"What does it mean it's the second" she was cut off as a wave of sickness hit her.
Running to the Bathroom she threw up then a pair of strong arms wrapped them selves around her. Opening her eyes she saw her husband looking at her with a worried look.
"You need to see Asclpiouse this is the third time this week".
"I don't, I know what it is see him would" she stopped not sure where to continue.
"If you know then tell me or you think you know but are not sure".
"I'll see Asclpiouse then I'll tell you tonight what is wrong either way, don't worry, I can take care of myself you know that".
After breakfast Hera made her way to Ascepiouses home, she as met by his daughter Hygea.
"So Hera about time you came Zeus has told me what wrong, all I need is a drop of blood to confirm either way".
He put to blood into a bowl of clear liquid as soon as it touched the liquid turned a bright shade of purple.
"I was right then the test has shown me that" with that she left.
"How do I tell Zeus it should be easy but after last time what if history repeats itself".
The dilemma troubled Hera all day she was distracted from work and reluctant to talk to the other goddesses. They wondered what was wrong but didn't ask as they could see Hera as best left alone.
As there were many things to sort because of Hades Hera didn't see Zeus to that night as he had been with Hercules dealing with some giants. Zeus arrived home covered in mud and dried blood as the giants had fought hard and blood had been spilt. After a bath, Zeus fount Hera gazing out at the stars.
"I have something to tell you I'm scared thought it will change things around here".
"What ever it is you can tell me I love you nothing can change that"
"I am pregnant three months it must have happened at night we spent in the garden".
Zeus gazed at her in shock then picked her up.
"I am so happy this is the best news ever" seeing the happy look on her face he said.
"You really want this you want another child."
"Yes for years now but I had this strange feeling that something bad was going to happen, now everything is perfect."
"Never keep anything g like this from me again I knew something was going on but I never imagined this."
"It is just nerves I known for a couple of days I wanted to wait until I told you".
The pair went to bed that night happy wrapped in each other's arms. Gradually Hera got used to being pregnant as the pair told the other Gods and Goddesses the next day, which was met with much excitement and congratulations. Over the next couple of weeks the Goddesses Demeter in particular kept fussing over Hera.
"De please leave me alone I do not need you looking after me I can take care of myself." Hera snapped.
"You can be reckless at times especial with those things you call friends the child will be a prince or princess, Zeus doesn't want anything to happen to you".
" I'm three and a half months nothing will happen nothing did last time so back off or else there ay be trouble" Hera replied.
All the time the problem of Hercules was in her mind how to tell time when they had been at his wedding both had managed not to let slip.
