-Luke that March 14th at my house, I was completely drunk I do not remember what I did, I just know that the next morning my sister Lucy was with her bloody face, she had told me it was me ... I was like crazy and ... - The cardinal towers took his hand

"My son, you know that God forgives our sins ... the past is behind us, but you can guide the future with the memories of the past - rises tremblingly - Come Cardinal Loud, it's moment of the second election.

"But Cardinal Torres, that's tomorrow," I exclaim, confused.

"True ..." She walks toward the rooms.

At that moment Lincoln did not know what to do and went to one of the windows so he could see the outside of the square of san pedro, such a thing was forbidden and totally but still could not find a place where he could see, resigned returns to his room Assigned and rests. Meanwhile at Royal Woods Ronnie Anne was at work.

-does a few in his calculator-To the olive tree, to the olive tree, to the olive tree, he registers some numbers in his notebook- For cutting a branch of the olive tree I fell

At that moment a small child with brown hair and blue eyes like water, dressed in an orange T-shirt and blue pants, enters the room, approaches Ronnie Anne and sits on his lap

- What are you doing, Mom? -Directs his innocent look towards his mother

"Nothing little Luis ..." he held her down from his lap, "just a little work.

-Mami, why do all my classmates have a mom and a dad? I ask innocently.

Without knowing that answering and trying to withstand the tears that flowed from inside him, it was that ... your father was a good man, he just had to leave ...

"I'll meet you again," I want to meet him. "

-It's time for you to go to sleep is very early ... or late for you to be awake-picks up his son, takes him to his room and clothes him in bed

-Goodnight Mom. She tenderly exclaimed as she watched her mother switch off the light.

"Good evening, my life." He turns his gaze to his son's bed.

Hiding his tears, he went to the first floor where the lord of the reception was sleeping with the television on. Knowing that she could not hear him crying, she is no longer satisfied and her tears begin to sprout like genuine rivers of despair, anguish, but above all sadness, sadness for her son. While she was crying but not being able to see a news on television and she seemed to know that young man, it turned out to be the same one that was with Lincoln in the church.

"Lincoln ..." She wipes her tears. "Pope?" - she walks her wallet in which she had a photo of those that you obtained in the machines to take photos of a fair, in that photo was Ronnie next to her dear Lincoln making jokes to the camera, plus the last photo was erased by the time , She was next to Lincoln giving a kiss like never before seen in a photo-It can not be ... that after all-begins to cry- I still ... loving you

I spent the night of hardship and the adult already Ronnie went to his apartment where he went to see if his little one was sleeping as it was, she went to sleep. The next day in the Vatican all the cardinals went to vote for their next pope, one by one I swear and put the paper, it took more than four hours to finish all of them vote and began the recount of votes sung.

-Other for Cardinal Loud-shouted the cardinal in charge of counting votes

"Congratulations Cardinal Loud, you are the new pope," said Cardinal Torres, who was at his side.

"It's not over yet ... though I'm worried." -While he gave small touches to the table as a sign of nervousness

-of the 173 votes 130 are already yours, he's been counting-I wink his eye- Why nervous? Intoned comment

-I'll be a pope and one of the youngest in history ... because they called me and not another-nervously starts talking quietly in a low voice-because I?, If he's committed evil, why?

"Cardinal Torres gives you his hand." "My son, we all commit evils and you are loved because you are young and pious, have you committed such a great evil that you have not repented of?

"If ..." he looks at the floor in pity, "when I began to do the priesthood, I was not sure ... and ... I have a son whom I do not know yet and only his name ..." he begins to cry in the middle of the session

All the cardinals directed their eyes to the young Loud in which he began to cry on the table as if he were a child

"This is the man who will be the father of all nations!" Shouted a cardinal from the back of the room.

"Quiet brother Lincoln," he places his hand on Lincoln, "we all have our past.

Five minutes passed and the cardinal in charge of the vote continued counting, ignoring what had happened followed. It was about two hours and it was already 19 Hs and the last vote was counted, it was almost unanimous of the 173 votes 169 were in favor of Cardinal Lincoln.

"Do you accept your canonical election as Supreme Pontiff?" Exclaims the cardinal dean

"I agree." He rose from his chair and stared at the Cardinal.

- With what name do you want to be known? I exclaim, looking serious at the young man.

-Dire your eyes to the floor and passes through your mind the memory of the name of your son, but it is blurred by several memories -I will be called Lucas I

At that moment Lincoln assumed as high pontiff and is open the zone of the conclave, at that moment the camarlengo was waiting in the door where it happens first Lincoln. The camerlegno takes him by the arm and together master of pontifical celebrations go to the sacristy of the Sistine chapel to make the necessary preparations for the papacy, while in the background he listened to Te Deum.

"Congratulations ... you're the new pope," exclaimed the camerlegno, "you can erase those files now," he kneels to shine his shoes.

"No, now a new era begins in this church.

"Hold up your promise." She stands up and glares at him.

"Watch your words Camerlengo, because now you are in front of the holy father and could make your life impossible if I want. -Looking his gaze to the face of the camerlegno

The hours passed and it was already 9:00 pm and the Cardinal Proto deacon went out to the window of the balcony, not without having given the warning smoke that a new pope had already been chosen.

Meanwhile in Lucy's house, she had turned on to watch a television show when it was interrupted by a special announcement apparently had already been elected a new pope.

"Jun ... this crap-pulls control."

At that moment a little girl is approaching something sleepy to Lucy.

"Mom, why did you take control of the television?"

"Not for nothing, my little Lulu-makes a signal for her daughter to sit next to her.

At that moment the cardinal proto deacon began to recite these words "Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: Habemus Papam; Eminentissimum ac reverendissimum Dominum, Dominum Lincoln Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem Loud, Qui sibi nomen imposuit Luke I "

Lucy does not move and inert

-Mom-pushes his mother-are you okay? What do you say on TV?

The cardinal on television repeated the words in different languages, more when he said: "I tell you a great joy: We have Pope!! The most eminent and most reverend Lord, Don Lincoln, Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church Loud, Who has given himself the name of Luke I "

- Mom ?, Dad..., Mom freezes !!

- How do you say my little Lulu? A tall dark-skinned man with light brown eyes is approaching.

"Love, are you okay?" Lucy's husband asks when he does not move.

-Andrés ... my love ... you remember when I told you about my brother.

- That bastard that I hit you? He pats his hand.

At that moment Lucy points the television with her index finger and exclaims "It's the new pope"

-Mom, you never told me you had a brother ...

In that moment of silence Lucy gets up without answering to her daughter picks up the telephone of his house and marks a number, at that moment the celebrations were heard in the streets since this would be the second American Pope.

"Who's that white-haired man on TV?"

"That ... is your Uncle ... whom you never met."

- Why? I exclaim tenderly.

"Because he wanted to-"

Meanwhile in the vatican Lincoln on the terrace watching the audience in which he applauded and sang, at that moment one of those next to Lincoln gave him the microphone.

"My children ... pray for a new age begins. -I finish saying these words and I go to the chapel

In the meantime, all the news was full of news because of what the current pope had said, although what they were asking themselves was "Who was this cardinal?" And "Why so young?" The world was astonished to know that he had So little age and I only accept it.

Meanwhile the cell phone rang and it sounded more Ronnie Anne did not answer.

"Answer, please answer ... Ronnie," exclaimed Lucy.

But there was no response from Ronnie Anne, just the answering machine skipped the more the last time I tried it, there was a total silence.

-Hi, Ronnie watches the news ... Ronnie?

They hung up the phone.
