Prompt: Kids
"Jason, can you go pick Jasper up from Percy and Annabeth's?" Piper asked me while standing in the kitchen making lunch.
"I would love to my dear." I replied. I grabbed the keys from the key basket and ran out the door to my Jeep. Percy and Annabeth only lived about two or three blocks away, so I could walk to go get my son, if it was summer. We lived in a small town in New York, so it was freezing during the winters. Piper wanted to settle in a very desolate area because, and I quote, "No monsters, No worries."
Within two or three minutes I arrived at Percy and Annabeth's house. I walked up to the brick house and knocked on the door a few times. I heard footsteps coming up to the door and waved as the face pressed .
"Who is it?" Percy's voice asked from behind the door.
"Jason. I want my son back." I said jokingly. I head Percy chuckle before opening the door and letting me in. "How was he?" I asked.
"Perfect. He's a great kid Jason." Percy said with a smile.
I saw little Jasper run towards me from the kitchen. His blonde hair was falling in front of his face and his blue eyes shone bright in the light. Sure, he got my looks, but he sure does have Piper's temper and attitude."Daddy!" He said before enveloping me in a hug. I lifted him up so he rested on my shoulder. We said goodbye to Percy and Annabeth and left for the car.
"Did you have fun, buddy?" I asked him, looking in the rear-view mirror at the little boy playing with his hands.
"Yeah. Uncle Percy tought me how to tie a bunch of knots. He says that by the time I'm four, I'll be able to tie a bunch of knots." He stated matter-of-factly.
I supressed a small smile. He was only two and a half, and he was already acting like he was seven. It's crazy how fast time goes by. "That's awesome. What do you want for lunch?" I asked.
"Grilled cheese!" He squealed. I pulled into our small driveway and helped Jasper unlock his seatbelt.
Piper was waiting in the kitchen with two grilled cheese sandwiches waiting for me and Jasper. "Thanks, love." I said, holding her waist gently and kissing her lightly on the lips.
You know, when I first met Piper, and I mean actually met Piper, on the bus, I wasn't expecting that I was going to fall in love with her in a few short years, marry her and then raise a family with her. I probably would've told someone they were crazy if they came up to me a few years ago and told me that!
When night fell Piper and I had to put a sleepy Jasper to bed. I always thought his name was so funny, considering my sister's the one who picked it out."You should name your baby Jasper, if it's a boy. I mean, if you take the first half of Jason's name and the second half of Piper's name, it's a real name!" She'd said, although I don't think she was very sober when she said it.
We put the little boy in his room full of stuffed animals and toys, mostly gifts from our parents to be honest, and Piper and I watched as he fell asleep. I heard Piper sigh next to me. I looked over at her leaning on the door frame and pulled her into my arms. "All ours, honey. He's all ours." I whispered.
That was cute :3 Thanks to everyone for following and favoring and reviewing because it makes me feel all warm inside!
