THE JOY OF BABYSITTING
Percy, Annabeth, Piper and Jason went on a double date to Montauk for the weekend, while their children were at the care of Leo and Calypso. Since there wasn't much playing space in their apartment, Leo decided to take the kids to Camp Half-Blood. He and Calypso were sitting at the porch of the big house with a two year old Jessica Grace, while Josh Grace and Trina Jackson were chasing each other around festus.
"Auntie Calypso, can you please braid my hair?" Jess asked
"Sure, sweetie" Calypso said and started to braid the little girls blonde hair
"Why aren't you playing with your brother and Trina?" Leo asked her
"My dress will get dirty" she said and looked down on her baby pink dress
The little girl was the exact opposite of her mother, if Piper hated dresses, her daughter loved them. She won't wear anything except for dresses and skirts. There was even a time when Piper tried to get her to wear jeans and a mini Camp Half-Blood t-shirt, Jess threw a tantrum until Piper gave her a denim skirt instead of jeans to wear. Leo turned on his camera so he could film Calypso braiding the little girls hair, she was wearing a baby pink dress, and pink shoes. She was playing with a barbie doll, in the same pink dress. The girl looked up at Calypso and waved her doll in the air
"Can you teach me to braid her hair too?" she asked Calypso
"Sure, Jess, let me show you how" she answered the little girl
Leo continued to film the two for a while until he turned his camera towards the two children who were still chasing each other around. Josh was chasing Trina around Festus, when he tripped on a rock and fell on top of Trina. Leo was about to walk towards them to pull the two apart before one of them starts to cry, when Josh who was looking at Trina suddenly kissed her on the lips, laughed and stood up. The little Jackson was still looking at her playmate, Leo was afraid that the girl might kick Josh, or worse, throw him in the lake. The little boy reached out his tiny hands in an attempt to help her stand up, Trina took his hands, but that only caused both them to fall on their butt. The two giggled and both stood up and ran to Leo.
"Uncle Leo, I'm hungry!" Trina screamed
"What do you want to eat, little mermaid?" he asked her
"French Fries!" she screamed
"McDonalds!" Jess screamed as well
"But mommy said no fast food" Josh told them
The little guys is too much like Jason, always following the rules, always doing the right thing.
"Josh will eat a carrot" Jess told Leo "I want a happy meal!"
"Come on let's go to Mcdonalds" Leo told them
"But mommy said" Josh started
Leo sat next to Josh "Mommy will never have to find out Little J" he told him and smirked "it'll be our little secret" he stood up and carried Jess in his arms, while Calypso carried Josh and Trina who were trying to poke each others eyes.
"Can we ride Festus in dragon form?" Jess asked him
"No princess, because Trina's scared of heights, she might cry and drown me" Leo told her and looked back at the little Jackson. He already made the mistake once, which ended up to Leo being grabbed by the water and thrown in the Lake by a scared, screaming little Jackson.
He then got out his car keys and transformed Festus into Car form, Festus turned into a bronze pick up truck. He opened the door to the back seat and placed Jess on one of the baby car seats, and Calypso did the same to the two other children.
Leo couldn't wait for his friends to get back from their double date, he had a feeling Percy was going to faint if he finds out that his daughter just had her first kiss, at the age of two. It's a good thing Leo had his camera and had filmed that little scenario.
When Percy, Jason, Annabeth, and Piper got back from Montauk, Leo instantly showed them the video he took at Camp.
"You guys have to see this!" Leo told them
"What is it Leo?" Annabeth asked "Where are our kids?"
"At the kitchen with Calypso" He told them "You have to see this first" he told them and turned on his laptop, to let them watch the video. He also turned on his camera, waiting for Percy to faint at the sight of his little girls first kiss.
"Oh my gods!" Piper screamed
Percy turned pale "that's my little girl!" Leo was disappointed that Percy didn't faint like he expected.
Annabeth had her hands on her mouth and Jason was just starring at the screen
Calypso and the kids entered the living room and ran to their parents, a chorus of mommy's and daddy's were heard.
"Mommy! Daddy! Uncle Leo took us to Camp!" Trina told her parents
"Oh that's great sweetie, what did you do there?" Annabeth asked her as she picked up her daughter and carried her
"We played" she answered and looked at Percy "Daddy! Where's my hug?"
Percy laughed and took their daughter from Annabeth
"Mommy, Josh kissed Trina at Camp" Jess told Piper as she sat on her lap playing with her mommy's hair, trying to braid it the way Calypso taught her, but only managing to tangle her mom's hair even more
Leo was shocked he thought Jess wasn't paying attention to that when it happened. Josh was already in Jason's arms and just looked at his sister
"Why did you kiss her, buddy?" Jason asked him
"She fell. You kissed mommy when she fell on the floor" he answered and looked at Jason innocently
Jason and Piper looked at each other and laughed
'Mental note for the future' Leo thought 'Don't kiss in front of your kids, or they might go around kissing other kids'
"Like I said Percy" Leo told his green eyed friend "If those two end up married, you are going to owe me a lot of money" He laughed and continued to film the event taking place at his apartment. Oh how he loves baby sitting.
