A/N: Oh my god, why am I writing this chapter? I should be doing my homework! Procrastination won, though.
Percy won the poll for today. He and Jason were neck-in-neck, but the last review won, so, tada! baby!Percy.
Shoutout to the story "The Nanny and the Butler" by Sliverloc303. It's amazing! Go check it out
Jason's POV
A huge shriek filled the ship early in the morning. I easily identified the source of the shriek
"Piper," I said and stumbled out of bed. I ran towards her room and began knocking on her door.
"Piper, are you alright?" I asked
"J-Jason" she said through the door, "Was I a baby yesterday?"
"Yes. Why? is something wrong?" I asked
"N-Nothing. Was Leo naked when he woke up into a teenager yesterday?" she asked
"Uh...yes..." Blood rushed to my face as completely inappropriate images of Piper involuntarily flashed into my mind.
Hey, you can't blame me. I'm a boy, and I have a beautiful girlfriend. I dare you boys.
"Oh, good" she sighed, "I'll be out in a few minutes. I need a moment to think" she said.
"Okay" I replied.
"At least we know Piper's okay" Annabeth said behind me. I jumped in surprise.
"Holy Jupiter, Annabeth" I said.
Annabeth managed a smirk, "Percy's still asleep, and I think Leo's cooking. You might want to head to the Mess Hall if you want to have something to eat."
Frank's POV
"What happened while I was...out?" Piper asked, swallowing a piece of pie.
"Uh, the usual" Leo answered, "You crying. Us crying. Coach Hedge watching karate videos. Frank became your pet. Annabeth was your nanny"
Piper gave Leo a half-hearted glare.
"Is Percy still asleep?" Hazel asked
"You better check on him" Jason said to Annabeth.
Annabeth stood up and walked outside, heading to the bedrooms.
Silence flowed through the room, except for the chewing. Suddenly, Annabeth ran in the room and pointed at Me, Jason and Leo
"Three of you, Percy's room, NOW" she said.
The three of us immediately stood up and went to Percy's room. It was open already, but we slowly slipped in.
"Percy?" Leo asked
A giggle replied.
"Holy Hephaestus..." Leo muttered as we stared at a baby Percy
Baby Percy began chewing on his blankets, getting drool on it.
Jason picks up a pile of clothes on Percy's nightstand. It was a right fit for baby Percy.
"Dear Argo II crew" Jason read from a note on top of the clothes, "I felt bad of letting little Leo walk around in his diapers, so I decided to bring you all baby clothes whenever Hebe uses her powers on one of you. Leo, I am so sorry. See you soon - Love, Aphrodite. P.S. Don't let Zeus know about this. He'll suspend me from watching Hephaestus TV if he'll find out."
"Thank you, Aphrodite, Venus, whatever you are now" I said.
Jason's POV
It took us 20 minutes JUST to make baby Percy put on his clothes. Every time I managed to get his arm through the sleeve, he'll pull it out afterwards.
"Okay, you are done and clothed" I said and carried him to the Mess Hall
"Look who's a baby" Frank said. The girls' attention shifted from their food, to me, then to baby Percy.
"He's so adorable" Hazel squealed as she took him from my arms. "Hey there, Perce" she smiled. Piper stood up and smiled at Percy at well, "You are so tiny" Piper commented, "I feel so tall, now"
Baby Percy, being the ladies man he is, smiled at them and gave them the most adorable baby smile. The girls cooed at him.
"What is it with girls and babies?" Leo asked me
"No idea. I guess they are going to enjoy it's innocence and ignorance while it lasted" Frank commented.
Annabeth stood up and took baby Percy from Hazel arms. Baby Percy stopped laughing and stared at Annabeth with his huge green eyes. He began laughing and reached for Annabeth face. Annabeth adjusted him and he began pinching Annabeth's cheeks. He laughed every time Annabeth tries to pull her cheek from his toddler hands.
"So, what are the shifts for today?" Piper asked.
Annabeth handed the baby to her, "First shift, you" Annabeth said. Baby Percy clutched at Annabeth's shoulders, refusing to let go. Annabeth had to remove Percy's hands one by one. Piper had to hold Percy tightly because he continued struggling.
"Next Frank" Annabeth said, "Hazel, afterwards, then Leo, then me, and lastly, Jason"
Percy's little stomach rumbled. He stopped struggling and began patting his stomach, laughing.
"Breakfast time" Piper said. Baby Percy perked up at the notice. Annabeth got the bottle of baby formula from the refrigerator and gave it to Piper.
Piper's shift (3rd person)
"Percy, where are you?" she said as she looked under the chairs. Suddenly, a loud laugh of a baby echoed from the engine room.
"Piper!" Leo shouted, "It's not my shift yet! Get Percy out from the engine room!"
Piper ran and bumped into Leo, who was carrying a literally smoking Percy.
"I am seriously going to put a little gate in the engine room so little babies don't crawl in there" Leo said and gave baby Percy to Piper.
"What did you do?" Piper asked Percy. It must've came out harsh because Percy's eyes became huge, imitating a baby seal
"Are you, doing the puppy eyes?" Piper said. She smacked her forehead with her free hand, "Unbelievable"
Frank's shift
Baby Percy kept on pointing at the waters below.
"No, Perce. Dangerous waters, no swimming" Frank said.
Baby Percy started crying. And no, Frank didn't mean the sniff-and-tear kind of crying, but the full blown shouting-crying.
"No, no. Don't cry, Percy. See, look, I'm a penguin." Frank said and morphed into a baby penguin.
Baby Percy stopped crying and pushed the penguin into the water.
Mid-fall, Frank morphed into a bird and landed on the deck. Baby Percy was staring at him as the morphed back. Frank gave Percy a glare, but Percy gave him a stronger glare, even for a baby.
Let's say Frank spent his whole shift as numerous underwater creatures as they swam near the Argo II
Hazel's shift
"I wonder why I always get the shift during lunch" Hazel said as a dripping Frank handed to her a laughing Percy. Jason, Piper, Leo and Annabeth stared at Frank., who was making a small puddle at where he stood.
"Because you are capable of feeding a baby" Frank said and walked towards his room.
Baby Percy began chewing on Hazel's curly hair.
"No, Percy. Don't eat the hair" Hazel said as she pulled her hair out from Percy's mouth. She went to the fridge and got some of those things baby eat, even if the teeth haven't grew yet.
"Say, ah" she said. Percy kept his mouth closed, staring at the spoon. She kept on trying to put the food in Percy's mouth, but it never opened.
An idea popped into Hazel's mind and took some blue food coloring from the drawers. She dropped some in the baby food and mixed it, making it a cool shade of cerulean.
"Ahh" Hazel said. BabyPercy finally opened his mouth.
Leo's shift
"I wonder..." Leo thought as he watched Percy playing with the brand new Lego blocks he made.
Leo began working on something, using spare metal scraps
"Valdez, what is going on in there?" Coach Hedge shouted, "I can't hear a thing from my TV show"
"Sorry, Coach" Leo replied.
Baby Percy stared at Leo as he worked, drool dripping on the side of his mouth.
"Tada!" Leo said as he finished his new project. He made Percy a little sword.
Baby Percy took the sword, stared at it, then began hitting Leo's foot with it.
"Ow! Hey!" Leo said and ran.
Leo hid behind the wheel, "He'll never find me here" he muttered
Suddenly, a baby's giggle was heard behind him.
"Ehem", a voice above him said. He looked up to see Annabeth glaring down at him, carrying Percy, who lost his sword.
"Uh..." Leo thought of something smart to say, "It's your shift now?" he said
Annabeth looked at her watch, "Hm...I guess it is" she said.
Annabeth's shift
As baby Percy was sitting on her lap, Annabeth was holding a book in front of him with pictures of marine animals.
"Where is the dolphin?" Annabeth said. Baby Percy touched the picture of the dolphin
"That's correct, Percy" Annabeth said and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Baby Percy laughed.
"Octopus" she said. Baby Percy clapped and touched the picture. She kissed him again
"Shark" she said. Baby Percy touched a picture of a seal.
"No, this is a shark" Annabeth said, pointing at a picture of the shark, "but good try, though"
This went on for a few more minutes. "Do you want to go to the deck, Perce?" she asked.
"Percy" she said. Said baby turned to her, his eyes wide open.
"Were you even listening to me?" she asked. Baby Percy smiled in response, giggling.
Annabeth stood up, carrying Percy with her. Baby Percy played with Annabeth's curls. Few minutes later. Percy's eyes began drooping, and he leaned onto Annabeth.
Jason went up to the deck, "Annabeth. It's my shift now" he said.
"Oh," Annabeth said as she looked at her watch. She gave Jason the baby, but baby Percy didn't want to move. He struggled whenever Jason's hand went near him. He reached for Annabeth.
"No, Seaweed Brain. It's Jason's time to take care of you" Annabeth said. Percy gave her the huge puppy eyes and a matching pout, but he reached for Jason.
"Good boy" Annabeth said, and gave baby Percy a kiss on the cheek. Percy's face went red and he laughed.
"Now, you be good to Jason" she said, and walked away.
Jason knew that Percy's green eyes followed Annabeth until she was out of sight. He turned to the baby, "You little Casanova" he laughed at baby Percy, "You pretty much captured every heart of the girls at camp, yet you are so leashed to Annabeth's lips"
Percy pouted at Jason, glaring at him.
Jason's shift
"Percy, where are you" Jason said, "Come on, man. Annabeth's gonna kill me" he said
Speak of the devil, Annabeth walked in the stables, finding Jason crouching on the ground
"What...are you doing?" she asked
"Percy" Jason simply answered.
Annabeth huffed, "Percy, come out, wherever you are" she said. Suddenly, the water seeped out from the boys' bath.
Leo walked in the stable, "It's going to flood! Everybody get a bucket!" he said.
Annabeth and Jason gave each other equal wide eyes as they ran towards the boys' bath, trying not to slide on the water.
Jason opened the door, and more water flowed out to the hallway.
"Percy!" Jason said, trudging through the water.
Percy was sitting on the bathtub, completely dry. He was splashing around the water, the faucet running.
Annabeth walked towards the tub and turned off the faucet. Jason carried Percy and they walked out the bathroom.
"We almost sank because neither of you gave him a bath during one of your shifts?" Hazel said at the 3 boys.
They were all dripping wet, because Percy had also activated the sprinklers Leo installed in case he had a sudden combustion. Piper was feeding baby Percy a bottle of baby formula.
"Is swimming around the Argo considered a bath?" Frank said.
"I don't know how to take care of a kid, okay! It's new to me" Leo said
"I was planning to give him one!" Jason said, "but he disappeared!"
"Man" Annabeth said, as she tucked Percy in, "If taking care of Percy was hard, I wonder how hard it'll be for Jason and Hazel"
"Big 3 babies" Piper said, "It'll be harder than taking care of the whole Hermes cabin", and closed the room.
"Let us all praise Sally for even surviving" Annabeth laughed.
Meanwhile...
"Percy's so adorable!" Aphrodite squealed as she watched the new show on the Hephaestus TV: The Argo II sitters.
"Hey! I am offended" Hermes said, "My children aren't that troublesome...right?"
"Yes, let us all praise Sally Jackson for even surviving" Artemis said.
"Look, Owl Head, your daughter can handle my son" Poseidon boasted
"Let's wait until your son gets to take care of my daughter" Athena retorted.
"How about we'll wait for the next episode tomorrow" Hestia said, "Hebe's idea of entertainment during the shutdown is quite brilliant, but isn't it a bit troublesome for the demigods?"
"It's preparing them for adulthood, Auntie" Apollo said, "If they survive until adulthood"
