Chii- Of course there's never a dull moment. As far as my creativity I can't explain it. My brain tends to work at a mile a minute and sometimes I forget really good stuff I think up. As far as original characters, I haven't yet. I figure this summer might be my first chance.

Chapter 2

Stephanie smiled and put a warm towel on Joshua's back. He wanted to be just like his dad more than anything in the world.

"Don't worry about Daddy, Mommy. He'll be all right." Joshua said. Those two sentences were way beyond his five-year-old level. Stephanie knew that her son was different than other kids. He would be for his entire life and it was more than just being a hero.

Four years ago, Sportacus explained that only one other member of his family had the gift that Joshua was bestowed with. That person had been Sportacus' mother. She had been more in tune with what was going on around her than anyone else.

For his young age, Joshua was obviously displaying the same talent. Sportacus had told Stephanie all about the instances with his time travel and at the playground. Though he could not come out and say anything at those times, Joshua knew exactly what was going on. There was no way to hide things from him.

Stephanie didn't really like this idea. It meant she could not protect him from some things that a mother should be able to protect her son from. Sportacus had reassured her that everything would be ok.

"Joshua, can we talk?" His mother wondered. The boy nodded and smiled.

"You have to keep your special gift a secret." Stephanie said.

"The other kids won't understand, right?" Joshua asked her. She was surprised again but the moments of incredible clarity in between being a normal kid wasn't something new.

"Yes." Was all Stephanie said. Sportacus was intently listening to the conversation, he knew what was going on and wasn't sure if he should tell her about the other special talent Joshua had.

Amanda held onto Robbie's hand. The two had been silent since the revelation of passing Robbie's old behavior down to their children.

"We could adopt?" Amanda just let the idea out. Robbie smiled and looked at her.

"No, I don't think so." He said. At this, the smile left his wife's face.

"I think that we should give it a try. I mean, I definitely had a mean streak in me but combined with your good heart and love our kids don't have to be like the old me." Robbie finished. Amanda's smile returned.

"You really think so?" She asked.

"I know so." Robbie assured her. The couple got up from the breakfast table and put the food and dishes where they belonged. Then they excited the ex-lair.

"You know if we do have kids we should probably look for an apartment or a house or something better than where we are right now." Robbie said.

"I guess so but we've worked pretty hard on the place and it looks great." Amanda told him.

"Yeah but if we have one or two little monsters running around…" Robbie teased.

"Oh so now its one or two and they're going to be monsters? Well I don't think they can turn out any worse than you." Amanda joked.

"I did some bad things in my life that I'm not proud of." Robbie's smile faded and his demeanor became serious.

"That may be true but you're not that Robbie any more. I'd like to think that he is long gone and we won't see him anymore." Amanda said as she kissed his cheek.

"I suppose you're right. I mean what could be worse than living with such a bad influence as you?" Robbie was back to joking.

"Well between you and Trixie I imagine that my girl next door appeal has definitely gone out the window. I'm not as cute as I used to be." Amanda teased.

"Humble too. That's why I married you." Robbie laughed. Amanda smiled and playfully poked his side.
