Pretty Wings (Paul Walker)

Ch. 7

                  

"Now that we've had a little time to try and cope with Paul's death, we would like to ask you guys being his family what you want us to do as far as filming goes."

Cheryl looked at everyone before speaking.

"Do whatever it is that you have to do to make sure that the movie gets completed."

"Paul wouldn't want any of his costars to let the fans down because of him," Hanna added in. "Paul was a lot of things, but a quitter he was not."

The director and producers nodded his head before shaking the family's hands.

"We won't let you down."

"We know you won't."

Once they stepped out into the hallway, Cheryl looked at Hanna and smiled sadly.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm trying my best to hold up. It's not easy, but I don't have a choice in the matter."

Cheryl wiped the tears from Hanna's cheeks.

"You are not alone in this, and even though I know that we can never replace Paul in your life, but we are always going to be here for you."

"Yes I know, and this baby is a piece of your son, and I would never keep this child or Paulie away from you."

"I know that, so when is your appointment?"

"It's tomorrow would you like to come?"

"I thought you'd never ask," Cheryl beamed.

Tyrese opened his door and was shocked to see Hanna standing with a sleeping Paulie on her hip.

"What's up Hanna?"

"I'm sorry I know that I should have called first, but something keeps bugging me and I just have to do some investigating. Can you watch Paulie for me?"

"Yea, sure take as much time as you need."

"Thank you," Hanna said placing Paulie in Tyrese's arms. "I'll be back to get him soon."

"Hanna."

She turned around after tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

"I don't know what you are about to do, but whatever it is, be careful."

"I will. Take care of my son," she said placing a kiss on Paulies' forehead.

Tyrese didn't know why it sounded like Hanna was telling him goodbye, but he quickly shook the feeling off of him. He had already lost one friend, he couldn't bear to lose another.

Hanna ran over to her father once she saw him in the parking lot.

"How was school today?"

"Good."

"Do you have any homework?"

"No sir."

"What do you want for dinner tonight?"

"Umm what about pizza?"

"Of course you do."

Hanna giggled and buckled her seatbelt as her father headed off to Pizza Hut.

"Where has Hanna been," Paul asked as he walked into Vanessa's make shift office.

"She's in school. Don't you have friends your own age," Vanessa asked.
