//I had an idea for an AU. In this Sophia is actually Hades, who has come up to the human world to secretly be with their wife who has to remain there 6 months of the year.

She placed a gold coin in the dead child's mouth.
"To help you get across the river Styx." She whispered. She then placed a white sheet over him. She made a mental note of the child's face so that she could visit them in Elysium to check that they were ok. She was not soft - no matter what Persephone said, she just had a soft spot for children. Hence, why whenever her husband was forced to go and see his mother for 6 months of the year. Hades would spend her time, half running the underworld (it was pretty self sufficient without her help) and being a Pediatric doctor.
She hated breaking the news to her patients' families, she wanted desperately to reveal her true form and comfort them that their child would be protected and safe but she couldn't.

"Dr Martino, do you mind showing the new attending surgeon around?" One of the senior registrars jogged up to her.
She nodded. In the early 20th century, she had decided on the permanent alias of Sophia Martino whenever she was in the human world, she couldn't remember why she had chosen the name but it stuck.
She followed the registrar and when they got closer she could smell the sicky sweet smell of nectar. Oh no.
And there standing in front of her was her younger brother, Zeus. Who she hadn't seen in millennia since the stituation with Persephone and her crazy mother in law, Demeter.
"This is Dr Melendez, Dr Melendez, this is Dr Martino." The registrar introduced them to each other. As Hades stared at her brother.
