Six Years Ago.

"Natalie, go get your brother, we have to eat lunch!"

Natalie chuckled stepping out from her room to see her mom looking exasperated and glaring daggers at the retreating figure of Noah.

"Nat, can't catch me!" He yelled giggling still running towards the shed.

She gave her mom a small shrug and headed to the shed at the back of the house where she was sure Noah was hiding.

Opening the door to the shed, she grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt.

"You little brat!" Then she proceeded to tickle him.

"Let me go!" Noah giggled as she continued her ticklish assault on him

Just then they heard the crunching of car tires in their driveway.

Noah bolted for the garage.

"Daddy!"

"Noah, wait!" Natalie exclaimed grabbing his wrist and pulling him back.<
