A Different Way To Finding Each Other

Snowed In

Mike and Nicole were watching a movie with the little twins and they were all packed to go to another summer home of the Quinn's, but in Big Bear. He put in a RSVP and Mike smirked and Nicole smiled. "Was that so bad?" she asked.

"No. It felt good and we are getting the downstairs apartment. It has a master and two small rooms," Mike said. Nicole smiled wide.

"And we need to get snow gear for all of us," Nicole reminded him. He groaned.

"Tomorrow?" Mike begged. She nodded as they made love again.

After lovemaking, "Mike?" she asked.

"Hmm?" I want to adopt Ian and Isabella. Make it official."

"You do?" he asked as she nodded with a huge smile. "I would love to adopt the big twins, but that won't be allowed."

"I would love that. I need to let Ana know and her rights were taken away once they were born."

"And I think Isabella needs to see someone. Biting is not okay and I'm not sure if it is about the genes."

"I agree. I think of Callie as my daughter after the what if daydream I had," he added as he filled her in.

She nodded. "I understand. Well on the adoption and the therapy?"

"Agreed," Mike added as he eyed her. "Anything else?"

"I told the big twins they can call me mom and they told me they don't need another one."

"I can understand them. They are fourteen going on fifteen and three mothers is a lot. You can be a mom to them, but they don't need to call you mom if they don't want to."

She nodded and kissed his face as they went to take showers. 

Ian and Isabella were told and they were excited. "You want to adopt us and be our mommy?"

"I do," she added. "Well?"

"Yes and what about Ana?" they asked.

"We will talk with her," Nicole replied. "But just me and daddy. Kids can't go."

Robert got snow gear for his kids and snow shoes and sleds as they went to The North Face and they all went to get lunch at a taco shop. They each got Carne Asada chips or fries with soda as they waited for their food.

"Daddy is it going to snow in Big Bear?" Callie asked the first week of December.

"It might baby princess," he replied as the girl smiled wide as her smile faded as a girl came in and glared at Callie. Robert and the boys turned and eyed the Latina.

"Who is that?" Robert asked.

"Mariana," Callie whispered as the Latina came over.

"If it isn't the girl who has it all," Mariana cried out. "You cost me a family."

"You hurt a friend and your caseworker lied to the family. Your lucky you aren't in juvie for abusing the daughter of your foster moms."

"Leave now. Before I call the cops," Robert replied. 

"I'm Martin Fitzgerald. You are?"

"Robert Quinn Jr."

"Why are you harassing my charge?"

"It is the other way around. And we have a restraining order on her."

"Mariana? Why?" he asked since he's new.

Robert gave him the papers and Martin's eyes went wide. "Mariana lets go."

"It is your fault Callie," she added.
