Raising a Hero

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. Suggested for ages 14+. Raising a Hero is created by T.S. Lowe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 72

I brought sweets and new clothes home for my boy, who was where I left him, groaning on his bed.

"I did pushups," he said, an arm over his face. "Only made it to five before my elbows popped."

"Oh dear, I told you not to push it, yet your covered in sweat."

"It's a cold sweat. I don't know why it keeps coming."

I frowned at that and brushed my hand over his head, sending magic tendrils to check up on him.

"Your body seems to be having an influx of hormones. I may have helped your bones and muscles catch up, but there are other secondary traits that need time to reflect that."

"Secondary traits?"

I grinned wickedly. "Well you see, a little boy's pecker isn't like a man's--"

"NOPE! Nope! I get it!"

"Good. I'll start a warm bath for you then. A soak should help with the soreness. Then you can have these scrumptious goodies for you--and look! I even got you some nice new clothes with my money muscle. You're gonna look so dapper!"
