P.O.V Percy
-Queen Nicolo, Queen Perceus would you like something else?- asked us the waitress as she put down our plates for us. I was having peperoni pizza with blue cheese while Nico was ordered pasta with meatball.
-No, thank you Stella- my friend answered with a smile, I like those.
Even after the war against Kronos he didn't smile a lot, only after starting his relationship with Zeus that Nico seem to be truly happy especially this last seven months of pregnancy. I know that it is stupid to feel jealous but I hate to know that I couldn't make my brother happy. I who was by his side all this time, who had his back during all our fights,who took care of him when he got sick but I knew that I was being irrational. Zeus made Nico happy in a lovers that something that I will never be able do... and I was glad for that.
-I can't believe them!- muttered Clarrise next to me- They only care about both of you, the rest of us are just to decorate.
-Stop it la Rue!- warned her Connor- The last thing we want is to cause a problem and make stress our pregnant friends.
-Also,they are the Queen of Olympus and Atlantis- commented Malcom- Of course, the waitress would only pay attention to them.
I smiled at the picture in front of me. When I accepted to marry Triton I feared the thought of loosing my friends. But now here in the best restaurant of Olympus, I was relived to see that nothing changed because I turned into a God.
My smile flickered a bit when I noticed that something was messing. Across of Clarrise and Chris were Connor and Mitchel, next to them there were Malcom and Miranda, in front of the latter couple were Travis and Kate. Who were sitting next to Will and Jake, who were chatting happily across the table with Lou Ellen and Cecil.
- Is there something wrong seaweed brain?- looking at my left I saw a smirking Talhia, "seaweed brain...".
-Brother?- at the head of the table sat Nico, showing his place as the second most important God- Are you ok?
-Where is Anabeth?- at my question Grover and Juniper stopped ogling each other from across the table and looked at me in sadness.
- Percy... she didn't want to see you- Talhia began- This last year had been a lot for her, especially when she found out you were pregnant with your brother/husband's Talhia
-She is taking it worse than you think- we all looked worriedly and confused at Grover's comment- She said that she wished that she had never lost her virginity because she wanted to became a huntress... she even told Juniper that the only thing I'll do is break her heart.
-She what?- I whispered brokenly. Anabeth had been my best friend ever since I was twelve, she had always have my back during all this time... and the only thing I do is break her heart!- Nico can't you talk with Aphrodite so she could make Anabeth fall un love with again?
-Percy you better than no one knows how Aphrodite games end up- he told me with the wisdom of a true Queen, but apologizibutwith his eyes-Ah!- he suddenly shouted in pain. When he touched his belly I began to think the worse- I... ah! My water broke!- everyone at our table stood up- They are coming!
-Everyone move!- ordered Will- Give him space to breath!- he ran towards Nico side and helped him to stand up- Percy could you transport us to my father's infirmary?
I didn't even bother to answer before snapping my fingers and transporting everyone of us to the infirmary-Mom?!- Apollo exclaimed suprised, I still don't get used to the fact that almost all of Nico's step-children call her mom... mine call me that as well so I can't be that surprised.
-His water broke- Will told his father at the edge of panic.
-Quickly lay him down- Apollo began to give out orders- Bring me some towels, warm water... and someone fucking call my father!
Now that I looked at Nico's full of hurt eyes and Apollo's fearful ones, I was beginning to understand how important this was... Nico might die today.
P.O.V Zeus
Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon and I were laughing and drinking happily. I still couldn't believe that after eons of fighting and trying to kill each other, we were acting as siblings.
However, the peaceful moment was broken by my son barging in the throne room shouting- Father! Nico is giving birth!
The glass of sound breaking resonated through the silent room. In my shock I had dropped the glass of wine- What?- was the only thing I was able to modulate after my brain prosessed the information.
-He was due into two months!- exclaimed my oldest brother.
-Well my little brothers are as impatient as my father and wanted to get out before time!-Hermes shouted- What I know is that I can not stand more of Nico's scream of pain demanding to see his husband!
As soon as those words left my son's lips, I transported myself to Apollo's infirmary- Father!
-Dike?! What are you doing here?- I asked my daughter surprised.
-We all heard about mom's... position and we wanted to be here for him- she answered.
It was then when I noticed that all my children were there to give Nico their support. "Thank you my love... thank you so much for changing us for the better".
-Father!- Artemis called me-Get inside that step-mother needs you!- I stood there shocked at my daughter. Until now she had only called Nico by his name-Hurry up!
I snapped out of my trance and rushed inside... paipling at the scene I saw.
Nico was laying down covered in sweat and blood with an expression that showed how much he was suffering- That's it mom just a little... the head is out!- Apollo exclaimed excitedly- The rest will be easy, just keep on pushing.
-Zeus- the love of my life murmured breathless when his eyes landed on me. I had never seen him more gorgeous than that at that moment- You came.
-Of course I came-I replied stepping by his side. I had to swallow a scream of pain when Nico grabbed my hand and squeezed hard- I wouldn't loose the birth of my sons for nothing.
-One more push Nico!- dememand Artemis.
-Ah!- screamed my husband in pain but shut up when a baby's cry was heard- Is he...
-He is a perfectly healthy boy and by his grip he will be a strong God- Apollo said making me beam in pride when he handed my... no our son to Nico.
-He has your eyes and hair- my husband told me in amazement- What are we going to name him?- I looked deep into his eyes and found my answer.
-Jason- I told my husband, who looked at me surprised- It was Hera's favorite hero. She who kept this family unhappy is going to pay for it, starting by naming the first born baby of this happy family by the name of the human she adored the most.
-Perfect- breathed Nico.
-Revenge- sumerized Artemis with a wicked smirk.
-Ah!- shouted Nico making Jason cry harder- Zeus take the baby!- I did as I was ordered.
-Mom you'll need to start pushing again- Artemis told my husband.
-But I don't have energies- Nico said.
Even though Nico seemed like almost fainting he did his best to bring our other son to life. "Ironic... the son of the God of the Undetworld fighting to make life".
-One last push!- said Artemis and the next thing I heard was a baby crying- It is healthy... he will need some more nutrients but he will beddenl-Artemis handed the baby to Nico.
Suddenly Apollo took Jason from my arms. At the beginning I didn't know why,but when I gazed down on my husband I knew the reason.
-Octavian- Nico murmured as my daughter took our son from his arms- His name is Octavian- with tears falling down his face he looked at me and pecked my lips- Take care of them... of all your children for me...
-Stop it!- I ordered with my own tears falling down my face- You'll get better... and we will raise Jason and Octavian together.
- I... I love you... Ze...
Nico stopped breathing and the entire world meant nothing to me- Nico... wake up! Nico!
