Sally Jackson let out a deep sigh. Of course the skies decided that it was time to rain the minute she clocked out of the job.

Biting her lip, Sally made a mental list of the pros and cons of going out in the rain without an umbrella.

Sally was pulled out of her thoughts when a kind voice said, "Sally, dear, I can let you borrow my umbrella if you want."

Sally jerked towards the voice, surprise etched on her face.

"Oh no! I couldn't!" Sally protested, waiving her hands in a back and forth motion at her coworker, "My house is just a few blocks away, I could make it easily if I run. Besides, what would you use when you leave?"

"Nonsense. I couldn't let you run home, what if you fall and hurt yourself? I couldn't live with myself if that happened. And I won't have to use anything, I'm working overtime today, won't be done 'til later tonight. The rain will have let up by then." Her coworker walked up to her with an umbrella in hand, holding it out to Sally.

Sally smiled and took the offered shelter. It would do her no good to continue arguing, especially since she didn't want to be late. She was meeting Poseidon after all, and a god should not be left waiting.

Sally opened the door, a bell chiming as she did so. Turning back and holding up the umbrella she said, "I'll return this tomorrow.", then left.

The walk home wasn't fast nor was it slow, Sally was walking home in a safe area, but she couldn't help but feel that something important was going to happen.

Just a block away from her little apartment, Sally heard a high pitched whine coming from one of the alleyways. Thinking that it was animal Sally went towards the noise, seeking to help the poor thing.

As she got progressively closer, Sally heard the whine again, this time sounding almost like a baby crying.

Panic and worry settled in her chest as she finally got to the origin of the noise. Next to a brick wall was a bundle of blankets covered in blood splatters. Picking up the bundle, Sally peered back the blankets and gasped at what she saw.

Sally held the bundle tight to her chest, glad she took the umbrella and made the rest of her way home.

Finally making her way home, Sally was greeted by the sight of the sea god pacing back and forth.

Seeing her, Poseidon rushed towards Sally and grabbed her shoulders.

"Where have you been?! I thought that one of my enemies had gotten to you..." Worry laced his voice. Poseidon had opened his mouth to say something else when he saw what was in Sally's arms.

"Why is there a baby in your arms?" Poseidon questioned.

"I-" Sally looked down, "I found him in an alley. I couldn't just leave him there."

Sally looked up again, determination in her eyes, "I'm going to adopt him."

Poseidon's eyes widened in surprise.

"I'm not completely opposed to this idea, but I would advise against it."

Sally immediately went on the defense, "What? You think that I can't be a good mother?"

Poseidon shook his head, "No, that's not it. This," he gestured to the baby in Sally's arms,"child has the aura of that of a demigod, but not one of Greek origin."

"There are more?" Sally asked, shock evident in her voice.

"I cannot say, but if you are going to adopt this child, then so will I."

Poseidon put a finger to the baby's forehead and muttered something in Ancient Greek. A green light enveloped the baby then seemed to sink into his skin.

Sally smiled. "What should we name him?"

They both looked down at the baby, with his full head a black hair and wide green eyes.

"Perseus. Perseus Achilles Jackson."
