Chapter Text
Percy Jackson was happy for once in his life. After being abused when he was a kid and then leading wars and going on so many exhausting quests-not to mention Tartarus-he definitely earned the right for it. With his two favorite people. Jason Grace and Nico di Angelo.
“Feeling better?” Jason asked, nuzzling the back of the son of Poseidon’s neck when he came down from taking a shower to relax. He’d thrown up for, like, an hour that morning and he didn’t know why.
“Yeah,” he replied, smiling back at the blond. “I feel much better.” He smiled back at him and Percy felt his heart melt just from that smile. He loved his boyfriend. Speaking of… “Where’s Nico?” He’d been gone that morning when Percy woke up, so Jason had been the one to help him when he was throwing up. Jason pulled Percy into his arms, hugging him tight.
“He said he’d be out for a while this morning. He’ll be back in time for dinner.” He hummed, glad to stay where he was.
“Jace?”
“Hmm?” Percy smiled again his chest.
“I’m happy,” he replied. He’d been thinking about it a lot recently, and he was happy to have his boyfriends in his life. Jason pulled away to kiss him, slowly and gently.
“I’m happy that you’re happy,” the son of Zeus murmured against his lips.
Everything was perfect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Percy started getting sick every morning. He hid it from Jason and Nico, not wanting them to worry. Besides, he felt better, even just an hour after, so why did he need to tell them? It wasn’t important.
“Percy?” Nico asked, finding the son of Poseidon slumped against the toilet, looking completely exhausted. The son of Hades was immediately at his side. “Oh my gosh, what’s wrong?” He felt Percy’s head, but it wasn’t warm at all. He didn’t even seem sick, other than the fact that he was there.
“What’s going on?” Jason asked, walking into the bathroom. “Percy?” he asked, hesitantly. “Have you been sick this whole time?”
“M’not sick,” the son of Poseidon whined with all the energy he seemed to have.
“What do you mean, this whole time?” Nico demanded, looking back at Jason. The man sighed, running a hand through his hair.
“About a week ago, when you left to help Hades for a few hours, I found him throwing up. He seemed better not even ten minutes after and he assured me he was okay, so I thought he was. But, thinking back on it, every time I wake up, he’s in the bathroom.” Nico thought over it, slowly nodding, but then that realization hit him.
“Percy,” he whispered, running a gentle hand through his lover’s hair. Percy barely even leaned into the touch, which spoke levels of how bad his condition really was.
“I’ll call Will,” Jason said, walking out.
“No,” Percy said. “Don’t call Will. He’ll lecture me.” Nico sighed and wrapped Percy in his arms. Exhausted, the raven haired demigod fell into the embrace, asleep almost instantly. Nico managed to pick him up from the odd angle and take him back to their room, setting him on their bed. He sat beside him, running a hand through his hair while he waited.
Not long after, Will and Jake showed up, the couple ever ready to help. Nico and Jason were asked to leave while they gave Percy a check up.
“What’s wrong?” Jason asked, as soon as Will and Jake stepped out.
“Usually, I’d tell you,” Will said. “But I think Percy should. It’s nothing life threatening or even bad. In fact, it’s pretty good. But I shouldn’t be the one to tell you. I think Percy’s known about this for a few days. He was probably extremely nervous to tell you, so just take it easy, okay? If you need anything, call.” They nodded and watched the pair leave.
Jason and Nico would just have to wait to find out.

“Jason? Nico?” Percy asked, pushing himself up in their bed. His boyfriends looked back at him, waiting patiently as Percy stretched, rubbing his eyes. “What happened?”
“You were sick in the bathroom,” Jason supplied. Percy slumped a little at that.
“Oh,” he whispered.
“Percy,” Nico said, turning the hero’s head up to look at him. “Whatever it is, you can tell us. Will said you probably know, and I think he’s right. You’ve been hiding this from us when we could’ve been helping you. Please, we just want to help.” He looked away, rubbing his hands over his arms.
“I, um-” He let out a long breath. “I’m pregnant.” It was silent in the room and Percy felt his nervousness build up inside of himself. “If you don’t, you know, want it, I could, uh-” he stopped short. No, he wouldn’t kill the child in him. “We don’t have to keep it,” he whispered. He could put it up for adoption for a nice family to find. He wanted that, though. Now that he knew, he wanted a child. He wanted to keep it. A soft sob escaped the demigod’s lips, snapping Jason and Nico from their shock.
“No, Percy,” Jason whispered, moving closer to wrap his arms around him. “Of course, we want it. I’d never dream of asking you to get rid of it. It’s ours now.” He set his hand over Percy’s stomach, pressing a kiss to the top of his head. “I want it, too.” He looked back at Nico.
“Did you really think we wouldn’t want it?” Nico asked, sliding closer. Percy sniffled, wiping his eyes on his sleeve.
“I don’t know,” he whispered. Nico sighed.
“Of course, we want it. It’s not just your child that you’re going to take care of. It’s our child, Percy.” He set his hands on Percy’s stomach, too. “I can’t wait to be one of the fathers.” Percy sobbed again, in relief this time. His boyfriends accepted him and the baby growing inside of him.
They were going to be a family.
