I Wonder What Hades Will be Like as a Father

Hades is really grumpy about my having a baby.

“What’s going to happen when you go up above? You know what the rules are. You’re the only one that goes back and forth. The baby will have to stay here.”

He harrumphs with disgust.

That makes me really sad. Although I’ll be glad to see my mother—at least at first—now I’ll have to be away from my little one. That’s no good. I can’t trust Hades to help. He really REALLY doesn’t like children. I wonder who I can get to help. Mother can’t help because she wouldn’t want to be down here when I’m up there.

Maybe part of the problem is that Hades knows that the baby isn’t his. The fact that the baby isn’t mine doesn’t seem to bother him.

I wonder what Hades will be like as a father….
