   That plays off the theory that perhaps Percy was told endlessly 
that if he didn't behave, if he didn't follow the rules, if he didn't 
follow all the rules, then one of his little siblings would die. And 
so would 'mummy' and himself. Pretty scary stuff for a five-year old. 

   And with that huge age-gap between him and Charlie, there's a 
definite possibility for a kid in there. And it would make sense. Why 
else would the have Bill, then Charlie, and then suddenly no kids for 
nine years before Percy?

   There's a fic written by A'jes' Blue that deals with that 
possibility.
