"It so beautiful here," Annabeth says, as they enter the courtyard. The entry to Poseidon's palace is straight across from where stand, but Annabeth is attracted to the fountain in the center of the yard. "It' unusual to have a fountain underwater isn't it?" she continues curiously.

"Everything about Dad's place is unusual," Percy says with a smile.

"What is that castle?" Annabeth asks looking beyond the palace.

"The one up on the hill there is Triton's place, according to Tyson," he says. The castle in question looks more like something from King Arthur than Atlantis. The tower steeples shimmer in gold and the windows are arched.

"It's beautiful," Annabeth says showing her full appreciation to the architecture.

"You know, I could always build you a place down here," her husband now says, "I mean since you can breathe and all."

"Maybe a little winter home," he tells him with a smile. It is about that time her face goes completely red and she covers Sophia's eyes. "Oh gods, Percy, that statue of your dad, look at his…"

"You're used to Greek nudes," Percy says shaking his head.

"But usually they're… I mean it's… not that big," she says.

"He's probably just exaggerating down here where nobody will call him on it. My mom never said…"

"Percy," she says getting more embarrassed.

"Maybe we should get inside," Percy says directing his wife and daughter away from the well endowed statue of his father.

As the three of them approach the doors to the palace, they open. "Son, you made it," Poseidon says greeting them then reaches for his granddaughter. Sophia giggles and grabs grandpa's beard.

"Yeah, we were just admiring your new statue," Percy says.

"Isn't it marvelous?" his dad says. "Triton just brought it back for me."

"It's a little exaggerated isn't it?" his son says.

"What do you mean?" his dad says then gives him a wink.

"Brother," Tyson says loudly, as he comes charging down the stairs.

"Daddy," a young voice calls out behind him then Zale appears on the landing upstairs.

"He's getting so big," Annabeth says then charges up the stairs to see her nephew. "Look at you, sweetheart, do you remember Aunt Annabeth," she asks then gives him a hug.

"'member," he says then takes her blonde hair in his hand.

"Zale you need to come back please," Annabeth hears Shelly call from a bedroom.

"Come on, let's go see Mommy," Annabeth says taking the little cyclops' hand and leading him toward the voice.

"It's good to see you Brother," Tyson tells Percy.

"I can't believe how big Zale is getting. I realize he's a Cyclops and all but he's so much younger than Sophia," Percy says hugging his brother.

"He is very big," Tyson agrees with a proud papa grin on his face.

"It's great to have all my grown boys here," Poseidon says leading them into the sitting room off the entryway.

"Percy," Triton says now greeting his brother.

"Triton, it's great to see you," his brother says giving him a hug. "I take it you're mom isn't around."

"She's here, but I told her I was going to take this time to get to know you," Triton tells him.

"Father, may I enter," a female now calls from a doorway at the other end of the great room.

"Yes," Triton says motioning for the woman. "Percy this is my daughter Triteia."

"Hello," Percy says extending his hand to his niece who is obviously way older than he is. "It's nice to meet you."

"This is your beautiful daughter," she says reaching to take her from her grandfather. Poseidon doesn't really seem to want to give the baby up, but he eventually does.

"Yes," Percy says, "Sophia."

"Where is your wife, Annabeth Daughter of Athena, I was looking so forward to meeting her?" Triteia asks.

"She's upstairs with Shelly," Percy explains.

"I so miss Athena," she tells him.

"So you grew up with her too?" Percy asks.

"I was only with father at some times, when Athena was young," she explains and kisses Sophia.

"Do you have any children?" Percy asks thinking she looks like a natural with his daughter.

"I birthed a son. A great King of Thebes, but alas that was too many years ago," she explains.

"I doubt you would have gotten along," Triton says with a laugh.

"Why's that, is he a son or Ares or something," Percy says laughing with his brother.

"Yes," his niece says seriously.

"Oh, sorry, I mean… Are you trying to get me in trouble big brother," Percy says looking at Triton.

"No," his brother says but is still chuckling.

"Anyway, I get along with Clarisse now. Mostly," Percy says with a grin.

"Percy," Annabeth calls from the entryway.

"In here, babe," he calls back. "Whoa," he continues when he sees Shelly who is with her and obviously pregnant again.

"Percy," Shelly says giving him a hug.

"Look at you," Percy says, "The two of your have been at it again."

"Yes, your brother is going to be a father again," she says proudly.

"Girl this time we hope," Tyson tells his brother then picks up Zale and hugs him tightly.

"My family is growing," Poseidon now says proudly.

"Annabeth, this is Triteia, she grew up…"

"You grew up with my mom," Annabeth says giving her a hug.

"Oh yeah, forgot, you know every Greek that ever lived," Percy says with a laugh.

"Your daughter is beautiful," Triteia tells Annabeth then all the girls take off into another room.

"I think we just got dumped," Triton says with a laugh.

"How about some pool?" Poseidon asks.

"Swimming or shooting?" Percy asks.

"Shooting," his dad says and leads the guys toward the game room.
