When Jack woke up he felt a figure behind him. it was warm, nice, and had a gentle heartbeat. He didn't even have to turn around to know that it was his mother.
He felt a hand near his feet, which would've been his mother's waist. mhm, definitely his father.
And a tiny, little thing near his head. SEBASTIAN!
He also heard soft breathing from behind his father, which he could infer to be the twins.
He sighed, content. He'd missed this. Missed waking up safe in his mother's arms. Missed knowing that his mother was safe.
He lay there for a few moments till he noticed eyes watching him.
"Hey mom," he whispered.
"Hey Jack," Percy whispered back, relieved that Jack was no longer calling him 'mother'.
"Ummm, so…."
"Wanna get breakfast?" suggested Percy.
Jack nodded eagerly.
He picked up Sebastian and tiptoed out a few feet.
Percy gently tried to pry Nico's arm off his waist only for it to not budge, and the grip to tighten.
"Nico," groaned Percy, as he felt his boyfriend silently chuckling against him.
he batted the arm away, and swatted at him as Nico pressed a kiss to Percy's temple.
Percy rolled up, and after him came Nico, Amarilla then Alethia.
"Alright girls," said Percy, before noticing the looks given to him from Nico, Jack and… *gasp* Sebastian TOO! That was not proper baby-ism! "And guys," he added, "Time for some breakfast!"
The little ones cheered. Nico laid an arm on Percy's waist, "Lead the way," he said.
Jack and the twins marched along.
They ate breakfast together, at the Poseidon table. People kept throwing Percy sympathetic glances, but he just glared at them, seriously! Just because future him had cancer didn't mean he was going to die! Really, they were annoying him to death.
Sighing, after breakfast, Percy headed for the lake, water always calmed him down.
The naiads were there. They sent him smiles, not caring about what would happen, just that they were in the present, and the future was in the future.
Percy smiled right back and hopped in the lake. They went to the bottom and started weaving baskets, a daily ritual since the wars had ended.
They weaved and weaved till nighttime hit.
They then parted ways for the night, Percy smiling all the way on the trip back to his cabin. Glad that he'd gotten to spend some time with the 'people' like him.
The children of the sea…
