Mom…
Yes sweetie?
What was it… to have a relationship with dad? What was it like back then?
Well, it wasn't easy! None of it is! I grew up differently than everybody else.
Can I hear the story from you? Pretty please?
Heheh, yeah! It's gonna be a good story to tell. Listen closely, ok?
Ok! I'm listening!

Saints Row 2: My Variation of Cora's Backstory
...
There was a time where I was still a child going to school back to back like I couldn't give less of a fuck.
Oh! My! God! You swore!
Don't worry! Your father isn't here to hear me swore to you! You're fine!
I hope not! That wouldn't be awesome!
Heh. When I walked in on my first day, there were bullies. I mean, loads of them, swarming around beating people up for some money and stuff! And when they all gave up, they went for me.
What did you do?
I defended myself to attack back! I wasn't gonna let these guys get away with anything they have done!
Cool!
I fought about… three? Four? No! It was six! Yeah, six of them, and they all ran away like cowards! Then I saw a little innocent girl on the floor bleeding on the head, and that was the first sight when she was my first friend, Shelby. Shelby Baker.
Yeah! You told me about her! What was she like?
Oof, uh… Rude, malicious, malice, but in my own words, I still love her until this very day… she is known to be sweetest most charming woman I've ever met… If only…
If only… what? You gotta tell me!
Well, it's gonna be really bad but I'll tell you cause I love you.
Love ya too!
When Eddie was first transferred into the school, I thought of him as a monster with no intellect and full of attention with an egotistical mind… But when I saw him having loads of money in his locker, it's like I couldn't bring myself back to being with Shelby for long… An-
Wait! Mom, you and Shelby were in a relationship? For how long?
Not long… but a rough six months…
I'll definitely remember that one for sure!
Heheh! Back to the story, I couldn't make a decision to stay with Shelby – who I've known my whole life, who fights for me despite thinking she's doing what's right, and who always fight her battles through these bastards knowing that she's weak… but still manages to try. Or – break up with Shelby and tag along with this rich kid who is so full of himself, and as much I had all that time to discover who he truly is, I would've actually stayed with her…
You broke up Shelby to be in another relationship with dad…
Yep… Worst mistake of my life…
Worst?
I mean, I get to birth you so plus one for me! But thinking back on it, what the heck was I even doing…? She was my one true love, and I pushed her away, and she still fought back to get me back to her…
Do you… have her number?
Nah… When I finally grown up, her number changed. Sad thing that's happened…
You gonna be all right?
Yeah! Like I've always been! So, that wraps up this story! Goodnight, Isabella!
Can you sleep with me? Please?
Hahahah, sure, why not?
