'What have I done?' Hades thought with despair. 'How could I have done this to her? I didn't mean to do this to her. I love her! Why did my bad luck have to rub off on her of all people?!'

"Ah!" Yui shouted at the top of her lungs as she cried out in pain. "Hades, help me!"

"How could I be of help to you? All I'll do is cause you more pain and misfortune than you're already going through! It's best I just stay away less you have to suffer even more!" Hades insisted.

"Geez, over dramatic?" asked a nurse.

"Huh?" said Hades looking over at the woman.

"Your wife's just going through normal labor sir. What she's dealing with with is totally natural. It has nothing to do with you really ," the nurse explained.

"Oh really?" said Hades.

'So this isn't from my bad luck?' he thought.

"Well maybe it has a little to do with him," said another nurse, "I mean he is the one that got her pregnant right?"

"Oh," said Hades dissapointed.

"Alright you two that's enough," said the doctor who was working with Yui. "Sir your wife's pain and suffering is sadly the norm when it comes to giving birth. So please don't think you're going to cause more trouble by being here with her."

"He's, ah, right Hades," said Yui, "So please come here!" She stretched out her hand towards him. "Please come here and take my hand. I want you near me right now!"

"Well if you're sure I won't cause you any more misfortune," said Hades as he slowly made his way over to Yui and took her hand willingly.

"Thank you Hades," said Yui smiling only to suddenly give off a loud moan once again and squeezed Hades's hand. "Ah!" she shouted.

"Yui?" said Hades in alarm.

"She's doing fine," said the doctor, "We just need to give the baby a little more push. Can you do that for me Yui?"

"Yes I think I can," said Yui. She closed her eyes and squeezed Hades's hand even tighter. She screamed and pushed as loudly and as hard as she could.

"Good, good," said the doctor, "Good here comes the head and, and...,"

"Wha!"

Yui's eye sprang open.

"Is that, is that?" she repeated.

"Congratulations you two, it's a a girl!" said the doctor holding the baby up that twisted and turned in his arms as she cried loudly.

"We have a girl?" Yui asked happy but weakly.

"We have a girl?" Hades also asked looking surprised.

"Yes and it looks like she's doing well," said the doctor. He moved with the baby over to the examining table..

"Hades, Hades, we did it!" said Yui sounding overjoyed but still weak.

"We did?" said Hades not sounding like he was fully grasping the situation.

"Yes congratulations sir," said one of the nurses as she came up to him carrying a big pink bundle in her arms. She held it up to him to give him a good look. There in the sea of pink Hades could see the pale yet beautiful face of a baby who also happened have the thin outline of his hair on her head.

"Is this her, the baby?" Hades asked.

"Yes sir, do you want to hold your daughter?" asked the nurse.

"My daughter?" Hades asked out loud, "I can hold her?"

"Well yes you're her father after all right?" asked the nurse as she moved to put the baby into Hades's arms. Hades looked down at the pale face baby. She in turned stared back at him. Time seem to freeze all around the two of them as they just looked at each other.

Suddenly Hades felt a hand on his arm. He looked over and saw it was Yui as she laid in her bed. She smiled weakly at him."Is that her?" she asked him softly.

"Uh yes this is her," said Hades.

"Can I see her?" Yui asked.

"Huh?" Hades asked.

"I think your wife wants to hold the baby sir," said the nurse.

"Oh right," said Hades. He carefully handed the baby off to her mother. Yui adjusted the blanket a little she could get a good look at her baby.

"Oh she's so beautiful," Yui cooed looking over her baby with love and pride. "Can you believe it Hades? We're parents!"

"We are?" asked Hades.

"Boy this guy sure seems to have a hard time grasping the obvious," said the nurse, "Yes you're parents now. Your wife's a mother and you are now a father."

"I'm a father?" Hades found himself speaking out loud over and over again.

"I'm a father?" Hades said again and again as he wondered to the waiting room, "I've never been a father before. Not even with...,"

"Hades!" Apollo shouted at him suddenly. Hades looked around and realized he was now in the waiting room where all the gods he and Yui had gone to school with were looking at him eagerly.

"Hades what happened?" Balder asked.

"I'm a father," Hades sputtered.

"Yeah we could have guessed that much given how much you've going on and on, "I'm a father," said Takeru, "but what we really care about is what happened to The Weed? And the baby?"

"We have a daughter," said Hades.

"You do? Hades that's great!" said Apollo.

"Yes this is such a happy day for you Hades!" said Balder, "And Yui!"

"Yeah, we need drinks for a toast I say!" said Dionysus.

"Hmm, I wonder if this so called daughter is going to be as cute as her mother or is she going to have the misfortune of looking like her father?" said Loki.

"Misfortune of looking like me?" asked Hades.

"Loki, don't say something like that at a time like this," said Thor.

"Given that half the DNA comes from either parent there is a 50% the baby will be just like her father," said Totsuka.

"My daughter could wind up just like me?" said Hades. He wasn't sure he liked the idea of that personally.

"Uh not that there's anything wrong with your daughter being like you Hades. There's nothing wrong with that at all!" Apollo insisted.

"Huh," Hades responded.

"Well no matter how she is, I want to her and Fae! I want to see them right now!" said Apollo.

"Yes I want to see the baby and Yui too," Balder also insisted.

"Oh sure," said Hades. He led his friends towards Yui's room.

"Eh by the way Hades, has she, the baby, uh, shown any signs of well, you know?" Dionysus asked as he and Apollo walked near him.

"No, not that I've seen so far. She looks and acts like a normal human baby," said Hades.

"Hmm, well maybe it turns out she's more like her mother than you huh?" Dionysusu said.

"It's possible," said Hades. To be honest he was still having a hard time realizing this even now, no matter how much time had past.

After he and the other gods had come back to Yui at her family's shrine to learn more about humans, and work on the relationship between gods and humans, he and Yui had started to get really close. All throughout high school and college they remained close. So much in fact that when he and Yui finished college he didn't want to leave her. So Hades went and pleaded with Zeus to let him stay with Yui, and live with her as mortal rather than return to the underworld.

Zeus surprisingly allowed it. Hades wasn't sure why though even now. He had several different theories. It could be that Hades never really asked his brothers such things. Or it could be Zeus thought if Hades stayed with Yui the relationship between humans and gods would improve even more. Or even still there could be some other reason behind it all together. Whatever the reason Hades was just happy that he had been allowed to stay with Yui.

Of course he wasn't sure how long it would be though. When Zeus had allowed Hades he to stay with Yui he made sure to tell Hades that it would only be temporary, since Hades was still the lord of the dead, and would have to return to his duties one day. So even though Hades had been able to live happily with Yui, he still had to be in constant worry about when Zeus would call him back to the underworld.

Most of the time Hades had been able to put those worries behind him and just focus on his life with Yui. The two lived together at her family's shrine and had been married under a real beautiful starry night. Hades had been very adaptable to living the life as a mortal. He was happy working with Yui's father and brother while Yui herself had gotten a job as a gym teacher at the local high school. Yui's family got along really well with Hades as well as the other gods. The other gods whom, Hades and Yui had gone to school with, had been allowed to go back to their own worlds. However they were allow to come by the shrine. They visited so often it was more unusual for them not to visit at least once or twice a week.

In all honesty life was good for Yui and Hades. Until now, after Yui had found out she was pregnate. Hades wasn't sure what was going to happen now that a baby had been put into the mix. He just hoped nothing bad happened to him Yui or the baby.

Yui laid in her bed holding her little girl in her arms cooing and smiling at her new bundle of joy.

"I wonder if Hades would be alright if we named Umeko, our plum blossom child?" she asked out loud. Just then the door to her room opened. Yui looked to the door eagerly assuming it was Hades returning with their friends like he had said he would."Hades did you bring the guys?" Yui asked with delight. However instead of seeing Hades or any of her other god friends in stepped a different person all together."Zeus?" Yui asked in surprise.

"Hello Yui Kusanagi," said Zeus with a confident smile.

"What are you doing here?" Yui asked.

"Is it so unusla for an uncle to come and see his new niece?" asked Zeus as he came and looked over Yui and her baby. "What do you call her?"

"Uh I was thinking of Umeko. I just have to ask Hades what he thinks," said Yui.

"Hmm," said Zeus as he continued to look over the baby. "You know one of her kind hasn't been born in a long time."

"Her kind?" Yui asked confused.

"You don't know what your daughter is Yui Kusanagi?" Zeus asked.

"She's a baby, that's all, right?" Yui asked.

"Yes, the baby of a god," said Zeus, "And even if she's not showing it now I am more than certain that there is something special about her."

"Huh?" said Yui.

"Hmm, just make sure your baby grows up big and strong. As she grows I'm sure you will see what it is I'm talking about. If not Hades and the other will explain it to you," said Zeus. "Grow up strong Baby Umeko. Your birth has made a great stride in the mending the relationship between your mother's kind and your father's kind. I look forward to watching your growth."

"So do I," said Yui softly, "As long you grow up happy." Something about the way Zeus was talking about her daughter made her feel nervous. The last thing she wanted was for her baby to suffer for being the daughter of a god.
