Natalia

I found myself lying in bed tossing and turning. Anxiously waiting for Callum to return and march into the room telling me he's home safe and in one piece. I tried everything to ease the nerves from showering to tea and nothing had helped.

The time on my phone changed slowly and the hours seemed to drag on. "01:30 AM" I sighed as I flipped over. Callum and my brother's are all capable of handling this task. In and Out they said. Yet something felt extremely off.

Finally not being able to take it anymore I threw off my blankets and changed into something much warmer and went to check on Zoey before heading downstairs to living room. I grabbed the grey throw blanket off the couch and sat down with a book to read but my mind was too distracted that I ended up calling the one person who knows best about  the job at hand, he picked up after the 1st ring, "Natalia is everything alright?" Papa asked. "I can't sleep papa, I'm too worried" I sighed.

I could hear a small smile form on him as he responded, "Its the first job you're not on, and I'm assuming it's the first where your husband has had to handle while you two are together now" he chuckled. "Your husband and brothers can handle themselves better than anyone we know. They'll be back before we know it." He saif. "What are you doing up papa? Its late" I asked as my nerves began to unravel a bit, "waiting for your mother and Angel to board the plane" he chuckled, "We're headed back to California to drop Angel off first thing tomorrow at his school's dorm. Get some rest Natalia, They'll be back before you know it." He reassured me. "Good-night papa, tell mama and Angel I say Hi." I smiled as I hung up the call. The small conversation we had, had me at ease now, and my eyes finally began to feel heavy as sleep began to finally come to me.
