A New Family, a New Future-Part 14:

Cailin kept her word and arrived back at Beacon Hill on the Friday night and Maura was surprised when she opened the door.

"Cailin? What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Didn't Belle or Mum tell you I was coming back for the weekend? Clearly not," Cailin said before she walked inside and saw Jane just as surprised as Maura was.

"Well Angela's been watching her so I thought I'd come home for the weekend and give her a break whilst you work on the case," Cailin said, "I'll take her out for a smoothie, go to the movies, get her to training and maybe bowling. I mean if that's OK." She wasn't saying the real reason of course which was for her to meet Chloe as Jane and Maura didn't know the two were more than just classmates.

"That's fine with me and I'm sure Angela will appreciate the break," Maura smiled before Louisa arrived and squealed and ran to Cailin.

"Are we…?" she asked.

"Yes Belle we are," Cailin smiled, "starting with a sleepover tonight," she said.

The next morning and Angela had arrived to do breakfast before Louisa and Cailin headed out for smoothies and to meet Chloe. Louisa had already said that Cailin would be easier to meet first becase Jane and Maura would turn into overprotective cop mums.

"Thanks for breakfast Angela," Cailin smiled.

"No problem at all," the matriarch smiled, "just make sure you load the dishwasher and set it going before you head out." The two teenagers promised they would before Angela left them alone and the two ate their breakfasts before loading the dishwasher up and putting it on and headed out.

The two headed to the coffee shop where they were meeting Chloe and Louisa went over to her friend and gave her the biggest hug ever before Cailin walked over.

"Chloe meet Cailin Martin, my big sister. Cailin meet Chloe Davis," she smiled and watched as the two shook hands before Cailin went and got the drinks.

"I hope she likes me," Chloe said.

"She will do. She's easier to win around than Maura or Jane. She's not a cop," Louisa said before Cailin arrived back with the drinks.

"Don't tell your parents," Cailin said and the two girls nodded before they began to chat and Louisa just let Chloe and Cailin talk hoping it would go well. She noticed how her friend had been really uneasy at the start and then had begun to relax more as she began to get more confident round the older girl.

The three ended up having their lunch at the café as well before they headed to the ice rink and Louisa told Cailin that she hadn't mentioned that she was a competitive figure skater and Cailin said that she wouldn't say a thing if Louisa didn't want to.

"I'm just nervous that she'll think different of me if she found out," Louisa said.

"If she's a true friend then she won't care about that and she'll accept you. Twirl Girl or not," Cailin said, trying to reassure Louisa that everything would be ok.

They arrived at the rink and it was a public skate session but that didn't bother Louisa as it meant that her cover could be kept and that Cailin wouldn't reveal her figure skating.

The three stepped out onto the ice and Louisa instantly went off on her own and the two sat there and smiled softly watching her before they ventured onto the ice. It wasn't the fact they were scared, it was more the fact they wanted to talk without Louisa around.

"Do you know about what happened with her other friends?" Carlin asked.

"Yes I do and I can also tell that it's affecting her with how she trusts me and I don't really blame her there because I'd feel the same way," Chloe said, "I don't intend on hurting her though, not knowing what she's been through."

"Don't use that as a reason to stay friends with her. She's in a better place now," Cailin said, "she's not great still but she's still better than she was. Training helps…"

"Training…?" Yes Cailin did say a swear word before sighing.

"Louisa is a professional figure skater, junior level," she said, "takes her senior test in a few weeks. Once she's done that she can qualify for the Winter Olympics and then you watch Jane and Maura get protective."

"Why didn't she tell me?" Chloe asked.

"Probably because she thought you'd judge her for being a twirl girl. Louisa's complicated and even I don't understand her properly yet," Cailin said, "but don't let on I told you. Let her come to you. The last thing I need is her thinking I betrayed her trust when I'm the only person she's confident confiding in."

"Your secret is safe with me," Chloe reassured Cailin, "she'll hopefully come to me sooner rather than later about it with her tests coming up."

"Hopefully she does. Now how about we brave the ice? I've been out there with her and can skate," Cailin said.

"I've done a bit," Chloe said before she headed off with Cailin onto the ice.

The two soon found Louisa and discovered her stood talking to her coach, who had decided to call an impromptu session once the private time came again leading to Louisa having to reveal all to Chloe and the girl said she'd stay and watch and support her friend. Louisa smiled and thanked her before she skated off again to use the time wisely before the training session.

Chloe was forced to sign some paperwork but she agreed to do it before settling down to watch Louisa skating. Louisa enjoyed being out on the ice and would be returning to ballet in the lead up to her test but that didn't bother her in the slightest if it would help her to pass the test.

Chloe was amazed at how Louisa was able to perform the twirls and jumps because there was no way that she would ever have been able to and she smiled as her friend gave her a thumbs up and she gave one back before she went to get some food.

Eventually the time came for Chloe to head home and Cailin and Louisa went out for tea.

"She's a good one," Cailin said, "I believe that she will stick around no matter what happens," she said.

"Well she has to survive Jane and Maura and that's not easy considering their jobs," Louisa said.

"Well look at it this way it would be an open and shut case," Cailin smirked causing Louisa to laugh softly before Louisa sighed, "look ill have a word with them and tell them what I think," she said softly resting a hand on the younger girl's arm.

"Thank you Cailin. I love you."

"I love you too Belle. I love you too."
