Chapter 8

They had finally arrived at their destination, the Olympian beach house. It was around lunch time. The home was this mansion on the beach with a volleyball court and surfing. The first time Percy came here, he was astonished. It was breathtaking. They all get out of the limo and begin to walk towards the front door. Percy was carrying Olivia in her blue carrier. The door opened to reveal Percy's stuck-up brother, Triton, in nothing but Hawaiian-print swimming trunks. And he had abs. Triton was basically an older Percy who was a younger Poseidon. Black hair, green eyes, sun-kissed skin.

"Damn," he heard someone whisper.

"Oh, father told me to be expecting you," Triton said drably as the limo driver passed them with some luggage.

"Yeah?" Thalia said. "So let us in."

Triton's eyes fell on Olivia. "What is that?"

Percy raised an eyebrow, "Pardon me?"

Triton rolled his eyes but explained himself anyways, "You brought…a baby?"

"Was I supposed to leave her at home?"

Triton shrugged, "No, I suppose not. But I'm asking whose baby is that?"

"She's my daughter."

"You have a daughter?"

Percy nodded slowly.

"Sure you do."

Percy rolled his eyes, "Will you let us in now?"

Triton stepped aside and let them through. The house was beautiful. Once you step in you can see a large kitchen with an island and some bar stools. Around the kitchen was tons of kitchen cutlery. Past that through an arch and a couple of steps down was the very large living room. To the left was the very big dining room. Upstairs there were dozens of bedrooms. But Percy had been here enough times to explore all the offices, bedrooms, bathrooms—everything. "Do you need to be shown your rooms?"

"Unless it's changed from last year, no," Nico grumbled.

"Probably not," Triton agreed.

That's when a blonde with blue eyes came down the stairs. "Oh," he stopped. "We have company." He forced a smile, "Hello brother, sister, friends and cousins." This was Thalia and Jason's older brother, Hercules. A narcissistic know-it-all. At least he was wearing a shirt with his shorts. Hercules was 27 and Triton was 28.

Everyone greeted him back as he grabbed a banana from the basket on the kitchen island. He sat down on the bar stool and slowly began to peel his banana upside down.

"Um," Leo paused, "What're you doing?"

Hercules stopped, "What does it look like? I'm peeling my banana."

"Upside down?" Jason clarified.

Hercules nodded slowly. "You guys are weird."

Leo scoffed, "Okay, we're the weird ones."

"So," Hazel interrupted. "Is it just you two here right now?"

Triton nodded, "Father is at work as are our uncles. Hera has gone out and mother went with her. Oh, and so did Persephone. Apollo and Artemis should be arriving shortly. And Dionysus went out. I'm not aware of anyone else joining us." Triton scanned them. "Someone's missing. A boy named Frank was it?"

Hazel bitterly looked away, "He won't be joining us this year."

Triton nodded suspiciously, "But we are missing someone else, aren't we?"

Hercules swallowed his banana and pointed at Percy, "Didn't you have a girlfriend?"

Percy looked at his cousins before looking back at Hercules, "I-I don't know."

"You don't know?"

"I mean, she died," Percy said. He lifted up Olivia slightly, "During childbirth."

"Oh." Both Hercules and Triton's faces fell.

"Sorry," Triton cleared his throat as Hercules nodded.

"Well," Piper said slowly, "I think all of our luggage has been moved, we should go check out our rooms."

The nine guests headed upstairs towards their bedrooms. Percy had a permanent room here—so did Hazel, Thalia, Jason, Nico and Bianca. Percy chose the colour of his room when he was 12. Of course, he chose blue. And that's how it would stay. His bed was pushed up into the right corner and past that led to his bathroom. On the other wall was a large window with a window seat. Beside that was the door and on the last wall was the closet. There was also a large television with a stack of video games and movies. Then there was the white leather couch. Subtle decorations like a clock was hung up on the wall. His whole room was blue and white. Percy sighed and turned to Olivia, "Now where are you going to sleep, 'Liv?"

Olivia looked up at him curiously. Olivia had chubby cheeks with tints of pink. She had the tiniest bits of black hair and big grey eyes with swirls of green.

"I should've brought a crib or something, huh?"

Olivia yawned.

Percy nodded in agreement, "Yup, me too baby girl. I need a nap."

Percy turned to his suitcase and quickly changed into shorts and a blue t shirt. He then slowly took Olivia out if her carrier and changed her into a pair of shorts and a t shirt. It was pretty warm in the room. He then took her towards the king sized bed and laid in the bed. He pulled the blanket over them and held Olivia on his chest as he laid on his back.

"You fall asleep and I'll just lay here, okay?"

Percy waited until Olivia's breathing steadied. Olivia was drooling on his chest. Percy smiled and kissed her forehead. But soon, without realizing it, Percy fell asleep too.

A few minutes later Nico walked into the room. He had also changed. "Hey, Percy, Bianca wants to—"

He cut himself off when he saw the scene before him. He covered his mouth to keep from laughing too loud. He left and returned with Bianca. Bianca grinned, "This is…adorable. Where's my camera?" She ran off.

"Hey, what's going on?" Piper stopped in front of Percy's room. "I just saw Bianca running towards her room with the biggest grin on her face." She walked towards the bed and saw Percy and Olivia. "Aw, that's cute."

"What's cute?" Jason peeked his head in and Hazel walked in right behind him. Jason was wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt while Hazel wore short white shorts and a purple t-shirt. Thalia walked in a second later wearing shorts and a tank top. She snorted at the sight before her. Leo came in last.

"Percy fell asleep. Typical."

Bianca walked back in with a camera around her neck. She began to snap a few pictures.

"We should send these to Sally," Hazel laughed.

"She'll love them," Piper replied.

Leo laughed, "Is Percy drooling?" A steady line of liquid was falling from Percy's mouth.

"What if he rolls over and crushes Olivia?" Jason asked.

"I don't think so, Jason," Piper said. "He's like, hugging her."

Bianca got in close and took another picture. "Oops," she said as Olivia's eyes opened. She pouted. "No, don't cry," Bianca bit her lip. But then Olivia started to cry. "Crap nuggets." Bianca picked her up and brought her away as not to wake Percy.

Hazel grabbed the baby bag and followed her sister out.

Thalia sighed, "Now what?" She glanced at her watch, "It's 12:47."

"Barbeque?" Jason suggested.

Leo's mouth began to water, "Barbeque," he agreed and they went off towards the stairs. Nico followed them.

Piper sighed, "I'm going to go see what Hazel and Bianca are doing."

Thalia was left standing in the middle of Percy's room. She was about to turn to leave when she spotted the TV. She grinned and plopped down onto the couch. She chose a game, put it in the Xbox and grabbed the remote control. She began to play by herself occasionally switching from Xbox to Wii to PlayStation. She also had gotten up to get a soda and Percy had slept through the whole thing. Around 1:45, Thalia started to get bored. That was when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and lift her up. She screamed and pounded on the person's back until she realized who it was.

"Percy, put me down," Thalia ordered.

Percy obliged and dropped her on the couch. Thalia glared up at his smiling face. "Can you move over?" Percy asked.

"No."

"Fine." Percy walked towards the closet, grabbed two large bean bag chairs that were also blue and sat on both of them. "So, where is everybody?"

"Well, Jason, Nico and Leo are barbequing, I'm here and Bianca, Hazel, Piper and Olivia are probably doing some baby thing."

Percy nodded. Two seconds later the four girls walked in. "Good, he's awake," Hazel said. She passed Olivia to Percy. "You're welcome."

"Thank you?" Percy said unsurely.

"We fed her," Bianca said.

"And changed her," Piper added.

"And entertained her," Hazel finished.

"Did she sleep?" Percy asked.

The girls shook their heads. Percy nodded and placed her in her carrier to nap. "This is her temporary crib," Percy explained. Once Olivia fell asleep they all exited the room and went into the dining room to find Jason, Leo and Nico plating piles of hamburgers and hot dogs. They gad also grilled some corn and potatoes.

"Smells good," Percy complimented. Thalia went into the kitchen and returned with two bowls. One was a salad and the other was full of Lays chips. "I found this salad in the fridge."

They then added buns, ketchup, mustard, mayo and drinks and sat down around the table. Triton and Hercules walked in just as everyone began to pile food onto their plates. Without waiting for an invitation they both sat down and grabbed plates. Apollo and Artemis both showed up about ten minutes later and also joined in having lunch.

After a few minutes of forks and knives scratching on plates Apollo finally said something. "So, Thalia, what are you majoring in?"

Jason burst out laughing. Thalia glared at him but then turned to her 24 year old brother. "Undecided."

"Oh, and you Jason?"

"I'm training to be a pilot."

Apollo nodded.

Hercules picked up a hot dog. "Oh, and I suppose you'll eat that backwards too?" Leo commented.

Hercules rolled his eyes.

"Wait, how do you eat a hot dog backwards?" Piper asked as she took a bite of her own hot dog.

Leo shrugged, "I'm sure he'll find a way."

They then heard the front door open and close. Three women appeared at the entrance pf the dining room. They all held shopping bags. One of them frowned, "Oh, it's you."

Thalia grinned, "Miss us?"
