Jason
I love Piper. I love Piper a lot. Like a lot a lot! And I can't wait to become a father but ... can it please hurry up!
Im not saying Piper has turned into a devil woman but ... well she's turned into a devil woman. And hey she's currently growing not one,not two but THREE new humans in her stomach so yes she has every right to be a little ... devilish but it's been 8 months of terror.
Another down side to this pregnancy is that I haven't had a full night sleep in the past 4 months. It's either Piper waking me up because she can't sleep and doesn't think it's far that I should get to sleep soundly, she's in pain which of course I would stay awake to be with her or she's having food craving and wants me to go an buy her food.
Except it's never at a reasonable hour when any stores would actually be open. No she kicks me awake at 3am requesting popcorn with cheese ontop or pickles dipped in chocolate.
Gross I know!!!
So tonight wasn't much different.
3:03AM on the dot I was poked awake. Piper sat up in bed with about ten pillows propped up behind her. Her belly the size of the moon.
"Jason" she whispered while continuously poking me "Jason"
I blinked awake. "Mm?" I asked.
"I need food"
I flopped over to face her. "What like?"
"Mint ice cream" she said "with strawberry sauce ... and sprinkled and kiwi"
Mint ice cream and kiwi at this time of night. Where the hades would I find that!
But I shrugged on the closest pants I could find not even bothering to look at what they where and I grabbed a hoodie too.
I kissed Pipers head and stomach before making my way out.
The car wouldnt start. The damn car wouldn't start! I had to go on a quest at 3 in the morning to find mint choc chip ice cream and kiwi and the damn car woukdnt bloody start excellent!
I did the only thing I could think of. I flew. We were living in LA at the minute so hopefully nobody would be bothered by a blonde man flying threw the air.
I touched down in a back alley. There was a twenty four hour store I'd given quite a lot of money too in the last few months.
"J-Man!" Miguel cheered as I walked in, removing his headphones and grinning as is walked in. "So what is it tonight?"
"Mint choc chip ice cream with strawberry sauce, sprinkles and kiwi"
Miguel gave me a look that basicly translated too you poor thing.
"well I think we have a tub or two left of ice cream .. she will be eating it tonight right? Cause I'm pretty sure it'll be out of date in a few days"
"Yes she'll be eating it tonight. I spend afws looking for this stuff and it's fine within 5 minutes"
"My sister's where the same man, it'll be worth it when the little one pops out"
"Little three" I told him as I went to the back and just like he said there was a tub of mint choc chip, three days before expiring.
"Three?" His voice went up an octave or two.
"Ahum" I nodded.
"Woah man". He seemed truly shocked.
I just smiled at him "so sauce and sprinkles?"i knew they sold them it was just a question if whether or not they had any left.
"Got a new batch last night"
"You my friend are my hero!"
"Well the least I expect is that you name your child after me I mean you're gonna have enough of them"
"if it was up to me then yeah man but not sure how the misses would feel"
"How long you two been married anyways man?" He asked.
"Oh we're not married but we've been together since we were 16 so we're basically married by now" I said as I reached the counter "I know it's a long shot but .. kiwi".
He made a face at me "does this look like the place that sells kiwi man?"
"Thought it was worth asking". I fist bumped Miguel and said I'd see him tomorrow before going to find a place that sells kiwi at half 3 in the morning.
So after 15 minutes if searching (by air) I found nowhere open. I did however find a fruit shop but like i said it wasn't open. Well except for a window.
Was I really going to break the law for kiwi?
Well it was for Piper so apparently the answer was yes because I would do anything for her.
I put the bag from Miguels shop down on the floor. The icecream was most likely just cream now with chocolate chunks.
I kicked up off the floor and just floated there in the air on level with the window. It was one of those small rectangle windows which mean it would be a bit of a squeeze.
I summoned a small burst of lightning. At least it was meant to be small. Instead it shattered the whole window.
Yeah ... not good!
I was freaking out but either way I dived through the window.
An alarm started to blare.
I scanned the place and saw it across the room glittering like a winning prize. I sprinted and grabbed it.
I tossed a 50 dollar bill down on the side. I broke the window and stole a kiwi it was the least I could do.
And then I flew straight back out as fast as I could.
I touched back down on the floor,grabbed the bag and let out a sigh if relief.
Ok i was done. If done it and it was only 3:45.
Well at least I thought I was done. I turned around and came face to face with a giant.
Well a tiny giant. It was one of the ones Percy called Canadians, much too Frank's annoyance.
"What are you doing. You broke my window" the giant said and pointed to the shattered window.
" Right yeah. I'm really sorry. I er ... left money on the side"
The Canadian sniffed into the air. "You are half blood?"
"Wha-- I have no idea.."
"Yes you are half blood. You are half blood and you broke my window. I must kill you now".
"Look man it's nearly 4 in the morning. I'm exhausted and I have a pregnant girl back at home who needs this ice cream. If I get brutally murdered before giving this to her,she'll brutally murder you!"
I crossed my fingers and toes that he'd just let me go. Threats including a pregnant Piper looking for vengeance worked on a lot of people. Mainly Leo.
"Broke window. Stole kiwi. Must die"
"I left you a giant tip and everything! Please done make me kill you"
He didn't take that advice. He picked up a garbage can and threw it at my head. I diced out of the way. Kiwi still in hand. My only priority was to protect that kiwi with my life.
I pulled out my magic coin and flipped it. It changed into a spear. I aimed it at his head. It landed the bullseye.
I actually felt pretty bad about kiling this giant.
I didn't have time to dwell on it though because so got a text.
Jason! Food?
I picked up the bag and flew for my life. I got home in record time .... and she was fast asleep.
Right in the middle of the bad as if she was impersonating a star fish!
I swear this is why she sends me out. She thinks up the weirdest food combinations all so she can steal my side of the bed.
Oh well. She's worth it.
