Ch.3- Adventures in Baby-Sitting
"Percy!" Poseidon said holding a baby girl in his arms. "Will you be a good son and watch your little sister?"
"Which one is this again?"Percy asked. He did love his younger siblings, but Poseidon brought them all over so many times….it was hard for the demigod to keep track of them all.
"Marina,"Poseidon reminded. Very fitting for a Daughter of Poseidon Percy thought as he took the baby in his arms.
"What have we here?"Luke asked. "Oh my darling Percy! I thought you love only me!"
"Not funny,"Percy said. "It's my little sister."
"Oh good,"Luke said. "I thought you and Annabeth had a thing going!"
"We did, but a perfect in every sense of the word young man came and helped me realize he was the only person for me."Percy said kissing Luke. Marina giggled.
"Hey kid,"Luke said. "I think your older brother did a pretty good job at that touching statement. He should be a poet….no an Apollo son would take him from me."
"She just likes you,"Percy said smiling.
"Just wait…."Luke said holding Percy. Marina shrieked until her older brother reluctantly left Luke's arms and rocked her to sleep.
"Hey you have that effect on everyone get used to it!"Luke said.
"Would you like to hold her?" Percy asked.
"I suppose, but don't get jealous!" Luke said joking. Luke held the baby in his arms gently.
"Oh you two are so adorable,"Percy said taking a picture with a camera.
"You mean it?"asked Luke looking at Percy with his beautiful eyes.
"Of course! Not that you don't always look cute!"Percy added. Percy watched in happiness as Luke and his baby sister played peek-a-boo, and he read her a storybook.
"See? You're doing fantastic Luke!"Percy said truly proud of his lover.
"Ok, but when Poseidon comes back Percy, you're to go back to being my baby once again. Got it?"Luke said.
"Just how I like it,"Percy said. Luke smiled down as he held his boyfriend's sister in his arms. Maybe someday they could adopt a baby of their own, but as for now he didn't feel like sharing Percy.
"Thank you boys,"Posedion said taking Marina.
"Now….what was that the promise you made?"asked Luke taking Percy's hand. "Oh….right now I remember!" He pulled the Son of Poseidon onto his lap."She's cute, but I think I prefer you. No babysitter can take you from me baby."
"I wouldn't let them,"Percy said. The two didn't say much more just snuggled since they were both quite tired after they were through babysitting.
