Disclaimer: I don't own PJO.

I seem to be doing greek children of the big three's POVs. Percy, Thalia and now, Nico.

Nico's POV:

I sighed as I picked up Hades. This is annoying. I thought. Hazel linked arms with me and Frank and pulled us out.

"Come on!" Piper said, dragging Jason and Leo out. Annabeth dragged Percy and Thalia out. Percy was holding Poseidon, Thalia was holding Zeus' hand and holding Hera up. Leo was dragging Hephaestus, who was playing around with a scrap of metal, along. Annabeth was holding Athena, while Piper was looking at her cabin. I was making Persephone walk, while carrying Hades. It's hard to like someone who turns you into a dandelion.

"Nico, you should carry Persephone. Hades doesn't seem to like being carried by you." Percy said. That was an understatement.

Hades was squirming so much and kept glaring at me. I'm telling you, it seems like he was giving a mild glare, but it was still scary. "Fine!" I said, putting Hades down and reached out for Persephone. "It's just hard to like someone who turns you into a dandelion, you know?" I told Percy, sarcastically.

Hazel giggled and picked Persephone up. "I think she's cute." She said. Persephone smiled at her, while Hades grabbed her hand, glaring at me, as if; how dare you pick me up!' Apparently that was what he was thinking.

"Why di' yo' 'ick 'e u'?" Hades asked me. {Translation: Why did you pick me up?}

"No reason." I sighed. Looks like I made enemies with dad, even when he's a baby. "Don't we have to get some money?"

"I have it." Piper said, holding a few drachmas and three hundred dollars.

"Let's go!" Annabeth said, running towards the camp van, where Argos was waiting.

"We need to go to a mall" Piper sighed.

Argos nodded, smiling at the baby gods. I guess news travels fast in Camp. Hades sat next to Persephone. Surprise, surprise! Who was sitting next to Hazel. Beside Hazel, Frank looked uncomfortable. In front of us, Percy sat beside Poseidon, who sat beside Athena, who was beside Annabeth. Piper sat in the row before them, next to Hera, Zeus and Jason. Thalia sat in the passenger seat. I squished in beside Hades. Leo and Hephaestus sat in front of Jason.

"Hmph." Hades frowned, turning around.

I sighed, I think I should apologize before I become his nemesis. "Listen, I'm sorry for attacking you. Now can you forgive me?" As you probably noticed, I'm not good at talking about my emotions.

Aparently, that was good enough for Hades, because he smiled. "What do you think the mortals will think? 9 teenagers with 7 babies?" I mused.

"We can just tell them that we're babysitting." Annabeth said. "If they ask, that is." She added at Percy's look.

The two of them didn't like to argue after Tartarus. I guess that was part of the traumatic experience.

"Oh look! We arrived!" Hazel said, smiling.

The fourteen of us thanked Argos, who parked and waited for us, and entered the mall, holding hands with the babies. Not much people paid attention to us. I guess we looked like their siblings, seeing that Hades and I looked alike, Jason and Zeus, Poseidon and Percy and Athena and Annabeth. Hera and Persephone probably just looked like their friends. Oh right, Hephaestus and Leo too.

"We can drop them off here!" Percy said, pointing at a babysitting place.

"Sure." The rest of us agreed, going inside. There, we saw Travis and Connor dropping Hermes off.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, instantly suspicious.

"Shopping," The taller one, Travis started.

"Of course." Connor finished.

The two of them sauntered out of there. I stared after them, making a mental note to look after Hades. I didn't want him to end up dressed as a dandelion.

"Done!" Percy came back out, relieved.

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"Still cooing over the babies." Percy said.

At that moment, everyone else came out. "Let's go!" Leo said.

Walking around, I picked out some black shirts for my dad, along with dark blue jeans and pants. I also got some pajamas and shoes, boxers, etc.

"That'll look nice on Hades." Hazel said, looking at the clothes I took, coming over holding a lavender dress and green chiton, along with a white top and black jeans, bunny pajamas and slippers, along with shoes, socks and panties. "I got stuff for Persephone." She said, picking up a headband and scrunchie.

"Let's go." I said. The two of us walked over to the counter and waited to pay for our stuff. "The line is so long!" I complained. When we finally payed for our stuff, meeting us with the others, who were sitting at an ice cream booth.

"Finally." Percy said, taking spoonfuls of ice cream. "What took you so long?"

"A really long line." I said. "Thanks." I added, as Percy passed me a chocolate sundae topped with a cherry.

"Why don't we go pick them up now? Piper said, holding a small shopping bag.

"Sure." Annabeth agreed.

Heading over to the area, I found that Hades had hidden himself. "Not again!" I groaned. This time, after two minutes of searching, I walked over to the front desk. "Have you seen my... brother?" I asked, saying the first thing that came to my mind. Right. My brother that's over six thousand years old and is actually my father. I thought. "He had black hair and eyes, like me. And really pale skin."

"Yes, he's right there." The man at the desk said, pointing over to the book corner, where Hades was reading.

I walked over and picked him up. "What are you reading?" I asked.

"'Othin'" Was his reply. I looked at the cover of the book. It said; five little monkeys. Really? I almost facepalmed, except for the fact that I was currently Hades' older brother.

"Why don't we go?" I asked him.

He just nodded. Seems like he avoids conversations a lot when he was younger, like I do. Or is it the other way around, seeing as he is way older than me? Walking toward the exit, I met up with Athena, Annabeth, Persephone and Hazel.

"What's taking them so long?" I complained, sitting on a bench beside a fountain.

"No idea." Hazel sat down beside me. Persephone started running around in circles, while Hades stretched out beside me, tired. "Dad's really tall." She muttered to us. Glancing beside me, I realized that she was right. Somehow, I hadn't noticed that Hades was about 88 centimeters.

Athena just sat beside Annabeth and played with her hair. "This is boring." "Annabeth sighed, as she pried her hair out of Athena's grip.

"We're back!" Percy and Leo announced.

Jason, Frank, Piper, an Thalia followed, shaking their heads at the two boys. Poseidon, Zeus, Hera and Hephaestus were in their arms, and asleep.

"We have to buy some more things." Piper said. "Like toys for them. We're all taking turns to buy clothes for each one."

I stood up, groaning, while Hades looked like he wanted to shadow travel away. Wait! he was starting to disappear. I grabbed him, and pulled him away from the shadows. Of course, that wouldn't help, as he can create shadows. Walking behind the others, I looked at the shops. The second we reached a toy shop, all of the gods ran off, including Hades, who jumped from my arms.

"Woah!" Percy said, as Hades ran into him. We all entered, to see which toys that they liked. Of course, It was kind of obvious who would want what. Poseidon wanted a black pegasus, obviously. Percy purchased it for him, pretending that the toy was for him, because it was for three and up. Athena wanted a rubix cube. No idea why, but Annabeth bought it. The four of them finished before us, and walked outside, while Athena had already spun one side of the rubix cube.

"What are you getting?" I asked Hazel.

"A stuffed flower, along with a three headed black puppy for Hades. What about you?" She replied.

"Stuffed flower for Persephone, mine is purple. No idea for Hades. It's weird calling him by his first name." I muttered to her.

"It'll be worse if the mortals hear you call him, a baby in their eyes, Your Majesty, Lord Hades, or dad." Hazel said. "You could get him-"

I cut her off. "I want to decide myself, not have you tell me. No offence." I said.

"It's fine. Anyways, the flower I'm getting Persephone is a soft shade of blue." Hazel said.

"That's nice." I said, looking around the room. What should I get? All of a sudden, something caught my eye. A stuffed black horse that looked like the one on his chariot. Perfect! I took it and the flower over to the counter, tugging Hades along. Hazel had already paid for her stuff. Piper was behind me in the line, holding a pink stuffed bear.

"You're getting something for Aphrodite?" I asked.

"Yes." She sighed. "I just didn't want to take her along."

"Oh." I said.

After we payed for that, I realized that Annabeth wasn't with us. "Where's Annabeth?"

"She went to buy a book for Athena." Percy said.

"Back." I jumped at Annabeth's voice. "We can head back now. It's almost 12:30."

"'ungry!" Poseidon protested.

"Yeah, I'm kind of hungry too, can we buy something at McDonalds?" Percy said.

"When are you not hungry?" I teased him.

"Truer words have never been spoken." Thalia said seriously patting my shoulder.

We kept a straight face for five seconds before laughing. "Gods. You're annoying." Percy grumbled.

"Love you too, cousin." Thalia said.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Fine, we can go there, but only if you behave."

"Yes sir! I mean Ma'am!" Percy said, saluting her.

Me, Thalia, Leo and Jason copied him. Annabeth rolled her eyes again, and smiled, heading towards McDonalds, which was right beside the shop. The five of us marched after her, earning some weird glances. Once we got there, we ordered 11 fish burgers, one hamburger and one wrap along with 13 smoothies. The gods would share the burgers and smoothies by two's. Us demigods got the whole one. Percy would eat the extra, half-burger.

"Your order will be ready in a while." The guy told Frank, seeing that he was the only non-dyslexic demigods here.

"Thank you." Frank said.

The rest of us sat down, waiting. Athena had finished spinning all six sides and was now reading, 'Charlotte's Web'. It was kind of awkward, watching a baby read a book that I couldn't with my dyslexia.

"Your order is ready!" A girl said, smiling at us. She handed us 11 fish burgers, one hamburger and wrap and 13 smoothies.

We thanked her, and started walking to the camp car. When we entered it, we split the food and sat in the same spot we did earlier. The gods dug into their food, and finished in little time. Percy finished in less than a minute. The rest of us ate slowly, to set a better example for the gods.

Author's Not(ic)e;

I'm going to work on my other stories for a while, so there aren't going to be as fast updates on this story, unless I'm struck with genius. Right now, I have to write out my ideas for this story, as I have tons. When they start to slow down, I'll be working on my other stories. By the way, my new story in a series, Amber Korey and the godlings: The stolen diadem, is going to be mostly OCs.
