For simping4thaliagrace . Here's part two.

Nico's POV:

"Come on Will! We're going to be late." I said from the bottom of the stairs

"I'm coming." He said

"I'm tired of standing and if I sit down, I'm never getting up ever again." I said

"Here." He said

I was given a black bag. It's our go bag just in case. I'm barely 8 months pregnant, but Will doesn't want to take chances. He got towels and a bag. We both walked out to the car. He was carrying both things. I got into the car, the car seat still in the trunk. We decided we should keep it there until the baby comes.

We drove to Percy and Annabeth's place. We got out the car and Will helped me. It's getting harder for me to move, so it's hard to even get into a car. We walked to the front door. Will was supporting me his hand on the swell of my bump.

"Thank you both for coming. Sorry this was so last minute." Annabeth said

"You told us three days in advance though." I said

"I know. I should have told you four days." She complained

Mariana came over to us and I smiled when she hung onto Annabeth's leg. Will crouched down and she hid her face in Annabeth's dress.

"It's okay. You remember Uncle Will and Uncle Nico." Annabeth said

"Can we come in?" I asked

She let us in and Percy grabbed Mariana making her fly. She giggled and I sat on the couch rubbing my huge stomach. Percy gave her to me promising to be back in four hours.

Will took her from me setting her onto the floor. They played an intense game of hide and seek. I rubbed my bump getting a harsh kick from the baby inside of me.

"Are you okay?" Will asked

I must have made a face or something. I smiled and nodded. He continued to play with Mariana and her toys. She was so confused that the door kept closing and opening when Will moved it.

Two hours later

"Hey, Will?" I asked

"Yeah." He said

"I think I'm in labor." I said standing in the hallway.

He dropped the toy he was holding coming over to me. He crouched down eye level with my stomach. He felt around for a minute trying to see if I was right. Mariana was crying since the toy Will had dropped had accidentally hit her.

"Yeah. You're in labor. I'm not just saying that since your water just broke all over their rug." Will said "This is entirely based of of facts and research."

"Please call them." I said

On the phone

Percy: Hey, what's up Will?

Will: Nothing much. How far out are both of you?

Percy: Like 2 hours. There was this accident and we are all being redirected. Why? Is Mariana okay?

Will: She's fine. Nico's in labor though.

Percy: Take him to the hospital.

Will: We both know he's not going to leave Mariana here or go to the hospital with her.

Percy: Try to convince him or check to see how dilated he is. Annabeth just told me we should go to the hospital if he is over 4 cm.

Will: Okay. I'll check. Thanks.

Percy: You're welcome. Bye.

Will: Bye

"I need to check you. Do you want to be checked here or somewhere more private?" Will asked

I clutched my bump sitting forward. He carefully removed my hands letting me grab onto him. I grabbed onto him trying not to do anything loud.

"Check me here. Just make sure she doesn't see anything. I don't need to know her childhood traumas came from me." I said when my contraction ended

Will checked me covering me. I love him so much. I let him rub my bump when he told me I was three centimeters. I nodded and said we could wait until Percy and Annabeth got home.

They showed up two hours later when I was having a pretty bad contraction. Mariana was sleeping in the crib in the living room. Will was helping me stand and whispering sweet nothings in my ear.

"Hey, how far apart are your contractions?" Annabeth asked quietly

"They are like a minute apart I think. I stopped counting them." Will said kissing my cheek

"Nico you look like Tartarus." Percy said

"Yeah. Well, a tiny human is trying to fit through a place that is way to tiny." I said

I groaned into Will's chest muffling the sound. He cradled me trying to help in any way he could. I was set down on their couch by Percy who had picked me up.

"I need you to talk to me. How are you feeling? Do you think you can make it to the hospital in time? Do you need anything?" Percy asked

"I'm okay. It hurts like nothing I've ever felt. I'm pretty sure I can make it to the hospital if we leave right now and I don't need anything. Except for maybe pain meds or some sort of epidural." I said

"Percy, drive us please." Will said

"I will. I'll be back." He said to Annabeth

Will helped me sit up and I started to cry. Annabeth took Mariana out so she wouldn't wake up. Will stroked my cheeks telling me it was alright. I gripped the armrest trying so hard not to scream. The contraction ended and Will helped me up. He picked me up easily since he was used to dragging campers to safety.

"Open the door." Will said

Percy opened the door and Will gently set me in the back with a towel under me. He got in next to me and we headed for the hospital. I moaned gripping onto Will.

"Please drive faster. His contractions are getting too close for my liking." Will said

"It hurts." I whimpered and Percy glanced back at me

"Make a right!" Will said

Percy missed the right. I clutched onto the door trying so hard to ignore the urge to push. I've had it for a bit, but it's worse now.

"I can't wait any longer." I said

"For what? You can't wait any longer..." Will said

"Will he's going to start pushing." Percy said

"Pull over." I said to Percy

"No. Nico, please try to not push." Will said

Will's POV:

Nico said he has to push and I can't let him push. I've only delivered one baby plus, I didn't have any personal connection to Mellie.

"I'll get the towels. Percy, sir him up. It will be easier for him to push that way. Let him lean on you." I said

I laid Nico down. He was sweating and overall not doing good. We should be at a hospital or somewhere else. Not on the side of the road. Nico's pants had started to bulge some. The baby is super close.

"You should be at hospital with the best doctors." I said "Now, you're doing this with no help at all."

"I have the best doctor with me though. I'm hardly alone." Nico said

He pulled me down kissing me passionately.

"Don't stress yourself out. This is natural." I said rubbing his hips to try and relax him

"Will, you need to promise me that if anything happens you will save the baby." Nico said

"Nico-" I started

"Promise!" Nico said

"I promise." I agreed

The bulge had grown a lot, so I took down Nico's pants. Percy was holding Nico up wiping his sweaty forehead as I put a thin blanket over Nico's lower half. It made it more private for him. I rubbed the inside of his thigh encouraging him to push. He held Percy's hands as he pushed.

I waited watching as our baby emerged. Nico's face was beet red as he huffed his breathing pattern off again. I supported the baby's head as the little body started to emerge.

He leaned back on Percy entirely not pushing even though he tended his thighs when he got a contraction. Percy wiped his forehead grabbing stuff from the bags we had. He wet part of a towel dabbing Nico's head.

Nico pushed again screaming when the baby came out. He leaned back his eyes closed and a beautiful smile on his face. The baby let out some watery cries.

I handed the baby to Nico. A healthy baby girl. We didn't want to know the gender since we wanted it to be a surprise. I kissed him as he stroked the baby.

I delivered the afterbirth and Percy drove us to the hospital. Even though our birthing plan did not go well, I wouldn't have changed it. Especially since that's how we got her name.

She was born on Lydia avenue 18000. So, we welcomed a healthy baby girl named Lydia Solace into the world on January 20 at 10:43 PM.
