A Different Way To Finding Each Other

Family Reunited

Dana, Stuart, Lena and Papa Thomas were at the FBI Center in San Diego as Stef walked in as Lena hugged her. Dana saw her baby boy and cried happy tears as Stuart and Papa Thomas looked on as they wiped their tears. "MY BABY BOY!!!!" Dana yelled out in glee as she smiled wide.

Stuart and Thomas hugged Nate hard.

"Hi mama," Nate added as they both hugged hard as he hugged his dad, Papa Thomas and Lena after. Fran Morgan and her daughters, Sarah and Desiree eyed their mother as Derek Morgan came through the door. "BABY BOY!" Fran Morgan replied as he smirked as she hugged him hard.

"Ma I'm fine," Derek said. "Trust me."

"I can't. Your my only son," she replied as he grinned. "You scared me and the FBI will hear from me."

"Ma it's not their fault. Orders are orders," Derek replied. "Alright?"

Fran Morgan rolled her eyes as she locked eyes with her dad, her brother and the rest of Adams and Adams Foster family. 

"I'll be in the car," Thomas Adams replied. "Too tired."

"I'll go," Stuart replied as he followed his dad out. Lena, Dana, and Stef watched as Nate and Derek were summoned by Commanders  Green and Phelps for a debriefing as Fran went ballistic.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Fran asked. "A fucking debriefing?"

"Ma!" Derek yelled. "It's their job and mine."

Dana was upset too, but she knew the rules and respected the Military, but wished Nate could rest and knew it was a no-win scenario in the end as she sighed. She joined her baby girl and daughter-in-law and waited in the waiting room.

Fran was fuming. "Don't you care about your son Dana?"

"I do. But I respect the Military and follow the rules and I won't shame my son by cursing at his Commanding officers."

Fran's eyes went wide. "I did no such thing."

"Mom she's right," Sarah replied. "You cursed them out."

Fran scoffed and ignored Dana and her own daughters. Dana spoke up.

"You are mad your family moved on after you ran off. What did you expect?"

"He is still my father and I gave him grandchildren," she snapped.

"Then where were you?" Lena asked. "How could you let your husband believe my grandparents wouldn't accept black in the family?" 

"I um," she replied. "It's what he thought."

"But you knew that wasn't the case," Dana added. "You had black friends you had over all the time and they even went on family vacations."

"Ma is this true?" Sarah asked.

"Yes but?" she replied. "I just didn't think."

"You let your husband believe and you ran off with him. My grandparents didn't know why you ran off or with whom," Lena replied.

"Your mother adored me," Dana added. "Till the first time I met her to the time she passed on."

Fran bit her lip. Then she saw the necklace on Lena. "Isn't that my mother's necklace?"

"It is and she gave it to me her first granddaughter," Lena replied.

"It should have been given to my daughter Sarah. She's a lot older than you," Fran replied.

"But she never knew about Sarah or your other kids. Because you chose that," Lena replied. "She gave it to me when I turned twelve and when my daughter turns twelve I will give it to her," Lena replied. "Her birthright."
