Titan Part I: The Fallen Hero

Children

One day, I come home after preventing  a school bus from falling off a bridge. Rose is just sleeping on the couch. I wake her up.

"Oh honey. I was waiting for you to come home. There is something that I need to tell you."

I don't know what to expect.

"What is it?"

She takes off her jacket and reveals a big round belly.

"Wait you're-you're-"

"Yep."

I couldn't believe it. I raise her in the air, spinning her around.

"Honey, honey. Be careful. The baby."

"Oh right, sorry."

I put her down.

Our first child is a girl. I call her Amanda. We have a second child, a boy named Michael, and we have a third child, a boy named Jake, and we have a fourth child, a girl named Susie.  At first I am nervous about raising children but Rose helps me through it.

"I hope our children will grow up kind and strong," Rose says.

"I hope they don't have the same childhood I have."

One night, I am waken up by a scream. I run to the source of the scream. It's Susie.

"Susie, Susie. It's alright, it's alright. You're just having a nightmare."

I could feel her sadness and fear. I use my telepathic power to calm her mind down. She stops shaking.

"Feel better?"

I feel bad for doing this but I use my telepathic power to make her fall to sleep. I head back to bed.

Even though I fight crime, save lives as both a superhero and a doctor, I try to find time to spend with my children as much as possible. I hear about their school days, play football with them, and take them to events like the fair. They grow up fast.

"I can't wait for what the future has in store for them," I tell Rose.
