The sweet
A.N: This one takes place about ten years after The blood of Olympus. Jason and Piper live together in new Rome.
"Jason, Dulcia needs fresh diapers. Jason, did you hear me? Your daughter needs to get changed NOW!" Piper shouted while frantically searching for her purse.
"Why can't you do that, Honey? I'm going to meet up with Percy and Nico, we wanted to have a duel and-"
"Then tell them that you come later" she interrupted him without even looking up. "You daughter needs you. Oh, and make sure she doesn't flies away this time. I don't want to chase her over half of new Rome again."
Piper shook her head at the thought. Why did she have to marry a flying man? It was great sometimes, but why did the baby have to inherit that particular gift!?
"But the du-" Piper turned to face Jason, looked at him with her big beautiful eyes.
"Please~, for me?" she knew he couldn't say no when she asked him like that. You could call it a dirty trick to get one's will, but Piper didn't see why you shouldn't use your gifts for daily things too.
"Okay, but I have to tell Nico and Percy..."
"I can do that," she said quickly and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He hadn't shaved yet. The stubble was kind of cute on him.
Piper finally found her purse and opened the door to their little apartment. "I'll be back in a few hours" she gave Jason a last goodbye-kiss.
"And who will take care of Dulcia? I'll be at the duel and you will be.. wherever you're going.."
"Then take her with to the duel!"
Jason stopped and looked at her, surprised. "Seriously?"
Piper gave him an odd look. She couldn't see the problem. "She can't be safer than with the sons of the big tree now can she?"
Jason thought for a second. "Good point..."
Piper flashed one of her beautiful smiles. "Okay then, see you later"
She closed the door behind her, sighing with relief before making her way down town to meet up with Hazel and Frank.
"Piper! Over here!" Hazel waved her over to the small café table.
Piper hadn't seen her in a while. She and Frank were just home after their trip to China where they had stayed for almost a year. She smiled and walked over to them.
"Hi, It's been a while," Frank said, while standing up to hug her.
"Yes, too long" she agreed before hugging them both.
"How was it in China?" Piper sat down and ordered something to drink.
"Nice, but with an awful lot of strange monsters," Hazel shuddered at the thought.
"The monsters weren't all bad. That dragon for example, he let us ride to the next village for a few of Hazels gold nuggets."
Piper stared at them, shocked. "Aren't those cursed?" she asked.
"Not to dragons apparently. Maybe it's like Percy's Achilles curse, If it comes in contact with other mythologies it doesn't work..." Hazel said thoughtfully.
"I wonder if my charmspeak would work, I mean it works on Roman monsters so I guess…" Piper trailed off.
This was way over her head. She'd ask Annabeth about it later. Annabeth. Percy. The duel. "Oh shit!" Piper stood up. "Sorry guys, I promised Jason I'd tell Percy that he would be late for the duel! I guess I'm too late now, but at least I can take Dulcia. I owe him that much. I'll be back!"
Piper hurried down the street towards the arena. "Oiiiiiiii!" Piper turned her head when she heard the familiar noise. The next moment she saw the cause. A flying baby soared through the air towards her with a cute grin on her face. Not again! was the only thing she could think before Dulcia tackled her in a hug.
"Mommy" she said and giggled.
"Dulcia.." Paper said in a faint voice. "Where is your daddy?"
As if on cue Jason came flying around the corner. "Good, you caught her."
Piper looked at Jason and lifted an eyebrow. "A two year old flies faster than you?"
Jason was too out of breath to answer at first. "Don't underestimate the advantage of being small. I'd like to see you trying to squeeze through an open window while trying not to lose sight of your baby!"
Piper smiled a bit. Jason was so cute when he was embarrassed. "I'm so sorry for forgetting about telling the others. I can take Dulcia now."
A.N: Dulcia means the sweet in latin. Ha! See, the title had a double meaning! Anyway, hope you liked this chapter. Please tell me if I should do more "In the future" chapters like this one or not.
