Summary: Percy's mother died and he would have to stay with his stepfather Gabe. Which was not going to happen, not if he could prevent it. So he tracks down his biological father Poseidon to live with him instead. Poseidon is living with his lover Hades, his own two sons Triton and Tyson from previous relationships and Hades' children Thanatos, Bianca, Nico and Hazel. Aside from grieving his mother's death and recovering from his previous stepfather's abuse, Percy now has to adjust to a new school, new people and a new and complicated family. Suddenly he has not one but two fathers and a whole bunch of siblings. Things get a little weird when he starts developing feelings for the son of his father's boyfriend. But Nico is in a relationship with Jason.

Meet the di Angelos

Percy and his New Normal

Chapter 7: The End and the Beginning

Somehow it felt as though Percy was getting ready for his own funeral. The suit was expensive and it also felt that way. It felt tight and heavy. He was wearing something that was more expensive than the apartment he used to grow up in. It was unsettling.

"Let me help you with that."

Percy nearly jumped into the air at the sudden voice. Bianca chuckled and walked up to him and started to tie the bow-tie around Percy's neck. It was red. Bianca was a bit thrown off by this, but Percy didn't offer any explanation, so she didn't pry. Bianca straightened the bow-tie.

"Now come, everybody else is already waiting downstairs", whispered Bianca softly.

"Everybody...?", asked Percy unsure, biting his lips.

"Dad, papà, Triton, Thanatos, Hazel, Nico, Tyson and Jason", nodded Bianca slowly.

Percy sighed in relief. He had felt a little awkward about inviting Jason to his mother's funeral. After all, why should the other boy want to attend the funeral of someone he didn't know? Taking a deep breath, he followed Bianca downstairs. Everybody was dressed in black and especially Nico and Hades kind of looked like mafia members. They all looked like they wanted to comfort him, to say something or do something, but they didn't know what. So Percy just walked up to them and squeezed in between Nico and Jason. The couple linked their fingers behind Percy's back, guiding the younger boy outside. It was a good thing the stretch limo of the di Angelos was long. Thanatos took the seat behind the wheel – he loved that thing and he loved driving, so he found the notion of paying someone to drive their car utterly ridiculous. Triton took the passenger seat. Percy sat between Jason and Nico, feeling safe there. Hades, Poseidon and Tyson sat opposite them and Hazel sat with Bianca. Biting his lips again, Percy shyly took Jason's hand.

"How did you cope with losing your mother?", asked Percy softly, looking at the blonde.

"I think it was... different for me, compared to you. Your mom loved you and was there for you. Mine was constantly drunk and cursing my dad. She never really cared for Thals and me", replied Jason, equally soft. "Don't get me wrong, she was my mom and I loved her. But, well, I still had Thalia and she had been... more of a mother to me than our mother had. She basically raised me, so... it wasn't as much of the loss of a mother to me."

Percy frowned and nodded before turning his eyes onto his lap. "What about you guys? I mean... I... You're only living with your fathers. So what happened to your... mothers? I—If I may... ask?"

Nico, Bianca, Hazel and even Triton turned to look at him surprised and Percy felt like shrinking.

"No, you deserve to know, Percy", interrupted Hades softly, looking at his children for conformation and having them all nod slowly. "Thanatos' mother died during childbirth... together with his twin. It was a complicated birth and only he did make it. Bianca's and Nico's mother Maria, I met her when I returned to Italy after I lost my first wife... Maria got hit by lightning when both of them were still very small, Nico was barely a year old and Bianca was only three. It was... tragic and made me return to the US, where I met Hazel's mother Marie in New Orleans. Even while she was pregnant with Hazel, I noticed that all she wanted was my money. After Hazel's birth, I fought hard for custody, to keep my child. Then we moved here, my children and I."

"Triton's mother and I, well, it was a one-night-stand. I had a lot of those with women when I had a crisis about my sexuality, trying to be straight. I didn't know about Triton for years", continued Poseidon. "Then I met your mother and we tried to work, I already explained that to you. Triton's mother eventually came around and asked me to take Triton when he was young, because her new husband wasn't fond of the idea of raising a bastard-child. Only when Tyson's mother... she... Honestly, I have no idea who she is. She just left him at my doorstep when he was a baby. It woke me up, made me realize how irresponsible I was behaving. That was when I came to terms with being gay, with truly being gay. Is that answer enough?"

"N—Not really", replied Percy honestly and turned toward his kind-of-siblings.

Amusingly, the first one to answer was Tyson. "I don't need a mommy, I have a daddy and a papà who love me and lots of siblings and I love them all. Is okay like that."

Percy smiled a little at that and relaxed against the backrest, listening to the other's answers.

"I... tried to contact her once before, but she didn't even want contact. She admitted to only having me to get money out of papà. I'm fine not knowing her", stated Hazel firmly, still looking kind of upset. "I have dad and papà, just like Tyson says. Why miss someone who doesn't want me?"

"I sometimes imagine how it used to be. Papà says that it's mostly my imagination, since I was only three, but I cling to those memories, whether they're real or not", whispered Bianca sadly.

"I... often wonder", admitted Nico and averted his eyes. "It's why Poseidon and I didn't get along at first, because I was angry. I felt like papà was taking my chance of ever getting a mamma away by being with a man. I learned with the time that having two fathers is all I really need. I still wonder what she was like, what she would have been like as my mother."

"I visit my mother every other weekend", continued Triton, looking at Percy softly.

"But she gave you away", countered Percy confused. "I mean... she... didn't want you?"

"She did, but she loved her boyfriend. It wasn't that she chose him over me, I was a really troubled child and I picked a lot of fights, especially with him. She just couldn't take it anymore. When I came to dad, I... well, I changed. I realized that I was just chasing people away", shrugged Triton. "My stepfather and I still don't get along though. But I see my mother on a regular base."

"I don't know anything else", ended Thanatos. "I never met her. Papà is all I know and I don't see the point in longing for impossible what-ifs. I have a great family that I love, that's enough."

Percy nodded slowly and relaxed a little. He leaned against Nico's side, head on Nico's shoulder. The Italian was really, really comfortable. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, making him frown.

"Where? I mean, y—you put up the funeral. Where will she be buried?", asked Percy concerned.

"With her family", assured Hades softly. "I did my research before I went to work, Percy."

"So... what does that mean?", asked Jason curiously. "Which graveyard in New York will it be?"

"The one in Barryville", smiled Percy faintly. "It's my mom's hometown. I was born there too, actually. We moved to New York City only after my grandparents died and we moved in with uncle Rich. It's a small place, my grandparents owned a farm there."

"Aw, I would have liked for you to grow up as a farmboy instead of a cityboy", pouted Jason. "You would look adorable all as a little cowboy and stuff."

Percy huffed and flushed the slightest bit. "Occasionally, yes. Before my mother married Gabe, we often visited. I have a few friends left there. Get comfortable, it's a two hour drive. At least."

"What about your other friends?", asked Jason suddenly.

"Mh?", grunted Percy confused and turned to look at the blonde, buried into Nico's embrace.

"I mean, ever since you moved in with the di Angelos, did you even contact them? They must be worried out of their mind. Friends from the city, I mean", elaborated the blonde.

"I don't have friends", shrugged Percy and turned away.

"I find that hard to believe", snorted Triton. "You're like a kicked puppy. How not everyone just wants to pick you up and cuddle you is beyond my comprehension."

"I've been changing schools every year, some years even twice or trice because I get into a lot of trouble. At some point, I just really didn't see a reason to try anymore. Besides, with Gabe... Finding friends would mean to get close to someone and letting someone get close would mean they may notice and I couldn't risk that. I haven't made any friends in years", shrugged Percy with a glare.

"Well, that's going to change now", declared Jason and wrapped one arm around Percy's shoulders.

Percy smiled faintly and leaned into the embrace. He had his doubts though. He didn't fit in with this suburban paradise. Why should they want to befriend him?

/break\

Poseidon and the others were setting chairs and preparing the last touches while Percy was with Hades. It was up to him to decide what to engrave on the headstone and what headstone to pick. They had arrived hours before the actual funeral to get those things finished.

"It's a beautiful quote", noted Hades, one hand on Percy's shoulder as they joined them again.

"How much longer do we have?", asked Percy softly.

"Two hours until the funeral starts", replied the lawyer. "Why? Is there something you want to do?"

Percy just shrugged and averted his eyes. Jason and Nico exchanged a look and grinned.

"Haze, Bia, Ty. You want to come along? We're forcing Percy to show us the town", declared Nico.

Taking Percy's mind off the pending funeral, maybe making him dwell in nice memories for a change. Tyson was in right away, yelping and running up to Percy eagerly. Hazel and Bianca joined them too. Percy turned toward the fathers questioningly, but Poseidon just nodded.

"Triton, Thanatos, Hades and I will take care of everything", promised Poseidon.

The teens and Tyson left. The town was small. It was kind of weird for the di Angelos, because they had never really been anywhere aside from big cities. Everyone on the streets greeted Percy by name, still remembering the little boy from the old days and knowing about Sally's funeral. All said they would see him later on. Only when they reached the outskirts did it calm down a little. They were walking toward a farm, Bianca and Hazel chatting animatedly.

"Where are we going?", asked Jason curiously, watching how Tyson dashed off to an old farm.

"That's it. My grandparents' farm", replied Percy with a small nod. "It's been abandoned since my mother moved to New York with me. It's... whenever mom and I visited the town, we'd go here, sneak into the barn and... no, just come with me. I'll show you."

He too dashed off, running after Tyson. The other four exchanged a look and followed. Inside the barn, Percy climbed an old ladder to get to the upper level. Tyson was the first to follow and as the others joined them, they understood. From the window, they had the perfect view, facing the town and overseeing it all. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Percy sat down, with Tyson on his lap, Jason and Nico to his left and Hazel and Bianca on his right.

"We'd just sit here and watch the town. Dream of how it could have been. If her parents wouldn't have died, I'd have grown up here with her, with them. I always wanted that", whispered Percy. "I still do. One day, I don't care how long it will take me, one day I'll move back here."

"If the farm doesn't get sold until then", pointed Bianca out.

"It's mine", replied Percy nonchalantly.

"What do you mean?", asked Hazel stunned. "It's yours?"

"When my grandparents died, it became my mother's and she has had it in her testament, always, that... after her death, it would go to me. She wanted to sell it, when uncle Rich was dieing of cancer, but then she met Gabe and he helped her with the hospital bills. She never told him about the farm, I guess that's the only reason why he never bugged her into selling it. Mom knew that I always dreamed of living here one day, which is why she never sold it, not even when money was tight. She rather took another job than to do that", explained Percy, his voice hoarse.

"Linwood!", called someone very loudly all of a sudden. "I knew we'd find you here!"

There were two boys, a redhead and a brunette, both tall and muscular. They were waving at the di Angelos, or more precisely at Percy. Percy grinned and waved back. He stood, after getting Tyson off his lap, and made his way back down. The others frowned confused and followed, once more. Jason tugged a little on Nico's hand, looking at him confused. The Italian just shrugged.

"Why did the boy call you Linwood, big brother?", asked Tyson innocently.

They had left the barn and stood in front of the farm. Percy motioned up to the worn wooden shield. The paint was barely visible anymore, but it read Linwood Farm. Percy grinned a little.

"My mother's maiden name. It's her parents' farm. And those are Mark and Sherman", introduced Percy before he went to get hugged by the two other boys. "Guys, that's my new... family."

Nico glared fiercely at the intimacy between Percy and the two guys. Damn, he was jealous. He hated that feeling, but it was hard to suppress, especially since Percy wasn't his. And it got worse with the time they spend with the two other boys. But it made Percy happy. Then again, that exactly was what made Nico so jealous. They were playing soccer, Mark, Sherman, Percy and Tyson on one team, Hazel, Bianca, Jason and Nico on the other. It managed to take Percy's mind off of things.

/break\

It was about two hours after the children had left that Poseidon found himself standing in the halls of the Linwood Farm. A faint smile laid on his lips as old memories flooded him. His fingers traced faded wallpapers from the sixties as he walked through the halls to the room labeled as Percy.

"Perseus", whispered Poseidon softly. "It's time to go."

Percy jumped a little from where he stood in front of an old, dusty crib. "How did you find us?"

"It... wasn't hard to guess where you would go", replied Poseidon as he walked up to his son. "After all, I was... here before too. When I was still with your mother. We were both young and foolish and her parents supported us. I lived here, for a couple of months. I still remember... you were such a perfect, little baby, laying in your crib, giggling and grabbing for the wind-chimes. Oh, you were such a cute baby, always laughing and smiling. You nearly never cried, you know? And even if, the dolphins always calmed you down. Or your mother's singing, regardless of how bad it was."

Poseidon laughed softly. There was a wind-chime with dolphins hanging over the crib. Percy took one of the delicate glass-dolphins in his hand, looking at it closely. He let go of it and left the room, stopping at the door. There was a wooden plate, engraved with his name and with shells glued to it.

"Can we... take this with us for... my room?", asked Percy shyly.

"Of course, Perseus", smiled Poseidon kindly and took it off the door.

"Thanks...", whispered Percy softly.

They left and made their way back to the graveyard. He had send the others to go already before going inside and getting Percy, so by the time father and son reached the graveyard, everyone else from their family was already gathered. It was a tedious task to greet everyone and say 'thank you' for every time someone told him how sorry they were, but as the only family Sally had left, it was up to Percy to do so. Basically the whole town had gathered, but Poseidon had a feeling that Percy was still waiting for someone, even as the priest started his speech.

"Perseus? Who are you looking for?", whispered Poseidon.

Poseidon and Hades stood right behind Percy, with the other children flanking them. "G—Gabe."

Hades rested one hand on Percy's shoulder, squeezing a little. "He's under arrest, couldn't make bail. He won't show his face here, I made sure of that. You have a restraining order against him."

Percy turned large eyes on Hades and gulped slightly, unsure what to say. "T... Thank you."

/break\

The main part was over and everyone had gathered around the buffet by now. Poseidon and Hades sat together with a farmer couple named Hypnos and Iris, as well as the local bar owner Dionysus, chatting away. Thanatos and Triton were talking to Dionysus' oldest son Dakota, while Dakota's younger brothers Castor and Pollux were blatantly flirting with Hazel and Bianca. On a funeral. Then again, the two boys looked kind of drunk, so there was that. Percy had spend a while with Sherman, Mark and his other friends from town – Lee and Michael, as well as the sons of Iris and Hypnos; Butch and Clovis. Tyson sat under a table, conspiring with two younger boys around his age named Christopher and Harley, the sons of the local mechanic. Jason frowned as he looked around to account for the di Angelos, because Percy wasn't with the other teenage boys anymore.

"Where's Percy?", asked Nico worried.

Nico's eyes snapped over to Mark and Sherman right away, but the two boys were still here. Frowning confused, Nico took Jason's hand. Percy had barely spoken a word since they had reached the graveyard, since the ceremony had started nothing at all. Even with the other teenagers from town, Percy had mainly just listened to them bringing him up to speed on what was going on in the town. Nico didn't like this. He didn't know Percy well enough, so what if the boy was going to do something stupid now? His mother's funeral tipping him off, bringing everything too close? The couple sneaked away from the assembly. Maybe Percy was back at the farm? But before they got far, they saw Percy standing in front of the gravestone. Sighing relieved, Nico and Jason walked up to Percy slowly. The headstone was white marble, with a simple engraving.

Sally Linwood

Beloved Mother, Daughter and Niece

We're All Stories In The End.

Just Make It A Good One.

There was a red fez resting on top of the headstone, one that hadn't been there before. Nico and Jason came to stand on either side from Percy, silently. They remained that way for a while.

"What does the fez mean?", asked Jason confused after a while.

"It's... symbolic. The quote, it's from Doctor Who. The eleventh Doctor. Just like the red fez and the red bow-tie. I... like the quote, a lot. I thought it'd fit", replied Percy hoarsely.

"Doctor Who?", questioned Jason with a frown. "I mean, favorite show and all, okay, but... on her headstone? Isn't that... sort of... inappropriate?"

"It was my grandmother's favorite show. She used to watch it with my mother. My mom worked a lot when I was small, but when they started the new series in 2005, my mother... she never failed to make the time to watch it with me, even if she had to record it. That one hour, we'd sit together, just the two of us, and everything would feel... normal. Good. It made her talk about her parents, it made her laugh and remember them and it made me feel like I had a whole family, through my mother's memories. Doctor Who was our... thing. Gabe didn't care, he found it ridiculous, he willingly left the living room when it was on. It was just mom and me. It was safe and good and warm and... and ours. I don't care if TV shows shouldn't go on a headstone, it's what was important to us."

"Oh...", nodded Jason stiffly. "Sorry. I didn't know. I... I don't know what to say."

"I don't know what to feel, so I guess it's okay", shrugged Percy.

"Let's get back to the others", suggested Nico softly. "It's getting chilly and dark. Come on, it won't be the last time you ever visit her grave. We'll drop by again."

He laid one arm around Percy's waist, guiding him away from the gravestone. Percy hadn't eaten a thing so far today. He had spend breakfast in his room and when they had arrived in Barryville, the teens and Tyson had eaten lunch in a diner before going to the farm, but Percy had merely drunken a milkshake. And now he hadn't touched the buffet so far either. It was time to get some food into the boy, regardless of how upset he was about his mother's death, he needed to eat.

/break\

They were sitting in the limo again by the time the moon was already out. Hazel was typing on her cellphone, informing her boyfriends that they were on their way back, Bianca was reading a book, Tyson was laying curled together on Hades' lap, deep asleep. This time around, Triton was driving while Thanatos sat on the passenger seat. Jason and Nico were, again, sitting on either side of Percy.

"Those two boys that were all over you the whole time, who were they?", grunted Hades.

"Mark and Sherman? They were good friends, whenever mom and I would come to town. We played a lot when we were little kids. With wooden swords, pretending we're gladiators. Why?"

"So no... ex-boyfriends?", interrogated Hades, also raising the other eyebrow.

"Urgh. This is what having a father feels like, eh?", groaned Percy, leaning his head back. "No. They're no ex-boyfriends. I don't have any exes. Or current boyfriends, for that matter."

Jason slumped a little in relief. He had been jealous too, but he was better at covering it up than Nico. That and he thought that Percy could use every comfort he could get today. But it had irked him immensely how overly friendly those two farmboys had acted with Percy. It was probably not a good sign that he was growing possessive of his boyfriend's new little brother. Then again, it was even worse a sign that his boyfriend grew possessive of his little brother too. Jason couldn't picture any scenario where that would end well. After all, Poseidon was fiercely protective of his troubled little son. Even without Nico being supposed to become a brotherly figure to Percy, Jason doubted that Poseidon would let anyone close to his precious little boy.

"Who owns the farm by now?", asked Poseidon, changing the topic for the sake of peace (he knew how protective his boyfriend was of their kids). "It looked abandoned. There were even the things of your grandparents still inside the house. It's a shame, really... It used to be quite beautiful."

"Poseidon, the farmer", whispered Hades amused. "I'd have loved to see that."

"It belongs to Percy", piped Hazel in. "He told us. It's in his mom's testament?"

She turned quizzical eyes on Hades, but the man just shrugged. "Never seen a testament."

"W—What?", asked Percy and sat up. "But... But... Wouldn't that mean her things go to Gabe?"

"Since he is Sally's widower, yes", answered Hades slowly.

Percy slumped and looked upset. "No. That's not going to happen. Tri! Turn here."

He gave Triton an address and they changed directions until they came to stop in front of the apartment building where Hades had first met Gabe Ugliano. Even before the car stopped, Percy was out of the car. Hades glared as Poseidon followed his son. Hades motioned for his children to stay in the car as he followed the two Jacksons upstairs. Percy picked the lock, but as he entered, he froze for a second. Poseidon laid a supporting hand onto his son's shoulder. Percy turned toward him with large eyes and took the hand, linking their fingers as he led his father into the small apartment. Hades followed them to a bookshelf and watched how Percy pushed it out of the way. In a vent in the wall was a wooden box hidden that Percy pulled out and handed to Hades. While Hades went through the legal documents – Percy's driver's license, passport, birth certificate, the same documents for Sally too and a testament – Poseidon looked around.

"You... grew up here?", asked Poseidon shallowly. "That's..."

"Horrible?", snorted Percy and shrugged, averting his eyes. "Can I... pack some of my mom's things before we leave? It's mine, after all. It says so on the testament. Mom showed it to me before. She made it early because everyone in her family had died so young, so she wanted to be prepared."

Hades nodded slowly while reading the testament. Poseidon followed his son to a bedroom where Percy took a suitcase and started to pack some things – like Doctor Who DVD boxes that they had probably bought on a flea market, judging by the way the covers looked. Some books and the few jewelry and framed pictures on the bedside table that were of Sally and Percy, or even of Sally's parents. Poseidon kept looking around uncomfortably, wishing his boy would have grown up with them and not here. The snapping of the lock on the suitcase startled him.

"Let's go back home, dad", whispered Percy, looking down onto the floor.

Poseidon actually stumbled a few steps and turned to stare wide-eyed at his son. Percy just offered him a nearly shy look, as though he wasn't sure if that had been okay. But the smile that lit up Poseidon's face then was all the answer Percy needed. He pulled his son into a tight hug.

"Let's go back home", nodded Poseidon and kissed the top of Percy's head.


Author's note: It's totally my headcanon that Sally grew up on a farm, don't ask me why, it's like Octavian being British, it's just there, in my head, and needs to be obeyed. And Linwood is the name I originally intended as Sally's mother's maiden name, but since I took the Jackson and gave it to Poseidon, I made Sally and Percy Linwoods. I figured that was better than really having Gabe's last name engraved on the headstone.

Next chapter will have Percy-Tyson-cuddles and Percy-Nico-bonding. Also, Ares throws a big barbeque and Percy gets to meet the whole neighborhood. And we learn what's happening with Gabe at the moment, so stay tuned. ;)
