pls read and review and comment on any mistake that could have possibly been made!

'New York crime lab'

'Hello, this is Rita Davis from child services- may I speak to Lindsay Monroe please?'

'She's off work today- do you want to leave a message?'

'Erm…no thanks'

Lindsay Monroe walked into the New York crime on a very sunny and exciting summer noon; she had had the day off work yesterday and had spent the day off with her CSI boyfriend- Danny Messer. As she was settling down in her office, one of the staff in the Lab walks into the room to give her a message

'Detective Monroe'

'Yes' she turned back to face the staff behind her

'You had a phone call yesterday from someone called Rita from the child services'

Lindsay was surprise by the fact that why the child would services b looking for her 'Okay, thanks' she said to the staff as he left the office

Lindsay spent almost the rest the moment wondering why the child services would want to speak to her.

'Hey linds' Danny said as he caught up to Lindsay

'You got anything from that?' he continued, glancing at the piece of evidence that she was working on.

'Hi, I'm Rita, is there a chance that I could speak to detective Lindsay Monroe'

'I'm Mac Taylor- is there a problem, please take a sit'

A few minutes later, Lindsay walked down into Mac's office to see the mystery woman that had been looking for her

'I'll give you two some space' he said as he left the room

'Hi' Lindsay faked a smile shaking the woman's hand, with a questioning look; she looked about early-forties, tall, blond hair- probably dyed, with excellent facial features that made her looked like she was in her 20s

'I'm Rita from the child services' the woman said as she smiled back at Lindsay 'You should sit down for what am about to tell you is very shocking'

'I'm fine' Lindsay stubbornly

'Your friend Bethany McFadden was involved in an accident and unfortunately, she lost her life'

'What?' Lindsay's eyes widen and she shouted enough for people passing to hear as she broke down in tears

'I am so sorry Lindsay' Rita comforted

'Okay' Lindsay said a few minutes later

'Well… she had children-If you know about that'

'Of course I do-twins' Lindsay said 'Oh my God! Poor kids, are they okay?'

'That is the main reason that I'm here' Rita clears her throat 'she died a few weeks ago and the children were placed in a temporary foster home near their neighbourhood in Connecticut until we were able to locate you a couple of days ago'

'She was my best friend; we grew up together, I can't believe that she is gone' Lindsay spoke tearfully

Ignoring Lindsay's comments, Rita continued 'We found her will in her apartment in Connecticut and on it; it said you were the children's Godmother which automatically makes you their legal guardian'

Lindsay shrugged remembering when the time Bethany had come back to New York to visit her, she went to a night club and came back the next morning only to find out she was pregnant a few weeks later and nine months after that, the twins- Brooke and Brooklyn were born and she had asked Lindsay to be their Godmother which she immediately agreed to.

'This means that you will be responsible for the twins from now on as they have no other relative that we know of' Rita said

'What. Can't they be somewhere else? I don't even know about children-food, school, TV, my apartment is not even big enough' Lindsay complained

'I don't think you friend would have wanted that- if they put them in a children's home, they could be separated and besides, they need a stable home' she persuaded

'Stable home, how do you even know that I'm not some psycho- drug addict or even worse?'

'I've seen where you work and I already did a little background check on you therefore, I know that that you are not a "psycho- drug addict" and you can afford to care for the kids; your friend puts you in a position of trust, you should respect the fact that she trusts you enough to put her kids in your care even if she might not know it- that worth something at least and you job is to keep people safe, wouldn't you rather let them be safe and happy with you that being sad and possibly separated in foster care?'

Lindsay became speechless as she wipes the tears off her swollen eyes.

A part of her felt that this woman was emotionally blackmailing her and another part however, wanted to do what was right by her best friend but it would also be hard for her to manage full time work at the lab with being a single parent to 2 children- well, unless Danny would still want to be with her.

Well, hope you guys liked it pls review.
