"I sorry I know you probably didn't want to see me but I had to come and see you. I needed to speak to you." Abby cried. CD stared at her speechless. "I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable I'll… I'll leave." Abby said and got up and started walk towards the door but CD softly grabbed her arm to stop her.
"Wait please." CD said in a weary voice. Abby nodded and turned to face CD and tried to resist giving her a hug but couldn't. She wrapped her arms around her tightly and held on to CD like her life depended on it. CD returned the hug with the same intensity. They stood there crying in each other's arms. CD pulled back and looked at Abby really good for the first time and smiled. "God you look like me when I was you age." She said flatly.
"I hope that's a complement." Abby smiled
"It is. Well I guess owe you and explanation?" CD said sadly. Abby shook her head no.
"You don't need to I read the file at the orphanage I know you were only fifteen when you had me. I also know that you were sexual assaulted and I was the result of it. I know it must hurt you to see me but it hurts me not to see you."
"It doesn't hurt me to see you. You're all I ever think about. I've always regretted giving you up but I knew you would have better life with out me I wasn't old enough to raise you by myself. I just figured…"
"Shh you don't have too." She smiled. "You have any idea how long I waited for this day." She said softly and gave CD another hug.
"I have and idea." She whispered in her ear. "Hey stay right here I be right back." CD said wiping her eyes before walking out the room. She came back two minutes later. "Come on we can go to my apartment to get to know each other a little better."
"Don't you have to work?" She asked confused.
"No. I just talked to my captain. Family is the most important thing to her so she gave me the rest of the day off."
"Oh okay but I have to pick something up first."
"Oh alright. You want to use your car or mine?"
"I don't have a car I just came from Dallas yesterday."
"Oh okay so where to?" CD asked as they walk to out of the room. Abby gave her the address.
They were in the car for around twenty minutes talking getting to know eachother better before they got to the address Abby gave CD.
"We shouldn't be here long. You want to come in?" Abby asked smiling over at CD she still couldn't believe that this was actually her real mom.
"No I'll wait in the car." CD replied and returned the smile.
"Okay. I'll be right back." Abby said and got out the car and walked towards the building. CD laid her head on the steering wheel and smiled to her self. She was actually spending the day with her daughter. Her daughter she couldn't believe it after nineteen years she finally got her baby back. She was shaken out of her thoughts when Abby opened the car door. CD looked over to see Abby holding a little girl that couldn't be more than 2 years old.
"Who's this cutie." CD asked softly caressing the sleeping toddler's cheek. CD thought maybe she was baby-sitting for the friend that she said she was staying with, but she didn't remember her saying she had a kid.
"Well...This is my daughter." Abby whispered nervously. CD's eyes widened.
"Your daughter?" CD asked in shock. Abby nodded.
"Yeah. Her name is Alyssa she's two." Abby said softly. CD silently looked from Abby to Alyssa and smiled.
"She gorgeous." CD said as the shock of her having a grandchild wore off.
"Thanks but don't let her angelic face fool you when she wakes up she will talk your head off." Abby laughed
"I can't wait." CD smiled
******
"You want to order something to eat? I'm starving." CD said as they walked in to her apartment.
"Yeah sure, what do you have a taste for?" Abby said walking in after CD carrying Alyssa in her arms.
"I don't know. Me and Nate was going to eat at this little Chinese place today." She said taking her jacket off and putting her keys on the table.
"Nate is that the guy at the station?" Abby asked walking over to the couch.
"Yeah he's my partner."
"Just your partner?" Abby smirked as she laid Alyssa on the couch.
"No. He is my friend to."
"Really so it's normal for Inspectors to kiss there partners on the cheek." She smiled
"Okay so Nate and I are more than just friends."
"That's what I thought." Abby laughed
"What about you are you attached to someone?"
"Other then Alyssa, no. Before you asked her dad took off when he found out I was pregnant." She said rubbing Alyssa's back. CD looked at her sadly. "I'm glad he did he doesn't deserve her." she said when she saw the sad look on CD's face. CD smiled. "Do you have any other kids?"
"No." she said sadly.
"Why not?"
"I didn't want to feel like I was replacing you." She said softly. Abby smiled 'She really does care about me' she stood up and gave CD a hug and whispered and her ear.
"I'm here now." Abby pulled back grab CD's hand and led her over to the couch. "It's not to late. Your still young and from what I know healthy. So why don't you go for it." CD laughed. "What I'm serious."
"So you want a brother or sister younger then your own daughter." CD smiled
"It's not that uncommon now a days besides Alley loves babies and god knows I'm not have anymore kids any time soon. Specking of Alley what do you want her to call you?"
"I don't know?"
"What about me? Can I call you mom or does that make you uncomfortable." CD thought about it for a moment and then smiled.
"It doesn't bother me and as for Alyssa I don't care what she calls me just as long as she don't call me grandma it makes me sound old."
"Okay. You got it." Abby laughed
"So back to our original question do you want Chinese?"
"Yeah, Chinese sounds great."
"Okay let me go see if I could find a paper." She got off the couch and when into her bedroom. Two minutes later she came out holding a paper. "Here you go." CD said and handed Abby the paper. Abby looked over the paper for a couple of seconds before giving it back to CD.
"You know what you want already?"
"Yeah when I order Chinese I always get the same thing I just wanted to make sure they had it."
"What is it?"
"Chicken and broccoli with a sweet and sour sauce and brown rice." CD laughed "What?" Abby asked confused why she was laughing.
"That's what I was going to get." Abby smiled. " What about her what is she going to have?" CD said motion to Alyssa.
"Oh she'll just eat off of my plate."
"Okay." She smiled and picked up the phone and ordered the food. "Hey you want to watch a movie while we wait?"
"Yeah sure what did you have in mind?"
"I don't know. All my tapes and DVD's are in my bedroom why don't you go pick one out."
"Alright," Abby said and stood up and walked in CD's room. CD laid her head back against the couch and closed her eye. She was again very happy to spend a day with her daughter. CD's eye's immediately open when she felt something on her lap.
"Hi I'm Alley." Alyssa said and softly in a small voice still looking a little sleepy. "Your pretty. You look like my mommy."
"So do you." CD said. Alyssa smiled and cuddled closer to CD and laid her head on her chest.
"Wow she never went to anyone that fast but it looks like she took a liking to you." Abby said as she walked back in the living room. CD looked at Alyssa and smiled. Abby walked back over to the couch and set next to CD.
"Hi mommy!" Alyssa said happily and leaned over and gave her mom a kiss but stayed on CD's lap.
"Mommy, why do look like her." Alyssa said pointing back to CD. Abby took deep breath and thought how to tell a two-year-old that the women that looked so much like mommy was her grandmother.
"Alley you know how you look like me, right." Alyssa nodded. "We'll I look like her because she's my mommy."
"Really?" Alyssa asked with big smile on her face. Abby nodded and smiled. She didn't have any grandparent sense her mom grew up in an orphanage so she was extremely happy to be getting one. Alyssa turned around to face CD. "Are you really my abuela?" CD looked at her confused.
"It's Spanish for grandmother." Abby said seeing CD's confused expression.
"How does a two year old learn Spanish."
"Her baby-sitter back in Texas taught her and yes Alyssa she is your abuela." Alyssa smiled and gave CD a hug and kissed her on the cheek.
