"Hey baby, do you want to go to the Seaworld before Gabe comes home?" Sally asked grabbing Percy's four year old hand. Right now was one of the rare occurrences when Sally's abusive husband was out of the house.

Percy nodded eagerly and Sally  strapped him into  his carseat  and they left.

 "Mommy the fish day hi!" Percy  kept saying, or  occasionally "The shark says you're Daddy's  favorite!" which would always put tears in Sally's eyes.

"Look Perce!" Sally said pointing to a large pool with dolphins learning tricks. "Let's go see the dolphins."

Percy toddled through the crowd with Sally pushing her way through trying to keep her only son in her line of sight. She caught up to him and looked at the instructor, with something in the back of her mind about the mop of black hair he had. He faced the crowd and called on a little girl about Percy's age with frizzy red hair in a green headband and somehow very accurate drawings of teddy bears and guinea pigs. 

Next was a teenage girl, then an elderly man. They all tried to train the dolphins but it wasn't nearly so elegant as when the instructor did it. Especially the little girl. (poseidon doesn't ship perachel)

The he locked his eyes on Percy and said, "How about you young man! Percy come on down!"

Sally froze, but something in her told her the man would never hurt her pride and joy. She let Percy scramble down to the man.

"Lift your hand Percy." he encouraged and Percy did. The dolphins swam on their backs and did intricate flips and disco moves, all nodding to Percy whenever they passed.

It's an honor my lord. They said making Percy giggle. "I think they talked to me!" he told the man. 

"Yes they did! Aren't you a little sea prince!"

Sally gasped as she realized who this was. The black hair, she water talents, the way he knew Percy's name, all of it. In front of her, teaching her son, was the only man who had ever loved her.

He was Poseidon.
