Babysitting the Gods

Dead Drums

Nico POV

I was going to see dad. I don't know why everyone doesn't like him. He is a grumpy head, but it is because he is always in the Underworld.

Even step mom didn't like him. 

Even though no one likes him, I will love him forever.

"Where would he be" Hazel asked

"Probably in a cemetery" I replied

"The only cemetery in this location is Hades Dead" Luke said

"He might be there cause that place is named after him" Annabeth said

As we walked, to find dad, Apollo threw a tantrum to sit next Aphrodite, Hesita, or Artemis.

We put in the back seat with Aphrodite.

Artemis was peace because he didn't sit next to her.

Ares and Hephaestus didn't like it either because

Apollo and Aphrodite were sitting together, and they were sitting next to each other. 

Both of them were enemies.

When we reached the dead area, there was no one there except a young boy wearing a black cloak and playing drums.

I knew it was dad.

"Dad" I screamed, as I ran to him.

"Hi Nico" he said

"Hi dad"

"Guys dad is over here" I yelled to my friends

They came running over

All of the gods and goddesses acted like they were asleep.

"Hi uncle" Percy, Jason, and Thalia said

"Hello dad" Hazel said

"Hello everyone" dad said

"Why is everyone sleeping" dad asked

I didn't know what to say, but thankfully Thalia got me and said "They were tired so they wanted to sleep."

"Oh" dad said

"Who is here so far" dad asked

"Aphrodite and Ares" Piper said pointing in the back seats

"Apollo and Hephaestus" Hazel said pointing to the front seats

"This is father Poseidon and Hermes" Annabeth said pointing to second stroller's back seats.

"This is Persephone and Hestia" I said pointing to the second stroller's front seats.

"This Artemis" Thalia said pointing to the third stroller's front seats

"Well I prefer the back seat" dad said

He got in the dark end of the stroller and fell asleep.

We all checked if was really sleeping

He was sleeping.

We woke the others

They began talking,

Hades woke up.

He said "I want to sit with Persephone"

Nobody wanted to do that,but we can't go around with a baby crying.

We bribed Persephone that if she sits with Hades she will have a whole day for herself.

 She agreed on that deal.

Persephone wanted to sit in the front because she needs light and dad agreed, so Artemis sat next to Hestia.

Artemis and Hestia were good friends, because both were maiden and calm. 

Artemis was calm when she was not hunting.

Dad flirted with mom so hard to get her attention, but she didn't pay a sight on him.

"Who's next" Luke asked

"Athena" Hades said

"Mom" Annabeth screamed

"Oh, no she will kill me" Percy said

We all laughed
