29 Keeping up with the Tanners …

Nathan

I trudged up the path to my house , my muscles aching from the long patrol with Alpha Logan .

I stopped halfway to reply to Lyla’s text .

It’s been more than a week since she left and we’ve talked every day since then .

Mostly texting and occasional video calls but I was glad she was doing well .

I was processing my application to request a pass to the human world , once that comes through , I could go every weekend to visit her and rn before the beginning of the new week .

The sweet aroma of curry stew filled my nostrils , a scent I hadn’t perceived in months .

“ Dad ? ” I called out , grinning as I followed the

“ Dad ! ” I called out again , the smile on my face widening as I crossed the kitchen in two long strides and enveloped him in a tight hug

“ Nath ! ” My father called out with a chuckle “ You’re back earlier than I expected I wanted to finish this before you came home .

“ Then should I go back ? ” he a : hed his brow at me , an amused glint in his eyes .

“ I missed you too , son , that’s why I came back and I was worried you were not eating .

I wasn’t wrong though … there’s no single food in the fridge ? What have you been living on ? ”

He turned back to the pot , stirring it once more before placing the lid on it .

“ I decided to make your favourite tonight .

You’ve been working so hard and I figured you deserved something other than pancakes ”

I smiled , feeling a lump form in my throat .

and I were buddies and it’s surprising to me because we always clashed but since he started going on multiple missions , I began to value the little time he spent at home .

“ Thank you , Dad .

I promise I’ll learn how to cook .

“ That’s a future impossible tense , Nathan but I’ll be rooting for you .

Go and take a bath .

The food is ready .
