A to Z with the di Angelos

Parental Life of Heroes

21. Q is for Questions [June 2030]

"Why don't I have a girl mom? Or no, why do others have a girl mom?"

Nico blinked very slowly as he put his book down to turn to the mini Percy next to him. Jack was laying next to Nico on the bed, legs kicking up into the air. He stared up at his papà with the largest sea-green eyes possible, clearly bored and feeling the need to be entertained.

"Because...", started Nico unsure, trying to find the right words for a three-years old. "Your mamma is very special. Normally, only girls can be mommies. But very few boys, like your mamma or your uncle Leo, they're... boys but still can be moms."

Jack frowned for a moment before nodding. "Okay. I go play with my siblings!"

Nico nodded slowly and watched how Jack ran off. Bianca Maria was in the middle of doing her hair when Jack barged into the bathroom. With her other siblings, she would have glared, but Jack? Ever since he learned how to walk, he was running around the house in utter excitement and it was actually quite adorable. For a few moments, Jack just sat there and watched her.

"Why do you spend so much time in the bath with your hair?", asked Jack confused. "I don't..."

"Well, some girls and some boys like... looking very pretty when going out", explained Bianca Maria with a smile before turning to Jack and carefully braiding his hair. "Because it's fun."

Jack frowned, not really understanding, but he liked when Bia spent time with him. He smiled brightly as she braided his hair and once she was done, he dashed off to see what his other siblings were doing. PJ and Thess were playing dress-up, with Thess in a pretty princess dress and his twin-sister PJ in a knight-costume. The two were laughing and running around their bedroom.

"Why's Thess the princess? Princesses are girls", frowned Jack, tilting his head.

PJ and Thess exchanged a mischievous look before pulling a plushie dragon-costume over Jack's head. "Because this is fun. I like doing the saving and Thess likes pretending to be a princess. See. Now you're the really dangerous dragon holding the princess hostage, but that doesn't make you a real dragon either, right Jackie? So Thess can pretend to be a princess."

Jack nodded pleased by their logic before he went all 'rawr' and chased a giggling Thess through the room until PJ caught him and tickled him into submission. Pleased with the time he had spent with his older siblings, he decided to go find the other twins. They were in the living room, leaning over their homework, groaning about it as their mom handing them cookies for everything they did right.

"Why do Silly and Jimmy things they don't like?", asked Jack very confused, climbing mom's lap.

Percy laughed as he grabbed his youngest son by the waist and pulled him up properly. "It's called school. It means you will learn a lot. Ll the questions you always ask, school will help answer them. But there are always things that are boring or hard and you don't want to do them. They're still part of it though. And that's why there are cookies for that!"

Percy smiled brightly and handed Jimmy a cookie. Frowning, Jack leaned over the table to see what his siblings were doing. They were writing words and sentences, but Jimmy's handwriting was really messy. Silly's looked pretty. Tilting his head, Jack turned toward where Donny sat on the floor, cuddling with Mrs. O'Leary, who really enjoyed her scratches. Jack freed himself from his mother's grasp and hopped over to cuddle up between Donny and dog.

"When can I go to school?", asked Jack hopefully. "I wanna have all the answers!"

"Don't be too eager, tesorino", grinned Donny, ruffling Jack's hair. "It's not all awesome."

"Please don't make the little one afraid of school before he even has to start", chided Percy gravely.

"Why doesn't Donny like school?", asked Jack confused.

"Because Donny's not as popular as me", chimed Silly. "But it's okay, because we love Donny."

Donny's face softened as he looked at the younger twins and this time, Jack didn't have to ask, because he knew what that expression meant. Nothing was better than being a di Angelo.


Author's note: Well, this one turned out kinda cheesy *grins* Next one will feature Thess taking the younger twins to a trip to the underworld!
