Seth laid on the hospital all set up to head into the operating room for his knee surgery and he saw the nurses and doctors enter the room to retrieve him. He took on a nervous look as they began moving, but he felt his hand be taken to look up at his parents that stood near the bed. One of his mom's hands went through his hair as a way to try comforting him from the clear nervousness he showed.
"We will be there when you wake up." she assured him.
"That is a promise, little architect." Hunter told the boy who gave a small nod.
Once the doctor had rolled Seth through a set of doors where he would be receiving the surgery, Stephanie turned to put her face in Hunter's chest. Her husband's arms went around her to try comforting her over the clear fear she had at one of their sons getting surgery. They moved over to a thing chairs in a small waiting room where they had to wait during Seth's surgery. A kiss was set on Stephanie's head by her husband as she found it difficult to just sit there with no idea on how the surgery was going.
"He will be okay." Hunter whispered to his wife.
"What if something happens?" Stephanie asked with clear fear.
"The surgeon had been given a complete family history with even the awareness of how Dean is with anesthesia to be prepared if Seth is the same."
"I hate this."
"Me too. Our boys are tough though like us." Hunter reminded. "Remember how nervous I was each time they had to cut you open for our sons to be born?"
"You held my hand each time and promised to not leave my side as we welcomed our miracles into the world. Do you think about her?"
"Sometimes." Hunter admitted. "I grew up with her. My life was hard as a kid with powers I didn't understand, but Sika took myself and Shawn in to give safety and show us how to control our powers. Flair and Rood tried to do that while me and Shawn were on the road with all of the others with powers. Your dad's dream was to make somewhere safe for those with powers to be."
"It will come. He gave a place for our sons to learn about their powers and how to use them."
"I just wish Jolene could see everything the boys have become."
"She would be proud." Stephanie assured.
"Yeah." Hunter agreed with his wife.
"When the boys were born, did the ideas of them possibly having powers cross your mind?"
"Yes, it did. I didn't want to concern you since you had just been cut open, but it crossed my mind the second I found out you were pregnant. Only I never could have expected the powers Dean would get."
"No one ever could have after everything that usually happens with those containing mental powers. Jeff was the first one I had ever met and even he was young trying to stay in control under Mark's watch. You have done a great job with all three of our sons to help them control their powers."
"You supported me all the time on what to do." Hunter held her hand in his.
"I know you blame yourself for Jolene." Stephanie whispered to her husband with understanding in her eyes. "Sika has even told you that her passing wasn't your fault. Roman was being born at the same time her own son was. You had no idea that she would not make it through the childbirth."
"Roman makes me think about her with his Samoan lineage even though small, coming out more than the twins' own. I always wonder if they had mixed the two babies up that day with the rushing happening. But then I'll look at him do something that has me seeing you."
"Does it matter?" Stephanie asked and looked her husband in the eyes. "He is our son whether he only shares blood with you or with both of us. Jolene would be very proud of how Roman has been raised."
"She never even got to name her son that day. One second, I'm holding our son and then next a nurse informs me that something has happened with Jolene. I rushed straight to the room to see her already gone along with her son taken to be cleaned up. Last time anyone ever saw him was in that room where they were cleaning Roman."
"He was your son too. I know it pains you with guilt on not being there, but what happened was not your fault. You did her a favor with accepting to be the sperm donor so she could have a son."
It was a few hours later of them talking when the surgeon came out to the waiting room to talk to them and Stephanie just wanted to see her son.
"The surgery went good. We have just put him in the recovery room and he should wake up soon."
"Good." Hunter said and they were taken to be with their son.
They saw the boy still out of it in the bed with a nurse having set a blanket over him along with them ready if he had a similar reaction to anesthesia like his twin. Stephanie took the seat beside Seth's head and ran her fingers through his hair while Hunter looked at his son who looked so young and small. He thought back to Roman's surgery when the boy had look the same with him praying that Dean doesn't have to go through any future surgeries to put them back in this position. When their son began waking up, Seth was still a little out as he forced his eyes open to look at his parents.
"Hey our little architect." Stephanie whispered.
No response came as Seth tried to move his hand to wipe at his eyes to have the blanket prevent that and Hunter quickly helped his son get a hand loose. The parents stayed with their son as he woke up and when he got moved to a private room to stay in overnight for observations. A nurse at one time came in the room to check over the incision on the boy's knee with Stephanie and Hunter blocking the sight of it from Seth to not have him possibly flip out. Due to Seth being under eighteen, the hospital will allow one of his parents to stay in the room him and Stephanie took that part while her husband would go home to stay with their two other sons.
"I want to go home." Seth told his parents as his mom made sure he was comfort in the bed for the night.
"We know. You'll be going home in the morning." Stephanie promised as she pulled the reclining chair closer to the bed.
"Get some rest." Hunter kissed the top of his son's head before he left for the night.
In the morning, Seth was helped by his dad to get into a pair of sweatpants and t-shirt while on crutches. The boy got helped by his parents after being discharged to get in the car without hurting his knee that had a brace on it. Stephanie kept checking over her son while Hunter drove towards home and waiting outside the front door was Roman and Dean with the youngest holding Kevin. A bark left the dog at seeing Seth and the boy pet his dog before hugging his brothers who decided to do whatever he wanted for the day since they have to catch a flight the next day. Dean and Seth once the older was situated comfortably by Stephanie sat on the couch playing videogames. In their parents, bedroom was Hunter looking at an envelope that dated back to when he had first discovered the boys' powers.
Hunter was working out in his home gym with lifting weights when he saw Seth rush in with Roman chasing after the younger. The father watched them with a warning to be careful around the equipment and then saw Seth slip under a bench that his older brother would be unable to reach him. An annoyed look flashed on Roman's face and Hunter was shocked to see him lift the bench that was way too heavy for a child of only nine to lift. Quickly to prevent either of his sons from getting hurt, Hunter used his own strength to lower the bench that Seth rushed out from under in fear of his older brother.
"Get back here, weasel." Roman went to chase after Seth only to have his arm gently snatched by his dad.
"Roman, how long have you been able to lift things that heavy?" Hunter asked to see his son look confused on the question.
"That wasn't heavy."
"Roman, how long have you been able to pick things up that big?"
"Since I was little."
"How little?"
"Five or six."
"Five or six." Hunter repeated in shock. "You've had powers that long."
"Powers? Am I superhero?" Roman asked with excitement. "Am I strong like Superman?"
"I need to talk with your mom." Hunter said and sent his son to go play without chasing Seth.
"But he's a weasel."
"No chasing him."
An unpleased sigh left Roman as he walked out of the gym and Hunter went to the kitchen where his wife was setting up snacks for their sons. She kissed his cheek with a comment on him not looking sweaty enough to have done his whole daily work-out.
"Roman has strength like me."
"What? How did you find out?"
"He lifted a bench like it was a five pound weight. Also, he claims to been able to do it since he was five or six."
"That long without us seeing. Never has a child developed powers that young."
"Mommy!"
The two turned at Seth's shout to see the boy bolt right into the room and their eyes widened over him doing that. Stephanie immediately helped her son up when the eight year old had stopped to fall back on his butt and she tried to see if he was hurt at all.
"I'm not hurt."
"Seth, how long have you been able to go that fast?"
"When I was this many." Seth held up five fingers with a proud smile.
"Oh my god." Stephanie turned to her husband who seemed just as shocked.
"Dean is crying in his room."
"Seth, stay in here while we go check on Dean." Stephanie ordered before walking with her husband to Dean's bedroom.
A light knock was made on the door as they waited to hear him say something while trying to figure out how their two sons had hidden their powers from them so easily. Thoughts of Dean having powers of his own that they had not been aware of went through both parents' minds. When they heard cries from inside the room, Stephanie opened the door to see Dean completely balled up under his blankets.
"Dean."
"Make them stop."
"Who stop?" Hunter asked as Stephanie sat on the edge of the bed.
"All the talking."
"Dean, can you come out?" Stephanie asked.
When the blankets were pushed off the boy, his parents could see the tears going down his face and then he began coughing that had them immediately snatching his inhaler of the night table. A couple puffs were forced to be taken by Dean before his dad sat down on the bed to pull him into his lap.
"Now what is wrong?" Stephanie asked.
"The talking won't stop and I can't hide from it."
"Who is talking?" Hunter asked.
"Many." Dean wiped at his eyes. "Also I had a nightmare while awake again."
"What was the nightmare?" Stephanie asked as she went to touch her son's cheek.
"No!" Dean moved away from touch.
"Dean?"
"I had it after bumping into the cleaning lady's arm. She was in my nightmare with people all over the place in a hospital. One guy had a broken leg, but something was sticking out."
"Okay. Dean, we'll try to help you with the talking and nightmares." Stephanie promised.
"Mommy, why do I keep having nightmares when I touch people? It's been happening since I was five."
"You are special, my little lunatic. You and your brothers have powers that make you three very special." Stephanie answered. "Now there are snacks in the kitchen that you should go eat before your brothers have all of them."
The boy nodded and rushed out of the bedroom leaving his parents concerned on this new discovery of Dean not having an enhanced power type like his brothers, but a mental one that was very rare. Only one the two parents had ever met was Jeff Hardy who had been trained by Mark who might be able to tell them how to help Dean. They left the bedroom to enter the kitchen where they saw Roman holding up the kitchen table while Seth bolted in circles around the older boy and Dean sat in his chair eating a pineapple slice. It might be a little challenging dealing with three boys much younger than any have ever been to develop their powers.
Hunter slipped open the envelope that had his three sons' names on them with blood test he had done that would give results on who their parents really are. Both Dean and Seth were matches to Hunter and Stephanie, but nervousness went through Hunter as he went to glance at Roman's result. Before he could read it, a knock was on his door and he saw his oldest son standing there in the doorway.
"Dad, can we talk?" Roman asked and he got a nod.
"Sure. What's up?" Hunter asked as he sat on his bed to motion his son to sit next to him.
"I know this should have been talked about weeks ago, but at school the day Kane was our substitute, some of my classmates made some comments."
"Comments about what?" Hunter asked worried.
"Dean and Seth are twins clearly and they each look like you and mom, but me-" Roman cut himself off with unable to look at his dad.
"I look like you, but not mom."
"Roman, you are our son."
"What about grandma and grandpa's daughter that no one ever talks about?" Roman asked. "I look like her."
"I should have known this would come one day." Hunter moved to put his hand on his son's back as a comforting touch. "Her name was Jolene and she was close to me. She asked me of a favor to be the father of a child she wanted to have. I accepted because I was young and not always thinking everything over, but also because I dreamed of being a father. Only a month after, I met your mom and she became pregnant. Both her and Jolene went into labor at the same time with your mom early like we've told you. Two baby boys were born that day, but Jolene passed away in childbirth. I felt so guilty on it happening, but then the nurse put you in my arms after finish cleaning you up. A promise was made by me that I would keep you safe and raise you like how I dreamed when first deciding to become a dad."
"Am I Jolene's son?"
"I don't know, honestly. The doctors told us that you had the band with Helmsley on, but Jolene's child was too weak and had not survived. It crushed your grandparents and others to lose two that day, but when I put you in Sika's arms, he said it was like Jolene's son had gone into you."
"Is there a way to find out?"
"Yes, I had you and your brothers' bloods tested after finding out about your powers. In here are the results that I've already seen Seth and Dean's to confirm they are mine and your mom's sons. I was just about to check your results."
"Can we do it together?"
"No problem." Hunter opened the paper to see Roman's name and they read the results on the blood.
"I'm-I'm-"
"Your blood is a match to mine and your mom's own. Stephanie McMahon is your biological mom."
"Thank you for explaining all this to me."
"Never will I leave your questions unanswered, Rome."
The boy nodded and he left the bedroom to see Seth just beat Dean in the game they were playing. Seth begged his older brother to sit with him on the couch and Roman smiled as he got himself comfortable with Seth leaning against him to feel safe from danger while he was unable to protect himself.
