Unknown Child

Part 11.7

After uno we all just sort of moused around everyone on their own devices. Dinner was starting soon so most of my cousins and brothers and sister went to get dressed. While me and Adam were left alone. Sam was sleeping so I decided to go to the studio house in the backyard. I saw boxes that I assume were from my dads house. I blew the dust off the soundboard and turned the knob to turn it on. Then sat in the chair and started messing with sounds. I found an old cassette and and put it in the tv on the side of the room. It was a video of my dad and I playing around, singing. Old video but I remembered it because it happened to be around the time I saw my mom on tv singing to my older sister Bobbi Kristina

She was singing the song Shoop off of the movie she was doing and Krissy walked out on stage to be with her. I always wondered why she never took me on stage was I not good enough, was I not pretty enough. Then I remembered my dad turning the tv off and cheering me up.

Mya My what are you doing  babygirl. " He asked.

"I was just watching mommy and Krissy on tv.  Daddy why does Krissy always go with mommy and not me?" I asked him.

"Because daddy would miss you too much.  How about this?" He asked. 

He went over to a boom box and turn on The way you make feel. At the time I didn't know he was remixing the song to fit me until later.

"Hey pretty baby with the cheeky cheeks
You give me fever
Like I've never, ever known
You're just a product of my  love with mommy
I like the way that you smile at me,
Your laugh , your dress
I feel your warmth
From miles around
I'll pick you up in my car
And we'll shop around
Just kiss me baby
And tell me twice
That you're the one for me

The way you make me feel
(The way you make me feel)
You really are my girl
(You really are my girl)
You knocked me off of my feet
(You knocked me off of my feet)
My lonely days are gone
(My lonely days are gone)"

I watched as he picked me up and we danced around that room for what seem like forever and a day. I was so happy with him.

"I knew I'd find you here." Jaafar said as he came in with Sam behind him.

"Yeah you guys found me." I said.

"So this is the famous studio?" Sam asked looking around. I took the video out and put it to the side of the VCR.

"Yeah this was my uncles. No one comes in here anymore unless Mya is home."He said.

"Really?" I asked. "Like your dad or Uncle Marlon and them never come in here?" I asked. 

"Nope Grandmother told them this house is off limits" he said. I was shocked because I just knew my Uncles were goin to come in here and mess with something.

"So what were you doing out here?"Jaafar asked.

"I got a song I need you to record it for me I already have a melody for you to use." I told him. I got inside of the booth and thumbs them up before turning around and not facing them prepared to sing my heart out.
