The Ultimate Soldier

Chapter 24: Building a Family

It was a quiet evening at the Jenner household. The family had retired to their respective rooms after another day filled with laughter, discussions, and shared moments. Simon and Gigi sat on their bed, basking in the silence of the night. The faint glow of the city lights seeped through the curtains, casting a soft ambiance in their bedroom.

Gigi rested her head on Simon's chest, her fingers tracing the scars on his skin—a map of the battles he had survived. To her, each mark told a story, a testament to his strength and resilience.

"Simon," Gigi whispered, her voice gentle.

He hummed, his hand softly caressing her hair. "Yes, love?"

"I've been thinking… Maybe it's time we take the next step. To start our own little family."

Simon's heart skipped a beat. He looked down at her, his red eyes meeting her gaze. She was serious, her expression a mix of hope and excitement.

"You're sure about this?" he asked, his voice steady yet filled with emotion.

Gigi smiled, placing her hand over his heart. "I've never been more sure of anything. I want to have a family with you, Simon. I want us to build a future together, to share this love we have with our children."

Simon cupped her face, his thumb brushing against her cheek. "I've thought about it too. I want that, Gigi. I want to see you as a mother, to raise our kids together. To give them the life we never had."

Her smile widened, and she leaned up to kiss him, their lips meeting in a tender yet passionate embrace. It was a promise, a shared dream that they were ready to bring to life.

The days that followed were filled with anticipation and joy. Simon and Gigi spent more time together, talking about their hopes and plans for their future children. They laughed as they debated baby names and imagined what their kids might be like—would they inherit Simon's striking red eyes or Gigi's stunning beauty?

Their love deepened in ways they hadn't thought possible, and soon, the news they had been hoping for arrived.

Nine Months Later

The Jenner household was abuzz with excitement. Gigi had gone into labor, and Simon was by her side every step of the way. Despite all the chaos he had faced on the battlefield, this moment was the most nerve-wracking of his life.

Hours later, the cries of a newborn filled the room. Simon held their baby for the first time, his heart swelling with pride and love. The little one had Gigi's delicate features but Simon's striking red eyes.

"he's perfect," Simon whispered, his voice thick with emotion.

Gigi, exhausted but radiant, smiled up at him. "We made him, Simon. Our little miracle."

They named him Alexander Jenner, a name that symbolized the light and hope she brought into their lives.

As Simon cradled his daughter, he made a silent vow. He would protect him with everything he had, just as he had protected his family and comrades. he was his reason to keep fighting—not on the battlefield, but in life.
