Frank pov.
The scene started as Leo was a baby. A curly haired middle aged woman with tan skin and warm brown eyes (I made up how she looked btw) picked up a baby Leo and smiled. They were in a small apartment that had a living room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and 1 bedroom. She frowned as the phone rang in the peaceful silence.

"Ok so is anyone going to comment on how adorable baby Leo is?" Piper laughed.
I agreed, while I still am little wary around Leo, cause his fire powers and all, he is very  cute baby.
I remembered how Leo told me that his mom died. I frowned sadly at the woman on the screen.
Jason seemed to have the same thoughts I did. "Leo didn't your mom die?"
Piper elbowed him in the side causing Jason to grunt in pain.
"Sorry Leo."
Leo smiled although it was a little tight around the edges, "Um, yeah your right." He paused and then added, "Piper you are so right, I was an amazing baby. Or should I say an ama-zhang baby."
He wiggled his eyebrows up and down and grinned at me.
Everyone groaned at his pun.
"Don't make fun of Frank, Leo." Hazel shook her head at him in mock seriousness even though she was smiling.
"Betrayal." I gasped teasingly. I wondered about Leo's change of the subject, but I decided not to bring it up.
She just smiled at me and squeezed my arm innocently.
"I dunno," Percy grinned, "I think it was an owl-fully good joke."
Annabeth shook her head exasperated, "Can we just get back to the memories."
I saw Piper and Jason hiding smiles.
"Dolphinly Annabeth." Leo smirked mischievously.
She just groaned as everyone laughed then went back to the screen.

The woman (I forgot her name and I don't feel like looking it up. Was it esperanza?) picked up the phone in what looked like dread. "Hello," she said.
"Uh huh."
"Yes ma'am."
"Wait- no ma'am, I mean.."
She seemed defeated.
"Yes ma'am I will be there in five minutes to open up and take a look."
She put down the phone and sighed, "Well Leo, it looks like I need a baby sitter for you."
As soon as she said that the doorbell rang.
She paused and looked uncertain then strode over to the door.

"Uh oh"
"Shut up seaweed brain."
"Shuting up."

The door opened to a woman with dark clothes and a widows dress. She had a strange aura that even through the memory the demigods picked it up. The memory didn't show her face.
"I would be delighted to watch the child."
Leo's mom looked almost scared as she slowly opened the door more so the woman could get through. It was like she knew she didn't have a choice. The memory panned up to the woman's face. Proud, regal and beautiful.

"HERA BABYSITTED YOU!!" Annabeth roared her face twisted in disgust as percy tried to calm her down.
Everyone else looked shocked and a little concerned that Leo grew up with her.
Annabeth finally calmed down although she was muttering under breath, something  about a cow?
Leo looked embarrassed. I didn't blame him, growing up with hera would be weird. Although I have only met the Greek gods a couple times, based on what I know about hera, she seems pretty extreme.
I was a little jealous that Leo had a god interested in him while Mars was content to ignore me. I pushed it back because I knew what would happen later.
They turned back to the screen, knowing that something weird is going to happen.
