Summary: It's Christmas, one year after Percy and Nico got together. But somehow, the son of Hades is not very enthusiastic about spending Christmas with their friends and family. Something unexpected offers them a journey to three different Christmases. Percy gets to see a Christmas in Venice, with Nico, Bianca and Maria di Angelo, so he may understand the family his boyfriend misses. Nico on the other hand gets to see Percy's past, a Christmas spend with Sally and Smelly Gabe, so he may understand why Percy is so adamant on making Christmas perfect. To end the three days of Christmas, Percy and Nico are send to see the future together – a Christmas spend together with their children, in a bright future full of happiness.

This binds my 'A Very Half-Blood'-series and my 'Chasing'-verse, because it takes place one year after 'A Very Half-Blood Christmas' and the future it shows takes place on the Christmas Eve of the same year as 'Chasing Fireflies'. But it can also be seen as a stand-alone future-fic.

White Anniversary

Christmas Past and Future

Third Day of Christmas: Their Future

Sneaky hands kneaded Percy's ass in that way that would make Percy's knees go weak. Good thing he was laying on top of Nico at the moment and not standing. Sea-green eyes cracked open slowly as he turned to look at his fiance. They had thoroughly apologized for being idiots last night. Repeatedly. In different positions. Until both had completely forgotten why they had been angry with each other to begin with. Fucked each other's brains out. And that was how their anniversary had been supposed to be. The son of Poseidon thrust back against the touch.

"Morning, mio angelo custode", purred Percy, his voice dark and hoarse from screaming Nico's name all night. "Fuck, I love you so much. My handsome, amazing boy-toy."

A mischievous grin was playing on Percy's lips, his hands caressing Nico's chest as he sat up to straddle the Ghost Prince's hips. Trailing along Nico's collar and the multiple dark marks he had left on the olive skin last night, Percy licked his lips hungrily.

"I'm your boy-toy now, eh?", chuckled Nico amused, squeezing Percy's ass.

"You so are", growled the Sea Prince and leaned down, licking along the shell of Nico's ear. "Or at least you were last night. Fuck, make-up sex really is the best. You are the best. I love you."

"I love you too, Perseus", smiled the son of Hades with a tender note to his voice.

Percy shuddered pleased. As much as he hated his first name, he loved the way it fell off Nico's lips, thick with that European accent of his. It sounded so very different from the American way.

"Nico?", whispered the Sea Prince softly into Nico's ear. "If... If it's too much, we can stay home today. I'm sorry for being so insistent and stubborn and, well, such a sea-weed brain."

"It's alright. I fell in love with you because you're such an adorable, stubborn sea-weed brain", chuckled the son of Hades a little amused, tilting Percy's head so he could kiss his lover. "And you were right. Hazel is my sister. And Esperanza is my niece. I love them. I just... didn't expect for it to hurt that much, that I would miss Bianca and mamma that much... Now, of all times."

"I think it's understandable", hummed Percy softly and laid down again, his ear pressed against Nico's chest so he could listen to the constant drumming of Nico's heart. "I mean, our wedding is less than half a year from now. And even though you weren't old enough for such plans back then, I guess you're at least subconsciously thinking about it... That your mom won't be there on your wedding day, that Bianca won't get to berate you and be your maid of honor."

A thoughtful frown attached itself to Nico face as he nodded slowly. "I never thought about it like that... Mh, sometimes I have the feeling you know me better than I do, mio amore."

"It's because you're my other half", shrugged Percy casually, as though it was the most obvious thing on this planet. "I love you. And you love me. I know that you know me better too."

"I really want to make love to you again right now", grunted Nico wide-eyed. "You're amazing."

"But we don't have time for that now", laughed the son of Poseidon amused, kissing his Ghost Prince's nose. "We have to shower and get dressed. Your sister and her boys are waiting."

"You know what? I changed my mind! We don't go and stay here and I fuck you! Yes?", called Nico desperately, reaching out for Percy as the son of Poseidon stood. "Please? I want you!"

/break\

"Frank, Leo. Nice to see you. Now get out of the way, I want to see the most beautiful girl on the world and get a kiss", grunted Nico as he pushed past Frank and Leo.

"Aw, that is so sweet of you, brother", smiled Hazel in the living room, holding her daughter.

"Not you", chuckled Nico and took little Esperanza from his sister. "Hello, tesorina."

The tiny Latina giggled delighted and patted Nico's face, getting a genuine smile from the Ghost King. The little miracle, the daughter of Frank and Leo, was still the star of the family, the apple of their eyes. She was just a perfect and adorable little baby and it was impossible not to love her.

"Percy, give him his own babies finally so he won't keep stealing ours", complained Leo.

Percy laughed softly and hugged the Latino. "I'll finish college before my first pregnancy, Valdez. And we're going to get married before the first baby too. No offense, guys."

"None taken", grunted Frank as he took Percy's jacket. "The pregnancy hadn't been quite planned either, after all. Not that I would ever give Sparky away again."

Sparky – as Esperanza had been dubbed right from the start – gurgled in agreement to that while hitting Nico's nose with her soft, tiny hands. Percy let Leo lead him to the couch where the two Greeks sat down together. Sea-green eyes softened as Percy stared longingly at his fiance. They had plans for own children, yes. Though those plans would wait until after college and after their wedding. But since Esperanza's birth, that was a goal hard to keep because seeing Nico with the baby was just too amazing. The otherwise rather grumpy and drawn-back son of Hades opened up and smiled so much when he was handling the baby. Percy just knew that Nico would be an amazing father once they'd have their own little ones running around their feet.

"Well, Jason, Frank and Hazel made dinner. Does anyone care for food?", interrupted Reyna with an amused smile as she carried a turkey in. "Or is Esperanza enough for you?"

"Hey, guys", greeted Jason as he followed his girlfriend. "How's Christmas so far?"

"Exhausting", grunted Nico as he reluctantly put the baby into the crib.

"Family", shrugged Percy with a small smile. "What about you? I can't even start to imagine."

"Yeah, you do better with that", groaned Jason and collapsed on a chair. "Dinner with all the huntresses and amazons was like a battle in itself. When will our sisters finally stop fighting?"

"And on Christmas Eve, we had to put up a big celebration for all Romans. Well, I did anyway. Someone pulled the 'first Christmas with the baby' card and left all praetor-duties to me", huffed Reyna with a slightly nasty glare into Frank's direction. "It was chaotic."

The son of Mars had the decency to blush brightly, which made the others laugh. Everyone gathered around the table and took their places, gossip and latest news accompanying the delicious food.

It was so late, nearly night, as Nico and Percy fell through the shadows and landed on top of their bed. Once Percy and Leo were in the same room, they could talk for hours. Not that Nico minded, as long as he got his niece's undivided attention. This girl would grow up to be a heartbreaker, Nico had it in his guts. He suddenly hoped to never have a girl of his own. Though then again, he desperately wanted a daughter. How very conflicting.

"You share the same longing, so I wish to grand you another visit. Let me show you the future."

"Fuck!", exclaimed both boys at once as they sat up and nearly hit their heads against each other.

Both stared at the sparkly thing flying in front of them and instinctively, they wrapped their arms around each other, Nico holding onto Percy to make sure the Sea Prince would stay with him and Percy holding onto Nico to make sure both would arrive wherever they had to go together.

"So... you met the pink thingy too?", asked Percy casually once they arrived/landed.

"Uhu", nodded Nico shortly, not wanting to remind Percy of his past.

"What do you think where it brought us now?", questioned the son of Poseidon.

"New Athens? I know this street, I walk past this house every morning", noted Nico curiously.

Grabbing the Ghost Prince's hand, Percy stepped up to the window. It made them both feel like voyeurs, but after what they had seen in the past, they were now more than eager for the future. The living room inside was lit, a giant Christmas tree with blue and silver decoration standing next to a sizzling fire-place. Four teenagers were sitting on a couch, laughing softly, two girls and two boys. Another girl, the splitting image of Nico's deceased sister – was standing next to the tree, her arms crossed as she seemed to chide a boy with dazzling sea-green eyes and olive-skin.

"You... think those are...", started Percy, unsure if he could finish the question.

But before Nico could answer, the front door opened and a laughing couple joined them outside. Not any couple though. It was them – Percy and Nico, but twenty years their seniors. Older Nico held a boy in his arms, one that could only be described as Mini Percy.

"Hah! I got my Christmas present!", exclaimed the small child delighted.

"What did you wish for, Jack?", asked older Percy amused.

"For more mommy and daddy time because you're always busy with my siblings so I wanted you all to myself! If we have two mommies and two daddies then I can have two to myself!"

"You're adorable, mio tesorino", smiled older Nico and kissed the boy's head. "Get inside. It's cold and I think Bia promised you a hot chocolate. Wouldn't want that to get cold, mh?"

He put Jack down and the boy dashed back into the house as though he had been hit by lightning, causing his parents to chuckle fondly before turning toward their younger selves. Percy exchanged and awkward glance with his fiance as he felt the warmth of older Nico right behind him. But his Nico didn't look much more comfortable with older Percy having one arm around his shoulders.

"Let's get the introductions done, kids", chuckled Nico, stretching the 'kids'. "Damn, do you remember being that young, mio amore? Those two are making me feel old."

"You're 36, Niccoló", huffed older Percy, making a point of stretching Nico's first name in a nearly menacing manner. "You're not old. And I think you're sleeping on the couch tonight."

"You're not old, mio bello", smiled older Nico and leaned over to kiss Percy. "Don't always act like an old geezer whenever I mention my age. Maybe I should have gotten a younger husband."

"Don't you dare joke about this", warned older Percy with a dark growl.

"I'd never think about it, Mister di Angelo", murmured older Nico soothingly, kissing his husband.

"So we still quarrel over stupid shit, yeah?", interrupted Nico a little annoyed.

"Right. Audience", nodded older Percy and blushed brightly. "Sorry. Anyway, introductions. The little one that just ran off is our youngest, Jack. The two quarreling next to the Christmas tree are our oldest, Bianca and Donny. Those are the twins, the two sets of twins that is. Thess and Percy – no, don't ask, just... blame the Stolls. And Thess is the boy, to clarify this. Like I said, don't ask. The younger twins are Silly and Jimmy, the troublesome ones."

"So... all of those are ours...?", asked Percy slowly, his eyes widened in fear. "Seven kids? I—I can not bring forth seven kids! Nico! You're not knocking me up seven times!"

"Five times", corrected both Nicos, earning themselves glares.

"What?", huffed the younger Ghost Prince defensively. "I just can count, mio amore. If we're going to have two sets of twins, then it'll only be five pregnancies. Not that that calms you any, judging by that nasty glare you're giving me there. Oh come on, mio bello, look at them. They're perfect."

The Ghost King opposite him wanted to open his mouth, but his husband elbowed him in the ribs and whispered something so low that the teens couldn't catch it. "Let them believe that our kids are perfect. It's easier and will ensure that our kids are actually conceived."

"She is-", started younger Nico slowly, his eyes wide and fixed on Bianca.

"Yes", drawled his older self with a sad yet happy smile. "Yes, she is."

"She's what?", chorused both Percys confused while their partners exchanged a secretive look.

Silence befell the two couples, both Percys leaning against their respective Nico, four pairs of eyes observing the seven children in the living room. The two oldest were still bantering, but with a happy note to it, Bianca constantly poking Donny's nose whenever he said something she didn't agree with. Thess and Jimmy were playing some kind of card game against their twin sisters – and Percy and Silly seemed to be winning. The most adorable thing was Jack, because he was sitting under the table, with the plate of cookies on his lap, devouring them all on his own secretly.

"Dudes, if you let Jack eat all cookies, he'll have a stomachache again", commented another voice.

All four of them jumped and turned around. Percy and Nico exchanged a confused look before turning toward the two teens, maybe around seventeen. One was blonde with gray eyes – the trades of Athena very obvious on the strong, muscular and tall guy. The blonde had one arm possessively wrapped around the shoulders of the one that had spoken. A brunette with interestingly dark, green eyes and a strip of light, brown hair square over his head in a longish mohawk.

"You only know that because you fed him too many cookies the last time you babysat him, Sammy", point the blonde out, grinning slightly. "Hello, Misters di Angelo. Merry Christmas."

"Hello, Trend, Samuel", nodded older Nico, regarding the blonde with a glare, which made the boy squirm uncomfortably. "Get inside. Donny is bursting with the need to hand over his presents."

But before they had a chance to get inside, older Percy pulled them into a tight hug, kissing each their foreheads. Sam grinned slightly and waved a last time before the young couple entered the house, leaving the Nicos and the Percys on their own once more.

"Who were those? More children? Because if so, I'd like to question what our mailman looks like", grunted the Ghost Prince with a growl in the back of his throat. "Well?"

"Trend and Sam are demigods", chuckled the Ghost King amused, regarding his younger self with a half-smile. "Sons of Athena and Ares respectively. Good kids. They're stuck in New Athens because of the snow storm, so we offered them to spend Christmas with us."

"I offered while Nico kept glaring at Trend and telling him to keep his hands off Sam while they're over", chuckled older Percy fondly. "Stop glaring, mio angelo. Sam is staying in Donny's room and Trend is staying on the couch. No funny business. Besides, I think you have the poor boy afraid enough that he's probably not even capable of popping a boner while you're in a mile's radius."

"And that's a good thing", grunted older Nico with a glare. "Why did you have to get me involved with those brats? You and your social, soft heart. You'll be the death of me."

"You know you love that about me", teased older Percy and stole a kiss.

"I do", answered both Nicos softly.

And in the truth of that one short sentence, Percy and Nico felt themselves pulled away from the scene and back to their own time and place. The son of Hades was still a little shaken by the realization. A day ago, he had still been angry with Percy for being so ridiculously social, but right now he realized that that was what he had always loved most about Percy. That the son of Poseidon put everyone before himself, had such a big heart and held so much love for those close to him. Sprawled on top of their bed, Nico wrapped his arms around Percy and pulled him into a tight hug.

"We are going to have seven kids", muttered Percy, to equal parts amazed, in awe and horrified. "You and your cock are dangerous. Like, there should be a warning label on it!"

"I blame Demeter", shrugged Nico, which got him a grimace from Percy. "Not like that, sicko. No, her with all that healthy food and shit she stuffs into me and Hazel when we're in the palace. That surely increases... something, I don't know. But... they looked happy. Our children."

"Not a surprise", smiled Percy and snuggled up to his fiance. "You'll be an amazing dad."

"And you'll be an amazing... What do you want to be called anyway?", asked Nico curiously.

"Huh?", grunted the son of Poseidon confused.

"Well, the male parent is the dad. Are we like papa and dad then?", wanted Nico to know.

"I'll be the one carrying the kids, I'll be the mom", huffed Percy and rolled his eyes.

"But moms are... female", pointed the son of Hades out, unsure if he should say it at all.

"Nothing about this is normal, so why should we stick with norms?", shrugged Percy nonchalantly. "I want to be the mom, because I know what moms do. I have the best mom, I know what a good mom is. I don't know anything about what dads are supposed to do. You do the hard part."

"Anything you say, mio amore", laughed Nico amused, kissing Percy. "Buon Natale, mio bello."
