The Other Reagan Girl

Sorry If This Chapter Upsets Anyone!

Chapter 1-Introducing Holly Mary Reagan

It had been 4 months since Joe's untimely death, the family had slowly come to terms with it and the fact that Joe wasn't around anymore. Sundays were especially hard but everyone dealt with them in their own way. Danny dealt with the loss of his brother by eating his portion of the Sunday dinner.

The news had hit everyone hard, but no one took the news harder like nine year old Holly did. Holly Mary Reagan was Joe's daughter. Her mom Angela wasn't ready to settle down and be a cop's wife and a semi-single parent. She signed away her parental rights. It had been Holly and Joe ever since.

The whole family had helped Joe raise Holly. Joe had written his will when he started at the academy just in case anything happened to him. A few days after the funeral, they heard Joe's will being read. He gave Jamie his car, Danny his baseball card collection to share with Jack and Sean, he gave Erin his apartment because it was closer to her work and Nicki's school, however the most precious thing in Joe's life was Holly. Frank got legal guardianship of Holly Mary Reagan.

The others agreed with Joe's decision, Frank had done a great job raising them as children and Holly would be well protected by his protection detail if anything happened. Holly spent most of her time with Frank and Henry when Joe had late or early tours.

Holly remembered coming out of school and seeing her grandpa leant up against his police commissioner issued SUV. She ran over to him "Grandpa" She hugged him, Frank returned the hug "Hey sweetheart"

Holly's thoughts were interrupted when she was nudged from the side, she came out of her daydream, and she looked up and around the room. It was a Sunday so the family was there. They were all looking at Holly.

Holly looked at them all "what's going on?" Henry looked at his great-granddaughter "you tell us Holly" Sean looked at his cousin "You looked like a zombie" Holly looked down at her plate "Sorry"

Frank looked at Holly "you have nothing to be sorry about Holly" Linda looked at her niece "I know how it feels, if it helps" the attention was now on Linda "you lost your dad aunt Linda" Linda nodded "I was 13 at the time but yeah, I still remember that day like it was yesterday, it does get easier but there are some days that are hard cause you'll do something or see something and it will remind you of him"

Holly faintly smiled "do you get upset still Aunt Linda?" Linda smiled "of course I do, he was my dad after all. I have bad days but you learn slowly how to move on but never forget"

Holly went back to her food and trying to ignore the nudges coming from Jamie. Holly used to be close to Jamie until he came back from Boston with his fiancée Sydney. Holly kept her distance from Jamie. The family had noticed that these two used to be best friends but now Holly would hardly talk to him.

As of a few days ago Sydney was no longer in Jamie's life and Jamie thought it was the perfect time to get back his Holly. Jamie was enjoying life as a cop and his first personal assignment was to get his bubbly Holly back. Frank had a plan to get Holly and Jamie close again.

The table was cleared away, Jamie put his jacket on and handed Holly's hers "what's going on Uncle Jamie?" Jamie held his hand out "we are going to go for a little walk" Holly looked around at everyone "don't you have to ask Grandpa first?" Frank heard her "He already did Holly"

Holly held Jamie's hand as they left the house. "What's going on Holly?" Holly knew where this was going, she was smart for a nine year old, of course she was, she was a Reagan. "What do you mean Uncle Jamie?"

Jamie bent down to her level "Before I left for Harvard we were best friends but since I got back, you won't play with me like the others do and you hardly talk to me. What's going on Holly?"

Holly sat on the bench that was nearby, Jamie sat beside her "it's a stupid reason" Jamie looked at the birds trying to find worms "I want to hear this stupid reason" Holly looked down at her hands, she carried Joe's badge around with her "You left me, when my dad had a tour I had to stay with Grandpa. I missed you"

Jamie hugged her "You felt like I had abandoned you and replaced you with Sydney" Holly just nodded. Jamie laughed "Holly, how can I replace you? You are my niece, I love you and I always will. I am sorry I left you and you felt abandoned. I bet Uncle Danny didn't help things while I was away"

Holly shook her head, Holly had a great relationship with everyone but Jamie was clearly her favourite unless she needed something or she was in trouble then it was Uncle Danny to the rescue. "Your dad didn't leave this world wanting us to be separated; he'd want you to be able to talk to anyone of us"

Jamie turned to his niece "Can you forgive me Holly? I promise I will try to be a better uncle" Jamie saw Danny walking over to them "A better uncle than Danny anyway" Holly giggled "That's it laugh it up kid, you'll both pay for that" Holly turned around to see him sit beside her "you okay Uncle Danny?"

Danny hugged her "Of course, I'm at the park with my amazing niece and rookie baby brother" Jamie rolled his eyes "You really gotta stop calling me a rookie Danny" Danny looked at him "I'm sorry, listen dad's got something coming up and wanted to know if you could take missy here for a few days"

Holly looked at Jamie…
