A/N: Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson. Never have, never will.

Sally POV

I cradled my 1-week-old infant son against my chest. My little baby boy. I glanced out across the sea. "Poseidon," I murmered. "I wish you could see him." The waves lapped at my feet, gently tickling my toes.

I lowered my eyes to my sleeping child. As I watched, his eyes fluttered open. As always, I was a little saddened by how much he looked like his father. The eyes were one of the most similar things about the two of them. Percy had the same happy gleam that shone when the light hit the green orbs just right. I smiled tenderly as Percy yawned, his mouth making a perfect "O" shape. He stretched his tiny arms and waved his fists up at me.

"Hello honey," I cooed, pulling his blue baby blanket away from his face a little more. "Have a nice sleep?" I shifted the way Percy was laying in my arms so he could gaze out at the sunrise with me. "You're up early, Percy."

The still-half-asleep child blinked blearily before asking "Inga?" He stretched his fingers towards the horizon. "Inga!"

I laughed and kissed the top of Percy's head, his fine black hair tickling my nose. "I don't know what you're saying, sweetie, but it sure is cute." I sighed and looked out over the sea again. "I wish you could be here, Poseidon."

I wasn't mad that he had left. Just sad. I knew that, as a god, Poseidon had other obligations. Besides, it was for Percy's own good. If Zeus or Hades found out that Poseidon broke the oath... I shuddered in the rays of the early morning sun, drawing my shawl closer around me, and tucking Percy's blanket just a little tighter around him.

"Ready to go inside?" I asked. I smiled at him as he reached for the ocean again. "Not yet? Okay then, Percy." I shifted my weight from my left foot forwards onto my right one. Percy was a sturdy boy. As he reached for the water again, a ringing wail left his mouth; he was starting to cry. I looked from the water to my son and back again. An idea struck me.

I knelt down slowly, so as to not jostle my young son. He seemed to get exicted by the prospect of getting nearer the water. Smiling again, I took his tiny hand, and his fingers curled automatically around my thumb. "This is the ocean Percy," I explained, as I dipped our hands in. The water was cold, but Percy shrieked happily and started splashing around, getting us both wet. I couldn't help but laugh out loud as he giggled and splashed, smiling larger than I'd ever seen a baby smile.

Even though he had no teeth, his smile was one of the cutest things I had ever seen. The smile radiated happiness that also shone out of his eyes. Tears started to well up in my eyes. He looked so much like his father when he was laughing like that.

I don't know how long we sat on the edge of the beach, my son splashing around in the cold water, but we were both drenched and shiviering before I knew it. Also, Percy's tiny stomach was making sounds similar to that of a Wookie(1).

"Come on dear. We'll come back out soon," I promised as I stood up. Percy's happy smile vanished and he reached for the waves again. I froze when he yelled out a word I had not expected him to say.

"Dada!"

A/N: This was a dream I had. I had read The Demigod Files before going to bed, and I had this dream. Only thing was, it was snowy in the dream, Sally had yellow and green war paint on her face and a cow kept mooing everytime Percy spoke. ...I have no idea why.

I have Percy as a 1-week-old child because I can't figure out his birth. I know it's in August (August 18th), but Poseidon spent one month with Sally. So, either 9 months from July or 9 months from August, it doesn't add up. Also, I like have Percy as a mini mo. I think it's cuter when he yells "Dada!" when Sally is trying to take him inside.

(1) Star Wars reference. The Wookies are big hairy creatures (makes me think of Sasquatch) and when they talk, it's kind of a growl/roar thing. It simpler terms "Also, Percy's tiny stomach was growling and demanding that he be fed." I just liked the Wookie line, and I like Star Wars. I even had a Star Wars B-day cake!
