Aegeus took so long because he needed proof that Theseus was his son.
No, he is not. He was the son of Aethra and king Aegeus.
her son
She doesn't want Aegeus to recognize his son, Theseus, because Aegeus would then reinstate Theseus's position as heir and he would inherit the throne of Athens after Aegeus dies. Medea wants her own son, Medus, to rule Athens after Aegeus dies - she wants to remove Theseus so that this can happen.
He had a daughter named haploids and a son named Adrift.

That when their son was old enough, she should tell him to go to the rock and lift it to retrieve the gifts (a sword and sandals) that Aegeus left for him.
Aegeus promised Theseus that he would give her a son before he leaves. This promise does come through.

Theseus, son of Aethra (mother)and fathered by Aegeus and Poseidon.
Aegeus buried his sandals and sword under a huge rock and told Aethrathat when their son grew up, he should move the rock, if he were hero enough, and take the tokens for himself as evidence of his royal parentage.
I'm not really sure but I think that when Theseus returned to Athens sailing with a black flag, he thought his son died so he threw himself into the sea.When King Aegeus's son, Theseus, returned from Crete sailing with a black sail instead of white, Aegeus threw himself of a cliff into the sea, which is now called the Aegean seaWhen theseus came back from crete sailing with the black flag Aegeus threw him self off a cliff
