Chapter 251 The Birth of Godfather Hawke

Chapter 251 The Birth of Godfather Hawke (First Update!)

Felicia Hardy, looking somewhat tired but radiant with happiness, held her newborn son with Peter Parker in her arms.

Hawke and Gwen stood by the bed watching.

The little guy is tiny, but his eyes are very much like Felicia's, perfectly inheriting Felicia's signature gray-blue eyes with a hint of haziness.

Its head was covered with a layer of fine, silky, white and pale gold down.

no doubt.

This is also inherited from Felicia.

The answer is that Peter's hair is black; he doesn't have the blonde gene, while Felicia's hair is pure blonde.

Gwen stared intently at the tiny figure nestled quietly in Felicia's arms: "Wow, so cute."

Felicia smiled as she looked at Gwen.

Do you have any plans?

"Yes, I have."

Gwen looked at Felicia and said with a smile, "Two sons and a daughter, this is the family I plan for."

Just like Dad and Mom, they also had two sons and one daughter.

Gwen is very happy.

and so……

She wanted to continue this happiness.

Hawke then looked at Peter, who was standing across the bed, gently touching his son's head: "Have you named him yet?"

Peter nodded.

"Book!"

"..."

Hawke raised an eyebrow: "Your uncle's name?"

Peter nodded: "Yes, Uncle Ben taught me a lesson when I was lost, so my son is named Ben."

If someone in the Eastern Kingdom uses an elder's name as their son's name, then it can only be said that they are treating the elder as their son.

But in the federal government.

Let's say that.

If Hawke's future son were named George, George would not be angry; on the contrary, he would be very happy.

For George, Hawke using his name was not an insult, but rather a sign of respect.

but……

It's impossible for George to be George.

Hawke thought to himself, then looked at the child in Felicia's arms, and said to Peter, "So, Ben Parker?"

Peter was just about to speak.

Lying in bed holding little Parker, Felicia looked at Hawke and said, "His full name is Ben Hawke Parker."

Hawke paused slightly after hearing this and looked at Felicia.

Felicia smiled and said, "Peter wants you to be Ben's godfather."

Upon hearing this, Hawke looked at Peter.

Peter smiled sheepishly.

Hawke smiled and said, "Of course, it's my pleasure."

He never expected Peter to use his name as his son's middle name.

one more time.

In the federal system, using the name of an elder or friend as one's son's name and middle name is not considered treating the elder or friend like a son, but rather a sign of respect for the elder and an appreciation for the friendship between friends.

Not to mention that Peter not only used his name as his son's middle name, but also wanted him to be Ben's godfather.

Godfather and godfather are not the same.

Godfather is just someone I listen to.

However, the godfather is formally appointed during the baby's baptism ceremony, and the godfather is usually a friend whom the baby's parents trust and respect very much.

Typically, godfathers should also be baptized, because their primary responsibility is to guide their godsons in their religious beliefs.

Hawke was baptized.

He was abandoned at the church entrance when he was still an infant, so even if he didn't want to, he couldn't change that fact.

But once again.

His belief in God did not conflict with his desire to enter Heaven.

In a word.

Entering Heaven doesn't mean he doesn't believe in God; it just means that God takes turns, and it's his turn soon.

Anyway...

A godfather is not only a guide to his son's faith, but also a witness and guarantor of the rituals.

Simply put.

Baptism is not something you can just do whenever you want; it requires a voucher from someone who has been baptized before.

and so……

Hawke thought for a moment, then looked at Peter: "I'll go back and find the priest at St. Mark's Church later to check the baptism time."

There are different levels of churches where baptisms are performed.

St. Mark's Church, with its long history, may not be the best baptismal church, but it is definitely one of the top churches in Manhattan.

The most important thing.

Hawke then smiled at Felicia and said, "Wow, my godson, I'll have to think carefully about what kind of gift to give him at his baptism."

Felicia smiled and said, "Yes, you should really think about it, Hawke. After all, that's what I'm after."

Upon hearing this, Peter looked at Hawke.

"Hawk, she's just kidding..."

"Peter..."

Hawke, seeing Peter hurriedly explaining, quickly interrupted him, smiling at Peter: "Please, relax. Today is your big day. You have a son, and I have a godson. Congratulations, Peter."

Upon hearing this, Peter looked at Felicia and his infant son, and smiled shyly.

Hawke and Gwen stayed at the hospital a little longer. After Ben Hawke Parker yawned and fell asleep, they hugged Peter and Felicia again before leaving. After leaving the hospital...

Gwen looked at Hawke with some curiosity: "Weren't you planning to tell Peter that I got my PhD and make him envious?"

Hawke started the car and drove toward Palm Street.

Not today!

"Today should be a happy day for Peter."

"He deserves this day too."

Hawke glanced at Gwen sideways.

Today is also a happy day for him.

It wasn't because Peter asked him to be Ben Hawke Parker's godfather, but because he changed the Spider-Woman's originally tragic life.

This gave him a sense of accomplishment.

It wasn't the sense of accomplishment from improving one's own abilities, but rather a strange, inexplicable sense of satisfaction that came from deep within one's heart.

Gwen smiled, and upon hearing Hawke's words, she thought of Peter, whose parents had passed away and whose Uncle Ben had also died. She assumed Hawke was referring to this and nodded in agreement.

"Hawk."

"Ah."

"You are actually a very kind person."

"I know."

Upon hearing this, Hawke glanced sideways at Gwen, who was watching him with a smile, and replied with a smile.

He also consistently maintained that he was a kind person.

To be honest, although Hawke has killed many people since his debut, he can honestly say that he has never killed a single innocent passerby.

In almost every battle, he tries to avoid cities and crowds as much as possible.

Without exception.

Unlike those superheroes who seem to just go wherever there are crowds, they don't.

Hawke, however, is different.

This might be because he had been caught in the rain before, so he chose to hold an umbrella for those who came after him.

and so!
Ok.

He is very kind.

After returning to Palm Street, Hawke and Gwen did not go home immediately. Instead, they got out of the car when they passed by St. Mark's Church, found the priest there, and inquired about the availability of baptisms.

Cathedrals like St. Mark's Cathedral have a baptism almost every day, and some parents even start making reservations while they are pregnant.

Because baptism also has a time limit.

Baptism is usually arranged within a few weeks or three months after a baby's birth, because the earlier the baptism, the more likely the newborn baby will receive God's forgiveness for original sin.

After reviewing the list of scheduled baptisms, the priest, knowing that Hawke was a major client of the church, chose April 25th as the date for his baptism.

After making a donation to St. Mark's Church, Hawke left the church and called Peter to let him know.

As the parents of the infant, Peter and Felicia needed to attend a pre-baptism preparation course.

Hawke doesn't need it.

He's a member of the St. Paul's Church choir; he could start preaching without any training, let alone baptism.

no way.

Born an orphan with a younger sister, he made a living at the church, and all he could do was try his best to appear devout.

Just like Samael, who did not become Lucifer the Dawn, he was the most devout one before God.

After hanging up the phone, Hawke raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Gwen beside him: "Do you think Peter is short of money, so he made me his son's godfather so that I could pay for my godson's baptism?"

Sacraments are actually free; there are no fees required.

After all, baptism is sacred.

However, churches need to have operating costs, and supporting a church cannot be called charging fees, but only donations.

The operating cost of a sacrament at St. Mark's Basilica is approximately two thousand.

Upon hearing this, Gwen chuckled, opened the car door, and looked at Hawke walking to the driver's seat. As she got in, she said, "It's a godfather's responsibility to baptize his godson. You can choose not to be Ben Hawke Parker's godfather."

After closing the car door, Hawke smiled slightly and looked at Gwen: "That won't do. The Hawke of Ben Hawke Parker is my Hawke. Only I can be his godfather. No one else is qualified."

The main reason is Peter.

As he has always said, of the three versions of Spider-Man, his favorite is the original Spider-Woman.

and so……

Hawke restarted the car and looked at Gwen: "So, what gift do you think I should give my godson?"

Gwen glanced at Hawke's expression and smiled.

"You already have an idea, don't you?"

"Yes."

Hawke nodded. After Peter said he wanted Hawke to be his son's godfather, Hawke already had a general idea of what the gift should be.

Gwen was a little curious.

"what gift?"

"Yes……"

Just as Hawke was about to speak, Gwen's phone rang abruptly.
