I own nothing.. though I wish i did...

August 18th 1993 was a date to remember. Why? Well that was the night Sally Jackson gave birth. You see, the Gods are still alive. You heard right, they're alive! But it's a complicated thing. Back in the ancient times there was such a thing as the Ancient Laws, preventing gods and goddesses to interact with mortals and their children. After a few thousand years of this law, it was reconsidered. The gods noticed a shift in their children and the mortals. So as a result the Ancient Law was no more.

Then WW2 came. Basically the children of Zeus and Poseidon were on one side, and the children of Hades were on the other. When Zeus and Poseidon's kids won the war, they forced Hades to make an oath on the River Styx. They agreed to never sire any more children. They were just too powerful.

You need to know that when an oath on the River Styx is made it is a binding oath. Once made it should never be broken. Why? Because if broken then the oath breaker shall be punished. But if a god were to break it, then the punishment will go to their child or people/mortals or gods closest to them.

So of course the oath is broken. Zeus fell 'in love' with this actress and they had an affair. Lets just say that Hera was not happy. That's how Thalia came into this world. Poseidon actually did fall in love with Sally. They had met at Montauk beach. That gets us to where we are now, at a hospital in New York.

The 12 Olympians were there, plus Hades and Hestia. Poseidon was with Sally in the delivery room. Apollo had jumped at the chance to help with the birth, by being the doctor. Though the tension in the air was thick, the gods and goddesses were excited. Even Amphitrite and Triton were somewhat excited. Finally after hours of Sally being in labor, Perseus Jackson was born. The nurse cleaned him off and handed him to his parents.

The gods and goddesses started to come into the room, and Zeus even had Thalia that day. He got her every so often. When they were all settled into the room, Apollo came in fhe he had to do some paperwork regarding Perseus's birth.

"He is in the healthiest condition possible. Even considering the oath," Apollo told Sally and Poseidon. Sally smiled down at her son, and Poseidon was relieved that his son was not being harmed by the oath yet.

"That's good, that's good," he said mostly to himself.

Though the gods had to agree. They did not want to see the effect of the oath on anyone, mortal or not.

"How long does Sally have to stay here, Apollo?," Asked Poseidon as Sally continued to play with Percy as he had now opened his eyes. They were a startling sea green, and he had a tuft of raven black hair that Poseidon knew was never going to tame. It's a good thing Aphrodite hasn't seen him in the full yet, or else Sally might not get him back. As Poseidon and Sally looked at their son, Percy laughed pulling on his others hair. Poseidon smiled at his son's antics.

"I would say in about three days. That way Sally can heal, and Perseus can be checked on every so often to make sure he's alright," Apollo said.

Poseidon addressed Zeus, "Brother, I am going to need the next few days off.

"That is fine, as long as you don't neglect your duties that is," As Zeus answered Thalia jumped off his lap, and slowly made her way to Sally's bedside. She was halfway across the the room before Sally noticed her, and motioned for her to come closer. Thalia looked at Sally warily, as she had never seen Sally before today. Finally she decided Sally was safe. When Thalia reached the bedside Sally lowered Percy a little so she could see better, as she was on her tiptoes, arms on the bed and head with wide electric blue eyes trying to see over the side of plastic on the bed.

Thalia looked at Percy with curiosity, and he her. Electric blue on sea green, both studying the other. Thalia made the first move and poked Percy on the cheek, a little spark, like a shock you get from and blanket or carpet, came off her finger and onto Percy's cheek. His eyes widened comically, as did Thalia's because she realized that she had shock the new born baby. Then Percy started to laugh as he got over the new sensation. Thalia started to laugh as well, seeing as she didn't hurt her new cousin.

Sally chuckled softly. The gods and goddesses did too, see the little show of them meeting for the first time play out. Zeus knew that Thalia would have to start training soon if she was to control her powers.

Just then a nurse who was as pale as death and had straight black hair and ice blue eyes that felt like the could freeze you came in, "I'm sorry to disturb you all, but visiting hours are over." She gave a smile that looked genuine, but Thalia could feel the coldness and fakeness even though she was a few feet from her. Percy stopped laughing, as if he could feel something off about the nurse.

She stood standing in the doorway as everyone left. Thalia said a quick goodbye to Percy as her father took her hand in his and said his goodbyes and congratulations to Poseidon and Sally. As did the other gods and goddesses.

Perseus let out a yawn. His parents smiled at him. Poseidon checked the clock on the wall to see that it was a little passed 9:30. He looked down again to see Percy slowly drift off to sleep. But before he was fully asleep Poseidon kissed his son's temple and smiled at him. Then kissed Sally's temple, as they watched their newborn son fall into a deep sleep. Percy felt as if he was being wrapped in a warm blanket as his father smiled at him, and he watched as the world slowly turned dark. When Percy was completely asleep Poseidon picked him up from Sally's arms, and laid him gently in the crib like box provided for them.

"This was an eventful day," Sally said. Poseidon chuckled lightly, and looked at Sally.

"Indeed it has," he replied. "I think it's time we got some sleep don't you? I'll be taking this lovely little couch, while you get the nice bed," he said teasingly.

Sally laughed as he bent down and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. He walked over to the couch and sat down. A blanket suddenly appeared in his hands. After he got comfortable, Sally turned the lamp light out.

"Good night my Queen," Poseidon said to Sally, using the title he gave her whenever he first saw her. "And to you my Little Sea Prince."

"Good night Poseidon, you as well my son," Sally said. Soon the family was fast asleep.

Little did they know that the nurse from before, the one who told them that visiting hours was over, was waiting in the shadows for them to sleep. Once she was certain that they would not wake up, she moved from her spot in between the door and the corner. Her heels made little clicking noises as she walked to the sleeping baby. As she picked him up he started to stir, making little noises of disgust.

"Sshhh. It's going to be okay, little son of the sea," she said in a soothing voice. As she walked out of the room and to the basement of the hospital, she kept him sleeping. No one stopped her as she walked to the elevators and went to the basement. When she stepped out her feet were slightly off balance. The nurse was no longer a nurse. Her skin still deathly pale, her black hair now up in flames. One leg a donkeys and another a Celestial bronze. Her fangs, though tiny, now showed as she transformed into her true form of an empousa. Percy had woken up from the trip down the elevator, but he was unusually quiet for a he knew something was not right. As the empousa continued to walk to the back of the basement he looked around frantically, then he started to cry when he didn't see his mother or father.

The empousa looked down that the child in her hands. She could kill him, but if she did then she would have to face the whole of Tartarus. She shivered just thinking about it. As she neared the very back of the basement, where there was no light, did she begin to slow her walk. The shadows started to gather and form into stairs that led straight down to Tartarus. As she began to descend she heard the scream of a mother who had just found out her child was stolen, as the seas raged for the loss of its prince. The sky's looked no better as the news hit Olympus. The empousa just smiled as the gateway to the stairs closed. But she knew that when the news was released out to the camps, and the Underworld, all Hades would break loose.

Thanks for reading. I would really like some feedback, just not flames. -C
