"Dad, do we have to go to school tomorrow?" Luke asked as his father drove him and his siblings toward their house.
"Yes, of course you do. Why wouldn't you?"
"Well, we're getting home late, so wouldn't we stay home from school tomorrow?"
"No, you're not staying home. Speaking of getting home late, you probably should start getting to sleep." Percy said as he sat behind the steering wheel and let out a sigh.
"What's wrong dad?"
"Nothing, just gonna miss your mom, that's all."
"I'll miss her too, but we're gonna see her next weekend, right?" Luke asked with a naïve look on his face.
"No, Luke, that's the last time we'll see her in a couple months at least. Don't tell your brother and sister, alright?"
"Ok dad, but why cant we see her?"
"Its dangerous for you guys to be around her and the baby." Percy said with a glance at his son's downcast features.
"Alright dad, I guess I understand."
"Sorry bud, its not our choice anymore. We have to keep you guys safe and keep your mom safe too."
"I'm gonna take a nap, night dad."
"Goodnight, son." Percy said as he looked over at the upset form of his firstborn son.
