Tugging Heartstrings | Cristiano Ronaldo

Chapter 65

"Don't you think we should discuss this with him" Lina asked Cris regarding last nights incident.

"What's there to talk about we slept in the same bed together since our break, all is good in the world" he played it off knowing exactly what she was referring to.

"Cris as much as I would love for that to be on my list of things to talk about we can't avoid the elephant in the room"

As much as she loved Junior and would be thrilled for him to be her child she knew ultimately she didn't birth him. He had a mother out there some where in the world maybe if she hasn't passed and if he chose later in his life to find her she wouldn't want her to be in his way. Granted there was no actual way for someone to be a mother to someone they haven't met or cared for so she would accept the title if he bestowed it upon her with great gratitude, but first she wanted for him to understand the weight behind his words. In the end Cris and her were not married nor did they have something bonding them for life, so she really didn't wish for him to use the term so loosely.

"Alright you want to have the talk with him we will have the talk with him" Cris didn't want to start an argument after they just made up from a huge one.

"Cris no offense but this is something you have to talk with him about...alone" she didn't want her presence to affect or cloud Junior's answers/understands of how important this was.

"ALONE" he shouted.

"Yes alone he is your kid after all" answering him back he looked like a fish out of water mouth wide open in shock.

"How do I do this" pacing back in forth Cris was in a panic.

Of course he's spoken with Junior about the whole your Mom isn't in your life thing but he completely forget about this part. He had never taken into accounting that he would find someone to share his life with and this would be a conversation he would have to have with him. All he knew was that he had to be careful with his words when expelling this whole ordeal.

"Okay deep breaths" Lina made movement for him to mimic her and he did.

"Okay I'm good" Cris said now calmed downed.

"Great now get in there and get him tiger because we have to get ready for the show and you take longer then me to get ready" patting his shoulders in encouragement she watched as he went into Junior's makeshift room during there stay.

"Hey can we have a little talk" Cris asked his son when he entered the room that he was currently playing legos in.

"Sure Pai" setting his legos down Junior sat on his bed as his dad crouched in front of him.

"You know that I love you and so does Catalina right" he asked gathering his sons hands in his for some reassurance.

"Yeah and I love you guys more" the innocence shined through his son now more then ever.

"Good don't you ever forget that. Now what I'm about to talk with you about is very serious and I know that maybe your a little too young to understand this all, but I think your a big boy so you can understand some of it" of course he didn't expect Junior to take back his words or continue to use them but just take into consideration the value his words have on people.

"Sim, I'm a big boy pai...wait did you and Lina get into another fight! Did you guys break up! Are you here to apologize!" his little boy in a panic started to fight to detangle there hands but Cris kept them in his tight grip.

"No filho, calm down everything's fine" he made sure he was calm before continuing.

"What I just wanted to talk about was what you said last night" his son looked nothing but confused and for a moment Cris really thought he did say just because he was in a sleeping daze and didn't remember it.
