Mera and Kaldur were talking quietly trying not to wake him.

"He will make a fine king my queen." Kaldur said quietly.

"I know my son. I worry for the child's well-being." Mera said softly as she looked at the crib.

"My queen I will protect him as I would you, Orm, Annex, and the surface world. With my life." Kaldur explained.

"I have no doubt. Kaldur, I hope you know that you are a son to me. You know this yes?" Mera asked.

"I do my queen. I also hope you that you are a mother to me." Kaldur said while holding her hands.

"My queen, do you trust?" Kaldur asked as he got up and put a small dose of a sleeping potion in a glass of water.

"Of course I do. Kaldur what is wrong?" Mera asked worriedly.

"Nothing is wrong. Here, drink this. It will help you rest more peacefully." Kaldur explained softly, handing her the glass.

"Thank you." Mera said as she took glass.

She took a sip and Kaldur looked away slightly out of guilt. Mera quickly and quietly fell asleep. Kaldur kissed her forehead lovingly and went to the crib.

"You will be coming with me." Kaldur whispered softly to Julian while picking him up.

Julian didn't make a sound. He carried Julian out of the room through the window. He carried him to the zeta and beamed himself to Star City. He went to Roy Harper's apartment. He knocked on the door and waited. Roy opened the door and was shocked to see Kaldur holding a child in his arms.

"I need your help." Kaldur said.

Roy quickly let him in and shut the door. Kaldur sat down on the couch and looked at Roy with strange look of desperation in his eyes.

"Who is the baby?" Roy asked.

"The newborn prince of Atlantis. I want to tell you more but I do not want to get you in trouble. I need you to keep him here. I know that I do not ask for any favors. But please, i need your help." Kaldur said with a strange voice of pleading in his voice.

"Kaldur you idiot. All you had to do was ask." Roy said slightly irritated.

"Really." Kaldur asked in shock.

"Yea. You go do what you have to do. I'll watch the prince." Roy insisted.

Kaldur put the child down and hugged Roy tightly.

"Thank you." Kaldur said softly.

Roy simply hugged him back. Roy isn't used to seeing Kaldur like this He's use to seeing Kaldur calm, cool collected; not desperate. Kaldur lightly squeezed him before he let him go.

"I will call you to the cave when it is safe ok? Roy are you sure about this? I will probably hung for this if it goes wrong and you could go to jail." Kaldur explained worriedly.

"You helped me how may times in the past couple months? I at least owe you. Tell me what's going on?" Roy said in a strange soft voice.

Kaldur sat down on the couch, gently gather Julian in his arms and began to explain the situation.
