Lifestyle Change

Chapter 1

Casey felt as though she were looking through a time warp mirror where she appeared 16 years younger. The girl that stood in front of her was Casey's spitting image.

"This was never supposed to happen," Casey thought to herself. "She was never supposed to have known me."

Pushing away the past in her mind, Casey was forced to face the future, a future which included her 16 year old daughter.

Sixteen years ago, Casey had been an average teenager. She had above average grades, above average friends, and an above average family. All of that changed in an instant for Casey though. The feeling still haunted her when she thought about it. No high school student ever wants to be in a position like that, but it happens again and again.

Flashback

Casey's Junior Year

In Girl's Restroom

"Oh my God," Casey said looking at the plastic stick in her hand.

"You okay, Case?" her friend Morgan asked.

"No, but I'm not going to get any better, so we better get to class."

Casey had told her boyfriend of the pregnancy, and was astounded when he volunteered to take her to an abortion clinic.

"No! I'm not going to kill my baby!" she had shouted at Mitch, her boyfriend.

"Well I don't want anything to do with it," Mitch had called back at her.

"Fine," Casey said before she stormed home.

Once her parents knew, they said that they would support her in whatever she chose to do with the baby. After much debating, Casey decided to keep it. Nine months later, Kathleen Marie Novak was born. Only a month after that, Casey just couldn't deal with the stress of school, work, and a baby, so she left a note for her parents, walked out of the house, and left her baby behind.

End of Flashback

Sixteen years later, Casey Novak became the ANA for the SVU in New York. She only had the memories of her past life until one day, a phone call collided her past life and her present life into one.

"Novak," Casey said as she picked up the ringing phone in her office.

"Hello Casey?" the voice on the other end said.

"Yes?" she said growing slightly aggravated.

"Hello, my name is Margaret Patricks, and I work for the child services department of the NYPD," the woman said.

"What case are you calling about?" Casey asked.

"Yours," the woman answered surely.

"Excuse me?" Casey asked very confused at this point.

"Do you know of a Kathleen Marie Novak?" Margaret asked.

Casey froze. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
