JJ (Jasmine James) POV: Age - 542
Some time later my baby is finally born but what a surprise to us all as we had two kids. Our daughter Tikvah and our son Kathik. The nurses hold them and greedy I make them give them both to me.
-Give me my kids. I want my kids.
They do and as I hold them both in my lap I turn to them.
-Go away.
?-But milady.......
-Go away.
They share looks but they finally go away and I look at my kids again.
-My beautiful babies.
They twist slightly and I smile as I shush them softly.
CJ-Jasmine?
I look at my dad as he enters the room and I smile.
-Dad. Come, take a look at them.
He does and he holds me as he gently kisses my forehead.
CJ-They are so cute.
-My children dad, my kids.
CJ-What are their names?
-The boy is Kathik. She's Tikvah.
CJ-My little girl. I'm so proud of you. I'm sure you'll be a good mother.
Hearing a racket outside we both turn just as the curtains are pulled aside to show my husband there. He seems hesitant to come in when dad whispers on my ear.
CJ-I'll leave you two alone but I hope to babysit them soon.
He kisses my cheek and getting up he goes away and as he goes he gives Victor a pat on the shoulder that slightly pulls him towards me. That makes him keep going to me and he kneels by the bed.
V-They, our kids JJ.
He smiles at me and he hesitates to grab them so I hold his arms out and I place our daughter in his arms.
-There you go. Tikvah loves you.
V-And I love her too. Him too.
-Thanks.
V-What for?
-You, us, them, everything. I love you.
V-I love you too. Thanks for everything and because we're better when we're together.
-That we are.
V-I promise I'm going to be a great dad for them and a great husband to you.
-I know you will.
We share a kiss and after dinner with dad we go to sleep and get ready to start tomorrow as parents.

Tucker POV: Age - 41
I am sitting on the couch late at night waiting worried. I wait for a really long time before I hear the door opening and so I straighten up in my chair. I can see her shadow walking in front of me and she freezes when I speak up.
-You're late.
Lucy-Dad?
-Why are you late?
Lucy-Is not bad but is, a stupid reason.
-I want to hear it.
I hold her face so she looks at me and I see her eyes are watery.
-Did someone hurt you? Did something bad happened to you? You can tell me anything.
Lucy-No, I'm fine. Nothing bad happened and no one hurt me but I was kind of afraid.
-Why?
Lucy-Because I was out late.
-Come here. I'm sure there was a logical reason that I want to hear and I trust you. I'm going to understand but you have to tell me first.
Lucy-Is just, the reason is so simple and stupid that I'm afraid you might not believe me.
-So? Sometimes the answer is the most simple one and not the one we expect it to be.
Lucy-Is just, we danced and made karaoke and we played and talked just being silly with each other and I remember that the last thing I did was laugh about a joke. I think I fell asleep after that and when I woke up we worked together to clean up and that's when I saw the time and I rushed back home. I'm sorry. You must think I'm lying.
-Of course not. I believe you but for the next time try to be more aware of the time in the future. I know you are responsible and organized and punctual and that's why I let you go to the party.
Lucy-I promise to try.
-Come, let's go to sleep now.
Lucy-Hey dad.
-Yes?
Lucy-Can we speak? Maybe you can help me.
-Sure, anything. I'll be glad to help.
She smiles and even though I suspect what she's going to say and that I'm not going to like it I'm willing to listen to her and guide her.

Once on her room and on our respective pajamas we lie down on the bed side by side. She on her back and me on my belly and elbows looking at her.
-I promise to not be dramatic or interrupt you as you speak.
Lucy-Thanks.
-You're welcome. So, what troubles you?
Lucy-Is a boy and it was, let me start at the beginning and I'll resume as I can.
-Sure.
Lucy-This boy, he caught my attention and we became friends and everything was going well. Just friends and we got along but then he started being...............
-Did he touch you?
Lucy-No, he never disrespected me in any way but he started being...he wants to be with me all the time and even though he doesn't touches me or anything having him all the time is annoying and boring even.
-Stalker.
Lucy-No, I don't think is that bad.
-How far is he with you?
Lucy-I have to go to the bathroom so he's not with me. When we practice he wants to always be on my team, when we eat he sits at my side and so on and I want him to give me space, my own space, but he's my friend and I don't know how to tell him off without hurting his feelings.
-You appreciate him.
Lucy-I do and I like him but just as a friend. How do I ask him for my own space without hurting him?
-Be straightforward with him and honest. Start with a compliment and then ask him for space. Come here, look, if you want I can almost go with you.
Lucy-Almost?
-Arrange a dinner or a coffee with him, just him and you. I'll be looking from a distance in case he tries something with you. Not interfering but ready to do it at any given time.
Lucy-Really? You'll do that?
-Of course.
Lucy-Well, I hope everything goes well as he's, he can be single minded.
-Single minded?
Lucy-Hmm, I think spontaneous is a better and more, hmm, fitting word. Ah, sorry, excuse me.
-Is alright, is time for bed and I'm making you break my rules.
Lucy-Dad.
-Yes?
Lucy-Thanks for listening and the advice. I love you.
-Anytime. Good night sweetie. I love you.
I kiss her cheek and I tuck her in after getting out of her bed. She smiles faintly as she falls asleep and smiling I go to sleep to my own room. I fall asleep quickly and easy.

Unity POV: Age - 39
I smile as I look at my kids Mugi (11) and Neva (7) playing together. Ever since Michael died three years ago Mugi has developed a good sibling relationship with Neva and now they are even closer than before. I feel a hand on my shoulder and I turn to see dad there.
Wy-Here, have some tea.
-Thanks dad.
He sits at my side and we watch the kids in silence. I drink a bit of the tea before I hold the cup in my lap and I lean my head in dad's shoulder. He holds me until I speak out.
-I still miss him.
Wy-I know. It gets easier but you never forget. I still miss your mother.
-How do you deal with it?
Wy-I look at you and seeing how you are right now makes the pain bearable and worth it.
-I'm not sure I understand.
Wy-Is alright. You understand, even if you don't see it right now.
-I love you dad.
Wy-Love you too princess. Let's join the kids on their game.
-Sure.
Smiling we join the kids in their game and we keep playing together for the evening until we go inside and we fall asleep inside all cuddled up together.
Ichigo POV: Age - 44
I look at how my kids train together and even though they are all very good they have difficulty on some aspects.
Prince has a bit of difficulty being delicate with his strength or any of his attacks. With telekinesis he throws too far, his lightning explodes into fire most of the time and his fire is big and wild. He's the one that has less control over his powers, willingly. He fights me like a true professional but when he practices and just does it to relax or for fun he loses control of it and he can't seem to focus. Is like he's only good to use it as a self defense power.
Jyotsna has trouble finding a balance with her powers. Her telepathy is perfect, her telekinesis is good but she still needs to learn. With water she handles it better than anything else in it's liquid form. When I attack her with ice she uses her water as knives to break the attack or she evades it but she doesn't turns my attack into her own attack. She's still quite efficient but she could improve.
Maya has the best control of all three of them and more powers than both of them. Her telekinesis is perfect. Her control of fire, although more powerful than her brother she still has better control over it to the point that she can generate both lightning and blue flames. Her earth is very powerful and she can make lava and control metal and I have to thank my cousin for that. Her attacks, in any of her powers, are not strong enough but thanks to her reflexes and agility and her powers combined she can efficiently take them out quickly.
I sigh and going towards them I call them out.
-Kids, come on, let's take the evening off from training.
Jyo-Thanks dad, I'm starving.
Maya-Me too.
Prince-Come now baby sisters, let's get changed for lunch.
Jyotsna gives him a look before she walks away while Maya walks away with him. I sigh and so I place the table and serve it for all of us.

Cyrus POV: Age - 38
I am at work just working. I work at building design and improvement. I work with already existing buildings and make them bigger or taller or add them any kind of things. I remodel them, I can build them again after an earthquake or a storm or anything that might damage it. The customers like me and I'm the best of the office because I try to find a balance between looking good and be strong and safe. They even pay more if I manage to find the balance and because of my work I sometimes travel to different places. So far I have gone to both Japan and China. A few places on South America, some others on Africa amongst many others. Next week I'm going to Paris, France to design a house for a rich family. It might be a challenge because they don't have a lot of space and is a family of twenty. The two parents and their kids and they are very different between themselves. I get snapped out of my thoughts when my phone rings. I check and I see is my dad. I groan as I leave it to ring and I keep working. As the day passes dad, my uncles and my cousins call me but I ignore them as I keep my phone in silent mode. I get a light snack for lunch and I do the same for dinner to stay working late until the cleaning staff comes.
?-Sir?
-Yeah.
?-We have to clean and we can't do that with you here.
-Sorry. Let me save the progress and I leave so you can clean.
She nods and saving my progress I start saving my things on the folder. As I check I got everything she starts cleaning.
?-Your wife will be really angry at you for staying late at the office.
-I'm not married and I'm not looking for anyone. Love doesn't exist. Therefore, I can't look for something that doesn't exist.
She gives me a look and I shrug.
-Have a good night oh and if you want you can skip cleaning my office. Is not very dirty.
?-Thanks but I rather clean it. Have a good night.
-Well, good night then but I'm serious.
?-Uhuh.
I sigh and so I go away and I leave to go home and as usual, I take a shower and go to sleep.
