" Suddenly the throne room bust open and the titans stepped into the throne room. They had a sad look on their faces. "Where is Percy?" Poseidon asked.

"I'm sorry" Kronos said. Poseidon  turned pale and burst into tears. Everyone in the throne room look ready to also follow suit. All except Chaos. She had a knowing look in her eyes

"What happened?" Zeus asked.

"He…"

Continnum

"He may or may not have hit his head because I was a little itty bitty clumsy and may or may not have a concussion." Atlas said.

"Is that all?" Poseidon asked.

"Yes. I'm sorry please forgive me and don't use me as shark food."

Poseidon looked the happiest he had ever been. His signed then turned to glare at Atlas.

"I won't use you as shark food because I'm very happy and do not have time for you but if it happens again" he smiled innocently "we'll miss you."

Atlas gulped and nodded.

"Now, where is my son?" Poseidon asked.

"He's back at Othrys. I had to get him to have a checkup before seeing you. He would be allowed to leave once it has been clarified that he's fine." Kronos replied.

"Well then, while we wait, you can tell us one or two things you observed back at Order's palace." Zeus said.

"Although some of the guards are complete idiots, one thing is for sure it is heavily guarded and Order watches everything that goes on. We were so lucky to escape unscathed." Iapetus said.

The doors of the throne room opened and Hyperion entered with Percy following in tow. 

"Percy!!" Poseidon leaped off his throne and brought Percy into a tight embrace.

"Dad." Percy winced.

"I'm sorry. Are you hurt?" Poseidon asked checking Percy for any injuries.

"No but…" Percy trailed off.

"He's carrying Order's child. Remember?" Chaos said.

"Yes. I do." Poseidon frowned and looked at Kronos.

"Don't worry. I'm okay with it. I won't try to kill it. I mean it's also Percy's, so I'll treat him as my own."

"Which one? The one that eats his kids?" Ares asked.

"Hahaha very funny." Kronos said looking unamused.

"Percy, you remember the decision you have to make." Hyperion said.

"Yes. I do." Percy signed.

"What decision are you talking about?" Kronos asked.

"I'll let Percy explain. It's your decision and his to make." Hyperion responded.

"Come on Poseidon. Let's leave them alone." Zeus said seeing Poseidon glare at Kronos. Poseidon hesitated unsure about leaving Percy after just getting him back.

"Dad, I'll be fine I promise. I'm not going anywhere. Besides Kronos won't let anything happen to me." Percy assured him.

"OK but if you need anything, just call me." Poseidon turned and left after Percy nodded.

Percy turned to face Kronos.

"I missed you." Kronos said pulling Percy into a hug. It was obvious that he was struggling  to keep his emotions in check.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm here. I also missed you too." Percy said relaxing into Kronos's  embrace.

Kronos pulled away from Percy kissing his forehead.

"So what's going on? What was Hyperion talking about?" Kronos asked. He was scared of losing Percy again.

"It's about my child. With the war going on I can't carry it about. That would make me an easy target and Order would have me in his hands once again." Percy said.

"Are you saying we should eliminate this child?" Kronos asked confused.

"What? No. I need your help to accelerate this. I have to give birth to this child. That way I can keep it safe and also stay safe. I needed to ask you because I didn't know if you were ready for it yet." Percy replied.

"I will always support your decisions. You should know this by now. And i promise I'll try my best to be a good father. But I am curious about one thing." Kronos said.

"And what's that?" Percy questioned wrapping his arms around Kronos.

"What would have happened if I said no?" Kronos asked.

"Well I guess I never really thought about it." Percy said

"Let's forget about it. Your father would probably become impatient and barge into here soon." Kronos said.

"You're probably right. But we are alone right now." Percy said pulling Kronos into a long kiss. Tongues fighting for dominance. Kronos wrapped his arms around Percy's waist pulling Percy closer to him.

"I won't let you out of my sight anymore." Kronos said.

"Hmm." Percy hummed.
