MOVING ON

Two years since halle's death, time for the rest of the family to move on. So to keep their minds off to the past and into the present they've decided to learn a new skill.

Keshia was born artistic so though she was a newbie to the thing she can paint beautiful paintings at once.

 

Sometimes it's a mother-daughter bonding time, so you now know where she inherited her artistic side.

 But the dad might need to attend a painting class to enhance his skills. He asked the opinion of her wife and daughter about his painting skills, but they can't say a thing instead they laughed really hard and the dad gave in and laugh with them as well.

The next day, Reign offered a painting lesson to Grady "Not that bad dad, but yeah you still need MORE practice"  told Keshia as she chuckled.


MARLON'S LOVERS

 As for Marlon, healing was a process, there will be sunshine after the rain. After one year of sobbing and being depressed he found a friend-turned-lover on their housekeeper Mary.

After six months of being together he asked Mary to moved in with him and she gladly accepted the offer. It was a blissful one year and a half for the couple and Mary conceived their first baby. The day Marlon found out that Mary was pregnant he told the news to her daughter Reign and to the rest of the family and they were all looking forward to it. 

One day when Marlon was left at home, Reign's best friend Holy went to their house. "Holy, what brougth you here?" ask Marlon who had just woke up from bed "Is Reign at home?" says Holy while looking shly at Marlon who's only in boxer's short. "Well, she told me that she'll be out in a bit..would you like to wait for her inside?" Holy agreed and follow Marlon in the living room. It's not a secret to Reign that Holy was attracted to her Dad, but of course he's married then and Reign told her to just look for someone her age. But for Holy, she thinks that they're really meant to be.. after Halle's death..she told herself that she'll do everything just to win Marlon's heart. "I'm sorry if you've waited too long..I have to put on a robe, well there's a beautiful woman in my house and I don't want others to think that I'm flirting with you or what" says Marlon while laughing cause he can't also imagine doing that to her daughter's BFF. 

Marlon went to the kitchen to prepare something for Holy, but before Marlon reached the kitchen Holy grabbed his hand and told him the words she was keeping for a long time. Marlon was so shocked and look at Holy with confusion "What did you just say????" "I said, I love you..I've been keeping this for a long time and been hiding it from you because I don't want to ruin something that was so beautiful - and that is your family" as Holy cried not for joy but for embarrassment, she knew that after this conversation nothing will still change and it would be the end of her relationship with Reign and the family. "Holy, you're still young..there's still alot of men out there so don't waste your time on me - I can die anytime and too old to take care of you" as he hold Holy's hand "Then just let me be the one to take care of you" says Holy as she kissed Marlon. A woman appeared behind Holy, it was Mary..Marlon didn't know what to do so she pushed Holy away and went to Mary to apologize and explain. But it's too late, Mary slap Marlon and walked away. "I'm so sorry.." says Holy, she shouldn't be happy with what happen but she is. She hugged Marlon tightly and Marlon gave in, he hugged her back and the rest they say is history.

Later that day when Reign got home from work she noticed some wine glasses at the table and the kitchen was in a total mess, she called her dad but there was no response. She went to his dad's room and right then and there she saw Holy and Marlon sleeping together. She was so shocked that she doesn't even know what to do or say, as she was about to leave the room she bumped into the dresser and a vase fell down and crashed into the floor. The tow was awakened by the noise and was also shocked to see Reign right in front of them. "..I..I..I can explain" says Holy while Marlon just sink in to the sheet covers. "Dad we need to talk, Holy go home" as Reign left the room.

Marlon went to Reign's room as soon as he reached the door "Dad, why?" asked Reign who was sitting on her reading chair and look directly at Marlon. "Reign, I'm so sorry..I didn't mean to mess up with your bestfriend..we got so drunk". "Mary called me earlier and told the news, it's okay for me Dad that you flirted with Holy or you want to flirt with her and do those things if you're not committed with someone whom you got pregnant! How about the child in her womb, you already dumped a piece of his/her future before he/she was even born..he/she will be like you who will grow up not knowing you just like what happen to you when grandma abandoned you" Marlon was static, her daughter was right. He immediately call Mary but she was not answering the phone, so he decided to went straight to her apartment. But it was too late "She just left earlier, she told me that she won't be back anymore and decided to live in another country" the chinese landlord told Marlon. He cried as he went to his car and even while driving.

As he entered the door her granddaughter Keshia welcome him with a big hug

"Hi grandpa! how's your day? I've got good news for you" says Keshia "Wow, glad to hear one today..what is it?" as he sit on the couch to hear her story "Wait, why what happen to you today" ask Keshia while she sit beside her grandpop "It's a long story honey, I want to hear yours first" as he faked a smile to her "Well, I've been chosen as a cheerleader and I'm on top of my class..how's that!" "Well, I'm not surprised at all because I knew from the start that you're intelligent and beautiful" as he kissed her g.daughter "I should go to my bedroom now, I'm not feeling really well today honey..we'll just talked about it in the morning". Keshia was left confused and bothered by her g.pa.

While their having dinner "Mom what's wrong with g.pa? He was acting weird today." asked Keshia "Nothing's wrong with g.pa honey" smiled Reign to her daughter. After dinner "Are you okay? I think you two should talk again and fix things" advised Grady to her wife. "I will, I'll just check him in his room and served him dinner as well" told Reign to Grady as she left their bedroom.

As she reached her dad's door "Dad, here's your dinner..Keshia told me that you're not feeling well so I might as well bring it to you"  before she even enter the room she saw his dad lying on the floor, she called everyone and drop the tray she was holding while checking on his dad. They carried Marlon to the car and immediately brought him to the hospital.
