A/N: cat's birthday in this fic is not the cannon one however the age is only about a year and 3 or so months off
April 10th
"finally, I can move my head when do I get those joint injections" says Cat
"Cameron said today you would get your ankles done and x-rays of your other joints to see how bad the medication damaged them, wait why do you have brown roots……" says Tori
"I've been here so long that my natural hair is showing, why do you hate it" says Cat nervously
"no I thought it would be darker and that's why you went red instead of just doing cute pink streaks, I love you Cat, it doesn't mean a thing to me what color your hair is, it could be white for all I care, it doesn't change how I feel about you" says Tori as Ashley walks in
"aww cute, so you like silver on me" asks Ashley
"actually yeah" says Tori
"Cassie stopped by, wanted Cat to have this cute bow she saw at a store she was at" says Ashley handing the bow to Cat
"you know it's amazing how tuned she is to that, I mentioned how there was this bow I wanted last year and all I told her was the store it was at, that is literally the exact bow I was told her I wanted, also since Cassie's dad is Selena's dad the excellent memory Selena has is the same that Cassie has, the level of memory retention is genetic, it passes from father to daughter, though my mom has no such memory retention, for whatever reason it's resessive in my mom" says Cat as Selena walks in
"momma can we cuddle" asks Selena
"yes Seli we can, Tori can you help my into the bed" says Cat as Tori does so
"when did she find out" asks Ashley
"Seli has always knows she was my baby, when Seli's dad raped me I'd only just started learning about sex in health class, and I could forget about learning about consent, I had to look that up myself, she was born on December twelfth fourteen years ago in December, I'm turning twenty in May and I was six when she was conceived and seven when she was born, I barely survived that birth, don't ask me how I somehow got pregnant at six years old, I don't question my life anymore, all I know is it happened, my body has always been weird" says Cat
"can Paisley come live with us momma" asks Selena
"you really really love her Seli" asks Cat
"she's my world, you're my other world momma but she makes me really happy, her parents hate her for being gay momma" says Selena
"yes she can live with us, just don't tell aunty Jade that Paisley's parents hate her, she'll go nuts on them" says Cat as they all cuddle with her
"she cares about you a lot, do you love her momma" asks Selena
"it's an old love Seli, a connection like that doesn't just go away Selena May, she's with Trina now" says Cat
"I love my new family, I love my momma's" says Selena
"awwww that means so much to us Selena, we love you too" says Tori as Ashley starts crying
"did I say something wrong" asks Selena
"no, I've always wanted kids, it's one of the reasons I work here, I help the younger ones with stuff and translate for the older ones" says Ashley
"what do you help the younger ones with exactly" asks Tori curiously
"I work with girls exclusively, I make sure they brush their teeth and hair, make sure they shower or bath and when they use the bathroom I make sure they remember to wipe the right way, I'm allowed in the bathroom with some of them, most of them really, however it's protocol to have me wear an eye mask so they don't feel nervous with me there, I sit at the door while they are undressed and only take the mask off if they need help" says Ashley
"how are you allowed to get that close to them" asks Cat confused
"I got special clearance, I went through both FBI and LAPD clearance programs and I passed, there are rules I have to follow, especially for the girls who have hearing problems due to abuse, I'm not allowed to lay even a finger on any of them unless I either have written consent or they're facing me" says Ashley
"they all trust you Ashey, they call you momma Ash" says Selena
"you know some of these girls have real talent yet society threw them away because they are different, for example I have a girl age ten who can with complete accuracy tell me the first eighty digits of pi" says Ashley
"my memory is amazing and I can only remember the first six digits of pi, then again math has always been my worst enemy, this place under the FBI control taught math in a way so we'd feel like learning math is the only thing that will get us out of here, they were evil in ways you can only think would be in a supervillain movie not reality" says Selena as Paisley walks in
"can I cuddle too" asks Paisley
"yes of course Paisley, though just so you know Selena is my daughter not my sister" says Cat as Paisley walks over and cuddles them
"yeah I kinda figured, she has your eyes, your eyes are an even mix of your parents but Selena has your eyes specifically, it's very rare, I know it was rape and all that put Selena on this earth but she's really special, her touch alone is more calming than any medicine I've ever been on, I have really bad panic attacks over just about anything, a simple toothache can send me into a panic attack but her hugs stop them in its tracks, I can't explain it but in a way it's like my body needs her to touch for my body to function at all" says Paisley as Tori falls asleep
"why did Tori fall asleep" asks Selena
"she hasn't been sleeping well, her missing children power thing is active again" says Cat as Agent Kristine knocks on the door
"come in" says Ashley as Kristine walks in
"Tori was expecting you two days ago, you're putting children's lives at risk" says Cat Angry
"I'm sorry, the FBI isn't perfect, I was working the case of two missing girls with no leads, they'd just vanished, my boss asked me to help with a drug case, I'd only got the message from Tori after I agreed to help, I'm already in hot water for losing two pervs, I couldn't afford to tell my boss no, I have a family to feed" says Kristine
"try eight missing girls, Tori isn't usually given a days warning but trust me eight girls just went missing last night, she gave her dad Captain David Vega the same info that's on the desk for you, he has started a search as of a few hours ago and had said he would like you to be involved as he's not trained in kidnap and ransom cases" says Ashley
"oh God so it's one of those cases" asks Kristine
"four Asian girls, two Japanese and two Chinese by the look of it, the other four are Danish or icelandic I believe" says Ashley
"mom taught you well huh Ash" says Kristine
"huh, how do you know my name" asks Ashley
"damn girl, you don't even recognize your own older sister, that's harsh Ashley McKenna Grey" says Kristine
"ok Uhh we'll figure that out later, just head to LAPD headquarters and David will fill you in, your presence here is un-nerving to some of the patients here who were oppressed by FBI doctors" says Ashley as Kristine takes the file and leaves
"you have an older sister Ash, you never told us that" says Cat
"because I haven't seen her in a long time, she's a twin too, Melissa, the perv older sister I have that my dad mistakenly gave a position of power is her identical twin sister" says Ashley
"Kristine doesn't… you know do that does she" asks Cat
"if she did she wouldn't be working for the feds, if I had to guess she's repenting for having a twin sister who is basically a criminal, the things Melissa did to me scared me to death, one of the phrases she used was 'boys are gonna do it to you anyway so it's better to have it done by family', It's gonna take a lot of time for me to come to terms with Melissa's identical twin being the good one and not living in fear that Kristine's gonna do that to me too" says Ashley as Cameron walks in
"ok help me get Cat in the wheelchair so I can get Cat her injections then after that you guys are going home" says Cameron
"wait really" asks Cat
"yes, David Vega was just here and told me everything is open again, police presence is still high but its open and it's only high because of multiple break-ins of businesses during the lockdown, the combined effort of her fans plus their effort to arrest the violent ones has cleared up the city, it also helps that the few weeks it was on lockdown the air quality in the city got better" says Cameron as Cat is transferred to the wheelchair
"you know the truth about me don't you Cam" asks Selena
"that you're Cat's daughter yea, in college I minored in sibling dynamics, for one you two never fight, not even a minor squabble, every kid with siblings squabble on some level, I could see the bond between you and Cat was always very strong, always seemed like a mother/daughter bond to me" says Cameron
At home for real 3 hours later
"I can't believe how much has changed here, the buildings look so much taller" says Tori wheeling Cat into the apartment
"you made sure they put sound proof insulation between the two floors here right" asks Jade
"yes she did, I'm tired of hearing you two make love, it's very annoying, even in the coma I could hear you two kiss, like come the hell on I was in a coma, you couldn't spare me that" says Cat
"to be fair Cat we didn't know you could hear us when you were in a coma, also I'm trying really hard to be good friends with you and Tori, it felt wrong to spend time with just her and not you as well" says Jade
"also we didn't want to leave you alone, the coma wasn't caused by anything you had control over, we didn't want to hurt you" says Trina
"you guys love me don't you" asks Cat
"as much as we'd love to Cat, it's up to you guys to sort out, we'd have to sort out how we get around Tori and Trina being sisters, like would she not have access to Tori or something, we have no idea how it'd work, it's up for you guys to decide, if it happens it happens, if not then it's ok" says Jade
"ok Tori you go get Cat and the kids settled into their rooms, Jade and I need to have a talk" says Ashley
"ok but just remember she can easily break your arm so be nice" says Tori as she takes the girls to their room
"you gonna tell me to back off" asks Jade
"why would you assume that" asks Ashley
"that's generally what someone means when they say they're gonna have a talk with someone Ash" says Trina
"oh, I didn't know that, my family never used it like that, when my family said they were having "a talk" with us it was generally about planning, you guys aren't a threat to me, I've known you guys long enough to know what's what, you both have feelings for Cat and maybe Tori as well" says Ashley as Jade looks at Trina suspiciously
"hey what's with the look, I do not think of Tori like that, we were never close, we were the spitting image of sibling rivalry, just Tori and I getting along freaks me out, if we decide to do this the best I can do is finally watch a movie with her without fighting and I'll take that any day of the week, it's not easy seeing your little sister in pain, I've changed because of it and so has Tori but the one thing that hasn't changed is her and I are sisters and I refuse to play with her, I may play with Cat and if invited I may play with you Ash but one thing I absolutely need to make absolutely clear is me and Tori will never be a thing, please don't force her to try, she's been through enough" says Trina
"what was she like growing up" asks Jade curiously
"Tori was the sweetest thing, that saying about the youngest getting everything they want was Tori's life till she turned thirteen, then everything changed, she became very secretive, never really had friends, she thought she did but I constantly asked any she had over and they said they only talk to her because she's pretty and they wanted to kiss her, I never had the heart to tell her she'd been used most of her life because of her looks, I was a bad sister to her, I should have been there for her and if I had maybe she wouldn't have had that big fight with cat and hurt her" says Trina
"ok we're gonna have a movie night and you will cuddle her as a sister and be honest with her about everything, you need to come clean" says Jade
"it's just gonna bring back bad memories Jade, I can't do that to her" says Trina
"actually it's the opposite Trina, you would help her see just how much you did care about your little sister, in her eyes it's clear siblings are never meant to be friends, it doesn't matter how many people tell her otherwise, because you two used to fight she uses that as proof that sisters can't be friends" says Ashley
"she literally has everything, the voice, the perfect teeth, the looks, the cheekbones, I didn't get any of that, trust me she has a massive crush on Andre but she's always been nervous around guys, before Hollywood Arts the only place she sang was in the shower, Andre was the one who showed her how confident she really was" says Trina
"you saying she's not gay" asks Ashley
"weather she is or not isn't for me to say, all I'm saying is that she saw herself in every girl he's ever dated, every time she ever got the courage to even hint at how she felt she found out he was dating another girl, it's my belief she stopped trying, I mean she literally had the chance to make her music a duo with him and passed on it, she didn't make that decision easily" says Trina
"in your eyes would she invite him into the relationship if I asked him to come over and talk about it" asks Ashley
"not likely, she values your guy's happiness more than her own, she'd see it as a stab to the back of both you and Cat, kinda like a betrayal" says Trina
"ok so what I'm hearing is don't invite him over, even if he is a hunk and a half" says Ashley
"no what I'm saying is invite him over but don't make romance the topic, observe how they interact" says Trina
