Zana: "𝓞𝓾𝓻 𝓛𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓻"

Chapter 2: "Trouble Begins."

3 years later...

The lighting crackled loud, brilliant electric lights in the night sky while the relaxing rain tried to calm down the mood.

Nathan hid under his black blanket, with his pet rock named "Rocky" consoling him, and a flashlight to read his batman comics.

BOOM!

The startling sound frightened him, making him drop whatever he was doing and quickly sprint out of his bed, heading straight across and into the room where Zane was comforting Nana because she was also afraid of the lighting. When Nathan made it, he glided onto the large bed, tossing the blankets over him. Alerted by the abrupt action, Nana squeaked.

They were relived when they saw a small quivering body beneath their covers, they instantly knew it was Nathan.

"Nathan?" Zane said, lifting the blankets.

The toddler crawled up to them, hiding his face in Nana's lap.

"Are you scared of the lighting too?" she asked, caressing his head gently.

As he was about to answer, another unexpectedly noise shook the house, causing him and Nana to scream.

"He definitely takes Nana's side," Zane thought.

He setted up a spot for him to lay down in, Nana rocking him side to side as he sat in her crossed legs. Zane being an overprotective father didn't want to send him back to his room feeling unprotected, or, he didn't want to become Garte where he had to tell his sons to "man up."

"C'mon Nate, you start pre-k tomorrow. Nana, you have a job interview," Zane said, making sure the blankets were covering them both.

Nathan was quite the quiet odd kid, and didn't like the idea of meeting new people at this type of gathering.

"But.." he whimpered.

"It'll be alright Nathan, I'm sure everyone will adore you." Nana beamed, making sure he was kept warm.

He yawned, stretching his arms. He rested his head on Zane's chest who already had fallen asleep. His eye lids dropped and instantaneously, he felled asleep too.

Nana smiled in awe. She loved her two boys.
