Daddy's Princess

Zeus, Lord of the Cosmos, king of Olympus, god of air, rubbed his forehead and groaned. "Hermes, Hephaestus, Poseidon, Hades, get in here," he called.

"Hey, brother, what happened to you?" Hades quipped. "You look worse than I do."

"Hades, be nice," Poseidon scolded.

"Just help me," Zeus groaned. "I have a killer headache and I'd like it to go away."

Hermes and Hephaestus soon entered carrying an axe. "What are you going to do with that?" Hades asked.

"End Zeus's headache," Hermes replied.

The four gods lifted the axe and split open Zeus's skull and pulled out a baby girl. Hera entered the room soon after and quickly stitched up the cut. Zeus rubbed his eyes and stared at the child. "This is what was giving me a headache?" He questioned, staring at his new daughter.

"Kids are trouble," Hades replied. "Remember Dad had the right idea."

"He tried to swallow me whole," Zeus shuddered. "And he ate just about everybody in the family except for Mom."

Hades nodded. "What are we going to name her?" Hera asked, reaching for the baby.

"Her name is Athena," Zeus murmured and Hera grinned. Athena already had her father wrapped around her finger.
