WALKER ONE-SHOTS (WALKER TV (THE CW)

SHE IS YOURS

~A drabble~

Trey and his mother-in-law have a heart-to-heart about his doubts and fears.
Adriana makes sure that he is clear about her daughter's love and devotion to him
that he need not have any doubts in that respect.

I can tell you this, Trey: I know my daughter and she is nothing if not LOYAL. When she is with you she is WITH YOU. If that changes she won't duck and hide: secrets and lies...she will be completely honest and end her relationship with you. LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY, Mi'jo: Michelle loves you and only you. I have experienced all of her suitors and...I tell you this, Trey: I know my daughter and she is nothing if not LOYAL. When she is with you she is WITH YOU. If that changes she won't duck and hide: secrets and lies...she will be completely honest and end her relationship with you. LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY, Mi'jo: Michelle loves you and only you. I have experienced all of her suitors and... como te dire (how can I say it)...Walker is...ummm: 'too pale' for her tastes. It is no accident that she's drawn to you: she is her mother's daughter if you understand what I mean...DO YOU?" Adriana waits for a response after her long spiel.(...Walker is...ummm: 'too pale' for her tastes. It is no accident that she's drawn to you: she is her mother's daughter if you understand what I mean...DO YOU?" Adriana waits for a response after her long spiel.

"I do, Sra." (He understands her to mean that Micki takes after HER-ADRIANA-in her preferences, as in her choosing Mike Stevenson, the Travis County Sheriff and a man of color.)

"I can also assure you that your woman would not crap where she eats: she would never jeopardize her career by dating a person she works with. She is VERY aware of her status as la primera: la primera Texas Ranger que es Latina; una de las primeras MUJERES (she is THE FIRST: the first Latina Texas Ranger; one of the first WOMEN Rangers)...she simply would not, the same way that she DID NOT with APD or the State Troopers, in addition to what I said before. BETTER, Papa?"

"Si; gracias. I appreciate you letting me vent: le agradesco mas que podria explicar ( I appreciate what you've done more than I can explain)....even if I tried to explain it, I couldn't."

" De nada (It's nothing). That is one of many reasons I love you, my boy: you understand our language and culture: you have made an effort to understand her roots and mores. For the first time in forever, she is HAPPY, my daughter. Micki is adjusting, that's all. Allow her that time-you will be so happy with the results."
