#a father’s son

[say-hwaet]

"Do you want to hold him?"

Arthur looks up at her eagerly, but also with a flash of fear. "I don't know how."

Eliza smiles sweetly and motions to the bed. They go to sit down.

Eliza adjusts the baby in her arms to where she is cradling his bottom and supporting his head. Isaac grunts quietly and squirms in her hands. Arthur watches how calm Eliza is, so his concern dissipates.

"Bend your arms," she hums.

He bends his arms and opens his palms. "Like this?"

"Close the gap some, remember, he is little." He moves his arms closer to his torso and looks at her for approval. "That's perfect." Her voice softens almost to a whisper. She slowly rises and leans toward Arthur. Setting herself in a safe position, she gently lowers his son into his arms. Eliza untucks her hands and moves carefully away. She watches this big, burly man hold the tiny, fragile baby that they made together. It was a perfect picture for her memory.

Arthur's eyes scan over Isaac's little body. He notices the little clothes that were crocheted in an intricately beautiful pattern. He wonders if Eliza had made it.

"He's so small."

Eliza nods. "And he's ours."

Arthur flattens his lips to suppress his urge to cry. "I have a son," his voice quakes. Eliza is moved and feels a sting in her eyes. She places a hand lovingly on his back as she sits down next to him. She leans and rests her body against him and watches her sleeping baby. "I have a son."

Thinking about the JL finding out that Bruce has contingency plans for all of his kids and being horrified. But when the League asks them about it, all the kids are like “yeah! we actually all have them for each other just in case” and move on like it’s perfectly normal to have three different ways to take out your brother on hand (for emergencies).

imagine if instead of garak, ziyal would’ve had pursued jake. how insufferable dukat would have been. ahhh commander sisko, it appears your son and my daughter are embarking on a rather interesting relationship! correct me if i’m wrong, but by human standards, wouldn't that make us somehow related? i’m now—how would the terrans consider it—your wife?

just… Goro Miyazaki starting his animation career with having a son kill his father, the king of a kingdom where magic is disappearing, and run away and Hayao (possibly ending) his career with a young boy refusing to take on his family’s powerful legacy over a magical world, knowing the world would die without him in favor of not abandoning his family and choosing to live contentedly in the mundane world…
