1 A Second Son Is Born

In a white room, there was a woman of Asian descent lying on the bed. In front of her was a young man with slick black hair, no facial hair, wearing a doctor's uniform, pulling something out of the woman. A few seconds later, the cries of a newborn were heard throughout the room. The doctor, wrapping the baby in cloth, gave the baby to the mother. The baby's crying soon dying down, being replaced by the baby's smile. 

"Our son is cute, isn't he, Noland?"

She questioned lovingly.

"He is, hunnie. I am so happy that we have two sons."

The man spoke out cheerfully.

" I hope Mark and him get along while they grow up."

"I'm sure they will, Nolan, they're ours, and we will raise them both to be great people."

"Noland, I want you to name our son this time."

"Alright, if that's what you want, I just need a second to think."

The man began to think while the doctor left the room to meet a slightly balding man in a suit.

"Drake, I think his name should be Drake."

"Drake Grayson, what a nice name for our son. I'm so happy we met that day."

" As am I, my life changed for the better since."

"Noland, I want you to hold the baby. I want Drake to spend some time with you before he falls asleep."

The woman handed the baby over to the man with black graying hair.

As soon as Drake was in the man's embrace, Drake began to giggle, all while still smiling.

Noland smiled back at the Drake, looking at the baby with a loving and caring look in his eyes.

"I'm pretty sure he likes you, Noland."

"I do too. Today has to be one of the happiest days of my life. I have two sons, a loving life, and a nice house. I don't think it can get much better than this."

"I feel the same way Noland, everything is just going so well."

While the baby's parents spoke, Drake eventually passed out due to exhaustion in his father's embrace, but he never stopped smiling. He began to snuggle further between his father's arms.

Four years later

A boy was being held in the air by his father while they were above a familiar house.

"This is Amazing, Dad! Thank you so much for taking me flying."

"Of course, I'm taking you flying. I promised you I would if you finished the program for your robot this week. Though, I am appalled by how your school won't let you skip a few grades. It's so obvious you shouldn't be in that class."

"It's fine, Dad. I like being with kids my age, plus it just means more free time to mess with programming."

"If that's what you want, Drake, then I'll allow it."

"Thanks, Dad. Once we land, can we play catch for a bit?"

"Sure, Drake, but afterward, you need to wash up. Then I'll tell you a story about what I did before coming to earth."

"Really?! Thanks so much, dad, you're the best! I can't wait to hear more about our people!"

"I'm happy to hear that, but like usual what I tell, you don't tell anyone else, not even your mom or Mark. It'll be our little secret as usual, okay?"

"Ok, Dad, I promise I won't tell anybody unless you tell me otherwise."

The boy spoke with utmost seriousness. Some would think it would be comical since he looks like the kid version of his dad.

"Now, let's get back on the ground so we can play catch."

"Yeah, let's do it, and thanks, dad, for spending time with me even though you probably have better things to do."

"Drake, there is nothing more important to me than spending time with you, your mother, and Mark. You three are the most important people in my life."

"Dad, you're one of the most important people out of everyone in my life too. I'm so happy to have such an amazing dad like you. I love you."

"I love you too, Drake."

Noland spoke out as he began to land, then the boy rushed off to grab a baseball. Neither the father nor son were wearing a baseball glove; neither required one. The son seemed slightly stronger and harder to injure compared to others his age.

"Get ready, Drake. I'm about to throw the ball."

"I'm ready when you are."

Noland tossed the ball moderately fast. Drake caught it, not even struggling a bit. They continued to throw the ball back and forth for the next hour.

And so, the first chapter of the rewrite is done. I am beginning a write-a-thon, so there should be three more updates this morning for this story alone so, enjoy. By the way, I've changed plans. I won't have a schedule. It's easier that way. I'll update when I update. At any rate, I'll be updating a lot of stories today.

That's it, I'll see you later.
