So, I've never adopted a story before, so I hope I'm doing this right. This fanfic originally belonged to Silverwing321. He/she wrote two chapters before putting it up for adoption. This will continue after those two chapters, so I highly recommend that you check it out first. If you don't feel like it, here's my full summary of what you missed:
Leo has really been dead for twenty years, not a few days. So while he is still fifteen, his friends are in their thirties. He has been hesitant about returning to camp, because he is fearful of his friends reactions to his resurrection. So he fly's around with Calypso for a few months. He believes his friends are still the same age however, and assumes they will be at camp when he gets there. Meanwhile, Percy and Annabeth have a three year old daughter named Luciana (Lucy) Selena Jackson, Piper and Jason have a two year old son Zachary (Zach) Chris Grace, and Hazel is pregnant with her first child. Frank has just stated that he thinks Leo would be a good name. so, there you go! Also, Lucy and Zach call each other's parents aunt and uncle. They do not do this to Hazel and Frank however, for they live in Canada and have only seen the children when they were babies.
Leo sighed as he watched the sun set. He and calypso were at the grand canyon. It had been a great day, no doubt. It was surprisingly chilly, but they should have expected that considering it was January. It had been a nearly cloudless day, and not that busy. They had eaten some ice cream at this little shop and taken a picture of a sign that talked about the squirrels possibly having the bubonic plague. They had found it fun to take pictures of danger signs. So far they had a sign that cautioned against walking around a resort at night because of animals, a sign outside of a zoo stating that people should not feed wild coyotes, a vandalized welcome sign that now read warning, and a board full of warnings at the beginning of a hike. He had never had this much fun in his life. But despite all this, he couldn't help feeling sad. His friends probably think he is dead, and he felt bad about causing them agony.
"Leo, are you alright?" asked Calypso with a concerned look. Leo shrugged.
"Yeah…it's just…my friends don't know I'm alive. What if I've been making them grieve, or blame themselves, or-
"So you want to go back?" Leo nodded.
"That's the problem. I don't want to go back. But I do. I want to go back to my friends, and my life, but I want you to still be a part of it. the gods. The quests. Its seems to be all consuming sense I found out I was a demigod. One problem after the next. I just want to travel the world. With you. But I also miss them and my siblings. It's not right to go on like this, when you and I both know they think I'm dead. And I know you don't want to face Percy and Annabeth after the whole cursing thing. But…they're my family Cal. Does that make any sense? I know I'm rambling, but I've always had trouble talking about my feelings." Calypso nodded and looked guilty. A few weeks ago, she had confided in Leo about that, saying he should hear it from her first instead of someone else.
"Despite what I want however, we do need to go back. Let's just enjoy one more week, before we head back. Agreed?" asked Calypso.
"Agreed." Calypso rested her head on Leo's shoulder, as they watched the last bit of sun disappear.
*****Meanwhile******
Piper was resting her head on Jason's shoulder, as they started at a grave. It read Leonidas Samuel Valdez. September 16, 1999- August 31 2014. Good people are like candles; they burn themselves up to give others light. We'll always love and miss you repair boy. They though the quote was appropriate considering he had sacrificed himself to save millions. The burning thing was a sad sort of inside joke considering he either blew up or burned to death. It didn't seem like enough, but the grave at camp half-blood truly addressed him as a hero. They couldn't very well state that he gave his life to stop Mother Nature on a gravestone in a mortal cemetery. The rest of the seven had refused to have a grave placed anywhere for a while, but when they finally did it was January 8th. Twenty years ago to the day. Every year, they paid respects to his grave in the mortal world on this day. On August 31st, they pay respects to his shrine at camp. Frank sniffled as he laid a white rose on the grave, before turning to hug a crying Hazel. She was in her fifth month of pregnancy with Leo Nawal Zhang. He belly was expanding greatly beneath her black sweater. Annabeth was six weeks pregnant, having found out a month ago. They still didn't know if it was going to be a girl or boy, but they both insisted that they were going to keep the gender a surprise. She was currently holding Lucy's small hand in her gloved one. The children still didn't know why they dressed in blacks and greys the same two days a year, or why everyone was sad on these days.
"Mommy!" she whined. "I wanna go home. It's cold! If daddy gets to stay home, why cant I?" piper looked up in surprise.
"Why isn't Percy here?" she asked. Annabeth scowled.
"Because he's about as mature as Lucy." She grumbled before softening. "He is tired of attending the graves of friends. He's been doing it sense he was thirteen. I think he's just sick of it." she frowned. Lucy stomped her foot and began tugging at her dress. Piper could sympathize with the small child. The dress had long velvety black and a poofy black skirt with little vines on it so dark they could've been mistaken for black. Piper was wearing a much more sensible grey sweater dress with stockings and a black sweater. No frills or poof. Really, why did she have her girl in that? Annabeth herself was wearing jeans and a black dress shirt and blazer. Even Hazel wasn't dressed that fancy. She was simply wearing a black sweater, a green skirt that went to her knees, black tights, and boots. Piper shook her head. Now was not the time to think of clothes. Stupid Aphrodite influence. Hazel checked her watch and sighed.
"We have to go. If we don't leave now, we'll miss out plane." She gave Piper, Annabeth, and Jason hugs, before turning to the kids. Lucy hid behind her mom. She waved slightly.
"Bye." She said shyly. Frank and Hazel smiled kindly at the girls.
"Can I have a hug?" frank asked. Lucy nodded and ran up to hug them. Zach didn't want to miss out, and did the same. With one last round of goodbyes, the couple left. Zach suddenly yawned loudly and held his arms up to Jason. He picked up his son, who promptly put his head on the shoulder that Piper had abandoned and closed his eyes. piper chuckled.
"Looks like someone is tired. I think we'll be heading home. What about you?" she asked Annabeth. The blonde shook her head. Lucy looked even more annoyed. Jason smiled.
"We can take Lucy with us. Piper just baked a cheesecake if Lucy wants any, and we can drop her off with Percy if she would prefer. Though, I'm sure Zachary will be up soon if she waits to play with him." Lucy started clapping her hands.
"Yeah! I wanna go wi Uncle Jason an auntie Piper!" she exclaimed before running over to her 'auntie and uncle.' Annabeth looked uncertain.
"Well…if you're sure. Lucy can be a handful. She is Percy's child after all."
"Please. I think we can handle a little girl." Annabeth grinned, looking slightly relieved. She probably hadn't been able to pay respect to Leo sense Lucy was born.
"Come Lucy." Piper smiled at the young child, and led her to their car.
AN: sorry, this was really a filler chapter. But, tada! Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson
