My first time here, so please be gentle :) (I also have a SherriPolo one up on WattPad that I just put up if anyone's interested)

We all know Teri Polo has several tattoos and that they are for the most part covered, except for one… I thought it might be fun to write it in. This is set before the show.

Shit. Stefanie Foster woke up with by far one of the worst hangovers she had ever had. Her eyes stung as they adjusted to the light flittering in through the blinds in her room. She was glad her son Brandon was in Florida for the upcoming week with her mother and even though she missed him dearly already, she was sure that she wouldn't be able to handle a 5 year old when she could barely get up. Somehow the room was still spinning and she had been asleep for… She reached over to grab her phone, 11 HOURS?! She shot up quickly but the momentum had given her a head rush and the nausea was overwhelming. She clapped a hand over her mouth and bolted toward the bathroom.

She groaned as she emptied the contents of her stomach, almost 75% liquid. She dragged herself off the ground and held herself up by the sink. She could taste tequila and vomit in her mouth but she was sure that there wasn't anything left to throw up. She looked up into the mirror, her blonde hair was messy, she wasn't looking forward to brushing those knots out later. Her mascara had run onto her face, her eyes bloodshot. Eugh.

She brushed her teeth and gargled mouthwash four times to get the taste out before crawling back into bed. Last night was insane, a bunch of her coworkers had insisted they take her out for drinks to celebrate a recent arrest. She tried to decline but ultimately gave in. It was tequila shot after tequila shot at their usual hangout. She had invited Lena to come, but she was at a school function and couldn't make it out with her.

Stef could barely remember what happened, or how she even got home. She remembered getting to the bar, scarfing down some nachos and wings with the guys, the shots and for some reason, she could remember Lena… She knew she hadn't been there but she remembered thinking of her a lot. Stef shrugged, she wasn't sure why that stuck out in her mind so much since she was falling for Lena fast and hard. She leaned over to grab her phone and found 2 missed calls and 5 texts from her girlfriend and one photo message from her partner. She felt a pang of guilt, realizing that Lena hadn't heard from her in over 11 hours. She'd call her right back once she opened the picture message that was waiting for her. When she clicked on the message, her eyes widened and her mouth opened in shock. Oh, fuck.

Staring back at her was a picture of her lying sideways on a padded table, her arm thrown over her eyes. Her pant leg was rolled up mid-calf and her partner was bent down near her with a goofy grin on his face and a thumbs up with one hand as he pointed to the man holding a small tattoo needle to her ankle. Last night, Stefanie Marie Foster got a tattoo.

Sorry, I know its kind of weird to have cut it so soon but I thought that was a good place to stop. Not to worry though, the second part will be up soon! Not sure how far I'm going to take this yet but I guess we will see!
