THE JOY OF BABYSITTING

It was a bad night to be a babysitter. Piper, Annabeth, and Calypso were off to a girls night out. So naturally, the boys were watching the children. Jason, Percy, and Leo were all at Jason's apartment playing video games while watching the children. Leo thought it would be nice to bring them new toys, a toy dagger for Jess and toy swords for Josh and Trina. Boy was Leo wrong, he should have just stuck with stuffed bears and bouncing balls. Because immediately after giving the children their new toys, Josh and Trina became competitive four years old's, trying to slash at each other with their swords. It was fun at first, and Jason and Percy were rooting for their respective children. While Jess was minding her own dagger and eating gummy bears next to Jason. Everything was going fine, Until…..….

"I won!" Trina shouted

"No, you did not!" Josh screamed back

"I did!"

"No!

"DADDY!" they both screamed and looked up at their fathers

"How about you both won?" Percy suggested

"NO!" they both screamed

"I win! I win! I win!" she shouted louder and slashed her sword at Josh

"No" he stabbed at her

Soon enough they were slashing and stabbing at each other, yelling that he or she won.

"Okay! Okay! Stop! Both of you!" Jason tried to make them stop

Percy tried to carry his daughter away to calm her down but she was kicking and slashing so much that Percy (who was afraid that he'd drop her) had to put her down.

"If you two don't stop, Uncle Leo will take away your toys" Leo tried telling them. No use.

"You stop! I won!" the little black-haired girl told Josh

"No!" he screamed "You stop!" stabbing his sword towards her direction

The little girl slashed back, they were slashing and stabbing, back and forth until Josh somehow disarmed Trina. This made her very furious, she retrieved her sword and threw it at Josh, hitting him in the face, making him lose his balance and fall to the floor. It happened so quick that the boys didn't know what happened first, thunder crackled in the distance, lightning hit the building, the electricity went out, the kitchen faucet erupted, and the sprinklers had managed to turn on soaking them wet (except for Trina and Percy of course).

"Daddy it's raining inside!" Jess screamed trying to get Jason to carry her

"Okay, you two! Break it up!" Percy told them carrying his daughter away towards the kitchen to stop the faucet. While Leo did the same to Josh and carried him to the kitchen as well. Both children were crying now too.

"You two are usually good friends," Leo told both of them

"I'd rather have them kissing each other's faces than this" Percy told Leo as he tried to get his daughter to drink water to calm down. While Jason who had Jess in his arms tried to get the sprinklers to turn off.

"They look like they could start World War III if they're like this every day," Leo said as he tried to get Josh to stop crying "I'm never giving them toy swords ever again"

"I don't want to play with Josh anymore, daddy," Trina told Percy crying

"I don't want to play with you too!" the boy shouted at her

"Stop it," Leo told them

"You two weren't playing, you were fighting," Percy told both of them as Jason entered the kitchen with Jess in his arms. The sprinklers had finally stopped but the electricity was still not back. "Leo, can you fix the electricity?" Jason asked him

"On it," he said and sat down Josh on one of the chairs

Jason placed his daughter next to Josh "Hey there, buddy" he talked to his son who was still crying and sniffling

"Okay come here," he said carrying his son and walking towards Percy and Trina

"You two make up, and be friends again," he told the both of them

"No," Trina said shaking her head "I want to go home, daddy"

"Sweetheart, we're not going home until you two make up," Percy told his daughter and sat her down on one of the chairs

"No! I want mommy!" the little girl screamed and cried harder

Josh was still crying too, his sister seeing him cry crawled on top of the kitchen table and tried to give him a hug "Hug Joshy! Hug Joshy!" she said

Jason placed his son on the kitchen table next to his sister, who immediately gave her brother a hug

"Stop crying, Joshy," she told him, this made the little boy calm down and stop crying which made Jason smile at his children. He wished Piper was here to see their children interact like this.

"Say sorry, Joshy," she told her brother

"No!" he refused

"Daddy! He won't say sorry" she told her father

The light went back on and soon enough Leo was back in the kitchen

"They're still fighting?" he asked and his friends nodded "Hmm how about I make some grilled cheese sandwiches? You kids like that?" he asked and the three children nodded

"Say sorry" Jess repeated to her brother

"No" he refused again

Jess looked at her brother then at Trina who was still crying, she turned back to her brother. She gave him a look, one similar to the one Piper used when she was reprimanding the twins to behave.

"You will say sorry. Now," she told her brother firmly that Even Jason and Leo wanted to apologize

'Charmspeak' Jason thought and looked at his little boy who was now looking at Trina

He picked him up again and brought her closer to Trina, knowing that with what his daughter did, his son was bound to apologize.

"Sorry" he said to her, she stopped crying and looked at him

"You say sorry too" Jess said using the same tone she used on Josh

"Sorry" she said back

"Friends?" Jess asked both of them

"Friends" they both said

"She's good" Percy whispered to Jason

"Just like her mother" Jason told him back smiling

"Finally!" Leo said to the children and placed three grilled sandwiches for them to eat

"I'm still going to take back your toys though" he told the kids

"But Uncle Leo!" Jess cried "I was a good princess" she pouted

"Okay, maybe not yours, princess" he ruffled her hair which she hated

The two children who were fighting earlier pouted and looked at Leo with sad eyes

"Don't look at me like that" he exclaimed shielding his eyes

"You can't resist that Leo" Jason laughed "Look at them!"

"Please don't take away our toys, Uncle Leo" Josh told his Uncle

"Please, we'll be good" Trina added

"Look Leo, they said please" Percy laughed and carried his daughter in front of Leo

"Please" she pouted more

Leo looked at the pouting little boy and girl and sighed "Okay fine"

"Yey!" the two kids cheered and returned back to eating

Food. Food keeps these kids quiet, maybe they should have offered them food when the fight was just starting, would have saved them a lot of trouble Leo thought to himself. As Leo, was making more sandwiches for all of them he realized something: He forgot to film it on his camera like he was supposed to. Oh, Styx.
