AMPHITRITE POV

I was tending the gardens when I felt the arrival of Triton in the throne room and there are other two presences with him. I would have left it then and there if not for the familiar aura I felt. It is the aura I grieved for many years and will grieve for many more. No this can't be...I already started rushing to the Throne Room when I felt Triton's voice inside my head.

Mother. Father. I need you both in the throne room immediately. It's urgent.

And that has me swimming faster than before. I curse Poseidon for a moment. Why did he construct the throne room so far away from gardens? At last! I think as I burst through the door and rush in.

"Triton!! I felt his presence... " I stop short, my throat suddenly dry at what I see. I felt my vision go blurry as tears gather in my eyes. My heart beathing loud as hope rises in my chest. I shake my head as I scramble backwards in shock and disbelief. No... This can't be... Please, don't let this be a dream.

"Triton what is this. This.. I.. " I stutter and I felt Poseidon presence before I heard him.

"What is happeni.. Sally!!?? " Poseidon stops short just as I have and his eyes bulge in shock. It was then I see the presence of a woman. How does Poseidon know of her?

"Triton what's happ... Noo... " Poseidon rounds on Triton before trailing of seeing the child in his arms.

"No..no..no... That's not possible.. I must be dreaming. " He whispere in shock and looks at me frantically.

"Amphitrite, what's happening? "

But our attention snaps back to the child as he stirs awake.

"Mommy" He blinks blearily. The woman Sally, goes and takes the child to her arms.

"Yes baby? It's time to wake up. You have people to meet. "

"People? " The child perks up and stares in awe at his surroundings.

"Mommy! Mommy! Look! We're in the sea, mom! We are in the sea!! "

"Yes dear. Come on now. They are waiting for us." She gestures towards us and walks towards us all the while her eyes rest on Poseidon. I felt my gut twist at the sight.

"Poseidon. It's good to see you again." She whispers softly.

"Wh.. What.. Sally.. The child?" Poseidon stutters confused and bewildered.

"Meet our son Perseus. Percy, he is Poseidon, your father." Sally says and I freeze. Poseidon had an affair? Even with the oath? But that us not what made my blood boil. How dare they name their child after mine!?

"Perseus?" Poseidon and my voice come out at the same time though mine was frigid cold compared to the shocked tone of Poseidon. I glare at Poseidon.

"You should be ashamed Poseidon. For naming one of your bastard that name." I spat at him in disgust my fury overloading.

"It is I who named him milady. Poseidon doesn't even know of the gender of the child when he left. I was the one named him after your child." I see red at her comment. How dare Poseidon reveal her of my child!? But my fury evaporated at his shocked and confused look.

"How do you know I have a son named Perseus?" Poseidon looks so confused and I felt my thoughts whirl. Then how? How does she know? I see the mortal and Triton exchange a glance before Triton clears his throat nodding.

"Percy come on. I am sure you are eager to see some fish." Triton says smiling.

"Okay sa'ebu!! " Percy exclaims before frowning. "What was that?" He asks confusedly.

"What is what sea star?" Triton asks worriedly.

"Why do I keep calling you sa'ebu? And why do I feel that I should call them pat're and pat'mi?" He says pointing at Poseidon and me. And if the shock I felt at seeing the child calling Triton sa'ebu and Triton calling him sea star is something, it is nothing compared to the shock I felt at hearing him call us pat'mi and pat're. I felt my eyes prickle at the flow of memories hearing those words brought. Of my dear child. My Perseus.

Triton huffs out a watery chuckle as he ruffles Percy's hair fondly "I will explain it to you after we go see the fish. And maybe I will allow you to meet the dolphins too" He says carrying Percy from the room and last we heard is Percy's exclamation at meeting dolphins.

I stumble to my throne and sit on it, my head spinning. I felt Poseidon sit beside me on his throne and I clutch his hand hoping to get some reassurances but instead he himself looks like he need reassurance.

"What is happening here milord" I ask my voice faint.

"That is something even I would like to know my queen." He whispers shakily before looking at Sally.

"Sally...love... What.. How? " He adks and she smiles softly with a hint of sadness.

"I regret not taking on your offer that day Poseidon. If I had I would have explained long ago that our child is the reincarnation of you son. But the morai forbade me in saying it." And I stiffle back a gasp at that.

"That child..he's my son?" I ask my eyes tearing up as hope rises in my heart and she nods smiling softly.

"Tell us everything Sally" Poseidon asks roughly but there is no mistaking the hope in his voice. And Sally explains everything. How the morai visited her. How she kept him a secret. How she took care of him. How she met Triton. After hearing everything I stand up from my throne and reach her and without any hesitation I hug her tightly. I felt her stffen in shock before relaxing and hugging me back.

"Thankyou..thank you..for everything you have done. I am very glad you're here. And Triton is right. You deserve happiness now. A life with Percy without any burdens. Welcome to the family. " I hesitate before saying ".. Sister" She gasps and I move away fearing I have stepped out of the line.

"I'm sorry!" I exclaim. "I shouldn't have called you that. It was out of line" I apologize but she shakes her head.

"No no it's fine Lady Amphitrite. I was surprised is all. I was very afraid you would take away Percy from me when you learn of his identity. But seeing you welcoming me so openly had me startled. And thank you for welcoming me into the family, sister" She says smiling wide and I beam at her. We both look back at Poseidon to see him looking at us shell-shocked.

"Oh don't look so shocked Poseidon. It's unfitting for a king. Now go shoo. Make the arrangements needed to announce the people that their beloved Prince is back." I say and take Sally's arm and drag her out of the throne room.
