Sing: The Era of Music

Chapter 23: A Family Of Their Own

Life for Chris and Porsha has been going great with their daughter, Luna. She's pretty much like her mother, fun and adventurous. But she was never told and never knew of her other grandfather, Jimmy Crystal. Ever since what happened in Redshore City, Porsha sworn to never talk to him again after seeing the wolf he is. One morning, Porsha drove to a preschool to pick up Luna. "Hi, Mommy!" said Luna as Porsha picks her up. "Hi, sweetie! How's my little pup?" asked Porsha as she hugged her. "Hey, Mommy? How come I don't see my other grandpa?" asked Luna. Porsha froze. "Oh! Well...um." She didn't know what to tell her. She didn't want to tell her that he's in prison. "Actually sweetie, I don't feel like talking about it. Maybe another time, okay?" said Porsha. "Ok, Mommy." said Luna as Porsha puts her in the car seat and drove home. During the drive, Porsha was starting to fill with stress and worry. "Great. She asked about my dad again. That's the third time, she's asked me. I'm running out of ideas." she said in her thoughts. Later on the night, Chris was in bed looking through his phone. He then sees Porsha then leaves the restroom with her ears down, knowing something is wrong. "Hey, sweetie. What's wrong?" asked Chris as he rubbed her back. "Luna asked if she could meet my dad." said Porsha as she sighed. "Well...do you think it's time that she meets him? I mean, it's been a year since your father was arrested." said Chris. "No!" said Porsha, surprising Chris a bit. She then sighed. "Babe, I'm sorry, but we've been through this already. I don't want to see him and I don't want our daughter near him, especially take her to prison. After what he did to you...I could never forgive him." said Porsha as she slowly broke down. Chris, remembers what happened when Jimmy tried to kill him. He gave Porsha a comforting hug. "It's fine, sweetie. Don't stress about it. That's in the past. It's your choice." said Chris. Porsha sighed and gave him a kiss. "I love you." said Porsha. Chris smiled. "I love you too." he replied as the couple fall asleep. Ever since that day, Porsha was filled with stress after trying to figure out what do. Running out of options, she turns to the one person for motherly advice...Rosita. They both met at the park. "Thanks for coming on short notice, Rosita. I really need your advice." said Porsha. "Sure, what's the problem?" asked Rosita. "Well...over the last few days, Luna keeps asking me about her...other grandpa. But I don't want to take her to prison and I'm running out of ideas of what to tell her. Chris tried to bring a solution but it wasn't working. I don't know what to do." said Porsha as she sighed. "Well Porsha it's entirely up to you. You don't want to see him? You don't want to see him. You're not ready? Then you're not ready. Although Luna is still young, one day she's gonna have to know the truth and meet him." said Rosita. "Thanks, Rosita." said Porsha as they hugged. "No problem, sweetie. You need mom advice? You have me and your mother." said Rosita. Porsha then later visits her mother, Claudia. "Hey, Mom." said Porsha. "Hi, angel." said Claudia as they hugged. "What brings you here?" she asked. "I need some help." said Porsha. As Claudia invites her in, Porsha tells her the situation. "So that's my problem. I need your opinion on this." said Porsha as Claudia sighed deeply. "Honestly, sweetie. It's been nearly 2 years. It's been hard for me to be away from your father since we had that argument. Before that night, he was a loving, passionate wolf. After what he did, I don't know what to do or say. It's your choice if you want her to see him or not. But although Luna is young, one day she's gonna have to meet him." said Claudia as Porsha hugs her. "Thanks, Mom." said Porsha. Few days later, Porsha was looking through storage and she found a box that said "Old Memories" She then plays the tapes and watches the separate moments she had with her parents and Chris had with his parents. Chris then enters. "Hey babe, whatcha watching?" asked Chris. "Some old footage." said Porsha as he sat next to her. A montage played of Chris and Porsha when they were dating at Redshore City and to the point where Luna was born. "We had so many great memories." said Chris as Porsha leaned on his shoulder. Luna then joins her parents. "Hi, Mommy. Hi, Daddy." said Luna. "Oh, hi sweetie." said Porsha as she sat between her lap. "Are you guys watching videos?" asked Luna. "Mhm. All these were moments me and your mother had before you were born." said Chris. Luna watches as she sees the fun times her parents had. "Wow. You guys had lots of fun!" said Luna as Porsha kissed her forehead. "Come on, Luna. Let's get you to bed." said Chris. "Goodnight, Mommy." said Luna. "Goodnight, sweetie." said Porsha as she sighs. She then hears her father's voice in the tape. He was recording the moments when Porsha was a little girl. She smiled as she remembered the wolf her father used to be. She then took a deep breath. "It has been almost 2 years, he has to change at least a little." said Porsha. She then pulls out her phone and dials a number. "Here goes nothing." said Porsha.
