Sing: The Era of Music

Chapter 19: Chris's Guitar

A year later in the beautiful Catalonia, Chris and Porsha woke up to their daughter squeaking her wolf toy. "Wake up Mommy! Wake up Daddy!" said Luna as she giggled. Chris and Porsha smiled. "Buenos dias." said Porsha. "Buenos dias to you." said Chris as they kissed.  Later in the morning, Luna walks around the house and sees Chris's guitar. "Wow." said Luna. Chris then entered. "Checking out Daddy's guitar?" asked Chris. "It's big." said Luna. Chris then takes it down and puts on the strap. "Don't worry. When you're old enough it'll fit perfectly. You know, Ash and I loved to play the guitar when we first met but she's more of a rockstar and I'm more of a chill smooth guy." said Chris. "Can I try it?" asked Luna. "Well...I'll think about it, sweetie. Believe me when the time is right, I'll let you play it, ok?" said Chris. "Okay, Daddy." said Luna. "Look I'm not really a strict or rules type of dad but this is a fragile item. But try not to touch it for me, okay?" said Chris. Luna nodded. "Listen, I gotta get ready. I'm heading to the studio to get some work done. Come on. How about you get ready? Auntie Meena is coming to spend time with you." said Chris. "Okay!" said Luna as she sprinted to her room. Chris smiles as he looks back at his guitar. An hour later, Meena comes over. "Hey everybody!" said Meena. "Auntie Meena!" said Luna as she sprinted to her and hugged her. "Woah! Hey Little Luna! Nice to see you!" said Meena. "Hey Meena. Thanks for coming by." said Porsha as they hugged. "Where's Chris?" asked Meena. "Well, he had to run errands at his studio so it's just us girls. Ooh, we can have a girl's day!" said Porsha. "I'm in. What can we do?" asked Meena. "Hmm. I don't know, maybe the mall?" said Porsha. Meanwhile, Luna snuck into the room and looked at Chris's guitar. "I know Daddy told me not to touch it but I just wanna give it a try." said Luna as she climbed to the stand and took the guitar, only that it was too heavy for her and it slipped off her hands. The guitar hits the floor causing it to break. "Uh, Mom!" said Luna. Porsha and Meena came. "What's wrong, baby?" asked Porsha. They both gasped when they saw the guitar broken. "Luna! What happened?" said Porsha. "I-I wanted to try Daddy's guitar but it slipped and it fell on the floor." said Luna as she slowly teared up. Meena picks up the guitar. "Oh no. This is bad. This is really bad. Chris is gonna flip when he finds out about this!" said Meena. "What do you mean? It's just a guitar, I'm sure we can replace it." said Porsha. "Replace? That's not a good idea." said Meena. "What do you mean?" asked Luna. "This was his mother's guitar. It has her signature and everything." said Meena as Porsha and Luna were silent. "This is all my fault. I was stupid to touch his guitar!" said Luna as she cried. Porsha comforts her. "No, no, no sweetie. You're not stupid. It was an accident and accidents happen all the time." said Porsha. "We have to fix this before he gets back." said Meena. "I'll get the glue!" said Porsha as she ran to the kitchen. Meena looks at Luna, who's head is down. "Luna...don't worry. Were gonna fix this guitar, okay? And if your dad finds out, sure he'll get mad but he'll understand if we explain that it was an accident. Your dad will still love you." said Meena as she held her shoulder. Luna looks at her and smiled. "Thanks, Auntie Meena." said Luna as she hugs her. They then take the guitar to the living room, where they glued it together. "Come on. Come on." said Porsha but the guitar breaks again. "Ugh!" groaned Porsha. "Mommy, we tried everything. Can't we just get it replaced or something?" asked Luna as suddenly there was a knock on the door. Porsha goes to look. "It's my mom." said Porsha as she opened it. "Hey, Mom. What brings you here?" said Porsha as they hugged. "Well I wanted to visit and spend time with you and my granddaughter." said Claudia as she sees Luna. "Hi, Grandma!" said Luna as Claudia picks her up. "Hi, pumpkin." said Claudia as she kissed her nose. "Hi, Mrs. Crystal." said Meena. "Hello, Meena. So, what are you girls up to?" asked Claudia. "Uh well...we got a little situation." said Porsha as Claudia sees the guitar. "My goodness. What happened to this?" asked Claudia in surprise. "Well...I accidentally broke Daddy's guitar after I tried to take it from the stand." explained Luna. "Oh. Well, don't worry. Grandma to the rescue." said Claudia as she went into her bag and pulled out a guitar that had a whole shiny design with Queen's signature. Everyone gasped. "Wait...you have Queen's guitar?" asked Porsha. "Well, when I was about your age, I was a BIG fan of her. Still am to this day. I went to one of her concerts and she played this very guitar, while she was pregnant with Chris. And I was pregnant with you at the time when I met her. I met her at an event and she gave me her guitar, telling me to cherish every second with my family. Never take ANYTHING for granted." said Claudia. *Flashback* Claudia headed to meet Queen. "Hi, Queen! I'm Claudia." she said. "Hello there! Nice to meet you, Claudia and oh! I see you got a little bun in the oven as well." said Queen as she points to her stomach. "I do, thank you. It's a girl and I'm gonna name her Porsha. What about you?" asked Claudia. "Well, I don't know the gender yet. My husband and I wanna find out when the baby is born. But no matter what gender, my child is gonna do great things. What about you?" asked Queen. "Well, my husband and I have some struggles in our relationship. He's trying to run a business but it's almost like he's leaning towards the business more than us." explained Claudia. "Oh. Well, does your husband show care for you?" asked Queen as Claudia nodded. "Then there is still light in your relationship. Even if he's running a business, he must know that family is important and to have love ones. You two might have your differences but if you both come together and work things out, then things will work out in the end." said Queen as Claudia smiled. "Thank you, ma'am." she replied as Queen responded with a nod. "Here...I would like for you to have this." said Queen as she gave her the guitar. "Wait...your giving me your guitar?" asked Claudia as Queen signed it. "Yup. It's yours now." said Queen. "But I shouldn't. What if your child would want to try it?" asked Claudia. "Well...you have a point but you seem like a really sweet person and a dedicated person. I think your gonna make a great mom to your soon to be born daughter. And besides if my child is interested in playing music, I'll just buy him one." said Queen as Claudia smiled and takes it. "Thank you, ma'am. I am extremely grateful." said Claudia as they shook hands. "We should keep in touch sometime, Claudia. Good luck with your child." said Queen. "Good luck to you as well! Thank you so much. Can I take a picture?" asked Claudia. "Of course." said Queen as they took a few pictures together. *Flashback end* "Wow!" said Luna. "Yeah, since then I've been keeping this and when I told her that I was a clothes designer, she asked me if I wanted to be her fashion designer. I accepted and since that moment, we were like sisters before she died. So I wanted to give it to you as a wedding gift and I seem to have come on the perfect time." said Claudia as she heads to the room and places it on the stand. "Thanks, Mom." said Porsha as they hugged tightly. "Luna, what do you say we keep this between us girls and don't tell Daddy what happened?" said Porsha. Luna nodded. Soon, Chris returned. "Hey everyone! Oh, Claudia! Didn't expect to see you here!" he said as he hugged her. "Thought I drop by. I brought some food." said Claudia as she brings out containers of a great dinner. "Wow." said all as they sat on the table. "Luna." said Chris. "Yes, Daddy?" said Luna. "I got you something. Here." he said as he brings out a perfectly sized guitar. "You...you got me a guitar?" said Luna. "Mhm. I've been thinking about what you said and...I thought it would be fair if I bought you one." said Chris as Luna smiled and hugged him around his neck. "Thank you, Daddy! I love you." said Luna. "I love you too, sweetie." said Chris as they joined the others and ate dinner together. When Chris returned, he had no suspicion of the guitar. All ended well, everyone enjoyed their day.
