"So when are Miranda and Heather coming to Sunday dinner?" Jamie asked as they walk outside of the precinct.
"Once Grandpa is used to the idea that his only granddaughter is in a relationship with a woman. Could be soon or could be never. I hope soon, but Miranda's been working a lot lately and she's been there for me more than Jack ever has." Erin said.
"Think you can see yourself marrying her if the time is right?" Erin slowly smiles at the idea.
"I do."
That night, Miranda relaxes in the bed as she is typing on her computer when Erin sits on the edge of the bed and looks at the TV. Miranda looks up, rolls her eyes when she sees the DA on the TV, then gets back to work.
"Don't think I didn't see you roll your eyes." Erin said without looking at Miranda.
"So what if I did? What are you going to do? Charge me with hating your boss?" Miranda asked as she closes her laptop.
"I might do that." Miranda leans forward and pulls Erin back, making the attorney laugh, and tenderly kisses her.
"Contempt of court?" Miranda whispered.
"Definitely. But I might reconsider your offer if you do me something." Erin softly said.
"What?"
"Have lunch with my grandfather and I." Miranda pulls back and leans against the headboard of the bed then quietly sighs. Erin sits up and sits next to her.
"Every Sunday, I feel guilty for going to dinner without you and Heat." Erin said.
"Erin, there is no way that I'm going to change your grandfather's mind about us."
"You don't have to change his mind. You've known my grandfather longer than you have known me. Look, if I can convince him to have lunch with us, will you do it?" Miranda looks at her girlfriend.
"Maybe."
"That's all I ask."
"Incoming!" They hear and Heather jumps onto the bed and Nicky follows her.
"I think your daughter is corrupting my daughter." Erin said with a chuckle.
"I take offense to that." Heather said.
"Me too. Come on Heather. Looks like we're not wanted here." Miranda said then gets up and she and Heather walk to the kitchen.
"Baby? Come back, I'm sorry." Erin said. She walks into the kitchen and –
"Fire!" She gets covered in whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
"Wait, wait, wait." Miranda said with a smile. She opens the cherries and puts one on Erin's nose where the whipped cream is and she, Heather and Nicky are hysterically laughing.
The three of them spent most of the night cleaning the kitchen. While Erin slept like a baby after showering, of course.
"Wait, what?" Miranda asked on the phone the next day.
"My damn boss gave me the case." Erin said.
"So instead of someone else's headache, it's yours. You do realize that he's just using you, right?"
"Don't start with that, ok? I'm gonna have to cancel lunch with you and Grandpa."
"Hold on. I rearranged my schedule for this lunch."
"Baby, I'm sorry. I have a mess to deal with. I'll make it up to you."
"Might as well cancel all together because I just got a new case. I love you."
"I love you too." Miranda hangs up the phone and sighs.
Erin shakes her head and stands up when her grandfather puts down Miranda and Heather and for being in a relationship with Miranda.
"I'm not going to sit here and listen you to talk about my girlfriend and her daughter like that. For your information Grandpa. Miranda was raped and got pregnant with Heather by her commanding officer. She has been gay for a very long time and didn't come out to me in college because she knew how you would react and knew that Mom and Dad would have taken me out of the dorm. Everyone here at the table is comfortable with me being with Miranda, but you. Looks like I'm going to be making new Sunday traditions with my girlfriend and daughter after church. Excuse me." Erin said then walks out of the room.
Miranda looks over the information on the Blue Templar as Heather is in her room when she hears footsteps. She saves then closes the info and pulls up the internet when Erin walks into the room.
"Hey. How was...oh no." Miranda said when she sees the look on Erin's face. She closes her laptop and opens her arms. Erin crawls into the bed and starts crying into her girlfriend's shoulder. The lieutenant kisses her forehead and rubs her back, silently fuming that her girlfriend is upset.
"Where are we with the case?" Miranda asked her squad.
"So far, we have four different DNA samples, not including the vic's." Nick said.
"Looks like she was gang raped." Damon said.
"Is the DNA found being tested?" Miranda asked then sees Henry.
"And Perkins is at the lab, waiting for the results as we speak." Lisa said.
"Ok. Keep canvasing the school, talk to the victim gently and talk to family members. We have got to find these punks." Miranda said then walks to her office and Henry walks into the room.
"I heard what you said about me." Miranda said to him.
"I came to personally apologize. I let my emotions cloud my judgment." He said.
"Mr. Reagan. I have been there more times than Jack ever has for Erin and Nicky. I hated him and called him a dumb ass behind his back and in front of his face numerous times. Erin isn't a fling for me. I am in love with your granddaughter and she's in love with me. You have to accept that."
"It's going to take some time. I was hoping to take you and Erin out to lunch." Miranda softly smiles.
"I'm in."
That night, Erin walks into the bedroom and kisses Miranda a few times on the lips and looks at her.
"I don't know what you said to my grandfather, but he's ok with us." Erin said.
"He came to my office and we chatted for a little bit before picking you up."
"You used the Hill Charm, didn't you?"
"It worked on you, didn't it?" Erin slowly smiles.
"Yes it did." Erin leans over and tenderly kisses her.
