Chapter 26: A New Beginning
It had been five years since Ethan and Roman's final battle against Victor's organization. They had emerged victorious, and their organization had flourished.
Ethan and Roman had also started a family. Their son, Max, had been born on August 12, 2020. He was the light of their lives, and they were devoted parents.
As they sat in their living room, watching Max play with his toys, Ethan turned to Roman and smiled. "You know, I never thought I'd be this happy," he said.
Roman smiled back, his eyes shining with love. "I know exactly what you mean," he said. "I never thought I'd find someone like you."
Ethan's heart swelled with emotion. He knew that he had found his soulmate in Roman, and he was grateful for every moment they spent together.
As they watched Max play, Ethan and Roman knew that they had built a life together that was filled with love, laughter, and adventure. They were a team, a partnership that was unbreakable.
And as they looked to the future, they knew that they would face whatever challenges came their way, together.
Max, who was now five years old, was a bright and curious child. He had his father's eyes and his mother's smile, and he was the center of their universe.
Ethan and Roman had always known that they wanted to be parents, and they had been overjoyed when Max was born. They had been devoted parents from the start, and they had loved every moment of it.
As they sat in their living room, watching Max play, Ethan turned to Roman and smiled. "You know, I think we make pretty good parents," he said.
Roman smiled back, his eyes shining with love. "I think you're right," he said. "We're a team, Ethan. We're a family."
Ethan's heart swelled with emotion. He knew that he had found his soulmate in Roman, and he was grateful for every moment they spent together.
And as they watched Max play, Ethan and Roman knew that they had built a life together that was filled with love, laughter, and adventure. They were a team, a partnership that was unbreakable.
As the days turned into weeks, Ethan and Roman continued to build their life together. They were happy, content, and at peace.
But as they looked to the future, they knew that they would always face challenges. They would always have to be ready to defend themselves, to protect their family.
And so, they continued to train, to prepare for whatever lay ahead. They were a team, a partnership that was unbreakable.
And as they stood together, side by side, Ethan knew that they would always be there for each other. They would always be a team.
