still tightly closed.
"You're quite cuddly, Perseus", chuckled the Roman amused.
"Mh... Du bist aber auch so bequem, Octavian...", mumbled Percy sleepily.
"What did you say?", asked the augur confused and tilted his head.
Sea-green eyes opened slowly and he looked up at the blonde sheepishly. "You're comfortable. Sorry, I just... I guess I'm used to talking German by now..."
"Not a problem. I think it sounds cute when you talk German", grinned Octavian.
"Obgleich du absolut keine Ahnung hast, was ich sage?", laughed the Sea Prince highly amused.
"And what did you say this time?", asked the Roman and blinked confused.
"Cute", grinned Percy and stretched some, looking up at the descendant of Apollo. "I said; You like it even though you have no idea what I'm saying?"
"What can I say?", shrugged the blonde, putting even more of his British accent in. "Sometimes it can sound very erotic if someone talks just the slightest bit different."
"Stop it!", grunted the son of Poseidon and blushed slightly.
The strong British accent was doing very odd things to him. He sat up some and shifted a bit, feeling the strong arms sliding around his waist. The Roman rested his chin on Percy's shoulder.
"Say something dirty in German", whispered Octavian into his ear.
"I—I... I did say to you that I don't want to... yet...", muttered the Sea Prince and blushed.
He wanted to get up. Really. But it was such a safe and warm feeling he got whenever he was close to the praetor. How could he push the blonde away? Then again, how could he lead Octavian on? It was true that he didn't desire a relationship just yet. But he was allowed to feel good, wasn't he...?
"Oh come on", grinned the Roman and edged closer. "Just tell me something. I just want to hear it. I'm not trying to seduce you – not that I wouldn't want to – but I'm curious. Mh?"
"Why?", snorted Percy and turned around some to look at the blonde.
"Because German has that bad reputation of not being beautiful or hot... So... I'm curious if you can make it sound hot", shrugged Octavian casually.
Blue eyes looked so deep and honest and... Percy felt himself so eager. But he didn't quite know for what. Blinking confused he shook his head. Then he smirked. Time to tease the Roman. He straddled Octavian's hips and pushed the blonde back against the cushions before leaning down to whisper into the Brit's ear in a hushed, rough voice.
"Ich würde deine Toga mit meinen Zähnen öffnen und dich langsam entkleiden", murmured Percy. "Dann würde ich deinen Hals entlang küssen und meinen Hintern langsam an deinem immer härter werdenden Schwanz reiben. Und glaub mir eins, mein Hintern ist sehr, sehr talentiert. Du kannst dir nicht einmal in deinen heißesten Träumen vorstellen, wie eng ich bin. Dein Schwanz und mein Hintern werden eines Tages sehr viele sehr geile Stunden miteinander verbringen. Und du wirst es genießen. Wenn du einmal mit mir geschlafen hast, wirst du nie wieder einen anderen wollen, glaub es mir. Ich würde deinen Namen schreien, dass es sogar die Halbgötter im Lager hören würden..."
The son of Poseidon stopped when he felt something hard brush against his ass. Dark red spread over his cheeks and he jumped slightly. Seriously? Octavian hadn't even understood what he had said! How could he have such an effect on the augur?
"I'm sorry", coughed the Roman, flustered himself. "I didn't mean to... It just seems your... voice and body have more of an influence on me than I would have anticipated for. My apologies."
"You don't have to be sorry", muttered Percy and averted his eyes, biting his lips. "It's a... natural reaction... If anything, I should be sorry... I shouldn't have teased you..."
"No. It's not your fault. Well, it obviously is, but I can't blame you", disagreed Octavian.
Percy was still sitting on Octavian's legs, staring down at the erection in front of him. As did the blonde, greatly ashamed. That was the moment Danny decided to burst into their bedroom.
"Mama! Papa!", exclaimed the girl before she stopped in front of their bed. "Oh..."
"D—Danny!", yelped Percy, blushing even more.
"Sorry", mumbled the child. "Didn't mean to interrupt your adult games."
"Adult... games...?", repeated Octavian dumbfounded.
"Yeah", nodded Danny hastily, pointing at his erection. "Mein Bruder always said that this happens when boys are really really happy and then they play adult games. Mama und mein Bruder played them really, really, really, really, really often and always send me to my room then."
"You didn't have to put so many 'really's into this!", hissed the Sea Prince, blushing harder. "Out!"
"Ja, ja", muttered the blonde and pouted. "I know, I know. I'm not allowed to play adult games yet."
"I'm sorry", groaned Percy and ran his hands over his face. "She's very... Her brother was very..."
"No more words please", grunted Octavian. "I do not need to hear more about your sex life with Danny's brother. She gave me more than enough information already."
The Sea Prince bit his lips and stood up to get some physical distance between them.
"I'll go and check on what Danny wanted from us... You should take a cold shower first..."
"Ah, wait. One thing!", called Octavian after him, waiting until the Greek poked his head into the bedroom again. "What was it you said earlier...?"
"Uh... nothing", mumbled Percy. "Just wanted to tease you. A muffin recipe."
"Oh...", nodded the blonde a bit disappointed now.
The son of Poseidon left the bedroom and closed the door, also closing his eyes tightly. He couldn't possibly tell the augur what he had said. That would only lead to... more problems.
"Danny, where are you?", called the Sea Prince curiously.
"In my room, hearing very loud music so you and Papa can play in peace!", called Danny back.
The very persistent blush came back and Percy cursed beneath his breath, entering the girl's bedroom. The room was neatly tidy, as he was used to from Danny. The blonde girl was sitting at her table beneath the bunk-bed, her headphones on the ears. Percy shook his head and walked up to her to remove the phones to talk to her. Big, blue eyes stared up at him.
"But you normally play your games longer...", blinked Danny confused.
"We don't play", smiled the son of Poseidon and tilted his head.
"Oh...", muttered the girl, her face falling. "But... Since we left home, you haven't played with anyone. But Brüderchen said that adults need someone to play with. Someone they really like. And I had hoped you and Papa would play together..."
"Your... Papa and I", started Percy slowly, not sure where this was supposed to go. "We will one day play with each other. But not now. You see, to play that game you have to know each other very, very good. But Octavian and I don't know each other that good just yet."
"What was it you wanted anyway?", asked a voice from behind them.
Once again, Percy blushed. Perhaps he should just stay in bed today...? It seemed the world was set on flustering him completely today. Danny grinned broadly at them as Octavian walked up to them to stand next to Percy, casually resting a hand on the smaller man's shoulder.
"I just wanted to ask if you're feeling better yet, Mama. Because Lizzy, Thea, Cally, Herc, Sammy and I wanted to go to the park together, but no one has time for us. So I promised so ask you if you would come with us... Pretty please? Mamileinchen? Papileinchen?", begged Danny.
"What a thing?", grunted Octavian and blinked dumbfounded.
"Well, Papi would be the diminutive form of Papa. Papilein is even more diminutive. Papileinchen is... she wants something very, very badly", chuckled Percy amused.
"German has many diminutives", snorted the blonde and shook his head.
"That's what I like about the language", grinned the son of Poseidon and tilted his head.
"Anyway", coughed the Brit. "No one else has time? I'll go and check that first."
He grabbed Percy's hand and pulled the demi-god out of the bedroom and into the living room. Percy hadn't left the apartment in the last two weeks. Their friends often came over to check on him, but they had refrained from bringing their children, fearing that it would be too much stress for the Sea Prince. But by now, the son of Poseidon was heavily bored. Sure, Octavian and Danny were good company, but he missed the nature and fresh air and people.
"Rachel Dare", ordered Octavian and threw a drachma into the little fountain in the living room.
"Hey, Tavy", grinned the redhead through the rainbow. "Oh, hey, Perce! What's up?"
"Are Piper and Annabeth there?", asked the blonde. "I wanted to know why no one in this bloody city seems to have time for their own children today!"
"Annabeth and Piper are out with Malcolm and Katie. You know, today is Malcolm's birthday. They're in New York. Really not near", chuckled Rachel amused. "And I am off too. Lord Apollo requested my assistance."
"Before I waste more money... What about the others?", grunted the Roman.
"Frank and Chris are busy at the restaurant", shrugged the oracle. "And Jason and Reyna are over at the wolf house, as requested by Lupa. As you may remember since you and Hazel had no time. Hazel is, as you certainly also know, busy with both your duties since a son of Mercury just arrived. Jake and Leo are at the garage, Will is in the hospital, Clarisse also has work and Nico is off doing Hades knows what. Funny, Hades most likely truly knows..."
"Okay, okay, okay", groaned the blonde and waved his hands. "I give up. Suppose it's my turn sitting the babies... Bloody buggers..."
"Have fun, you two", chuckled Rachel. "It's great bonding-time for you. A couple's true test."
The rainbow vanished. Octavian groaned again. Percy frowned confused.
"They can't be that bad. Can they...?", asked the son of Poseidon.
"Don't worry", grunted the Roman. "I'll take care of it. You stay here and relax."
"I've relaxed enough for a lifetime now!", disagreed Percy and crunched his eyebrows. "I'll come with you. And you don't have a say in this. They are my friends' children. I have to meet them."
"Yes!", cheered Danny and jumped them from behind.
Figured she would eavesdrop on them. Percy chuckled amused and lifted her into his arms.
"How about you get ready and go over to get Cally while Papa and I get dressed?"
"But no playing adult games now! I don't want to keep them waiting!", warned the girl.
Both adults blushed at that and watched how the daughter of Apollo ran out of the apartment to go and get her best friend from next door. Percy shook his head and returned to the bedroom.
"So... you and her brother seemed to have played those adult games quite often", noted Octavian.
"Uh...", the Sea Prince blushed again. "Well... What can I say...? You can have much fun with me."
"I completely believe that", muttered the blonde beneath his breath, getting dressed.
"I can't wait to meet the children", changed Percy the topic, fighting his blush.
"I'm sure you will love them", chuckled Octavian. "Come and hurry. Thea hates it when others are being late. So we shouldn't let the lady wait."
"If everyone is busy... where are the children, then?", hummed the Sea Prince confused.
"Most likely with Rachel. Since she is the only one still at home. And Cally and Clarisse must be next door. Her shift doesn't start for another hour", replied the Roman.
"Well then, let's go and fetch Cally", grinned Percy once he was fully dressed.
Octavian offered him his arm and the Sea Prince took it reluctantly. Together they left the bedroom and then the apartment, crossing the hall and entering the neighboring apartment, the door still open. They heard the two cheerful voices of the girls.
"Clarisse? Where are you?", called Percy curiously.
"Living room", called the daughter of Ares back. "With your annoying brat and mine."
"Mom!" - "Tantchen Clarisse!"
"Only stating the truth, girls", shrugged the brunette woman.
Octavian and Percy entered the living room to find the three females gathered around the table, eating croissants. Though both children bolted up as they saw the two men, each grabbing one croissant for the way, Cally kissing her mom good-bye before coming to stand eagerly in front of the men, blinking curiously up at Percy.
"Auntie Percy, can we go now?", grinned the black-haired girl.
She had quite a few trades from Hermes. The mischievous eyes and Chris' black hair. But other than that, she was a complete mini-Clarisse. The son of Poseidon ruffled her hair.
"You're really eager, aren't you?", chuckled Percy amused.
"It's way too hot here!", declared the granddaughter of Ares stubbornly. "I want to go to the lake."
"Oh. The lake, mh?", nodded the Sea Prince in understanding. "Well then, let's hurry."
"And suddenly the little mermaid is eager too", chuckled Clarisse. "Have fun, children."
"Bye", chorused the four of them before leaving.
Cally and Danny ran in front of them, happily chattering about school or something while the adults followed them. They left the mighty apartment complex. It seemed Cally was right. It was incredibly warm outside. Percy wouldn't have guessed. Though then again, he could have figured that Octavian had a good air-conditioning system. New Rome looked nothing like he remembered it. It was way bigger, so many more, modern houses. And playgrounds. It truly seemed as if the city had boomed since he had left.
"How far away does Rachel live?", asked Percy curiously after a little while.
"She's staying with Piper and Annabeth since Danny took over my guest room. She doesn't have an own apartment here since she is the Greek oracle and supposed to stay at Camp Half-Blood. But with all her friends living here, she crashed at my place most of the time", answered Octavian. "And the McLean-Chase family is only living down the street."
The Sea Prince nodded shortly and followed obediently until they reached a beautiful house with a dove and an owl drawn above the entrance door. Most likely courtesy from Rachel. Cally was the first to reach the house and bang the door very, very loudly, until Rachel opened.
"You have your grandfather's manners", muttered the oracle and shook her head.
"Be glad I don't sneak in like my other grandfather", grinned Cally and stuck her tongue out.
"Cheeky little thing", grunted Rachel. "Hello, Tavy! Perce!"
"Rach", smiled Percy and hugged the redhead tightly.
"Kids! Come on, or don't you want to go anymore?", called the oracle loudly into the house.
Within a second, four children stood lined up in front of her, grinning broadly. There was a little girl with straight, blonde hair and such a broad and sunny smile as only children of Apollo could have them. Next to her stood a little girl with curly blonde hair and curious gray eyes, staring at Percy from behind pink glasses. Then there were also mini-Hazel and mini-Jason.
"Wait, let me guess", grinned Percy, pointing at them one after the other. "Lizzy, Thea, Sammy and Herc. Am I right with that?"
Thea's gray eyes sparkled. "Yes! That was really good, uncle Percy!"
"Where are we going, uncle Octavian?", asked the shy voice of Sammy.
She attached herself to Octavian's leg, looking skeptically over at Percy. While Hercules didn't waste a second and ran past them all. Sammy frowned after him, rolling her golden eyes at that.
"Cally said something about the lake. What do you think, kids?", smiled Octavian.
"Yey!", chorused all before turning to Rachel. "Bye!"
"Finally", sighed the redhead relieved and hurried to get back into the house.
Percy chuckled at that and turned to go too. Though he found a little girl attached to his own leg too. Blinking surprised, he looked down at the daughter of Athena. Thea blinked shyly.
"Uncle Percy", whispered the child softly. "Is it true that you know mommy really long? Mom said you know mommy even longer than she does! Is that really true?"
Percy grinned and bend down to lift her up into his arm. "Yes. We have know each other ever since we were twelve. And we've been best friends since then too."
"How was mommy when she was a child?", asked Thea curiously.
So Percy fell into a re-telling of all the bravery of Annabeth Chase, having not only Thea as an attentive listener. The other children followed him like little ducklings too, listening curiously, the concept of adults once being children themselves completely fascinating to them. Octavian stayed silent and watched with fondness how Percy had captured them all. He was sure his Sea Prince would one day be a good mother to their own children... If he allowed Octavian to have him...
/break\
"When did you pack all that stuff?", marveled Percy as he sat down on the blanket.
"As my childhood idol always sang; Be prepared", snickered Octavian, sitting down next to him.
"That... explains so many things", giggled the son of Poseidon amused.
They took food out of the bag the blonde had brought with them. Both men had already changed into swimming shorts (though Percy still wondered when and why Octavian had bought a pair of navy-blue swimming shorts for him!). The children were running along the shore of the lake, splashing water at each other. They were playing Quest together, Danny, Cally and Herc together against Thea, Lizzy and Sammy. Which team found Mrs. O'Leary first, won.
"She is very good at hide and seek. For being a gigantic hell-hound", commented Octavian.
"I wouldn't say that", grinned Percy and looked over at the shaking bushes behind them.
The mild breeze whistled through the trees and the Sea Prince closed his eyes self-indulgently. He laid down next to the blonde and rested his head on Octavian's chest. The Roman wrapped one arm loosely around his shoulders to keep him close, though still watching the children with hawk eyes.
"They are adorable", mumbled Percy sleepily.
"Mh. I just don't like how close Hercules and Danny always get", muttered Octavian.
"Don't get all protective-dad over her just yet. She's only four", chuckled the Sea Prince. "We'll have at least ten more years until we have to worry about suitors."
A soft smile spread over the augur's lips. Percy was talking about them. In ten years. He knew he already had his Sea Prince. He only had to wait for Percy to realize that too.
"Perhaps a son would be better", mused Octavian lowly.
"We can't give her back and demand a new one", laughed Percy and shook his head.
"No, not her", grunted the Roman and rolled his eyes. "I meant for us. I've always thought about a daughter. But seeing as we will have to go through all the trouble with Danny... Perhaps a son would be better then. It would be safer..."
The son of Poseidon sat up some to look at him surprised and the Roman groaned mentally. He should learn to shut his mouth. When did he become to talkative anyway? All Rachel's fault!
"You forget that I am a son of Poseidon. My children would be the same", smiled Percy softly. "Meaning if we had a son, he could get pregnant too if he would be gay. So you would have to go through the whole protective-dad thing with him too. Besides... Why only one?"
"True, true", sighed Octavian and frowned. "Wait. What do you mean 'why only one'?"
The Sea Prince shrugged slightly, folding his arms beneath his chin on Octavian's chest. "I've always been the only child of Poseidon in the cabin. While all others had their siblings. I would want more than one child. Danny would be a good big sister and help us, certainly."
The blonde smiled again, wrapping his arms around Percy's waist. They fell into a content silence.
Author's note: Because I'm only teasing Octavian with it, I'll translate to you what Percy is saying to him; "I would open your toga with my teeth and slowly undress you. Then I would trail kisses down your throat and rub my ass slowly against your hardening cock. And believe me, my ass is very, very talented. You could not even in your wildest dreams imagine how tight I am. Your cock and my ass will spend many hot hours together one day. Und you will enjoy it. Once you've slept with me, you will never desire someone else, believe me. I would scream your name so even the demi-gods at camp could hear it..."
