Elder often woke up earlier than they wished they did, Héctor could guarantee it's true. My young form didn't change any habits of mine, he thought as he entered the kitchen, and found his daughter with Elena.
"Do you want a cup, Papá?"
Héctor remained dumbfounded at Coco's wild hair. He didn't need to guess what happened last night.
"S-Sure! Mija.".
Coco went back to making another coffee as Héctor tried to adjust to the fact that his girl was no longer a girl.
"Stop making that tonto face, they are 20 again, what do you expect?" Héctor jerks at Elena's question, "Where do you think Victoria, and I came from?".
"You two know I'm still here, right?".
Both Elena, and Héctor quickly turn to Coco, who's holding a tray of coffee mugs. The 3 moved to drink in the living room, and continue the discussion about a part in Coco's marriage life that she never talked about.
"So trust me, Papá, you, and Mamá should try it." Coco insisted, "It's way more thrilling in flesh than bone.".
"I'm fine with waiting for the bone, Mija." Héctor replied.
"Weird." Said Elena.
The door opened, and Oscar, and Filipe rushed in. Héctor swore he heard crowd noises before the door closed.
"Qué pasó?" Coco asked the twin.
The twin looked at each other, and nodded before they opened the door again. The crowded noises came in, waking everyone up.
"I'm so sorry, I brought them here."
"Está bien, Papá Héctor." Miguel replied.
"Can you at least do something about it?" Rosa asked, "It's Sunday, and I still wanna sleep.".
"I have an idea!" Abel stood up.
Héctor followed the young man outside where the sea of crowd was flooding. They cheered even louder once they saw Héctor.
"I'm so sorry senores y senoras, I appreciate your love for my songs, but here is mi familia house, and they are sleeping. May you guys leave, please?"
The crowd got even louder, and he felt like a fool.
'One song, please!'
'One interview, please!'
'Just one photo, please!'
"STOP!"
The crowd immediately stopped at Abel's shout. Héctor smiled as he watched the young man take a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Héctor, and I have agreed on opening social media accounts for you guys to ask questions, and keep up with his music." Abel announced.
"So may you all return home safely first, and then we'll have it all established today." Héctor added with a wink.
Miguel, Rosa, and Abel sat on the floor with Héctor as they were trying to open social media accounts for him.
"Alright, let's start with youtube!" Said Miguel, "What name do you wanna use for your channel?".
Héctor rapidly tapped his chin with his index at the question.
"Túnel de Héctor." The kids laughed instantly at his answer.
"It's not an actual 'Channel', Papá Héctor." said Abel.
"Youtube channel is like an account of your music, but on the internet." Rosa explained.
"What do you wanna go by in your stage name?" Miguel asked.
"Just Héctor Rivera then.".
Miguel nodded, and typed the name on the app in Héctor's phone.
"Should we get him snapchat?" Abel asked.
"You mean shouting letters?".
The kids fought their urge to laugh at their great great grandpa's question, and decided to get him just YouTube, and Instagram.
Enrique brought the adult Riveras home after they took the dead outside for a stroll at the mercado.
Tía Victoria was very eager to see the final Star War after she saw the 8th film was playing in a DVD shop. She even told them about her experience in the theater when the first film came out in 1977.
The twins couldn't stop taking photos with their new phone, and Tía Rosita even bought 'The Fault In Our Stars.' book. Mamá Coco helped Papá Julio catch up with the new romance stuff, but it all went down right after a Furby at the front of an antique store screamed at Mamá Imelda.
"Welcome back everyone." Miguel beamed.
"How was the market? mi amor." Imdelda huffed at the question.
"Ok, I think." She sighed, "How was your time with the Devil Box?".
"It's called a 'Phone', mi amor.' Héctor corrected her, "The kids just made me a YouTube channel, and Instagram!".
And the kids laughed immediately after Mamá Imelda asked, "Why would you need a tunnel, and telegraph?". I couldn't blame her though, she died way before the flip phone was even made, Enrique thought.
"Mi amor." He quickly turned at Luisa's call, "She wouldn't stop crying." Said Luisa as she stood at the doorway.
Enrique smiled at the baby in his wife's arm, and walked closer, making goofy faces to stop baby Coco from crying, but it only made her cry louder. Héctor stood up, and moved closer, offering his arms. Luisa placed the crying baby in Héctor's arms, and he turned to his daughter.
"Wanna join us? Socorro Senior?"
20 years old Coco nodded, and moved to stand next to him.
'Remember me, though I have to say goodbye
Remember me; don't let it make you cry
For even if I'm far away, I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart
Remember me, though I have to travel far
Remember me, each time you hear a sad guitar
Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be
Until you're in my arms again, remember me'
Baby Socorro closed her eyes right after Héctor, and Mamá Coco finished the lullaby. Enrigue smiled, and turned to his son who was filming the whole thing for a Youtube video called.
'Héctor Rivera y Mamá Coco - Remember Me'
Most kids got haciendo el amor advice from the parents, but forget it! Coco had experience way more than Héctor xD
