It has been over a month since the situation. Amanda and Olivia had settled just fine. They before missed being a cop but Olivia likes that she comes home at the same time every day. Amanda likes that she has more time to bond with her Daughters. Noah, Billie, and Jesse had settled in well. Noah and Jesse made a lot of friends. Noah already has a best friend and he loves his new role as a big brother to Jesse and Billie. Riley has settled in too, but she has started to secretly cut herself. She somewhat likes school. She made some friends too, but the kids are a year or two older than her, some of them do pick on her or call her names. Riley had started talking to Olivia and Amanda more, instead of shutting them out.

Monday 3:30 PM

Riley walked out of school and started walking down the street to pick up Noah and Jesse.

"Hi Guys." Riley said with a smile as Jesse ran and gave her a big hug.

"So how was school today?" Riley asked

"It was fun. I drew a picture of all of us." Jesse said as she showed Noah and Riley her drawing.

"That's cool. How about you Noah?" Riley asked

"It was great. Hey, Riley, could you help me with my math homework when we get home if you don't have anything to do?" Noah asked

When they finally get home.

"Hey guys, how was your day?" Amanda asked when she saw them walking into the house.

"It was great." Noah said

"I drew a picture." Jesse said as she ran over to Amanda.

"That's really cool Jesse." Amanda said as she hugged Jesse.

"How about you Riley?" Amanda asked

"Still things like the other days at school." Riley said as she walked over to the kitchen table where Noah was sitting and started to help him with his homework.

4:30 PM

Amanda, Billie, Frannie, and Jesse were playing outside on the playground. Noah was in his room playing on his phone. Riley was also in her room playing on her phone with Rocky on her bed.

7:00 PM

Olivia walked through the door and greeted everyone with hugs and kisses. They had dinner. Now Jesse and Noah were playing. Billie was asleep. Riley was in her room. Amanda and Olivia were watching TV.

An hour later Jesse and Noah went to bed.

While the kids were asleep Amanda and Olivia sat on the couch together talking. Their friendship had been becoming stronger, but now they are learning a lot more about each other. What Amanda didn't know was that Olivia had strong feelings for her and What Olivia didn't know was that Amanda also had strong feelings for her. But they are also confused about how the other one feels about each other.

8:45 PM

Before Olivia gets ready for bed she decides to check on Riley because she has not seen her for a while. When she walked down the stairs and into the den she saw Riley sitting on the couch staring at the wall.

"Are you okay?" Olivia asked

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm just thinking, that's all." Riley said

"What are you thinking about?" Olivia asked as she sat down next to Riley.

"You and mom." Riley said.

"What do you mean?" Olivia asked, looking confused.

"What I am trying to say is that you and my mom both have feelings for each other but both are confused about the other feelings. So I'm saying that you two should talk about how you guys feel about each other." Riley said. Olivia was shaken to hear what Riley said.

"And before you ask, yes I know that you like my mom. My mom has had a crush on you ever since she met you. I know you both are too stubborn to tell each other how you feel, so I decided to give you a little push. You both are idiots. Y'all been in front of each other for the entire time. So I think you should talk to her before she goes to bed. I'm going to bed. Goodnight." Riley said as she got up and walked into her room.

Olivia sat there for a minute thinking about what Riley just said. Before she walked upstairs and into her bedroom where she found Amanda sitting on the bed and reading.

"Hey, where were you?" Amanda asked when she saw Olivia walk into the room.

"I was talking to Riley." Olivia said as she sat next to Amanda. Amanda was shocked to hear that because mostly Riley never talks to Olivia.

"What did you talk about?" Amanda asked as she laid down the book she was reading.

"That you two like each other, but you two are too stubborn to tell each other how you feel " A voice said by the doorway.

They both turned to the door to see Riley standing right there with a smile on her face.

"Thought you were going to bed?" Olivia asked

"I was, but I want some milk. Bye now." Riley said as she walked away.

"So you like me?" Amanda asked with a smile on her face.

"Yes. I like you so much, but I didn't think you liked me back till Riley told me." Olivia said

"Well Riley is right I do like you very much." Amanda said as Olivia leaned in for a kiss.
