The First Times

First Meeting Demigods - Holidays Part 1

After the overwhelmed that was the first meeting with Reyna and Dylan, both Nico and Will decided that Thanksgiving should be celebrated with the fewest people as possible. Which reduced the invitation list to simply Will's Mom, Naomi. She had not even one complain, as she wasn't sure what would happen if Apollo stuck his nose this time.

Christmas, however, was an entire different matter.

"Nico! We got mail!" Will announced, once he started to check the arriving mail. Ana was at school and Nico was just got out the shower. Curious as why they would get mail rather than Iris Messages, Nico walked out their room and saw Will holding a letter as if he was waiting for something to happen.

"Think is a bomb letter?" Nico chuckled, before the letter landed on his face. Obviously, Will had tossed it at him. Grabbing it, Nico recognized the messy handwriting that was written in the outside of the envelope and opened it, more curious than ever, only to find three invitations inside.

You're cordially invited to our Christmas' Celebration.
When? Obviously, December 24th and December 25th.
(In case of not being able to come both days, please inform so).
Where? The Jackson-Chase household.

The Jackson-Chase family.

PS, Will you can bring your Mom, if you want. The extra invitation is for her.

The last bit was added with Percy's messy handwriting, while the invitations were written by Annabeth's impressive calligraphy. Both grown ups shared a glance and Will shrugged. This demanded a call to Percy and Annabeth to know exactly who was invited. They didn't want to expose Ana to lots of people at the same time.

So, when Ana came back from school with Nico, she was very surprised to see Will there, as she knew he had practice at that time.

"Dad? What are you doing here?" Ana wondered, walking to him, Nico behind her. Will smiled and patted the couch next to him. Both her and Nico sat down to talk. "Did something happen? Did I do something...?" She asked, a little scared of it. Will put her fears at ease by hugging her.

"Principessa, we have something we would like to ask you?" Will started, looking at her. Curious, Ana listened. "Papà and I got an invitation of a Christmas celebration and we were wondering if you wanted to come with us-"

"Is Aunt Reyna and Uncle Dylan gonna be there?" She cut Will, hopeful, and Nico hated to burst her bubble.

"Not for Christmas, Principessa, but they will for New Years... Still have to adapt to three babies..." Nico explained. Ana pouted and looked down, as she wanted to see them and play with the triplets. "But, you get to meet my cousins, if you want to go..." Ana looked up, curious.

"Uncle Percy? And Aunt Thalia?" She named and Will nodded.

"Probably Aunt Hazel and Uncle Jason too... with their couples and babies, of course... Now that I think about it, that apartment is gonna be really crowded." Will pointed out, missing the point for a second. Nico rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers on his face as a 'call to Earth' signal, which made Ana laugh. "Anyway, you're up to?"

"Grandma Naomi is invited too." Ana didn't have to think it twice. If Grandma Naomi was there, it didn't matter if she was bored or not, she could spend time with her if she didn't like those people.

The time between the invitation's sending and the party felt like short for everyone. With both Will and Nico doing practices and residencies, and Ana being taken around for Christmas' present shopping, the days felt normal, until the night of the party. Dad and Papà told her that she could go dressed up the way she wanted, so she picked some jeans and a shirt, her favorite warm jacket and her Mom's necklace around her.

With everything and everyone loaded in the car, Ana decided to distract herself watching the snow fall from the window. It was going to be her first snowed Christmas with her new family and she was enjoying it very much, it didn't matter if she was going to meet lots of people. Will took care of her, while Nico took care of the presents. Grandma Naomi was in charge of ringing the bell.

"Will! Nico! Welcome everyone!" A woman with blonde curly hair opened the door and hugged Will tight. Ana assumed, by the tales and stories she was told, that must be Aunt Annabeth. "Come in, come in!"

"Oncle Nico!" Ana saw a baby running their way and attached himself onto her Papà's legs, while looking up. "Pwesents!" That alone made everyone chuckle and the blonde woman frowned.

"Now, Luke. Not all presents are for you, got it?" The baby, obviously named Luke, smiled at who Ana assumed it was his mother and rushed around the house screaming 'Dadda!'. "Sorry about that, but he's more like Percy in certain areas..." She apologized, before kneeling down at Ana's height, who held Dad's jeans tight. "And you must be Ana, right?"

"You're Aunt Annabeth?" Ana tilted her head, earning a nod. "I know lots about you!" Annabeth raised her eyebrows, surprised by that fact. "Daddy says I'm really really intelligent like you, and Papà says you're really really god at making Uncle Percy behave-"

"Hey! I resent that!" A male voice butted in, making Ana squeak in surprise and hide behind Will. The man who was talking had black hair and beard and was smiling playfully. "DeathBreath, what have you been telling your daughter about me?" Nico smirked and stroked Ana's hair.

"I'll never tell, KelpHead." Nico fought back, making Will chuckle and Annabeth smack the back of Percy's head.

"Ouch! WiseGirl!"

"You will behave if you want your blue cheesecake for dessert." Percy immediately put a puppy look, looking for forgiveness, but Ana had to say something.

"But, Aunt Annabeth! Blue food is yucky!"

"DeathBreath, you corrupted my niece!"

Good morning/afternoon/night, my fellow readers!

First of all, I want to say, from this side of the world... Happy Mother's Day! Yeah, I know we don't celebrate in March, like most of you- I honestly don't know why in October, but must be a commercial thing -but I want to wish all the mothers out there a nice day!

To celebrate it, let's see the updates of today!

Also, I'd like to say that I'm working already in my Christmas' stories and I'd welcome any stories I haven't done. If I did, I'd let you know!
