A/N This will be a whole bunch of one-shots about Triton's life growing up in Atlantis. Most of the chapters will be longer than this, just think of this as a filler. If you want you can send in prompts for this story and I will do them, as long as they don't include: slash or mpreg.

I swam through the halls of my palace in Atlantis as fast as I could, I needed to get to my wife, now! Just as I reached the door to the room that my wife, Amphitrite, was behind I heard a long drawn out scream of pain, followed by a crying sound. Knowing I couldn't go in the room, god or not, I waited outside for one of the few "doctors" in Atlantis to come out of the room. We hadn't even heard of doctors till a year ago when Apollo said it was a mortal thing from the future that would help out a lot and had trained some people to be "doctors". Hearing the door open I spun around to look at the "doctor".
"Congratulations, it's a boy. And your wife is perfectly alright, albeit a little tired." I was sure that my smile grew a hundred times brighter and bigger at the news.
"Can I go in?" I asked patiently, for once; patience wasn't one of the traits I prided myself in.
"Of course." the doctor stepped aside, allowing me to swim inside.
As I went in I couldn't help the fact that my smile grew even bigger at the sight. My wife was lying in the bed holding a little bundle in a blue, fish decorated blanket. Looking up my wife smiled at me while putting her finger to her lips, indicating that I had to be quiet. I nodded to let her know I understood before swimming over and sitting next to her. Looking into the blanket I saw that our son had gained his mother's skin color, green; while he had the same facial features I had. I was sure that my eyes sparkled looking at the precious bundle in my wife's arms. He looked like a little cherub with green skin.
Leaning against me my wife asked, "What do you want to name him?"
We had gone over names a lot over the past couple weeks so I knew my answer instantly, "Triton."
"I like it," my wife then yawned, covering her mouth with one hand.
Noticing the bags under her eyes I decided to let her take a break, "Why don't you give us our son and you get some rest?"
Amphitrite smiled gratefully and handed over our child, "Don't you dare drop him, I did not just go through twenty hours of labor for nothing."
"Of course I won't drop him!" I laughed before swimming out of the room and towards Triton's nursery.
Reaching the room I swam into it. Considering this was the first of my children that I would ever keep with me, I thought we had done pretty well on the room. The walls were blue with different sea creatures painted on them, enchanted so that they would move around the walls, courtesy of Hecate. The floor was covered in a rug that looked like seaweed with sea shells mixed into that would not harm Triton. In the middle of the room was a crib that was a mix of purple, blue, and green as well as decorated with different shells. Above it was what Apollo called a "mobile", hanging of the arms of it was a dolphin, hippocampi, horse, sword fish, and shark. Apparently you were to spin it and it would help put the child to sleep. In the corner of the room was a rocking chair, and then there were some containers in another corner where the other things we had for Triton were. In the left hand corner there was a giant stack of stuffed animals, mostly sea creatures, but also consisting of a peacock, dove, snake, eagle, and owl(the extra ones being gifts from the gods). All in all I thought the room was pretty good, not only did it look nice but it was also child protected. Swimming over I placed myself in the rocking chair. Looking down I was shocked to see Triton's eyes open and looking at me. His eyes were just like mine, sea green with a sparkle in them.
"Someone seems happy," I ran a finger across his small cheek only to have small fingers latch onto it and a smile to appear on Triton's face, "Very happy," My son just continued to smile up at me, "Well, someone should probably be getting to sleep."
I began to rock the chair, smiling when my son let out a big yawn, his eyes already starting to flutter shut. Within five minutes Triton was fast asleep, his fingers loosely holding onto my finger. Standing up I swam over to the crib and laid Triton down in it, pulling the blankets up to his chin. My smile only grew bigger when I saw the child snuggling deeper into the blankets.
Leaning down I whispered, "Welcome to the family, Triton."
