As they were driving the blonde detective could only think of all the stuff she had left lying about her apartment and then it hit her jimmy didn't know where her new apartment was, she looked over to the passenger seat and say her daughter mindlessly staring out the window. "Hey, I just thought jimmy doesn't know where my apartment is do you mind if we pull over for a sec?" The young blonde didn't respond so the blonde detective pulled over and texted jimmy her address.
"Kimberly" the blonde detective said "Kimberly were not far from my apartment, are you okay?" This time she shook her a daughter a little "Kimberly are you alright?" Then the young blonde said "the car is making me feel sick, I think it's the painkillers they gave me" the blonde detective sighed with relief "yeah sure thing just let me know when you're ready to go" she said handing her daughter a bottle of water and a spare carrier bag. After half an hour or so the young blonde fell asleep so she started driving she pulled up outside her apartment and woke her daughter "hey sweetie were here" the young blonde mumbled abit and went to get out the car, luckily the blonde detective had gotten out and gone around the other side of the car before waking her daughter because as the young blonde went to get out the car she stood and fell and the blonde detective caught her and sat her on the ground leaning her again the car. After a few minutes the young blonde came back around and mumbled "where am I? What happened?" The blonde detective looked at her daughter "we're are my place and you fainted I think it's just because your weak a you hungry?" The young blonde looked up to her mother and said "yeah I am abit can we go inside the floor is cold" typical teenager thought the blonde detective.
The blonde detective helped her daughter to her feet and helped her up to the apartment "it's not much but I hope you like it" the young blonde replied "anywhere is better than where I've stayed recently" the blonde detective opened the door and helped her daughter to the pink couch and sat her down and then proceeded to pick up the post and hide a few things she had left out she would need to do a proper clean before tonight. "Right I have soup, beans, a few ready meals" the blonde detective said rummaging through the cupboard she never expected to have guests and normally ate at work "anything is fine" the young blonde said "how about get a takeaway? You pick?" The blonde detective didn't really have anything in also she wanted to know what her daughter liked "does anywhere do ribs?" The young blonde laughed, it was the first time she had heard her daughter laugh and was taken back by how sweet and broken her laugh was, she rummaged thought the draw of takeout menus and pulled a one for rack and soul "they do a big pack I've never tried them before do you want to get that?" The young blonde nodded. The blonde detective rang the take out place her daughter intently watching the women on the phone said "it'll be about 20 minutes?" She moved the mouth piece away from her mouth and said "20 minutes?" Kimberly nodded and she continued with the women on the phone just as she was about to hang up she said to Kimberly "shall I get a big pack for tonight as well?" Kimberly nodded so she changed the order to two big packs. The young blonde was taken back by the fact her mother was asking her to make decisions about people she barely knew.
As they were waiting for the ribs to arrive the blonde detective made some tea and started cleaning the place the young blonde didn't know what the protocol was, was she allowed to look around? or did she have to wait to be invited to look around? The blonde detective saw her daughter hadn't moved in a while and came over to her "my place is your place come on go look around, if you feel like helping me clean up I could do with those cups being put away?" She said jokingly but the young blonde has happy to do anything so she started put some stuff in the cupboards she could tell her mom spent most of her time at work. Just as she was getting to the end of putting the dishes away the blonde haired detective came out of her room with a pile of dishes and said "you don't need to do anything I was joking you know" and placed the dishes in the sink "I want to help" the blonde detective thought to herself a teenager that wants to help?! When were these made?! She just said "okay but honestly you don't have to I got this" the young blonde started on the dishes she was going to help this seemed like a big deal having people over "here you're at least sitting down I'm noting having you faint on me again" the blonde haired detective said bringing over a high stool.
The young blonde was nearly done with the dishes when the doorbell rang "I'll get it she heard from the other room" as her mother came running across the room. The young blonde moved away from the door to the sofa as the blonde detective opened the door and paid the young delivery boy. As soon as the door was shit she rose and went to help with the food "you sit, I'll sort is out" she watched as her mother put one box on the counter and one in the oven and poured drink. "Here we go ribs at last" the blonde detective joked as she handed her daughter a drink and they tucked in to the huge box of ribs, after a while the blonde detective stopped she felt like she was going to explode but the young blonde was still going strong, she finished the plate and lay back. She really is my daughter and he remembered to the time when h and jimmy and the team had a rib eating competition and she won hands down "good ribs?" She asked, the young blonde could barely talk she was so full "yeah the best" she said. They just sat there for a while the blonde detective put the television on "I don't have much I thinks it's just the basic package" she said handing her the young blonde the remote the young blonde flicked through the channels and settled on NCIS and said "you know the women... That one there" she pointed to the screen "she's in this new show called rizzoli and... and" the blonde detective has seen some of the show she was talking about and said "isles?" The young blonde was amazed her mother knew the show "yeah did you watch them?" She couldn't lie she had seen the odd one or two "I've seen a few" so her daughter had an interest in policey type shows this could go well. "What other shows do you watch?" She wanted to get to know her daughter and figured she would be able to tell abit by what she chose to watch "well I watch NICS, Rizzoli and Isles, Grey's anatomy, once upon a time and castle are a few I like to watch oh and I like grim" this seemed like a good selection she had seen a few episodes of most of these from time to time and had heard people talking about them. My kid has good taste.
Kimberly moved over and lay on the blonde detective after a few more episodes of NCIS and the blonde detective checked her watch it was 6:30 and jimmy and the team were coming over about 7. "Kimberly jimmy and the team are coming over soon are you sure it's still aright with you?" The young blonde nodded "yeah it's cool with me" the blonde detective slid from underneath her daughter and started franticly cleaning and putting stuff in cupboards just as Kimberly got up to start doing the same there was a knock on the door "boots open up we have beer and snacks" the blonde detective heard she rushed to the door looked back at her daughter "you still sure?" The young blonde nodded and the blonde detective opened the door. The truth was she wasn't sure how they would react to her daughter and how her daughter would react to havering people over.
I am trying to build up the young blonde's character in this chapter. I have about another couple chapters written so I'm going to try and update on a Wednesday and a Sunday. The next few chapters are a bit bitter sweet. Please review.
