Lesson 1: Sometimes The Easy(Lazy) Way Is The Right Way

Sometimes it can be really hard, sometimes it comes naturally but when you're a demigod and have fought in a war, commanded Legions and aren't quite sure most of your life if you will live to see next sunrise, the thought of babysitting any kid let alone your own never comes in mind.

Perhaps, the same was for Frank Zhang. He was Praetor of New Rome, commanded undead legions, taught archery at camp Jupiter but the campers weren't exactly toddlers that didn't have any responsibility, they were kids/teens yes but had experience with fighting monsters.

The test for his parenting skills came the day when Hazel told her husband she has to go on an important trip to Los Angeles

"Frank, I have to go on an important trip to Los Angeles. Can you please look after Emerald while I'm gone?"

"Of course I will. I'm Emmy's father aren't I?" Frank chuckled.

"Of course you are." Hazel rolled her eyes with a smile "If there is any trouble you can call Piper or Annabeth, alright?"

"Hopefully there wont be any need" Frank smiled and kissed Hazel "I'll miss you"

I'll miss you too", Hazel whispered "And you, don't bother daddy too much okay?"

Frank sighed and smiled as the little toddler made spit bubbles and hugging a stuff panda bear that was twice her size. Emerald tried to pick the giant bear up but ended up having the giant bear falling on her. Daddy Frank chuckled but it was short lived as the baby girl burst into tears and wailed.

The son of Mars picked her up from under the teddy and rocked her in his arms. "Shh, its all right Emmy, its okay. Its okay baby girl." The little girl calmed and sniffled as she stared at Frank with big tearful golden eyes, her chubby cheeks red and blotchy and she grabbed Frank's hair.

"There, there, it's fine. Now let'swipe those big tearful eyes." Frank whispered as he carried her to the kitchen tap and wiped her tears away with wet hands and dried them with a soft towel.

"Now what should we do, Emerald? Do you want to play a game or should we..." Frank's incomplete question was answered by a grumbling growl that Frank wasn't sure if it came from Emerald or him. "Or maybe some lunch?" receiving a toothy sloppy grin from the dark haired toddler in his arms showing all of her six tiny, pearly white teeth, which may we add was contagious and Daddy Frank was grinning too as he took out a box of Cerelac from the kitchen cabinet and sat Emerald in her high chair.

Frank poured a little juice in the little girl's sippy cup and handed to her as he went to make the little baby food in a bowl and grabbed her bib.

Tying the bib around her neck and feeding the child, Frank realized that feeding is very messy work. Emerald would try and put her fingers in the Cerelac bowl and constantly drip juice from her sippy cup every where. By the time feeding time was over, Frank's hands were sticky, the high chair had an artistic design on its little table made of juice and baby food and Emerald... ahhh let's just say she was a mess and quite smelly too. If you catch my drift.

A grimace formed on Frank's features but it changed into slight panic as the baby began to wail from the gross and uncomfortable feeling of it all.

"Hey, calm down. Let's go change your diaper" Frank said as he picked the baby up "And maybe give you a bath"

They first went to the little nursery where Frank grabbed a fresh diaper, wipes, baby powder, lotion, new clothes and a towel.

With a cherry red face, daddy dearest had cleaned his baby girl and took her to the bath. Settled nicely in her little bath tub filled with water and bubbles. Emerald giggled as she splashed and almost bit her little rubber ducky which Frank covered with his hand "No, no Emmy, no." and the little ducky's head was spared.

Frank chuckled. He massaged shampoo on her little, soft head and Frank was struck with how small and fragile she was. She was tiny, filled with innocence that was not tainted with the cruel brutality of this world. Her little fingers were soft and tender, her head so soft with little silky hair and those eyes. Hazel's eyes were pure and not corrupted.

Frank's heart clenched. He will protect his little girl from the matter what. Nothing will ever hurt her, no monster, no god or titan. No one. Especially not some boy. Definitely not some boy. Frank shuddered at the thought of Emerald bringing a boy home. There will never be a boy good enough for his baby girl.

"Dada" a tiny voice echoed in the bathroom, pulling at Frank's heart strings, filling his eyes with tears of joy and a crazy smile appeared on his face, the unknown tension that had gripped his form, melted away as he picked her up in his arms and twirled her in the air.

She called him Dada! She knew how to say mama and he begged her to call him Dada but to no avail. Until today that is. Frank was dancing with the little girl who was squealing with laughter as he wrapped her in a towel and took her to Hazel and his room. He made little fart bubbles on her tummy as she giggled even more. Frank pulled her diaper on and placed her in a little panda bear romper which had small ears on the hood.

Frank kissed her forehead as she yawned and rubbed her eyes. "Time to get you to bed" He took the little girl in her arms and laid her on his chest but she just stared at him as if she was trying to tell him something. Click. Her giant panda bear. She always sleeps with it and it is down stairs in the living room.

So Frank found an easy way of doing this. He would transform like he did to escape the Chinese handcuffs. No, not as Chameleon. A panda bear.

Frank's body began to shrink and go round and chubby soon he was a black and white fluffy panda. Emerald's little eyes were filled with awe as she giggled and yawned. Slowly drifting to sound slumber.

Later that day when Hazel Zhang would return she would come to find little Emmy dressed as a panda sleeping on Daddy Panda.

Now where is her camera?

I apologize for mistakes or anything else you would like to criticize.
