Soooooooooo…. You guys requested this, so here ya go!
On a more serious note though, I may actually stop writing these one-shots. I've had a few friends say that my work is "stupid" and "disgusting". If people actually don't like this, then I'll stop. I'll leave it up to you guys. I'll let you vote. Leave a review saying either "yes" or "no". If more people vote "yes", I'll continue, if more people vote, "no", I'll stop.
Anyways though, enjoy possibly the last chapter in this collection!
Sally sat alone in the cabin in Montauk.
She stared down at the infant in her arms. He had his father's sea green eyes, the ones that, even at a young age, had the ability to mesmerize anyone. He was a cute, helpless little thing. As helpless as he was, anyone that saw him could just sense that he would do something great in his lifetime. He was truly an amazing baby.
Sally was so transfixed on the baby, that she didn't notice the man that had suddenly appeared in front of her. Until he cleared his throat.
Sally looked up quickly, surprised. The person she had least expected to see ever again, was here. Poseidon. God of the sea. And horses. And earthquakes. The list goes on for awhile.
"Poseidon? I thought you said you wouldn't be able to see me anymore." Sally said, slight anger creeping into her voice.
"I wanted to see you, one last time." Poseidon answered softly. He sat beside her on the sofa that was in the cabin.
Sally sighed, all angry feelings she may have felt toward the god quickly leaking away.
"He looks like you." She said, gently running her hand across the baby's cheek. "I hope that is an indication that he'll be strong."
Poseidon smiled, "Oh, he'll be strong, alright. But not because of me, but because he had the greatest woman alive to take care of him.
Sally blushed at his comment. She gently rocked the sleeping infant in her arms, before speaking to Poseidon again.
"So, this is the last time we'll see each other?" She asked the question. The one she dreaded the answer to.
Poseidon nodded, "I'm afraid so. If I could have my way, I would stay with you. But I can't, not with the pact. Zeus would be angry with me."
"Yes. I understand." Sally said sadly, gently putting the sleeping baby into a crib. "I just wish there was a way around this."
She sat back down next to Poseidon, resting her head on his chest.
"So do I." Poseidon said, before standing up, much to Sally's dismay. "I have to leave now. If I can… I'll try to visit you."
Sally nodded sadly, sighing.
Poseidon planted a kiss on her forehead, before stepping toward the door. He paused in the doorway. "Have you found a name for him yet?"
Sally smiled at this, "Yes. I have named him Perseus."
Although Sally could only see Poseidon's back, she knew he was smiling as well.
"A good name. It suits him." Poseidon responded, stepping outside, then vanishing into mist.
Sally watched him go, a deep sadness felt in every part of her, as she saw the first person to truly capture her heart, leave. Forever.
Short chapter. Sorry about that.
