For all those questions I'm getting, yes I do plan to do a Father Percy, and Father Nico, or whatever the title will be. I will first focus on getting Mother Thalia done first, however, so I do not have a mob at my front door. LOL! Enjoy! Read! And, of course, REVIEW!

Thalia couldn't help but feel very sorry for the waitress who greeted them. She took one look at the two kids Thalia was tugging along and looked like she wanted to quit her job right there and then. Instead, she took a deep breath and gave Sally a warm smile.

"Welcome to Applebee's. How many are in your party?"

"Four, but my husband may join us later. Go ahead and seat us at a table of five, if you could." Sally flashed a smile.

"Absolutely!" The waitress beamed, glancing nervously at the two kids.

"How old are you?" She leaned down, asking Percy.

Immediately, four fingers went up, as Percy backed away looking solemn.

"Can't you talk?" The waitress asked sweetly.

"Why, can't you count?" Percy countered innocently.

Thalia gasped.

"Percy!" She snapped. "That's very rude. Apologize right now!"

"No, it's alright." The waitress moved away, leading them to an empty table. Her expression looked like she was going to quit the minute she could get away from them.

"No, he needs to learn." Thalia persisted.

Percy looked up pleasantly. "I'm sorry I was being shtupid. I promise I won't be wude again."

Thalia was about to admonish him for using the word "shtupid" uh, "stupid," but she noticed that the waitress had an "aww, he's so cute" look on her face

"It's okay. Would you like a high chair for the little one?" The waitress turned back to Sally.

"Well, Nico, would you like a high chair?" Sally asked the little boy.

"Evangeline?" Nico asked dreamily.

The waitress looked startled. "Can he read?"

"No." Thalia answered automatically.

"Then how did he know my name?"

Thalia looked, shocked, at the nametag on Evangeline's uniform. Being dyslexic, it had taken her several moments to even realize that there was a nametag, much less realize it was the name of Nico's one true love!
"Evangeline is the name of one of his, um, friends." Thalia explained. "He likes her a lot, and wow, this is quite the coincidence."

Evangeline nodded, still looking a little ruffled.

"A high chair will be just fine." Thalia quickly cut in, changing the topic.

"Okay." Evangeline looked relieved to get back to doing something she was comfortable with.

She got the high chair quickly, and once Nico was situated, the Percy, Sally, and Thalia all collapsed into their individual chairs.

"What do you want to eat for dinner?" Sally asked kindly.

"PBI!" Nico shouted.

Thalia shushed him. "What's a PBI?"

"Sandwich with pebut booter and Jackie!" Nico explained carefully.

"You mean PB and J, Nico. Peanut butter and jelly. Does Applebee's serve peanut butter and jelly?" Thalia looked up at Sally who wrinkled her nose in thought.

"You know, I don't know. I guess we'll ask and see." Sally decided.

"And what do you want?" Thalia turned to Percy, who was lying sleepily on the edge of his seat.

"Apple juice." Percy answered quickly.

"Okay, sure." Thalia quickly checked to make sure that apple juice was on the menu. Thank the gods, it was.

"What do you want to eat for dinner?" Thalia asked.

"Pizza." Percy answered. "I think that pizza is the greatest food on the planet. Don't you, Mama?"

"Not the "mama" stuff again. I thought we were over that!" Thalia squirmed under Sally's questioning gaze.

"I'll tell you after they go to sleep." She mouthed.

Sally nodded.

As Percy warmed up and began his usual nonsense chatter, Thalia quickly looked over the menu to see what she would want for her own dinner.

Evangeline returned hurriedly to take their order.

"Do you serve peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" Sally asked quickly.

"I'm sure that we can whip one up." Evangeline assured her, playing the part of a proper waitress.

Thalia quickly placed in her own order along with her two kid's orders, then leaned back to let Sally order.

Evangeline hurried away, frazzled, and Thalia turned her attention to Nico, who was eyeing the silverware hungrily.

Thalia moved it away from his reach and turned to look at Percy, who was prattling on about some dam, and some other food bar.

"It's really big. Like, this big. It's bigger then you and me." Percy told Sally, who listened as though it was the most interesting thing in the world.

Thalia sighed. Life with Percy Jackson and Nico Di Angelo was never easy to begin with, but when they were little kids? Forget it! Nothing would ever be predictable with those two!
