A/N: Ahhh! Sorry it took so long to update this story. Last week was weird and I needed to take some time to think things through before working on any of my stories.

This chapter is a little angsty, fluffy and possibly funny. IDK. It does mention Christina, which always takes the characters into a different place so I hope you guys enjoy it. :)

"Sarah Josephine Bering-Wells!" Myka stomped through the main office, wanting to pounce over the desk, but opted to allow the frightened admin assistant to unlock the small gate for her. She calmly sat next to her daughter who had been sitting there fiddling with the locket that her mothers had given to her for her tenth birthday. "A fight?" The disappointment in Myka's voice was enough to bring Sarah to tears.

"I'm so sorry." She roughly batted away the droplets of water that stubbornly refused to stop falling.

"You know better than that. We taught you better than that. What happened?"

"Some girls in my P.E. class were messing with me in the locker room."

"Messing with you how?" Disappointment was immediately replaced with concern and a little bit of anger toward anyone who hurt her baby.

"They went into my bag when I was in the shower and they took Christie..." Her hand gripped tighter on the locket she wore, the locket that held the picture of her big sister; all while Myka's hands gripped tight on the armrests of her chair. "I asked for the locket back nicely, but they tossed it to each other. One of the girls snapped it in half."

"Which one?" Myka asked through gritted teeth, only now noticing that the hinges on the necklace were bent, but Sarah managed to put it back together with the tools Claudia gave her for Christmas.

"The one with the broken nose." Myka's head snapped up, and although she was furious with the group of girls that she hadn't seen yet, she couldn't help but be proud of her daughter.

"Mrs. Bering-Wells?" The principal stood in the doorway, gesturing for Myka to enter.

Myka slowly stood, whispering into Sarah's ear; "Good girl," kissing her head and disappearing into the principals office.

Almost an hour later, the office was pretty much empty and Myka came outside to see her daughter being scolded and disciplined by a woman she didn't recognize. "Excuse me, can I help you?"

"You must be the mother."

"I am, and you are harassing my daughter." Myka stood next to Sarah, pulling her up to stand next to her and putting her arm around her protectively.

"Your daughter? Look at my daughter!" A girl stepped out from behind her mother covering her bloody nose.

"Look, kids are kids and they get into fights. I'm not saying it's okay, but it's expected. However; picking on an underage girl when her mother isn't present is unacceptable and immature. You should spend your efforts teaching your daughter a few lessons in manners and respect." The woman standing in front of Myka quickly pulled her hand back and slapped the agent.

"Mom!" Sarah looked between her mother and the girl's mom. Myka rubbed her cheek a little, getting the sting out. When she looked up, Helena had stormed in and took hold of the woman's wrist, pulling her back and pushing her up against the wall.

"Let go of me!" The woman struggled, but couldn't get out of Helena's grip.

"You owe my wife an apology and I believe your daughter owes Sarah one as well."

"The hell we do!" She spat back, still kicking and fighting to get free.

"You just assaulted a government agent. Are you certain you don't want to rethink that?" Helena's voice was filled with enough venom to scare a snake; and this woman was a snake recoiling.

"I'm sorry." She whispered and Helena let go. The woman walked over to Myka. "I am very sorry, I don't know where my head was and I shouldn't have struck you."

"I'm sorry too." The woman's daughter spoke up, her voice a lot more timid than Myka expected it to be. She was just a scared kid who did something stupid. "I'm sorry I stole your locket."

"She what!?" Helena yelled from where she stood. She almost bolted across the room, but was stopped by Myka's outstretched hand; her eyes letting Helena know that it would be okay and she'd explain later.

"I didn't know it was so important and the other girls and I thought... we were just messing around."

"It's okay." Sarah held the girls gaze. "I'm sorry about your nose."

The girl laughed, then winced when she felt the pain shoot through her nose and head. "Ow." Her mother just stood there, shocked at how easy it was for them to communicate and forgive each other.

"Hey, why don't you girls go sit over there while we talk hm?" Myka shooed the girls to the other side of the room and waved Helena over, nudging her arm when she stood next to her.

"What?" Helena saw Myka jerking her head in the other woman's direction. "Fine. I'm sorry for treating you the way I did. I saw you hit my wife and, well needless to say, I'm a bit over protective and not as level headed as Myka is."

The woman looked over at the two girls who were now sitting there, talking as though nothing had happened. Sarah had her locket opened up, showing the girl who she came to know as Ryleigh the picture of Christina.

"It's okay. I shouldn't have acted the way I did." Everyone agreed to let the past be in the past and talk about the girls.

"The principal told me that they are trying to figure out a community service project the girls can work on together as a team. Something that will get them to set aside their differences."

"I know something they could do, and it would be a fun family day for all of us." Helena beamed and marched into the principals office.

"Does she always do that?"

"Pretty much." Myka plopped back down into the chair and smiled, watching Sarah tell her new friend all about her big sister.

"What's she doing?" The other mother sat next to Myka, gesturing at the girls.

"The locket was a gift she got for her tenth birthday. It has a picture of her older sister Christina in it."

"Oh is she with other family..."

"She passed away when she was eight. I think Sarah's just telling some stories."

"I'm so sorry. Now I understand why Sarah reacted the way she did and I'll pay for the repairs."

"It's okay, Helena made it and she'll fix it up as good as new."

There was a nice silence for a minute, the only noise coming from the two young teens giggling and whispering in the corner.

"There. All taken care of." Helena came out of the office with a big smile on her face.

"Helena? What's going on?" Myka stood up and walked to her wife, taking her hands into her own.

"The girls will be doing the charity relay race this weekend and they will be competing as a team."

"They need sponsors for that."

"I called Claudia, Leena, Pete, Arthur, and Irene; and they all agreed to sponsor the girls and enter the race."

"Wait... what?"

"Well, Claudia, Leena and Pete did." Helena couldn't picture Artie running any more than she could picture Mrs. Fredric running.

"Sounds like a great idea sweetie." Myka kissed Helena's cheek. "But they need five people in the group."

"Well, I said we'd enter as well darling."

"We are getting too old for this."

"Nonsense darling, if I'm not too old then you're definitely not too old."

The woman standing in front of them cleared her throat, interrupting their back and forth banter. "So I guess Ryleigh and I will be seeing you guys this weekend then?"

"Yes. We look forward to it. Looks like our girls are hitting it off." The three parents looked at their girls who were now going through some of Sarah's pictures on her phone. "I'm really sorry about your daughters nose."

"I'm really sorry about your daughters locket."

Helena's hand immediately reached for the locket she still wore, and Myka reached for the one she had gotten on her anniversary, the locket with the picture of Christina on one side and Sarah and Helena on the other.

"You guys have one too. Your little girl must have been something special."

"She was." Both Myka and Helena answered in unison.

"Well, we shall see you this weekend then." Helena said, stretching her hand out and shaking the other mother's hand. "I didn't get your name."

"Sorry, my name's Miranda. So freaked out about all of this I forgot to introduce myself. Ryleigh doesn't get into fights, so this is all a bit new to me."

"It's okay Miranda." Myka put her hand on the woman's shoulder. "Sarah doesn't get into fights either. This was just one of those things that happens with kids I guess. They seem to be moving past it, so maybe we could too?"

"Yes. I'd like that very much."

...

"So, you are grounded." Helena said as soon as they got into the car.

"But mum! I was just defending myself."

"Doesn't matter, your mother is right. We taught you that self defense is okay when necessary, but really? Breaking that poor girls nose and apparently busting lips and bruising faces."

"That is a bit much." Helena added.

"Hmmm. I wonder where I get it from." Sarah said, eyeing Helena through the rearview mirror. Myka couldn't contain her laughter.

"You're still grounded."

"Fine." Sarah huffed, sitting back in her seat and crossing her arms.

"Let me see it." Helena held her hand out and waited; Sarah took the locket off and put it in her mother's hand. "Hmmm... you actually did a wonderful job putting this back together love. You going to fix it yourself or would you like my help?"

"I'd like to fix it with you mum." Sarah beamed, her smile identical to Helena's. Myka's heart melted as she drove home listening to them talk about how they could improve the lockets design and function. Sarah even went so far as to adding a secret compartment.

The family pulled up to the B&B.

"No!" Myka's hazel eyes went wide when she saw Pete, Claudia and Leena standing there with their team uniforms for the relay race. "How did they even get uniforms so fast?"

"Well, I may have mentioned it to Pete a few weeks ago." Helena whispered, jumping out of the car before Myka could get to her.

"You what!?"

Sarah rolled around the back seat of the SUV laughing hysterically.

Myka jumped out of the car. "No!"

"Come on Mykes! I picked the name." Pete whined, holding the shirt out to his partner.

"I figured." Myka's tone was flat and unamused as she read the shirt; she sighed. "This is gonna be a long weekend."

Thanks for reading. :) Hope you enjoyed it and there will be some family fun time in the next chapter so look out for it. I hope it wasn't too much drama or anything. Thought that if Sarah got into a fight over anything it would be a family thing and Christina is still family even though she's not around.

There may be some embarassing moments for Sarah in the next chapter which is always fun. Maybe some uncle Pete over protective stuff happening with her.

I am actually going to mention real charities that are near and dear to my heart, so if you want me to mention any that you love, let me know by this Thursday and I'll throw it in there. :)

Love you all. XO.
