Hi everyone, this is my second story. I wrote it with my best friend and thought i'd share it with you all hope you like it :)

I do not own anything apart from the two teenage girls :)

"1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10, ready or not here I come!!" The voice of a 15 year old girl rang throughout the house. The girl, with long brown hair just past her shoulders and sparkling green eyes, wearing stone washed jeans and a small dark blue vest top made her way through the house searching for her sister. It wasn't her real sister as she, as well as her sister, had been adopted when they were babies but considered themselves as sisters, she was 15 and her sister 11. Her ringlet hair bouncing slightly as she made her way through the house, she had searched the garden and downstairs with no look so began to make her way upstairs.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" She shouted, she heard a giggle coming from her sisters room and grinned and made her way to the closed door. She pushed the door open and walked inside "Emily I know you're in here" the room was silent, she looked around the room for any possible hiding places. Her eyes fell onto the walk in wardrobe, she sniggered and made her way towards the double doors and pulled them open "Got ya!!!" she shouted but looked surprised as her eyes landed on a box of files and not on her sister. She started to carefully pick up this heavy box full of documents which was sat hidden in their parent's wardrobe once she was sat on the bed she started to read them and noticed that these were no ordinary files, they were birth certificates.

The first file that she began to read had her name on along with her real parent's names. One of the names that she notices is one she recognized from the paper that morning... Mac Taylor. She was deep in concentration that she didn't hear Emily come out from under the bed and walk towards her, Emily placed her hand on Ambers shoulder and spoke "What are ya looking at Amber?", Amber jumped as Emily touched her shoulder, she turned her head to look at her younger sister and held up the files "these look like our birth certificates, with our parents names on". Emily looked a little confused "our real parents?" she asked, Amber only nodded as she flipped over the page of her file and a piece of paper fell out onto her lap, she picked it up and looked at it.

There was a man and a woman in the picture, both brightly smiling, his arm draped around her shoulders, she was leaning into him slightly. Amber and Emily stared at the picture intently for a few minutes before Emily spoke "He looks like that man that was on TV this morning" Amber nodded "that's because it is the man on TV this morning" Amber replied in a mixture of confusion, excitement and nervousness.

Emily bent down next to Amber and picked up the next file and opened it up, just like the other file, a piece of paper fell out onto Emily's lap, she looked at the picture of a man and a girl, probably in her 20s, they were both smiling, her more brightly than him, the man looked as if he was smirking rather than smiling. Emily noticed that the man looked quite a bit older than the girl, she noticed a bridge in the background, golden gate bridge in San Francisco, she placed the picture down beside her and began to read the piece of paper inside the file. At the top it read birth certificate, she read further and came to the names of her birth parents, she didn't recognise any of the names but she wanted to find them.

After a few more minutes of silence Emily spoke "do you wanna go find them?" she asked, Amber looked at her, thinking for a moment and nodded "yeah, I do. But what if they don't want me, they didn't want me when I was a baby" she looked down sadly. Emily frowned "maybe they did, maybe they had no choice but to give you up" Amber nodded, "maybe. What about you? Who are your real parents?" Emily shrugged "Nobody famous, not like your real dad. There's this picture though..." Emily handed Amber the picture of her birth parents which Amber took and looked at "...see the bridge? Its golden gate bridge, in San Francisco, I guess they live there" Emily sighed, she knew they'd never make it to San Francisco on their own.

Amber looked at her a little sadly knowing what her little sister was thinking, her eyes suddenly lit up "I could get my dad to look them up" Emily looked at her a little confused. Amber turned on her knees so that she was facing Emily and began to explain "we already know where my dad works, when we find him we can ask him to look your parents up and then he can come with us to find them" Amber said excitedly and Emily's eyes light up and she began to bounce on her legs "yeah!!" Emily grinned and flung her arms around Amber hugging her tightly. Amber laughed and hugged Emily back just as excited, they were going to find their real parents.

It was early in the morning, just as the sun began to rise, when Amber crept into Emily's room. She was wearing dark blue bleached jeans and a red t-shirt with a leather jacket, a rook sack slung over her shoulder "Emily you awake?" Amber whispered as she made her way over to her sisters bed. Emily opened her eyes at the sound of her name and quickly slung the covers from her body and got out of the bed already dressed, she was wearing the same blue washed bleached jeans that her sister was wearing but with a purple t-shirt. Emily ran over to her wardrobe and quickly got her denim jacket from the hanger and shoved her arms through the sleeves while she quickly walked over to Amber, she grinned up at her sister and Amber smiled back at her "ready?" Amber asked

"Ready" Emily replied and they quietly made their way downstairs and out of the house so that they didn't wake up their parents. They made their way down the path and onto the street, they walked for a few blocks until they came to the local cab station, Amber walked inside the building, Emily behind her, and went up to reception. She pressed the buzzer and waited, a few minutes later a woman in her late 30's came out and looked at the two youngsters "Can I help you?" Amber looked at Emily then at the women and replied "yeah, we'd like to get a cab to the police station please?" the women looked a little puzzled but picked up the radio, she put it down a few moments later and spoke to Amber "they'll be one at front in about 5 minutes"

Amber smiled "thank you" "thank you" Emily said to the women straight after Amber, the women smiled at them "you're welcome" Amber and Emily made their way outside and sat on a bench waiting for the cab to arrive. True to the women's word the cab pulled up at front 5 minutes later, they got into the cab and Amber told the driver where they wanted to go, he set of. About 5 minutes into the journey Amber opened her rook sack and pulled out two breakfast bars, she handed one to Emily, who took it from her and ripped it open and took a bit, Amber zipped the bag back up then copied her sister.

Twenty minutes later the cab pulled up outside their destination, Amber handed him the fair then followed her sister as she climbed out of the cab. They stood side by side looking up at the tall building as they heard the cab pull away, they stood there in amazement for a few moments before Amber looked down at her sister, Emily looked back at her and they began to walk towards the entrance. Once they made it to the door Amber took hold of the handle and pulled it open, she walked inside with Emily close behind her. As they walked inside they gazed around the large reception, desks where situated either side of them, some had piles of paperwork on them and some had just a few sheets of paper, there was only one officer that was sat at his desk, the name tag read Don Flack. He was a tall, dark haired man who had boyishly handsome features, he was dressed in a white shirt, black trousers with a black blazer and a navy blue tie. He looked up as he saw Emily and Amber walking towards him "Hello there, how can I help you?" Amber looked a little nervous and her voice quivered slightly as she spoke "Hi, erm, i'm looking for my dad... Mac Taylor."

Don looked at Amber, his jaw dropped and his face showing utter surprise and confusion, he began to splutter his words "Ma...da...Mac...dad" Amber looked at Don in total confusion, her eyebrow raised as Don spluttered. Emily looked from Don to Amber and back again then back to Amber as she spoke "You know him?" Amber asked, Don just stared at her not speaking. Emily snapped her fingers in Don's face "wakey wakey" Don shook his head and grabbed his phone and began to dial a number. Amber looked at Emily in excitement and they grinned at each other, and then stared at Don as he began to speak "Hey, Stella, yeah is Mac there?..." Amber's face fell as she heard the name Stella and remembered that her mother's real name is Stella, she wondered if it was the right Stella "...okay well i've got a girl here that says Mac is her father, would you get him to come down please?... yeah...okay thanks Stella" Don cut of the phone and put it back into his pocket.

He walked round his desk "would you like to follow me please" Don said as he walked towards the waiting room, Amber and Emily followed him. Once inside the waiting room Amber and Emily sat down "would you like anything to drink or eat?" Don asked, Amber and Emily shook their heads "we have food and drink in my bag" Amber replied as she pulled the bag from her back and laid it on her lap. Don smiled at her, he looked at her more curiously and noticed a strong resemblance to Mac, if Amber had shorter hair she'd be the double of Mac Don thought, but her eyes where green, obviously her mother's Don thought again but raised his eyebrow as he recognised the eyes but couldn't think where from.

As he was racking his brain someone walked into the precinct causing Don to jump slightly, he turned and saw Stella walking towards him, he smiled and walked over to her, as he got closer he saw the same green eyes that he'd just been staring into. All thoughts went from his head as he put two and two together Stella's her mom... but Mac's her father...but?...how?...when? his mind was racing as he was getting closer to Stella. He decided to keep his thoughts to himself and get on with the task at hand "hey Stel, she's in the waiting room, I thought the interrogation room might scare the younger one" Stella smiled "okay, thanks Don". "Did Mac tell you he had a kid?" Don asked, Stella raised her eyebrow "he doesn't know himself, if he did he would have told me" Stella smiled and made her way to the waiting room.

Her heart was pounding as she knew that the girl on the other end of the door was her daughter too, when Don had explained on the phone she knew that it was the little girl she gave up 15 years ago, she didn't want to but she had no choice, she couldn't look after her like a real mother should. Stella stopped at the door, took a deep breath to compose herself and pushed the door open. On the other side Amber was waiting patiently for her father, her heart began to race as she heard the door open, when she saw Stella walk into the room her eyes widened and she froze in her seat, all thoughts vanished from her mind. Stella cautiously walked to the opposite chair, facing Amber, she sat down and smiled as she looked into her own eyes but seeing Mac's features.

Amber starred at Stella and smiled back as she saw Stella smiling at her. There were a few more minutes of silence before Amber spoke "mom?" Stella smiled and nodded her head "yeah" Amber stood up and made her way over to Stella, she sat down next to her, they looked into each other's eyes for a few seconds then Amber wrapped her arms around Stella's waist and hugged her tightly, silent tears flowing down her cheeks. Stella hugged her back and kissed the top of her head "i'm so glad you found me, I never wanted to give you up, I had no choice" Amber lifted her head to look into Stella's eyes, she looked confused so Stella began to explain "your dad was married at the time, we were both drunk and one thing lead another, when I found out that I was pregnant I didn't tell him, I didn't want to have an abortion and I couldn't look after you coz of my work so I gave you up for adoption and hoped one day that you'd come find me" Stella smiled slightly and Amber smiled "and I did, I found mine and Emily's birth certificates while we were playing hide and seek yesterday and there was a picture of you and dad" Amber pulled away from Stella and grabbed her bag, taking the picture of Stella and Mac out she showed it to Stella.

Stella took the picture and smiled at it "this was taken just before I found out I was pregnant with you... your dad didn't know..he still doesn't" Stella smiled sadly "but we can tell him soon, I need to get back to the lab so you can come with me" Amber smiled at this, she was excited about meeting her dad and having a look around the place where her parents worked. "Can Emily come too?" Amber asked a little excited, Stella smiled at her daughter's excitement and nodded "Course she can, do her parents know she's with you?" Stella asked, Amber looked down at her lap then back up at Stella again and bit her lip before she replied "we ran away from our parents to come find you... I recognised dad's name from the TV, I didn't know that you worked with him too... we don't know who Emily's real parents are and we was wondering if you would help us look for them?" Amber asked and Stella looked over at Emily who was smiling shyly, Stella smiled and held her hand out to Emily, Emily stood up and slowly walked over and took Stella's hand. Stella smiled and pulled her close to her body "don't worry honey we'll find your parents" Stella smiled and Emily smiled brightly back.

Just then Stella's phone began to ring, she picked it up "Bonasera...yeah...ok i'll be there in a few, oh and Mac?... I've got something to tell you and someone you need to meet...ok, love you too bye" Stella smiled as she clipped the phone back onto her belt. Amber looked a little confused "love you too?" she questioned, Stella chuckled "yeah, we've been having a secret relationship for the past two years, no one knows about us... yet, but I guess now that you're here everyone will find out" Stella smiled and Amber giggled.
