I told you guys I made a second version of this. R&R

As much as Johnny loved his cousin Terri, he could not believe she would pull a stunt like this. He couldn't believe she would neglect her baby because, and he was quoting his cousin here: "Juna cries too much". And he could understand the constant crying from a baby being a bit overwhelming to some new parents; he couldn't even think of what Rosita went through when she had her twenty-five kids. But that did not give Terri a reason to neglect Juna for so long that a lot of her fur fell out from malnutrition, and then leave her on a train like this with a horrible ear infection that was so bad that the doctor said if he hadn't caught it in time, the infection would have spread and caused major problems.

Thankfully, Johnny convinced Child Services to give Juna to him. And he had been taking care of her for the last few months. And during that time her fur grew back, she gained weight, and her ear infection pretty much cleared up. And she got a lot of cuddles.

Now if only he could get through his interview with a reporter from the local paper without Juna throwing a fit. Because the reporter was supposed to be coming over while Juna took her mid-day nap, but whenever he would leave to make sure everything was in order, she'd start crying; and Johnny didn't want the reporter finding out about her, because although he had been taking care of her for the last few months, no one else knew about her.

When he had first taken Juna in, Johnny was still in high school, and wasn't really in much of a spot to leave school to take care of her; but thankfully, his school did have a Child Care class that doubled as a daycare for some of the teen parents that wanted to get their diploma. So the teacher was more than happy to take care of Juna during the day most of the time, and on weekends, he'd take her to the park so she could play; but for the main part, he kept her existence under wraps because he didn't want people to know about her. Not only would it cause a lot of attention, but he would also have to introduce her to his dad; which, if Big Daddy were to find out about his great-niece, was not going to be a good thing. Because Marcus had a very bad tendency of becoming sidetracked; meaning if he found out Juna existed, he'd be more focused on finding her dad than helping Johnny out.

Tucking Juna in for her nap, he went downstairs again to clean up all of her toys, and make sure there was no evidence of a baby living there. And he got done just in time for the reporter to come knocking on his door.

Chucking Juna's toy rabbit into the toy chest, he closed it, and answered the door to let the panther news reporter in. Thanking him for coming, and letting him sit down on the sofa before offering him a drink. And after answering the usual questions a reporter may ask, the panther, whose name was Ryan Mane, left; and Juna started crying not two seconds later because she wanted the bunny Johnny put in the toy chest.

Getting the rabbit out of the toy chest, Johnny took it upstairs so he could give it to Juna and hopefully get her to go to sleep for her nap. Unaware that Ryan had returned to get his phone, and had come up the stairs to see Johnny reading a book to Juna to get her to sleep.

Going back downstairs before Johnny could see him, Ryan looked at his phone, and called his boss.

"Boss, it's me. I have a new story that's going to make tomorrow morning's headlines."

~Next Day~

"Okay Juju, open up," Johnny said, getting Juna to open her mouth so he could feed her the mushed up bananas he had on the spoon in his hand. A metallic thud sounding from the front of the house, which was the normal sign that the paper man came by with the morning paper.

Going out to the other room to get the paper, he took it out of the plastic bag that it came in, and went back to the kitchen to see Juna with banana all over her face and hands.

"Juna," he said, getting a napkin and wiping her face off. "You are such a messy little eater."

Hearing her let out a little coo because she wanted more bananas, Johnny gave her a kiss on the head, and gave her a few more pieces of mushed up banana before he opened the paper, and just about dropped his coffee mug. Because the headlines said: "Local Talent Has Secret Baby; Hides It From Public".

"Oh no," he said, feeling his coffee mug slip through his fingers while Juna ate her breakfast.
