024

Nico woke up with the familiar feeling of nausea sitting in his stomach. He quickly climbed out of his king sized bed that was cold without the other body there. He opened up the bathroom door and hurled his dinner from the night before, which he ate with Percy, though the son of Poseidon was eating breakfast at the time.

Nico began to slightly panic, believing something was wrong with their daughter, that the nectar was no longer working, until the son of Hades simply remembered he was so tired, he just forgot to take the delicious drink after his meal.

Breathing a sigh of relief, the pregnant boy stood up and walked over to the sink. He looked himself in the mirror and sighed, grabbing at his toothbrush and brushing his teeth. He washed the taste of vomit out of his mouth, and then lifted up his - Percy's - shirt and examined his baby bump. He was almost seven months, but still had a week until that milestone, but it was just crazy.

Regular, normal things were getting more difficult. He could no longer tie his shoes, or make his bed or even grab something to low or above him. He could, but not easily, anyway.

Today, Nico had an appointment with the Roman Apollo campers, who weren't pissed off at him, to do a check-up on the baby, while the son of Hades did miss Dr.Holt, he knew there was no way he could just drive to New York everytime he needed a check up, and he also knew he needed to get an ultrasound soon.

He did wish the son of Poseidon would be here for it, but the green-eyed boy was still busy with the other camper. Nico felt weird about the whole situation. He liked Percy, yes, but there was a stronger emotion mixing with that. More than just like, but that's not possible, because it's been seven months of the pregnancy, and they weren't even 'together' for that long.

Yet, all Nico wanted to do was to crawl next to Percy and snuggle him until the moon came back up as the sun set. Which, was not very productive, but Nico was never usually productive. He, before he got pregnant, spent most his days laying in bed... with Will, but that minor detail wasn't all that important to think about right now.

But, Nico is Nico, so of course he thought about it.

What was Will doing right now? How was he? Not that Nico wanted to know so he could get back with him, but there was this small part of him that wanted to know. While, he no longer could see a future with the son of Apollo, he did once upon a time, want to marry him. There wasn't a doubt in nico's mind that if he and Percy hadn't of slept together, he and Will could have gotten married together and been perfectly happily, but luckily for Nico, he didn't believe in soulmates.

So, it was a natural response to want to know how he was doing. Will was once his whole life, but now... it's Percy, and their daughter, and it was crazy to think about. And, while Nico wanted to remorse about his past relationship as he sat back down in bed, he couldn't...

He had Percy now and Percy was so perfect. Everything about him, of course he missed Will, but never did he want him back. Not since the entire thing went down. Nico knew he would always love Will, but never ever love him the same way he used to, or the way he loves Percy now.

Wait.

Nico doesn't love Percy.

He feels a similar feelings.

But, there's no way he loves him.

It's not possible.

Nico's train of thought is broken when a screen pops up in front of him, it's the one and only savior of Olympus.

"Hey," Percy greets, the sun was down and Percy was sitting outside in front of the lake.

"Hi," Nico smiles, sitting up a bit. "Why are you outside? The Harpies are going to get you,"
