Memories of January 24, 2013
Now let's make a pause to place us in time and see how the families whose memories I've been posting are doing. First let's go to Starlight Shores with Miranda y Mike Langerak.
Melissa Langerak is the daughter of Miranda and Mike. She's still a toddler, but she's growing up well under the care of her loving parents.
Miranda has taken a few days off from work to take care of Melissa, and also because she's expecting her second baby.
Mike is taking it easy too. Both he and Miranda had to put their careers aside, at least for the moment, to be able to fulfill their parental obligations, and enjoy those at the same time!
Being parents has been a great experience for both, but it has been exhausting as well, especially for Miranda, because of ther pregnancy which is far along.
Melissa is a very restless little girl, and she demands a lot of attention, but even with this, the days go by peacefully for the Langerak-Chos.
Things have not been as easy for Kurtis Langerak, Mike's older brother. Back there in Hidden Springs Kurtis, or 'Kurt' as everybody calls him, has a succesful career as a singer, and a good marriage with Amber Neville, who is successful as well in her Medicine career.
Amber and Kurtis had a daughter, Shantel, who is a sweetheart. Life smiled to them, but suddenly a little matter from the past fell back on them.
When Kurt lived in Starlight Shores, before marrying Amber, he had an affair with Becky Lack, who was his ex girlfriend at that time. that affair happened shortly before he married Amber. And now it happens that hat Becky has moved to Hidden Springs.
From her romance with Kurtis a son was born, Brandon. Unfortunately, Kurtis knew about Becky's pregnancy when he was already engaged with Amber and he couldn't do anything except giving Brandon his last name.
Obviously, when Brandon grew up, and he and his mother went to live to Hidden Springs, he demanded to know who his father was and asked if he could meet him.
After gettig a house and a jov, Becky contacted Kurtis and informed her that she and Brandon lived now in Hidden Springs, and that Brandon wanted to meet him. Kurtis could not say no.
Becky and Brandon went to Kurtis' house.
It was a great shock for Kurtis to see Becky again. He never truly forgot her aand if he had known about the baby sooner, he would have probably married her. But they will never be able to be together now. The best Kurtis can do is to help Becky with Brandon education and other needs.
Until now, Shantel had been the center of attention of her parents, daddy's little girl All the money, food, candy, toys and clothes that her father could pay for had been entirely for her. Now she will share all that with her half brother Brandon. At that time she was still very little to feel affected by this. Amber, her mother, however, didn't like the situation at all, but she had to resign herself. She understands it's Kurtis obligation to look after his son.
Kurtis was kind of relieved to know that Brandon wasn't helpless anymore. All the Langeraks are very attached to the family. Kurt is not the exception.
Time continued to go by, Shantel grew up like a princess. All her whims were granted, even with Brandon's existence, she continued getting the same amount of attention, maybe even more.
Maybe that's why Shantel turned into a very outgoing and self confident girl, although but also, because she was so pretty, she turned out to be a little vain, snooty, and very, very whimsical. That was just as a child...
When she became a teen, things got worse. Shantel's beauty was undeniable, and she always knew it. She was the queen of the prom, Hidden Springs beauty queen and the girl of many boys' dreams.
But she never liked the boys her own age, she preferred the older ones, starting with her uncles, which were closer to her. Nothing stopped Shantel from flirting with her own realtives, such as her unbcle Tony Langerak, the adventurer, whom she had admired since she was a little kid.
Shantele has put Tony in a lot of trouble, and not only him but other adult men in the family who were no less handsome, like Shark Racket and Amin Kamel. This young lady was and continues to be a headache for her parents. And for all Hidden Springs in general.
Her half-brother Brandon was not far behind her. Once he turned into a teen he became problematic too. He doesn't like to study, his goal is to be an artist like his father, so he insists that he needs to retuirn to Starlight Shores. That's the only thing he thinkis about. His mother doesn't know what to do with him anymore. And that's how things are for the Langeraks at the moment. Both the Langeraks from Hidden Springs and from Starlight Shores. Later we'll see what happens with them.
