A/N~Longest chappie to creat for this story, but I've finally got it done!
"Somehow, a terrible event has happen here in Los Santos, since the death of Leonora Johnson, but now it has happen to the family of the associate producer, Michael De Santa. The film producer's only and loving niece, Blakesleigh Rose De Santa is reported missing after two weeks later when she'd ran away from home. Michael claims that his niece was kidnapped at first, before catching up with the kidnapper up in North Yankton. After that, Blake manages to escape, but Michael had no chance of finding her after ringing her phone and looking for her all over the snowy state…" The news reporter explained as she stands outside of the De Santa's residence, before Michael and Amanda came out from their safe haven. Suddenly, the crowd full of reporters immediately crowd around the couple, before the Weazel News reporter pushes her way towards Michael and Amanda along with the cameraman.
"Mr. De Santa, will you still continue on with the movie Meltdown with Solomon Richards, without having Blake by your side to support?"
"Hey, he has his wife to support him." Amanda retorted.
"But Mrs. De Santa, we heard that you and Blake had a bitter rivalry since day one. Will you give up everything to help your husband?"
"I'm willing to give that up to find her." Amanda answered.
"Hmm, that's not true after we've interviewed a pink haired teen who claims to be your son's girlfriend. Which we decided to remain her anonymous." The news reporter stated, before Amanda and Michael climb into the Tailgater. "Mr. De Santa, if your niece was watching the news at the moment, what would you say on national TV?" She questioned, before having the microphone close to Michael's face.
Across the country, Blake sat down on her queen size bed as she was changing Kynsleigh's diaper before feeding her a new bottle and putting her down for her sleep. Next to her was her sleeping eldest daughter, Indie who decided to sleep once more in her adopted mother's bed after when she had another nightmare.
"Blake, I know we have our differences and lies, but I will never let you go. Cause you're my niece and I love you, baby girl. But please, I want you to come home. We'll always be here you, and don't forget about us." Michael explained, as Blake looked away from the baby and straight at the TV, before turning it off.
After strapping on a new diaper onto the gurgling baby, Blake started holding Kynsleigh in her arms before placing a kiss on her forehead.
"This is my new life now. Things will get better for the three of us overtime…" Blake thought to herself, before she started feeding Kynsleigh her soothing baby formula bottle.
Keeping her teal colored eyes on the small baby, Blake noticed how the baby started to get tired light blue eyes before she'd finally close them when her bottle's halfway empty. Taking the clear bottle nipple out of her small pink mouth, Blake slowly got out of the bed and gently place Kynsleigh down into her cherry finish convertible crib, covering the small baby with a soft pink fleece blanket.
Smiling at her youngest daughter, Blake places another kiss on her forehead, before climbing back into the bed with her eldest daughter whose still asleep on the left side of the queen size bed, until she closed her teal colored eyes.
The spring, the summer and the autumn passed. After that, the winter returned, and almost a year had passed since Blake had seen any of her family. That was, her old family. She'd spent that time with her new family, the two children she'd taken in after everyone else had left them abandoned.
"Hmm… a twin pack of cheeseburger macaroni mix for $2.50?" Blake said to herself, while looking at the single pack in her left hand which cost a dollar less, but if she bought two single pack it will be $3.00. "Ah, what the hell." She said, before placing the single pack back on the shelf and place the twin pack into the grey shopping cart.
"Okay… milk, orange juice, bread, barbecue chips, marmalade, strawberry apple puffs, turkey bacon, eggs, hot dog franks, four cans of maple bacon baked beans, sugar cookie dough…" Blake muttered to herself after taking out her Badger smartphone, and looking back at her food shopping list. "Yep, that's everything I need." She said, after putting her phone back inside the front pocket of her red diner apron, before getting the coupons from out of her royal blue winter coat.
Once she reaches to the register, Blake started putting the items on the conveyor belt while the young store worker who's like the same age as the dark haired teen with a bottom lip piercing started scanning the items.
"Your hair looks totally cool." The young store worker stated as she notice Blake's black traditional ombre purple hair put up into a high ponytail.
"Oh really? Thanks, I've always love to have color in my hair all the time." Blake explained, as she started placing some of the full plastic bags into the grey shopping cart.
"Well, what kind is it? It sure looks like expensive hair dye to be so bright into your hair." The young store worker questioned, before scanning the last item and giving out the correct total. "That will be 27.18." She stated, before Blake gave her coupons for the cookie dough, baby food and the meat products.
"It's called Pony, and it's made by Lime Crime Unicorn Hair…" Blake said, before looking passed the young store worker as she notice a missing persons poster taped right behind the corkboard.
Her teal colored eyes widened in shock, as she stare back at the photo of her dressed for her first spring picture at Rockford Hills Academy.
"Ma'am, it's been reduced down to 20.37." The young store worker stated, getting Blake's attention away from the corkboard behind her. Her teal colored eyes travelled back to the younger teen, before getting out the exact change from out of her chain wallet. "Thanks, come again. And I'll definitely find some hair dye like that." She said, before handing the receipt towards the violet ombre haired teen.
After placing the receipt into her winter coat, Blake moved her feet quickly out of the store while pushing the grey shopping cart outside and heading towards her black and red Gauntlet.
"Fuck, that was close." Blake whispered, before using her keys to open the doors and started placing the shopping bags into the backseats and a few of them into the trunk.
After closing the trunk and doors, Blake started pushing the cart back towards the shopping center before noticing a small ball of grey, brown and black fur in a small cardboard box inside. Getting down on one knee, the small ball of her started to move until it turned out to be a small tabby munchkin kitten.
"Aww, hey cutie." Blake said quietly, while rubbing the back of the small kitten's head as the violet ombre haired teen can hear her quietly purring. "Free kittens, eh? Well, guess what? You have a new home now." She stated, after noticing 'Free Kittens' on the side, before lifting up the box and taking it and the small kitten towards the black and red Gauntlet.
Driving through the cold snow, Blake drove back home as she couldn't wait to see the look on Indie's face when her mother has brought home a small kitten for her to play with and take care.
Reaching towards the trailer home, Blake slowed down her speed limit and drove through the trailer park without causing the groceries to drop out of the bags. Pushing the gear shift in park, Blake honked the horn twice to get someone's attention from inside of the trailer home.
The munchkin kitten gave out a small mew while looking at Blake.
"Shhh." Blake said, putting her index finger against her pink lips.
"Hey, Mommy." Indie called over as she came outside a few minutes later, having taken a minute to get there as she'd been charging her battery before she heard the horn.
"Hey, sweet pea…" Blake said, climbing out of the muscle car and hugged Indie, before pressing the button from the inside of the Gauntlet to open the back trunk. "I need some help with the groceries, plus… Mommy got a surprise for you." She explained, before heading towards the back of the Gauntlet.
"Okay… I'll take the light bags like normal. Still can't lift all the cans and those milk bottles." Indie replied as she joined Blake at the back, reaching in and grabbing a bag with a bread loaf sticking out of the top once the trunk was open.
"I know, Indie girl… Just get what you can, but don't look inside the car. That's where your surprise is." Blake said, grabbing the plastic bags that had the meats inside before heading inside of the warm trailer home to see Miranda slipping Kynsleigh into the baby jumper while babbling happily.
"Hey, Miranda, were the girls good?" Blake questioned, as she placed the plastic bags onto the now clean walnut finish table.
"Well, Kynsleigh was trying to escape from her playpen again since she likes to get up on her own two feet, but besides that they were good." Miranda explained, while walking towards the teen mother before looking back at Kynsleigh using her small hands to play with one of the hands on toys. "Plus, I work with Indie on her reading homework, and just fed her a turkey sandwich and a glass of strawberry soda after a hard day's work."
"Okay, here's your full pay…" Blake said, before pulling out her chain wallet and gave her $20 for her babysitting services. "And thanks again." She said, before Miranda left the trailer home as Indie came back in with the light bags.
"I spotted marmalade!" Indie exclaimed happily as she put the bag down near the oven, then stood up again with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, I thought about you and it's your favorite, Indie." Blake said, taking out a pack of ground meat, before placing the other one in the black refrigerator. "Plus I'm even making cheeseburger macaroni tonight." She explained, after placing the pack of ground meat into the right hand sick and pulled out the gallon of low fat milk onto the counter, along with the twin pack of cheeseburger macaroni mix.
"We haven't had that in a while, I missed it." Indie said in response, looking at the TV as she heard the tune whistle at the end of an Old Spice commercial, and repeating it herself before a giggle.
"Such a silly girl, you are." Blake said, before pulling out a skillet and place it onto the stove. Kynsleigh babbled in response while jumping up and down in her jumper, as the violet ombre haired teen look at the youngest daughter. "Kynsleigh Luna agrees with you too, Indie." She said, before removing the baby girl from the jumper.
"Yeppo, we need that food soon or we're gonna lose our minds!" Indie replied as she stepped across the room, before jumping onto the couch and grabbing one of its pillows to hold.
"Yeah, we don't want that to happen. And Kynsleigh Pie, you will be eating your very first toddler food." Blake said, before pulling out a small microwavable toddler dinner which is spaghetti rings in meat sauce. Kynsleigh started jumping up and down in delight while babbling happily, showing her baby teeth once she saw what her dinner's going to be. "Now, how about your surprise? Are you ready for it?" Blake questioned, now looking down at Indie and place the microwavable toddler dinner on the counter.
"Oh yeah, surprise!" Indie replied, sitting upright and putting the pillow to one side.
"Just wait here, sweetie." Blake said, before heading back outside to her black and red Gauntlet to grab the cardboard box sitting down on the passenger side. Once she had the box in her hands, Blake headed back indoors to see Kynsleigh balancing her legs on the couch next to Indie after when she removes her baby sister from the jumper. "What do you think I have in this box, girlie?" She questioned, before Indie noticed 'Free Kittens' on the cardboard box.
"Did you get a…" Indie started to ask with wide eyes, before she caught a glimpse of a little paw at the edge of one of the air holes followed by a little squeaky mew. "Kitty!"
"Yeah…" Blake answered, before placing the box on the floor as Indie taken the small munchkin kitten into her arms. "And she's all yours. But she's your responsibly, Indie. Remember that." She stated, getting on her knees while smiling happily.
"Apart from school time… unless I could get her to stay in my backpack, I don't think so." Indie replied as she lightly stroked the munchkin kitten down her back.
"No, she must stay here where me and Miranda can keep an eye on her, okay." Blake explained, as Kynsleigh kept her light blue eyes on the small kitten, before flopping down onto her bottom. "Beside, I've already gave her name. She will be named Touka." She explained.
"Sounds good to me." Indie agreed, as she sat back a bit and put Touka down on her lap, the little munchkin standing there on her legs and looking at her with another mew, as if to say 'more of that hand please!'
"I'm guessing she like you already." Blake said, before Kynsleigh started crawling towards the kitten. "Kynsleigh Pie, don't you dare-" She warned the youngest child, before her small left hand grabbed onto Touka's small tail.
"Oi, off!" Indie said loudly towards Kynsleigh, pulling Touka up into her arms again and the tail slipping out of his hand before she had the chance to squeeze or grip it.
"She doesn't know how to hold or touch a kitty right. Not old enough to know either." Indie said after a moment, once she'd put Touka back on her lap again, the little kitty's tail fur sticking up as she'd been frightened by Indie's sudden loud voice a moment ago.
"Hey, it will take a while." Blake started to say, before placing Kynsleigh into her arms and place her into the playpen, away from harming Touka. Once she did that, Kynsleigh started whimpering while climbing onto her feet and holding onto the playpen before crying loudly for her mother's attention. "Little missy, you're in timeout, so I'm not going to let crawl around and pull on Touka's tail." She explained, as Kynsleigh cried harder after when she flopped down on her bottom.
"I'll show her how to hold kitties soon." Indie replied while lightly stroking Touka to calm her down from her fright.
"Yeah, I know you will." Blake said before standing up. "Here, baby girl…" She said while heading to the kitchen to grab a pink and violet sippy cup and filled it halfway with cold milk, before handed to Kynsleigh to keep her busy. "Watch her, while I go get change to something more comfortable." She said to Indie, while looking at the small girl petting the munchkin kitten and taking off her winter coat and red apron, laying it down on the couch.
"Alright Mommy." Indie answered, before Blake left the two alone, as Touka hopped off the golden blonde haired girl's lap and onto the couch beside her, starting to swipe her paw playfully at a loose thread that was hanging from Indie's top.
"Uh!" Kynsleigh managed to say, throwing her sippy cup in front of Indie to get her attention away from Touka as it didn't spill on the floor, before throwing one of her barbell rattles.
"You behave, or Mommy will extend your time out." Indie said in response, picking up the rattler and putting it on the couch near her, Touka sniffing at it and looking to Kynsleigh, recognising the scent of her on the toy.
Suddenly, Kynsleigh stood up from the bassinet as she decide to climb out of it, since the baby girl was a bit taller in baby size to climb out on her own, which caught Indie's attention when the bassinet flipped over, making a loud noise.
"What's going on in there?" Blake called out.
"The silly girl just tried to climb out and it fell over!" Indie responded as she went to the fallen bassinet, before Kynsleigh stood up on her own feet.
"Is she alright?" Blake questioned, while slipping on a teal acid washed Balor Club shirt… but she didn't hear a response from Indie, until she walked out of the bedroom to see Kynsleigh balancing her legs on the floor, before taking her first steps towards the small girl. "Oh my God!" She said, shockingly, while watching Kynsleigh walking slowly towards Indie with her small feet.
"I think that counts as being okay." Indie joked as she caught Kynsleigh when she made it to her. "As good as that was, don't you go flipping that bassinet again or you'll end up trapping your little pandy under it, and that'll be a big ouch time."
"Sissy." Kynsleigh managed to say, before letting go of the golden blonde haired girl's hands and wrapped her small arms around Indie's kneecaps.
"Aw, I love you too, baby sis." Indie replied as her hand went down and lightly rested in Kynsleigh's soft hair.
"They're growing up so fast… I'm really enjoying parenting life now." Blake thought to herself, as few tears went down her face.
Back in Los Santos, the De Santa's were having dinner time at the table since Amanda decided to cook for tonight.
"Mom, what is this?" Jimmy questioned as he and Michael were looking down at some pale looking elbow macaroni and with some lettuce and tomatoes on their plates.
"Yeah, is this dinner, baby? Or something that I can feed to a health nut?" Michael questioned, as he used his fork to move some of the pale elbow macaroni and lettuce around.
"It's dinner, you two. And it's a healthier style of cheeseburger macaroni." Amanda explained, before taking a forkful into her mouth.
"If this supposed to be that, then where's the cheese and the meat?" Michael questioned.
"It's a vegetarian style of cheeseburger macaroni, Daddy." Tracey answered, eating her plate.
"Baby, I can't live off of this. I know you want me to lose weight, but Blake know how to make this an even better dinner than this." Michael explained, pushing his plate away, before getting up from the table. "I'm ordering a pizza." He stated.
"Make that two, pop." Jimmy stated.
"Oh the hell you won't!" Amanda retorted, standing up from the dinner table. "And why the hell did you bring her up? She's not coming back home, Michael after listening to another one of your lies."
"It wasn't a lie, it was truth." Michael said, the number for the pizza place. "Yeah, I need two extra large pepperoni pizzas." He stated, before Amanda rolled her blue eyes. "Okay, thanks." He said before ending the phone call. "What?"
"You've complained about my cooking, and now you're just getting fat every time you something that's not good for your health and diet, Michael." Amanda explained. "When Blake returns, you can eat whatever you want, you ass. You can eat all the fattening food and even ask for seconds and thirds, until you're lay out on the hospital bed after suffering a heart attack." She said, before walking away from him.
"Baby, I'm not criticizing about the way you cook. I was planning to eat it, but the macaroni looks under done." Michael stated, before hearing the doorbell ringing frequently and knocking on the frosted green glass doors. "Alright, chill the fuck out, I'm comin'!" He called out, while walking towards the front glass doors, before opening one of them to see a familiar face after so long.
Steve Haines stood there covering with ashes and dark markings on his skin and clothes, along with the smell of smoke. The last time Michael has seen him was at the Kortz Center, before he disappeared into the city with his niece, Chloe Rivers after leaving the FIB.
But now he returns for some reason and what would that reason be?
"You again? We thought you've ran off, dickhead. You know what, get the fuck off my property." Michael said, before trying to close the door in Steve's face, but the ex-agent stopped him from shut it.
"Townley… I'm here for a reason… and it's bad news." Steve explained, as MIchael heard the tiredness in his voice and knowing that it turned out to be important.
"Look, we don't Trevor, Frank and I don't work for you anymore. What made you come by at my house after almost a year since you disappeared with your niece?" Michael questioned, opening back the door.
"It's Blake." Steve simply said, before Michael's blue eyes widened in fear. "May I please come in?" He questioned, before Michael invited him in within Haines knowing that the ex-criminal had a combat pistol hidden on him.
"One move and you're outta of my house." Michael warned, before Haines nodded and walked into the living room.
"Michael, who is that?" Amanda questioned, waking into the living room.
"This is nobody." Michael answered, before Haines sat down on the couch while holding onto the side of his stomach. "Now, start explaining. Is Blake okay? Is she in Los Santos right now?"
"She was… But when Chloe went to go see Blake after old times. A woman with red hair… kidnaps the both of them. So, I follow them to a warehouse outside of the city. By the time I got there, the place was already up in flames. And somehow Blake manage to save Chloe after when the woman escaped." Steve explained. "But when I try to save Blake, I realized… that it was too late.
"Bullshit." Michael retorted.
"Believe me, Michael. And… Chloe told me to give you this to know that Blake was really here in Los Santos." Steve explained, before pulling out a small ring which is a teal colored rose. "This was always on Blake's index finger, right?" He said, showing it in the palm of his hand before taking it into his own.
Michael's blue eyes widen as he remembered that Blake always wore this small teal colored rose ring everyday no matter what. Even if she was happy or sad or even having a troubled day, Michael always remembered that Blake wore it.
Having the ring in the palm of his hand, Michael balled up his hand into a fist before he falling onto his knees.
"No… Blakesleigh… Not my baby girl." Michael whispered as a lone tear started running down his face, knowing that the pain of losing his youngest daughter started to make his heart ache.
A few days later at Rockford Hills Academy, the principal of the prestigious school of the Los Santos County, Lisa Strickland decide to have a candlelit funeral party for the now late Blake De Santa. From freshman to seniors and to teachers and academic advisors, they all mourn the death of the heroic and late teen including Blake's friends, Max and Lunch.
Once it was all over, the De Santa's were the last people to stand in front of the school statue where they had the spring picture of Blake along with so many lit candles, orchids and cards. Michael stood in front of the picture of Blake smiling in her first school picture, as he dressed in his black funeral suit while staring at her smiling face.
"Pop, me and Lynn will be over at her house. Is that cool?" Jimmy questioned.
"I don't care." Michael said, before looking back at the two. "Lynnette, as much as I hate to say this but you and Max are welcome at our house no matter what. You two are such good friends to Blake." He explained.
"Thanks, Mr. DS." Lunch said, before she and Jimmy left in her violet colored Dubsta. Now it was just him, Amanda and Tracey who stood with him in front of Blake's memorial.
"Amanda… I wish to be alone. I'll catch up. Trace, you're free to leave." Michael stated, before Tracey place a kiss on his cheek.
"Love you, Daddy." Tracey said, quietly before she left in her yellow and purple Issi.
"Michael… I'm really going to miss her. Even though she's my only niece and... I'm sorry for yelling at her so much." Amanda said, before she hugged her husband and walk back towards the black Tailgater.
"I'm gonna miss you so much, baby girl." Michael said quietly, before pulling out the teal colored rose ring as he stare down at it in the palm of his right hand. "You were so much like me." He said.
He remembered how Blake act in front of everyone with her sweet sounding voice, her beautiful teal color eyes and her curly raven black hair which everyone loves about her… beside her attitude towards different people like Trevor, Haines and even Amanda.
But, now Michael is alone in the world without her to bring a smile towards his face.
His little Blakesleigh Victoria Rose De-Santa is now in heaven with her grandmother, Victoria Rose, her mother, Macey and her uncle Brad Snider.
