Tania rushed upstairs and caught Peter trying to calm down a sobbing Brandon. She scrunched her eyebrows. "What's going on here?"

She swooped in, scooped Brandon into her arms, and cradled him close. Her expression was the picture of concern. "Shh... It's okay, Brandon. Mommy's got you. What's the matter, sweetie?
