Disclaimer: I do not own the Myth characters…the Greeks do, though you know I believe myths belong to everyone.

A/N: This Myth is set in modern times, like tv, computers and such. I know Hera and Zeus only have three children together, so though I would add a fourth for them.

A Myth set in modern times.

Prologue

Hera sighed, some days it was good to be mortal…like today. She stepped out of her cloths and into the shower, she smiled. The warm water caressed her body, she let out a soft gasp, the water was so warm, and nice. She didn't normally get to shower like this, not on Olympus any ways.

She smiled a bit. "I should really thank Hephaestus for making the shower; I love it, and the bath. Of course it's partly Eclipsia's fault..."

"You know you shouldn't talk to yourself, dear." Zeus chuckled.

She poked her head out from behind the current. "Are you going to get in with me?"

Zeus raised an eyebrow at her. "Are we…?"

"No, I don't want sex; I just want to shower…besides I don't feel sexy at all…more old and ragged…"

Zeus cupped her face and kissed her lips lightly. "You'll always be sexy to me."

'Mmm…never sexy enough…." She muttered more to herself then him.

He shook his head, and started to undress to get in. She smiled and went back into the shower she got the passion fruit shampoo, she loved the smell.

"Gosh…you know how that smell drives me nuts…" Zeus groaned.

"I like it, its pretty…." She replied and kissed his cheek. "And yes I do know….I like it." She repeated

He massaged her head a little, smiling. She smiled at him and stood on tiptoe to kiss him gently, he moved backwards a bit, a little surprised.

"I thought…"

"I don't." She smiled at him. "I just wanted to kiss you….is that okay?"

He nodded, it wasn't normal that she was like this. Evasive and elusive, almost like a kitten….a slow grin came across his face as she washed the shampoo out of her hair, and then conditioned it, combing it out.

"What?" She asked, looking at him.

"Your beautiful." He stated, "So beautiful, a man would have to be a fool not to fall in love with you."

She frowned a bit, "…is that why you fell in love with me….my beauty?"

He looked at her. "Hera…you're beautiful, I would be lying if I didn't say that I fell in love with you when I saw that….but also your personality."

She shut the water off and got out, wrapping a towel around herself. "Humph, you didn't even know my personality, that night…."

He sighed. "Hera…."

"It's true….what they say, I only married you because you raped me….I wouldn't have married you for the world, had you not taken away what was mine to give to the man I actually loved." She told him.

He looked at her. He couldn't think of anything to say, he didn't even know why they were fighting.

"Don't ask me if I'm PMSing…" She growled. "Because I'm not….dang it, I'm just so moody!" She slammed her hand down on the porcelain counter top…she cursed slightly and shook her hand now that was almost dead.

He walked over and grabbed her hand; he started to massage it gently, trying to awaken it. "Hera, when was the last time you….?"

Hera blinked; she didn't try to pull away. "Three…maybe four months ago…" She sighed, she didn't know why, it wasn't possible for her to pregnant, and she'd had her children.

He brushed her hair back with his free hand. "You were sick a few months ago, remember?" There was a hint of a smile on his face.

She pulled away then. "I'm not pregnant." She stated almost angrily. "You couldn't give me another child even if I begged you too."

"Hera!" Zeus stated just as angrily, yes he was getting upset; it would be wonderful if his wife would be with child. He was also upset that she said he couldn't give her another child.

"Its true, I saw you the other night with one of the young girls at the bar."

"Hera, I only took her home, I didn't sleep with her." He sighed and ran his hand through his still wet hair. "Just take the test, okay?" He had already gotten dressed and walked out.

Hera watched him…she was scared, scared that maybe she'd gotten her hopes up. She really did want a child, another little one, but she had to admit she didn't want to bring the child up in this world. She frowned, she had the test in the drawer, and she opened it, staring at it.

"Dad," Dionysus looked at him. He could tell that his father was a little out of it.

"…hello son, did you come from visiting Zeal and Narissa?" He asked, even though he already knew the answer.

"Yes, I'm going to be a grandfather, some time in the spring." He was beaming with happiness.

Zeus smiled. "That's wonderful…"

"There's something wrong with you, though, I can tell. Did you and step mom have another fight?" He asked sitting down he got a cup of wine and slowly started drinking it.

"… …I don't want to talk about it." He stated, knowing that Hera was still close by.

"Oh come on dad, we talk about everything between you two, its not like I don't even know the last time you two slept together." Dionysus sighed, running his hand through his hair.

Zeus looked at him. "Your step mother must never know that I tell you about that…She'd kill me for sure…" His son nod, a small smirk on his face, "I think she might be pregnant."

"Congratulations!" His smile widened. "It's been a while since you had a child to hold, that was your own."

He sighed. "She's not happy about it. I know I've screwed up in the past, not being there for her or for our kids…"

Dionysus just looked at him, he watched as his step mother came out with the test, she had a slight look on her face, he stood.

"Hello, mom," He smiled at her.

"Hello Dionysus, how is Narissa?" She hadn't turned to Zeus yet, barely acknowledging that he was even there.

"She's good, she is going to have baby in the spring, Zeal is nervous."

Hera chuckled a bit. "He should be…having children is a great experience but also its nerve wracking."

He nodded. "I think dad wanted to talk to you, so I'll leave you two to discuss what you need to." He bowed to both of them and then left.

Zeus looked up at Hera. "You wanted to discuss something?" She asked.

Zeus resisted the urge to roll his eyes; she knew he wanted to discuss something. "What did the test say, Hera?"

Hera didn't say anything….the test…he wanted to know about the test…her mind went back to the last ten minutes she'd been in the bathroom. For half of that time she had just stared at the test, telling herself she needed to know, but not wanting the results to be no.

Zeus stood, he put his hand on her's, and she'd absent mindedly placed them on her stomach. "Darling, are we going to be parents?" He asked, smiling brightly at her, he noticed a glint in her eyes.

Hera looked at him, she blinked a bit. She handed him the test, she hadn't taken it, she was too afraid of the results. "I...I couldn't make myself take it..." She held herself to him.

Zeus blinked he held her for a while, rocking her slightly. He kissed the top of her head, and brushed her hair back, "Its okay, baby, its okay…"

She looked at him. "Do you want another baby?"

Zeus smiled; he brought her mouth closer to his and kissed her. He hadn't kissed her like that in a long time; she opened her mouth when he asked for permission, and he pulled her closer, and began exploring the inside of her mouth, as if tasting her for the first time. She moaned slightly as he started playing war with her tongue she fought back, she wouldn't let him win; he'd won so many times. By the time she pulled away both were breathless.

"Does that answer your question?" He asked, smiling a bit.

Hera nodded; she was still trying to catch her breath.

"If you don't want to take the test, you don't' have to, but you do need to have the doctor do blood work." He smiled at her. "We can keep it in the family if you'd like."

"No…I don't want to take any test, I know the answer, and Zeus…you should too." She looked at her hands. "We both know I'm pregnant."

Zeus smiled and pulled her closer, he went to kiss her again, but she stopped him. "What?"

"You promise you didn't sleep with that girl?" She was questioning him again. "And the one at your office…?"

Zeus brushed her hair back. "Hera, I've only slept with you the last six months we've been here, my secretary is a happily married woman, and she is not intrested in a one time affair. The young lady that took home from the bar, that was it, I took her home, she was in no condition to drive." He smiled and kissed her cheek, lightly, it was as if a feather had brushed her cheek.

Her face flushed lightly, he smiled, it had been a while since he had made her blush, and she was beautiful. "So…when should we tell the kids?"

"At dinner," Hera stated, she yawned slightly. "It will be different being pregnant as a mortal."

Zeus nodded. "Yes, darling it will be, why don't you rest…?"

Hera took his hand; she entwined her fingers with his. "Will you rest with me?" She asked looking into his eyes, her eyes sparkling mischievously.

Zeus chuckled a bit and kissed her gently, he picked her up bridal style. "I mean rest, my dear, not making love."

She frowned a bit, but wrapped her arms around his neck, he knew, and she knew she got like this when she was pregnant. He had to admit it was some of the best times he'd ever had with her, he especially like it because they didn't fight so much. Well with the exception of Ares, who they had fought constantly about; this was probably why he was the god of war.

She smiled at him and snuggled close, she was asleep before they had even made it to her room. He laid her down, smiling at her, he watched her sleep for a while, before crawling into bed and holding her close to him, he kissed her cheek, and brushed her hair back.
