Inside a dressing room in which clothes of all kinds are hung, Pept.i.to Gonzales suddenly stops his steps. This little yellow shirt with orange checks! Looking at it, the mouth of the handsome Pepito arches upwards, then downwards when he thinks back to that day. That day! It was indeed this day that triggered everything that followed.To return to this precise day without mentioning Pepito"s past would not allow us to visualize the whole situation, nor to understand the life that the young man, now 16 years old, led. To do this, an immersion in the past is necessary.
3 September 1998
In a small house in a New Jersez town, Mr. Gonzales, 22 years old and Mrs. Gonzales, 18 years old, are about to welcome a third person who after today, will forever be part of their family.
As was the case for many women of that time, locked in her humble room, Diane Webster, who became Diane Gonzales 5 months ago by force of circ.u.mstance, decided to give birth in her own home. Television said it: It"s better for the baby. This allows the children to become very sociable from birth.
In the living room, the future father of the baby whose s.e.x is still uncertain (Television said it: Ignoring the baby"s gender until he is born is better. This allows parents to love their child more, whatever his gender.) drinks a beer in front of a good old western, as we knew how to do at the time.
If Diane and Jose, they got married, it was under the constraint of their families who refused that the child of these two unconscious young people, come into the world within a family living in sin. Forced to unite their lives, they kissed each other the church in a mitigated atmosphere.
Jose grimace. Couldn"t Diane scream less loudly? Does she realize that a quality western looks at itself in calm? Several times he wanted to enter the room to tell her to turn down the volume down, but all his attempts ended in failure when the midwives rejected him.
For her part, Diane is suffering more than ever. Tears flow abundantly from her beautiful blue eyes, as she prays that her child would no longer delay showing up.
"Oin, oin, oin, oin"
Diane no longer screams, but a new voice disturbs Jose"s tranquility, as he swears and throws his remote control on the couch. In order to avoid this ordeal, Jose then decides to go out to empty himself a few beers in the company of friends who will help him to find serenity.
Jose walks towards the front door when one of the midwives screams toward him from the bedroom.
"Congratulations Mr. Gonzales, you"re the proud father of a handsome little boy."
What? So it"s not a girl? All the women in the neighbourhood maintained that a girl would show up today. Demoralized at the thought of having to share his life with two women, Jose never wanted this kid. However, a boy is very different.
Jose, will teach him how to throw a baseball. Together, they will discuss the difficulties of man"s life and when his child is 12 years old, together, they will start draining beers between father and son.
Right now, Jose"s heart is warm. Except for the day he bought his first car, his smile has never been so big. The happy new daddy can"t wait any longer. Like a tornado, he starts running towards the room. He ejects the midwife in the process and rushed into the bedroom.

"My son, how handsome and tall you are. Your father and so proud of you. Oh, honey, nice work too, and now get some rest, I"ll take care of the rest."
6 months of relative joy pa.s.sed in the modest house. Between a loving, protective and very attentive mother to her son, and a father who slipped 2 to 3 drops of beer into his son"s baby bottle as soon as his wife back was turned, the child grew peacefully.
G.o.d as the young couple"s family and neighbours witnessed, Diane and Jose made excellent parents for their little boy whom they had named, Pepito.
Between twittering and tears, Pepito blossoms every day more and more, but he never laughed. Unable to deny the evidence any longer, the young father and mother became very worried and after consulting each other, they decided to take little Pepito to see a child psychologist.
