Chapter 9: Trini's Gift

Connor was being discharged from the hospital the next afternoon and he couldn't wait to go home with his girlfriend. However, as Connor got ready to go, he heard a knock on the door. "Yes?" He asked. He looked up to see a young girl that looked like Trini.

She had shoulder-length black hair, brown eyes, she was wearing white tie-up shoes, a knee-length jean skirt, a yellow blouse, and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail.

"Mr. McKnight?" She asked. Connor nodded and stared at the girl. "I'm Brittany Cranston," she informed. Then a man stood behind Brittany.

"I'm Billy Cranston. Tommy said you have something that belongs to Brittany?" He asked.

"Yeah, um. This is going to be hard for you to believe, but while I was in my coma, I met your wife. She's the one that brought me back to the living," Connor replied.

"How is that possible? My mother is dead," Brittany stated.

"Well, your mother showed me the way home. Before I left she gave me this. She wanted to give it to you on your birthday the night she died."

He placed the locket. Brittany opened the locket to find a picture of her and her mother when she was five. "Mom," she whispered. Billy placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you," Billy murmured.

"I wish I got to know her better. I bet she was a wonderful woman," Connor commented.

"She was," Billy assured.

Brittany placed the necklace around her neck and looked at her father. Then she looked at Connor. "Do you know what I wish I was able to do the most?" She asked.

"What's that?" Connor asked.

"I want to say goodbye," Brittany replied.

Connor then had an idea. "I have a way for you to say goodbye," he stated.

"How?" Brittany asked.

"My girlfriend is a singer. She's having a concert in a couple of weeks. She has a song ready just in case something happened to me. She might help you to say goodbye to your mom," he replied.

Just as he told her this, Kira walked into the room. Brittany couldn't believe she was standing in front of her favorite singer. "Kira," she whispered. Kira smiled at the girl and looked at Connor.

"Are you almost ready to go?" She asked.

"Yeah, but I think Brittany has a song request for you to sing at you next concert," Connor replied.

Kira looked at Brittany. "Could you help me say goodbye to my mother?" She asked. Kira placed her hands on the girl's shoulders and nodded.

"Yes, I'll help you say goodbye," Kira replied.

Connor placed a hand on his girlfriend's shoulder and smiled at her. Billy thanked them before he started taking Brittany home. "Billy, wait," Connor called. Billy stopped and looked at him. "Here are two tickets for the concert. Enjoy," he added.

"What about you?" Billy asked.

"Me? Nah, never mind, I have my own way of watching my girl sing," Connor replied.

Billy nodded before leaving with his daughter. Then Kira took Connor home at last.
