For Every Life There is Death

Chapter 6

Nico POV

There are three people on the ship that are pregnant. Who's the third person?

"Who?"

"Piper."

"How?"

"Every demigod girl is blessed to get another girl pregnant. Do you really think we would leave the girls out of this?"

"Yeah kinda." Apollo looks shocked by what I say, but he doesn't say anything. Leo is the one to break the silence that's fallen.

"Now we have to deal with three people that are pregnant. Nico, how many kids will Piper have?" I look at Piper and go deep within to access that power.

"Quadruplets, two girls two boys."

"Are the next people we know gonna have five children?!" Apollo answers his question.

"Yes. Although you will be surprised by whom." I look at Apollo curiously.

"Who?"

"You'll see soon enough." I think about the people it could happen to and I end up with Will and Calypso, bastards! I shake the thought from my head and pay attention to the conversation.

"How are we going to take care of three pregnant people? How do boys give birth?"

"Sea-section."

"Oh." We go into an uncomfortable silence and it gets broken several minutes later by Percy.

"Who's gonna help the three of us give birth and who will do my sea-section?" I'm about to say Apollo when Jason cuts me off.

"Will." Leo sets himself on fire and I pull the shadows towards me.

"No." Leo and I say this unison very darkly. Everyone is shaking and only then do realize that Leo's and I's powers are combining and reflecting onto the others.

"Th-th-then who?" Annabeth says this with complete fear.

"Apollo." Surprisingly the gods are also scared and hiding behind the others. Apollo nods his head so fast I think it will fall off. I return the shadows, but Leo stays on fire. I put the shadows towards him and his fire goes out.

"How did you put my fire out and why am I freezing?"

"If shadows are strong enough they can put fire out cause there so cold." He nods and shivers. I debate on giving him my jacket but I see that Apollo has a cape. I snap my fingers and the shadows grab the cape from off of Apollo. Apollo helps and jumps behind Hades. The shadows hand the cape to me and I throw it onto Leo. My hand brushes against his skin and it's as cold as my skin. He wraps the cloth around him tightly and I turn back to the others.

"We should go below deck." They all nod and we make our way back to the kitchen.

"I'm hungry." This was obviously Leo, Jason decides to be rude about it and go harsh on Leo.

"Your always hungry Leo, can't you ever not eat!" I pin Jason against the wall and hold my steel pocket knife to his throat.

"You don't have to be harsh."

"Well it's true." I press the blade harder against his skin and I see a little blood trickle down his neck.

"You guys already broke his pride, you don't need to turn him into me. Would you like another me?" I'm inches from his face and he looks completely terrified, but doesn't back down.

"He already tried to kill himself, maybe he'll succeed the next time and we would all be happy." I've had it, I take my knife from his throat and stab his upper thigh, almost reaching where the sun don't shine. He tries to stop the bleeding but he is still pinned against the wall.
