Work Text:
Bianca was born on the 26th of March. Needless to say that having an infant whilst being a parent for the first time was bad enough already.
Will and Nico were juggling between working at the hospital, writing a dissertation, and taking care of their baby daughter which meant that they kind of forgot to call their godly parents to meet her.
It was the middle of the night when Bianca started wailing from her crib in the room next to theirs. Will groaned and turned to Nico who was still sleeping. “Nico, she’s up.”
Nico didn’t even open his eyes. “What time is it?” He turned and pressed the power button on his phone. 2:30 am. “I changed her diaper less than an hour ago.”
Then the cry stopped. “Wait. She stopped crying?” Will got out of bed. “Someone else calmed her down.”
Nico was still a little confused and half-asleep. “Yes, a stranger broke into our house and soothed our crying baby. She probably just fell back asleep.”
Will stared at him in disbelief. He was pretty positive that Bianca wasn’t the kind of baby who would cry herself back to sleep, it hadn’t even been that long since she had started crying. “I am going to check on her.” He opened the door of the nursery. “Oh, my Gods.” He shouted in horror as he saw his godly parent in the middle of the nursery.
Nico ran inside the room as soon as he heard from Will from the other room. “Apollo? What are you doing here?”
Yes, Apollo was holding Bianca in his arms who was somehow still sleeping despite the loud noises. “She was crying. What did you expect me to do?” He said with Bianca moving a bit to be more comfortable in his arms.
“So you came down from Olympus to make Bianca go back to sleep?” Will asked his dad.
“Exactly, and I thought that you might need a bit of help.” Apollo stared at the baby sucking her pacifier peacefully in her sleep. “And you better keep your voices down or she’s going to wake up again.”
Apollo placed gently her back In her crib and the three of them stepped outside.
As they closed the door behind them, Will cleared his throat. “Dad?”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry that we haven’t officially called you yet to meet her. It’s been a few crazy first weeks with Bianca that we kind of lost track of time.” Will explained.
“I’m always keeping an eye on all of you. I am just making sure that your are safe especially now that you have my granddaughter to take care of.”
