Percy's POV
Leo looked about 6 in this one, and it looked like he was in an apartment. A woman who looked a lot like him was holding him on the rocking chair, and he was- wait, WHAT?! He was six and he was fixing a coffee machine? Dang...
Anyways, after I came out of my shock, his mother began to speak.
"Eres tan intelligente, mi hijo." Words appeared at the bottom of the screen, translating it You are so smart, my son.
"Gracias, mama," Leo said. He handed her the coffee machine, which was completely fixed.
"Te quiero, Leo." She said, hugging him. I love you, Leo.
"Yo tambien te quiero, mama." He replied. They hugged, and a sound came from outside. I love you too, mom.
" Stay here, mi hijo." His mom said. I think her name was Hesperana, or something like that.
He nodded.
She opened the door. Standing there was Hephaestus. "Hello, Esperanza."
She hugged him. "Where have you been, Hephaestus?"
He sighed. "There is something I need to tell you."
The memory time-skipped.
They were in the living room, and Leo was playing with some Legos.
"So, you are a Greek God? And Leo is a demigod?"
"Yes, that is true."
"Will he be okay?"
"I will protect him, no matter what happens. The thing is, there was this thing, and apparently, you're going to die in 2 years, because of a fire."
If I were Esperanza, I'd probably freak out at that news. But she sighed and ruffled Leo's hair. "I understand. Leo is strong enough. I know he can take care of himself."
"Well, good night, Esperanza. I have work to get to." Hephaestus kissed her cheek and left out the door.
Esperanza sighed.
"Mama?"
"Yes, mi hijo?"
"Is daddy a bad man? Is he being mean to you?"
Esperanza looked on the verge of tears. She hugged him. "No, no, mi hijo, he is a wonderful man. Never forget that okay?"
"Okay, mama. As long as you're happy."
The memory ended there. We were speechless.
Finally, Hazel broke the silence. "If only I had a mother like that," She said, then silently sobbed into Frank's chest.
Leo's thoughts came again. I know some of you didn't have that great of a childhood, and looking at my life until I was 8 makes it seem like my life was as fine as Percy's or Frank's. But every good thing has to end.
The next memory came, and it showed Leo in class. He looked about 7 this time.
He wasn't paying attention to what the teacher, though, he was simply making a contraction. Classic Leo.
"LEONARDO VALDEZ!" The teacher yelled at him. She had an evil glint in her eyes, the kind a teacher has when they're about to embarrass a student.
"What is the value of 3564 to the power of 15?" Oh, heck no, I thought. He is not going to be able to answer that! I can't answer that!
"1.90136472e53," he answered without looking up. "Try giving us something hard for once."
The memory ended there. We were all dumbfounded.
"H-he just explained one of the most complicated problems I have ever heard in seconds!" Annabeth spluttered. She looked a bit jealous, if I could say.
"Somebody's jealous," I taunted. She punched me in the arm. I kissed her forehead.
"Is that your way of saying sorry?" Annabeth asked me.
"Nope. It's my way of saying I was right!" I answered with a smug smile on my face.
She looked like she was about to say something but Piper beat her to it.
"Will you two stop bickering and let us listen to this next memory?!"
We blushed. Then the next memory came.
And let's just say, this one, was not a happy one.
Hope you guys enjoyed that! And sorry if the Spanish is a little off, I don't speak Spanish, so I used google translate. Give me ideas for memories, and any other things you'd like to address in your reviews! Follow, Favorite, Review, and REPEAT! Lol, #Go Leo! Sorry this was late, it was meant to be posted on Leo's B-Day. Happy belated Birthday, Leo!
Live Love Laugh,
