Tessa P.O.V

I can't have any of the guys knowing about Liam they would kill him Liam is my boyfriend but he is 2 years older than me and well They are all really protective of me . Danny thinks of me as his little sister. Mac thinks of me as his niece and my Uncle Don he treats me like his own daughter and I love that I have never had a dad he's in jail and it kind of sucks but Uncle Don is the best substitute dad you could ask for. "What I came up here for was to give you guys your coffee's and uncle mac can Aunt Stel and Linds get a couple of hours off because I need them just know please uncle Mac" I use my cute face

"Fine" Works every time

"Great come on and we will get Dons Partner Jess we are going shopping" There faces light up

"We will take my car to the precinct and get Jess." My aunt Stella grabbed her keys. The drive was quiet. I exit the car

"Are you guys coming in" they look at each other and shrug. We walk in the precinct doors I had just been in no longer than an hour ago. I find My Uncle Dons Desk and then Jess's. "Hey Uncle don I need to borrow Jess for an important assignment." My uncle don looks at me like seriously

"And that would be?" I giggle

"Shopping" Jess grabs her bag. I hug my uncle Don whilst secretly borrowing his credit card form the pocket. We drive to Kelman Mall. we run straight to Abercrombie and Fitch except for poor Lindsay who is Waddling. I search franticly around and soon find the dress section and I run all over again through. I find a nice black dress an LBD every girl had got to have one of that right but its $250. "This is the one"

"It's beautiful Tess but how are you going to pay for it" Lindsay inquires. I pull the credit card out

"With this" I smirk and so does Jess.

"Tell me that's not Dons credit card" Stella begs

"Fine it's not his credit card" I say sarcastically

"Tessa!" Lindsay screams

"What? I mean I do it all the time he pays I just have the card" I go up to the cashier with Jess. "Uncle Don would want you to buy something with this" I hold up the credit card

"You spend his money I have my own ok kiddo" I give her a hug we walk the cashier scans the dress looks at me a bit quizzing when I give her the card then she asks me to sign, I have been able to sign his signature since I was six. We walk around until we all pass la perla. Stella, Lindsay and jess all stop and look in the window.

"If you guys want to go in there to look or buy I will wait out here."

"no way are we leaving you out here" Jess states

"Well I don't think my uncle Don would like use taking me in there plus linds I really don't want to know what you and Danny are" I shudder "you guys either" I look between Stella and Jess. The thought of what her and my uncle Don do is really scary.

"well since I'm 7 months pregnant I'm not going to be needing anything do I'll stay out here" Lindsay sighs. Jess look from her to me

"See ya" Jess says grabbing Stella's arm and dragging her with her.

"So how's baby girl Monroe-Messer today" I say to Lindsay's bump

"Kicks all the time" the baby kicked "Did you feel that" I nod enthusiastically. We chat for 15 minutes about school, work, my mum, Danny and the baby. Eventually my Aunt Stella and Jess come back with two bags each. "Well I'm hungry so can we go to our café down the road." We all nod. We get there and seated right away. An elderly lady came over to take our order

"So what can I get you guys?"

"I will have a cheese burger with chips and a coke. Stella will have a chicken Caesar salad and a coffee black .Lindsey will have a ham burger chips with a sprite" I look to jess I dint know her order

"I'll have a chicken Caesar salad with a coke please" the waitress nods and leaves and comes back shortly without drinks.

"So guys I was wandering if I could have some help"

"with what" Lindsey asks

"wellmysecretboyfirendliamhas invitedmetohisfamilyreuninet hingbutineedhelponhowtotellm yuncledonandtheothers" I say extremely fast

"ok kiddo I didn't get any of that so rewind and slow down" Lindsey suggests

"well my secret boyfriend Liam has invited me to his family reunite thing but I need help on how to tell my uncle don and the others" I repeat slowly and more clearly.

"Well for starters good for you getting a boyfriend kiddo but telling your uncle Don has to be one of those ripping off a band aid thing quick and painless and we won't tell anyone we will let you do that" Lindsey says

"When is it" Stella asks

"Saturday" she nods, unfortunately I'll still be at uncle dons then. Our food came and once we had finished Stella insisted on paying the bill and we went back to the precinct / lab. i decide to go to the precinct to get on my uncle dons good side. "Hey uncle don when are we leaving" I give him a hug

"Now let's go you can go to detective Angell" I hug jess

"Bye Jess" we get home "Hey you want me to make pasta ala mon"

"My favourite dinner what did you do spend all my money shopping"

"Something like that" I mumble the door to the apartment opens as I'm getting the pasta served up. "Hey Jess you want some past I've got plenty"

"Sure" we sit down at the little round table; you could cut the tension with a knife

"Hey uncle Don can I go out on Saturday night" he puts his fork down

"with my boyfriend" I mumble into a nap kin he jumps up

"you have a boyfriend no your too young to have one and you're not going out on Saturday go to your room now!" he yells

"I HATE YOU!" I storm off to my room and pack a bag I ament staying here tonight. I storm out of my room with my duffle bag in my hand "Jess will you drop me off at Danny's please" I mumble trying not to cry was harder than I thought

"He won't like it either!" My uncle Don screams

"Yeah well at least he won't scream at me like my mother did when she was high!" that shut him up jess crabs her keys and I walk out the door

"You pushed to far Don too far" she shakes her head in dismay walks out the door of dons apartment we walk to the car and then drive to Aunt Stell's
