Ch.11
Same as always.
Narrative p.o.v.
Setting: precinct
Time: 6:00 p.m.
It was a slow day at the precinct. Our detectives got few calls but they weren't big for a real case. The incident in the park last week had really gotten to Melinda. She couldn't really believe that her daughter had a boyfriend. In her mind Miranda was just a little girl not a teenager. She just hoped that she would be okay and wouldn't get hurt. On the other hand for Olivia she wasn't really surprised by the boy, she always knew that Chloe had someone. It was just the hand of explaining that to Elliot when they got home. But getting to the fact that it was a slow day everyone decided to leave early, with that fin had an easy excuse to go visit Melinda in the morgue.
When he reached the morgue he saw Melinda in her office with a lot off paperwork. "Hey Mel you want to go ahead and go?" Melinda looked up to her fiancé before rubbing her eyes. "Sure fin I can finish these tomorrow." The couple soon left to go to Melinda house to have some time alone. It didn't take very long to reach the house and by the time the two adults were at the door they were in the mood for some fun. "Fin you do know you can't just do it here in front of my house. Wait till we get inside." Once they were inside fin pulled his soon to be wife closer to him.
"Hey mom! I ordered some pizza while you were gone; I'm going to be in my room watching a movie." That killed the mode. The two adults had been so wrapped up in their own frenzy that they forgot that Miranda was in the house. Fin knew that nothing would go on; heck even if they were quite the girl still might walk in on them. "Well looks like that's ruined... want to go look at some things for the wedding?" fin nodded as he followed his love into the living room were some portfolios were on the coffee table.
Time: 10:00 p.m.
After Melinda had gone through some plans for the wedding with the help of fin they were now sitting on the sofa snuggled up watching TV. Fin had decided to stay the night since he already had some clothes here and didn't feel like going home. They were about to get back into something when Miranda came downstairs. "Hey mom I'm going to bed. Oh hey fin" Melinda smiled at her daughter while fin simply replied with a head nod. By the look on the little girls face there was something on her mind. "Sweetie what's wrong?" Miranda stood in front of her parents wondering how to put her words into place. "Well you how you said I could have dog? Well I was walking home today and I saw a really cute one and he followed me home to so I couldn't turn him away. Plus I got all he's shots done and he's really nice. Can I keep him?" Miranda gave her mom a set of puppy dog eyes that no one could resist.
"Well I guess but he's your responsibility. Miranda gave her mom a hug and rushed to get the dog so she could show her mom. From Melinda's perspective she thought the dog was just a puppy and a small dog at that. But it wasn't as soon as Miranda came back with 'skipper' she was dumbfounded. The dog was huge. Sitting down he was only an inch shorter that Miranda who knows how tall he would be on his hind legs. "Mom don't worry ill take care of him and he will be on his best behavior. Melinda simply nodded her head as she watched her daughter and a giant dog go up stairs. Fin pulled her closer to him. "Don't worry Mel. I always wanted a guard dog.
Setting: park
Time: 10:00 a.m.
The family along with Olivia, Elliot and john had decided to go to the park. It had been an eventful day for them, well for Melinda really. She had spent her day looking at churches and other places where they could have the wedding and so far no luck. Since Chloe wasn't there today (forced back to piano practice) Miranda was left to play with skipper. From what Miranda had found out all he really liked to do was chase cats and squirrels. Playing fetch and other games where out of the question unless he was getting a treat. Also skipper was very protective of Miranda and wouldn't think twice of biting someone who got to close.
Right now the adults were sitting underneath a tree while Miranda and skipper where chasing ducks... "Mel don't worry about the wedding, it took me a while to fin a place to hold me and el's." Melinda looked toward Olivia as she leaned back on her hands. "I know liv I just want the place to be special." The conversation went on like that with other comments referring to the wedding, kids, life and other things. Life was pretty good for all of the adults. Munch was in a relationship with a woman who worked at a pub. Olivia and Elliot were thinking about having another child and where happy that Chloe was back.
And Melinda and fin, well they were just happy getting married. Mostly what was on fin's mind was his son ken he hadn't gotten a reply on whether or not he would come to the wedding. As of now their conversation was set on kids when Miranda past by them on her skateboard being pulled by skipper who was chasing a duck. All of them chuckled as they watched the girl go by. "You know Olivia I think one child is enough for right now. At least until I can get over the dating thing." Everyone laughed at this. Elliot has been through many appearances with boyfriends when he was still with Kathy and the kids. Now that he had gone through it again with Chloe he wanted to wait before he had any more kids better yet anymore girls.
