I Wani Spend My Life With That Gator.

Chapter 60- We Wani Go... Swimming?

Hey everyone! It's that time of the month again! God, how many times have I said that by now, hah! This is BY FAR the longest chapter I have ever written and possibly will be the SECOND longest chapter (especially with what I have in store for later on hehehe). I want to thank you all again for how active and patient you all have been. I know it's annoying to have to wait over a month for each chapter, but I am only one person writing it, brainstorming, revising it, editing it, and publishing it.

And don't get me started on the shit my everyday life entails. College is a bitch, and this new project I have been working on has been taking much of my free time. Then again, I wouldn't want it any other way.

It's time for Luna's birthday bonanza, where everything goes wild (especially the end of the chapter.) I can definitely tell you it's not what many of you will expect, but I can safely say it's long overdue because there are certain two individuals that need to finally work together for the sake of someone they love dearly.

And, as always, I will see you in another month or so when I get the next damn chapter out, hah!

...These chapters take way too much time to make...

Zarah never thought she would be here. Never in her entire being did she think she would ever actually be here and would actually smile... It was an actual genuine smile. For the last ten minutes or so, which felt as if it were much longer with her already sore legs, her axolotl granddaughter ran throughout the entire park with her in hand, as she held onto her for dear life-one because she didn't want to lose her in the wild waves of dinos they bulleted through, and two because she knew if she lost the little girl, her son and daughter-in-law would absolutely, surely, skin her alive.

"Luna, woah, wait up! You're making me hit so much peo- crap!" Zarah growls when a dumb human man almost accidentally bumps into her granddaughter-she knows he was probably in the right, but she had a priority to always be at her granddaughter's side-causing her to swiftly spin out, where she has to catch her quickly. "Watch it, you good-for-nothing swine! You almost hurt my granddaughter!"

Zarah looks around at the scenery around her. It has been so long since she has been to one of these places. She couldn't really remember the last time she ever actually went out and spent the day going swimming. Before she, her son, and her estranged husband moved to Voldcaldera Bluffs, it was nothing of the sort-just the three of them going home and doing their business.

The more she glimpsed into their past, the more she saw how much of a stranger they were in their own family, how much of a stranger SHE was to her family.

As she was pulled along by her granddaughter, Zarah watched as many families came and went in a blink of an eye. She saw the children with ice cream rapidly eating the melting treat as they held onto their parents for guidance. She saw many kids playing tag in the smaller pools that were farther down, watching as they tried to flee from their siblings and friends with laughs, even attempting to swim away by buying them time by splashing them. She also saw many teenagers flirting with one another by the slides, some holding hands and very few going in to steal kisses for their lovers.

She had missed out on so much, and she brought the same fate to her own son. She didn't have a good childhood, with her very strict and restricting parents wanting the most out of her, and her own son suffered as she did many years ago.

It was hard to let go of what her parents had engraved into her mind over decades of mental torture in that family. She wanted to look at everyone the same now, as her son managed to do, but whenever she tried, whenever she saw Luna or Inco's girlf- wife, now... That overpowering sentiment that was beaten into her in her youth resurfaces.
