For Every Life There is Death

Chapter 9

Nico POV

It's been 6 weeks since Leo and I started dating and Percy, Piper, and Hazel have started showing.

I wake up feeling like I'm gonna throw up. I run to the bathroom and puke my guts out. I feel horrible. I puke again and when I lean back I feel nausea. After I puke a third time I go get dressed, but my skinny jeans squeeze my stomach to much so I put on sweats and a baggy T-shirt.

I walk to the kitchen clutching my stomach cause I feel like I'm gonna puke again. When I enter the kitchen I see Leo also clutching his stomach looking like shit. Do I look like shit? Probably. When I sit down Leo looks at me.

"You look like shit."

"Have you seen yourself in the mirror." His mouth drops and I roll my eyes.

I pull out my monster proof phone and pull up the mirror app. I find that I look like shit and I give the phone to Leo. He gasps at his appearance.

"I look like a piece of crap."

"No shit Sherlock." He looks at me and I just grab some food. When I take a bite of food I feel like I'm gonna puke and I rush to the bathroom beside the kitchen. I puke in the toilet and I once again feel nauseous.

"What the fuck happened to you?" I look up to see my father staring down at me.

Ever since Hazel got pregnant he's been here helping take care of the pregnant people.

"I feel like shit." Just then Leo runs into the bathroom and vomits in the next stall over.

"Why are you both vomiting like crazy." I lean over to the toilet and puke again.

The others come into the bathroom and see Leo and I vomiting into the toilets.

"Why are you both super sick?"

"Not sure." This is the first time Leo speaks since being in the bathroom.

"Leo, what did you do to my brother?"

"Nothing." He thinks for a moment then says. "I think."

"Nico, what did you do to Leo?"

"I don't think I did anything." I suddenly remember the time we had sex. I widen my eyes and run out the bathroom. I go to the infirmary and grab two pregnancy tests.

When I get back to the bathroom I throw one to Leo and he looks at in realization. I push the people out of the bathroom and we both pee on the sticks then flush the toilets.

After waiting five minutes a pink plus sign shows up on both our sticks. I look up at Leo in horror, then I use my powers to figure out how many.

"I have twins and you have triplets. That's five like Apollo said."

"Fuck!" He slides down the wall and throws the stick across the room. I slide down the wall next to him and I feel tears well up in my eyes as I stare at my stick. Leo has streaks of tears running down his face and upon seeing that I drop the stick and bury my face in my knees as I sob.

I hear Leo do the same and I barely hear the door open. I only look up as I hear gasps.

"Nico, your pregnant?!" I nod my head and wipe away the tears.

"But Leo is too." They stare at us in complete shock.

"How?!" For some reason I snap.

"We had sex Hazel, that's how we got fucking pregnant with each other's fucking kids." I bury my face in my knees and sob harder. I'm to young to be a dad of five. I just cry even harder at that thought. I feel someone wrap there arms around me and I look up to see Leo, I bury my face in his chest and sob harder than I have ever sobbed before.

The sound of the others Leaving fills my ears. When Leo and I top crying I look up at him.

"What are we gonna do? We're only 15."

"I don't know, Nico." I suddenly feel super hungry.

"I'm starving."

"Me too." We get up and look in the mirror to make sure we aren't covered in vomit. Fortunately it all got in the toilet.

Then we go to the Kitchen and eat a bunch of food.

"Now we have to take care of ourselves being pregnant along with the other three." I groan in frustrating at what Leo says.

"I really wish we would have used condoms."

"Same." Just then Hazel walks in and widens her eyes when she sees us pigging out on food.

"Uhmmmm." She stares at us and then takes my bag of goldfish, then she runs off giggling.

"Hey! Get back here!" I run after her and Leo trails behind me. "Hazel stop! We're both pregnant with twins! This can't be good for them!" She suddenly stops and I almost run into her. I stop right behind her and Leo runs into me, I almost fall over but am able to catch my balance. I sigh in exasperation and grab my bag of goldfish.

We are on the deck and everyone is staring at us, I just roll my eyes and sit down against the wall. Leo sits beside me and we eat the goldfish in silence. After a while Frank rushes over to Hazel.

"Are you and the kids okay?"

"Yeah why?"

"You were running."

"Ohhhh." She places a hand over the bump of her belly and goes to the railing with Frank.

The others stare at us for a while longer before going back to there conversations. I look at Leo and peck him on the lips. What will it be like to have a family with this adorable boy? We stare into each others eyes. I realize that I'm in love with this boy and I want to spend the rest of my life with him.

"I love you." I lean my head on his shoulder as I say this.

"I love you too." I smile and look up at him. He gives me a long soft kiss. When it ends we eat goldfish and rest our heads an eachother.
