A Very Half-Blood Marriage

Chasing Happiness

Epilogue: Meeting (of Sander and Donny)

Fresh out the hospital, Percy had taken a maternity leave for half a year. Which translated to his friends deeming him fit as the kiddie-dump-place. Not that he minded the babysitting. He was out in the garden, tending to two rather unexpected visitors. Tempest had dropped by, apparently to visit Blackjack. Not that Percy had expected Blackjack to begin with, but apparently his bewinged friend had been eager to meet Percy's 'foals'. And Blackjack was smitten with the 'tiny Percys'.

"You made some mighty cute foals, boss", praised Blackjack, nudging Donny with his muzzle. "Cute little mini-boss. Isn't he a sugar-cube, Tempy? Tempy, stop glaring."

Tempest did not look like he wanted to be here. In fact, he had expressed as much when he had complained that he had enough of the 'whiny miniature human back home'. Percy grinned amused at the annoyed expression on Tempest's face as the storm-spirit just whined in forced agreement.

"A-dorable", grunted Tempest without any conviction.

"A-dorable", echoed Bianca Maria with a broad smile, patting Donny's curls praisingly.

Percy smiled amused. Bianca Maria was very much attached to Donny. Wherever Percy carried the toddler, Bianca Maria would unsteadily wobble after. Then again, Nico hadn't failed to plant the notion that big sisters watched out for their little brothers in her head. Not that it was entirely Nico's fault. After all, Bianca Maria's best friend was one Calandra Rodriguez, who was always dragging her 'little' brother after her. So it was sort of natural that Bianca Maria wanted what her best friend had too. A cute little brother who'd trail after her like a lost puppy. Just that Donny was too small to trail just yet, so it was up to her to follow him and make sure he was alright. Naturally.

"I'm not entirely sure if it's wise to let your one-month old lay on the dirty ground like that."

"Wise isn't my department, it's yours", countered Percy and rolled his eyes with a smirk. "That aside, he's the champion of Persephone, so Earth and grass won't hurt him, will it?"

"How should I know? The only champion I ever met was Jason, champion of Hera", countered his human guest and co-host of this babysitting-gig. "I'm curious to see all of this unfold."

Arching one eyebrow, Percy nonetheless went to pick the curious toddler off the ground. Hoisting Donny up in his arms, he got lost in those large, round, sea-green eyes for a moment. Donny babbled and smiled brightly at his mommy, making grabby-motions for Percy's face. Shaking his head, Percy cradled Donny close to his chest and walked over to the blonde on the bench, trusting Bianca Maria to just follow him (as she always did these days when he was carrying Donny). He sat down next to his business-partner and long-time friend. Malcolm looked worse for wear, but that seemed to be a theme among first-time-parents, wasn't it? Malcolm's daughter had been born only a month before Donny. Amarilla Cage, with fluffy dark curls like her mom and gray eyes like her dad. She was laying curled together against Malcolm's chest, snoring softly as she slept on.

"Mine", huffed Bianca Maria as she slowly climbed up onto the bench to sit next to Percy.

"Yes, your little brother", confirmed Percy with amusement dancing in his eyes.

Percy's eyes, like those of a hawk, scanned the garden for the other little ones. It was strange how things he had learned during the wars now came in handy. Keeping tabs of his teammates' whereabouts during battle equaled keeping tabs of little children in a garden. Danny, Sparky and Thea sat huddled together under a tree, whispering and conspiring. Danny was already seven years old, had started school prior to last Halloween. It was hard to grasp, really. Time seemed to pass so much faster now that their lives had calmed down, however illogical that may sound. And Sparky was soon to be three, running around like the hyperactive little ball of energy that she was, asking a billion questions at once. Most related to mechanics, which made Leo considerably proud and drove everyone else to the verge of insanity. How did this work, how did that work, why did the toaster spit out hot bread when you put in cold and soft slices? Why was the water warm and hot when you turn one or the other faucet, yet it came out the same hole? Percy knew she would be brilliant one day. Right now she was a danger to everyone who was stupid enough to leave her alone with their kitchen equipment. Percy turned to look at Malcolm thoughtfully. Something was on Mal's mind.

"Things have changed", offered Malcolm, voice low. "You have changed, Percy."

"Mh?", grunted Percy confused, caressing Donny's hair all the while. "What do you mean?"

"You're powerful enough to take Olympus", replied Malcolm, saying it like it was a fact. "You've always been the strongest demigod any one of us had ever encountered, but... until last month, I don't think anyone realized just how powerful you really are. You're a son of one of the Big Three. History always had a child of the leaders conquering the throne, taking over and starting a new age. Uranus and Gaia took over after Hemera and Aether, Kronos and Rhea overthrew Uranus and Gaia, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon ended the reign of Kronos and Rhea. You fought Gaia and Kronos yourself and came out victoriously. You... could take out Zeus, if you wanted. I think even Zeus finally realized it. That you're not a rival who may rebel one day, but that... if he'd start a fight with you, he may start a fight he was likely to lose. Yet you're not interested in power at all."

"What good would it do me?", shrugged Percy, turning back to watching the three girls under the three while cuddling his own two children. "Uranus, Gaia and Thalassa had taken over after their parents to end the tyranny of Aether and Hemera, to rule better and longer and wiser. Kronos and Rhea took out that trio to do just the same after Gaia and Uranus were high on power and fell off the deep end. Zeus, Hades and Poseidon ended the reign of Rhea and Kronos as they had turned into tyrants themselves. The most righteous ones, the ones who take over to create a better world, seem to be doomed to be corrupted by their own power. But I so happen to like myself. I've saved the world two times now, I'm not going to sacrifice any more of myself for its sake. I just want peace. If not for the world, at the very least for myself and my family. I'm not interested in power, in ruling the world and becoming its salvation just to turn into its next downfall."

Malcolm stared at him in surprise. Sometimes, with all of Percy's goofiness and cheeky sass, Malcolm forgot that behind it all Percy was the survivor of two wars and Tartarus. He had seen all those things way more up close than Malcolm or most of the other demigods of their generation. He had witnessed them, taken them in and learned from them. Just because he hid behind jokes and often proved to be oblivious about certain things didn't mean he didn't understand.

"You're... incredible", was all Malcolm could say, shaking his head a little.

And as though she just did it to ruin the moment, Amarilla barfed all over her daddy's shoulder and started crying. Malcolm heaved a sigh. Of course he wouldn't get the chance at an intellectual conversation with Percy – something that was rarer than Zeus in a good mood, Malcolm guessed.

"Great. Thank you, Amy. Just what daddy needed", groaned Malcolm disappointed. "Percy?"

Percy grinned amused and stood. After all, there was a little blonde attached to Malcolm's other side, who made it impossible for the son of Athena to get up and get himself and his daughter cleaned up. He cautiously pried the sleeping Hercules from Malcolm's arm. Herc protested in his sleep, at least until Percy offered himself for snuggles. When word about Percy's current state of maternity leave had traveled to New Rome, Octavian and the Zhangs had not been the only ones to drop their little bundles of joy off for a night of uninterrupted sleep for longer than sunrise. Reyna and Jason had been quite eager too. After all, Reyna was still the mayor of New Rome and there were times she did need to sleep through the night so the citizens and those she had meetings schedules with wouldn't think their mayor was about to drop over and drool on the files at hand.

"Malcolm let me in. I'm scheduled to fly to New Rome with Annabeth today and with you and Malcolm on leave, Clarisse has both hands full with the dojo, so I was hoping maybe..."

Percy grinned amused at the exhausted looking son of Hermes in front of him. Chris stood there, with one twin on each of his arms. Both Calandra and Chrysander stared at Percy curiously.

"Cally!", yelped Bianca Maria excitedly the same moment as Herc gasped. "Sander!"

"Just leave them here", chuckled Percy. "I got the hang of handling an army of quarter-gods by now. Though I thought Clarisse would be fine, with her half-brothers Mark and Sherman helping?"

"Yes, well, that makes it three children of Ares. Not much brains to make up for the brawls", sighed Chris, placing the twins on the ground to waddle over to Percy. "Mommy will pick you two up tonight. You'll stay with uncle Percy, is that okay? ...And daddy is uninteresting. Sure. Why not?"

Chris looked mock-hurt as he watched Sander and Cally, pulling themselves up on Percy's pant-legs to reach their friends, not even caring about their daddy. Chris used the opportunity to wave at Percy and sneak back out again. Sander was clinging onto the leg on the side where Hercules sat, while Cally was clinging onto Bianca Maria's side. Bianca Maria hopped off the bench after placing a sloppy kiss on Donny's cheek, causing the baby to giggle. Together, Cally and Bianca Maria made their way over to the other three girls under the apple tree to play together, albeit they half-crawled and half-waddled over, both still a little too young to walk properly. Not that that stopped either of the girls. Percy could see just what laid ahead of those two determined and ambiguous girls.

"Whazzat?", asked Sander confused, chin resting on Percy's knee.

Having mercy on the little one, Percy slid off the bench himself to sit cross-legged on the ground. Herc followed instantly, attaching himself to one of Percy's sides. Percy shifted Donny so the little toddler was laying between his legs as though they were a nest. Sander, glad to now have a better view, leaned over Percy's thigh to look at Donny's face upside-down.

"That is my son", chuckled Percy fondly. "Bia's little brother. Like you're Cally's little brother."

"Bro-tha", repeated Sander thoughtful, poking Donny's cheek.

Where Cally was already up to scheming and plotting world domination with Danny, Sander was a bit slower with everything. Not that he was dumb, he just caught up with Cally a little later. They developed differently. Donny yelped as he was poked. Sander, apparently, found that reaction curious so he poked Donny again. Donny yelped again. So Sander poked once more. This time however, Donny had his head turned and bit Sander. Well, he caught Sander's finger with his lips and was now suckling on it like it was a pacifier. Sander looked stuck between horrified and in awe. It was hard not to laugh at that adorable expression. Donny contently suckled on.

"His name is Donny", continued Percy, large smile on his lips. "Don-ny."

"Do—onny", said Sander with a very long 'o'. "Stahp. Donny stahp."

He frowned and pulled his finger away from the toddler, causing Donny to start crying. Now Sander looked completely horrified. He hastily offered Donny his hand again and the little one started sucking on Sander's thumb like it was his own. An utterly confused expression was adoring Sander's features as he settled for being a pacifier. Not that Donny was in any way interested in what Sander thought or wanted, he was just completely content with his new favorite toy.

"Donny funny", declared Herc with a large grin, patting Donny's head. "Good Donny."

Calculating the situation, Percy stretched his legs a little, offering more space so Sander could also crawl into his lap and didn't have to twist his arm so much. The situation turned beneficial to both parties as Donny continued to happily suckle on his new pacifier while Sander wrapped his arms around the little baby and hugged him like a cuddly teddy-bear. Percy grinned widely.

"Do—onny", hummed Sander happily. "Cute Donny."

Chuckling to himself, Percy leaned back against the bench, resting one hand on Herc's head to pat his blonde curls while Sander and Donny laid curled together on his lap, slowly dozing off.

"Mommy! Mine!", exclaimed a highly agitated Bianca Maria, glaring at Sander. "Donny! Mine!"

Laughing softly, Percy opened his free arm so his daughter could snuggle up to him. She was closely followed by Cally, Danny, Thea and Sparky and within moments, Percy found himself at the bottom of a puppy-pile, with Sander and Donny safely at the center of it. Percy wrapped his arms around the little ones as they settled for an afternoon-nap. This was it. This was the next generation.

~*~ The End ~*~

Author's note: I feel like I'm saying this seriously often these days, but... this is it. The end. The story of their marriage was always only supposed to cover up to Donny's birth and the first meeting between Donny and Sander. I thank you all for reading and as always, even more so for the nice reviews. *smiles*

But of course this is not THE end. (I've updated the timeline on my profile too, if you're interested to see what stories I have currently planned to fill my timeline further) I've just posted the story that spans between the end of this up to "Chasing Fireflies" and will fill nearly all important moments of the family's life - and I'm saying 'nearly' because how Kitty/PercyJr and Thess/Luke got together WILL get their individual oneshots. It's called "A to Z with the di Angelos", so if you need another dose of the cute little ones or parental!Nicercy, go there. ;)
