Hazel arrived at the Jackson-Blofis apartment slightly nervous. What if Sally didn't help her? She didn't know Paul and according to Percy, he was still sort of freaked out when something really weird happened. What if he answered the door?

She knocked on the door twice and Leo smiled up at her, seeming to sense her anxiety. She smiled nervously back at him and looked back at the door. It swung open to reveal a smiling Mrs. Sally Jackson.

"Hello Hazel!" Sally knew who she was- as after the Giant War, Percy took the rest of the seven, along with Nico and Thalia, over there for a get-away- but Sally didn't know that Hazel had died in the 1940s. "Are you here to see Percy and Annabeth?"

Hazel had forgotten they had decided to go back home to be more alone. That made her instantly feel bad. Annabeth was like part of their family and she felt like she was ruining their time together.

"Um, no…it's just that…something happened and I didn't know what to do-" Hazel struggled for a way to put it.

"It's fine sweetie. Come on in," Sally stepped to the side and allowed Hazel in.

She walked in and felt the wonders of air conditioning after being out in the heat.

"Thank you Mrs. Jackson."

"Please, dear, I've told you before. Just call me Sally," she smiled at Hazel, making her jealous of how Percy had such a nice mom and Hazel's thought, and her exact words were that she was 'a poisoned child.'

"Oh, um, sorry, of course. It's just that, I'm not used to it. I was raised to used respect towards adults, including calling them-"

"It's fine. I get it. Now who's the cute child? I assume that's your problem," Leave it to Sally to be smart and insightful.

"Yes. This is Leo. Aphrodite..um, interfered in our relationship…" Hazel blushed as Leo perked up at the 'cute', then pouted because he wanted to be 'hot'.

"Well. That's different," Sally stated, "I'd be glad to help you out. It's nice to have children to take care of. Since Leo was so hyper normally, he'll be a handful, I bet."

Hazel smiled gratefully, "Thank you so much Sally."

"No problem, sweetie. Would you like to see the others? They're in Percy's room. Second door on the right. You can use the room across the hall from his," she pointed down a hallway.

"Thank you," Hazel said as she walked towards the door.

She saw Leo roll his eyes and knew what he would say, 'Geez Haze, there's a fine line between being respectful and going overboard. You should just do what I do and say 'Thanks!' and skip away!'

She laughed and knocked on Percy's door. She heard rustling around and Percy said, "Come in!"

Hazel opened the door and saw them sitting on his bed, smoothing their hair down. Annabeth ran over to Hazel when she saw her and hugged her. Percy stood up and gave her a one-armed hug.

"Hey Hazel. What are you doing here?" Percy asked.

"And why do you have a baby that looks like Leo?" Annabeth asked, eyebrows raised.

Hazel blushed a deep red at their looks, "It's not what you think! This is Leo! Aphrodite-"

"Say no more. We understand perfectly from there," Annabeth smiled.

"Sorry if I interrupted anything," Hazel apologized.

"No big deal," Annabeth shrugged.

"Really?" Percy asked her with puppy dog eyes.

Annabeth laughed and shoved his shoulder, "Really. We like to hang out with our friends, right Percy?" She shot him a look.

"I do! You didn't have to shove me!" Percy exclaimed.

"I know," Annabeth laughed and Hazel chuckled, "I just wanted to."

Percy pouted, "You're mean."

"That's why you love me."

"True."

"So how long are you staying here?" Annabeth asked Hazel.

"I don't know. Aphrodite said she wouldn't tell when she'd change him back."

"Well, I don't mind you staying here, mom never does, and Annabeth…I don't understand half of what she thinks unless it's battle strategy mostly," Percy said.

"We're best friends, Percy. I like being with her," Annabeth slapped his arm.

"Well I'm hungry. I'm going to see if mom's cooking lunch," Percy announced.

The three went to the kitchen to see Sally starting to cook and Percy and Annabeth went to watch TV after Hazel handed Leo to Annabeth.

"Would you like to me to help?" Hazel offered.

Sally smiled warmly at her, "If you want to." Hazel nodded. "Just fill that pot right there with water and set it on the stove please."

Hazel did just that and they started cooking.

Okay. So I know that was a weird spot to end it, but I needed something! BTW, I love reviews. They inspire me. Also, sorry if anyone's OOC. Read, Review, and Rate!
