"MOMMY!!"
Sara awoke from the dream she was having after hearing her daughter's cry. She ran quickly into Mia's room but didn't see her. She then ran into the living room and found her daughter sitting at the kitchen table coloring.
"Mia, what's wrong?' She ran over and bent down staring at her daughter's bright brown eyes.
"I colored this for you." Mia told her simply and gave Sara the piece of paper.
Sara's heart rate slowly returned to normal. "You scared me to death. I thought you were hurt."
Mia's eyes began to water. "I'm sorry. Are you mad at me?"
Sara wrapped her arms around her daughter and held her closely. "No sweetie, mommy's not mad."
Warrick came rushing inside. "Is she okay?"
"She's fine. She just got excited about her picture." Sara pulled away from her daughter and showed her husband the picture.
Warrick smiled. "That's beautiful princess. Can I put it on the fridge?"
Mia nodded. "Sure daddy." She ran over to the fridge and grabbed one of the alphabet magnets off of it. Warrick walked over to her and handed her the picture. Mia pinned and smiled at her artwork. "N." She said pointing to the letter.
"Very good. Whose name starts with N?" Warrick and Sara have been working with Mia on her letters and numbers.
"Dad's. His name is Nick Stokes."
"That's right princess." Mia's face lit up graciously accepting the praise she was receiving.
Sara stood back and watched. Three years ago, she would have never guessed that her life would have turned out like this. She and Nick had been dating and he had hurt her badly. She soon learned she was pregnant and turned to the one person she knew she could trust. Warrick. He's been at her side every since and they were now happily married. Nick came by every day to spend time with Mia. Warrick and Nick told her how special she was to have two fathers that loved her very much. Sara knew that both men would never let anything bad happen to their girl. Mia had trouble at first trying to figure out about the daddy situation. She called Warrick daddy and Nick dad. That way it wouldn't be so confusing. Still, she was only three and there was a lot she didn't understand. Sara decided to give Mia Nick's last name. She felt that she owed him that much. Warrick signed adoption papers for Mia and she was now legally his. Nick wanted a stable home for his only girl.
She noticed that it got quiet in the room. She glanced over and realized they were staring at her. "What?"
"Are you okay mommy?" Mia asked as she tucked a strand of brown hair behind her ear.
'She gets that from me.' Sara thought. "I'm fine. I was just thinking how lucky I am."
Warrick walked over and wrapped her in a hug. "I love you Sara."
"I love you too."
"Hey! What about me?" Mia replied. Warrick pulled away from Sara and grabbed his little girl.
"Come here you." He picked her up and put her between him and Sara. Sara began tickling her.
"Stop it." Mia laughed but really didn't mind. She loved when her parents did this. She began to laugh so hard; tears began to pour down her face.
"Okay princess. You need to eat some supper." Warrick put her down and walked to the cabinet. "So, what do you want?"
"I want a kid's meal."
"No kid's meal tonight sweetie." Sara told her.
Mia turned to look at her mother. Her face began to scrunch up. Sara knew what was coming. "Don't give me that look. You can eat something here tonight."
"I want a kid's meal!"
"Mia, I said no." Sara hated to be so stern but she couldn't let her daughter get her way all the time.
Mia began crying and threw her crayons in the floor.
"Mia Alexis Stokes, go to your room!" Sara stated and pointed toward the bedroom.
"But."
Warrick decided he better step in. "No buts, your mother told you to go to your room."
"No fair!" Mia ran in her room and shut the door. Sara felt like a piece of her heart had been ripped out.
She walked over and began picking up the crayons off the floor. Warrick bent down and helped her. Once they were done, he looked at her. "Sara, why don't you go lay down. You've got to be at work in a few hours."
Since Mia's birth, Sara and Warrick decided to work different shifts. Sara stayed on nights because of her sleeping habits and Warrick went on first. This way Mia was always with one of them. "I need to talk to her."
"Okay, but after that get some rest." Warrick leaned over and kissed her. Sara wrapped her arms around him and deepened their kiss. After a few passionate moments, she pulled away.
"I'm going to check on her." She gave him a smile and walked to her daughter's door. She knocked gently and walked in. Mia was sitting on the bed clutching the teddy bear Nick gave her for Christmas. "Hey baby." She made her way over to the bed and sat down.
Mia looked up at her. "I love you mommy."
"I love you too, but when mommy or daddy tells you no, we mean it." Sara reached over and wrapped Mia in a tight hug.
"I'm sorry. Daddy gonna make me supper?"
"Of course, what do you want?" Sara watched as Mia pulled away and smiled.
"Mac and cheese."
"I think he can do that. Do you want something to go with it?"
Mia nodded and gave her mom a smile. "Hot dog."
"Okay. Give mommy a kiss and then go tell daddy to cook for you."
Mia kissed her. "Going to work?"
"In a little bit." She told her. "I'll bring you back something from the lab okay."
"Okay." Mia jumped off the bed and ran toward the door. Sara could hear her giving Warrick her food order. Sara laughed to herself and went back to her own bedroom. She wasn't sure if she was going to be able to sleep much, but she was going to try. She could hear laughing from the other room. Sara got settled back in bed and let the sound of laughter lure her to sleep.

The next morning, Sara was in the locker room gathering her stuff to take home. Nick came in and smiled at her.
"Rough night, huh?"
"Yeah, I hate cases like those." She replied. She and Catherine had to work on a rape case and Sara was trying her best to forget it.
Nick decided to change the subject. "How's Mia doing?"
Sara's face lit up. "She's great. She's getting so big."
He smiled. "I was going to ask if I could take her to the park later."
"I'm sure she would love that." Sara grabbed her jacket and shut her locker. "Call me and I'll get her ready."
"Thanks Sara." He leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I'll see you in a few hours."
She watched him leave and soon followed in behind heading toward her car. She stopped by the grocery store and picked some things for Mia's lunch and Warrick's supper. When she walked in the door, she was instantly greeted by Warrick. He pulled her into a passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around him as deepened their kiss. Just as Warrick's hands began to make their way under Sara's shirt, Mia came running in the room.
"Mommy! You're home!"
Sara and Warrick pulled away. "Hey sweetie. Did you sleep well?" She bent down and picked her daughter up.
"Yeah, Daddy and I watched a movie and then we went to bed." Mia turned to stare at her dad. "Are you going to work now?"
He nodded. "Sorry princess, but I have to." He closed the distance between them and kissed Mia's forehead. "Be good for mommy."
"I will. Love you Daddy."
"Love you too." He then kissed Sara good-bye and left for work. Once he was gone, Sara put Mia back down.
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
"No, pancakes?"
"I guess I can make some. Oh, guess what?"
Mia's face lit up. "What?"
"I talked to your dad and he's going to take you to the park today."
"Really? Yay!!" Mia danced around the kitchen.
Sara laughed as she watched Mia and then went to work fixing breakfast for the two of them.
