THE JOY OF BABYSITTING

Thalia made sure that she had enough Cheeseburgers and French Fries before she entered the apartment building. She was visiting her brother, Jason, and his family today and Thalia was so excited. Ever since, Jason and Piper had the twins, she always made it a point to visit as often as she could. She loved her niece and nephew so much, and she loved taking care of them. Since Thalia was not around when Jason was growing up (Curse you Hera!) she wants to make sure that she would be there as much as she could as the twins grow up.

She could already hear a little girl yelling "DADDY!" from outside the door, Jessy was such a Daddy's girl, and Thalia knew that Jason liked it. 'Josh however was a bit of a mommy's boy' Thalia thought to herself before she knocked on the door.

"Thalia!" Jason greeted her as he opened the door and gave her a hug, as well as taking her bags from her. A good thought too, because just as Jason had gotten Thalia's bags she was attacked by a five year old girl wearing a two piece baby pink bathing suit.

"Auntie Thalia!" the little girl yelled as she hugged Thalia's leg and raised her arms as she tried to get Thalia to carry her. "Hi princess" Thalia greeted her as she picked her up and kissed her cheek "How's my beautiful little girl?" Something that everyone learned was that Jessy loved being called two words: Princess and Beautiful.

"I have new clothes" she told Thalia "and dolls, and pink pillows"

"That's nice" Thalia told her as she sat down at the sofa 'Why is she wearing a bathing suit?' she mouthed to Jason who was in front of then

'Aphrodite's gift' he mouthed back

Another thing that everyone learned about Jessy was that she was less of a Piper and more of an Aphrodite. She loved clothes, everything pink, and much to Thalia's disdain, Jessy loved Barbie dolls. Whenever Thalia came to visit, Jessy would always want to play dolls with Thalia. Truth be told, Thalia hated it, but she couldn't say no to Jessy. In fact, she thinks the only people who can say no to Jessy are Piper and Jason, and that usually leads to many many tantrums.

"Jessy aren't you getting cold with what you're wearing?" Jason asked his daughter

"No. I look pretty"

"You always do, Princess, but how about we get you into a dress?" Jason continued

"A pretty dress" Thalia added

"Okay, daddy" she answered and Jason carried her towards the kids bedroom

"We'll be back" Jason told her "I think, Piper's done giving Josh a bath" with that said Piper did walk in the living room with Josh in her arms

"Thalia!" Piper greeted her and gave her Josh who instantly gave Thalia a hug

"Hi Piper, Hey there little guy how are you?" she greeted both of them

Josh started telling Thalia about his day, when Jason returned with Jessy who was now wearing a pink and white stripped dress. Jason placed Jessy next to Thalia, who then placed her head on Thalia's lap.

Her blue eyes looking at Thalia "Do I look pretty?" the little girl asked

"Of course Princess, always" Jason and Piper just laughed and shook their heads at their daughter.

"Hey, why don't the both of you go out and have a date, I'll take care of the twins" Thalia told the couple

"But I wanted to spend some time with you too" Jason whined

"Later. I'll be here for three days anyways. You two go and relax" she said

'Now!" Thalia ordered when the couple weren't moving from their spot from the couch.

"Okay okay" Piper muttered "Come on Sparky"

A few minutes later…

"and remember Thalia" Jason started. He was about to give his reminders speech, the one he gives every time someone would babysit their children.

"I already know that, Jason" she cut him off "and besides, in case you were forgetting, I took care of you when you were a kid! Now go!"

"Okay my little ones" Thalia said closing the door and facing the children "Mommy and Daddy already left, so its time for…."

"French Fries!" Jessy cheered

"Burgers" Josh cheered

"You got it!" Thalia told them and opened up one of her bags that contained the food. Piper wasn't a fan of giving her children fast food, so Thalia had to be careful and sneaky when she gave the children burgers and french fries. The main reason why she had to kick them out, so that she could give the twins their dose of fast food from Auntie Thalia. She had just enough time to feed the kids, and make them go potty so that Jason and most especially Piper would never have to find out. Her sister-in-law could be scary sometimes, and Thalia wasn't usually scared of her fellow demigods. 'I guess being a mother makes a person scarier' Thalia thought. One burger each, and a pile of fries for the kids, while Thalia had more burgers of course. The twins were smiling and giggling as they ate their food. 'Always worth it' Thalia thought as she watched the twins.

Josh looked more like Jason, acted more like him too. Looking at Josh always reminded Thalia when Jason was just a little kid. Jessy looked more of like a mixture of Jason and Piper, but sometimes there's an angle where she looks a bit like their late mother, Beryl Grace. The first time that Jessy asked Thalia if she looked pretty, brought back Thalia to when her mother was still alive. When she was just a little girl, before Jason was born their mother would always face the mirror and ask Thalia if she looked pretty, she always did that before Zeus came to visit.

Thalia was brought out of her thoughts when Jessy asked for water. When the food was gone, Thalia sat them down for a movie. A princess movie (Jessy's request) halfway through the movie it was already potty time for Jessy and Josh soon followed his sisters example.

A while later Thalia was again forced to play dolls with little Jessy, even Josh was forced to play. Josh was holding a male doll, which he was quietly stabbing with a toy sword behind his sisters back. Thalia wished she could stab the dolls too but with a real sword, but that would make her niece cry.

"I'm sleepy" the little girl yawned and crawled next to her brother "Hug Joshy" she said holding out her arms for a hug. She hugged her brother and used him as a pillow, soon Jessy was already fast asleep lying on the couch, hugging her brother. Josh fell asleep as well, though he really didn't have much of a choice.

Thalia smiled to herself, the twins had such a close relationship and were so adorable. She placed a blanket over the twins before picking up their toys, and cleaning up before the couple arrive from their date.
