Hey Guys I just want to say thank you to all who had read my story and thank you EmeraldHeart1203 for the review! Thanks all and enjoy this next chapter!
"Nico I know ten kids is a lot but please we need you. Your the only one we all trust with the kids." My sister looked at me with her beautiful golden eyes.
"Really I'm the only one you trust with all ten kids?" I was clearly not convinced.
Hazel bit her lip, " Well, everybody else was unavailable," she turned and smiled at me "And your my brother so of course I trust you with Tiger-lily."
I looked her strait in the eyes " Yes Hazel, with Tiger-lily but with nine other kids that's a big ask"
"But Nico you will only have the kids for a few hours at most. Tiger-lily is the only one staying with you all weekend long.
I looked at Hazel. I hated letting her down, she's my little sister after all. I'm the one who's supposed to be looking out for her and keeping her happy, that's what brothers do even if it means being a babysitter to 10 kids. I'm ready to tell her my decision when her phone starts to ring and she tells me she will be right back.
I'm glad that Leo eventually made phones that demigods can use without attracting attention from monsters. I started to get a little worried after his first few attempts blew up (literally, in a big fiery explosion.)
As I anxiously wait for Hazel's return I sit on my black leather couch which my father sent me when I moved in here saying that it will remind me of my room in his palace (I will never understand my fathers strange decisions).
I start to stare at my phone just laying on the table waiting for me to call some one. Who should I call... I could call Will but he's in Oklahoma visiting family. I could call my stepmother Persephone she love kids and she would know what to do with them all, but then again we don't have the greatest relationship between us. I considered calling a whole bunch of other campers before I picked up the phone to call Reyna.
She answered on the second ring "Hello."
"Hey Reyna, um... Do you think you could help me babysit 10 kids on Saturday?" I asked her, then I started to bite my lip and prayed to all the gods I knew that she would could help."
"Yeah sure Nico I'm free all day on Saturday what time do you want me to come by?"
'Yes!' I thought in my head "Um... I let you know as soon as I know what time their all coming."
"Okay see you then!"
I put the phone back down on the table just as Hazel walks back in. "Hey, Sorry to keep you waiting Frank just had to take Tiger-Lily to the hospital she accidentally nocked her front teeth lose by diving off her bike."
'What am I getting myself into?' I thought to myself " Hazel don't worry about anything I will babysit for you, the Jackson's, the Grace's and the Valdez's. Don't worry about a thing I will have everything under control."
Hazel looked at me a smiled, "Thanks Nico! Your the best big brother ever! I know the kids will be be just perfect for you! Frank and I will drop Tiger off at 9am and I believe the Everyone else will be dropping their kids off at 9:30am. Now if you need any help at all Carmel will help you or you can call Reyna. Thanks Nico! Love you! I have to meet Frank at Hermes Hospital."
As she walks out the door and I hear her pull out of the driveway I whispered to myself "Well this is going to go fabulously isn't it?"
So, before I forgot I texted Reyna 'Hey can you please come over on Saturday at 9:30? Thanks!"
Right away I got a text in response 'Can I showing at 9:45? My mom is coming over at 9 but I want to give her some time I case she gets lost or something happens. 'Cause you never know with goddesses.'
Reyna's mom is Bellona the Roman goddess of war. Sounds like a scary lady (I've never met her but let's just say a Roman goddess of war sounds terrifying, and your hearing this from the son of Hades the most feared god in Greek mythology) so I'm very understanding and texted back 'That's fine see you then."
Now your probably wondering what did you do Nico with all 10 kids for 15 minuets with out her! Well you're probably going to be glad to hear that I had no clue at the time so I did what most people do I improvise and made it up when it happened, just warning you now it wasn't the best thing to do but I had no choice! You'll understand when it happens don't worry.
