Several weeks passed and Alphonce super happy because he couldn't wait for his weekly web chat with his uncles and aunt from England. He sat on Kim's lap as she set up the laptop. What make Alphonce extra happy was when he got a special package from them the other day. It was a large package, but he wasn't allow to open. The note attached from them said for him to wait until it was time for their web chat so that everyone could see Alphonce's surprise gift. Alphonce couldn't hold still as Kim turn on the camera and they saw Russel, 2D, and Noodle looking back. Alphonce still had to wait when they started to tell him and Kim what has changed seen he left. Jacob was there too and said he finished repairing Cyborg and now she was working better than before. The Gorillaz's flat was fixed, but only by a little each day. They hope that can finish fixing it by the time Alphonce and Kim come over for a visit.

"Okay little man, I think you waited enough. What are you waiting for? Open it Alphonce."

Alphonce jumps off and grabs the package, he rips a part the wrapping and opens the box. Inside held a red bass guitar. Alphonce couldn't believe it. He picked it up. It was the El Diablo Bass Guitar, Murdoc left for him. Russel and others were happy to see the look on his face seeing this amazing gift.

"We saved any change and got it fixed," Noddle explained.

"Do you love it? We tried to get it close to look like it was before," 2D added.

Alphonce held his father's bass guitar. It was perfect. He held the El Diablo bass just like Murdoc. Alphonce thanked them. He jumped with joy holding his father's favorite bass again in his arms. This made everyone very happy to see Alphonce so excited again. Kim smiled too, it was a good feeling, but somehow to her it felt hollow.

Later that night Kim was in bed, turning side to side trying to get some sleep, but she couldn't. She could only think about one thing. She look at the picture of Murdoc and her together.

"Oh, Murdoc if only you can be here to see this, Alphonce is happy now. Russel says his bruises have healed completely," she whispers longing. "There's so much I want to say right now, but I guess some way you already know."

She didn't want to say it but she missed Murdoc, emotionally and personal reasons. She didn't want become selfish but maybe because she soon starts to fear that maybe she needed to move on from Murdoc. The minute she even think about kissing another man, it's always Murdoc. She starts feeling guilty. She don't understand how other single mothers manage to move on after a divorce, she guess it might do to spite their husbands or that they feel the time was right, but I guess it was so that their kids could have a father again.

She got up from bed and went to check to on Alphonce. He was still sleeping in his bed. Kim smiled at what she saw in Alphonce's hand, the El Diablo.

"I guess I'm not the only one that still misses him," Kim whispered.

The rest of the year went by fast and soon it was the beginning of summer. As Alphonce birthday day gift his step-mother promised to have them spend the entire summer back in England. Alphonce couldn't wait to go back. Though he loves his new home, he still wanted to go back the flat and see everyone. It was his first home after all, sure he used to live with his dad and uncle 2D and aunt Cyborg at Plastic Beach, but when it was time to move the flat was the best thing that could happened.

His uncle 2D said there was a new surprise waiting for him. When he and his step-mother arrived at the flat everyone was waiting outside. Alphonce ran and hugged them all. He missed them terribly.

"We missed you so much, Alphonce," 2D said.

"Me too, but mommy been taking good care of me," Alphonce told him.

Alphonce was excited to go inside again. 2D tried to stop him but it was too late. Alphonce ran into a small skinny boy. The boy was a little taller than him, but Alphonce noticed the boy same color of blue hair as 2D. The others came inside to see them both standing. 2D needed to explain it.

"Um, Alphonce, this is Stewart. He's my son. He's also your big brother," 2D told him.

Kim and Alphonce were shock. Kim asked how it happened or was possible. Russel explained that it was Paula's doing.

"She just showed up and handed 2D his 'suppose' son, left only a note on the poor kid and said nothing," Russel said with the same disapproval tone when it happened.

"She said she was pregnant with Stewart first from 2D and a year later got pregnant with Alphonce," Noodle added.

"Both signs are clear and the DNA test clarified. Stewart is the Dullard's son," Cyborg confirm. "Sorry I mean Stuart's, Jacob said some of my programming needs to work on," she quickly added.

It was surprising for all, while Alphonce and Stewart went off to play, the others decided on what to do and plan next. Things were going well for Gorillaz, but they weren't completely stable on income. While some money were being able to pay for some of the bills, they had to figure out what to do about Stewart now.

"He's already Alphonce's age but we weren't sure if we can afford much for school, clothes, or supplies," 2D tried to explain to Kim.

"It's not that, we can afford that. It's just that we were caught by some nosy paparazzi with Stewart and now we're being hounded by a social worker. Apparently, she's been hounding us after we left Alphonce with you and now she wants to proof we're an 'suitable' family dwelling for both boy," Russel explained.

"You should have said something before. I could send some money." Kim reached for her bag and begins writing a check. Russel stopped her.

"We don't need money. We work hard. This social worker on the other hand just badger us on Alphonce. I doubt she even believe us. We know you're a good mother, but she's not happy at all to hear you're a single mother," Russel revealed to Kim.

"We kept telling her, you're the most perfect parent we know to take care of Alphonce," 2D added.

"But she just gave a snobby remark saying, mothers aren't meant to alone to raise children," Noodle still disgusted from what she heard.

Kim couldn't understand how many steps there were on being a parent. First saying yes to raise Alphonce and now she's being judged by a total stranger. Noodle assured to her that things has been better since Gregory was taken away. 2D said he wants to raise his son Stewart. They each tried to tell Kim things would be okay and that they would make sure Alphonce will not be taken from her. It's not like Kim didn't know things were good. She was a nervous person and always have been. She was a hard worker. She's doesn't want to hear the positive notes her friends were giving her, hearing how perfect, it made her feel weird, or it could be the pressure building. There were nothing perfect about her and there were no such thing as a perfect parent, except her parents but that was only because they worked hard to raise her right. She couldn't imagine her life differently, the one changed going through her head is that she wishes for Murdoc. She still put being a mother first in mind and tried to promise that if she was strong enough, then maybe she'll move on.
