Chapter 10

POV Hazel

Last night was so surreal. I'm becoming Hazel Jackson and that is the best thing I have ever said. It might seem that Percy and Annabeth are moving fast. They are but not in a bad way. If they want us why not let them have us? And us them. We deserve it. I for one am so excited to get out of the damn system. 12 years in the system is a long time and I'm tired of being in it. I'm so happy I could explode.

I'm sitting in the family room with Thalia watching some dance show that she likes while I read a book. I only look up from it when Annabeth walks in. She seems worn out I don't blame her though six kids is a lot of work for just two people. Especially with all of us being at different stages in our lives. It's crazy to think that they still want to adopt us and be legally responsible for us as well as just becoming out forever parents.

"Hey girls," she said "do you want to run some errands with me? I need to go to the store and by the post office." I looked at Thals who looked at me.

"Sure." I said Thalia nodded.

We followed Annabeth to the car and got in. On our way to the post office she started asking us questions about school how it's going if there is anything we are trying out for. You know mom questions. It was really nice to have someone ask.

"So how has school been? I feel like I haven't talked with just you two in a while."

"I joined the dance team." said Thalia

"That's cool I was on the dance team when I was at Goode. All four years. It was hell. Although that probably had something to do with our coach. Who's yours?"

"Ours is Selena, she's so good. She actually said that I have a lot of potential and that if I work at it, I could be captain. The others aren't too happy about it, but I don't really care what they think I'm going to work by butt off for this."

"That is so exciting! Wow I never thought about it before but, I have always wanted to be a dance mom." we all kind of stopped talking for a minute. "Sorry just ever since Percy and I have decided to adopt all of you I just get excited about this kind of stuff."

"No, no it's cool I've always wanted someone to actually care enough to go to my events. I understand it's probably weird for you and Percy to think about adopting all of us right now and don't know what's what." Thalia said with a big smile. Annabeth smiled back at her.

"You are right at that it is a little weird but mostly it's super exciting and I can't wait to sit at all your competitions with you, I don't know how often we can get Jason and the boys to come but I can bet my ass Percy will be there for every single one." She smiled, so did Thaila.

"I actually was thinking about becoming your guy's manager if this play thing doesn't pull through."

"Hazel are you serious? I have heard you sing, you're great you are totally going to be the lead."

"Let's hope." I said.

We stopped talking for a while. Annabeth was the first to break the comfortable silence.

"So… any lookers at that school of yours? I only had eyes for Percy when I was there which I guess is good because I married the fool." We all laughed.

Thalia got red in the face. I smiled because yes, I did think that I had found someone special. Poor Thalia had to watch Leo and this girl Reyna suck face a lot. That didn't mean that she couldn't look at him though. I have caught him starting a few different times actually.

"Well I mean maybe but it's not like I can do anything about it he has a girlfriend. It doesn't help that she is cheating on him with one of his good friends from the football team. It's all a mess and he is worth so much more than that, it's so frustrating to watch." she said with a frown.

"That's terrible but I still need names people." she just looked out the window.

"It's Leo." I said Thalia shot me a look.

"Hazel has a thing for Frank." she said.

Okay so yea Frank is freaking fine as hell, sure he is like 10 feet taller than me but still the things I would do to that boy.

"Okay yes, I do like Frank, but can you blame me he's is easy on the eyes." Annabeth just laughed.

"Well if it means anything I think they are both really sweet boys. Even if Leo can't get his head out of his ass and see what he is missing. I have got to know both pretty well you know with knowing their parents and all." We both smiled. "Which also not that it matters but Percy has gotten quite protective of you girls so if you do ever start dating just know that you will have to deal with him. Plus, Jason and Connor, I am sure."

Even if that was the most embarrassing thing in my life time I wouldn't care because there would be someone that would want to make sure I was being treated right.

POV Thalia

The conversation that Hazel and I had with Annabeth really got me thinking about how Leo has no idea that Reyna is cheating on him Malcom. I didn't want to say anything in front of Annabeth because that is her brother. But come on anyone with eyes can see that even if I have caught Leo staring at my ass or just at me in general, he won't do anything about as long as he is with her. Which shows that he really does care and doesn't want to be a cheater and that is fantastic. I just don't get why he doesn't do something about her. I decided that I needed to have a heart to heart about this with Jason about this he always helps me work through a problem. I knocked on his door.

"Come in."

I opened the door to see him sitting on his bed with his phone in his hand smiling down at it like a love-sick idiot.

"What's got you so smiley?" he looked up blushed.

"Nothing." He said

"So, Piper?" he sighed and nodded with a small smile. "Well I need some advice."

He patted the spot next to him. I take the offered seat and lay down next to him. I was staring at the ceiling he let me sit for a minute and then asked.

"Okay, I can't help if you don't talk so what is it?"

"Well you know how I have this minor crush on Leo?" he nodded "Well he is dating Reyna and I really wish this weren't true because it's so terrible this is happening to him, but the bitch is cheating on him. Plus, it's Malcom, I know they are close that makes it worse." I paused

"And you need me to say?" he asked

"I just want to know if it were you and say Piper were cheating on you with Frank would you want me to tell you?" he thought about it for a minute.

"I don't know Thalia, as my sister yes, as my best friend no." I was confused "You and Leo got close over the summer, right?" I nodded "So you guys are kind of close and you know a lot about each other, I just wouldn't want him to get mad at you for telling him something that would hurt him in the end. Especially since also he has a crush on you." I looked at him like 'what the hell' "Are you serious you haven't seen the way he looks at you?"

"Of course, I have, I may have a staring problem too." I said with red cheeks while playing with my hands.

"You know Thals I think you should wait a while he will figure it out soon enough. I know that Malcom isn't the best liar and he has a big heart and cares for Leo, so he is either going to break or make Reyna tell him the truth." I nodded

"I know it's just I want to have a chance. I have never felt like this for anyone ever. You know that." He hugged me

"He would be stupid to not want you Thals." He kissed my head and then said, "I think Annabeth was making Tacos, let's go see if she needs help." I nodded

"Thanks, little bro."

"Two minutes you're older by two minutes." I laughed

"Still older." I said with a smirk he rolled his eyes.

I hope Leo realizes what is happening behind his back soon, because I for one don't want to see him get hurt.

POV Annabeth

It was such a happy day. It meant the world to me that the girls talked to me like I use to talk to my mom when I was their age. I love that they have boys that I know will treat them like princess if and when they get together. Even if one of them is still too stupid to see that he is getting cheated on.

It was bed time for the little boys and Travis and Dakota have gotten in the habit of liking a story before they go to sleep. So, each night me and Percy will switch what boy we read to. Tonight, it was my turn to read to Travis.

"Alright Trav what book?" he looked at his shelf, he had his hand on his hip and his finger tapping his chin.

"I think I would like..." he paused "Are You My Mother." he grabbed it, and we sat on the bed.

He leaned his head on my chest and was falling sleep as I read to him. I finished the book and was about to leave when he grabbed my hand.

"Annabeth?"

"Yea baby?"

"Are you my mother?" I couldn't help it tears came to my eyes. I bent down and kissed his head.

"Travis, I would love to be your mother if that's what your." he smiled

"Good night mommy."

Then he turned over and fell asleep. I was walking back to my room with a smile on my face. This day could not get better. Percy was already in bed he looked up when I walked in.

"What's got you all smiley?" he asked

"I read Are You My Mother to Travis and before I left the room he asked if I was his mom. I said I would be if that's what he wanted. Which he answered with goodnight mommy." I went over and crawled over and rested my head on his chest. He held me close.

"How was your day with the girls?"

"It was good I found out a couple of things that I think might not like." he tensed "Oh calm down papa bear there not terrible they just told be what boys they have their eyes on. I think you will approve of them. Well one of them is still taken but that's okay you were taken when I saw you. That never stopped me." I said with a smile. He smiled at me too.

"Well don't leave me hanging here who are they."

"Leo and Frank. Thalia likes Leo, but he is still with that Reyna girl, she works at the aquarium, right?" he nodded "Well any way Hazel says that Frank is easy on the eyes." I chuckled "Which is funny she said that because that's what I told my mom about you the first time she asked me about it." he laughed and kissed my head.

"You're right I do approve but those boys better understand I just got these girls, so they aren't taking them from me just yet. Leo better realize that he is missing out on an amazing girl or I'm not going to be happy." I smiled at him. "Also, mama bear you should know that Jason and Piper have found a way to reach each other's balconies. Took them long enough." I looked at him.

"Oh yea?"

"Yea Piper takes a shelf out of her closet and puts it between the gap and then one of them crawls over to the other side. It's pretty smart actually."

"And really dangerous." I said. He nodded "We can talk about that later right now I am tired. Good night I love you." I said and kissed him.

"I love you more."

We turned the lights out and went to sleep.

Okay so one thing every time I am talking about Annabeth and Percy in their room getting ready for bed I can't help but picture Percy sitting in bed with something like a book or and iPad and reading glasses on. Thought I would share that okay so that's all I have for now. Please let me know what you thought about the revised chapter. If you aren't new did you like what I added. I did change Leo and Thalia's relationship a little bit. If you are new welcome and thank you so much for reading. Alright that's all thanks!
