THE JOY OF BABYSITTING
Annabeth was giving birth to their second daughter and Jason, Piper, and Calypso were in charge of making sure that Percy doesn't faint (again). While Leo was left in the apartment, he was incharge of taking care of the three little children (Jessy, Josh, and Trina). Percy had just enough time to drop off Trina at Leo's while making a call to Piper and Jason. Who then dropped off their twins, to go and help Annabeth and Percy. While Will was already waiting for them at the hospital, and has already informed Annabeth's doctor that she was already on her way. Of course, everything went according to Annabeth's plan, thank the gods of Olympus!
Leo had already been watching the children for about two hours, and so far so good. Well….. maybe except for the fact that Trina had been bombarding him with questions like "Is my sister here yet?" "Can I see her now?" "Why are they taking so long?" When Leo had answered her that her mother was still in Labor, he was then asked "What's that?" He should have never answered her. He didn't know how to answer the little girls question in what Annabeth would call 'child friendly'. Luckily, Trina had a follow up question of "Is that how babies are born?" and all Leo had to do was to nod his head and try to offer the little girl some food to get her to shut up. She was really persistent whenever she was curious about something. Thankfully, Josh had been trying to get Trina's attention and he finally got it when he placed a book in her lap. She immediately stopped questioning Leo and proceeded to showing Josh the pictures on the book. It was The Little Mermaid.
'Seriously?' Leo thought
This little girl probably already had it memorized. Percy has read that to her a hundred times already! Doesn't she get tired of that? Then again, when you love books so much you probably don't get tired of reading or hearing the same book over and over again.
What was Jessy doing you asked? Jessy was being a good little princess and was currently sleeping on Leo's lap. At least right now he only had two hyper active kids to watch, and he hoped to all the gods that these two would not start fighting any time soon. Every time that Josh and Trina have a fight, Leo feels like his babysitting Jupiter and Poseidon themselves and that World War III is brewing.
Leo was observing Josh and Trina who were now coloring on one of Trina's coloring book. They were both lying on their stomachs on the floor and were talking. The two really looked adorable, they got along great too but their fights were terrible. Leo saw Josh hand Trina a purple crayon. She's been interested in the color purple lately, though she didn't have the same obsession with purple like Jessy had with the color pink.
"Unlce Leo" Someone spoke from beside him that startled him a little. Looks like Jessy had woken up from her nap.
"Yes princess?" he asked her
"I'm hungry. I want ice cream"
"McDonalds!" Trina exclaimed looking up at him
Jessy immediately nodded her head in agreement "and then Ice cream!"
Leo looked at the three children who were looking at him waiting for his response 'Piper would never have to find out' Leo though
"Okay. Let's go" Leo told them and the kids jumped up and down in excitement
After putting on the children's shoes and brushing Jessy's hair, they were ready to go.
When Leo had finished feeding the children and got them their Ice Cream, without spilling anything on their clothes, they were ready to go home. But as Leo placed them on their car seats, that's when he had received a call from Piper, telling him that Annabeth had already given birth. She also said that he should take the kids to the Hospital, Trina was going to give the name to the little girl after all. When they arrived at the Hospital, Annabeth had already been transfered to a Private Room, and they were just waiting for the baby to be brought back to the room.
Inside the room was Annabeth, Percy, Piper, Jason, Will, Sally, Paul, and Estelle. Annabeth's Dad and Step mom were already on the plane heading to New York, and Nico, Rachel and the others were on their way.
"MOMMY! DADDY!" the three children exclaimed as they saw their respective parents
Leo's friends, being the good parents that they were picked up their children. While Leo headed over to where Calypso was sitting, sat beside her, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Percy carried Trina and sat her down beside Annabeth, Jason carried Jessy, and Piper carried Josh.
"Did you kids eat already?" Piper asked
'OH NO' Leo thought
"We had McDonalds and Ice Cream" Josh smiled at his mother
"LEO!"
"Josh that was a secret" Jessy told her brother
"Oops"
Yeah oops. Count it on Little J to be honest. That kid was a goody goody since birth, always following the rules, and always telling the truth, especially to Piper.
"You know I can't say no to them!" Leo argued defending himself. It was true. Leo could rarely say no to those three little kids. He couldn't resist their please and puppy dog eyes. Those children were just really adorable.
A few minutes later the little baby was brought to the room. This girl was the opposite of Trina, instead of having black hair and green eyes, she had traces of blonde hair and when she opened her eyes everyone saw that she had gray eyes like Annabeth.
"What do you want to name her, baby?" Annabeth asked Trina as she held her second baby
Trina who was being carried by Percy looked over at her little sister for awhile. Leo thought he could almost see the gears turning in her head.
"Amethyst" Trina exclaimed smiling up at her parents
"That's a pretty name sweetie" Percy said "But why that?"
"Mommy said Amethyst is a purple gem. I like purple. And I like little sister" she explained
Remember when Leo said that Trina wasn't that obsessed with the color purple? Yep. He was wrong.
"I like it" Annabeth said
"Yeah me to. Good job, sweetie" Percy said kissing his daughter in the cheek
"Amethyst Jackson" Annabeth said and the little girl actually let out a giggle
"Guess she likes her name too" Sally said smiling at her grand daughter
After everyone had taken turns at looking and carrying the baby, and getting lots of pictures, including a family photo of the Jackson's. Josh and Jessy were placed in the bed next to Trina and Annabeth, so that they could take a look at the baby as well.
"She's pretty" Josh said
"She's like my doll!" Jessy exclaimed "Mommy can I keep her?"
Everyone laughed at Jessy for a bit, she was still so innocent, and she loved dolls so much.
"You can't keep her Princess, she's Trina's sister" Piper explained to her daughter
"Can I have a sister too?" she asked innocently
Leo stared at Jessy for a bit, he had heard from Jason that when Josh had asked for a little brother, Jessy had a tantrum. Now she was asking for a sister? Before Piper and Jason could answer her. Leo said "Are you sure Princess? You'd be replaced as daddy's Princess when that happens" Big Mistake.
Jessy's eyes were so wide and she started crying and reaching for Jason as if he would disappear.
"Daddyyyyyy!" she wailed and cried as hard as she could
"LEO!"
After Jason had managed to calm down Jessy, and after all the girls in the room had scolded Leo (Especially Piper and Calypso), Jessy was again sitting next to Trina.
"It's okay Jessy" Trina said comforting her friend "We can share my sister"
Annabeth and Percy smiled down at their daughter, and Percy ruffled his daughter's hair.
"We can?"
"Yes. You share Josh with me. Josh is like my brother too"
Leo nudged Jason in the ribs and told him to look at his son who didn't seem to like being called 'Trina's brother'. The little boy was frowning, Poor Josh he'd already been brother zoned at such a young age.
"I'm not your brother" Josh said frowning even more
"Like my brother" Trina explained
"NO" Josh grumbled "I'm only Jessy's brother"
"Fine"
"Fine"
"Awkward" Leo muttered while Jason and Percy were trying not to laugh at their children
Jessy looked back and forth between her friend and brother and blinked "Like mommy and daddy" she said and giggled "No more fighting! Too noisy for baby doll" she said
"Look who's talking" Leo muttered that only Calypso could hear "She was the noisy one earlier
"Yes. And it was your fault" she hissed at him
"What did you say, Jessy?" Annabeth asked
"Baby doll!" she said pointing at the baby in Annabeth's arms "Pretty like my dolls"
"She is pretty isn't she? Just like her mother" Percy smiled and kissed Annabeth's cheek
Josh and Trina didn't speak to each other for the rest of the day. Even when Josh, Jessy, Piper and Jason had to leave, Trina still refused to talk to Josh.
"Good bye Uncle Jason, Auntie Piper and Jessy" Trina said then turned around, still refusing to talk to Josh.
"Hug" Jessy insisted and hugged Trina who also hugged her back. Jessy even said goodbye to 'Baby doll'
"Goodbye Baby Doll. You'll be pretty forever" she said to Amethyst
"Joshy say goodbye to Baby Doll" she told her brother
"Bye Baby Doll"
"And to Trina" Piper added but Josh shook his head
"Trina say goodbye to Josh" Annabeth said
"NO"
"Trina….."
"NO" she huffed shaking her head furiously
Jason placed Josh on the bed beside Trina who had her back turned, and whispered something into Josh's ear. The little boy nodded and tapped Trina on the shoulder. She probably thought it was Jessy because she quickly turned around.
"Hug?" Josh asked "I'm sorry"
Trina looked him over for awhile and everyone thought that she might push Josh off the bed.
"Sorry" she said and hugged Josh
"Not my brother?" she asked
"No" he replied smiling
"Okay" Trina said and smiled at Josh
That was the story of how Annabeth gave birth, how Trina gave her little sister a name and how Josh had gotten in and out of the brother zone.
