Our children are in our hands (PART 2)

Chapter 7: Family or career?

Later

Vilu: You're supposed to what?!

Fran: Is she out of her mind?!

Cami: Who does that?!

Leon: I know it's crazy.....

Vilu: No, absolutely NOT. If you have to do it, I'll have to do it to.

Leon: I know... It's a very hard thing to do...

Vilu: I am ABSOLUTELY NOT going to "hide" Mason or pretend like he never existed until your second album is out.

Leon: I don't want to either.

Vilu: Why does she want you to do that in the first place?

Leon: She thinks that... if my fans finds out that I have a kid, less people are gonna buy my album or go to my tours.

Vilu: But why?!

Leon: Because most of them are girls and... they love me. If they find out that I have a kid, some might be "heartbrokened" and they might just... leave. Some of them already had a hard time accepting you. Remember Lucy? She tried to hurt you.

Vilu: Ugh, don't talk about her please. I get headaches.

Leon: This is also in a way... to protect all 3 of us. You never know what people are capable of doing.

Vilu: So what are we going to do?!

Leon: I don't know...

Vilu: You need to fix this Leon. What's going to happen if you don't want to do it?

Leon: I'll... I'm...

Vilu: What?

Leon: Be dropped from my label...

Vilu: (Shocked) HUH?! So you have to choose between your family or your career?!

Leon: (Sighed) Look, we'll find a way okay.

Vilu: So what are you gonna choose?

Leon: (Kept quiet)

Vilu: (Sighed) I can't believe it. (Went off)

Leon: No, Violetta!

Fran: We'll talk to her Leon. Don't worry.

Cami: Give her some time. She'll come around.

Night

Vilu: (Sitting On the bed writing a song)

Leon: (Came to her) Are you mad?

Vilu: (Looked at him) What do you think?

Leon: (Sat down) Look, I never said I wanted to choose my career. All I'm saying is that maybe you could think about it too.

Vilu: Think about what?! Hiding OUR SON?!

Leon: It's only temporary.

Vilu: So if I go out and people ask "is it true that I have boy now", or "how is my son?" What am I gonna say huh? "No, I don't have one. It was all just a publicity stunt?!"

Leon: (Sighed)

Vilu: Didn't the paparazzi took photos of us when you were gonna drive me to the hospital with Andre? They were on camera.

Leon: Yeah, but since you and I haven't spoken out on social media publicly about it for 3 months, some people are just trying their best to believe that it was all fake.

Vilu: So it's my fault then?

Leon: I never said that.

Vilu: I just think it's unbelievable that right after we have Mason, all these drama starts happening. If this is how it's going to end up, no more kids alright. Now I just feel like we made a big mistake.

Leon: We made a big mistake having Mason?! (Widening his eyes)

Vilu: (Sighed) I don't know. But right now I love Mason with all my heart and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Leon: Alright look, we're a team. Not everything is going to turn out how we want it to be. You of all people should know that. We've been there before.

Vilu: Okay, so your point?

Leon: We have to compromise don't you think? At least think about it from my point of view.

Vilu: I've already thought about it and I made up my mind. We can't go on like this.
