Hi everyone! Thanks for the reviews. I agree that the ending wasn't the best. I was going to make a Christmas one but I ran out of time. There's going to be a New Years one up by the 31st though. Anyways, on with the story. This one is a little different, I have a feeling you'll either love it or hate it. I hope you love it! Here's a little chart thing to help with all the names. They're pretty random.

(You might not get it until you read the story)

Percabeth- Leah(9), Luke(6), Silena(4)

Jasper/Jiper- Sky(7), Brendan(6), Andrew(4), Juliet(3)

Frazel- Emily(7)

Caleo- Adam(6), Charlie(4), not born yet- unnamed baby

Leah Grace Jackson

I pressed my ear up against the door, straining to hear more. My parents were inside their room, 'discussing something important and for grown-ups only' as my mom had said before shutting the door in my face. Our really close friends, the Grace's, Valdez's, and Zhang's, who were practically family, were over and all of the parents were talking in the room.

"When are they going to be done talking! I'm hungry!" 7 year old Sky Grace said loudly. We all turned around and shushed her. She was silent at once. Emily Zhang pressed her ear next to mine and we both listened. I was 9 and Emily was 7, like Sky. My brother Luke ran around in circles chasing Sky's brother Brendan, and Charlie Valdez. I called the girls together and we huddled up.

"How do you plan on listening?" Sky's sister Juliet asked me. She was only 3, and didn't know too much on spying. I was a pro. I tossed by black curly hair to one side and leaned forward. My sister Silena who was only 4 stood by the door to her room, debating with herself whether she leaves us to go play or stays with us to be mature. Spoiler alert- she stays.

"Let's just set up a formation against the wall. Sky, Emily, Adam, Brendan, and I will line up on the door somehow. Charlie, Juliet, Andrew, Luke, and Silena can line up against the wall," I announced. They nodded and Adam and Charlie gave me a military salute.

"Sir yes sir," Charlie said. I glared at them with my steely gray eyes and they cowered in fear.

"I mean, ma'am yes ma'am!" I nodded, showing it was better and took my position on the door. The youngest one here was Juliet, and she was only three, so she probably had no idea what was going on. I had an idea.

"Anyone who doesn't want to spy, go to Silena's room and play." Nobody moved. I smiled, happy they all wanted to stay. I didn't need to have my ear up against the door for what I heard next.

"Why? Are you insane?!" my aunt Piper screamed. Sky turned to me and I shrugged.

"No! They needed to know, so we did what was best for our children and told them! I highly recommend you do that too, Piper," my mom yelled back. Silena, Luke and I all looked at each other. What did she tell us that Aunt Piper hadn't told Brendan, Sky, Andrew, and Juliet?

"Guys, if you're going to keep fighting, be my guest, but the rest of us are leaving," someone said. I realized what this meant a second too late. We had all been pressed up against the door. And when it opened, we all fell into the room. I was on the bottom of a huge pile of kids. Once everyone rolled off of me, I looked up and ended up looking into gray eyes just like my own.

"Leah, would you like to explain what this is?" My mom asked me. I shook my head.

"Emily?" She asked. Emily shook her head. My mom went along the line.

"Sky?" Nothing.

"Luke?" Nothing

"Brendan? Charlie? Adam? Andrew?" She asked everyone until she came to little Silena and Juliet.

"Can you explain what's going on for Mommy?" She asked. Juliet started to say something and my mom interrupted.

"Sorry, Mommy for Silena. Juliet- can you tell Aunt Annabeth what's going on?" Silena shook her head.

"They were pying on you," Juliet said.

"Spying?" Aunt Piper asked, leaning down next to my mom. All the other adults looked at us. I looked at my shoes. My uncle Leo bent down so he was at our level.

"Nice job kids! We actually didn't catch you, proof of good spying. You did learn from the best," he said, pointing to himself at the end. My mom, Aunt Piper, Aunt Hazel, and Aunt Calypso all rolled their eyes while all the men laughed. Uncle Leo was always the one to go to if you wanted a good laugh.

"Mommy, what did you not tell us that Aunt Annabeth told Leah, Luke, and Silena?" Sky asked her mom. This was going to be awkward. The adults glanced at each other nervously. It was at that moment that Aunt Calypso gasped and leaned forward, clutching her swollen stomach. She was due to have her third baby any day now.

That day was today. Everyone started yelling and they herded us into the den. My dad, Uncle Frank, and Uncle Jason stayed with us while the moms and Uncle Leo drove her to the hospital. Adam and Charlie were trying to convince my dad to let them go to the hospital with them.

"Let's tell a story," Uncle Jason said. We all looked up and listened carefully. Our parents stories were always about fighting monsters and quests and stuff. The best thing was that they had actually lived it all. Yup, I mean it. My parents are demigods, sons and daughters of the Greek gods and goddesses. My mom's a daughter of Athena and my dad's a son of Poseidon, which explains why I'm super smart and can control water.

But the best part is that all of us are demigods too, all of the kids. Both of our parents are half-bloods, so we are too. Instead of having one godly parent, we have two godly grandparents. For me, it's Poseidon and Athena, and the only thing they agree on is the three of their grandchildren, Silena, Luke, and I. For Sky, her grandparents are Aphrodite and Zeus. Emily's grandparents are Pluto and Mars, since she's Roman.

Adam and Charlie are different though, because their mom, Aunt Calypso, is the daughter of a Titan. She was immortal until Uncle Leo rescued her from Ogygia, the island she was forever stuck on. They're still demigods, but in a different form. I've heard ALL the stories. Quests to Rome, Greece, the Bermuda Triangle, the Labyrinth, Olympus, the Underworld, and more.

"This story is a story about true love," Uncle Jason continued. The boys groaned and the girls awwwed.

"There's violence in the next one he's going to tell," Uncle Frank said, making the boys all whoop.

"Once, there was a princess, and she was looking for her prince, who had been taken away from her. She looked all over, and couldn't find him. Until one day, someone came and told her a clue. The princess figured out the clue and decided to set sail at once. The only ship available was a giant flying warship called the...2 Goar." (AN/ Anybody get it?)

"She and three of her friends set about on their long journey across the country. Their ship flew fast, it was quite advanced. When they finally arrived, there were complications. A man guarded the boundaries of the kingdom that her prince was in. The princess, being a smart young lady, told the man that they would take a ladder down. This princess wasn't your normal princess. She didn't like fancy dresses and wore her hair in a messy ponytail. She was wearing a simple shirt and shorts when they arrived. The princess climbed down the ladder and saw her prince standing there in new armor, for he was prince at this kingdom now. Her friends came with her and people eyes their swords and knives with worry. You see, one of the princess' friends had been the old prince of this kingdom," Uncle Jason said, and then took a deep breath to continue.

"Wait, I know this story! It's A-" my dad started, but Uncle Jason talked over him.

"The princess saw her prince and couldn't help but run to him. They kissed and everyone could see the love they shared. Little did they know, one of their friends took a picture. Then the princess pulled away and flipped him over. She landed on top of him and started to threaten something about if he ever left her again before he cut her off with a kiss. Everyone else was watching them, not knowing what to do next. The way they looked into each others eyes showed how much love they shared. And the prince and the princess lived happily ever afterward kept the picture that showed their love hanging in their palace forever. The end," Uncle Jason finished.

"I'm not sure that's exactly how it went down," a voice said from the corner. It was my mom. Her eyebrows were arched and her gray eyes looked amused.

"Did my mommy have the baby yet?" Adam asked leaping up. My mom shook her head, her blonde curls bouncing.

"She's in labor, I'm here to pick you guys up. Adam and Charlie, that is," she replied.

"What do you mean about how that wasn't how it worked? Were you there?" Luke asked. My mom looked at my dad and they smiled warmly at each other. And as I saw the love in their eyes, it all clicked.

"She's the princess and dad is the prince!" I blurted out.

"Wow Leah, you figured that out quickly. I tried to make it sort of hypothetical," Uncle Jason said. I grinned at him.

"Like my mom always says, she's glad I inherited her level of smartness and not Dad's," I told him. Uncle Frank, Uncle Jason, and both my parents laughed at this.

"I always used to tease your dad about his dumbness and then I realized that he was actually pretty smart. But I still had to say that, 'cause otherwise I would have no good material. I couldn't use his looks, or his skills and abilities, since they were really good. I had to use his IQ," my mom said. Sky, Emily, and I laughed. The other kids looked confused. Especially Juliet and Silena.

My mom left and took Adam and Charlie with her. And for the rest of the afternoon, the adults told stories about their adventures, and there was violence, and action, and romance. Something for everyone. It was better than any fairytale. Later that day, my mom, Aunt Piper, and Aunt Hazel came home.

"Aunt Calypso had a girl. They named her Esperanza, after Uncle Leo's mom," my mom announced to everyone. That only stopped us for a minute. Now, the moms joined in the storytelling. We told stories late into the night and eventually stopped and spread out sleeping bags on the floor in the den for all of us kids. The adults got our beds.

That night, I fell asleep thinking of quests and dragons and romance all at the same time.
