Newborn children grow very fast, almost changing day by day.
After Shawn and Mira spent a month in a flurry of activity, they compared the photos from before and discovered that the three little ones had grown several sizes.
The eldest's physique was still leading, though the gap wasn't as large as when they were born; he ate fiercely when eating, slept soundly when sleeping, and even cried loudly and decisively.
The second was catching up, though he didn't have much extra weight, appearing lean and long overall; he was the most lively and active, not even forgetting to kick his legs while sleeping, and most of the babbling sounds came from him.
The third had the most significant change; he was truly quite thin and small at birth, but after a month of feeding, he grew rapidly. This little guy was rather aloof, neither causing big scenes like his big brother nor being as active as his second brother, often rolling his eyes around to observe everything.
Shortly after the full-month mark, each of the three awakened an ability.
[Please note, family member Alexander has awakened the ability: Super Physique (Bronze) · LV0.]
[Please note, family member Benjamin has awakened the ability: Super Healing (Bronze) · LV0.]
[Please note, family member Christopher has awakened the ability: Super Senses (Bronze) · LV0.]
Because they were still small, the children's abilities were concealed.
But Shawn and his wife dared not let others take care of them anymore. When Old Jonathan held Alexander, he was excited but almost had his arm snapped by the little guy.
When Aunt's eldest son, Ignaz Connelly, tried to amuse Christopher, he also felt a chill in his heart from the little one's vivid gaze.
In Ignaz's words: "You must have given birth to a genius, or a monster, no joke! I feel like little Chris looks at me with more wisdom than my father!"
Before the children had enough self-awareness, the couple decided to reduce contact between others and the children, as that would be better for the life and health of others.
Setting aside special abilities.
Overall, the three babies were not the type that was particularly difficult to raise.
Shawn and Mira originally thought they had found the rhythm of getting along with them, but they didn't expect that by the second month, the situation was completely different.
As they developed and grew, the children started to become increasingly lively, no longer the way they were before, sleeping when full and eating when hungry; the time they spent crying and fussing was also significantly more than before.
"Is something uncomfortable?"
Faced with this situation, the two were a bit confused.
They had done their homework before the children were born and knew this might be the so-called fussy period.
But Superman's children were, after all, different from ordinary people.
Were they really that fragile?
Children in ordinary families, at two months old, would have issues like gas or colic due to the development and adaptation of their digestive system, requiring gas-relief exercises or lying on their stomachs to alleviate it.
Their crying was precisely because of this.
Little Supermen didn't have this problem; their digestive ability was very strong from the start, and their body strength was far beyond ordinary children.
Even if they didn't eat Mothers Milk now, they could probably eat beef stuffed into their mouths with gusto, it was just that the two hadn't really done that.
Moreover, at only two months old, the three little ones started to frequently lift their heads, eat their hands, and try to roll over; they spent more and more time awake observing the world.
Later, Shawn and his wife realized that the reason they were crying was for an extremely simple reason.
One day, when Alexander was throwing a tantrum again, Shawn tried everything he could but couldn't solve it. Finally, out of options, he gently touched his little head to comfort him.
"I'm calling you Dad, do you dare to answer..."
"Wugu~"
Unexpectedly, it worked; the little guy's crying stopped immediately, and a look of extreme comfort appeared on his little face.
"Alright, so it's because you feel itchy?"
Having found the key to the problem, Shawn, this newbie dad, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said to Mira: "Practice is the best teacher. I told you our children aren't that fragile; let's take the little blankets off them."
Little Supermen fearing cold or heat was a false proposition itself.
Although they were still so small and hadn't awakened the iconic talent of 'Stellar Energy', it was only weak in degree; they possessed all the characteristics of absorbing solar energy.
At this moment, their physique was stronger than an ox, which was no exaggeration.
Shawn and Mira gradually became handy.
For a period afterward, they found that when the children cried, it was either because of eating, pooping, or because some part of their body was hot or itchy.
From this point of view, the little Supermen were very easy to raise, which was very worry-free for the parents.
Gradually, the newbie dad and mom made it through the third month and finally had some parenting experience.
They were more punctual with feeding, more skilled at changing diapers, and even their methods of coaxing the children to sleep gradually became more upgraded and diverse.
Because the children could frequently roll over and started trying to sit up on their own, the two were no longer so cautious, and the days they took them out to bask in the sun became more frequent.
The two accompanied the children as they grew together.
In these days of raising children, all of Mira's abilities quietly improved by one level, reaching LV3.
[Steel Body (Bronze): Super Strength (Bronze) · LV3, Super Agility (Bronze) · LV3, Super Physique (Bronze) · LV3, Super Senses (Bronze) · LV4, Super Brain (Bronze) · LV4, Super Healing (Bronze) · LV3]
Among them, the most prominent 'Super Brain' and 'Super Senses' reached LV4.
Besides this, she also learned Superman's most iconic skill — 'Flight'.
[Ability: Flight (Bronze) · LV1, Heat Vision (Bronze) · LV2]
Now her body had completely recovered; her graceful figure, straightforward personality, were as radiant as before, and she added a touch of wifely charm.
Regarding how she learned Flight, it was a special experience for Mira.
That day, she was sparring with Shawn in the yard.
Just pure exercise.
As a girl who grew up in the countryside fields, Mira was not delicate at all; she liked various sports, and after becoming a Supergirl, she naturally became obsessed with hand-to-hand combat.
Before, she couldn't do it because of her big belly.
Now.
Shawn kept feeding her moves, but because the gap was really too big, he finally annoyed Mira.
"Dear, you're cheating!" Mira looked at the figure in the air with dissatisfaction.
She was hit in the abdomen and fell to the ground; it didn't hurt, but her emotions fluctuated a bit, so much so that the surrounding air vibrated slightly because of the change in the 'Bio-field'.
"Bang~!"
Mira caught that feeling in an instant, and finally kicked off with both legs, breaking free from the shackles of gravity and rushing into the sky.
She could fly too!!
For the next half month, the Flight ability became Mira's toy, and under her conscious training, it quickly reached the practical stage of LV1.
The current Mira was just one 'Freeze Breath' away from being a fully-fledged Superman.
Or perhaps, would she awaken some other ability?
Shawn vaguely had some expectations.
Actually, he thought Mira was more talented in learning and doing research. During her pregnancy, she tinkered with small inventions and applied for several highly applicable patents for Jonathan Company, which made the expansion of Jonathan Company even more rapid.
But Mira had a heart that yearned for freedom. She used to be the type of personality who liked to stand up for others, and now her heart for punishing evil and promoting good was even more restless.
Shawn sometimes found it funny, but his wife's straightforward style was exactly what made him feel most comfortable.
He smiled more than once and said: "Mira, I really look forward to seeing you shopping in uniform. Now, the only thing that can stop you from putting on the Supergirl suit is perhaps the children's stomachs that can never be filled."
The three little ones grew healthily, and their milk intake naturally soared along with it.
"So annoying! When can the children grow up?" Every time this happened, Mira always answered with a sigh.
The newbie dad and mom always hoped that the children would grow up quickly, but also didn't want them to grow up quickly.
Perhaps as parents, they are all in such a delicate and complex state of mind, accompanying the children as they grow together.
Before Alexander and the others were born, the two had worried about whether the Superman bloodline would make the children's growth rate different from ordinary people.
Now it seems there is a point; the transformation of their physical fitness is indeed incomparable to ordinary people.
But other than that, the process of Shawn and his wife raising children is the same as ordinary families; they didn't miss any of the pitfalls that should be stepped on.
The plot of growing up several years in ten days or half a month did not happen.
Regarding the matter of accompanying the children to grow slowly, they were actually quite willing to experience it.
Shawn knew.
Only in the Bronze stage, Superman already possesses a long lifespan of thousands of years; their prime of life will be quite long, and the older they get, the slower they age.
And when promoted to a higher stage, the level of life may leap again, and at that time, the lifespan will also be extended accordingly.
These three little ones, Alexander and the others, who now seem to have a short dozen years of youthful time, are actually a very precious experience in their lives.
They were born as Supermen, but Shawn did not want them to be only Supermen.
This is the simple expectation of a newbie dad in The Boys world.
