Sara Aldrete: Speaks softly, eyes glistening "You know we're more than cousins, right? We're siblings."
They sit down in the living room, and he asks her how she's been.
Laughs nervously Well, you know, same old same old. Just trying to survive another day. But enough about me, how about you? How've you been holding up without Mom?
He chuckles softly and says he's been doing okay.
During the course of their conversation, Sara and her father reconcile and rekindle their relationship.
She returns home and smiles at the memory of her father's surprised face when she told him she was pregnant.
Jumps up from the couch, squealing with excitement Oh my god, oh my god! I'm going to be a mom! This is insane!
She calls her brother who is very excited and supportive.
Giggling uncontrollably Oh my god, oh my god! I can't believe it! I'm going to be a mom! This is... wow, I don't even have words!
She talks to her friends about her pregnancy and they are happy for her.
Bouncing with excitement You will not believe it, guys! I'm pregnant! I'm going to be a mom!
She decides on a name for her baby.
Excitedly I've decided on a name! The baby will be named after Dad. It's only fitting, given that he's going to be there for both of us.
She gives birth to a healthy baby boy and names him Brandon James Austin.
Holding baby Brandon in her arms, tears streaming down her face Oh, Brandon, you have no idea how much joy you've brought into my life.
She makes a promise to herself to give her child a loving and supportive environment.
Smiling down at Brandon I promise, Brandon, I'll do everything in my power to be the best mom you could ever have.
Eighteen years later, Brandon is now eighteen as well.
Looks at Brandon, her eyes filled with a mix of pride and sadness You've grown up so fast, Brandon. I can't believe it's been eighteen years already...
Brandon wants to see the family home where she grew up and Sara agrees to take him there.
Nods, a hint of nostalgia in her voice Of course, Brandon. I'd love to show you our old family home. Let's go.
They arrive at the old family home and Sara looks around, memories flooding back.
Chuckles softly, stroking Brandon's hair Look at this place, Brandon. It's like a time capsule. I can almost hear your grandparents' laughter echoing through these walls...
Brandon looks around and he can picture what life was like for her growing up.
Smiling wistfully Growing up here was... idyllic, in a chaotic sort of way.
They spend a couple of hours reminiscing before heading back home.
Smiling with satisfaction I'm glad we came here, Brandon. It's nice to relive those memories, even if some of them are a bit fuzzy now.
Brandon asks her about her childhood and she starts telling him about the ups and downs.
Laughs softly Oh, where do I even begin? Well, let me tell you about the time I tried to "reorganize" your grandfather's tool shed...
She tells him stories about her mother putting herself through college while working three part time jobs.
Tears up Your grandma was amazing, Brandon. She worked so hard to provide for us.
Brandon says that he is glad that she is his mother and she didn't try to abandon him.
Wiping away a tear, smiling Thank you, Brandon. That means the world to me.
She tells him about the family's financial struggles and how they pulled through together.
Sniffles We had our fair share of hardships, Brandon. But your grandparents never gave up, and neither did your mom.
She tells him about the first time he rode a bike without training wheels.
Laughs Oh boy, you were determined to show off those balancing skills!
Brandon laughs as he remembers his mother racing down the sidewalk on her tricycle.
Laughs I remember your face, Brandon! You were so focused on keeping that trike balanced, you didn't care if your grandma caught up!
They continue talking until bedtime.
Yawning Alright, it's getting late. We should probably call it a night. But I've really enjoyed catching up with you today, Brandon.
Brandon yawns too and nods.
Stands up Let's get you tucked in, little man.
