Percabeth One-Shots

Sweet Charlie

Hi guys! I was gone for a while, Ik. But here I am, writing this in class (not revised at all lol)
Prompt: where Nico realizes he is an uncle.
Third person POV

Nico didn't really know how to act around Annabeth. The swell of her belly glowed with the strong force of life, life she created... gestated. He feared his aura, filled with death, would kill the small, fragile, source of happiness that grew beneath her skin.

It wasn't until he felt the small thump of the baby's tiny foot against his hand that he felt that overwhelming sense of love and trust. Percy and Annabeth trusted him to touch their baby, even if it wasn't born yet.

She.
Nico learned the baby was a girl around Annabeth's sixth month of pregnancy. He tried to deny the crack that opened in his heart. What if she became a hunter too?

His eyes had to be deceiving him.
There was no way.
Percy had just texted him.
A picture of his hand holding Annabeth's, 'labour should start soon, try to get here when you can :) '
He had never called Ms Olleary so fast.

May thirteenth, 2021.
That was the day his life changed, the day he realized he didn't have to life for what Hades had given him. Death was a part of life, there was no death without life.
"Hi." He said, tense shoulders as he held the small flustered baby, subconsciously pulling her closer to his chest. Her skin was reddened, ten small fingers and ten small toes, green eyes, slight blonde hair, pink lips and so full of life.
Like she was telling him to trust her.
"Hello Charlie. How are you, sweet girl?" Nico found himself cooing. Trying to ignore the way the baby's parents teared up at the interaction.
The baby yawned, long and full, and proceeded to sleep in his arms. Trusting him to keep her safe.
He would keep her safe, or die trying.

"Uncle Nico! Uncle Nico! Look what I made you!" Charlie ran wobbly to him and held out a flower. Pink and purple. She gently put it against his hair, leaving it to rest on his upper ear.
He hugged her tight. "Thank you Charlie."
She sloppily kissed his cheeks, running of to go tell mama about something daddy did.
Maybe, there was still chance for Nico.
