"Thank you, Gehenna. Your talks have been very thoughtful. You've been a wonderful young man and to think your my grandson, I'm very proud of what they have become." Sheila would give a long sigh before closing her eyes to take it all in.
"I'm glad Norman picked me, I love him like he's my real dad. I have a family now." Gehenna paused for a mere moment before looking up at Shulziker, "Grandma Shulziker, are you gonna be in our family now?" Shulziker would stop as he would have stopped a second later, his arm gently yanked by her sudden stop.
Gehenna looked back to Sheila before asking, "Grandma! Are you okay...!?" Gehenna would almost waddle himself over before giving her a hug. Sheila would be in utter disbelief, tears would roll down her masked face.
It itches. It hurts. I can feel them squirming on my fur and skin alike.
Sheila would have returned his hug. "Oh, I..." She would embrace him closer as if never wanting to let go. "I'm sorry, Gehenna. I wish I could be your family but... I don't deserve family, I-"
"Everyone deserves a family, Sheila. Including you." Gehenna said eagerly.
Sheila would shake her head and said, "I'm a disturbed monster. I appreciate it but... They won't accept me. I have... Done deeply troubling things to them." Sheila would grit her teeth with tears rolling down her suit.
Gehenna would nearly interrupt her again, "But they can learn to forgive you. If you want it... Fight for it. That's what my uncle Oddeus says." Gehenna would insist before hugging her tighter.
"I-... I don't know what this is... What is happening?" Sheila asked with a dad and confused look.
"Acceptance and Love for my family. It's what my old man taught me." Sheila would relax herself before kissing his forehead and standing up.
"Thank you, young man. I needed that. I will try my best... Now... Get on home, I-I need time to think." Sheila smiled at him as he let go and waved. Gehenna ran off and said on the way out, "Bye Grandma!" Gehenna kept waving till he was hard to see.
"This child... Please... Remember him... Remember him..." Sheila grasped the floor and said, "Celestia... Grant me the strength to fight back."
