Skylar's POV:
So, while we had our commercial break you happened to miss out on the talk my mom and I had, but don't worry I will fill you in on what you missed. So, it went something like this. . .

"So, you have been alive the whole time, and you didn't tell me?" Mom asked me.

"Well, I didn't know about you until I was 12 years old. The rest of the time I was in foster homes." I said, and cringed when she made a face.

"Why were you in foster systems, and why aren't you the same age as Percy?" Mom asked.

I will skip the part about me explaining what happened since you have already heard that. Anyways her next question was the thing that I was regretting the most.

"Why didn't you come visit me when you found out about me 3 years ago? That was 3 years you could have been in our lives, and had a family." She asks me, after hearing the whole story.

"Well, when I got there I had a quest, that led to me getting claimed, then the gods took me in to meet me, which led to them raising me. Then a year later I had a quest in the underworld, and I stayed down there for 2 months." I started explaining. "After that I had my boyfriend die, then I spent months recovering, which leads to now and me on my new quest." I say, and I watch her expression turn to sadness.

"Oh honey." Mom says, and jumps up and hugs me. "You really loved him didn't you?" She questions, and gives me a knowing look.

"Yeah, yeah I did." I say, and I feel the tears starting to form in my eyes.

"Yuck! What in the Hades? Why are we talking about this? My little sister is too young to be in love. UCK!" Percy yells, looking as green as I do when I eat fish.

"Percy, shut it." I say, looking at him, with a small smile on my face.

"Skylar? Why don't you come live with us, and we could be a family? You could have a family. I- I thought you died. Why did you get taken away from me? Why couldn't Hera just shove it up her-" She started ranting, and when she got to the last part I got involved.

"WHOA! Whoa let's not talk about this right now. Um. Anyways Hera feels bad about what she did, and I mean I guess I didn't come visit with you because I didn't want to ruin Estelles life! Do you know how many monsters attack me? How many monsters know me because of Percy? Not that it is his fault, but I am the twin sister of 'The Great Percy Jackson'." I say, with making quotation marks with my hands.

I start freaking out, and my breathing gets wild. I start to ramble, and I see everyone's faces' fall. Percy, Mom, and Estelle get up to touch me, but I flinch and hind my head between my legs in the fetal position. This is what I learned to do when the foster dad got a little too mad with me, or life in general. What I used to do was I used that famous sass, to make sure that he wouldn't hurt the other kids. But that however came with a lot of scares, and trauma.

Once I get into the fetal position, my face goes completely blank to make sure that the person hurting me doesn't get the satisfaction of my pain. I watch as my mother falls to her knees and Percy looks absolutely broken. Annabeth looks at me with pity, I think she knew from all of the scares she saw when she watched me train with Addie. Paul and Estelle look confused, but hurt at the way that I handled it.

I start to uncurl my body when my brain becomes less flustered, and I realise what I have done. I feel my face morph into shock, and I look at everyone's faces and tears start to run down my face.

"I'm so sorry. I'm so, so sorry. This is why I didn't want to come home, because I am broken. I am so, so broken, and I would only be a burden to you or your family. I am sorry. I am so, so, so, sorry." I say, and just keep repeating the last sentence over and over again.

"Oh, my, god. What happened to you? What did they do to my baby?" Mom cries, then launches herself at me.

Since I just had an episode I flinched hard, but I hugged her back. I started rubbing her back, and humming the song that Tyler taught me to calm myself down. You know it was kinda ironic because he was a child of Apollo. I mean, but I loved the song and I guess it was my comfort since he used to sing it while I had a panic attack.

Oh! Stupid ADHD I got completly off track, and forgot to mention what the song was again didn't I. Well I mean I guess you probably already guessed it, because well there is only 1 nursery song that talks about Sunshine. Well, now I have completely given it away, oh well, I started humming 'You Are My Sunshine'.

When I realised that she stopped crying, I looked down at her and realised that she had fallen asleep. I look around the room, and see that Percy is crying in Annabeth's arms, and Estelle and Paul are clinging to each other looking at me like they want to hug me too. I took a deep breath and opened up my arms with a small smile on my face.

They waste no time jumping in my arms and hugging me. Percy is behind me and cradling me like a baby and rocking us back and forth, while Paul and Estelle are in front of me clinging to me. While holding them I start to sing 'You Are My Sunshine' out loud, hoping that it will calm them some. I know it used to calm me down when Tyler sang to me, so I hope it has the same effect.

While we are all hugging and rocking together we hear a knock at the door. I look over at mom and everyone and see them all looking confused. So, I crawl out of the dog pile we have made, and walk to the door. Once I look out the peephole I feel anger throughout my body.
