Summary: With all love do you feel... Do you believe in past lives?
In this part - Manuel Neuer arrives to Heathrow Airport and meets the core of the trip: Laetitia Aubrey.
Previously Manuel Neuer arrived to London without the spotlight. He wants to know the truth about a young English lady, named Laetitia, that apparently was product of a one time stand between his father Peter and an Englishwoman named Kassandra.
Laetitia didn't know about the existence of this trip.
Laetitia's mother didn't tell her yet about her inception, the truth behind her existence. She will be several months of having sixteen knowing that her mother had been cheating her for that time period.
But the encounter will be concreted at the same Airport, with Alexis and Gary.
"I'm so anxious, Alexis" Laetitia says "I hope he can speak English"
"He does" Alexis says "...he does"
Her heartbeat is faster than in the way from Bury to Heathrow.
Gary pets her hair.
"You look great today" Neville says.
"Thanks, Gary" she says while her skin blushes.
Sánchez's heartbeat is so fast... faster than Laetitia's. His heart beats of joy, of unknown, but happy feelings from the native from Gelsenkirchen.
Then, Manu arrives.
"Laetitia" Alexis says "he is Manuel Neuer, international German goalkeeper. Manuel... she is Laetitia"
"Very nice to meet you, Manuel..." Laetitia claims with her acute voice and a notorious Manc accent.
"Nice to meet you too, Laetitia..." Manuel says "I heard that your name means joy...is that true?"
"Yes..." she answers "It's from Latin language."
"How do you spell your first name?" Neuer asks her in English with a notorious accent, but good and proper pronounciation.
"L-A-E-T-I-T-I-A"
"So, it's with an 'a', but you make the omission."
"That's correct" she says.
Laetitia was full of anxiety. She wants to hug Manu, but she can't. She's with a stranger, apparently... but at the same time she feels deep inside
that for real is her brother. That she has German roots inside her blood. That her mother lied to her for almost sixteen years.
"When is your birthday?" Manuel asks her.
"April 16th"
Alexis and Gary gets far away from Laetitia and Manuel, so they can talk to each other.
"Hey, Laetitia. Your mother made a good choice with your name."
Laetitia just grins and walks with him to take a taxi cab, which will lead them into the highway for taking them back to Bury, Manchester.
"Quick, Alexis! Mate, let's take my car, let's follow them"
"They will take the sample!! I have Manu's blood!" Alexis says
"But the sample has several days, it will not be worthy after all, Sánchez. Leave it..."
"Blimey, mate!"
But indeed Alexis presses the blood tube and directs it against his heart.
"It's a love I cannot decodify after all..." Alexis whispers.
Then, Gary follows the taxi cab. Meanwhile inside the transportation, the German goalkeeper asks Laetitia:
"How did you noticed that I'm...your...alleged brother?"
"Because first, I don't have siblings among my mother and my alleged father. Second, no one of my cousins has talent for sports and third, my father
is like zero for languages. And also, my father is brown haired and my mother is ginger; but... I'm blonde if you know what I'm saying...
so as my nose, look at my nose..."
"Alright"
"And my lips"
"Alright"
"Did you know that I get pregnant----?"
"Don't tell me that story... that's digusting, considering that Sir Alex was the responsible of such horror!! Schwein!" Neuer exclaims.
"Schwein?"
"Pig" he translates. "Such a pig! I wish I could never met him..." Manuel says. "Do you want to take a picture?"
"Klar! Warum nicht?"
"Wow, good pronounciation... did you learn at school?"
"No, for my own at a free website." she explains.
She turns on her Blackberry's camera.
"Smile..." he says.
"Smile...though your heart is aching" she sings.
After that she presses the button and the photo is taken.
"We look cool! We look alike so much!!" Manuel says. "Let's go to the medical center."
"No, Manuel. First I must introduce you to my mother."
Laetitia looks at the landscape, really nervous, scratching the window; meanwhile at the other car, Gary and Alexis were putting attention to every
move from the taxi cab.
"What?"
Gary frowns.
"Oh dearie, blimey, no no no!"
"What? She will come back to her cribs!! Daym, no!" Neville exclaims.
"Okay, Laetitia, don't screw this up, please... is the only chance you have to know the version of your story for real, baby. Here we go" Alexis says.
Both entered took by the hand to Laetitia's house.
Knock-knock.
"Who are you?"
"Gary and Alexis"
"Aw, come in, come in, gents" Kassandra answers.
Kassandra was really nervous.
"Hello"
"Hello... how do you do today, Mrs.Aubrey?"
"I'm certainly okay, but a little bit nervous"
"Don't worry. Laetitia will be fine"
"Mom" she interrupts.
"Huh?"
"He is Manuel Neuer, from Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Allegedly, he is my half brother. Please, mum, tell the truth now!"
"Okay, dearie, but...sit down, sit down everyone"
"Thanks, ma'am" Manuel says.
"Ma'am??"
"Sorry, is just that I took American English..."
"Okay, better."
Gary and Alexis decided to hide in the same room than Ganymede did once. So, her mother, finally decided to tell the story about her inception.
"Manuel. I know it's so hard for you... that, maybe I cheated her all this time, almost sixteen years from now... she cannot have sixteen without knowing
the truth..."
"Go on. I will listen to you..."
"Okay, here we go..."
Kassandra clears her throat and begins the speech:
"It was 1995. I have a boyfriend named Paul. I was so happy, but he didn't attracted me in the sexual way after all. I didn't want to cheat on him.
I was virgin by the time. And I didn't want to give my virginity. I mean, I didn't feel he was the chosen one.
So, a handsome man was out there, walking around the city. Apparently he was visiting Manchester library. He spoke English in a very rough accent.
A rough German accent. He said his name was Peter.
Well, I gave mine's. So, we started to date and stuff like that. I was beginning to like him, and then, after two weeks I decided to tell him that
I was virgin and I wanted to know how...would be 'the great deal'."
"Great deal?"
"That's how I called the intercourse, honey..."
"So, I told him, that I was virgin and I said that I was so sorry, that I had a boyfriend and whole stuff, that with time maybe I would make my debut,
but he told me: 'I can teach you'. 'Really?' I said. 'Yes'.
I wasn't using any birth control method by the time. I lied to him saying that I was taking birth control pills. So, we went to a hotel near Old Trafford."
"And it happened..." Laetitia says.
"And it happened..."
"That Peter you are talking, would be my father, Peter Neuer??"
"Well, yes."
"As long as I know, my father didn't registered any trip abroad" Neuer tries to rectify Kassandra "It could be another Peter... so, but... with DNA will
prove if the story is true... but continue...I will hear you"
"Do you want me to continue Mr. Neuer or stop it?"
"Continue."
"Okay... it happened and I didn't realized I was pregnant. I didn't feel, the typical symptoms... but as long I didn't have my period, I decided finally
to 'give my virginity' to Paul. So I went to his home, he was alone and I picked up his crotch; masturbated him, I did oral sex and then the rest...
he stands astonished... we made love like no other day. I felt relieved."
"So, my father thought you gave your virginity to him."
"That's right. I passed my second as my first time. Then, I began to get fat. My hips were like, wider. Finally, I decided to make the tests and...
I got pregnant."
"You realized that you were pregnant because you were getting fat"
"Yes, dearie. By the time I had three months. I told him I was pregnant and he was pissed off!! He thought in leaving me, but I couldn't say that...
a German man taught me how to make an intercourse. How I could reveal who was my real instructor??? And then, at the following day; he said to me...
'okay, I will fix this... would you marry me?'. And I said 'I will do it for the baby... is not well seen a single mum inside the family, and less
thinking that I'm Scottish, yes.'
So, when I got four months of pregnancy, they made to me a long dress. I woke up very early, crying."
"Why, mum?"
"Why, Mrs. Aubrey? If it's supposed that is the best day ever in every person's life?" Manuel asks. Soon began to have certain emotion.
"Because they were really cold. They were supposed that I would finish a career and arriving virgin to marriage... my parents didn't understood the
real thing and indeed I was living a lie. I went to the Civil Register over there in Manchester. Paul looked so handsome. He had a grey suite and a
green tie. His hair was full of gel, his face was shaved. Only my parents and his were over there, so as... remember your godmother Stanislava?"
"Not so much"
"She was one of my witnesses. So as Henry, my classmate at highschool."
"Stanislava? Mum! She's Morrigane's mother! She's midfielder at Manchester Academy!!!! Holy dear!!"
"Then, finally on 8:40 AM, on October 21st, 1995, we got married."
"Just a question, mum. Did you have a wedding night?"
"Actually no, that's the worst part. We didn't want to have sex because of the baby... it was so dark, so cold. And indeed... there wasn't a party."
Kassandra sobs.
So as Manu.
Laetitia consoles Manuel.
"Wow, mum! I didn't know it was so cold... your wedding day, and all because of me!"
She runs away.
"Wait, wait!"
Manu goes behind her. She was sobbing, really sad.
"Now I know the reason why they didn't celebrate their anniversary. Because the wedding was really cold... I'm the guilty of all these things."
"No, Laetitia. It's not your fault!" Manu says crying "Look! The destiny made you, a wonderful girl. You're a Chelsea Lady now, as far as I barely
know. Maybe the mistake she made was not waiting for the chosen one."
"But my father was her first boyfriend."
"Don't blame her for that. Don't worry. We we'll go to Manchester University for taking the samples. Okay? They will know if your mother's story is
true and if I'm really your half brother. It's so hard to cope with it, but I know deep inside my heart, that despite you don't have siblings; you
already won a brother by heart."
"So, I could say that I'm your half sister, so as Herr Neuer's lovechild."
"Well, not precisely. let's leave the first part" Manuel says. "Herzlich wilkommen, schwester!" he said sobbing and hugging her.
Both were crying.
Meanwhile...
"Wow, finally!" Gary says.
"I hope that finally Laetitia can have a sibling for real."
"I don't think so" Gary said. "Maybe they'll get divorced. No one will know what the hell what's going to happen over here, blimey!"
After that, they left her home.
Gary and Alexis decided to follow them in the trip to the Manchester University for taking the DNA samples.
When they arrived, they get into a full-glass complex with a huge dome. It was the Science and Technology laboratory.
"Manuel Neuer"
"Yes"
"Laetitia Aubrey?"
"Yes"
"Come over here"
They sat down.
But the card under the sleeve was going to be revealed. Gary and Alexis were following them discretely, but Alexis decided to take the blood tube.
"Alexis, Alexis! What the heck---"
The Tocopillan runs and says:
"It's not necessary. Look what I've got!"
"The hair from my goalkeeper glove! And my blood! Alexis!!!"
They check out the blood tube and decided for the blood tube for the first sample. After that, they made Laetita wait.
Meanwhile, she was really nervous. It was a magical trip for her, specially thinking that maybe she was an Aubrey for real or maybe a Neuer.
"I'm so afraid, Manuel."
"Why?"
"Because maybe my mother lied to me once more and maybe I'm not your half sister. What if I'm not? If Paul Aubrey is really my father?
Well, my father has SLI, so it's not possible..."
"SLI?"
"Specific Language Impairment. In the Expressive mode. There are two kinds. Expressive and Mixed. Sometimes my father pronounces words like so
weird, because of that. And I speak really well and I didn't get SLI."
"I didn't hear about it. But well" Manu says sighing "if you are really an Aubrey, you will keep this day in your heart as the day you met a high
performance professional international footballer in the same position as you. But, of course we'll keep on touch."
"And...if is true?"
"I will do whatever to contact my father and tell him about his... unfaithfulness with a virgin."
"I'm not interested in Herr Neuer." she says "with this I will know that I'm half English-Scottish half German. I'm proud of my Manc roots!"
she states "if my German roots call me, maybe I'll express my will for playing at the Frauennationalmannschaft"
"But your parents didn't know about this!?"
"If it's true, maybe my parents will get divorced, and maybe it's too late."
"In case if it's true and your parents get divorced, call me, because maybe I can be your legal tutor; specially if it's about having your double
nationality---"
"Laetitia Aubrey!"
"Okay, here we go... auf geht's Mädchen! Be strong!"
Laetitia grins while coming into the sample room.
She get his fist tight, according to the nurse's instruction. After that, the rubber string gets her arm tighter. The vein is notorious...
and finally the needle with the tube. The blood is rising and she takes a deep breath and then
feels a shoulder-patting and takes her opposite hand to take it.
The ice is on her arm; the patch with a tiny cotton flake is on her arm.
"Thanks for patting my shoulder"
"It wasn't me" he said.
She gasps.
Alexis saw who was the man. It was Sir Matt Busby.
"At last, Alexis! Finally she will know the truth...God bless this girl full of joy."
Sánchez gasps.
He saw the Busby Babes crew outside of the campus.
Laetitia saw the crew outside.
"But these are the....Busby...Babes...holy dear"
The Busby Babes were blessing her, patting her shoulder, so as Alexis' and Manuel's.
She has a huge smile upon his face. Gary didn't saw them. But he knows that a new start for her will begin soon.
Anyways...
it was more than just a simple DNA test. It was the first time she ever lived a paranormal fact. Alexis felt the crew and Manuel too.
But at difference from them, Manu didn't saw the spirits of the players which lives were lost in München.
