She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. All of her efforts had been towards that goal. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of her unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car accident.

But this isn't the end of her story.

Her spirit is picked up by her brother. He happens to be a beginner god who needs help raising the hero who is supposed to save his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her a long-sought-after opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a Methuselah grade body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to love and baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else.

Raising a Hero

I woke up to Gus shaking me, his scowl deeper than ever and even sharper on his adult face. I missed his baby chub. 


"Do you have any idea how you look right now? Of course you don't, you irresponsible..." he clacked his teeth down.


I blinked and looked over his shoulder to see another man, shaggy, dark, but happy as he leaned on the bed to greet his wife, who had sat up and was smiling at him.


"I'm so glad..." he was muttering tearfully. "I'm so glad."


"I don't even hurt anymore," said the girl. "And the bleeding stop!"


He chuckled wetly and pulled himself close to embrace her, his thick arms nearly engulfing his little wife whole.


Gus clicked his fingers in front of my face.


"Yes yes, you've done good, I'm still pissed at you. Did you not take me seriously when I said I'd follow you if you died?"


I flapped his hand out of my face. "I wasn't going to die. Let's go." I'd done enough intruding on this emotional scene.
