"And, for the next 8 years of my life, I knew nothing about her death. Anytime I would ask about her, my dad would break down, and not tell me anything, so I hugged him for a couple minutes and left. When I was 14, he finally told me what happened to her, and when I heard those words, it was like everything turned black and white for me. That's when he told me he had quit being a Wonderbolt, and told me not to follow in his stupid footsteps." Blaze said, a tear rolling down his cheek.

"I cried for so long, and didn't stop. I'm still not over it, and never will be, and this is the BIGGEST reason, that I stayed by your mom's side no matter what. I ESPECIALLY stayed when she got pregnant with you guys, because I couldn't have her kid's be without the other parent. I don't want you guys to go through what I did. Ever." Blaze said, now crying more and hugging Travis tighter.

"This is why I was forced to raise Blaze like he was my own. I became instantly attached to him. He was like my son, and I was like his second mother. No mother can replace your original though." Jenna mentioned.

"But you're pretty damn close, and I love you for it. You were, and still are the second mom that I have, and you always will be." Blaze said, withs glassy eyes. "I love you too Blaze, and I'll never stop." Jenna said, hugging him too.

They all sat in silence for a while, until Louie accidentally yawned. This made Jenna check her watch. "Oh great. You kids should be asleep now! Its 10 PM!" Jenna gasped. Travis was asleep on Blaze, and Blaze didn't even notice.

He looked down, and smiled a little. He laid Travis on his pillow, and covered him up. Rainbow did the same with Louie, but he didn't close his eyes. "What's wrong, Louie?" She asked. "Is dad gonna tell Tyler when he wakes up?" He asked.

❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎❥︎

"Yes, he will. Just, do me a favor and don't say anything about this to him, alright?" Rainbow asked. "Okay. Goodnight mom." Louie said, turning over. "Love you too, Louie. Goodnight." Rainbow said, turning the light off.

Jenna walked with Rainbow and Blaze back to his room so she could get the dishes out of it, while Blaze and Rainbow headed up the balcony steps again, and laid in silence for a bit.
