Xavier was an ordinary child,

but he was special. A small boy held his mother's hand and kissed her brow softly as her soul whispered, "Good bye, my Avery. Be brave." He made no noise, there were no sighs or tears. Just the silence hanging heavily in the air could be felt. Avery knew his mother wouldn't have wanted him to cry. So he tried to be a big boy as he walked out of the room to tell his father and uncle Catherine Rousseau had left the world and an empty hole in their hearts.
