Chapter 28: The Next Generation
As Max grew older, Ethan and Roman couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. They had taught him everything they knew, and he had become a skilled fighter in his own right.
But as they watched Max train, Ethan and Roman knew that it was time to start thinking about the future. They had built a life together, a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure.
And now, they wanted to make sure that Max had the same opportunities. They wanted to make sure that he had a bright future ahead of him.
"Max, we need to talk," Ethan said, as they sat down together in the living room.
Max looked up at them curiously. "What's up, Dad?" he asked.
Ethan smiled. "We're proud of you, Max. You've become a skilled fighter, and we know you have a bright future ahead of you."
Roman nodded in agreement. "But we also know that there's more to life than just fighting. We want to make sure you have the opportunity to pursue your passions, to follow your dreams."
Max's eyes lit up with excitement. "Really? What kind of opportunities?" he asked.
Ethan smiled. "We've been thinking about starting a new program, one that will help young people like you develop their skills and pursue their passions."
Roman nodded. "We want to create a community center, a place where young people can come together to learn, to grow, and to support each other."
Max's face lit up with excitement. "That sounds amazing! Can I help?" he asked.
Ethan and Roman smiled at each other. "We'd love your help, Max," Ethan said.
And with that, the three of them began to make plans for the new community center. They spent hours brainstorming, coming up with ideas and making lists.
As they worked together, Ethan and Roman couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. They were building a legacy, one that would last for generations to come.
And as they looked at Max, they knew that they had made the right decision. They were creating a bright future for him, one that was filled with love, laughter, and adventure.
