I'm sorry for not being active on this book. I still have a desire to finish off this book properly, but I'm still trying to figure out if I'm just experiencing writers block or just being straight up lazy-

Enjoy~

"Alright, it's like taking care of Nathan all over again," Nana murmured to herself as Zakk kept wailing in her arms. "Shhh..."

If you thought parents was now a pro after their first offspring, you thought wrong. The couples journey of becoming a parent had started all over when Zakk was welcomed into the world. They were both still new, still discovering the choices they want in the future, having a family was their main goals.

Anyways, now that there was a new kid in the house, that meant Nathan had to share everything. His toys, his stroller (which he technically doesn't need anymore), and his parent's love and attention. He was nice to him of course, but something in his mind just wanted to get rid of him.

"Mommy?" A quite voice emerged.

Nana knew who this was, "Nathan? It's.." she peered ar the clock besides her, "eight AM, shouldn't you be sleeping?"

He walked towards her, dragging his stuff rabbit on the dark wood floor then onto the the fury white mat.

"Can you hold me?" he said, rubbing his eyes.

Nana got up and placed the sleeping Zakk back down in his gray crib, then picked up Nathan. She sat back into the chair and lightly rested her head on top of Nathan's jet black hair. He looked so much like Zane.

"You know how much me and your dad loves you, right? Just because we're spending more time with your brother doesn't mean we don't love you and won't stop loving you," she cooed, kissing his right cheek.

Right after that, Zakk beganed to cry furiously again. Nana bounced back onto her legs and bent down to drop Nathan. She then bent over the crib to pick up the Meif'wa.

She beganed to rock the back gently in her arms, pushing her strands of tangled pink hair out of her face. When Zakk quieted down, she sighed, quite annoyed that her partner was sleeping and letting her suffer alone. Since he participated to bring this baby into the world, he was going to suffer along with her.

She made sure Zakk's soft white blanket was secured around him, then held him in her right arm while she used the other one to hold Nathan's hand and beganed walking to the couple's bedroom.

After swapping rooms to the next, Nana placed her self next to Zane, helping Nathan onto the bed.

Zane changed positions after realizing someone was on the bed. He woke up smiling, loving the first thing he saw in the morning was his beautiful wife next to him.

"Good morning," he gave a muffled yawn into the pillow.

"Morning papa," Nathan answered before Nana could.

The emo sat up, registering that he and Nana wasn't the only one here.

"Nathan.. its early in the morning.. shouldn't you be sleeping?" Zane yawned again, stretching. He peered at Nana, "shouldn't you be sleeping?"

"Funny how you asked, here. I'm out of service for mom duties," Nana carefully passed their wide awake six week old child to Zane. Later after that, she pulled the covers above her head and was asleep within ten seconds.

Nathan crawled up towards Zane who was awaking from his daze and rested his head on his stomach.

Zane leaned back while making sure Zakk stayed on his chest. He rubbed gently on the small Meif'wa back with his left arm while he stroking softly at Nathan's hair.

...
10 years later.
...

"Nat, wake up! Mom said to get up!" A young boy shook Nathan. When that didn't work, he retreated to throwing the covers off of Nathan's body.

Nathan shivered, the cold air brushing onto his exposed arms and legs. "Go away Zakk! Its Saturday!" he pushed his little brother onto the ground with his leg.

"Ow!" the Meif'wa yelped.

"Go away or there's more where that comes from!" Nathan yelled, bringing his blankets back over his head. He wondered how he ended up being a brother to this beast.

Zakk scurried to the door frame, "hmph, it's not Saturday dummy, its Monday!" and with that, he ran down stairs.

Nathan murmured something cold under his breath, then shot up out of his bed.

"Nathan? You're going to be late!" Nana exclaimed, coming up stairs to help him put on the Phoenix Drop high school's uniform. It was still fresh, hung up untouched in his closet until the day came where he'll wear it to prove he is a proud student at Phoenix Drop High. He'll become a freshman at Phoenix Drop high, where his parents met. Though they didn't start out easy, he had his own scenario that his soulmate would instantly fall for him and hoped it wouldn't take years like for Zane and Nana to finally know they were ment to be together.

His plan was perfect, register to Phoenix Drop High, become popular, find true love, and graduate. Nothing could ruin his day!

However, the opening to his new journey wasn't exactly what he had planned. Being late to the first day of Highschool was not the best way to represent him, but maybe girls would find that attractive. A "bad boy" type. He shook his head out of his teenage boy's fantasy.

A

nyways Nana helped comb his hair while he brushed his teeth while speaking in rapid Japanese. Soon after, the two boys went to kiss their mom goodbye, hurling to get out the door and to greet their dad in the car.

"Don't become a rookie like I was in highschool," Zane joked.

"Sure dad." Nathan murmured, looking out the windows. It was fall, and everything had changed ever since.

Zane and Nana moved away from Lover lane in search of a larger home, now that both of the brothers were starting to grow and had no use for their small bedrooms.

Anyways, the father of two started the car, only for it to not work. He silently cursing under his breath after realizing that the car was at E.

"Dad? What's wro—"

"You'll have to run to school. If you're fast enough, you'll be there to make it before attendance. I'll take your brother to..." and before Zane could finish, the little boy Zane raised had already took his bike out of the trunk and sped off.

Nana soon came out of the house concerned for why they hadn't already taken off.

"Hey what happened? Where is—" Zane cutted her off with an kiss, which Zakk didn't hesitate to cover his eyes.

"Love you," Zane said, then grabbing the nine year old Meif'wa by the hand and racing to catch the next bus stop.

Nana smiled. In a few years, she wouldn't have to care for her boys anymore as they'll be grown adults. But at least she'll still have Zane. And that's all she needs.
