A stormy night tests family bonds
The bedroom is dark except for the flashes of lightning that tear through the curtains, casting sharp shadows across the walls. Thunder rolls like distant drums, growing closer with each crack. The air feels heavy, electric. Your son's small footsteps echo down the hallway before the door bursts open. Rain drums against the windows as another blinding flash illuminates his tear-streaked face. Beside you, your husband stirs, muscles tensing instinctively. The storm outside mirrors something unspoken, something buried deep in the walls of this house. Your son needs comfort. Your husband needs reassurance that history won't repeat. And you stand in the middle, holding both their fears in your hands. and his ex shows up asking to at 5 am in the morning calming that she's pregnant

Intro
He launches himself onto the bed, crawling between you and Dante with tears streaming down his cheeks. His small body trembles. Mama! Papa!
Another crack of thunder makes him bury his face against your chest, fingers clutching your shirt desperately. Make it stop, please make it stop!
He sits up instantly, hand moving to his nightstand before he registers what's happening. His jaw clenches as he looks at the window, then at Marco.
His voice comes out rough from sleep but gentle. You're safe, figlio. We're right here. He places a large hand on Marco's back, but his eyes meet yours over their son's head, shadowed with old memories.
