A to Z with the di Angelos

Parental Life of Heroes

14. M is for Monsters [October 2028]

"Okay. Two Disney princesses, one DreamWorks hero, one puppy and one kitten and one little frog", mused Percy as he checked through his kids. "...One's missing. Silly, where's Jimmy?"

Silly straightened her Ariel princess dress and shrugged with a frown. "I dunno, mommy."

Sighing, Percy handed Jackie in his frog costume over to Bianca Maria in her Merida princess dress, kissing the little frog on the forehead before heading upstairs once more. Thess the kitten and Percy the puppy were chasing each other around the living room table, while Nico sat on the couch with Donny who was dressed up as Hiccup. Nico himself was dressed as Batman while Percy was dressed as Nightwing. They were all ready to leave for the big Halloween party Annabeth was throwing in the city hall for their generation and their kids. There was only one missing.

"Hey there, Jimmy", whispered Percy softly as he laid down on the floor in front of Jimmy's bed.

The five-years-old boy stared out at his mommy with frightened eyes. "Hello, mommy."

"What's up, buttercup?", asked Percy as he crawled under the bed to join his son, smiling soothingly at Jimmy and pulling him into a hug. "Why are we hiding down there?"

"Because we won't want the scary monsters to find us", mumbled Jimmy softly.

Percy's eyes widened in realization. Jimmy was five, this year had been his and Silly's first summer at camp. They had seen real monsters for the very first time. Apparently, suddenly the fun monsters of Halloween and cartoons were not quite as funny anymore. Pulling Jimmy closer (and effectively hitting his head on the bed), Percy kissed his son's cheek.

"Tesorino, I love you", whispered Percy firmly. "I love you and I will always protect you. You know mommy and daddy are big heroes, right? We'd never let any monster hurt you."

"...The other kids says that", mused Jimmy, tilting his head. "They say that my mommy is a really-really big hero. I always thinked you just say that because all mommies and daddies say that to their kids. But everyone says my mommy is the biggest hero..."

Percy blushed a bit in embarrassment. "I wouldn't say the biggest hero, but... yeah, pretty big. So, you see, your mommy would never let anything or anyone harm you, bambino."

"Pinkie-promise?", asked Jimmy, sticking his little finger up.

Percy grinned and hooked fingers. "Pinkie-promise. You'll be all-all safe with us."

"And mommy will stay with me all day?", asked Jimmy unsure. "To make sure no monsters come?"

"Mommy won't leave your side", promised Percy, kissing the top of Jimmy's head. "Now, will you come out of the hiding place and we dress you up for the party?"

"Can I be Eric?", asked Jimmy hopefully. "Silly is Ariel, right? I wanna be Eric then!"

"Sure, why not?", chuckled Percy as they crawled out from their hiding place.

Once he got Jimmy into his costume and had him on his arm, Percy proceeded back downstairs where the rest of the family was waiting. Nico, with Jackie shouldered, leaned over to kiss Jimmy's nose and the corner of Percy's mouth before ushering all their off-springs out. Jimmy climbed up onto Percy's shoulders, arms wrapped around Percy's forehead.

"So, what was the problem?", asked Nico, holding Silly's hand with his free hand.

"Jimmy was afraid of the monsters", replied Percy. "But we got it all worked out, right?"

"Mommy will protect me", declared Jimmy, face hidden in Percy's hair.

"That he will", agreed Nico with fond, tender eyes. "Mommy will always be there for all of us."

"And so will daddy", countered Percy with a smirk.

"And Silly!", declared Silly loudly, jumping up and down. "I'll always protect you too, Jimmy!"

Jimmy hummed softly, smiling against his mommy's hair, watching how his siblings ran and played and chatted while all those scarily costumed others were walking around New Athens. But it was okay, because mommy and daddy were going to protect him.


Author's note: Next chapter is going to focus on Bianca Maria and Percy and Percy being an awesome mom (because what else is new? *grins*)!
