This is set in Poseidon's Point of View. This goes along with my previous story of Living with Complications. It can stand as it's own as well.

Poseidon is 36 in this story.

Poseidon groggily rubbed his eyes as he waited for the coffee to brew. It's a beautiful Friday morning - scratch that, a beautiful Friday afternoon. He took a second glance at the clock on the microwave. 2:13 P.M.

Usually he doesn't sleep in, but his job has him overworked and exhausted. He only has today off since he picks up his son from the airport. Even though he's the founder of Olympion Rescue Aquarium, he doesn't get the luxury to relax and rank in the dough. Although he admit he is loaded, he still doesn't get to sit back and relax.

He is the lead rescuer of marine animals along the east coast. Meaning he travels state to state and assists with saving sea critters - usually trapped in stupid fishing nets or in negligent plastic tossed into the Atlantic. Most of the time he frees them and they're safe to continue their merry life in the sea. In other cases when they're not so fortunate and require medical attention, they air travel them into his aquarium while his trained veterinarian Delphin operates on them. Then they remain in his aquarium until they're healthy enough to be released back into the sea.

There's been a drastic amount of emergency calls in the past week as more and more plastic and garbage are tossed into the sea, making life near impossible for these critters to live in. He runs a hand down his face in frustration just thinking about it.

The only plus side about this, is that for the past week he was able to bring along his eldest son Triton to help. He's training him to help in these rescue missions and one day lead them. Triton just finished his junior year of high school over a week ago, hence why Poseidon was able to him along. And Poseidon will be able to bring his youngest son Percy along next week after he picks him up from the airport today.

Triton and Percy aren't full-siblings, they're half-siblings. Poseidon had Triton with his current wife Amphitrite when he was eighteen. He broke off their relationship with Amphitrite within three months of their son being born. He then moved to San Francisco for college and met Percy's mother Sally at college. Two years later Poseidon proposed after he heard she was pregnant.

That is when shit hit the fan for his side of the family. His father was never pleased with him to begin with, he didn't think he was pleased with any of his other siblings either. Kronos grew furious that he ended up with a girl like Sally. Sally is one of the nicest and most generous person Poseidon has ever met, a true queen among the people. His father didn't care about her personality, he only cared about her financial state. He didn't want her to "ruin" the family image. Poseidon cut him out of his life shortly afterwards his youngest was born.

It was supposed to be a happy moment, but that moment was tarnished by anxiety and concern as his father found another way to contact him. Poseidon still hasn't figured out how he did it, but Kronos sent threats through mail. They contacted the police but they were no help. The letters kept becoming more and more persistent, Poseidon kept pushing their marriage back, hoping the threats would cease. It never did. He decided it was best that they would split for the safety of their son. Poseidon left California when Percy was three. That's when he started getting custody of Percy over the summer, then he would be with his mother for the rest of the year.

After Poseidon moved back into New York, he shared custody of Triton with Amphitrite. She began flirting with him again, and then one thing lead to another. He ended up marrying her four years after he moved back. Triton was nine and Percy was seven as they tied the knot. The rest is history...

If only Amphitrite and Triton could get along with Percy. Things were rough when the yearly tradition with Percy living with them in the beginning.

Amphitrite would blatantly insult Percy in front of Poseidon and gave Percy all the chores, Poseidon quickly shot that down. She seemed to get along better with his son throughout the years, but he's beginning to suspect that she is putting a facade in front of him, and treating Percy different when he isn't around.

Triton isn't that much better around him. When they were younger Triton would purposely break his toys or steal them. Poseidon convinced myself that is normal behavior since his older brother Hades did the same to him, and he recalled doing the same to his younger brother Zeus. It got to a point that Poseidon had to severely punish Triton after he found him beating Percy up when Triton was thirteen and Percy was eleven. After that Triton just ignores Percy, and Poseidon put up with it since at least they're not hurting each other physically anymore.

Poseidon leaned his head back sipping the hot coffee, enjoying the quiet bliss of the house. Amphitrite is at work, she works for a health insurance company. Triton is at the aquarium, He employed him their a year ago. Nerus is running the aquarium today, he is the second-in-command there, he is a stinky old fisherman, but he does a great job with rescuing, so Poseidon doesn't complain about him, well not around him at least he doesn't.

Poseidon glanced back at the clock, finding it only has been five minutes past since he last looked at it. He sighed, he doesn't have to pick Percy from the airport until four, and that isn't for another two hours.

Poseidon almost finished his cup of coffee when his cellphone rings. He looked at the screen, seeing it was a unknown number he groaned. If he doesn't recognize a number, it's most likely a call for a rescue. Poseidon made sure Nerus would get all the calls today, but he guessed one call slipped pass him, and the person ended up calling Poseidon instead. He braced himself for an angry complaint for why the rescue wasn't being answered.

Poseidon answered the phone with a polite, "This is Poseidon. How may I help you?

"Is this Poseidon Olympion?" A man's voice spoke on the phone.

Poseidon rolled his eyes at the question. How many Poseidon's can there be? "Yes, this is him. How can I help you?" He repeated.

"Are you the father of Perseus Jackson?"

That question caught him off guard. "Yes I am. I'm sorry but whom am I speaking to?"

What the caller responded with, is what every parent dreads to hear. "I'm police officer Lee with the San Francisco police, your son Perseus Jackson has been involved in a serious car accident. You need to get to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital immediately."
