A lot of the information here comes from Grajetzki and Dodson Hilton. For more details, images, some background information and a bibliography please consult these two works (see below)

Royal Children

Sons:
Nemtyemsaf I Merenre
Pepi II
Hornetjerkhet
Teti-ankh

Daughters:

Neith Daughter of Pepy I, and wife of Pepy II. Newberry speculated that Queen Neith is the queen Nitocris mentioned by Manetho. The legends record a Queen who avenged the murder of her brother (Nemtyemsaf I ?) and then ruled Egypt for a little over 2 years. Newberry places Neith's rule right before that of Pepy II. He speculates she may have been a regent for the boy-king. There is no conclusiive evidence for this theory. It's possible Nitocris ruled after Pepy II (not before) and it's even possible that there are scribal errors and that there was no female ruler at all.

Iput II ? Either a daughter of Pepy I or a daughter of Nemtyemsaf I. Wife of Pepy II

Inti? There is some debate as to wether Inti is a daughter of Teti or a daughter of Pepy I. It seems a bit more likely that Inti was Pepi's sister. Some have speculated that Inti was the mother of Queen Inenek-Inti. An alternative theory states that Inti could be a daughter of Pepi I and Inenek-Inti.
I'm not sure why it has not been suggested that Inti could be the daughter of Teti and was given the name Inenek-Inti after her marriage to her brother Pepy I.

Nekhebu also called Merptah-Ankhmeryre  Mastaba G2381  in Giza
Possibly Inti’s grandson?
Titles include: King’s Architect and Builder in the Two Houses, Overseer of all the Works of the King, Overseer of Royal Commissions of the Pyramid Menneferpepy, Sole Companion, First under the King, Chief Lector, etc.
Nekhebu’s autobiographical text outlines 4 missions:
I: In Lower Egypt Nekhebu worked on Ka-mansions and had administrative duties in three different locations: a “City of Lakes”, Akhbit, and the pyramid of Pepy (I). It seems that he worked for 6 years on the pyramid.
II: In Lower Egypt he oversaw the digging of a canal between Akhbit and the Residence.
III: In Upper Egypt Nekhebu oversaw the digging of a canal in Kus.
IV: Nekhebu carried out works on the pyramid monument at Heliopolis.
Nekhebu was apparently trained by an older brother named Merptah-Ankhpepy (also King’s Architect and Builder in the Two Houses, Overseer of all the Works of the King, Lector Priest, etc.).
