I'd like to give out a shout out to allieapollo whose insight really helped me see the points in the last chapter that wasn't that well written or easily understood. Hopefully this chapter won't be too confusing.
Seriously, thank you.

Dear Poseidon
Sally Jackson has always loved Poseidon. Even when they parted, even when she gave birth to Percy, even when she married Gabe. She's never lost touch of Poseidon, either. Read her letters to the sea god about life, work, Percy, and her love.
Chapter Two
Two weeks later, Sally Jackson found herself at a clinic she regularly attended whenever she felt any physical pain. Dr. Forearm was writing down onto a clipboard, filling in information Sally had reported to her.
Sally looked around the room. She really didn't know what it was that had caused her to pass out two weeks earlier. All she remembered from that day was waking up with a splitting headache, for some reason. She told an older woman at her workplace about it for advice, but all she got in return was a coupon to a lousy restaurant named "Aunty M's Garden Emporium". Luckily, since she wasn't dyslexic and could see through the Mist, Sally left the place just as fast as she had arrived. She didn't bother wondering how her coworker could have a coupon to a death hole; the place alone was creep already.
"Mmhm…" Dr. Forearm muttered, her brow wrinkled in concentration. She seemed heavy in thought. Sally felt really uneasy at this point. She waited five painful minutes before Dr. Forearm's frail head snapped up, and startling vibrant violet eyes met hers. In fact, Sally has never seen Dr. Forearm's eyes before. For some reason, it's a bit hard to see her eyes- oh. The Mist.
Wait, Dr. Forearm? Wasn't her specialist Dr. Ag or something? Since when did the clinic have a person by the name of Dr. Forearm? Why didn't Sally realize this earlier?
"Um… Dr. Forearm?" Sally said slowly. Now that she realized it, Dr. Forearm seemed really… out of place. Not in tune with the clinic's standard neutral color scheme. Dr. Forearm donned bright, flashing colors, colors that hurt Sally's eyes when she looked at them.
"Hm? Oh, yes, dear Sally Jackson. Right. Sorry sweetie, I must have forgotten." Dr. Forearm continued mumbling some other words under her breath. Sally strained her ears, but could hear nothing.
Then, as if someone- or something- invisible had whacked her on the head, Dr. Forearm straightened up. "Sorry. Let's me see… and you say you've been experiencing-"
"Yes," Sally said, exasperated. Dr. Forearm has already asked her this what… three times already?
"Then then most plausible explanation I can extract is, my dear, that you're pregnant."
Sally couldn't move, couldn't breathe.
"P-Pregnant?" she stuttered, her eyes wide with shock. "How- what-"
Dr. Forearm took off her large, round glasses and stared at Sally Jackson with a gaze so intense Sally felt a tremendous urge to look away, but something inside her told her she should defiantly stare back.
"Hear me, Sally Jackson, whom will bear the son of Poseidon," Dr. Forearm spoke quietly. "My name, Forearm, is a warning to you, that in which you should take great notice of. This child of yours, this son of the Big Three, will not live a pure and happy life. You have taken a far too great risk, and if not responsible enough, your child will die before his sixteenth birthday. Mark my words, Sally Jackson; you have sealed your son's fate."
O_o... haha jk :)
