The next morning

Riley was the first one to wake up in the morning. She got up and got dressed before she decided to make breakfast for everyone.

Riley walked around the kitchen gathering all the ingredients she needed to make pancakes.

A few minutes later

The twins walked out of their room.

"Well good morning little ones." Riley said

"Morning." The twins said

"I hope yall like pancakes." Riley said as she started making the pancakes.

"Can we help?" Makayla asked

"Sure. Come and wash your hands." Riley said

Riley helped the twins wash their hands and they started making the pancakes.

Riley walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out Strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry to go with the pancakes.

A few minutes later

Jesse and Noah walked out of their room and into the kitchen.

"Morning Riles." Noah said

"Good morning." Riley said

"Is mama and mommy still asleep?" Jesse asked

"Yep." Riley said

"But don't they have to go to work?" Noah asked

"Yes, but I think they took a few days off to be with the twins." Riley said as started cutting the strawberries.

"Oh." Noah said

"Wait but don't you have to go to school today?" Noah said

"Nope, I got suspended for two days." Riley said

"Why?" Noah said

"I don't want to talk about it." Riley said

"Okay." Noah said as he walked into the living room to watch tv.

A few minutes later

Olivia and Amanda walk down the hall and turn left into the kitchen and they see Jesse and Noah watching tv, the twins and Riley making pancakes.

"Good morning." Noah and Jesse said cheerfully.

"Good morning babies." Amanda said

"Morning kiddos." Olivia said as she walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning Thing 1 and Thing 2." Olivia said to the twins with a smile. As the twins laughed.

"Good morning liv." The twins said

"Morning baby girl. Why are you not at school?" Olivia asked

"I got suspended." Riley said, not looking at Olivia.

"Why?" Olivia asked

Silence.

"Riley?" Olivia asked

"Can you just leave me the fuck alone. Damn." Riley whispers.

Olivia looked at Riley. She was surprised that Riley was pushing her away. Olivia wants to know what happened but in front of the twins.

"Fine." Olivia said as she walked into her and Amanda's bedroom.

"What's wrong with Mommy?" Jesse asked

"I don't know. I will be right back." Amanda said as she got up and walked into their bedroom.

"What's up Liv?" Amanda asks.

She doesn't answer.

"Olivia?" Amanda asks.

Nothing

Amanda walked over and wrapped her arms around Olivia's waist.

"What's going on sweetheart?" Amanda asks.

She sighs. "It's nothing Amadna. I promise." She says.

"I don't believe you Olivia." I say.

"It's just Riley pushing me away and I don't know why." Olivia said

"She will come around. Liv." Amanda said

"But what if she does?" Liv asked

"Then we will figure something out." Amanda said

"Breakfast is done."Jesse yells from the living room.

"Come on, let's go eat before it's all gone." Amanda said

Olivia just nodded.

An hour later

Jesse and Noah get ready for school. Lucy picks them up and drops them at school.

Now, it was just Riley, The twins, Frannie, Amanda, and Olivia in the house.

Olivia and Amanda were watching the twins play, while Riley was on her phone.

"The hell." Riley said before she walked into her room.

Amanda and Olivia looked at each other.

"I will go see what that was about." Amanda said as she stood up and walked over to Riley's room and knocked on the door.

A few seconds later

Riley opened the door. Amanda could see that Riley was crying.

"Oh, honey what happens?" Amanda asked as she pulled Riley into her arms.

"One of my friends was shot and killed by a cop." Riley said

"Oh, i'm so sorry." Amanda said

"Yep." Riley said as she walked back into the living room.

"Ry-ry are you okay?" Mackenzie asked

"Yeah, kiddo, I'm fine." Riley said

"Oaky." Mackenzie said with a smile as went back to play with Makayla.

A few seconds later Riley joined them.

Olivia walked over to Amanda.

"One of her friends was shot by a cop." Amanda said

Olivia didn't know what to say.

"I think there is more to the story." Amanda said

"You're right." Riley said from behind them.

"My friend was an black boy that was shot by a white cop. For the past week me and my friends were doing something about white cops shooting black men for no reason. That's why I got suspended from school because two white girls were saying shit about black people so I punched them in the face. I did not tell you guys because yall would not understand the pain i feel. So that's why I talked to Fin about this. There now you know." Riley said

"Riley. You can still talk to us. You know that right?" Olivia asked

"Yeah i know that." Riley said as Olivia's phone started to ring.

"Benson." Olivia answered

"Hello mrs. Benson. This is Makayla and Mackenzie social worker Jude Brown." Jude said

"Oh, hi. How can I help you?" Olivia asked

"Well, I'm sorry to tell you but Makayla and Mackenzie I have found their biological mother. She wants to take her daughter home tonight. I will pick them up in two hours." Jude said

"Where has she been all the years?" Olivia asked

"She has been in the witness protection program for the last four years." Judy said

"OKay, do I have a say in this?" Olivia asked

"Nope. Sorry Mrs Benson." Judy said as she hung up the phone.

"Damn it." Olivia said

"What, what happens?" Amanda asked

"They found the twins' biological mother. Judy Brown is coming over to pick them up in two hours." Olivia said

"What no, they can't do that." Riley said

"They can Riley. Since she is their biological mother she can have them back." Olivia said

"Great, now how are we going to tell the twins?" Riley asked

"Tell us what?" Makayla asked

Riley just looked at Amanda and Olivia.

"Your biological mother is coming get yall." Riley said

"What do you mean?" Makayla asked

"It means that you are going to stay with your mother." Amanda said

"Nooooooooo. We want to stay here." Mackenzie cried.

"We know but your mother wants you guys back." Olivia said

"But will you guys visit us?" Makayla asked

"We see about that." Amanda said

The twins just nodded their heads.

"Okay how about we have some fun before yall have to leave." Riley said

"Can we go to the park?" The twins asked

"Sure." Olivia said

"Then let go." Riley said as she and the twins ran over to the door.

"I can't believe this is happening." Amanda whisper

"Yeah, me too." Olivia said.
