Arlington, Virgina
Feeling his embrace was something that Ayden had dreamed about for months and as he held her closer, her instinct was to bury her face into the crook of his neck, her hot tears stinging his flesh as they escaped the corners of her eyes. She had tried to be strong, she had tried to keep herself together but her emotions had gotten the best of her. She was at the point where none of that mattered anymore. He was home, he was alive, he was safe, and she wasn't going to let go of him if she didn't have to.

Hearing his reassuring words caused Ayden to nod her head in acknowledgement. "Good. If you did, I would have to kill you myself." She replied, a hint of a smile in her voice as she spoke. As she got more comfortable against him, she unwrapped her arm from around his neck and trailed her index finger along his shoulder then down his arm, just taking the moment of silence to get to know her husband once again. his words caused her to pause her actions and she swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat before pulling away from him entirely and pushing herself to her feet.

"Come with me." Was her simple explanation, her hand reaching out to grasp his and her gaze remained soft. "There's someone you have to meet." How their son had slipped her mind was beyond Ayden, but now that it was brought up, it couldn't be ignored. Alavair needed to meet his child, he needed to know his son, and now, despite all that was happening, was the best moment for that to happen. Once Alavair was on his feet Ayden led him down the hall her back had been to earlier and once they reached the nursery, her hand fell from his. "Inside," She spoke, her voice soft, as she tilted her head in a nod towards the crib.

Her words brought a smile to his face, a slight laugh escaping as she moved. It was then that she took his hand, gently tugging at it and leading him down the hallway. He had an idea what to expect, due to the picture, but he still didn't want to make any assumptions until he saw what it was she had to show him. When she nodded down toward the crib, Alavair allowed his head to follow. Inside the crib he saw a baby boy, a boy that he knew immediately was his own. The resemblance was striking, enough so that he could readily see it. As he stared down at the child, he felt a rush of emotion overpowering him. Nothing could have prepared him for this, for the fact that they had a son.

Without a word he dropped to his knees, tears forcing their way from his eyes. Not a single sound came out, his eyes pressed shut, emotion having completely overtaken him. He clenched Ayden's hand tightly, not wanting to lose the comfort of her touch. He needed to be close to her right now, needed to figure out what would become of their family. He had yet to tell her about his new job, the position he had been offered a few days after his safe return. It was something that he now began to reconsider, what with having a child to take care of. He was amazed at Ayden's strength, at the fact that she had managed to make it through all of this by herself. He found himself cursing the fact that he had missed the birth of his son, instead spending one of the most important moments of his life in an Olympian prison camp.

He tried to find words, to make himself speak. It took a few minutes, minutes that were spent squeezing Ayden's hand and trying to pull himself together. ”I can't believe it...What's his name?”

When Alavair fell to his knees beside the crib, Ayden was surprised. It was very rare that she had seen emotion like this escape from her husband. She crept forward, her steps silent as she moved to his side and she lowered herself to her knees beside him. As she slipped her fingers between his, she squeezed his hand, offering Al what little strength hadn't been drained from her breakdown earlier. Her other hand rested on his back before she gently rubbed it, hoping that her touch alone could help him.

Ayden kissed Alavair's shoulder and then his cheek, her hand moving from his back to gently wipe away the tears that stained his face. She said nothing about his breakdown, knowing that no words needed to be shared between the two about it and instead she smiled as he spoke and glanced to the crib. "Alavair Isaac." She replied in a soft voice as to not wake the sleeping child. "We've been calling him Isaac." Alavair and Ayden never had discussed names for their future children, they were practically newlyweds still, and Ayden never did think she would be a mother.

Despite not wanting to let her husband go, Ayden knew something that he would need to see and she pulled her hand from his before pushing herself up to stand. She walked over to a bookcase that was in the room and picked up a photo album from it, then returned to his side. She lowered herself back down onto the floor beside him, a soft smile crossing her face as she beckoned Alavair to sit beside her. "I know that it isn't the same, but there are countless pictures we've taken since his birth."
