Lol, updating cuz why not. And i'm bored, tbh.

Chapter 10

The next day

It was morning and Percy washed up at the kitchen sink after feeding Olivia. He stood around in pajama pants and a sweatshirt. Olivia was slamming her hands on her high chair. Nico sat at the island beside Hazel. His black hair was almost as messy as Percy's. Hazel slowly lifted a spoon of cereal into her mouth. Beside Hazel was Olivia. Everyone was in pajamas. Thalia jogged down the stairs in black leggings and a huge sweater. She ruffled Olivia's hair before grabbing a banana off the counter. Olivia giggled.

"See Nico? I told you Olivia likes me more than you," Thalia commented before peeling her banana.

Nico rolled his eyes, "I'll show you that Olivia likes me more later."

Hera came down fully dressed and Amphitrite and Persephone followed closely behind.

Thalia stifled a groan. Percy wiped his hand on the dish rag.

Hazel looked up, "Hello."

Persephone smiled, "Good morning, Hazel. Good morning everyone." She turned to Olivia and cooed. "She's so cute, can I hold her?"

Percy was at a loss for words so he nodded silently. Persephone sure was being nice. Persephone lifted Olivia out of the seat. And Olivia didn't even hesitate. She started to cry.

Hera put out her arms, "Let me try." Persephone passed Olivia to Hera. If possible, Olivia cried harder. Hera gave the baby to Amphitrite. Olivia didn't stop.

"Can I try?"

Everyone's head snapped to the voice. It was Poseidon. He was dressed in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Thalia gave Percy a warning look. Percy nodded hesitantly to his father.

Amphitrite passed the screaming baby to her husband. Poseidon looked down at her. And she stopped. Olivia reached up to touch his face. Poseidon let her grab his finger. Thalia smiled and gave Percy a knowing look. Hazel was flashing Percy a thumbs up and Nico smirked. Percy looked down and shook his head but couldn't keep the smile off his face. Suddenly Olivia spit up on Poseidon's shirt.

Percy burst out laughing as Poseidon wrinkled his nose. Hazel passed him some napkins.

"So, Percy," Persephone started slowly. "The girls and I were wondering if we could take Olivia shopping."

Percy scratched the back of his neck, "I don't know…"

"How about if you come to the mall with us? But you hang out with your cousins and we'll hang out with Olivia."

Percy pressed his hands onto the island. "Why do you want to hang out with her anyways?"

"Because why not?"

Percy bit his lip, "I guess if Olivia gets used to you and won't cry then its okay."

The three woman smiled and Amphitrite wasted no time stealing Olivia from Poseidon's arms. Luckily, Olivia didn't cry. But she did spit up again—all over Amphitrite's shoes.

...

2 hours later

It was now 10 a.m. and the three woman whisked Olivia away in a stroller. Percy frowned slightly and Bianca came up behind him. Her black hair was in a fishtail braid and she wore a loose white t-shirt and dark blue shorts. Of course, she had her camera wrapped around her neck. It was a very warm day. Percy could've predicted that being in sunny California in the middle of summer. "Don't worry about it. They were once mothers of babies too."

Percy nodded solemnly. He wore a blue t shirt and white shorts. Thalia was wearing dark high wasted shorts and a black crop top. Hazel wore a pale yellow shirt and light jeans while Piper wore shorts and a sleeveless shirt. Jason wore a white sleeveless shirt and Nico wore a black t shirt. Leo wore orange. The group of eight walked through the mall stopping at random stores. At one store in particular a guy started to flirt with Bianca. Nico pulled her back so hard that she bumped into Hazel. The guy backed up quickly. Bianca rolled her eyes but she didn't mind. Nico may be her little brother but he often acted like her overprotective older brother.

...

Annabeth felt like she had nothing to do. Summer break was nothing to her. She liked breaks but she was often left with nothing to do. She groaned as she did her early morning stretches. Reyna exited the bathroom completely dressed. Her black hair was in loose waves and she wore high wasted shorts and a loose top.

"Hey Anna."

Annabeth grunted in reply.

"Why are you doing stretches?" Reyna asked as she put away her curling iron.

Annabeth went down into a forward split, "I don't want to lose my flexibility."

Reyna rolled her eyes. "Kay."

Annabeth grabbed some clothing from her dresser. "If I ever have a kid, I want him or her to win three gold medals at the Olympics."

"Don't dream too big Annabeth." She sat on the couch.

Annabeth clutched her clothing to her chest. "Gymnastics, swimming and skating."

Reyna sighed and played with the hem of her blouse.

"But, of all the things that could go wrong—"

"Annabeth," Reyna stopped her friend. "Someone once told me to stop worrying about what could go wrong and start thinking about what could go right. You'll find your Prince Charming…and maybe you'll have kids that'll win three Olympic gold medals."

"Maybe," Annabeth sighed. "I'm gonna head to the shower."

Fifteen minutes later Annabeth stepped out wearing a purple top and dark shorts.

Reyna passed her a paper plate from the cafeteria. It had three pancakes surrounded by blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Some maple syrup was drizzled on top.
Annabeth sat down beside Reyna on the couch and greedily accepted a fork.

"So, what are we doing today?" Annabeth asked as she crossed her legs.

Reyna leaned back, "Absolutely nothing."

Silena walked in in a pink dress that fell just to her knees. "Guess what we're doing today!"

Reyna groaned, "Craaaaaaap."

"What?" Annabeth asked covering her mouth with her hand.

Silena grinned. "My mother has offered to take us out!"

Reyna blinked.

Annabeth yawned and put down her plate, "Where?"

"The mall. Then we'll probably get Subway or something because my mother hates the food court there."

Annabeth sighed. Today was going to be a long day.

...

Bianca stared through the window of a photography place. A sign taped to the window said they were hiring.

Bianca fiddled with her camera, "Do you think if I ask, they'll give me the job for the day?"

"For the day?" Jason asked.

"Yeah." Bianca shrugged. "Business is business, right?"

"You can try," Percy shrugged.

And five minutes later Bianca was grinning because they gave her the job. Hazel offered to stay with her, and the rest continued on. Leo made a comment about meeting a friend and left too. Soon Piper dragged Jason off and they were down to three—Percy, Nico and Thalia.

Percy stuck his hands in his pockets. An awkward aura was around them.

"You know," Nico started, "I feel like we haven't hung out lately…like, just the three of us."

Thalia brushed a piece of hair behind her ear. "We used to, a lot."

"You guys are depressing," Percy commented. "Let's get ice cream, on me."

The trio went to get ice cream from a booth and soon they were sitting on a bench licking their ice cream talking about old things.

"Percy, you know when you take over part of your dad's company, you're going to be freaking rich," Thalia said.

Percy shrugged, "Olivia might be a tiny bit spoiled."

"Percy!" Thalia exclaimed. "Do not, I repeat, do not spoil that child. Or else she'll grow up to be a prissy brat."

Percy rolled his eyes.

Nico shook his head. "She has a point, Perce."

"Okay, okay," Percy awkwardly put up one hand on surrender and left one around his ice cream cone. "I won't spoil her."

"You know, I kind of miss your mom," Thalia commented. "Like, her cookies."

Percy smiled. "Me too." Percy glanced down at Thalia's ice cream. "What kind is that?"

Thalia looked down. "Cotton candy."

Without warning Percy leaned down and took a bite.

Thalia cringed. "How can you take a bite without your teeth being cold?"

Nico frowned. "That's not natural."

Percy grinned sheepishly. "C'mon, I want to explore a bit."

The other two nodded and followed him through the crowded mall.
