Creon's son was Haimon.
Haimon's main concern is that he be with antigone and that his father would let them be. Creon main concern is that haimon and antigone does not get married.
Not being able to stop the death of Antigone is the reason why Theban King Creon is unable to stop the tragedy in the play. He understands that he and his family are doomed if he doesn't reverse his previous actions. He's able to get the dead body of his nephew Polyneices buried. But he doesn't get to the cave in time to stop his niece Antigone's suicide. Her suicide inspires the successive suicides of Creon's son Haimon and Creon's wife Theban Queen Eurydice.
Haemon is Antigone's betrothed, and loves her. In spite of his father Creon's contempt and opposition of Antigone, he supports her decision to bury her brother Polyneices and is aware of the situation in Thebes: the citizens also support Antigone's decision, although they are too terrified to betray their emotions to King Creon. He even attempts to defend Antigone to Creon, but is ignored. In the end, Haemon's love for Antigone is what causes him to commit suicide after finding her dead body.
Creon makes the decision that honoring Polyneices in any way would be dangerous for Thebes, so he makes the edict forbidding the burial. When he finds out that Antigone has broken the edict, he makes another choice-to enforce the edict, despite the citizens' suspicion that he is wrong. Creon must face the consequences when first Antigone, then Haimon, and finally Eurydice die, each at their own hand.

Haimon, Creon's son.
Haimon does
Creon is father to Haimon and is Iocaste's brother. Iocaste is Antigone's mother so it makes Haimon and Antigone cousins.

The prophecy was that if Creon did not bury Polynices, his punishment of Antigone will bring a curse down on Thebes. Teiresias prophecy is fufilled by Haimon killing himself..Since Creon would not let Antigone bury her brother(Polynices),Antigone killed herself. So Haimon killed himself because he wanted to be with Antigone because the Creon would not bury the brother of Antigone.

The interactions of Antigone with Creon and Ismene as well as that of Haemon with Creon are examples of gender conflict in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the phrase gender conflict describes disagreement or discord based on or involving the roles of men and women. The description fits Antigone's interactions with Princess Ismene and King Creon as well as Prince Haemon's interaction with Creon. Creon and his niece Ismene think that Antigone's gender is the starting point for not doing what she dares to do whereas Antigone and her husband-to-be Haemon disagree.
Antigone is a tragedy written by Greek playwright Sophocles. It tells the story of Antigone, the daughter of the tragic king Oedipus and his own mother Jocasta. In this part of the story, the king of Thebes is her uncle Creon, who sentences her to be locked and left to starve at a cell, against the pleas of his son Haimon, who was in love with Antigone. Creon wants to punish her because she went against the law and buried her brother Polyneices, who was a traitor. Tiresias, a blind oracle, appears and tells Creon he is committing a huge mistake, but when Creon tries to go and free Antigone, he discovers she has hanged herself. Creon is left alone and desperate, since his wife and son commit suicide as well.
