Part I - Exile
Prologue
December 25, 1989 - New York City, New York
It was a cold christmas day in New York City. The streets were blocked up with snow. Cars weren't on the roads at all. Children were outside, playing in the snow. A scream could be heard from an apartment located in Harlem.
Inside the apartment, in Apartment B24, a birth was in process. "Push, honey, push." said a gentle male voice. A grunt could be heard from Elektra Natchios as she pushes, trying to deliver a baby. Jonathan Knight, Elektra's boyfriend smiled weakly as watched for the baby. "Good El, I could see the head." He told her.
Elektra was crying as she laid on the floor in their living room. "Push honey, you're almost there." JOnathan told Elektra. Elektra gave one more push and they heard the cry of an infant child. Tears fillied Jonathan's eyes as he held his infant child in his arms. Jonathan sat next to Elektra and placed their newborn child in her arms.
Elektra had tears of joy as she held the tan skinned child in her arms. Her African-American boyfriend wiped her tears away. "Here's our baby boy." He said. Elektra gently kissed their son on the forehead gently. Jonathan smiled as he kissed the infant on his forehead.
Jonathan kissed Elektra gently on the lips. "What are we going to name him?" Jonathan asked.
The beautiful Greek goddess thought for a moment. She then smiled as a name popped into her head. "Rowan Jade Natchios-Knight." Elektra answered.
Jonathan smiled as he heard her answer. He nodded. "I love it." He said. He looked into their son's eyes. "Welcome to the world, Rowan Jade." He said.
Jonathan got up and went over to the kitchen to get the telephone. He watched over Elektra and baby Rowan as he called the hospital. Elektra smiled weakly as she looked down to Rowan. "I know you're going to do great things when you're older." She said.
