The First Times

First Meeting Demigods - Reyna and Dylan

That particular Saturday was anything but ordinary.

Ana was completing some homework while Will was in stand-by, to see if she needed help at all. Nico was out, visiting Aunt Reyna and Uncle Dylan, so the sunshine duo was alone. However, Will was in stand-by mainly because they had dropped the hint about meeting the family. Ana was happy with the little family, but someday, she had to make it bigger.

"So, Principessa... Are you ready to meet the family next week?" Will asked her, trying to make conversation.

"I'm still nervous, Dad..." Ana confessed, stopping her pen on the paper. "What if they don't like me? Will you return me then?" The last part was said so low, Ana thought Will wouldn't answer it. She was really scared and didn't want to be a disappointment. To her surprise, her Dad's arms were around her and she clung to him tight.

"They're gonna love you, don't worry..." Will assured her, stroking her hair. "And, they be damned if they don't like you!" She giggled a little listening to that.

"Have you been reading to her Pride & Prejudice again?" Both turned around, surprised to hear Nico. Without ceremonies, Ana let go of Will and rushed to greet him with a hug.

"Only when is Classic Thrusday..." Will poked his tongue out. Ana chuckled and Nico shook his head. "Why are you here so early, by the way?"

"Reyna, well... her water broke?" Nico's words were a little insecure, but Will gasped and squeaked, surprising everyone.

"What are we waiting for?! We need to go see her!!" Will was rushing to find his coat from the rack, before meeting Nico's curious look "Nico, Jasper is in California, Hylla in Seattle... Percabeth is researching in Australia and Frazel is on a trip down in Brazil. We. Need. Us. To. Be. There. Then. We. Will. Go" He emphasized word by word, not leaving room to argue.

"Fine, fine!" Nico gave in, grumbling. "Principessa, go grab your coat too." Ana seemed frozen in her place for a second, unsure.

"O...OK." She mumbled, grabbing her coat. The family of three was on the streets soon, driving to the hospital to greet the newcomers into the family. Ana, chatty Ana, was very quiet and it didn't take Will or Nico much to figure out why.

"Relax, sweetie..." Will turned around to look at her. "They're gonna be delightful you're there..."

"I don't know..." She sighed, but quickly changed the topic. "Dad, who is Frazel?" Will chuckled at it, while Nico snorted behind the wheel.

"Told you to stop talking like that..." He pointed out. Will, very maturely, poked his tongue out again.

"It's your cousin's wife's fault!" He argued, not behaving very maturely at the moment.

"She can't control it..." Nico said, more to Ana than to him. "Frazel is, what your Aunt Piper call, a ship." He could see Ana's confused look on him, not understanding what he was talking about. "Not a ship as you think, a ship as a relationship name. She fusions the names of the couple and she calls them like that..."

"For example, your Aunt Hazel and Uncle Frank are Frazel." A little gasp was heard and Will could see the lightbulb on top of Ana's head.

"You guys have a ship name?" Nico turned red, but Will was laughing.

"We have several!" Ana's eyes opened in shock at Will's words. "First, it was Willo, but-"

"Sounded like a tree."

"Then, we were Nilliam-"

"I refused to be called as a boy band member."

"Finally, your Aunt Piper and her siblings settled with Solangelo."

"Doesn't sound bad..." Ana recognized, thinking, while they exited the car and walked into the hospital. "Does that mean I'm a Solangelo too?"

"Why, of course!" Will didn't waste time and picked her up, hugging her. Ana watched from his arms as they walked around the hospital with confidence until they reached destination. There was a man pacing around the hallway and, when he heard them walking by, he stopped and looked at Nico, kind of sad. That must be Uncle Dylan...

"They- they told me a surgery was better..." Will immediately put Ana down and patted the Dylan's shoulder. Ana watched him: he had light skin, but he looked paler with the worry. His hair was black, but not like Nico's. He had black hair, in a very 'I-woke-up-like-this' way, curly. His eyes were blue, but they could easily be red because of all the effort he was doing in not crying.

"Dylan, relax... Nico, stay with them, I'm going in with Reyna." Will took command of the situation, walking into the room without warning. Ana, knowing that nothing was going to happen if her Papà was around, decided to be brave and greet his new Uncle.

"Hullo, Uncle Dylan..." She whispered to him, blush coloring her cheeks. He kneeled next to her, a little calmer and hugged her while looking at Nico.

"She's adorable, Nico..." The proud father in Nico made an appearance with a smile.

"Think. In a few hours, you'll have three of your own." After that, it was Ana's work to entertain her new Uncle, so he was distracted from what was going on in the room. But she couldn't pull the act for long, as tiredness was making an appearance and she was starting to fall asleep in Dylan's lap, who was chatting with Nico. Was in that moment when Will, all smiles, show up again.

"Congrats, Daddy." He teased Dylan, but Dylan didn't care. He started to laugh in relief and hug everyone around. After his hug, Will turned to Ana. "Wanna meet Aunt Reyna, Principessa?" Tiredness and sleepiness gone, Ana nodded, grabbing his hand and following him into the room. Reyna was tired and resting next to a crib with three babies dressed in green outfits. She had her long hair tied up and messy, but she was smiling too "Reyna, this is Anastassia, your new niece."

"Hi..." The mentioned one waved at Reyna. "Are you feeling OK?" She chuckled and nodded.

"She's beautiful, Will..." Shy Ana made an appearance, blushing and hiding behind her Dad. "And shy like Nico."

"Yeah, she is..." Will smiled at his daughter, making her smile back.

She could imagine all the fun hours with her new cousins!

Good morning/afternoon/evening, guys.

First, I want to wish a happy be-late (cause, technically, it's celebrated on the 12th) Race/Diversity/Discovery of America Day. The day has so many names, I hope no one takes it wrong, which is why I'll explain that in Argentina, we celebrate the day Christopher Columbus arrived for the first time to "India" October 12th 1492. You know the story.

However, we have more important things to do today... like today's posting!

The First Times: 1 chapter! As always, and even though I don't reply to the comments lately, I read them and they make me really happy! Thank you! *muack*

I'll see you guys next week!
xoxo, SilverHuntresses
