Part Of Your World
Pleasure, Pain and Property
5. A Troubled Family and Familiar Trouble
Chiron wrinkled his eyebrows worried.
Whenever a god decided to visit camp, something bad was bound to happen. And when even two gods decide to come at the same time, something really bad must be up.
"Lord Poseidon, Lord Triton", started the centaur. "What can I do for you?"
The fact that the two came without Percy was even more unsettling. If anything, they came with the former hero, most of the times to see him off before he started his summer job. But the former demi-god was no where in sight.
"We need to talk to our children", muttered the Sea God darkly.
He looked everywhere but at his son, the tension between them was nearly visible. The centaur lifted one eyebrow. Normally Poseidon referred to both his granddaughter and his son as Triton's since it was a secret only shared between the gods (and of course him).
"If I may ask what about? Because Attina and Fabius are currently busy with a game of Capture the Flag. You know how much they enjoy that", chuckled the trainer lightly.
"It is urgent", growled Triton and glared at him. "Get them immediately."
The centaur nodded slowly and galloped off to the fields. He soon spotted Clarisse, who was watching over the game. A proud smile spread over Chiron's lips. His young student had become a powerful woman and a good trainer. She has moved into the Big House with her husband Chris Rodriguez once the couple had started working as trainers at camp. Ever since the Titan War, the camp had started to get a bit crowded and now that there was peace, the gods claimed even more of their children. Chiron was grateful for the additional help.
"Clarisse, child", smiled the centaur and nodded at her in ways of greeting.
"Hello, Chiron", grinned the daughter of Ares. "Don't worry, everything is fine. The Hermes-brats are causing a bit of a ruckus, but nothing too bad. The usual Capture the Flag chaos."
"I'm afraid we have to interrupt the game though", sighed the older trainer.
"Why?", asked Clarisse concerned. "Did something happen?"
"Lord Poseidon and Lord Triton are currently at the Big House and they demand so see Fabius and Attina as soon as possible, meaning now", explained Chiron.
"Only them? Without Perce?", wanted the brunette to know.
"I've not dare to ask, because... I fear worst, but yes", muttered the centaur. "I fear something had happened to Percy. I've not seen them so upset in many, many years."
She sighed sadly and whistled loudly. It didn't take her children ten seconds to appear in front of them. They heard their mother everywhere. Cally and Chrys tilted their heads at her.
"Yeah, mom? What is it?", asked the five-years-old boy curiously.
"Kids, you need to go and find me Atti and Fabi. Now."
They nodded eagerly and ran off into different directions. Chiron frowned a bit.
"How come your children never play in the same team?"
"Because their best friends never play in the same team", shrugged the daughter of Ares. "And Chrys always needs to play in the same team as Fabius, just as much as Cally sides with Attina. And since Percy's brats always need to compete with each other, they never stay in the same team."
"They do share quite the rivalry", nodded Chiron a bit concerned.
"No need to worry, it seems to me like a healthy sibling rivalry. Each is always set on making their own father proud. Kind of funny considering that Fabi doesn't know his grandfather is his father. The only thing they fight about is their mother's attention. And since Percy is pretty damn good at loving both his children equally, there is no need to worry."
The two warrior-tricksters returned, each with one child of the sea on their hands.
"Auntie Clarisse! We were about to win!", complained Attina with a pout.
The brunette woman smiled and got onto her knees to look at them. "But there are visitors who want to see you. And you don't want to keep your dad and grandpa waiting, do you?"
"Dad and grandpa are here?", asked Fabius with wide eyes. "Where? And is mommy here too?"
The daughter of Ares stood up again and took their hands, looking down at her own kids.
"You two go back and keep playing. Tell your teams that both are down one child of Perseus so it's even again and they don't need to pause the game. I'll bring them to the Big House."
Cally and Chrys nodded before running off again, too eager to play. The two whirlwinds at her hands tugged eagerly too, trying to get to the house faster. Chiron stayed to further observe the game for her. Clarisse's thoughts were with Percy however. Fear knotted her stomach. She still vividly recalled the conversation she's had with him nine months ago and the bright and happy grin on his face when he told her that he was pregnant. But this pregnancy had proved to be a quest of it's own for the Sea Prince. Twins. And it was quite the hard fight to get through the first critical third of the pregnancy, he had nearly lost the kids. Since then he had been put to strict bed-rest by Apollo, who became his personal stalker from then on. Ever since those news had reached camp in the form of a very worried looking Fire God and an equally concerned Ghost God, Clarisse had feared the worst every single day. They came nearer to the Big House and she could hear the screaming voices of the two lovers of her friend.
"It is your fault!", could Poseidon be heard.
"Oh, so now it is my fault! You were the one who insisted on the sex early in the pregnancy, even though Apollo had warned us about taking it easy!"
"Oh no, you don't put all the blame on me now, son! If Percy dies now, it is your fault, because you are the one insisting on knocking him up over and over again!"
A cold sea-breeze tugged on Clarisse' clothes and hair and she froze. Not only because of the words she heard, but more so because she felled Attina pulling away from her. She blinked a few times and stared after the girl, but then Fabius broke free too.
"Wait a second! Where do you think you're going?", scolded the trainer and ran after them.
But then she heard Attina whistling and knew it was too late. Mrs. O'Leary appeared out of nowhere and the girl climbed her back, tears streaming down her face as the mighty dog disappeared in the shadows with the child. Clarisse growled lowly at that, turning around to see where Fabius had ran off to. The stables. Of course. She sprinted there, but once she reached them, it was already too late because the black pegasus was already rising into the air.
"Get your horse-ass back down here, Blackjack, or I'll personally grill you!"
But the be-winged horse was already out of reach. She cursed on ancient Greek and Latin (her half-brother Frank had taught her that) as she turned to get to the Big House on her own. Once there she burst into the room and gave the two still fighting gods her best death glare.
"You complete morons!", growled the demi-god.
"How dare you talk to us like that!", exclaimed Triton irritated. "I am having a bad day and blasting you to ashes would probably make it better. So watch your tongue, woman."
"No", grunted the daughter of Ares and crossed her arms over her chest. "You should watch your tongue. Whatever it is that's wrong with Percy, you two have a commitment to your children. And if you send someone to fetch them, you may consider that someone returns with them. So tune your accusations down the next time!"
"What do you mean, Clarisse?", asked Poseidon worried.
"They ran off! When they heard you talking about Percy dying, they ran away! I had no chance to fetch them, you know they're faster than the flow itself if they want to. And Attina disappeared with Mrs. O'Leary to who-knows where. Fabius took Blackjack and flew off."
"You mean they have just left? That is the least I need now!", growled Triton and hit the desk in front of him with his fist angrily. "This is your fault for screaming, father!"
"Oh no, you don't get started again!", warned Clarisse sternly. "You're going to explain to me now – in a calm and normal voice – what's wrong with my best friend."
Poseidon rubbed his face and nodded slowly. "He went into labor, but... Apollo says it doesn't look very good... He can't say if Percy may make it. The fact that he's a boy makes everything just the slightest bit more complicated. He said... we should collect the children... so they can see Percy, just in case..."
"In case he doesn't make it", pressed Triton out between gritted teeth.
"But he's a god", whispered Clarisse and blinked surprised. "He can't die."
"He's not a born god. He is way more fragile than us", whispered Percy's husband.
"We actually have no idea what may happen", muttered Poseidon. "This is the first time something like this happened. A half-blood turned god having a complicated labor, especially since he's male. Apollo is at his end, no one knows how this will turn out... Anything could happen..."
The young woman nodded slowly and stared out of the window. "You two should get to him."
"But Attina and Fabius-", started the otherwise merman.
"You two are in no condition to deal with two emotional kids terrified to loose their mother. You'll only make it worse. And... if those are really going to be Percy's last hours, you two should not waste them on a goosechase. I'll send the best trackers of camp on a quest for them and look myself, but you two will return to Percy's side. He needs you now. If I know something, then it's that he's most likely terrified himself. And that won't help the situation. You need to sooth him, to guide him through this. So all three of them will get out of this alive."
Triton nodded and stood, reaching for her hand to shake it. "Thank you. And... I am sorry for threatening to blast you. You know I wouldn't do that."
"Yes, I know", chuckled the daughter of Ares. "Percy would have your ass for that."
Poseidon tilted his head as a sign of his own gratitude before the two gods left.
"Well, gotta put a quest together", muttered Clarisse once she was alone. "This is horrible."
/break\
This was horrible. Attina hiccuped as they came through the shadows. She tried to blink her tears away, but they wouldn't stop. Of course there was something wrong with her mom. Uncle Apollo wouldn't have kept such a close watch on him otherwise. But her mom wasn't allowed to die.
Mrs. O'Leary whined as she tapped closer to the tents set up between the snowy pine-trees. Once she reached the fire in the middle of the little camp, she collapsed and yawned widely.
"Mrs. O'Leary?", asked a surprised female voice.
Attina looked up, her eyes red-rimmed, her face smeared with tears, her lower lip quivering. And then she threw herself at the girl in front of her, wrapping her arms around the neck of the taller one.
"Hey, Atti", whispered the other soothingly. "What's wrong, girl?"
"What was that crashing sound? Is everything alright, Annabeth?", came another alarmed voice.
The blonde turned some, tightening her grip on the young child in her arms, throwing a concerned look at the other two huntresses who emerged the tent.
"Attina?", asked Piper surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"Daddy and grandpa were fighting", sobbed the girl, clawing her fingers into blonde hair.
"What were they fighting about?", whispered Thalia.
Annabeth sat down in front of the cracking fire, her two friends taking the places left and right of her. The huntresses exchanged a few worried looks.
"Grandpa said mommy will die and that it will be dad's fault", cried the daughter of Perseus.
The head huntress gulped concerned and ran her fingers through the black hair.
"I'm sure you didn't catch that right, girl", whispered the daughter of Zeus.
"Yeah", nodded Piper, taking her coat off to wrap it around the shivering girl. "Your mom is a fighter. Whatever it is, he'll get through it."
"But... But... But what if not...?", asked Attina, afraid of the answer, and looked up at her favorite aunt questioningly.
Annabeth bit her lips at that and pressed the child closer to her heart. "Percy's strong."
/break\
"Percy is weak", sighed the Sun God and shook his head. "I'm sorry to tell you, but he is barely conscious. In this state, we will never get through with the labor."
Poseidon nodded slowly, if only to show that he was still responsive. His thoughts were a chaotic whirl, panic spreading through his whole being. He had lost many children over the years. Strong heroes like Percy. But never like this. And never had they been so important to him. He couldn't loose his beautiful prince. Another thought crossed his mind. What was he supposed to tell Sally? And the children? No. Percy couldn't die. There were too many people who needed him.
"Can we... Can we see him?", asked Triton in an uncharacteristically small and fearful voice.
The healer of the gods nodded shortly and led them into the room.
"What... are we going to do now?", whispered Poseidon with a crestfallen look on his face as he was the pale and sweat-covered body of his unconscious lover.
/break\
"What are we going to do now?", asked the black pegasus curiously. "Where do you want to go, little boss? And where's the little miss boss?"
"We're searching for her, Blacky", murmured the boy into the horse's ear.
"What do you mean?", wanted Blackjack to know. "Isn't she with the boss?"
Fabius frowned and shook his head, clinging to the broad neck of the horse. He knew his mom was going to be fine. His mom was always fine. He had lead half-bloods into two wars and aided help in the third, he could beat anyone. His mom was the strongest being on this planet. There was no way anything could happen to him. So Fabi needed to concentrate on finding his sister now. Because once their mom would be better again, he would be furious if Atti was gone. She was older, but he was a hero. So he needed to take care of her, of course. Because she was a thinker and not a fighter. So it was his duty to protect her. His frown deepened as he felt the pegasus shift.
"Where are you flying to, Blacky?", asked the blonde boy confused.
He pushed a blue streak out of his face. Something he had just recently gotten. Blue streaks in his blonde hair. The Aphrodite cabin had made them for him, said they would highlight his beautiful blue eyes, which he had inherited from his grandmother Sally. His mom hadn't even seen them yet, because he had gotten them at camp and his mom was currently on mount Olympus. His mom couldn't die. He had to see how awesome Fabius looked with the streaks. And he needed to show his mom how his fighting skills had improved thanks to aunt Clarisse.
"The boss had given me clear instructions if you of the little miss boss come to me without each other and, more important, without either the boss, the big boss, the lord or one of the trainers", whined the pegasus determined and sped more.
"But... where are you bringing me? I need to find my sister!", screamed Fabius annoyed.
The be-winged horse landed on the shore, right in front of an old-fashioned house and whined. "He said I have to bring you here then."
Fabi nodded and gulped as he got off the horse-back. He slowly crept nearer the door and sneaked inside without being noticed. The two gods inside were playing cards, not paying attention to him. At first he thought they may not have noticed him yet, but then they both threw their cards and the table and turned to frown at him.
"You owe me five bucks, di Angelo. I told you he would cause problems first."
"Why did you run off, Fabius? Because don't think we don't know what you're doing here", grunted Nico, ignoring the other god's demands. "Percy told us that he got Blackjack to bring you to Leo's if one of you tries to do something stupid on your own."
"I'm not doing something stupid!", protested Fabius and balled his fists. "Atti did!"
The half-Italian raised an eyebrow at that and got up. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"We have been playing Capture the Flag, what my team was totally winning, when grandpa and dad came and they have been screaming at each other that mommy will die and then Atti ran off! But I know mommy won't die, because mommy is strong, so I need to find Atti before mommy is better, because otherwise he will worry about her!", declared the son of Perseus in a loud voice, tears shining in his eyes, his fists shaking. "She's my big sister, I have to take care of her!"
Nico froze for a second, a flashback hitting him. He remembered vividly how he had stood before Percy that night at camp and declared that he had to protect his big sister. The last night he had seen Bianca alive. He shook his head and laid a hand on Fabius' shoulder.
"Don't worry, we'll help you search for her. Together we'll find her", reassured the Ghost God.
"And your mom is one fierce dude, he won't let anything kill him", grinned the Latino softly. "So you're right and we have to find your sister before Percy is better, because otherwise we'll have one pissed-off Rain God after our asses."
The boy still looked at the verge of crying. Nico stood and got out of his Aviator jacket, his fingers tenderly caressing the worn-out piece of clothes. Then he laid it around Fabi's shoulder.
"This is a very special jacket", whispered the half-Italian.
"R... Really?", asked Fabius curiously and rubbed his eyes. "Why?"
"My big sister gave it to me and it makes you strong. So strong that you can protect your sister. My sister had a husband now to protect her. But you, you expect two more sister now. So I'll give it to you so you can protect your sisters."
It was only a half lie. He hadn't been able to protect Bianca, because he had not been with her. He won't let that happen to Fabius. The boy would find his sister and be able to protect her. Just as Nico had been doing with Hazel for years now. A small smile spread over the child's face.
"Thank you, uncle Nico! Now I certainly can find her! Come, we need to hurry!", urged the son of Poseidon and grabbed both their hands to pull them out of the house.
Leo threw a concerned glare over his shoulder at the biggest palace on mount Olympus, knowing that somewhere inside of it, Percy was being in major pain, not knowing about the dangers in which his kids had thrown themselves now. The Fire God turned to the other god.
"We really need to hurry", muttered the Latino.
Nico gritted his teeth and nodded. He was confident that Percy was strong and could pull through everything. But he had also been confident that Bianca was strong. Some things are too big, regardless of how strong a hero was. Nico sighed desperately.
/break\
Thalia sighed desperately, staring at the sleeping child in Annabeth's arms.
"What are we supposed to do with her?", muttered the head huntress.
"I have no idea", grunted Piper across from her and frowned. "We should find her brother first. If we return her without him, Olympus will get torn down by Percy."
"If Percy is going to live through this", whispered the blonde huntress darkly.
"Don't say things like these", hissed Thalia irritated. "It's Percy. He won't die."
/break\
"It's Percy!", exclaimed Apollo wide-eyed. "He will die!"
Both Triton and Poseidon lifted their heads to stare at the Sun God. They were sitting on either side of their unconscious lover, listening to the pained sounds Percy made.
"He's flat-lining!", hissed the blonde god and pushed them out of the way. "Seriously, have you never watched a hospital-soap?"
The Sun God cursed in every language he knew as he did his best to reanimate the Sea Prince. This day was so fucked up. He had no idea what to do.
/break\
He had no idea what to do. With a heavy sigh he combed his fingers through his hair.
"If you were a six-years-old girl, where would you be, Valdez?", muttered Nico.
"Why are you asking me?", snorted the Fire God sitting on the pegasus.
"I know where we should start searching!", interrupted Fabius irritated, sitting in front of the Latino. "That's where I wanted to go, but Blacky insisted on bringing us here."
"Okay", nodded Leo curiously. "Where to start, boy wonder?"
"The hunters!", exclaimed the son of Perseus wide-eyed. "Atti always goes to auntie Annabeth."
Leo and Nico stared at each other before they nodded. The son of Hades climbed onto the pegasus' back, closing his eyes in concentration. As the god of ghosts, he was able to feel souls. And since the huntresses were a whole bunch of souls he knew well, it would be easy to find them.
"Okay, Blackjack, I got them", nodded Nico. "Germany, Black Forest. I'll be able to narrow it down once we're closer! Let's get going!"
/break\
"Let's stay for now", suggested Piper with wrinkled eyebrows. "We don't know where Fabius is, but he's a clever boy, I guess he'll figure out how to find his sister."
Annabeth nodded slowly, pulling the jacket closer around the sleeping girl in her lap. The child was only wearing the camp shirt and a green-died jeans. A bit thin considering that it was winter in Germany. They were here because of a little vacation, enjoying the Black Forest for a regular hunt for a change. She ran her hands through the black hair, so much like Percy's. Jumping in surprise, she looked up as something crashed down onto the ground in front of her. Piper and Thalia had their bows ready and aimed at the intruder, just to blink surprised and lower them again.
"Fabi... Did you just fall from the sky...?", asked the daughter of Zeus dumbfounded.
"No, he just jumped off the pegasus", snorted another voice.
Blackjack landed on the ground next to the fire and both Leo and Nico climbed down. They glared down at the sleeping child on Annabeth's lap. The daughter of Athena blinked pained as she locked eyes with the Ghost Prince. Nico was the first to avert his eyes.
"Atti, you stupid dummy!", screamed Fabi and poked his sister.
Attina blinked and turned to look at her younger sibling. And then she looked away in guilt.
"They said mom will die...", whispered the older child of Perseus. "But he's our mom..."
Soft, blue eyes locked with teary sea-green ones and Fabius hugged his older sister.
"Mommy will be alright, mommy will always be alright", whispered the blonde boy.
"That's right, children!", exclaimed Leo and clapped his hands. "And that exactly is the reason why we have to get you to Olympus as fast as possible! As much as I enjoy the company of you beautiful ladies, there is someone waiting for their children!"
The huntresses nodded. The Ghost God lifted his godson up onto the pegasus while Annabeth helped her goddaughter up. With a broad grin on his lips, the Latino followed.
"Leo, you will go with them. Hurry. I'll shadow-travel", ordered Nico and turned some. "Oh, and Valdez. You owe me five bucks now!"
Laughing at that, the Fire God shook his head as the be-winged horse took off. It went silent once the flapping of the wings was out of reach. Thalia stared at the daughter of Aphrodite meaningfully and the two left slowly. Wrapping her arms around herself, her gray eyes were still fixed on the point where they had last seen the two kids.
"You know", whispered Nico, speaking for the first time since the break-up three years ago with his ex-girlfriend. "It's good she takes so much after you. Because even when she's being irrational, she's... still being rational about it. Instead of running off to no-one knows where, she goes to you, where she knows she'll be safe."
"I know", chuckled the blonde girl and shook her head.
The laugh died down on her tongue, being replaced by sobs. She slowly slid down onto the snow, feeling strong arms wrapping around her shoulder.
"He'll be fine, Annie", whispered the Ghost God. "You know him, he'll be fine."
"But... But what if he's not?", sobbed Annabeth. "I can't loose Percy, he's my best friend..."
/break\
"I can't loose Percy", growled the daughter of Ares darkly. "He's my best friend."
"I know, babe", murmured Chris and kissed her softly.
"And what am I supposed to say, Clarisse?", grunted the satyr a bit irritated and gritted his teeth. "He's my best friend too. And instead of walking nervously up and down in front of his room, I have to search for his stubborn children!"
"That guy seriously got too many best friends", snickered Connor and shook his head.
"Yeah. And then he pulls one like these and gets everyone worried. Just like back then when he got himself kidnapped by Lady Hera", nodded Travis.
"And in the end, he's always alright and everybody is relieved", added his brother once again.
The five of them were searching places they knew the children of Perseus liked. Even though the Stolls were joking, they still frowned a bit once the others had their backs turned on them.
"Maybe we should check with camp", muttered the older Stoll a bit uncomfortable.
"Maybe they have news", nodded his brother and searched for a coin in his pocket.
Chris nodded at them, busy calming his wife down while his half-brothers IMed camp. The satyr watched them giddily once they returned, looking a bit irritated.
"Chiron told us that the huntresses had called and said that they found the kids and that Leo brought them to camp. So we've been running around here for the last hour completely for nothing!", grunted Connor annoyed. "Time to return."
"No", growled Clarisse and shook her head. "You go alone. I have somewhere else to be."
She turned around to face the peanut-colored pegasus whining at her. Patting his muzzle, she had to suppress tears. Scipio was hers now, because she had already lost a very dear friend. She would not loose another. Not today. Not Percy. Then she turned to the Lord of the Wild.
"Are you coming with me, Grover?", it was more like a rhetorical question.
Grover nodded and climbed the pegasus together with her. They took off, leaving the three protesting sons of Hermes on their own. They had to be there when their best friend woke up.
/break\
They were there when their best friend woke up.
All of them. Annabeth was walking up and down in front of the bedchamber, being observed by a highly annoyed daughter of Ares. Grover was nervously chewing on one curtain, the other already half-eaten. Leo and Nico were busy glaring at the door.
And then, finally, after what felt like eternity, the door opened and Apollo came out. He was covered in golden ichor, looking worn-out and dead on his feet. The five bolted up.
"Is he...? Does he...?", stuttered the daughter of Athena a bit green around the nose.
"He's fine", nodded Apollo. "You can come and see him. But please, silent. He needs rest."
The five nearly ran him over as they entered the bedroom. There, on the big bed, laid Percy, covered in sweat, pale and if not for the barely visible heaving of the chest, one would have thought he was dead. Left on his chest was Attina's head rested, on the right side laid Fabius snuggled close to him, all three of them sleeping peacefully. Triton and Poseidon were standing beside the bed, turning to them, each holding a little bundle in their hands.
"Hello", whispered the older god, caressing the pale skin of the little baby in his arms. "Aquata, it's time to meet the rest of your family. Those are your uncles Leo, Nico and Grover and those are your aunts Clarisse and Annabeth."
"And this", smiled Triton, shifting the green-skinned baby a bit. "Is Alana."
"Hey you two", smiled Annabeth, poking Aquata's nose.
"You caused more trouble before you were born than any other kid I know", muttered Clarisse and shook her head. "I hope you'll behave now that you're here."
"I hope those two rascals will behave too", grunted Nico and glared at the two sleeping children.
He smiled slightly as he noticed that Fabius was still wearing the Aviator jacket.
"What's that supposed to mean...?", murmured a tired and exhausted voice. "They didn't misbehave, did they...?"
"Perseus, you're awake!", gasped Triton relieved and sat down on the bed next to his husband.
He ran one hand over the eternal teen's heated skin. The Rain God smiled weakly at him.
"Did they... Are they alright?", asked Percy slightly frightened.
The merman nodded slowly and showed him the baby in his arms. Poseidon sat down on his son's other side, showing little Aquata. Both babies giggled as they saw their mother.
"They're beautiful", whispered the Sea Prince slightly surprised.
He shifted some, trying to sit up, but the weight of his two older children stopped him. That and the cries of his friends. He looked up in slight surprise, staring at them.
"What are you guys doing here?", asked Percy confused. "You look like shit."
"That's your fault, Jackson", grunted Clarisse and shook her head. "You had us worried here."
"Yeah. Never pull such a stunt again, or I might get a godly heart-attack", agreed Leo.
"Really?", muttered the Rain God. "What happened?"
"It... didn't look good for you", murmured his father, tracing Percy's cheek-bones. "We thought we would loose you... You and the children... But then Leo brought Fabius and Attina and... Somehow, you got better... I have no idea why though..."
"That's because they're channeling me", smiled Percy and leaned down to kiss his kids.
"Channeling?", repeated Triton a bit confused.
As the others in the room looked equally confused, the Sea Prince frowned.
"You know how the bond between a mother and her child is a strong one. With gods and their fully-godly children, it's even stronger. With a water-bound deity, it's the strongest. We follow the same flow, the same currents. Imagine emotions and energy as sea-currents and if my currents are in disarray, they can set them at ease again, because we're in sync. We share the same ocean."
"I... didn't know that", muttered Poseidon surprised. "Why didn't I know that?"
"Perhaps because Amphitrite never told you. What do you think why she still insists on seeing Triton at least once a month? And why I never disagreed to that, even though I hate her. But I know the bond she shares with Triton", whispered the Rain God.
"So... Your kids saved your life?", asked Grover slowly.
"My little heroes", grinned Percy and ruffled his children's hair.
"Wait. Is that the reason why Apollo had send us to fetch the two?", asked Poseidon slowly.
"I guess so. He know", nodded the Sea Prince. "But he probably didn't tell you to not give you any false hope. Guess it really didn't look good for me there."
He was interrupted by firm lips pressing against his. "Never do that to me again, Perseus."
Percy smiled softly and turned some, knowing his father was at his other side. The older god leaned in and stole a kiss of his own. Sighing contently, the eternal teen leaned back some.
"Never frighten us like that again, Perce", murmured Poseidon.
"I guess", smirked the merman. "That means we have to make more kids to ensure they can keep you safe in such a case."
"I guess so", laughed his consort amused.
His five friends were exchanging some meaningful glances before nodding.
"We will take our leave again", announced Leo. "You need time to rest, Percy."
"Yes. And Leo owns me five gold drachma, which he will pay back to me in form of vine. Now. At the muses' bar", added the Ghost God and laid one arm around the other god's shoulder.
"It's... good to see you alive, Percy", smiled Grover.
"I'll inform Chiron and camp that everything is fine and that there are two new campers awaiting their first summer", grinned Clarisse, ruffling Percy's hair.
"I'm glad you're alright", whispered Annabeth as she pulled her best friend into a tight hug.
"I'll drop by, as soon as my two overly protective lovers will let me out of bed again. And for once that doesn't even imply anything perverted", grunted the Sea Prince with a pout.
"Oh please, no such comments!", yelped Leo and shuddered. "I don't want to hear such a thing!"
"Yep, time to leave", nodded Grover with a chuckle.
Together they went outside, closing the door slowly. Percy smiled after them before looking from one of his lovers to the other. Both of them reached over to place the babies between their older children so they could snuggle up to their mother. They then laid down themselves, hugged the older kids and kissing Percy's cheeks softly.
"I... Never before have I ever felt as frightened as in the past few hours", murmured Poseidon.
"I'm alright", smiled the former demi-god.
His eyes wandered over his little family, enjoying how peaceful they were looking. Though then his eyes caught two things on his son which bothered him.
"Did he dye his hair?", grunted Percy with a frown, then glaring at his husband and at his father. "I have to stay on Olympus for a few months and you allow our son to dye his hair? Are you out of your minds? Seriously, how did you two even cope in the past! You can't allow a five-years-old to get blue streaks in his hair!"
"We didn't allow-", started the merman slowly, just to be interrupted.
"And why is Fabi wearing the most valuable possession of Nico? What did they mean with the ruckus our kids caused? What happened? Something must have happened!"
"Perhaps they ran away", muttered the Sea God guiltily.
"Perhaps!", yelped Percy wide-eyed. "Perhaps they ran away? Can't you watch them, not even for a few months? How is this supposed to go with the twins now!"
"Mommy...? Don't fight with daddy and grandpa", murmured the sleepy voice of his son.
Percy blinked and looked down at him, suddenly smiling softly. Everything was good.
