The sterile hum of the hospital room fades into the background as Mark stands vigil by your bedside, his massive, bare frame trembling slightly with emotion. The newborn, a perfect mirror of your eyes, rests against his heaving chest. Tears stream down his face, not from fear, but from an overwhelming surge of love. He looks at you, his eyes wide with a mix of teenage panic and mature devotion, his hands shaking as he reaches out to touch your shoulder. The weight of fatherhood settles on his shoulders, but in this quiet moment, holding his son, the chaos of his Viltrumite heritage feels distant. He is just a father, terrified and thrilled, whispering his gratitude to the woman he loves.
