After an hour of awkward and comedic conversation, Morgan came in and said, "Excuse me for interrupting this rom-com, but I'm really hungry, and it's 01:00 already. Mom, could you start the oven, I'm gonna get some potatoes from the garden." He ran out the door and into the garden. Calypso shrugged, and turned the oven to 180°C
Lunch was a roast, both with the food and the jokes. Dinner was long, so Calypso suggested that they stay for the night. Percy, Annabeth, Frank and Hazel were shown to the granny flat, and they went to bed early. Will and Nico went to bed in the family house, so Piper and Jason volunteered to be the ones sleeping on the sofa-bed.
"Nico?" Will whispered.
"What?" Came the answer.
"Do you think we'll ever be like Leo and Cal?"
"How so?"
"Start a family, settle down."
"Yeah."
Will smiled, and wrapped his arms around Nico, then kissed his head.
Calypso was putting on her pyjamas when Leo asked her, "How long was I gone?"
She paused, sat down on the bed, then said, "A year. How long were you gone?"
Leo frowned. "Two weeks. The quest took longer than expected." He got into bed and started reading on his kindle. "Did anything unexpected happen while I was gone?" He looked up.
Calypso sighed. "Lily's been trying to build a miniature helicopter out of fabric, and she nearly finished it, then it took off on its own and we have no idea where it went." She got into bed with Leo. "Leo?" She said.
Leo put his kindle on the nightstand. "Hm?" He replied.
"I'm glad you're back."
"Me too, sunshine."
