Thank you for all of your support and reviews. Sadly this is the end of Honest Eyes. It's been a long journey but I'm glad I was able to complete my first actual story. I still favor one shots but it was fun to write this one. Perhaps I'll write another long story in the future.

Chapter 12: Age Of Innocence

Five Years Later…

Megan rolled onto her side hearing her alarm sound off; she looked to her left and saw her handsome husband sleeping soundly by her side. She hit the top of the alarm and crawled out of bed. She always allowed Conner to get a little more sleep, since he hated the morning so much. She slipped on her bedroom slippers and walked out of the master bedroom of their home. Since starting their family the happy couple moved to a house on a mountain overlooking Happy Harbor. Clark and Conner built the house together, and have since gotten closer.

She walked down the hall to check on her children. Walking into one room she saw her two year old son sleeping soundly, he hugged his superhero plush toy close to his body. Close to the boys crib was a large white Siberian husky asleep on a black pillow. She smiled fondly then walked out of the room. She remembered when Conner brought home the stray dog.

It was late in the afternoon, Conner and Megan brought the children to the park. He left his son Christian in the sandbox just a few feet away; Keira had fallen down and her father came to her rescue while Megan grabbed the first aid kit. While their backs were turned a stray coyote was approaching their son, snarling. It all happened so fast before they could react, a large white dog jumped to the rescue of Christian. He growled aggressively at the coyote, once it ran off the white dog snuggled protectively to Christian. It was the most remarkable thing that she had ever seen. The white dog was friendly to the whole family and even followed them to the car.

Conner knealed down to him and looked up at Megan. "What are you still doing here boy?" he smiled and pet the dog behind his ear lovingly. He looked into the dogs eyes and it brushed closer to him. "Can I keep em?" he looked up at Megan.

"Conner I don't know…He's a stray but.." she looked down into his bright blue, pleading eyes. Conner looked do young, so carefree; she couldn't possibly say no.

Christian poked his head from the car seat and pointed "Wolf!" he giggled.

"No sweety, it's a dog-" She gasped and stared wide eyed at her son realizing what just happened. "Conner…he just said his first word." Seeing how happy the dog made her son she couldn't object.

He smiled and hugged her. "Wolf huh…" he helped the dog into the backseat.

Taking her seat in the front beside Conner she stared at her husband. "So…what are you going to name him?"

He shrugged "What's wrong with Wolf?"

She giggled at the memory and ran her hand through her tousled ginger hair. It had grown quite a bit over the last few years, and fell past her shoulders. She peaked into her daughters' room and blinked seeing the young girl awake. She sat in front of her child size easel and drew a picture; the four year old girl had a long braid down her back. Megan leaned on the door frame. "Keira you're up early."

The young girl looked up at her mother. She had bright blue eyes like Conner, and her mother's trade mark red hair. "Momma I drew a picture for daddy." She pointed at the picture with her crayon.

Megan walked inside of the room and kneeled down, looking at the art work. "So pretty. Is that the family?"

The girl nodded and smiled "Uh huh. There's you, and daddy, and baby Christian and me, and Uncle Gar."

Megan smiled and kissed Keira's forehead "Its beautiful sweety. Daddy's gonna love it." She looked down at her "Keira, do you want to help me prepare for the party for daddy?"

Keira nodded and stood up "Ok Momma." She held her hand and led her to the kitchen. Megan began taking out some ingredients for the barbeque and Keira helped put ribbons and balloons around the house.

After Megan finished preparing the food for the party she started on baking cookies. Keira played in the living room with her little brother and Wolf. By noon Conner walked out of his bedroom, he slipped his shirt on as he sat on the couch. "Morning" he scooped his daughter and son on his lap effortlessly.

The red headed girl hugged her him "Happy birthday daddy!" she kissed his cheek.

He chuckled "Thank you" he looked around at the array of ribbons and the balloons everywhere. "Did you decorate for me?"

She nodded happily "Uh huh, momma helped." She hopped up "I have to get your present!" she ran down the hallway.

Conner smirked and lifted his son up "Hey little guy. You're getting heavy" he stood up and spun him around "You wanna fly?" the boy bounced and giggled as he spun him in the air. "It's a bird, it's a plane, no its Super baby!" he laughed and held him close as his son laughed. His bright honey eyes lit up being in his father's touch.

Megan watched the two from the kitchen. She was amazed by how much Conner had adapted to fatherhood. He made sure that he was everything his father's weren't. He was attentive, and loving, supportive, and proud. He loved his children. "Happy birthday" she smiled at him.

Hearing his wife's voice he set down his son. "Thank you beautiful" he kissed her lips softly.

Keira came running down the hallway "Here daddy!" she waved her paper at him. Megan walked into her bedroom to change out of her nightgown and into a white sundress. She walked out of the room to see Conner looking at Keira's drawing.

He scooped her in his arms and looked at the drawing. "Let's see." His eyes widened "This is amazing" he laughed. "Such a good artist." he kissed her forehead. "I'm gonna hand this up in my classroom." He sniffed the air for a moment "I smell smoke."

Megan's eyes widened "My cookies!" she ran into the kitchen and pulled out the tray. "Oh no…." she frowned looking at the burnt cookies.

He chuckled and examined the cookies "It's fine, We can give em to Wally."

"Conner, Wally's our friend not a trash disposal."

"But momma Mr. West eats like one" Keira chimed.

Conner smirked at his daughter and placed her down. "That's my girl"

She smiled and kissed his cheek "I love you daddy. Happy birthday" she walked off to play with her little brother.

A tall, slim, red haired man walked through the door; he held a few paper bags. "Hey sis, I bought some stuff for the party."

Megan turned around and looked back at him "Hey Gar." she giggled seeing his bags "I already cooked for the party. Zatanna and Dick are already on their way and Wally and Artemis should be here soon"

He laughed setting down the bags. "Yeah, but I'm sure you didn't cook anything vegan. Happy birthday Conner."

"Thanks" Conner smirked and wrapped his arm around Megan's waist. "Of course she didn't."

"Dude, don't doubt the deliciousness of a tofu burger."

He scoffed. "Oh I'm doubting it."

"Noted."

"Ya know Gar, when I built your apartment over the garage I was actually expecting to see you more."

"I know but I went on a trip to this to this place called Santa Prisca for an animal rights rally to liberate the animals. The people there were so grateful I even got the name Beast Boy" he laughed playfully "How awesome is that?"

Megan rolled her eyes. "That's great Gar, but are you working on your studies at all? How else are you supposed to be a veterinarian?"

"Dude! I totally found time to study between sit ins, and protesting." he smirked triumphantly.

There was a knock at the door and Conner got up to answer it. Opening the door he smiled brightly seeing Kaldur there. "Kaldur! Hey" he hugged him.

"Long time my friend. Happy birthday" he handed him a small present. Conner set it down on the table beside Megan's gift and guided Kaldur inside. The Olympian had gain a noticeable amount of muscle since there last meeting and wore a slightly different hair cut, as the sides and back were shaved off. "Wow, this is the first time I'm seeing your place. I can't believe you and Clark built this. It looks amazing." he looked over to Megan and smiled happily. He kissed her hand "Megan you look as radiant as ever."

She blushed and smiled. "Kaldur it's so good to see you again, and you remember my little brother Garfield."

He smiled "Yes, of course. I hear you're quite the activist."

"I do my best"

As Conner was about to close the door he noticed a black sports car pulling up in front of his house. He watched as a dark haired man and a young woman step out of the car. The man wore a black sports coat, dark jeans, and sunglasses. The woman beside him smoothed down her back dress and walked toward the door. Her blue eyes lit up as she saw Conner standing by the door. "Conner!" she ran to hug him "Happy birthday!"

"Thanks Zatanna." he looked at Dick and gave him a friendly nod, welcoming them into his home. Dick handed him a decorative bag. "Thanks, how have you been Dick?"

Dick watched Zatanna hug Megan and sighed. "Zee's been dropping hints about marriage. It's not like that's bad or anything. We've been dating for a while and she's amazing I just..."

Conner laughed "Then it's simple. Marry her."

"You say that like it's so easy."

"I have no regrets. There's something satisfying about waking up every morning knowing that you have someone else to live for." he smiled to himself. "I love my wife and our children...You'd be surprised how easy that is..."

Dick smiled seeing the look in his eyes. "Thanks Con...but if I do this...it's gonna be big...but until then...Happy birthday" he smirked and joined the rest of the party. The party continued to carry on, later on Kara joined them for the festivities. They played music and relaxed down by the beach for part of the day.

A few hours into the party the door opened as Wally hurried inside. "The Wall-man has arrived now lets' get this party started." in his excitement he tripped over the welcome mat and stumbled into the house. He looked up and groaned, then noticed the room full of people. "Awww man...We're the last one's here..." Artemis walked in from behind him, she was holding the hand of a small six year old boy. He had his father's freckles and his mother's Asian features.

"Artemis! Wally! You guys made it." Megan called out.

Conner smirked looking up at the couple "Slow as ever Wally."

Picking himself off the ground he pouted "Dude not cool."

Artemis set down her gift beside the others on the table. She looked down at her son and smiled. "Jae, go play with Keira and Christian." the little boy hurried happily. Looking up at Megan she smiled "We brought cake" she giggled.

"Great, I'll put the candles in it." Megan helped her set up the cake and gasped looking down at it. It was the double chocolate cake she and Conner had the first day they met. She felt her cheeks heat up as she peered down at the cake. She felt a pair of arms around her waist and looked over her shoulder, her lips were met by Conner's. She smiled and looked into his eyes. She didn't have to say anything, he already knew why she seemed to be emotional. "I love you Conner..."

"I know...I love you too..."

"What are you going to wish for?"

"I dunno..." he smiled "You already came true..." he looked down to try and hide his tinted cheeks.

She cupped his cheeks and looked into his eyes. "Happy Birthday."

All of Conner's wishes had already came true. He's gotten things that he didn't even know he wanted. Like a beautiful wife, amazing friends, and children that love him no matter what. He couldn't want anything more. For the first time that void in his heart was gone. He hooked his fingers with Megan and rubbed his thumb against her soft skin.

The End.

Thank you for supporting me, everyone has been so kind with their reviews. I will definitely be writing another story soon. Just in case anyone was curious I named the children Christian and Keira because Kryptonians always had names that started with a "C" or a "K" Also I figured that by doing a five year time skip it would stay with the consistency of Young Justice Invasion. I also named Artemis and Wally's son Jae, because Wally's son in the comics is named Jae and he is also half Asian. His name is also Jae because of the first flash Jay Garrick. Thank you for following me. I really hope you continue to support me.
