and final chapter.. gasp

By - CatsAreFluffy

So sorry for not updating for months. Been busy and writer's block is killing me... Plus things have been really crappy but I'm slowly getting better. Thanks for sticking around, guys! All of your reviews are motivating me to get back into writing and I deeply thank you for giving me that inspiration to continue. cx

Nico's Pov

I felt the air being squeezed out of my lungs. I couldn't breathe. Is she trying to suffocate me for dating her son? Not my fault he fell in love with the amazing Nico Di Angelo. I felt a warmth I never felt before. My eyes were shut tightly closed, trying to savor the warmth as my breath slowly came back. Suddenly the warmth disappeared and I whimpered at the loss.

I found myself looking in the eyes of Sally Jackson. Then I remembered. Percy just outed both of us to his mom and stepdad. She almost killed me with her hug. Remind me to not mess with her. Oooh scary, she might kill you with hugs. Well I can kill you with shadows, so haha! Nico for the win!

"Oh, I'm so proud of you, Percy," Paul sighed, patting his son's shoulder. Well, stepson, since Poseidon is his father. You know what, not the point. Sally looked at me, her lips forming a tight frown. I froze up. Oh-gods-she-hates-me-oh-gods-I-should-leave-oh gods-oh-sweet-mother-of-gods.. Then she looked at my abdomen concerned. What the hell? I know I'm fat but um.. No need to stare. No touchy, no starey. Okay maybe a little bit of touchy, I already want that warmth back.. Maybe I'll just curl up closer to Percy tonight. He's like a huge teddy bear, I swear.. If Percy is such a cuddly teddy bear, then Frank must be like Elysium.. Kudos to my sister dear, Hazel.

"My god, I was able to feel your ribs.." She mumbled, concerned.. Mothers... I'm going to get a lot of crap from her considering how much I'm eating? You wanna know how many people told me that? Who cares if I'm skinny? I swear to god if I hear it one more time, I'm gonna go all devil child on them, literally. (aha, puns) Although, I think Sally can be an exception. Looking into her eyes that shined with delight, I stayed quiet, biting the inside of my cheek. It's okay, Nico. Don't lose your cool. Breathe in, breathe out..

"Moooooom, he's fine. Your motherly instinct is kicking in again!" Percy groaned, trying hard not to snicker though. I gave him a glare and he winked at me.

"Ahh, I'm sorry.. Just eat some more, okay, honey?" Sally asked me, her eyes laced with concern and brimmed with 'motherly instinct', in quote of Percy. I gave her a small smile and nodded. She took my hand in hers and squeezed it before leaning to whisper in my ear gently.

"I have millions of Percy's baby pictures.. You in?" She asked, snickering. We quickly looked at Percy who was still distracted by his blue cookies and talking to Paul. So distracted that he probably wouldn't have heard anything if I yelled out something horribly kinky or embarrassing (but it would probably be a combination of both).

"Am I ever!" I laughed, doing a quick handshake with Sally before she looked at Paul.

"We'll be upstairs, okay?" She smiled to her husband. Paul nodded, deciding not to ask, which is probably a good idea. Percy raised an eyebrow but decided to not care. Paul and Percy turned back to each other, holding cookies and obviously plotting something bad. She grabbed my hand, and she giggled as we ran up the stairs. I followed her into what I believed was the 'study'. She pulled a large book from a shelf, and on the cover in blue letters, it read 'Percy Jackson'. Sally gestured to a seat and I sat down, her following. She turned the first page, and I burst out laughing. Percy was laying on his back, his green eyes staring curiously at Sally's finger that was, what I assumed, playing with his tummy. She showed me some more various photos. Some were Percy in a diaper playing with toys, others were the classic 'catch-the-baby-playing-in-a-bath'.

The door burst open, Sally and I both yelped and grabbed each other for support. The two guys looked at us oddly, but shrugged.

"Hey babe, lets go out for dinner!" Percy and Paul both said. Sally and I looked each other as we both tried to figure out if that was on purpose or not. Sally suddenly laughed, and got up, dusting off her pants. I got up with her, Paul led her out of the room. All of a sudden, I heard a small click! and my back being pushed against the wall. I gasped as I was suddenly looking into Percy's eyes, a smirk visible on his face. My legs around his waist and him nuzzling my neck. I laughed, and kissed his hair.

"Affectionate, aren't we?"

"Shut up, Ghostie. I missed you."

"It wasn't even twenty minutes, Perce." Two abrupt knocks came from the door as Sally yelled out, 'boys!' Percy jumped and almost dropped me. He let me down slowly, and we walked out the room. Sally and Paul were waiting at the door.

"Where are we going?" I asked, curiously.

"I did say we should go out for dinner," Percy whispered to me. "Mom, you mind if Nico and I shadow travel?" I was about to ask him why, he hated shadow travel, but he nudged me, and I shrugged. Sally nodded, yelling out a 'sure!' as she closed the door. As soon as he heard the door close, Percy was on me. He was hugging me close and I laughed once more. I was laughing a lot today.

"You hate shadow travel! You silly goose." I murmur, burying my face in his neck. I felt the vibration of his laugh and I smiled to myself.

"You ready?" He asks. I nod, grabbing his hand. I reach my free hand towards a shadow, and I find myself laughing at Percy's horrified face.

I guess this meeting wasn't so bad after all, I think to myself as Percy and I fall into the shadows.

A/N: Sorry, very short. Don't kill me. ;u;
