topic.”
    “What?” Ares asked, narrowing his eyes.
    Zeus looked to Hephaestus. “I know we said years ago we’d put it behind us, but I want us to really do so. I’m sorry for what I did to you. I was jealous and felt you’d take some of Hera’s love away from me. Seeing all of you finding love here lately has made me regret many things. Boy or girl,” he said, looking to Ares as well, “you two will be its brothers. I want us to be more like a family instead of a bunch of spoiled teenagers.”
    Ares snickered. “Spoiled teenagers?”
    “You have to admit, it fits some days,” Hera said. “We’ve all had our differences, so we’ll all have to work at it.”
    “If I can do it, so can you two,” Zeus added.
    Hephaestus nodded. “I can.” He looked to Ares. “You?”
    After a moment, Ares nodded. “Yes, I can.” He raked his hand down his face. “Demeter and Hestia will be with you at the birth? And Hypnos in case there’s lots of pain?”
    “I had Hypnos close by when both of your were born, and I didn’t need him at all. I imagine my sisters will both want to be with me, but I am the goddess of both women and childbirth.” She put one hand on her hips. “Note the word goddess . What do you think could go wrong?”
    Ares shrugged, looking a bit embarrassed. “Something might.”
    She reached out and grasped his hand. “Will you stay with me then and see me through the travails?”
    Ares paled a bit, which made Hera want to laugh. He’d cut down thousands of men and literally marched over piles of corpses, yet he looked ready to faint simply thinking about her giving birth. “Of course, if you want that.” His voice sounded a bit far off, and he cleared his throat.
    She let her laughter spill out. “I think some things should remain private and mysterious, sweetheart. And I wouldn’t put you through that.”
    Ares seemed relieved yet he still protested. “But I’d do it if you wanted me there.”
    “I know, and that’s all that matters.” She kissed both of her sons. “Now go and enjoy this party. I put a lot of effort into this!”
    Both of her sons mingled back into the crowd, and Hera took Zeus’ hand. She led them out onto the balcony, where she took a deep breath and then turned to look at her guests. “Everyone seems excited,” she said.
    “And happy.”
    “Yes, and happy.” She pulled him to her for a kiss. Smiling up into his eyes, she whispered, “Very, very happy.”
    They embraced again, and his hand lightly caressed her quickly swelling belly. Already she felt his love surrounding her. This time, things would be different. They’d been meant for each other since the beginning of time, and for once, she was going to count her blessings and revel in being the queen of his heart.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
     
     
    Marie Medina was born in northern New England and raised by her pale, mysterious godfather in a dark gothic mansion on the edge of her small, sleepy town. He didn’t turn out to be a Bronte hero or a vampire, as she thought when she was very young, but he is her best friend and the standard by which she measures all her heroes (and suitors). She has been writing since the age of eleven and has no intention of stopping anytime soon.
