The baby

Percy's POV

"It's time." Kronos said when I woke up. Giving me a small smile. I am the one who has to deliver the child but with Kronos looking so worried, you would think he was the one.

"Hey, I'll be fine so you don't to worry. OK?" I was also scared but I knew I had to do this.

"Fine. Let's get going then." Kronos said trying to cheer up.

"Hey, dad" I said as my father appeared at the door.

"It's time." He said looking nervous and excited at the same time.

"I'm quite sure I'm the pregnant one. If you both are so nervous then how do expect me to feel." Percy said becoming irritated.

"We're sorry. We just don't want anything to go wrong." Kronos said.

"I know but don't worry. I'll be fine." I reassured them.

No one's POV

The trio flashed to Apollo's temple. All the other gods were already inside.

"As cute as it is to see that you all came to support Percy, I need you to leave now. The only ones who can stay are Poseidon and Kronos and that's just because they are needed. So please, if you may." Apollo said.

The Olympians grumbled but left.

"Alright Percy, I'm going to need to lie down in this tub and relax."Apollo said.

"Isn't this supposed to be done on a bed?" Percy asked with his eyebrow raised.

"Normally, yes. But we need you to relax so Poseidon gave us this idea." Apollo said.

"Fine. So how is this going to work? Because as far I know, I don't have any parts to birth a child." Percy said.

"Well, that's quite easy. When your body feels that the child is ready to come out, it would transform into a female version of yourself." Kronos said.

"But don't worry. Immortals don't take too long to have their child." Apollo reassured him.

"Let's get this over with." Percy entered into the tub. He instantly relaxed since he was in his father's domain. He knew he didn't have to worry about the child drowning because it was still a part of the sea.

On seeing Percy had relaxed, Kronos began to speed up time around and in Percy's stomach. Percy was amazed when he saw his stomach increase in size rapidly.

A green light began to emanate from Percy then it enveloped him transforming into a very beautiful girl. Kronos almost stopped what he was doing but Apollo nudged him.

"Concentrate." Apollo said.

Then suddenly Percy cried out.

"Kronos that's enough. The baby is coming. Poseidon try to calm him with the water. Assure him that everything will be. Kronos flair your aura a bit. If he feels that you are both here it might get him to stay calm." Apollo said.

"Percy I'm going to need you to push." Apollo said once he saw that Percy could focus again.

Percy pushed desperate to stop the pain and get the baby out of him.

"I can see it's head. Come on Percy just one more." Apollo said.

"Come on my love you can do this. Just one more and it will be over." Kronos grabbed his hand giving him small kisses on his hand and his forehead.

Percy pushed once more and heard the loud cry of a child as Apollo took the baby out of the water and cut the cord.

"Congratulation, it's a boy." Apollo said handing the child to Percy.

Percy smiled a genuine smile, tears of joy rolling down his face. The baby had a small tuff of black hair and beautiful sea green eyes with little hints of white and gold.

"He's beautiful. Well done my love. You did it." Kronos said kissing Percy on the forehead once more.

"Have you thought of a name yet?" Poseidon asked as Kronos handed him the child.

"No. But I want Kronos to name him." Percy said as his body began to change back.

"How about Kayson?" Kronos smiled at his son.

"I love it but may I ask why?" Percy said.

"Because it means the healer. Because he brought back your smile. I haven't seen you smile that way since the incident with Order." Kronos said.

Apollo took the baby from Poseidon. "Poseidon help me dry Percy off and Kronos help me get Percy to the bed. He needs to rest.

Kronos took Percy out of the tub as Poseidon dried him off and left the family to be alone with the exception of Apollo who still had some things to do.

Laying Percy on the bed, Kronos began to praise him.

"You did well. I'm so proud of you." Kronos said.

Apollo came with the child clean and dressed. He handed the child to Percy and began to set a crib beside said person.

"He looks just like you." Kronos said cooing at his son.

"Yeah he does." Percy smiled.

" I know you just want to keep staring at your son but you need to sleep because you've exhausted yourself." Apollo said.

Kronos took the child and placed in the crib.

"Don't worry. Go to sleep. I'll watch him." Kronos said.

"But…" Kronos cut Percy off.

"You trust me right?" Kronos asked.

"With my life." Percy said.

"Then you should trust me to take care of him while you both are asleep." Kronos said.

"OK." Percy said drifting into Morpheus's realm.
