A Leap of Faith (Part 2)

Chapter 306 - Vivienne's Video to Morgan

The USB device loads up on the computer, and Lena now clicks it to open it, revealing a bunch of different files, all named various different things. It's clear that most of the files are just text based documents. However, there is one single video file, entitled 'For Morgan'.

"Are you ready for this?" Lena asks, as she glances at Kara, who is standing next to her.

"No. Not really." Kara replies, "But..... we have to watch this.... for Morgan. I'm just glad we are going to be watching this together."

"Yeah." Lena says, with a nod of her head.

Lena now double clicks the video file, and a few moments later, a video appears, and begins playing. Right away, Kara and Lena can see that Vivienne is sitting somewhere, looking directly into the camera.

"Hello Morgan, it's me, your mom." Vivienne says, with an emotional look on her face, "I am leaving you this message, because I don't think I'm going to be around to tell you everything I want to tell you in person. In fact, I don't think I'll be able to tell you everything now I want to tell you in person, because one brief video really isn't enough to do all that. I just don't have enough time, or words. But, I will try."

Kara and Lena now glance at each other again, each with some tears in their eyes already from the video so far. So, Kara and Lena simply reach out one of their hands towards each other, and hold the others hand in their own, each giving the other's hand a little squeeze of affection, and reassurance in this emotional moment. Kara and Lena know the video has only just begun, and they are going to get a lot more emotional from here.

"Morgan, I don't know when you are going to be watching this. I.... have seen who your moms are now, and maybe they have already explained some of what happened, better than I can in this video. But, I want you to know, from what I have seen, I am so happy that you got to live a life in a happy home, with two women who love you, so much, and will be there for you, when me and your father cannot. I know they will love you, and cherish you, always, and you will forever be apart of their family. That's what makes this a whole lot easier, as I know you won't have grown up alone, or without a loving family around you." Vivienne says.

Lena is the first one to let out an audible sniffle at this part of the video, with Kara trying very hard not to let out one too, as she knows it will only get worse from here, and if she breaks into a fit of crying, she just won't be able to stop it.

"Morgan, I am sure many thoughts have gone through your head over the years, about what happened to me, and what happened to your father. I can only presume that at least on one occasion you may have asked yourself if you could have done anything different to save us. I won't you to know, that's not true, and nothing that has ever happened to myself, or your father, was your fault. We came here, to this planet, for a better life. Our lives were in danger in our home planet, so we had to leave. Unfortunately, some bad people lured us to Earth, for their own self-interests, but your father and I wanted nothing more than to make sure you were okay, and free. What happened to us on that day, your father's death, was never your fault. Your father loved you so much, he would have gladly given his life to protect you, as would I. None of that. None of what happened that day was your fault. And I never, ever, want you to carry any guilt about what happened. You are not to blame. I cannot stress that enough Morgan. Never blame yourself. And I know, if your two moms have raised you properly, they would have already made sure you didn't blame yourself for what happened either." Vivienne says.

"She.... sounds like such a good mom." Lena now comments.

"Yeah." Kara nods.

"With that out of the way, Morgan, in this video thumb drive, I have included all sorts of information, that hopefully your moms have gone through already throughout the years. There is information about our species, and your date of birth. Then I have also included memories that you might recall, of times you spent with your father and I, before we had to leave our planet. I hope that you can read through the stories, and memories, and it can find you some fondness, thinking of those moments. There are also some files in here of other useful information, that you might find interesting, and other stories and memories. However, some of this might be incomplete. I don't know how much longer I have to complete these files, and my memories and mind...... is not completely my own..... I struggle.... sometimes..." Vivienne says.
