Check the cupboard for your daddys gun
Red sun rises like an early warning
The Lord's gonna come for your first born son
His hairs on fire and his heart is burning
Go to the river where the water runs
Wash him deep where the tides are turning
And if you fall, and if you fall
Hold my hand
Ooh, baby, its a long way down to the bottom of the river
Long, long ago, the goddess Eris played a nasty little trick on her cousins - she threw a beautiful golden apple among them and said to the most beautiful goddess of all goes this apple of youth - as a reward. In her favor it should be said that she never really imagined that it would go as far as it did. It seems, however that she underestimated the Immortals capacity for ridiculousness. As punishment, she was cursed to never bear children - for her cousins knew all too well that it was something she desired above all others. That was the moment oh so long ago that Eris went from being mischevious to bitter. It was the moment that spelled the doom of the gods.

"Oh John! This is just-st just TERRIBLE!" Mrs. Evans sobbed into Mr. Evans chest. "How could this have happened!? How could I not have not known I was pregnant!? And now he's gone and and and we'll never have another child!" she howled desperately.
"Darling, darling it's alright! I mean how could we have known? It's only been three months since you gave birth to Lily! I know we always talked about having more children… but surely we shall be alright. After all we still have our daughters." He murmured soothingly, the longing sadness in his eyes belying his statement.
It was at this exact moment when a young energetic nurse bounced her golden toned self right into Mrs. Evans; throwing her off balance and catapulting her out of her husbands arms and onto the floor.
" Oh I'm so sorry miss! Here let me help you up!" she chirped happily, grabbing her hapless victim by the arm and dragging her upwards once again. In that moment what Mrs. Evans didn't notice, but the 'nurse' certainly did; was the glowing golden strand of primordial essence detaching itself from it's mother and burying itself into Mrs. Evans womb.
"Oh no it's quite alright Nurse - Erin was it? - Thank you for helping my wife back up." Mr. Evans bit out quickly, beating a hasty retreat from the cheerful nurse. A smirk on her lips, Eris bit into the shiny golden apple in her hand, and promptly disappeared in a burst of dark smoke.
Nine months later, when Mrs. Evans gave birth to a bouncing baby girl, she would swear it were a miracle. Privately however she just thought her old doctor was a hack.
