A to Z with the di Angelos
Parental Life of Heroes
24. P is for Pets [June 2031]
Jack di Angelo was pouting. He was only four years old, which meant he was still too young for summer camp, which meant while all his big siblings got to see the half-horse-man and train with him, Jackie had to stay at home. Okay, maybe he didn't mind as much, because summer meant he had mommy and daddy all to himself. No big siblings to steal his mommy and daddy away.
"Jackie? Are you still pouting?"
Jack didn't want to answer, because he was not pouting. But it was his Donny – his favorite big brother. Not that he loved Jimmy and Thess any less though. But Donny was the oldest. So the biggest brother, which meant he was best at being a big brother, which made him the best big brother, right? Before he could get a headache from thinking, his beloved Donny came in, smiling at him. Jack's face brightened as he saw the little blonde with Donny.
"Mattie!", yelped Jack and rushed over to hug his best friend tightly. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, mamma said you were pouting because all of us will leave for Camp Half-Blood on Monday, so I thought I'd invite your best friend for a sleepover", replied Donny with a fond smile.
"Thank you, Donny!", exclaimed Jack and kissed his big brother's cheek. "Now go!"
Donny chuckled as he left the little boys on their own. Mattie Chase was already five years old, which meant he was already allowed to go to camp this year. Both were pouting that they couldn't go together, but the di Angelos thought that Jackie was still too young. Matt grinned at his best friend and climbed onto his bed, trying to squeeze in between the giant hellhound and the skeleton kitten who both laid curled together on Jack's bed. Since Jack won't have his big siblings for the summer, he had decided that Small Bob and Mrs. O'Leary would spend the summer with him.
"I wanna have my own pet", declared Jack as he snuggled in between Mrs. O'Leary's paws.
"But... there's two creepy and large pets in your bed", pointed Matt out. "No offense."
The hellhound huffed and turned away from Matt, instead rather licking Jack's cheek, making the boy laugh loudly. "Nu-uh. They're mommy's pets. He got them from friends who thought mommy could take good care of them. You're my friend. Can't you give me a pet too?"
"That's not how things work", frowned the blonde boy, tilting his heads. "I think."
"But I'll be lonely when my siblings and you are gone for the summer", pointed Jack out.
His lower lip quivered as he stared at Matt with large, sea-green eyes. "I can't give you a pet, Jack! Maybe your mommy will, if you're good this summer? Oh, I know! You could do much with those two and prove to your mommy that you're responsible. Like, go and take Mrs. O'Leary out on walks and clean the cat litter after Small Bob, or something like that?"
Small Bob meowed in agreement and pushed his head against Jack's. Jack grinned broadly and determined. Matt was clever. Matt was right. He would prove to his mommy that he was responsible and then he would get his own pet, something to cuddle that was his and his alone.
"Thank you, Mattie", grinned Jack broadly, looking up at his friend.
"What pet do you want?", asked Matt curiously, getting comfortable on Mrs. O'Leary.
"Uhm...", hummed Jack thoughtful, frowning. "Huh. I dunno. Maybe a dragon?"
"Dragons are no pets!", yelped Matt and shook his head. "Kittens and puppies are pets and your family has weird pets anyway, but dragons are too weird! Something else, please."
"So I won't get a phoenix too?", huffed Jack, frowning even deeper.
"Urgh. You're horrible, Jack!", huffed Matt and rolled his eyes.
Jack just grinned broadly at his best friend. He knew he was horrible. Papà always said that too and then he would kiss Jack's forehead and ruffle his hair. And auntie Clarisse always said that horrible was a family-trade of the Jacksons, so that meant he had it from his mommy and that was good.
"Maybe a dinosaur then?", suggested Jack, tilting his head. "With a lo—ong neck!"
Author's note: Next chapter, Jimmy's gonna get injured and Nico has to deal with it while Percy is visiting his parents in New York. Will he be able to handle it, or will he panic...?
