Hello! And welcome to my new story, Family! This is a series of one shots about the families of the seven. I've only got a few ideas about what to write, though, so suggestions would be great! Enjoy! Warning: these chapters are in no particular order.

Annabeth sat on the couch, happy that she finally had some time to herself. All day it had been run here, run there. Thank goodness Leo was able to watch Emmy and Jacob today. Annabeth reached towards the coffee table to pick up one of her books when Emmy wandered over. Annabeth sighed, but Emmy's in kindergarten now, and every day she comes home with a new story.
"Hey Emmy, how was your day?"
"Good," the little girl responded, surprising her mother. Normally the little girl would've jumped right into a story at the question.
After a pause, Emmy asked, "Mommy? Where do babies come from?"
She'd been hoping that this question would stay away for a few more years. Either way, Annabeth tells Emmy the response her and Percy had come up with, "Well, Emmy, the little babies live in castles with everything they could ever want, except for one thing. There's no one there to love them. So they live sadly in the castles waiting until the day a fairy comes to them and tells them a family wants them and whisks them into our world."
Emmy stared at her mother with big green eyes before saying, "Really? Uncle Leo says that babies happen when grown ups do some weird stuff."
Gasping at the response, Annabeth asked her daughter, "Oh? What kind of stuff?"

A few minutes later, little Emmy finishes up her story, "Then the baby grows inside of the mommy, making her do weird stuff like cry a lot or eat mayonnaise on ice cream. Then, once the baby has tortured the mommy for nine months, it's water bed breaks and it gets pooped!"
Emmy waited patiently for her mother to respond.
"Yes, Emmy, everything Leo told you is true, just don't go telling your brother, or anyone else for that matter without my permission, okay?"
The young blonde nodded enthusiastically at her mother, and went to go find her book. Annabeth sighed and went over to the Iris Messaging station and called someone she needed to talk to.

Leo was having pretty good day. He watched Emmy and Jacob for a little while, and man, those kids are awesome! Emmy, though, well, she's very curious, like her mother. So, when Jacob asked why Calypso looked fat, and Leo told him she was having a baby, Emmy immediately asked how that happens. He didn't know what else to do, so she told her how it works. Now that their mother picked them up, he could safely work in his forge.
Leo looked down at the technology he'd been working on, and shoved it aside, bored. He glanced around, and noticed an Iris Message being connected.
The instant the figure calling him appeared, Leo gulped. it's been awhile since he saw those stormy gray eyes as mad as they were.
Her voice yells at him, "LEO VALDEZ!"
Leo gulped, oh crap.
