Percy laughed softly and followed him back to the kitchen with a smile on his face. He flipped the pancakes in the frypan and turned to watch Nico, trying to to grimace to much at his choice of flavour combination. "Really, up you put Nutella with Vegemite on pancakes", he teased. "Next thing you will be asking for pickles in your fruit salad", he continued with a small smirk. He moved to the fridge and grabbed out maple syrup and some ice cream from the freezer, placing them on the table for himself. He then grabbed an ice cream scoop from the draw and removed the last of the pancakes from the fry pan and placed the plug in the sink before placing the fry pans in and using his powers to fill the sink as he brought the pancakes and ice cream scoop over to the table. He took a seat and placed a couple of the pancakes onto his plate, before scooping ice cream on. He scooped some of the fruit salad over it and drizzled it with the syrup before digging in. "This is good, but I could try making blue ice cream", he joked. He didn't really care about blue food, but it was fun to tease his husband some days.

"Mmmm Pickles." He said totally missing the dig about blue ice cream as he stood heading to the cabin grabbing a jar of pickles he grabbed some out placing them on his plate before adding some ice cream to the fruit salad and starting to eat again adding the pickles to his fruit salad. He drizzled some maple syrup on the pancakes digging back in.

"We should ask Apollo what we are having I really want to have a little girl or maybe a little boy, I think I want a little girl who looks just like you though." He tells him between mouthfuls of his pancakes slathered with nutella, vegemite and maple syrup along with pickles and fruit.

"What would you like a little girl or a little boy?" He asked, worrying his bottom lip between his teeth he really hoped that Percy wasn't upset with what sex the child was because if he wasn't happy with the children Nico would feel like he failed Percy. He lost his appetite pushing the plate away he rubbed his hands together before placing his hands over his stomach turning to look at Percy worrying about what Percy would answer and he'd hope against hope that Percy wanted what he had.

Percy laughed slightly, wondering why he had to mention pickles and fruit salad. He shook his head slightly at his husbands meal but stole a pickle from the jar to munch on. It was then he realised the sink was over flowing and quickly used his powers to turn the water of and get ride of the excess water that was flooding the bench and floor. It was handy to be able to control water at times like these.

Percy listened to his husband and reached across the table to take his hand in his, "firstly I will love any kid we have with all my heart, just as I love you. I don't care if they are a boy or a girl", he replied truthfully. "Secondly I will have to feel sorry for my little girl if she does look exactly like me, I would prefer she took after you and thirdly Apollo did tell us what we are having", Percy continued. He gripped Nico's hand more firmly with a smile on his face. "He said we are having a little girl", he paused for a moment, before continuing. "And two little boys. All are healthy and I don't know about you but I can't wait to meet them. ". Percy moved to the seat beside Nico and placed his free hand on his stomach and a kiss on his cheek.

"Ohh." He said his mouth dropping open as he stared at Percy rubbing his stomach with wonder filled eyes it had slipped his mind that he had already known about the sexes of the babies, he had a feeling that he would one of those people who's thoughts scattered while pregnant. His mouth opened and closed several times nothing coming out as he tried to form coherent words even though he had know it had just hit him again, he was pregnant, triplets, two little boys and a little girl. He still couldn't believe that he was pregnant. "I know that, why did I forget that?" He asked with a frown at himself feeling horrible that he had forgotten that he already knew what they were and Percy would stay with him. He moved closer to Percy before climbing into his lap with a whimper. "I, why did I forget? I...I what's wrong with me?" He asked his voice wobbling as his eyes filled with tears before he broke down into sobs and whimpers scared about what was happening all the changes that he was going through terrified him. "I won't forget everything or just some things I...I don't want to forget." He tells him in a terrified tone.

Percy pulled Nico close to him, "Hey, its okay. It was a lot to take in at the time and no matter what I love you and wont leave you. You are stuck with me now, Nico. You are mine and I wont let you get away this time. Also, I wont let you forget, or face any of this on your own. I love you Nico and they are my little brats too", he replied, kissing him softly. "You want to go and watch a movie?", he continued, hoping to get Nico away from worry about a small thing.

“Yes.” He said starting to bounce slightly. “Let’s watch guardians of the galaxy, then Frozen, and tangled, and and something else.” Nico says grinning he grabs Percy’s hand leading him to the other room, he put the dvd in and then moved to sit on Percy’s lap where he pushed him to sit on the sofa, he used his powers to start the movie as he settled down to watch it. His hand unconsciously going to his stomach he started patting it slightly he was so excited to meet his little ones he couldn’t wait he would put up with anything to have his children in his arms, it would be amazing.

Percy smiled and followed Nico into the room. He sat when Nico pushed him and wrapped his arms around Nico as they both settled comfortably into the chair. Percy placed his hands over Nico's, his thumb rubbing gentle circles without thought. He couldn't wait to met their children. He did hope they would take after Nico though, he loved his husband. He couldn't wait to see his husband with the little girl though. He would love all their children but he knew he was likely going to be more protective of their daughter. They likely both would be really. Percy thought as he settled into watching the movie. His thoughts where running wild with the idea of their triplets.

Nico was soon lost in the outer galaxy he loved this movie. He kept rubbing his stomach gently not even realizing what he was doing so engrossed in the move, he snuggled closer to Percy laying his head on his shoulder his eyes drifting lower and lower slowly before he fell into a deep sleep. He dreamed of meeting his children for the first time and what they would be like, he hoped that they loved him as much as he loved them even though he hadn't met them yet or known about them being in there for that long. He sighed happily in his sleep a smile curving his lips even in sleep.

Percy was so lost in the movie that it wasn't until the end of the movie that he realised that Nico was asleep. Using his powers he turned the tv off and to take them both to bed. He softly kissed the top of Nico's head, careful that he didn't wake him before drifting off to sleep himself. His dreams that night where confusing but the kids he saw he was sure where his and Nico's or of at least how he saw them then. Their little girl looked like Nico which made him happy, and he could see his sons playing with water. He knew that it was on.y a dream but when he woke the next morning, it would be with a smile on his face.

Nico woke in the morning a happy smile still on his face unable to help but feel happy after the dream he had had about the babies. He turned to face Percy watching him as he slept he still couldn't believe that Percy wanted to be with him, wanted to raise these babies with him but for as long as Percy wanted him he would let him be in his life. He knew that he should have more faith in Percy but it was hard to break a lifetimes habit in a few years. He was slowly starting to understand that Percy wanted him and wouldn't leave him but it was still a work in process and sometimes he had freak outs. He reached out and ran his fingers slowly and softly over Percy's face not trying to wake him but enjoying the fact that he could touch him without having to ask even though he had been doing it for 10 years he still loved it.

Percy hummed with content as he woke to his husbands touch. His arm snaked around Nico before he even opened his eyes and he held Nico closer to him. "Morning", he mumbled before leaning in closer to kiss Nico after finally opening his eyes. He knew that Nico still worried that he might leave him and that there wasn't anything he could do to help him change that. At least nothing more then he was already doing. Nico would realise in time but he couldn't make that time come faster then it was. How is the....father?", he shrugged slight at that before continuing the rest of his question. "Of our kids?" It was still hard to believe that in a few months they would have mini me's to look after. He looked forward to it more then anything.

"Morning." Nico says with a smile, leaning down and giving him a kiss before pulling back. "I feel great, the triplets have let me sleep in this morning and I didn't wake needing to pee so it's amazing." Just as Nico said that he made a dash for the toilet vomiting into the toilet before resting his head on the side of the bowl letting out a groan. "Apparently I spoke to soon." He tells Percy ruefully, before standing and washing her mouth out before going to the toilet and snuggling back up to Percy feeling so happy that he could snuggle up to him. He didn't want to move again till he had to everything else could wait he just wanted to spend time with Percy without one of them rushing off.

Percy grinned back at Nico after he kissed him back, "Thats gr-", he was cut short as Nico had to run from the room. He frowned with concern as he heard Nico vomiting but gave him some privacy. He was about to get up and go help or look after Nico, when he walked back into the room. He wrapped his arms around his husband, resting a hand over the baby bump. "Now now, be nice to daddy", he playfully chided his unborn children as he held Nico close. He knew he had nothing to do that day, but he still didn't want his day to start. He wished he could just spend it all laying here with Nico.

Nico snuggled up to Percy with a yawn feeling tried even though he had just woken up. He couldn’t help but grin as the children settled down at the sound of Percy’s voice. He ran his hands through Percy’s hair feeling content and glad that he had met him. “I love you.” He tells him choking up just thinking about how they could have never met and where he would have been without Percy. He hid his face in Percy’s neck feeling ashamed of his tears and thoughts because he knew that it was hormones, but he couldn’t help it. “I love you.” He says again.
