What did he realize? His strength, agility, and the rest of his other stats read zero. He was still very weak, he had a long way to go when it comes to acquiring strength and becoming strong.
But he didn't allow this bother him 'cause he was still an infant. At this point, he knew he couldn't even walk. If his mum drops him on the floor to walk, he'll end up crawling or sitting there.
'I'm still a baby, babies are supposed to be weak. I suppose as time passes and I grow up, things would be different'. Aiden thought to himself.
Emma was done breastfeeding him already as she put her breast back in. Then she began swinging him left and right a little while glancing directly into his eyes. Her eyes were filled with love, the love a mother has for her child.
And with the days Aiden had spent with her, he could feel he was drawing closer to her, she was showering him with love. He didn't get to experience the love of a mother for a long time in his previous world...he only got to experience it for a short time.
His mum died when he was just 8 years old, and his dad didn't waste time bringing in another woman. That woman maltreated him for a long time, his dad showed very less concern for him. That's one of the reasons why he joined a gang.
But here he was receiving love from his new mother...he was receiving the love of a mother once again. He was gonna cherish her, he was gonna love her back, he was gonna try his best to protect her.
Emma stopped swinging Aiden, pecked him on the forehead, and said,
"I love you, my son".

It had gotten to evening, and Emma was in the kitchen preparing dinner. She knew her mum and sister were coming today, and she wanted them to eat something before going. She also wanted her husband to eat something the moment he was back from work.
Hazel had gotten back from the academy hours ago, and the first thing she did after entering the house was to go cuddle, Little Aiden.
Emma was still cooking when she heard a knock on the door, and immediately, Hazel's voice resounded,
"Mummyyyyy! Someone is knocking on the door".
Emma quickly moved out of the kitchen and began sauntering towards the door.
'It would be either my mum and my sister, or Ethan'. Emma thought to herself as she strolled toward the door.
She got to the door, opened it, and there was her mum and sister standing in front of the door.
"Mum, Amelia". Emma voiced out hugging the both of them.
Done with the hug, the both of them strolled into the edifice, and the moment Hazel sighted them, she began running toward them while screaming,
"GRANDMAAA! AUNT!".
She reached where the both of them were standing and hugged their waists, she wasn't tall enough to hug them properly. Amelia caressed her hair, while Emma's mum kissed her forehead and voiced out,
"You are all grown up".
Hazel's face was just full of excitement the moment she heard that statement. Emma's mum goes by the name, Hannah, while her younger sister goes by the name, Amelia.
Hannah didn't possess any power element, she had no affinity. At a young age, while other kids were awakening their power elements at the temple, Hannah went through the same procedure and found out she didn't possess any ability.
She had no mana core in her, so she wouldn't be able to wield mana at all. She was considered useless for a long time, but it died down later. Luckily for her, she married a man who possessed an affinity. The man chose to marry her though she didn't possess an ability...love was the moving force.
They had their first child which was, Emma, and she possessed an affinity. At the right age, she awakened her power element which was 'Earth', she possessed the Earth affinity...meaning she was an F-rank bender.
Years passed, and they had their second child which was, Amelia. And she was lucky also, she had the mana core in her, she possessed an affinity. At the right age, she awakened the Earth power element also, meaning she was an F-rank bender too. She and her elder sister possessed the same power element, things were going great…
..But the thing was that both of them didn't learn to wield mana, they didn't get to train, they didn't learn to make use of their power elements well, they didn't step foot into any academy designated to train benders.
But their mum was still very happy 'cause both of her children possessed an ability though she didn't possess any. But their dad was mocked for some time 'cause he didn't have any male children, both of his kids were females. And now, their dad was dead.
"Where is your son?". Amelia inquired of, Emma.
"Follow me". That was all Emma said as she began strolling.
Hannah and Amelia followed her from behind, and so as, Hazel. She had already moved Aiden's crib to her room once again. Each of them stepped foot into the room, then Emma pointed to the crib and said,
"That's Aiden, my son".
Hannah and Amelia held the crib while glancing at, Little Aiden, then Amelia voiced out,
"He's so cute".
"Look at the way he is glancing at us". Emma's mum added.
Yes, he was staring at them, and these were the thoughts running through his mind,
'Who are these people? Look at how they are staring at me. Oh! They must be either my dad or mum's relative'.
They were still staring at Aiden when Emma voiced out, "I have to go check out what I'm cooking in the kitchen, I'll leave you guys with the baby".
And with that, she walked out of the room. Hannah and Amelia just stood there cuddling, Little Aiden, while Hazel watched them from behind.

Emma was done preparing dinner, and she had dished out food for her mum, sister, Hazel, and herself. Her husband, Ethan, wasn't back yet, so she reserved his food. The four of them were sitting round the dining table currently and eating.
"Your son is so handsome". Amelia said to Emma in the middle of their eating.
"Thank you". Emma stated with a smile on her face.
"You know, I'm so happy for you my daughter. You and your husband would be spared from all those shame now, the mockings would stop...you both have a son now". Hannah said to her daughter.
"I'm so happy too, mum". Emma uttered with that smile still plastered to her face.
There was silence for a while as each of them focused on their food, then Emma's mum broke the silence once again,
"Do you think he would possess a power element? Do you think he would possess an affinity?".
"I don't even want to think about that now, mum. Hazel hasn't even awakened hers yet, she hasn't even gotten to the right age to awaken hers. We don't even know if she possesses any power element. So when Hazel awakens hers, then we can start talking about Aiden's own". Emma responded.
Hannah and Amelia just nodded their heads as they continued eating. Close to emptying their plates, the door opened, and Ethan entered. The moment Emma sighted him, she ran over to meet him, embraced him, and uttered,
"My beloved, my mum and sister are here".
"Oh! They are here, why am I just coming by this time?".
"Ethan, you are here already". Emma's mum voiced out the moment she sighted him.
He strolled over to the dining table, sat on one of the chairs, and voiced out,
"Yes, I was handling a lot of things, sorry for coming just now".
"It's no problem".
"Should I serve you your food?". Emma inquired of, Ethan.
"No, not yet, I want to discuss with your mum and sister". Ethan responded.
"Your son is so handsome". Amelia said to Ethan.
"Thanks". Ethan uttered with a smile on his face.
"I'm so happy for you and my daughter 'cause you'll be free from all those mockings now". Hannah said to Ethan once again.
"I'm so glad too, I can even say I'm the happiest man in the whole of the Tuvalon Kingdom right now".
That statement of his made everyone laugh, then Amelia voiced out,
"But when would this custom of the Tuvalon Kingdom stop? A man not being respected 'cause he doesn't have a son".
"I'm not sure it would ever stop". That's all Ethan said.
"That's bad then".
They changed the topic, they discussed other things for minutes, and now, it was time for Emma's mum and Amelia to leave.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| "We'll come visit when next we can". Hannah uttered.
They waved at Hazel and Emma, and Emma and Hazel waved at them too. Then the both of them departed from the house.
After they left, Ethan took his bath, Emma served him his food...and the rest of other activities took place.
