16 Year-old Brintessa sat at her computer surfing the internet. "Tessa! Can
you come down stairs please." Her mom yelled. "Oh great, what I do this
time?" She asked herself as she walked down the stairs into the kitchen.
"What's up mom?" She asked confused. "Tessa why don't you sit down?" Her mom said nervous. "Jeeze mom just tell me!" Brintessa said getting upset. "Honeyy, Im not gonna draw this out. Im just gonna tell you. Im very sick with cancer and I only have a month to live. I've tracked down your birth dad and your going to go live with him." Jaden finished. "What! Your; Im; We; My dad?" Tessa sank to the floor crying. Her mother came over and held Tessa in her arms. "Im only 16! This isn't fair. I've only just started to make memories with you. Right when I started getting to the age when I need my mom God takes you away from me!" Tessa said crying. "Hunny, I know this is hard but I'll always be with you. You get to finally meet your dad. Don't tell me that's not God working magic." Jaden said holding her daughter close. Brintessa finally stopped crying. "So when do I leave?" Tessa asked. "Tomorrow." Her mom finished.
~One day later~
"Im gonna miss you hunny. Be good for your dad and here's a little something but you cant open it untill your on the plane." Her mom said hugging her one last time as they announced her flight number over the speaker. "I'll come visit you as much as I can." Said her best friend Sam.
Tessa turned and waved good bye to her friend, mom and her little step- brother who's dad passed away two weeks after he and Tessa's mom we're married. Once she got on the plane Tessa began to open the gift. Inside she found a note and presents. The note read: "Brintessa Lynn, I love you so much. Here are a few gifts since we mostly like wont see each other for one last Christmas. Here's a cell phone (Sam already has the number.) A picture of your real dad. The video tape of me giving birth to you and the day I brought you home from the hospital. A digital camara to take photos of your first date since I wont be able to and lastly; A 24 kt. gold locket with a pearl and four real dimonds on the front. Inside is a picture on me holding you for the first time and on the other side i want you to put a picture of your dad and you together for the first time. Please keep this forever. I will always love you and always be with you, Mom." Tessa finished the letter and began to cry. She cryed for almost the entire flight. When the pilte came on the speaker and said "We'll arive at the Indianapolis airport in 15 min." her dad popped into her mind. She then remembered her mom gave her a picture of him. She slowly pulled out the photo to see that her dad looked like.
Brintessa packed her things into a bag she brought on the plane and began to walk off it after the plane had landed. She began studding the crowd for the man in the picture. Her eyes then landed on him. The same face in the picture her mother gave her. She nervously walked over to the man. "Excuse me sir I think I'm your daughter." She said in a rather small and scared voice. "Um... Brintessa Lynn?" The man asked. "Yeah." She answered. "Hi, Brintessa. Im Kurt. Kurt Angle." The man said then paused. "Im your...your...dad." He said finished softly. Tessa pulled out her camera. My mom wanted me to take a picture of us together for the first time so I could put it in my new locket that she gave me." She said shy. "Alright, let me find someone to take the photo." Kurt said and then asked a security guard to take the photo. Brintessa put the camera away. "So I guess we should go get your stuff." Kurt said and they both began to walk to the bag claim. After they got her stuff Tessa and Kurt began to walk outside to the awaiting Limo. "Wow!" Brintessa yelled as Kurt opened the door for her. "Famous people almost always ride in Limos." He said with a laugh.
"What's up mom?" She asked confused. "Tessa why don't you sit down?" Her mom said nervous. "Jeeze mom just tell me!" Brintessa said getting upset. "Honeyy, Im not gonna draw this out.
