Pool | Afternoon | Sunday | February 13

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

After meeting Leander earlier in the day, Percy wasn't about to stick around his room and wait for more kids to find him. He'd herded Leander (and dragged Jason along with them since he was the other dad) down to the pool since any kid of his probably liked the water.

Once down there, he'd taken the time to call Luke and both invited him and told him to find Nico since it wasn't like Percy could snap a note up to Ethan's mother. Sure, neither Luke or Nico were big fans of the water but wasn't a pool supposed to be a good way to entertain kids so their parents could spend time beating their heads into the walls or something?"

Percy wasn't sure but being around the water relaxed him enough that he either thought he could deal with the horde of demigod kids or he could make Jason or Nico or Luke deal with it because he had the water as backup. One or the other.

[Percy's here for the two demigods, a Robin, and aaaaaaaaall their kids but the pool's open!]

"Shut up, Daddy," Nico told him, frowning because it was obvious Luke's fault he was a mom. "And yes, mostly 'cause I think that kid's powers could take us all out and I don't think accidentally murdering all these other children would be a great way to spend the afternoon."

"It's a good thing he seems to be a reasonably cheerful kid," Luke said. Gods knew where that came from. "You know, so long as you don't keep him from his video games."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Can't say I'm surprised he's attached to that thing. Also can't say I want to know where these children came from. I'm voting for a group decision that no one ever gave birth. Sound good?" Because Nico really didn't need to be the mom forever.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I gave birth to none of these kids." Well that's because you bottom for no one, Luke. "So far in every foreseeable future I'm sitting back and laughing at all of your misfortunes."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Is it my misfortune or the misfortune of all these children?" Nico wondered.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"The kids seem to be pretty content with having us for parents," Luke said with a shrug. "I guess we learned from our parents' mistakes."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"In another reality." Nico thought it was important to remember that part. "Because it's not happening in this one." Ever.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"Well obviously," Luke said with a 'duh' tone. "As far as this reality is concerned, guys can't get pregnant. None of those kids are possible. Well, except Alex but I think Percy would kill me first."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah? Who's Alex's mom?" Nico asked, totally curious about who Percy was going to be glaring at forever.

"Katniss Everdeen? She was in Aly's class with us last semester," Luke said. "She was one of the first people I met here. She's pretty cool and we have a lot in common. I can see where I'd have a kid with her in another universe."

He would not be saying that last sentence to Percy, no.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah," Nico thought he recalled her bitchfacing in one of the groups. "You could do worse. I'm sure Percy's really excited about that kid."

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"He can get over it," Luke said, rolling his eyes. "He knows I care about him and wouldn't ever knock up some random girl. It'd be stupid of him to get pissy."

Luke knew he was gonna get pissy anyways.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"And still. Might want to warn Katniss about him," Nico suggested. "Did you see the super short Percy?"

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I did. Kid's kind of adorable." And won't that make things difficult on Luke in a few months. "If sort of traumatizing."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Why do you say that?" Nico thought he was weird, sure, but not more traumatizing than any of the others.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"How is Percy and Jason having a kid not traumatizing?" Luke asked.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico had perhaps missed the part where it was Jason's kid, too. "By the gods, what?"

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"You didn't know?" Whoops. "I mean, it explains why he looks just like them, only smaller. What, did you think Percy cloned himself or something?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"It made more sense than him and Jason! They hate each other." Which clearly meant hatesex and good gods, Nico didn't need to think about that.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I'm not disagreeing with you there," Luke said, putting up his hands. "I still have a hard time believing it, even after listening to that kid tell me about their make out sessions."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Gross." Nico didn't need to know that. "I don't need to know that. Who tells people that?"

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"That kid does," Luke said, pointing his thumb back over at Leander. "I'm scarred for life, I swear."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Must be Percy's influence," Nico decided, thinking that would explain it, rather than the negative aspects of Jason and Percy's natures combined. "JJ's actually kind of cool."

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"Here I was thinking it was Jason's influence," Luke said. Percy sooooooooo wasn't the sharing type. "JJ your kid with Jason?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. She's the dark-haired one," he said, pointing out her pigtails. "Poor kid, she got my eyes." No little kid deserved manic eyes, no matter how sweet.
