And because of his days of affection, comfort, and shared passion with Hera led her to became pregnant. Hera's hands trembled as she gazed down at the faint blue line on the pregnancy test, her heart racing in her chest. She was with child - Sharky's child.
A mixture of joy and terror filled her, knowing the consequences of this forbidden union. Zeus would be furious, his pride wounded by the knowledge that his wife carried another man's offspring. There would be repercussions, retribution - but Hera couldn't bring herself to care.
For the first time in centuries, she felt alive. Loved. Whole.
