Piper and Annabeth watched the three children eat their dinner. They had different tastes but agreed in one portion. Blue food. Annabeth tried not think that food is finally getting these days in the mortal world. Because since she last check, the food wasn't blue. She remembered that the kids loved Sally's cooking.
"How does it taste?" Piper asked, hoping positive answers. Even though it was the nymph was the one who prepared the food and not her.
They were currently at the dining pavilion in which is deserted. Hazel and Frank were in charge of taking the unconscious girl to the Big House. Jason had went to report to Chiron. Percy and Leo took the job of putting Nico on his own cabin. And they were stuck on babysitting the children for a while.
"Fine." The girl had answered.
"But not better for Sally or Mommy's cooking." The mini Percy answered.
"Hey, be kind to them guys. They are taking care of Mom aren't they?" The mini Jason had answered.
Those words hurt. But they were acting exactly how their big ones would. It was kind a shock that they were kind of miniature versions of the Big Three sons. Piper tried not to tackle them with a big hug and suffocate them. As for the Athena's daughter, she was thinking if the girl from earlier was the so called mother of the three. What she thought, she asked.
"Who is this Mommy and Mom?" she asked.
"The girl from earlier." The girl answered. Blunt but straightforward, just like Nico.
"Why Mommy? Did she gave birth to the three of you?" If she did, she doesn't look like her age at all, Piper added as an afterthought after she asked.
"Does she look like a whale to give birth to three healthy children?" the girl snapped back.
"Well excuse me! I was asking here!" Piper shot back.
"Nero, you should really stop talking back to adults like that." The Mini black haired Jason reprimanded.
The mini girl Nico clicked her tongue before savoring the blue cupcake in her hands. The mini Jason was the one who told them. Corinthia was a mother figure to them. Their mothers had left them, lost in love whoever their godly parents are. They lived under their mother's family but they gave up on them since all they give is trouble because of the demigod powers. Corinthia was the one who accepted them, explained why they had such powers. But she won't just budge to tell them whoever their godly parent was. They did not continue asking her since they saw how hard for a teenager to raise three ADHD children plus who are always chased by monsters. To them, it was already enough to have someone to care for them.
"Aaww, aren't you three cute little things?" Piper poked the nearest kid, mini Jason, with a finger. She truly admired the three's determination and maturity. At their age, she was still probably crying from the bullying she got.
"Though at the age of fifteen, that is truly remarkable…" Annabeth muttered under her breath.
"Would you help Mommy to take care of us? I really want Mommy to get back to school." The mini Pecy asked, albeit too cutely for the normal Percy. Annabeth tried not to squeal in delight on how cute the kid was.
"Of course!" Piper grinned "But before that, shouldn't introductions go first? I'm Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite."
"And I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." She smiled at the three who nodded in recognition.
The children did their own introductions. After eating, the three immediately asked if they could go see Corinthia. The duo agreed and lead them to the Big House. Really, the three were worry nuts. When they arrive at the Big House they saw Frank and Hazel talking to a now awake Corinthia.
"Mom/Mommy/Mama!" three consecutive calls were heard and now Corinthia was down with three children hugging her.
"Hey now, missed me?" she smiled and hugged the children back.
The children sobbed on her chest which sent most panic in the older demigods present but Corinthia giggled and kissed their foreheads. She just let the children cry to their heart's content until they fell asleep. The only mortal in the room asked Frank if he could carry Azure who was about to fall. He complied and in a swift motion the two kids, Bianco and Nero were in bed. Corinthia smiled at her work and took Azure out of Frank's arms and placed him beside Nero.
"It's been a long time isn't it Annabeth Chase?" she grinned.
Finally, Annabeth recognizes the girl.
It was almost past ten years when Corinthia and Annabeth met. It was just a simple living in California. It was just a simple school day of little Annabeth getting called to the principal's office but it had changed when a nerdy girl had come to save her form getting to trouble. In the glory of an almost crying Annabeth, there stood a girl with glinting glass with a smirk to save her. The girl took the blame in Annabeth's questionably actions. That made the girl's whole family to come.
The daughter of Athena vaguely remembers the fear she got from watching a girl taking all the blame for her and her whole family scolds her for it. The family was composed of three bulky older brothers, a father and a calm and composed mother than Annabeth didn't saw lash out on the glasses girl. She saw the girl frown and retort back before grabbing Annabeth's arm and run away.
The girl just simply grin at her and took her handkerchief from her pocket. She slowly raised Annabeth's sleeve to show the cut she got from fighting the girls who bullied her. The glasses girl wrapped the handkerchief around the cut and patted it, as if hoping it to go away in an instant.
"W-Why did you told them tha- It go you even to trou-" Annabeth was nervous. She didn't even to say what she wants to properly say.
"Geez, calm down Chase." The girl grinned "Some woman with the same eyes with you told me to say that."
It took Annabeth ten years to realize that it was Athena who sent Corinthia to save her from the bullies. For that she was grateful. In those ten years, how come Corinthia had remember all of those? Possibly she has a great memory.
"So, you got them to see you as their mother figure. Nice job!" Piper gave her a thumbs-up.
"Well, I was just feeling a duty for them…" Corinthia scratched her cheek as she stared at the kids. "Can't leave a kid on their own can I?"
"Sure sure, and you can't leave your body unrest." Hazel interrupted as she literally shoves Corinthia into another bed. "How 'bout you rest up until tomorrow, how's that sound Corin?"
The girl just nodded as if she got scolded by her mother. Annabeth giggled as she watched Hazel pout and gave Frank a good glare since he laughed.
"Well, go on and good night everybody."
And so... Annabeth and Corinthia's past... hope you like it! Sorry if this is getting nonsense and nonsense throughout..
I order you to review *wink*
