Nate was sat watching tv with his 2 year old son Matthew on the phone to you whilst his 13 year old daughter Anna was upstairs occupying herself.
Anna was growing up, becoming more distant, wanting to hang out with her friends more, staying in her bedroom more often, being moody, just changing in general.
You had gone away for the weekend with your friends like a girly weekend in Paris which Nate had insisted you go, then as you both were talking you asked him to check on Anna just incase there is anything wrong,
"Anna sweetie you okay?" he spoke through the bedroom door whilst holding Matthew
"dad just go away" she sobbed
he carefully placed Matthew in his play pen with his toys as he tried to open the door
"Anna let me in baby" he asked again feeling a knot form in his stomach that he felt whenever he heared his children cry
"I need mum" she cried " i need her now dad"
"i know honey but open the door, let me try and help"
you spoke again explaining to him what was possibly the reason why she was crying, Nate suddenly felt awkward feeling bad that she was in this state without the help of you
"i dont know how to help with that babe, she wont even let me in her room for crying out loud!"
"Nate!" you scowled
"sorry bad choice of words"
"one sec i'll text her, Nate trust me she needs you right now okay, just do what you do for me okay"
he sighed "okay i'll talk later baby bye"
"Anna let me in please, i know whats wrong i can help you i know mum is the best person for this and i know you need her but im here, sorry"
she slowly opened the door looking up at him her mascara down her cheeks and tears still streaming down her face.
"Come here sweetie" he opened his arms and she cuddled into his arms sobbing into his chest "shh come one baby calm down you're okay"
she finally calmed down and Nate went to collect the supplies form the bathroom .
"Your mum said she already showed you how to use these.." Nate stuttered handing the pads over to her "do you need anything else Anna?"
"Can you cuddle with me daddy?" she asked reminding him of the times when she was Matthew's age and wanted his cuddles.
"Of course" he replied, as she went cleaned herself up in the bathroom
A few minutes later she was snuggled up into Nate's chest fast asleep and he soon posted a picture with the caption "Never too old for cuddles with my babygirl😘"
