~Finally a chapter amiright?~

Nico was sitting at home, reading a book, besides him, the house was empty. He was a bit worried and was hoping for Percy to walk through the doors any second now, but he knew, considering it had only been a day, that was an unlikely occurrence.

It was night time for Nico, which meant it was probably the morning for Percy. Nico sighed and closed his book. He didn't realize how...dependant he had become. Granted, he was fine, he COULD make it, but he didn't want to. The son of Hades wanted Percy.

He sighed as he put the baby book up, allowing it to rest on the side table as the Italian pulled himself off the couch. Nico wrapped his hands around his bump, he was a little past six months now.

That was exciting, yet they didn't even start thinking about names yet, as much as Nico loved his Sister, he would never name his daughter Bianca, at least not for the first name, maybe a middle name, because back in the 30's and 20's, Bianca was a more current name back then, but not, Nico didn't really want to do that, not saying anyone with the name Bianca has a shitty name, but he wouldn't name his child that, maybe a middle name, not a first.

The son of Hades realized he now had to pee, so he went and did that, washing his hands and drying this off before taking a look in the mirror. He looked like shit. He should take a shower soon, probably after he made dinner.

Nico didn't know what he wanted to make, but after a bit of searching he decided cereal would be the best option, so he got some milk and cereal, pouring the cereal in first, just to clarify, and he went back to sit down on the couch. (a/n: Okay, so apparently I am dumb, and I gave them a TV, but I also said how there can be no technology, so these are just... special TV's...) Nico flipped through a few channels before deciding on some late night show.

He wondered what Percy was doing. It was causing Nico so much anxiety to not know what the hell was going on. He didn't know if it was something small or something that could hurt the small strange family that Nico was now apart of.

Just as Nico was about to go absolutely insane, a misty screen appeared in front of him. "Hey Nico," he heard, the son of Hades jumping slightly before placing his cereal, which was basically done, on the side table.

"Perce, is everything okay? Is it bad? Please tell me it's less bad than what I've been thinking for the last 24 hours."

"It seems okay," Percy said, smile lightly, but Nico could see the worry on his face. "Rachel is missing, so there isn't any telling where she could be or anything prophecy, but this girl is so damaged. She's been bounced foster home to foster home, she just needs to adjust, I'll be home soon I think, no telling what the gods are planning though, but so far, I don't see any immediate danger," He finished, looking behind him, a girl sound asleep next to him, she was thin and looked grimy, it was clearly morning there.

"By immediate danger you mean..?"

"Nothing that could affect you or the baby," He said, running a tan hand through his dark hair, clearly just woken up. Nico blushed slightly at how he was included in 'you and the baby'.

There was a short silence before Nico spoke up again. "How's everything back at camp?"

The son of Poseidon made a small chuckle before smiling up at Nico. "I didn't exactly have time to look around, I tried to ease her out of her shyness, relating to her, the whole Smelly Gabe thing finally paid off after - how many years?"

"That's good," Nico laughed, wrapping his blanket around him.

"Yeah, I may have a week here at most, just adjusting, I mean it took me literally forever to finally be able to understand everything, and granted, while my first few weeks I was on a quest, I still would be just as confused, especially if I was her age, going through what she did," Percy's now serious face went back to a smile as he looked back up at the son of Hades.
