The first to enter was Jack, Sebastian in tow, naturally. Amarilla and Alethia following him.
"Hey mom, hey da- why're you both white?" he asked, his left eyebrow arching, "er- not like racist white, but why are you white white?"
"Your mother," cue intense glare from Percy, "er- I mean, I, may've, sort've chucked a bit of flour at your mother- but in my defense he was leaving me no spaces to woo him- ow!- anywho, the result was a full out flour war, and I didn't even get a kiss on the lips," he pouted the last part directed at Percy.
Percy face-palmed, but only to hide the laughs from inside that were causing him to shake.
"So, why did you guys need flour?" asked Alethia.
Percy produced the cake from behind, "Ta da!"
"Yay!" Amarilla cheered, "we haven't had that in ages!" she groaned, her siblings nodded.
Percy frowned, "Why not?"
"Because of- er, bad… food supply?" she looked at her siblings who just shrugged.
Percy gave her the look, and she cracked, "Because your sick so we don't have time to bake any cakes," she mumbled.
"But we don't mind," said Alethia, "As long as you get better. Because you don't really look so good after your Nemo therapy."
Percy and Nico both looked confused.
Jack sighed, "Chemo, Chemo therapy. Not Nemo."
"Oh…." they both said.
"So, how's mom doing?" asked Nico.
"He's… getting better, at least that's what uncle Will says," said Alethia.
"And what do you think, pumpkin?" Nico prodded.
"That you should stop calling me pumpkin before I go all mom on you, and that Mom is feeling a bit more alive. I can feel his life source slowly returning. But he's still sick and the therapy tires him out a lot."
Nico nodded, that was understandable.
"And grandma, how's grandma?" asked Percy.
"Good," said Amarilla, "She's helping out with you and us. But sometimes I see her in her room crying. She's worried, you know?"
Percy nodded, his mom had always worried about him.
And so they continued, eating their cake in silence. Though it didn't really seem that delectable anymore…
