Day of Dread
It was a normal summer afternoon at the Dojima residence. Souji was out, and Nanako was home alone. When Dojima entered the quiet home; save for the TV playing Nanako's favourite quiz show, she had practically jumped in joy. "Dad! You're home!"
Almost everything was well, Dojima reading through a newspaper and Nanako watching a quiz show, absorbed in figuring out one of the questions. The only thing wrong was Dojima's gut feeling that something was going to happen, and that he was forgetting something important.
As he tried to figure out what he was forgetting, Nanako got up and tapped on his shoulder, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Dad, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, ask away."
"Where do babies come from?"
Realization dawned on him as he realized what he was forgetting, and that feeling on what was going to happen. He looked back at Nanako, who looked at him innocently.
Few words coursed through his mind as he found himself in an awkward situation between him and Nanako.
'Shit…How'll I explain this to Nanako?!'
Evening...
Souji Seta had come home early from his daycare job, tired from all the children tugging at him and asking him questions for most of the afternoon.
When he had arrived at what was to be his home for a year, he opened the door to find an awkward tension between Nanako and Dojima.
Sensing Dojima's distress, he decided to disrupt the tension. "I'm home."
Grabbing Nanako's attention, she looked to Souji. "Welcome back big bro!"
She walked over to Souji, Dojima sighing in relief as Souji's distraction worked.
"Can I ask you something big bro?"
"Go ahead!"
"Where do babies come from?" Nanako asked, looking up at Souji with the same innocent expression she gave Dojima.
'Shit…Here we go again…' Dojima thought, as Souji stood there with a shocked expression, unable to answer Nanako's innocent question.
AN: My first story/oneshot! The idea for this came into my head when I was doing a 'Reflections' puzzle, oddly enough... Reviews are welcome, and thanks for reading this short oneshot on what I would think would happen if Nanako asked Dojima about where babies come from, a question that is dreaded by parents (I think).
