This is my first attempt at a Walker story...the idea came to me while
watching a Hallmark channel movie. The story takes place 21 years
after White Water Rafting (1996) and includes many flashbacks
relating to why Alex chose to raise her daughter alone.

AND BABY MAKES THREE....INTRO (2017)
"Mom, are you home?" Angela called out as she ran quickly into the
house."I have some interesting news to talk about".
Looking around the quiet house, Angela assumed that her mother
was in the backyard; and opened the door leading out to the patio.
There was Alex, sitting at the round wrought iron table; sipping a glass
of lemonade. She looked up to see her 21 year old daughter holding a
letter and grinning from ear to ear. Angela walked over to her mom,
gave her a big hug, and began to read the letter in her hand.
"Angela Cahill", it began; "This letter is to inform you that you
have been accepted as a police cadet with the Dallas Police Department.
You are to report to Captain Raymont on August 27, 2018 for 12 weeks
training; at which time you will receive your uniform and weapons."
"Mom" Angela continued, "Do you think I have what it takes to be
a policewoman? I want to be the best, to eventually become a Texas
Ranger."
"With your strengths and determination, no doubt your ambitions
will become a reality!" Alex smiled. "But why did you apply to Dallas?"
"I didn't pick that place specifically, that's where the Department
Of Safety assigned several of us. Do you think your ranger friend can
help me out?"
"I haven't been in contact with him in years," Alex sighed. "He's
probably retired by now."
"Well, I have finals to study for, I'd better get started. What's f or
dinner?"
"Chicken sir fry." Alex replied quietly, as thoughts from a distant
past began to fill her mind. "I'll call you when it's ready."
Alex sat back in her chair and picked up her lemonade. Angela had
talked for years about being a policewoman and later a Texas Ranger;
r after hearing one of Texas's most famous rangers on a school field trip,
one Cordell Walker. Her mother had mentioned several times that she
had known the man and talked about his "colorful" career. Angela was
mesmerized by these stories and dreamed of the day she would get to
work with him. Alex was always afraid of what would happen if Walker
and Angela ever met, if the truth about who her father really was ever
came out. How would Walker react after all these years if he found out
what really happened that weekend after he and Alex went white water
rafting; and the night they shared a hotel room and each others bodies.
