[Sally's POV:]

"We're your grandchildren"

"I'm sorry what!?" This was not how I expected my morning to go. At all.

"M-my name's Aria Jackson and this is Coral Jackson, we're Percy's Daughters.." Percy has kids?!? I HAVE GRANDKIDS?!?! And then I proceeded to faint. I leave the rest to you Paul...

[Paul's POV:]

And she fainted, luckily on the living room sofa, I mean it's not everyday your son you haven't seen in 6 years sends their kids unannounced to your door. I better get them inside before it rains, those clouds are not to be trusted. Trust me I know New York clouds as... funky as they can be.

"Err, come in?. I'll try to wake Sally. I mean your grandma up.." this was too weird a situation.. Am I believing them too soon? Should I just go with it for now? Wait, one of them is a cyclops. Is Annabeth a cyclops? Nah, then did Percy and her break up? Cheating? Or is it some weird demigod Poseidon grandchild thing? What in the hell is going on right now.. First my wife, then my supposed Step grandkids, my gods I have step-grandkids I never thought that'd happen. Ever. Sorry Annabeth just never saw you as the mother type..

"Hun, wake up.. Please" giving her a light shake to attempt to wake her up, light stirring evidence it was working. I can not handle this on my own, I'm not equipped for demigod stuff.

"Ugh Paul I had a crazy dream.. 2 girls came to the door claiming they were Percy's daughter" I simply stared at her with a knowing look.

"It wasn't a dream was it?" I shook my head, she was in shock for sure and frankly so was I.

"Afraid not Hun, they're over there" I pointed at the corner of the room where the two girls stood in an awkward silence, can't blame them to be honest.

[Sally's POV:]

After waking up, and re-orienting myself, I took in the features of my grandbabies. They reminded me so much of Percy that I had to resist the urge to cuddle them then and there while offering some blue cookies I store above the fridge. You never know when Percy might need one, plus Estelle adores em like her big bro. Anyway back to the grandbabies, well kids, the older one looks at least 9 maybe 10? And the younger one around half that, but Percy had only been gone 6 years, did he hide them from us? Is this why we've never seen him since? HOW DARE HE HIDE MY GRANDBABIES!

"So um, hello, m-my name is Aria Jackson and this is my little sister Coral Jackson." She spoke with such a cute voice that my maternal instincts took over and I hugged the cuteness right out of them. A few seconds later I released the confused grandbabies and spoke a little too fast.

"What are kids your age doing out in such bad weather?!? Where's your father? Is he ok? Are you eating well? Are you hungry now? Should I run a bath for you two?" Did I accept this a little too fast? Maybe but what can I say? Once a mama bear, always a mama bear. She took a second to process what I said, sensing there was a lot to say. I indicated towards the sofa for them to sit while subtly hinting (8 times!) to Paul to fetch some cookies of blue variation, any grandchild of mine will be a fan no doubt. He laid them on the coffee table.

Coral finally spoke with a more higher pitched cutie voice while Aria snacked- brutally murder the cookies in the meantime.

"Tou-cha.. I mean Dad is missing and and we thought we'd find you, Dad thought you left" she went silent leaving me with a crazy amount of jaw dropping questions, Percy is missing? He thought we'd left? What? Aria picked up from there.
