Chapter 6: Birth of Jason Brandon di Angelo Grace

PERCY WAS RIGHT; THIS DOES SUCK, Nico di Angelo thought as his wife, Thalia di Angelo, née Grace, yelled some cuss words that will not be mentioned here.

After 5 hours of labor (yeah... the baby didn't want to get out) and 6 punches Thalia gave her husband in places that hurt badly, the baby finally got out. A nurse took him away, leaving a nervous son of Hades and a tired and angry daughter of Zeus behind.

"So..." Nico twirled his fingers.

"I still blame you for the pain you brought me, di Angelo."

"I know."

"Good. Hand me over your iPod. I need to listen to some Green Day."

Nico chuckled. "Sorry, I think I left it at home since my wife was yelling at me to hurry up and take her to the hospital."

Thalia rolled her eyes.

"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. di Angelo. Your baby boy is beautiful," the nurse announced as she reentered the room with a much-too-big smile, holding a baby boy in a black blanket. The nurse handed the baby boy to Thalia and winked at Nico. Thalia glared at her.

"I'll leave you three alone," the nurse said, rushing out of the room. Thalia smirked.

"You scared her away," Nico accused jokily, in which Thalia shrugged, looking at her son fondly, her electric blue eyes meeting identical blue eyes. Thalia smiled.

"He has my eyes," she said, and she couldn't keep the touched part of her voice out.

"And your skin and hair. Kind of." Nico smiled. "What should we call him?"

"Jason," Thalia said without hesitation.

"Why?" Nico looked at his wife for explanation. Thalia looked at their son.

"When I was 7," she finally said in a quiet voice, "after my mother told me Jason was dead, I swore to myself that if I would ever have a son, I would name him after my brother—to honor my baby brother. And even though I've found out that Jason is still alive... well, I don't really want to break my oath."

Nico grabbed her hand. "Hey, it's alright. Jason will be our son's name. And his middle name... Brandon!"

"Brandon?"

"I like it."

Thalia smiled. "So do I." She passed Jason to Nico, which made Nico smile and start to talk to their son.

Soon afterwards, Jason fell asleep in his father's arms. Nico kissed his forehead and looked up to hand the grandson of Hades and Zeus to his mother, to see Thalia sleeping. Smiling, Nico whispered, "I love you both."

Thalia smiled, cracked one eyelid open, and whispered, "So do I."

Jason Brandon di Angelo Grace, son of Nico and Thalia di Angelo. Grandson of Hades and Zeus.

*::*::*

Yes, I am a Thalico fan. Before you go flaming that Thalico sucks, let me tell you why I love Thalico:

Thalia and Nico are really alike. And since Thalia's a Hunter, she can wait until Nico's 16 to go out with him. I cannot deny that Thuke didn't happen (the Titan's Curse proves it) but Thuke is history now that Luke is dead. But Rico? I'm sorry, but I am not a Rico shipper. Never was, never will. For one, Rachel is older than Nico by 4 or 5 years. Second, Rachel is the Oracle, which means zero dating. Third, I AM A RAPOLLO SHIPPER. :D

I'm sorry for those Rico and Thuke shippers out there, but I just don't like those pairings.

To SakuandSyao-CLAMPGirlForever: I totally agree!

To Thalia Marie Grace: Weird!

To Iamtotallyluvinmylife: Exactly. All because of Percy's hunger.

To Seagreenlovelyeyes: You just read it.

To oceanblue10: Patience. They'll come soon.
