A/N: Whoa, this came outta nowhere! Sorry I've been…well not around. My life's a mess, per usual, but I'm in my last semester of Uni so it's a bit more of mess. Last night I was in a car accident (I'm okay! Just some light bruising and soreness), but I owed it to myself to sit back and relax. That ended up with another chapter to Baby Problems. It picks up right after chapter 2. I hope you all like it!

Warnings: This hasn't been edited. Captain America 2 reference. Slight cursing. Di Angelo jealousy (from Nico and Damien)

"Be sure to stop by soon, Nico," requested Persephone, giving him and Damien a kiss on both their cheeks. Damien squirmed away from the kiss, only liking it when his parents touched him. "Just like your grandfather."

Hades snorted. "Hush woman." He turned to his son. "Be safe."

"Of course. I'm not the Ghost King for nothing," chuckled Nico, catching Damien's waving hand before a finger jabbed him in the eye. Damien huffed, but left it at that.

"Get rid of that arrogance Nicolò. Heroes get killed that way," admonished Persephone, propping a hand on her hip as she waved the index finger on her other hand. "And you young man, will not be killed because of it. Understand?"

Nico chuckled. "Yes ma'am." He shared a look with his Father. Even if he were killed, it wouldn't stop Nico from visiting them. It was the Underworld after all. Turning to the gabbing babe in his arms, he adjusted his grip. "C'mon. Let's get you back to your mother. Knowing him…fuck."

Before Persephone could scold him for cursing, he shadow traveled back to the place he and Percy called home. He appeared in the doorway between the kitchen and the living room.

"On your left!"

Damien squealed in happiness as Nico spun out of the way with his quick footwork, holding Damien close. One of the Stoll twins cackled as he ran by, jumping onto the couch beside Frank.

"The-"

"On your left!"

This time it was the other twin who made himself comfortable on the ground by his twin's feet. This is why he never bothered to learn how to distinguish the twins. Too much of a pain in the ass, especially when they're on some type of phase. Currently, they were on their Captain America: The Winter Soldier Phase. It's a good movie, hands down no argument from Nico. But the Stolls take it to a whole new level.

"The hell is going on?" asked Nico glaring at all the people in his living room with no Percy to be found. "Start talking."

"Well," started Leo, licking chocolate off of his fingers. "Percy sent us all a text with a cute video on it."

"It was barf-tastic di Angelo," sneered Clarisse, throwing the popcorn at him. "Who knew you had it in you."

Silena shushed her, getting Nico's attention next. "Ignore her Nico. I thought it was sweet to see the love between you and your son."

"I don't think I've ever seen you so proud," added Frank. Beside him sat Hazel, stretched out comfortably.

"Damien was adorable too!"

Nico closed his eyes and counted back from five. Once he was calm, he opened them and pinned all of them with his 'death glare'. "And you're here why?"

"I invited them," piped up Percy from behind him. Percy came forward to stand beside him. "Welcome home!"

Nico's glare weakened at the sight of Percy, but when he heard the chuckled behind him as Percy kissed his cheek in greeting, his anger flared back up.

"Ma!" clapped Damien, making grabby hands. Nico handed Damien over without a word, turned his back, and left through a shadow.

"Uh oh," mumbled Percy as Nico's back disappeared completely. He turned to Damien who was contentedly playing with Percy's beaded necklace. "I think I made your daddy more angry."

"Ah c'mon Perce," grinned Grover, throwing an arm over Percy's shoulder. "He's just a little bit upset that we all saw the 'soft' side of our resident Ghost King."

Damien looked up at Grover with a frown he learned from his Daddy. Percy smiled, kissing Damien's forehead. Damien looked over at Percy for a second, but then back to Grover and his offending arm.

"Where da?"

"Slashing things," explained Grover leading Percy back to the living room. Percy found a spot, somehow on the couch with Damien in his lap. They were all gathered around ready to play Iron Man 3.

Five minutes into the movie, Damien had had enough. There were strange people who Mommy called 'friends' who kept touching him and Mommy. Daddy wasn't there, and he couldn't hear him. Maybe he was in the bathroom?

Wiggling out of Percy's lap he reached the floor. The muscles in his legs weren't strong enough to hold his weight without extra-support yet so he plopped on to the floor. But with the muscles that he's trained to crawl like a champion, he began to look through the apartment under the gaze of his ever-vigilant mother.

"Da-eee?"

"What's he doing?"

Percy smiled. "Looking for his daddy."

"I'll get him," frowning Leo made to get up, but Percy stopped him. "Percy?"

"Wait for it."

Damien crawled the whole apartment, but still no Daddy! "Da?"

No answer.

"Da-eee!"

"By the gods Damien," huffed Nico as he appeared and scooped Damien into his arms. "What?"

"Da-eee! Ma!" Damien pointed to the couch where everyone jumped at the sudden attention from both Di Angelo males.

"I see," commented Nico, not looking away. "All of you have ten seconds to get out of here before you all meet my father earlier than you wanted too."

Grover spluttered as the twins booked it before Nico even finished his threat. "Some of us aren't Stoll quick or can teleport!"

"Five seconds."

The front door slammed shut.

Damien nodded. "Gu."

Laughing, Nico joined Percy on the couch, putting his arm around Percy's shoulders. Percy cuddled into Nico's side, a hand resting on Damien's stomach. Damien reclined in his Daddy's lap, his two hands clutching on to his Mommy's hand as he drifted to sleep.

"He's asleep," whispered Percy.

"Finally," groaned Nico. "Not only did he crawl all over Cerberus, he somehow ended up near the door to Tartarus-"

"He what?!" hissed Percy sitting up.

"-Persephone caught him, but you know how he doesn't liked to be touched by others. Then he began screaming and crying. He even affected the Elysian Fields with all that bawling."

"Nico."

The Italian shook his head. "Not today Percy. Let's just sit here, watch Robert Downey Jr. play himself, and be a family. I'm too tired to explain the hurricane that is your son."

"But-"

"Shhh," shushed Nico gently before he kissed Percy on the lips. A few moments later, he pulled back. "You still owe me for showing that video."

"You said 'no internet'. You didn't say anything about 'no texting'."

"Cheeky!"

"Da-eee, shhhh!"
