1. Christmas Morning

By Ecdecdecd

Based on my family at Christmas

Percy's Pov
"Merry Christmas!" yelled Luke as he jumped on my bed.
"Luke stop jumping on Mom and Dad's bed," shouted Zoë.
Annabeth and I sat up on the bed. I grabbed Luke and swung him up in the air making him laugh. Zoë rolled her eyes at us but she didn't protest when Annabeth pulled her into her lap. We walked downstairs to the kitchen where I started making blue chocolate chip pancakes.
"Merry Christmas," Annabeth said grinning as she handed each of the kids a fuzzy neckwarmer.
"Wow. This is so cool thanks Mom," said Zoë inspecting her blue and gold one.
"I love it," Luke grinned.
Annabeth grabbed the plates and forks. We exchanged a happy-sad look as she set the table. Christmas was that time of year for us because we were always reminded of our fallen comrades.
After making a sacrifice to the Gods we all sat down to eat.
"Luke can you please stop shoveling all that food, you might get a stomach ache,"  Annabeth scolded.
"Sorry Mom," Luke said slowing down a bit, "I'm just so excited for Christmas,"
"Eating fast isn't going to make Sammy get here sooner," Zoë said without looking up from her book.
"Well eating slow is not going to make Esmerelda get here sooner either," Luke argued.
For a minute or two there was silence as we ate.
"Mom, Dad we're finished eating," Luke said suddenly.
"All right. Now put away your dishes," I said.
They nodded and quickly put away their dishes. Annabeth and I put away our dishes as soon as we finished. Then the doorbell rang. I opened the door. Standing outside was Hazel, Frank, their kids Sammy and Emerald, Leo, Calypso, Esmerelda, Piper, and Sam.
"Hi guys." Annabeth said as she invited them in.
"I'm pretty sure the kids want to open their presents now," I said.
"Nah," Leo joked, "they just want to give them all to us, right kids?"
I heard a mixture of no ways and come on Dad from the kids.
"All right," he put his hands up, "there are some things you just don't joke about."
Piper raised her hand suddenly. I knew this was our signal. See the kids all wanted weapons so as a surprise we got them all weapons for christmas. Hazel as planned summoned all the weapons from their various hiding places and into their new owners hands.
"Surprise!" We yelled.
