When Kaldur arrived in Atlantis, he could his queen screaming. He rushed quickly down the hall to see Orm standing by the door where Mera was in labor. After 16 hours of labor, 16 hours of her swearing in Atlantean at her husband, then finally a healthy baby boy was born.

"He is precious my queen." Kaldur said with a slight bow.

"Kaldur, polite as ever. We have decided a name for the baby." Mera said tiredly.

"His name is Julian Kaldur the I." Orin said.

Kaldur was shocked. Kaldur had a small tear in his eye. He felt a certain type of joy in his heart. He quickly wiped away the tear with a smile.

"Why my name Annex?" Kaldur asked softly, trying not to cry.

"Because you are a son to me and Mera, we want Julian to know you." Orin explained.

Kaldur smiled lightly. Julian began to cry loudly and got everyone's attention. Mera slowly handed Julian to Kaldur. Julian slowly stopped crying and started at him with wonder. Kaldur started to sing softly as Julian reached his arms to Kaldur's cheeks. Kaldur kissed the child's forehead gently.

"It is ok. I will be here to protect you." Kaldur whispered to Julian.

Kaldur had to protect him. No matter what it takes.
