Stella Bonasera

Author's note: The characters in this story I don't own; they're from CSI New York & Law & Order SVU.

Stella got up for work as usual, it was a Monday and she say to herself this is going to be a long day.

She walks down the hallway to check on her two babies, the baby would be getting up for her bottle here soon so she crept into their room. As she walked in her son Christian was snuggled down under his blankets with his favorite stuff animal he won at the county fair last week. She bent down to give him a kiss on his forehead just like she did every morning before she went out to the kitchen to start to fix breakfast.

Off of Christian's part of the room is Gabriel's room; she just turned 11 months old.

When she reached the crib "Gabby" was starting to wake up wanting her bottle of milk.

Stella picked her up checked her diaper changed it put Gabby in a pretty pink sun dress with matching bonnet with booties; then she reaches for her receiving blanket when a knock on the door she knew who it was so she walked out in the hall not to wake up her son when she yelled "I'll be right there mom!" Stella stepped back to pull the baby's door around so she could hear when her son woke up.

Stella and Gabby went to let her grandma in cause it was her day to spend with the kids while Stella was at work. They all walked up the stairs to the front room where the playpen was, she laid Gabby in her playpen and went to make her milk bottle while she was warming the baby's bottle her mom sits and plays with Gabby to keep her from crying while her bottle warms.

Stella walks in and gives her baby her bottle; she lays her in the playpen to nurse her bottle while her mom and grandma talks in the kitchen.

Stella looks at her mom and says you want cup of coffee? " Her mom say yes" "I love a cup" ok Stella answered. She went to make it when she turned around and seen Christian standing in the hall rubbing his sleepy eyes trying to come awake. She walked over picked him up kissed him good morning and then set him back down walked over poured a cup of coffee for her mom and herself she gave her mom the cup of coffee and said she be right back out.

Stella went got ready for work, she put on one of her better suits all her make up on right down to brushing her teeth. Coming back out to the kitchen thinking she had time to talk with her mom and play with the kids a few minutes, she was surprise to see what time it was: it was time to get out of there to go work. She had enough time to get downtown to catch the subway bus. As she was going down the steps she told her mom where the diaper bag was and she laid out her son outfit out in kids' room on the back of the chair. She yelled kiss the children by for me I'm running late love yaw all.

The train would be there at 8:30 and she had to be at work by 9:00.

It isn't easy to make it but she does with a minute to spare. Sitting down for a few minutes to catch her breath and check her make up to make sure it hadn't ran it was fame.

While she was on her way to work the worse thing happened and she thought her day wouldn't get any worse it does.

Her ex-husband shows up beside her on the subway train. Stella looks at him in dis-belief ; she tries to ignore him but he spoke to her asking her about the children this just floors her to the point if wanting to scream at him but she maintains control and looks at him and says "why do you care about them, you didn't care about them when we were married so why the change of heart? Frankie!"

"When I told you I was pregnant with our daughter, you ran off to parts unknown neither to be seen or heard of again!" "Our daughter doesn't even know your touch, cause when I went into labor you weren't nowhere to be found." "So yes I question your reason for showing up now" Stella told Frankie. So once I got out of the hospital from having her I filed for a divorce from your abusive and inability of being there when we needed you. Now if you don't mind of got to get to work, just then her stop came up and she got off the train and chucked the experience of the train ride this morning up to being bad luck penny!
