Kaldur went to Aquaman's bedroom and knocked on the door lightly. He waited to hear the footsteps and took a small step back away from the door. He smiled lightly at his queen and gave her a small salute.

"Hello my queen," Kaldur said softly, thinking that the child was already asleep.

"Hello, Kaldur. Can you help me with Julian? He is simply refusing to fall asleep," Mera said as she motioned to her son on the bed.

"Are you sure want me to handle the child?" Kaldur asked becoming nervous.

"Kaldur, I trust you with Julian," She insisted as she motioned Kaldur in the room.

Kaldur walked into the room and shut the door behind him. Mera picked up the crying child and walked to Kaldur and placed him in his arms. Kaldur was caught off guard by the queen handing him Julian as he held the child awkwardly. After adjusting him comfortably on his hip, Julian stopped crying. He even coed at Kaldur and placed his small hand on his cheeks.

"Hello. How your fairing young prince?" Kaldur said in a soft playful tone as he smiled at him.

Julian squealed at him happily as he placed his hand on his nose. Kaldur smiled softly at the newborn's actions. Julian moves his head under Kaldur's chin. Kaldur smile brighten and cradled the child in his arms.

"Julian is quite fond of you Kaldur," Mera said with a small chuckle with a smile.

"It would appear so. My queen, I am truly sorry for the grievances I have caused. I only wanted to keep the child safe," Kaldur explained while looking shamefully at his queen.

"Kaldur, my son, I know that. I know that your intentions were true. I am sorry that I strike at you. I was filled with so much anger and frustration. I could not bear the idea of losing my child. I consider you to be my child just as much as Julian is. When you were in the hospital, a-and the doctors told us that you were not going to survive, I could not take it. I-I as a mother could not bear the thought of losing my child. I could not bear the thought of my child thinking that I have animosity toward them before they passed," Mera explained full heartedly as tears formed in her emerald eyes.

Kaldur carefully placed the child on the pillows of the bed and went to hugs his queen tightly. She was the only mother figure he had left in this world. It broke his heart to see her so broken.

"My queen, I could never in a thousand years hold any sort of animosity towards you. Never. You took care of me after the hardship I have suffered. You raised me. You trained me for all these years. The animosity you held towards me was not out of pure rage. It was broken hearted and worried raged. I took away your child; your first child my queen. It is only natural to feel a certain rage toward the person that took your child away. It is okay my queen. Do not fret over what can not be changed," Kaldur explained while he rubbed her back soothingly.

"You are wrong when you said that Julian is my first child. You were my first child, Kaldur. We may not share the same blood, but you are always going to my first son," Mera corrected while hugging him back tightly.

They stayed in that embrace for several long seconds until Julian started to make small gurgling sounds. Mera giggled softly, goes to him, and holds him to her chest. Kaldur and Mera talked to each softly about his team and several other political topics before Kaldur took his leave. He had one last thing to take care of before retiring for the night. He found Roy on the balcony looking over the view of the earth. He walked behind him and stood next to him.

"Beautiful view," Kaldur said nonchalantly.

"It is. Better than the one in my apartment," Roy chuckled to him.

"I only have one question," Kaldur said to keep his eyes on the earth.

"That being?" Roy asked.

"Why?" Kaldur asked turning his head to face him.

"Why what?" Roy asked not turning his head to look at Kaldur.

"Why did you help me? You could have lost everything if this went wrong. Why did you sacrifice everything to help me?" Kaldur explained with his voice changing into a soft tone.

"You are worth losing everything," Roy said as he turned to head and leaned in close to him.

Kaldur made a small sound of shock but didn't move an inch. He simply smiled. When Roy pulled back, he places a small hand on his cheek.

"We need to talk about this," Kaldur whispered softly.

"Yeah. How about I come and get you tomorrow for coffee?" Roy whispered not wanting to break the silence.

"Until then," Kaldur smirked softly and leaned in gently.

Roy leaned in gently before taking his leave. All that was left was Kaldur and the perfect view.
