8am

"Trina I haven't met your girlfriend yet, I assume she's the one wearing the kitsune mask, it's very beautiful" says David

"yes that's her it's a fox mask, she's afraid to meet you, the last time she got this far in a relationship with a girl she was called vulgar World war two slurs and she never saw the girl again, she's afraid you won't approve" says Trina

"I know all too well the slurs one can endure, Holly was all too good at using them, that's why she's no longer in our lives, I'd finally had enough when she targeted you and Tori, she called you worthless and stupid and she'd referred to Tori as 'worth a million dollars and absolutely braindead', all because your cycle and Tori's linked up and she had to do chores for a few days, like come on pain is pain, she'd even went so far as to say that you and Tori needed to get knocked up so you could find out what real pain was" says David

"ugh, I couldn't be happier, I miss having Jade and Tori here, now it's just Trisha and Rebecca and Rebecca isn't doing much of anything" says Trina

"Tori's in the stage of memory recovery where she has old baby memories and recent memories but very little in the middle, she's actually quite terrified of you, the only memories she has of you are of your snarky responses, as for Rebecca not doing much, that's on purpose, until Tori gets better Rebecca is not to say a word to you, because you've recently lost weight you look more like Tori, Rebecca may be a happy faced cheerleader but she has a history of violence" says David

"I'm not worried about her, I can defend myself, I'm more worried about WHY Rebecca has violence issues" says Trina

"Robbie says it started three years to the day that Trisha's parents forced them apart, after she went through therapy, she was adamant that she would make no friends until she saw 'ishy' again, that every time they told her no, that they would not fight for her to be allowed to see 'ishy' again she would break things, I have a feeling she saw something during those two playdates, Trisha has confirmed that both parents would touch her inappropriately to 'teach' sex education, I have a feeling that Rebecca saw that and THAT'S why out of all her friends at the time she made a fuss about 'ishy' specifically" says David as Rebecca suddenly freezes and crys at the top of the stairs

"is what he says true Becca" asks Trina as Rebecca manages a nod before running back to the spare room

"I didn't notice she was there" says David

"she's turning thirteen in a few days dad, that's like a big thing for Jewish people" says Trina

"yes, I know, she will be allowed to go, her parents and Robbie have already prepared everything but Trisha won't be going" says David

"dad, Rebecca doesn't WANT to go, her non Jewish classmates have convinced her that she'll be made to drink alcohol as a part of the celebration, she just wants to spend the day with Trisha, dad she's afraid something will happen to her, while her parents aren't violent towards her, she has a few aunts and uncles that have criminal records for beating their kids as punishment" says Trina

"I will talk to Irene later today, it's my day off so I want to get to know your girlfriend, I did the same thing when Tori first brought Jade home, is your relationship with her sexual right away like Tori and Jade or is it slow" says David

"fast-ish, can she wear the kitsune mask, she will at least feel comfortable talking to you if you can't identify her, though her dad is mega rich and has funded several movie studios but she is very self conscious about her nose, she'd tried to stop her parents fighting when she was five and her mom punched her, she's no longer in the picture but her nose is a bit wonky looking, personally I think it's cute looking but she hates it, she wants to get surgery done on it to make it look normal, it bugs her that much" says Trina

"if it means I get to meet her then I don't mind, by chance does it affect her breathing" says David

"kinda but not enough for her father to pay for it" says Trina

"in a sexual relationship breathing is important Trina, if her dad won't pay for it I will and then I'll send him the bill" says David

"her dad doesn't know we're having sex, and she doesn't want him to know" says Trina

"then I'll pay and tell him it's either pay me back or I charge him with parental negligence, if it's affecting her breathing at all and he won't do anything I could go find him and charge him right now, he would serve time, he can't just do that, that would be like me not caring when you sprained your ankle, I cared enough to make absolutely certain it wasn't broken or impeding your ability to walk, breathing is just as important, all it would take is one fight and she might not be able to breathe at all, an already broken and repaired nose is fragile, it wouldn't take much to damage it further" says David as Trina's eyes bulge

"ok I'll go get her… you'd really pay up front for that" says Trina

"breathing is important to be alive Trina, it's a basic function of our bodies, not making sure someone can breath without difficulty should be a crime" says David as Trina runs upstairs to get Kei

10 minutes later as Trina and Kei come down the stairs

"hello Mr. Vega, my name is Makino Kei, I assume you know about Trina and I having sex, is that why you're willing to pay to fix my nose" asks Makino Kei

"hello Kei, no that's not the reason, Trina says it's affecting your breathing, how bad is it" says David

"not great but not terrible, the surgery is way expensive, how can you afford this kind of favor" says Makino Kei

"a plastic surgeon that deals with abuse victims was attacked last year for 'altering the face of god', his job is literally to put things back where they were, anyway for saving his life he put an offer out for me to have a free operation, when I told him I don't do plastic surgery he said anyone I bring that needs it will get a free operation, I have yet to cash in that favor" says David

"but what if it's the bone" asks Makino Kei, adjusting her mask

"it's a full operation, there is a surgeon that deals with bone damage, he's a pretty accurate guy, bone repair surgeon fixes bone damage then the plastic surgeon fixes the skin issues, let's get going" says David

"what about the girls in the spare room, should they really be left alone" Makino Kei

"they'll be fine, Jade put tons of security cameras around the house, both in and out and the spare bedroom is a heavy door with several types of locks, all of which would be activated automatically in the event of a break in, it's a safe room, completed last year, I've had several police try and break into it to see how strong it is, it took a skilled police officer with a battering ram half an hour to shear a single lock, three hours to break into the room, no criminal is going to be that persistent, not to mention I've upgraded the lock material since then, they're completely safe" says David

"Kei, the walls, floors and the ceiling have metal reinforcement, it's not just drywall, it's a legit safe room, secure enough to store valuables, the door is usually open all the time so Tori and I could enter and close the door in the event of a robbery, the moment it's closed after detecting a break in a silent alarm goes off, informing the police, the last time it happened the police found the robber banging his head against the door in frustration, now let's get going" says Trina

2 hours later at the place

"how bad is It doc" asks David

"pretty bad, whoever fixed her nose should never have been a doctor, it was terribly set, the bone has been set properly now, I'm not at all surprised it was affecting her breathing, Shawn is now fixing the skin around her nose, again definitely not expertly repaired, how do you plan on paying" says Dmitri the bone doctor

"Shawn owes me a favor" says David

"he may but I don't, I require payment for this" says Dmitri

"I'm a cop, I have insurance for victims, here's the insurance card" says David handing over the insurance papers

"it won't bounce will it, it looked like an old break, if she was a victim it wasn't any time recently" says Dmitri

"her parents were fighting, she was five, she tried to stop them, her mother punched her as a result, no the insurance won't bounce, they don't require knowing how long ago the victimization was, Makino Kei is her name, it also wasn't the first time she was hit by her mom, nor was it the last, her father wouldn't pay to have it fixed unless it was seriously affecting her ability to breath" says David

"that's criminal, you should arrest him" says Dmitri

"oh believe me I plan to confront him, I'll be giving him a choice, pay up in full and give up parental rights and give her an income or I arrest him for serial parental negligence and she gets all his money" says David

"Shawn should almost be done, her nose shouldn't be touched for at least a week minimum, three weeks maximum, the bone had never healed properly, that's how badly it was repaired, that's what was making it hard to breathe, the nasal passage was partially obstructed" says Dmitri

"print me a bill for the full amount" says David

"but you're getting it covered" says Dmitri

"and they'll dock my pay until half the cost is paid, besides why should the neglecting father know she got a discount, he's rich, he can pay for it, why should I have my pay docked for his neglect, if it were a poor victim then I'd take the hit to my pay but since he's rich why should I pay for it" says David

"you know, I don't get along with many police officers but man I like the way you think, I'll get that printed right away" says Dimitri

Later that day at The Makino home

"officer someone used my daughters name to get their nose redone, I will absolutely not be paying for it" says Arata Makino

"sir that was your daughter, whoever you paid to have it set when she was a kid absolutely f**ked it up, I'm Trina's father, she was concerned about your daughter's nose, so here's the deal, either you pay up, give up parental rights and let her spend money or I arrest you for serial parental negligence oh and I might just arrest you anyway" says David

"she never had surgery, you wouldn't dare arrest me, I'm rich and I'm very well connected, you'd probably lose your job" says Arata

"oh I'm sure your partners would love to hear that you let your wife physically assault your daughter, the media would have a field day with that, you'd lose all power, the LAPD police force hates abuse enablers as do most people in Hollywood even if they're sometimes abusive themselves, they wouldn't tolerate an enabler funding them, what's it going to be" says David as Arata groans

"ugh fine I'll pay it and transfer her inheritance to her bank account, where am I sending her stuff" says Arata

"I'll take the important stuff now" says David

"you act as if I'd know what that is, come on in and take whatever she wants from her room" says Arata

"i have a list thanks though" says David as he enters and two other officers follow

Back at the Vega house two hours later

"well Kei, did he get everything" asks Trina

"everything on the list anyway, Mr. Vega, did the IRS people show up, you said you called them" says Makino Kei

"they arrived as I left, they've been meaning to audit him for awhile, enabling the abuse your mother delivered was reason enough for the LAPD to open an investigation, the IRS learned real quick and wanted to nab him for tax evasion so the chief let them, your inheritance should be in your bank account by tonight, the IRS ordered him to transfer that plus more, he's going to be serving time and you now own the mansion" says David

"wait they can do that… but I'm not old enough to own that house" asks Makino Kei

"technically it's in my name until you're of age but you own it, your dad's doing thirty years for tax evasion and embezzlement, he's not allowed to own ANY property going forward, most of his property is being sold off to pay the taxes he owes, what remains will be signed over to you, the process will take several years but you own that house as of today" says David

"so there is no need to go back for the other stuff" asks Trina

"technically no but if you choose to live there with Trina, it would become a home for me as well as you are not yet an adult and therefor need adult supervision" says David

"fine but you must give Rebecca more freedom, she realizes what she did was wrong but she still thinks you're making her pay a big price" says Makino Kei

"her actions sent Tori to the hospital Makino Kei, she doesn't remember enough to even attend school, she was on the honor role, top of her class in EVERY class and now she can barely remember who anyone is, she keeps messing up her best friends names, the only name she remembers every time is her girlfriends' name, what she did could have killed Tori, she's at least twice as strong as she thinks she is, when my fellow officers found out what she did they went nuts, they wanted her hung for attacking Tori like that, I told them 'my daughter my responsibility', I understand she may think I'm being harsh but nobody else would have let her anywhere near Trisha, I'm talking to Rebecca's mom next, who by the way thinks how I'm punishing her is fine, not too weak but not too extreme, better than she'd have handled the situation, anyway no biting or touching of Kei's nose Trina, doctors orders, they think a week but I think it will be less but we will have to see" says David as he leaves to talk to Rebecca's mom

At the Shapiro house

"you're certain she's afraid one of the bad family members will hurt her" asks Irene

"yes, I'm positive of it, also Trina and I found and confirmed why she has a mean streak" says David

"wait seriously, she wouldn't even explain it to Robbie, she'd just say 'I can't help it', then walk away in tears" says Irene

"on one or both of those playdates with 'ishy', Trisha's parents played with Trisha inappropriately, they told her it was to teach Trisha about sexual education, I brought it up this morning to Trina, I hadn't realized Rebecca was at the top of the stairs, Rebecca burst into tears, Trina asked if my theory of her seeing something during those playdates was right and Trina got a nod in response but Rebecca ran back up to the spare room right after" says David

"omg, why wouldn't she tell us" asks Rick Shapiro

"you must have done something to make her feel like you wouldn't believe her and seeing as to how Robbie was quickly approaching his bar-mitzvah she probably didn't know if she could trust him either, is there any chance you could make her bat-mitzvah a small closed loop affair, like less than a hundred people" says David

"we've already invited more than that, it's customary that it be a big event, we can deny entry to those that you ask us to but we can't shrink it, not now so close to the event, we already spent thousands of dollars, this is a big moment in her life, it's the whole point to be a big celebration, in our faith she will be an adult" says Irene

"that's another point I want to touch on, her non Jewish classmates have managed to convince her that being an 'adult' means she'll be drinking alcohol during the celebration, apparently a teacher told her that if she attends her bat-mitzvah that she will no longer be welcome at that school and will be expelled, so there's a lot of pressure, there is also a psychological reason to her actions" says David

"so what, you're saying we should cancel the entire thing, give up her right to celebrate" asks Rick Shapiro

"no, when she started acting out she couldn't have fully understood why she was acting the way she was, she couldn't have known she had feelings for Trisha, she'd have noticed something but I doubt she'd have understood it, having seen what she'd seen she was likely horrified by it and wanted someone to help her free Trisha from the freaks, which led to the insanely aggressive outburst when Trisha ran afraid after Tori kept asking about her special oil, long story, anyway as a result of what she did and the general understanding that as a Jewish adult she'll be accountable for her actions, given it happened so close she will be afraid that some of the guests will want to hold her accountable for nearly killing Tori, yes that is true, the force and speed with which Rebecca pulled Tori's ponytail severed several nerves and created tiny cracks in one of Tori's neck vertebra, as of right now Tori can't even hold up her own head and the memory issues are persisting even if lessening slightly" says David

"if she nearly killed Tori then why isn't she in custody" asks Irene

"well for one, her age, no jury would convict her on evidence alone, for another at the rate Tori's healing it would be several months before any memories become clear enough to be admissible and for yet another Tori would never wanted me to, Tori would even claim my punishment is too extreme, I know that for a fact because even now, in her current state she won't let me engage in police punishment for what Rebecca did, she won't consent to criminal charges and she forbade me from deeming her unable to consent due to brain damage, she's tied my hands, though she's been a lot more kind and maybe even happy, she spends her days by Trisha's side, in Rebecca's eyes the punishment won't be the fact that she doesn't get to go to school but that Trisha knows what she did, that in a moment of sadness that Trisha was again slipping away she lost control, as of this morning Rebecca has told me that Tori hold the key to her future, that only Tori can rule on her crime and it be a just verdict "says David

"that doesn't sound like Rebecca" says Rick as Robbie pipes up

"it does actually, though I'm sure Mr. Vega used more adult words than Rebecca would, Dad she doesn't trust the legal system not to be fair against Jewish people, she would feel like they'd make an example of her being as American people see this country as a Christian nation, she'd feel like they'd crucify her as their book says us Jewish people crucified their savior, she's said that line many times, quite frankly she doesn't feel safe living in America at all as a Jewish girl, in fact she has been feeling like Judaism has made us unwilling to fight for what's right, losing faith in Judaism over the past few years" says Robbie

"so we spent all this money for nothing, what does she believe in then" asks Rick visibly upset

"dad calm down, in her eyes you are the pinnacle of a Jewish man, you taught her about the holocaust, about how it nearly wiped out our ancestors in Europe, that we Jewish people need to stick together, she took that to heart, but the moment she realized she might only like girls and she told you that, you started treating her like an outcast, that 'I'd rather have you sleep with Robbie than date some girl', that absolutely freaked her out, that you, her father and model Jewish man could even think about suggesting that i****t is a good idea rather than letting Becca be Becca, it's that kind of behaviour that is pushing her away, mom and I accepting her for who she is, is the ONLY thing keeping her from denouncing Judaism entirely, she still trusts the bat-mitzvah ceremony, her 'friends' have scared her about alcohol consumption being part of it, she will likely eat the food just fine but will avoid any drinks unless handed to her by someone she trusts, at this point it won't be you dad and unfortunately mom, by association it won't be you either, that leaves me or Trisha, I know you've not invited Trisha but at this point there is little chance of Becca staying in the ceremony without her" says Robbie

"Robbie, it's not that I don't believe Becca likes girls, it's her age that's concerning me, she came out as leaning gay at NINE Robbie, that was a lot to process at the time, I myself wasn't sure of anything at that age so it shocked me that she could be so sure at that age, I said things I should not have said" says Rick

"dad she doesn't have feelings for just any girl, it's Trisha in particular, based on what happened between them during those two playdates, she hasn't told me much, just that they did spend most of that time cuddling, if you want Becca feeling comfortable you HAVE to include Trisha" says Robbie

"we said no because David said no, that it was part of Rebecca's punishment, he felt it would be rewarding her" says Irene

"that and Trisha has issues with big crowds, she would have to deal with Rebecca only, meaning she would have to stay by Rebecca's side the entire time, that said there would also be FBI restraints put in place because Trisha is a victim of Logan, nobody would be able to ask her any questions about her past nor her family, they would only be allowed to talk about her and Rebecca, if Rick is ok with Trisha being there then I will allow it" says David

"if she does come Rebecca has a thing about twinning, in this case she would prefer Trisha wear something very similar to what she's wearing, Rebecca has chosen a very beautiful pink dress, Robbie show David the picture so he can get something similar for Trisha" says Rick as Robbie pulls up the picture on his pear pad

"Robbie I'm not a dress shopper, you're going to have to come with me" says David

"absolutely, let's go" says Robbie sprinting out the door

"you know David sometimes I feel Robbie is more a girl than a boy, he even fits better into girls pants than boy panta" says Rick

"if he feels he is more girl than boy let him figure that out, don't force that decision onto him, there is a ton of stigma related to that stuff, he might be too afraid to admit it because of how you reacted to Rebecca liking girls" says David

"huh, I guess I didn't think about it that way" says Rick

"of course you wouldn't Rick, you assume too much, you want grandkids, you might just have to accept that they won't be biologically your grandkids, I'm willing to take that risk if it means both my daughters get to be happy, are you willing to let both Robbie and Rebecca be happy no matter the outcome of their sexuality or gender" says David

"if it means they can be happy yes, do you really think Robbie wants to be a girl" says Rick

"I'll ask him and let you know but you must be accepting" says David as he heads to the car

2 hours later after finally finding a dress for Trisha

"Robbie I have a question to ask, I saw how you were looking at the dresses, you weren't just finding one that would match closely to Rebecca's dress, you were eyeing them as if you wanted to wear them, this is a safe place, do you want to change your name" asks David

"I've never felt right, looking for a dress for Trisha made me feel jealous, Rebecca always got the coolest expensive girl clothes and I had to wear cheap boy clothes" says Robbie

"is it just jealousy or is it a deeper feeling of not feeling right in your body, do you feel like a girl" asks David

"my dad would never approve, I've had to hide it for this long, I can wait longer" says Robbie

"I spoke to him about it, he already has suspicions, I told him that he might have to sacrifice the prospect of having biological grandchildren, he doesn't seem willing to make the same mistake he made by making Rebecca feel bad about liking girls, I asked him if he would be willing to make the sacrifice and his response was 'if it means they can be happy then yes', let's go back into the store and pick you out some clothes" says David as Robbie manages a smile

3 hours later as Robbie arrives at The Vega house in her new dress

"well girl I must say you look adorable" says Trina

"you accept me, just like that, I thought you of all people would hate me" says Robbie

"maybe at one time in the past but I've learned a lot lately, dad Tori's coming back today with Jade" says Trina

"not until she's good enough to go to school" says Trina

"and yet her reasoning was you might become controlling over Rebecca and Trisha's lives, she's regained memories of how you kept her 'honest' by repeatedly grounding her for things I had actually done, she now remembers in full the situation before Rebecca grand slammed her and she told me 'I deserved what came my way, I made the mistake, Rebecca should not be punished further' she feels that her being here is the only way to make sure you don't do something that you might regret doing later, she's already on her way, she says any memory recovery left would be better suited in her own bed" says Trina

"fine" says David rolling his eyes as Tori and Jade come walking in with bags

"ahh glad to be home, Trina your girlfriend is cute, you struck gold, hey Rosie, I was wondering how long it would take before you felt comfortable enough, Jade you owe me money, I won the bet" says Tori

"you bet on me being trans….. I'm not sure I like that" says Robbie(Rosie)

"Cat has been the go between between me and Trina, Trina's been giving Cat snippets of my life hoping that Cat telling me would spark some recovery and it has but she said you don't just have one pair of girl size jeans, that you have half a dresser full, that you live a secret life as a girl, if you ever decide to make the full trip over to a girls life, the surgery and stuff, there is always a spot in my bedroom for you" says Tori as Rosie's jaw drops

"that's the part that scares me, the surgery, what if they mess up, can't I just ask my doctor for the hormone replacement thing, could I be with you girls then" asks Rosie as Tori almost drools at the thought

"Rosie, it's the thing that ultimately makes you a guy that she can't stand, we'll be watching sexy videos and the moment one shows up she runs to the bathroom to throw up, I don't know what about them makes her sick but it does, her mouth is watering, there is nothing stopping you from being involved right now but as she can't stand that part of your body, which would apply to any femme presenting person with that part, it would only be your top half being involved until you agree to surgery, I'd even pay for it, I know an amazing doctor here in LA that can talk to you about reassignment surgery, he can talk about your fears with you, he can explain the process but if you're going to be serious about being with Tori and me it will be a required action or Tori will say no" says Jade

"Trina what's your opinion" asks Rosie

"it depends on how far you want to go, I know two girls who got as far as three days before the surgery only to have the doctor say something that made them back away from the surgery but I also know several that were not freaked out and had the surgery, don't use the surgery solely to be with Tori and Jade, that's selfish, walk the girl road awhile, find out if it's as amazing a feeling as you dreamed it would be, if it is then book the surgery, if not then you can still be a girl without it" says Trina

"what about hormone replacement" asks Rosie

"when you start is up to you, it could be tomorrow, next week, next month or even a year from now, if you do start it just know that 'chest pillow' growth can be a little painful but we can help you through that, right Jade" says Trina

"absolutely, now Rosie let's go take a nap, Tori was kept up last night by memories rushing back into her head" says Jade motioning for Rosie to follow them to their room

"really" asks Rosie

"what better way to start your new journey, I assure you snuggling with my sister and Jade is an experience I will never forget" says Trina

"you didn't do anything with Tori though right" asks Rosie

"absolutely not, you won't be either, not tonight, probably not tomorrow night, not for awhile, don't take advantage of the holes in her memory, don't try and rewrite your past to benefit a future relationship between you, Tori and Jade, trust me it won't go over well and you won't be the only one burned by the lies if you do lie and Tori finds out when real memories of how you acted finally return, I tried to play the angel in distress and Tori quickly shot me down once memories of my true actions returned, I was as confused about my sexuality as Tori was but Tori handled it better, I said things I should never have said and I did things I shouldn't have done, I'm on a path to a better future now, I wouldn't be here with my girlfriend if it hadn't been for Tori always calling my bluff, I may be no angel but I'm no devil either" says Trina pushing Rosie towards Jade's open hand

3 minutes later

"you know I never thought I'd see the day where Robbie would embrace her true self" says David

"you're going to keep calling her Robbie aren't you" asks Trina

"I'm bad with things like that, you know this Katrina, I had the same problem when both you and Tori shortened your names" says David

"and yet you still just called me Katrina, though I never understood why Tori shortened it from Victoria to Tori" says Trina

"you had no problem gaining weight, she was being made fun of at school for being skinny, she felt that you'd be seen as rich because you gained weight easily and therefor were well fed therefor I had no problem with money, she saw herself as poor scum that would never rise to be accepted or treated right and with the respect she deserves because of her weight issues" says David

"huh, why did I not think of it that way" says Trina, mulling over just how fragile Tori really is
