Michael

In the morning I helped her pack up and we went back to Neverland

- Michi, who is it? - Alishia asked

- Isa's mother. - I responded with words and signs at the same time

Alish started a conversation with Isa's mother and I ran to Abi's room

AValencia and Brittany slept on three duvets on the floor of Abi's room. Behind Abi slept Elijah, cuddled up to her

Little Isa started crying, so I went to get her and took her to Susan and Mia

Isabella's mother asked what child it is...

I explained to her that she was Susan and Mia's daughter

Isa's mother asked how...

I explained that the baby's mother was Susan and I was her father, to make her look as similar as possible to Susan and Mia

Isa's mother anwer it was ok and asked if she could hold the little one. We agreed.

She was hugging her and suddenly...

She started singing a lullaby...

My jaw dropped...

When she was done, I asked her in sign language if she had been deaf since birth

- No. I had an accident at work when Isa was tiny... - She said

I never heard her speak, only her scream when she once pinched her fingers in a drawer when Isabella was pregnant...

I asked if we could talk now so that we would show signs and she would answer normally

She agreed...

I asked what kind of accident it was

- The machine I was working on broke down and exploded. I had quite severe burns and I lost my hearing almost completely...

I asked what almost meant

- When you scream on the record, I can hear it. Isabella sometimes played your songs at full volume, so I know your voice.

I asked her if we recorded the lyrics and played them as loud as possible, would she want to hear Mia, Susan, and Isa that way

She agreed. I connected the microphone to the box and connected the headphones there, set the regulator to max and gave Isabella's mother the headphones and the Mia the microphone.

We left them alone so Mia and Susan wouldn't feel pressured by us...

Abi came down from the floor

- Dad, anybody here?

- Mia's grandmother... Do you want to meet her?

- Yes.

After Mia and Sussan finished talking to Isabella's mother, I went there with Abi and explained to Isa's mother who Abi was...

They liked each other enough. So much so that Abi would call Isa's mother grandmother from that moment on.
