Chapter 10:
Leo sat up and stretched. He smiled at his lovers and sat for a second just admiring them.
Yeah, that's right. The great Leo Valdez had two lovers. He was just that cool.
Leo climbed out if the warm bed and walked down the stairs to a kitchen. He lived on Olympus as an immortal. It had been a challenge to not run off with Percy, Nico and Jason but he couldn't give love up. Not with them around. They loved him and he loved them, not that anyone would ever accept it. It was too unnatural, the idea of polygamy and bisexuality.
It was looked down upon and that was the reason they wouldn't live on mount Olympus where they could be mocked and hurt. They lived in a city with other people like them who accepted them.
Clarisse and Chris lived next door with their daughter Yumi. Leo was upset when he heard Percy came around here with another small child who needed a family and didn't say hi. Percy was well-known in the town because the majority of the children in there were from him.
In fact, after Leo's first child had been born, it had taken a lot away from his wife. They didn't want to risk another child but they did want a large family.
Their son Isaiah would be five this year. He was their only blood child and was quite well rounded. Then there was the oldest, a girl named Zaida who was seven.
Percy had found the girl half starving on the streets after being kicked out of her house with her brother. Percy had taken her older brother Eli and left her with in Leo's care. Leo adored the girl, she was so helpful and smart that he couldn't help but fall in love with her.
Then there were the triplets. Well… they weren't actually triplets but when Percy gave them to him they were all the same age and became very close.
The first two years old was Evelina. She was the oldest of the triplets and the leader of them. Then there was Lesli who was the middle one who had quite a bit of attitude when she was upset. She was sweet and cuddly any other time. The last was Alana, a sweet little angel as Leo dubbed her. She was just so cute and kind hearted it was hard to see past her natural beauty and kindness.
The youngest was an infant named Kyle. Kyle was too young for Percy to even consider have join his hunters so he was given to Leo.
Speaking of which, there was the cries of his little prince. Rushing to the nursery he reached into a crib and pulled out a grumpy baby.
"Daddy?" Leo hushed the baby and turned around to see Alana rubbing her eye.
"What's wrong Princess?" Leo asked her as he led her back to the kitchen to put on some coffee.
"I had a nightmare again about how mama hurt me." She whimpered.
Leo kissed her forehead and offered her a smile. "Want to help me cook breakfast?"
"Step away from the kitchen Valdez," a voice growled as am arm wrapped around his waist.
"It's Valdez-Zhang," Leo corrected softly as he turned to kiss the man behind him.
Frank grinned, "Yes you are."
Hazel frowned, "No sex in the kitchen. I thought we went over this already."
"It was just a kiss!" Leo turned red.
Frank and Hazel laughed at his expense. Leo frowned, "Kyle, you love me right?"
Kyle giggled happily causing Leo to smile. "Yeah, I love you too."

"Percy," Artemis said, "can I talk to you?"
Percy scowled, he was still pretty upset with her because of earlier and really didn't want to talk to him.
"Talk then." Percy said, "You should be able to say what you want in front of my hunters."
Artemis scowled, "Listen here boy, this information needs to stay secret. It is strictly Olympian business."
"I would never keep anything important from my hunters," Percy growled. "There are no secrets between us."
"You dare talk down to me!" Artemis roared, "You're such a boy!"
"Well guess what? I am a boy and I'm proud to be one and not a shallow, selfish girl like you are!"
Thalia groaned and rolled her eyes, they've been fighting nonstop the second they were on the road together. It was terrible.
Jason and Nico put their hands on Percy's shoulder and the son of Poseidon calmed down.
"I'm done with you Artemis," Percy spat. "Come on boys, set up camp and do not let any girl in. Understand?"
"Yes sir," the boys choired.
Percy groaned and sat next to the fire in his camp. He hated fighting but whenever he saw Artemis this bad side of him always appeared. There was something about her that made him change and he hated it. She didn't deserve the words he said to her no matter how much truth was there, especially from him.
He was much younger and less experienced then she was and he did have a grudging respect for her. She wanted girls to appear as strong as men but Percy didn't think that she was going about it correctly. For one thing she was sexist. She would abandon a child because he was a boy. Percy didn't agree with that.
He would never leave a little girl by herself to suffer. He would help her. He loved kids and he saw past gender to see kids to their fullest potential.
But he supposes she was right when she said that the younger kids should stay out of the battle. He wouldn't risk innocent lives because of pride. He knew that if he sent any of his cubs out they would only get in the way and result in a lost life.
Tomorrow he would bring the younger kids to Leo so Leo could care for them. It was for the best. If something happened to him and his hunters he wanted the littlest ones to have a chance at a normal life.
