Brock Bagans | Ghost Adventures

Chapter 7:

Both Zak and Brock had been asleep for a long while. Zak had been asleep for nearly twenty four hours. Of course, this was probably considered 'normal' because Zak missed out on his night's sleep.Somehow Brock was still cuddled up next to Zak in the same position that he was in the day before. 

Zak soon yawned and stretched before rolling over to face both Brock and Brianna. Brock was asleep while Brianna was scrolling through Instagram.

"Morning babe," Zak spoke, as he looked at her, his head still resting on his pillow. She soon turned to look at him and smiled as she did so. "Good morning" She replied. "You've been asleep for a very long time." Zak propped his pillow up a little higher before resting his head on it again. "What do you mean? How long was I asleep for?" He asked. "Well, you were asleep for nearly twenty four hours so you either didn't get a good night's sleep before you set off for lockdown or you were shattered and exhausted by the time you returned from the lockdown yesterday morning." She informed him. "Wow that's a new record but yes, I was extremely knackered. It was a very exhausting lockdown." He admitted. 

Zak then proceeded to look down at Brock, who was still fast asleep. His mouth slightly open as he snored slightly. 

"You were saying yesterday morning that Brock was having night terrors of sorts?" Zak began as he looked down again at his little boy. Brianna sighed, "Yes, unfortunately he had six night terrors that night." Zak's eye grew wide. "Six?! That's a lot!" He said, he was quite shocked at how many night terrors the little boy was having. "I know" She frowned, before yawning. Brianna was still tired but wasn't able to go back to sleep after waking up early. 

"Did he tell you what they were about?" Zak proceeded. "Brock kept mentioning 'he' but wouldn't describe who 'he' was. He also said he saw whatever it was standing by our walk in closet" Brianna spoke, as she sighed once more. "Well, hopefully it's just night terrors and that every time he's getting awoken by them, he may be thinking that somebody's standing in the corner of the room. It shouldn't be anything more than that." Zak responded, as he looked down at Brock once more.

Both Zak and Brianna waited till Brock had woken up and had had his breakfast before inquiring him about the events the day before.

"Brock? C'mere baby" Zak smiled at Brock, as he bent down and opened his arms for the little boy to jump into. Soon, Brock ran up to his daddy and jumped so that Zak could pick him up. "Would you like to tell me what happened in your nightmare? And who you saw?" Zak asked him calmly. It wasn't long until Brock started to panic and whimper slightly. "Shh it's alright, I just need to know what's worrying you so I can make whatever it is go away" Zak explained to him. He wanted to help his little boy forget about his night terrors and reassure them that although they may scare him, they weren't real and would never be real. 

Brock nodded slightly, however he was unsure about talking about what had happened. "So who did you see?" Zak asked him, as he sat down on the sofa and sat his little boy on his lap. Brianna soon came over and sat down next to Zak. She also wanted to find out what was happening with Brock and his night terrors. 

"He" Brock told his daddy, as he started to shake a little. "What does he look like?" Zak wondered, as he sat Brock in between the two of them in order to stop him from shaking so much. "Mon-ter." Brock told them. "B-ig!" 

Zak sighed in relief. He was originally worried that Brock could or might have been able to see something that wasn't visible to the naked eye. Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. "Don't worry Brock, monsters aren't real. They may be scary but they don't exist and they won't hurt you." Brianna reassured him, as she sat him on her lap and cuddled him close. 

"Pwomise?" Brock asked the both of them. "Yes Brock, we promise. And if you ever need anything or have anymore of these night terrors, please tell mommy and daddy and we'll do our best to help you, okay?" Zak told him. 

Brock soon nodded. "-kay." He replied. His frown was soon replaced by a smile which was relieving. It wasn't long until Brock managed to forget about the 'monsters' in his night terrors.
