Heroes of Olympus Children

6 years-old

A/N: Hey everybody :) So this is a bit forward in time when majority of the kids are six years-old. The picture for this chapter is the den from Piper and Jason's house.

Inara giggled as Alexander let the flame dance around his palm. Like their father Alex had the special ability to control fire without it hurting. The families were at Piper and Jason's for a Friday night BBQ, so the kids were in the den, away from the adults, so Alex could show them his cool trick.

Of course it was risky, that's way Isobell was watching the door to the den and would tell them if a parent was coming to check up on them or tell them that dinner was ready.

"That's so cool." Lily laughed as she reached out to touch the flame.

"Don't." Alex says yanking his hand back. "I don't know if it'll hurt you guys or not."

"Come on Lily." Jake laughs tugging on her brown ponytail.

"Ow." she pushed him and he fell on top of Trenton, who had been playing with some Lego's with Angel.

"Hey!" Trenton said. "You knocked over my house."

"Whoops." Jake said looking at the pieces surrounding the base of the house. "Sorry."

"No you're not!"

Trenton pushed Jake who pulled him down and the two started wrestling and Angel put Inara in her lap.

"Dog pile." Lily shouted jumping on top of the two boys.

Alex laughed and joined in. The four continued for a couple minutes while Angel played patty-cake with Inara and Isobell kept looking for parents. After a few more minutes when Lily bit Jake on his arm.

"Ow!" Jake said looking at the bite mark on his arm when Piper came down the hall to check on the kids.

"Abort! Abort!" Isobell said running and sitting on the couch.

"What's going on in here?" Piper asked stopping in the doorway to see Trenton, Alex, and Jake staring at Jake's arm, while Isobell and Lily sat on the couch staring at Angel and Inara.

"Lily bit me." Jake said pouting.

"Lilly did what?" Annabeth asked entering the room with Hazel and Nico behind her.

"What happened?" Nico asked looking at the bite mark.

"We were playing and Jake pulled my ponytail." Lilly started.

"Then she pushed him and he fell on top of Trenton, ruining his Lego house so they got into a wrestling fight." Alex supplied staring at the ground.

"Then Lily and Alex joined in and Lily bit Jake." Trenton finished.

"Lily what did we say about biting people?" Annabeth asked looking at her daughter.

"To not to."

"Exactly." Annabeth said. "So why would you do it?"

"He pulled my hair!" Lilly shouted.

"Let clean it up and put a band-aid on so it doesn't get infected." Nico sighed taking Jake to the kitchen.

"Gross." Angel said making a face.

"When Nico's done putting the band-aid on I want you to go and apologize for bitting your cousin." Annabeth said, a bit more calmly.

"Yes Mommy." Lily said.

The moms left the room and the kids turned to look at Alex who was staring at the ground.

"No more playing with fire." He said.
