Mollianne's social worker, Claire Swanson just got done explaining to Regina that Mollianne couldn't be adopted because Mollianne's birth mom still has legal custom and Mollianne has to live with her birth family unless her birth mom wants to sign away her rights so Mollie could be adopted.
Regina sighed but nodded. Then she walked over to Mollianne, "Hey sweetie, I have some bad news."
"What is it, mom?" Mollianne asked scared
"I'm really sorry, but you can't be adopted today. Your birth mom still has legal custody and unless she signs away her rights you'll have to live with her." Regina explained
"No!" Mollianne cried "Mom, I want to stay with you and Henry."
"I know you do, Princess, but right now neither of us have a choice." Regina stated
Mollianne nodded, "Okay mom. Don't worry. I'll convince my birth mom to sign away her rights so I can come back here to you and Henry. I love you mom."
"Love you more." Regina replied "And if your birth mom doesn't want to sign away her rights. Don't force her. Maybe you can come visit me if its okay with your birth mom."
Mollianne nodded, "Okay mom. Never forget you'll always be my mom because you took a chance on me. You gave me a home and a family just as I was about to give up hope on ever finding a place where I belonged."
Regina smiled, "And you'll be my daughter in my heart. No matter where you are or where you live." Then she added, "There's this quote that says you may not have my eyes or my smile but from that very first moment you had my heart. That is so true, my princess. That very first moment I met you, you stole my heart the same way Henry did when I met him."
Mollianne smiled back and got teary eyed, because she didn't realize that her mom loved her that much. Then she hugged Regina, who hugged her back.
Meanwhile Claire called Lena Adams Foster, Mollianne's birth mother.
"Hello is this Lena Adams Foster?" Claire asked
"Yes, why? Who is this?" Lena asked
"I'm Claire Swanson. I'm a social worker. One of my kids birth certificate has you listed as her birth mother. She's about to be adopted, but your rights haven't been signed away." Claire explained "Her name is Mollianne. She's thirteen."
'Mollianne? Could she really still be alive?' Lena thought. She hadn't seen Mollianne in ten years, and for the last six years she'd believed that Mollianne was dead.
Lena replied, "That's because Mollianne wasn't supposed to be a foster kid or even up for adoption. She was kidnapped ten years ago."
"Okay well she really wants to be adopted by her current foster mom, but until you sign away your rights she'll be staying with you." Claire told Lena
"And if I don't? Sign away my rights?" Lena asked
"She'll be your daughter." Claire stated
"Okay" Lena replied trying to be calm even though she was excited that her daughter would be coming home, "Thank you."
After the phone call ended, Lena walked to the living room and sat next to Stef.
"She's alive. She's okay." Lena said smiling happily
Stef looked at her wife confused, "Who's alive? Who's okay, love?"
"Our daughter, Mollianne." Lena smiled
Stef looked shocked, "Are you sure?" She had been there when Mollianne's kidnapper was arrested, and she had heard the kidnapper, Jonathan say that Mollianne was dead, so for the past six years she'd thought her little girl was dead.
Lena nodded, "I guess after the arrest of Jonathan was made, she was found shortly after and placed into the foster system. Her current foster mom wants to adopt her, but she can't. Mollianne is still our daughter. We can have her back."
Stef smiled and hugged her wife, "Our baby is coming home."
- Flashback -
June 2004: Three year old, Mollianne is playing outside with seven year old, Brandon when all of a sudden Brandon went running into the house.
"Mommy! Mama!" Brandon yelled "Come quick! Someone is kidnapping Mollie."
When Stef and Lena hear Brandon's terrifying plea that no parent should ever have to hear, they run outside to save Mollianne, but they were too late. All they could here were their daughter's screams and cries.
"Mommy! Mama!" Mollianne cried over and over again as she was being driven away from her mommies and her big brother.
Brandon kept mumbling over and over again to himself, "I'm her big brother. I was supposed to protect her."
- End of Flashback -
In Storybrooke, Maine, Mollianne is saying goodbye to Regina and Henry.
"Bye mom. Bye Henry. I love you." Mollianne said giving each of them a hug "I'll be home as soon as I can."
"I love you, princess." Regina replied as she hugged Mollianne back "I'll miss you."
Henry hugged the girl he'd come to consider his sister, "Bye Mol. I love you and I'll miss you."
Mollianne got in the car with her social worker. She waved goodbye until she couldn't see Regina and Henry anymore. Mollianne was crying and mumbling to herself about how life isn't fair. She didn't even want to go stay with her birth family. She didn't know them and she didn't want to. She just wanted her mom, Regina.
Meanwhile Stef and Lena are telling the kids about Mollianne.
"Okay so you don't know this, well except for Brandon, but thirteen years ago I had a daughter." Lena stated "She was kidnapped ten years ago, but she's coming home now. Her name is Mollianne."
"Who's Mollianne's dad?" Jude asked
"Mama and I were already together, so we used an anonymous sperm donor." Stef replied and Jude nodded
"How come you never told us about Mollianne when we were younger?" Mariana asked
"We didn't know that we would ever see her again." Lena responded not wanted to add the fact that they had thought Mollianne was dead.
Then Callie asked, "Do you have any pictures from when she was little?"
Lena nodded and showed the kids a picture of a three year old, Mollianne.
"She looks like you, mama." Jesus stated
Stef smiled and nodded, "Yes she does look like mama."
"Um so when is she coming?" Brandon asked. He was happy that after all these years his baby sister was coming home. Although he felt guilty that he hadn't been able to protect her all those years ago. After all he is her big brother, and big brothers are supposed to protect their younger sibling(s).
"She's on her way right now." Lena replied "But she was in Maine so she might not be here until late tonight or tomorrow morning."
The next morning, when Mollianne arrived at the Adams-Foster's house. Her social worker, Claire rang the doorbell and waited for an answer.
"You know you didn't have to walk me to the door." Mollianne told Claire "I could do it myself. I'm not five."
"I know, but I also know that you don't want to be here." Claire explained "If I didn't walk you to the door, I don't think you would have even gone to the door."
Mollianne scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"They're good people, Mollie. Just give them a chance, because they are also you're family and have been looking for you." Claire said
"But they're not my family. My mom, Regina and her son, Henry are." Mollianne retorted just as Stef answered the door.
Stef smiled, "Oh Mollie, you're so grown up. You look just like your mother."
"And just who are you?" Mollianne asked bitterly noticing that she looked nothing like the woman who answered the door, so surely this couldn't be her birth mother.
"I'm Stef, your other mom." Stef replied
Mollianne looked shocked and appalled, "So you're a lesbian? Do I have a dad?"
"Yes and of course you have a dad, but we don't exactly know who he is." Stef explained
Mollianne rolled her eyes. She already knew that she'd hate it here. I mean two moms, that's just weird.
"Okay well I have to go. Bye Mollie." Claire said
Mollianne turned and looked at Claire. She mouthed, "Don't leave me here."
"Thanks Claire." Stef told the woman
Claire smiled and nodded, "It's no problem."
"Come on, kiddo. Let's go inside." Stef said "You have family who are excited to see you."
Hope you enjoy. Comments are greatly appreciated.
This is just an idea that I got, and I had to write it because it wouldn't leave my head.
What do you think of the Mollianne's sperm donor father being Mike, but Stef and Lena don't know because they wanted it to be anonymous? And Mike doesn't know that he is Mollie's biological father.
Also the kids age are:
Callie and Brandon are 17
P.s By my interpretation Brandon is older by a couple or a few months, since the show never told us who is older. I don't know why, but I always just felt like he would be older.
Mariana and Jesus are 15
Jude and Mollianne are 13
Mollianne is a month younger than Jude. Her birthday is December 15, and Jude's is November 17.
P.s I picked Mollianne's birthday before I knew Jude's birthday. Just so you know I didn't intentionally make her younger.
