Chapter 1 My New Life
It had been three months since Detective Amanda Rollins had gone from wide eyed single Atlanta girl to coupled up parent of two teen girls.
It took Amanda about two weeks to get used to her new role as mother she quickly learned that it wasn't as easy as people made it out to be.
She found a nice school in Manhattan that both Christy and Vicky begged Amanda to let them attend and after countless days of pushing Amanda finally gave in and enrolled them, it was an all girls Art school.
Today would be the first time she could really consider herself a mom she went and knocked on the girls room after getting dressed herself to wake them up.
"Christy Vicky time to get up." she called.
Christy came to the door dressed in a tight red shirt with white sleeves and blue jeans with a pair of black boots.
"Mourning mom I'm already dressed and Vicky is just finishing we'll be ready in a few". Christy said as Amanda went to the kitchen and heated up an instant oatmeal cup and ate it before she grabbed her gun jacket and badge.
Just as Amanda was finishing her oatmeal she noticed Christy and Vicky in the kitchen.
"Hey you two I've got just enough time to take you guys to school and get to work lets go." Amanda said switching into full mom mode as the trio left for the car.
"Mom why doesn't Lucy have to get up yet?" Vicky asked.
"I told you Vic Lucy's got class at 10 she doesn't need to be up yet." Amanda replied.
"Hey Mom do you know if you'll be home for dinner tonight?" Christy asked.
"I'll try to, you guys know with work I can never be sure but if I'm not Lucy will be and I told her to make pasta tonight."
Twenty minutes later Amanda pulled up to the school and looked at her daughters.
"Here we are Masters high you guys go ahead I'll see you guys at home behave I love you both."
Christy And Vicky walked through the doors where greeted by a tall woman with straight blonde hair as she spoke with a microphone.
"Good mourning students welcome to a new year at Masters High I am your principal Jenny Santos we are going to jump right into it today your schedules have been organized by last names report to the gym on the forth floor to pick up your schedules and take your id photos."
Christy and Vicky followed the crowd of people to the gym where they picked up their schedules and took their ID pictures and where given their IDs.
The sisters glanced at each others programs and noticed they shared an English class and the same lunch period.
"Well Chris looks like we will be having a class together just like before".
"Alright well I have history first while you have art guess I should get going I'll see you in English sis."
"Alright then later."
The sisters broke off in different directions and headed off to class.
Meanwhile across town Amanda had walked into the squad room where she found Finn Amaro and Munch doing there usual mourning banter routine when Finn noticed Amanda walk in.
"Hey Rollins."
"Hey Finn whats on deck today?"
"Nothing yet lets hope it stays that way."
"Yeah no kidding Amanda replied as she sat down organizing paper work Liv had taken to a filing system for old cases after there ordeal all those months ago.
Four hours later ADA Alex Cabot walked into the squad room and greeted her second family.
"Hey guys slow day I see."
"Yeah it is Alex what can we do for you?" Amanda asked.
"I was actually coming to talk to you Amanda."
"Sure Alex whats up?"
"I know you enrolled your nieces in Masters high".
"I did Alex and I forgot to tell you Christy and Vicky are my daughters now".
"Oh that's right I heard something about it congratulations".
"Thanks Alex".
"Your welcome Amanda but I wanna ask you about Christy and Vicky."
"What about them Alex?"
"Casey is taking guardianship of her niece since her mom died and she has no one else, shes flying in later today Casey was looking for a good art school for Nikki and she found Masters maybe Nikki could drive them to school maybe she could help take the stress off you and make life easier for you".
"I would like that Alex get her settled and come over we can talk more about it".
"Hows 6 sound?"
Great I'll see you just ring the bell the girls should be home."
"Okay see you then."
"Thanks Amanda is your captain in her office?"
"She should be go ahead in"
"Thanks"
Alex went into Olivia's office.
"Hey Liv you look good."
"Hey Alex whats up?"
"Nothing much just passing by on a slow day".
"Okay I passed by the office today heard you and Casey are going to have a new addition congratulations"
"Thanks Liv I just spoke to your blonde super cop outside how do you keep your hands off her at work?"
"Its hard but I do it I just keep reminding myself I get my fill of Amanda when I get off work."
"Speaking of which I know you two have only been together almost four months but from what I've seen with you and Amanda why don't you just ask her to move in".
"I want to but I don't want to upset what Amanda has with the girls".
"Nonsense Liv if Amanda loves you and from the few times I've seen you with the girls they adore you".
"They do but I've always lived alone".
"I know you have but this is your chance at some semblance of a normal life don't screw it up by being insecure trust me its worth it".
"I will Alex thank you."
"No problem Liv I have to head back to the office you might be seeing me this afternoon I'm going over to Amanda's with Nikki".
"Alright I'll see you later then."
Olivia spent the rest of the day going through paper work lucky for her no cases popped up the whole day.
Around 5 Amanda finished her paper work and decided to leave before she left she stopped into Olivia's office.
"Hey Liv I'm heading home you coming over love?"
"Of course just after I finish putting these files together."
"Alright then love I'll see you."
Olivia walked over to Amanda and gave her a heated kiss.
"Liv if that's your way of saying you want to stay over all you had to do was ask honey."
"I'll be there in a little bit then".
Olivia watched as Amanda left her office as she returned to her work
Amanda made it home just as Alex Casey and Nikki were settling in.
"Hey girls Casey Alex".
"Amanda I'd like you to meet my niece Nikki Novak."
Casey introduced Amanda to Nikki who was a taller slightly darker version of Casey.
"Its nice to meet you Nikki."
"Same here Ms Rollins". Nikki said respectfully.
"Nikki you can call me Amanda why don't you hang out with Lucy Vicky and Christy while I talk to your aunt Casey and Alex."
Nikki introduced herself to the three other girls and they quickly hit it off while the others were talking in the other room.
"So Casey Alex told me you were starting Nikki off in Masters high tomorrow."
Yeah I think she could do really well at Masters since she has her car she can drive Christy and Vicky" .
I don't see the harm in that Casey."
"What year is Nikki in?"
"Shes a senior this year."
"That's nice her and Christy might be able to bond this will be good for the girls after the rough couple of months they've had". Amanda said smiling.
"So Amanda wheres Liv at?" Alex asked.
She should be on her way just as she answered her question the group heard a knock at the door.
Amanda went to answer it when she opened the door it happen to be a very stressed out Olivia who walked in and greeted her friends and girlfriend.
"Casey Alex hey."
"Hey Liv they both responded.
Amanda cleared her throat try to get Olivia's attention.
"Relax Mandy I didn't forget about you babe."
Olivia planted a heated kiss on Amanda.
"Well someones trying to get laid tonight." Alex quipped.
"Shut up Alexander Lauren Cabot you would be the same way if you knew how sweet this Georgia peach really was".
Liv the girls are in the other room now apologize to our guests or someones not going to be seeing Georgia peach pie for a week."
"You wouldn't"
You wanna test that theory captain?" Amanda said in stern voice.
"No Mandy."
"I'm sorry Alex."
"Its okay Liv."
Olivia prepared herself a plate of pasta and sat to talk with her closest friends and girlfriend as she ate.
"So Alex when are you gonna make an honest woman out of Casey, you two have been dating for two years I mean come on already".
Actually its funny you should mention that Liv because I did want to ask Casey something I waited for you to show up so here it goes."
The room went silent.
"Casey Novak will you move in with me?"
Alex opened small black box with a key and waited for an answer.
"Alex Cabot I only have one thing to say to you."
"What took you so long I'd be honored."
"Thank you Case."
Frankly I knew you were going to ask me for a while since you remodeled your place I can move my stuff along with Nikki's in a couple days".
They shared a chaste kiss before Nikki came into the room.
"Cant you keep your hands off your girlfriend for one minute Aunt Casey?" Nikki said playfully.
"Sorry Nikki but I cant help it if I'm in love with the sexiest ADA in New York."
"I so didn't need to hear that aunt Casey but can I drive to school tomorrow since its Friday?"
Actually you can and you'll be picking up Christy and Vicki too."
"I'm game thanks Aunt Casey Nikki replied as she walked back out"
"Your niece seems like she really enjoying being around Vicky Lucy and Christy Casey" Amanda stated.
"Well shes pretty much a social butterfly I think New York will be good for her." Casey replied.
"Well Amanda thanks for inviting us its getting late we can catch up another time I'll make sure Nikki is here by seven tomorrow."
"Alright Casey Alex I'll see you guys later."
Casey Alex and Nikki left.
Olivia and Amanda cleaned up and spent some with the girls.
Well girls its getting late off to bed you two Amanda directed Christy and Vicky as Lucy was on the computer doing work.
"Well Lucy we are going to bed make sure the door is locked before going to sleep".
"I will aunt Amanda goodnight Olivia"
"Night Lucy." she replied as she followed Amanda to bed.
"Well this was a nice day honey."
"It was Liv now go to sleep no funny business tonight Lucy still up."
"Amanda please you had me going insane today." Olivia pleaded.
"No Liv you need your rest tomorrow I promise baby I'll give you twice as much loving."
"Okay Amanda I love you."
"Love you too Liv."
Amanda laid awake for a bit thinking "I love my new life".
