Shhh...

008

Everyone stood with their eyes wide at the display before them. Little arms wrapped tightly around her small frame. It was a sight so pure that everyone and everything around them was non-existent. The loud laughter ripped through the air and everything was a standstill in that very moment.

Yana had tears running down her face and was being consoled by Jace while Yuri was trying to fight back the tears on the brim of his eyes. Mama Joy was crouched down swaying side to side with CJ in her arms basking in the laughter of her grandson. The love she felt towards this little boy who she had just met was far too great and she only hoped that her own son will be able to register this feeling.

No one said a word but stare. Slowly Mama Joy got up with CJ in her arms. For such a small woman, she was able to heave his tall lanky body onto her frame.

No one uttered a word but just stare at one another.

Yuri, who was still unsure of the events leading up to this needed an explanation of what was going on "Uh Mom, what the hell is going on here?"

"Boy, watch your mouth in front of my grandson!"

"Wait...grandson?  Mom! I don't have any kids! Please, someone, tell me what is going on here?"

Yuri looked over at Yana and couldn't believe that she was really here. He totally ignored Jen who by now was just as confused as those standing around them.

Slowly Yana made her way over to where Mama Joy and CJ stood. The little boy leapt into his mom's arms planting kisses all around her face. She put him down on the floor, took his hand and slowly walked over to where Yuri was now seated. Yana crouched down in front of Yuri, holding onto CJ's arm she met Yuri's gaze. She felt the butterflies jumping around in her stomach, to be in close proximity with her first love made her feel dizzy all of a sudden but she couldn't feel like that right now seeing there were more important matters to deal with.

CJ looked up at Yuri, pointed to him and looked over at Yana. "Mommy, who is he?" Yana felt the lump in her throat, wanting to sob out but had to be strong for her son. She looked down at CJ and then over at Yuri.

"Baby, he is your Dad. Remember you have always wanted to meet him? Well, CJ, I want you to meet Yuri, your Dad. Uh Yuri, this is CJ." Both CJ and Yuri kept looking at each other. Before any other words were spoken, the little boy let go of his mother's hand and leapt into Yuri's arms. By now everyone in the room had tears streaming down their faces, overwhelmed by the sight in front of them of a father and son meeting for the first time. Yana was besides herself, looking over at Mama Joy, she too was crying of happiness witnessing her son meeting his son for the first time. By now, each with their face wet from the tears streaming down. There was only one person who was not happy with this reunion and she made it known by huffing out loud. No one took notice of her, not even Yuri who by now had his arms wrapped around the little boy, now known as his son. Yuri was so overwhelmed that he finally felt like he had a purpose in life. A feeling he hadn't felt for quite some time.

His moment with his son was short-lived as Yuri felt his arm being tugged. He turned around to look at a scowl and raised eyebrows. "Yuri, what the hell is this?"

Irritated Yuri looked over at Jen and told her to pipe down. She rolled her eyes and looked over at Yana. Smirking, she couldn't help but dig into Yana. "So, we meet again?" Yana was not in the mood for anyone's shenanigans and definitely not this hoe ass. Yana just glared at her not paying attention to what she was saying.

"Daddy, are you going to come over to my house and play games with me?" Everyone cooed at CJ and his father. Yuri felt like he was looking in the mirror. His son was the splitting image of him, from the brown curls, long eyelashes, freckles and dimple. Smiling wide, he nodded his head before engulfing his son again. CJ was so happy that he couldn't wait to get home.
