Sarah had no idea where this was coming from, but it sure wasn't what she wanted.

She loved her grandparents very much. As expected, they always spoiled her growing up, buying her presents that her father and Jenny would always be reluctant to get, taking her on exciting trips and treating her to as much candy and ice-cream as she could stomach. Though they had very little understanding of it, they enjoyed listening to her ideas on engineering and always encouraged her. They were in awe at her creations, no matter how big or small and cheered the loudest for her when they could attend some of her sports events.

Their surprise visit had been a happy surprise, as far as Sarah was concerned, but this morning, she wasn't too sure anymore. She had gotten up early to prepare them a nice breakfast. Flights were always hard on them so she wanted to treat them like they always did her. She even prepared a special, tasty sugar-free meal for her grandfather so he didn't need to worry about his diabetes. They seemed very happy to sit with her, but that was when they broke the news.

They had a one-way ticket for her. If she went with them back to their home, she would be staying.

For good.

Sarah shook her head and protested immediately.

"No."

"Sarah, sweetheart…" Luiza said, but Sarah continued to shake her head.

"I don't want to move again."

"It's a tough thing to do twice in one year," Jim told his granddaughter as he took her hand in his. "But your gramma and I really think it's for the best."

"I want to stay here."

"Sarah, this isn't the ideal place for you," her grandmother stated. "Com o seu pai ido, quem vai cuidar de você?"

"Jenny," Sarah said and pointed to her step-mother, who was over by the coffee maker sipping from her cup, trying hard not to be a part of this conversation, though Sarah had noted a small smirk on Jenny's face, kind of like she was saying ha-ha.

Sarah wasn't blind. As much as she loved her grandparents, she knew they gave Jenny a hard time. Surely, they had discussed this with Jenny the night before. Sarah only hoped she knew her mother well enough to believe that she had insisted this idea was ridiculous. This would at least make the discussion two-against-two, with the advantage belonging to Sarah, whose life would be most effected, and Jenny, who was legally her parent in every sense of the word.

Sarah desperately didn't want to move. It had nothing to do with staying close to her friends, finishing off her Ranger duties, or not wanting a long-distance relationship with Kelly. Sarah wanted to stay because she liked her home. She liked living with Jenny, and while they did butt heads occasionally, Sarah couldn't imagine a better mother.

So as she looked to Jenny, she gave her step-mother a smile. Jenny smiled back, but also signalled to Sarah that she wouldn't escalate this fight by butting in.

Jenny had her back. Now Sarah just needed to convince her grandparents that this idea, unlike their others, was stupid.

"Jenny is not a suitable parent," Luiza said.

"Says who."

"She's a step-mother," Jim said. "She married your father, not you."

"Pretty sure she wrote some vows to me, too," Sarah muttered. "Something along the lines of 'I promise to always love you and take care of you'."

"Yes, as a step-mother."

"As a person," Sarah said and Jenny smirked as she sipped her coffee. It really was a shame Sarah never considered joining the debate club. One more clone really couldn't have been that much more trouble. "Jenny made that promise, no strings attached. Besides, she's been doing a great job without dad."

"Of course you would think that," Luiza said. "Sarah, quando eu era jovem, eu adoraria ter nenhum pai ou mãe ao redor."

"Jenny é mãe."

"Ela é uma amiga," Luiza said. "At the end of the day, she's just some stranger that walked into your life when you were a kid."

"So were you," Sarah looked to her grandparents knowingly and there was a deafening silence from them. Sarah seemed to be waiting for a response as they looked to each other.

"Honey," Jim finally managed to say. "That… it wasn't our fault. And you know we helped your father build his case so he would get custody of you."

"But you were a stranger when we first met," Sarah pointed out. "So if Jenny can't be a parent because she's just a stranger that married dad, who says you can be parents?"

"We're your father's parents."

"She's his wife," Sarah shrugged. "I want to stay with Jenny."

"Sarah, since she's taken over…"

"She didn't 'take over'."

"Sarah, since your father passed away, you've been kidnapped twice! Do you think a fit mother would ever let that happen?"

"Jenny didn't let that happen, and if you're so much better for me, then where were you?" Sarah asked, looking to her grandparents. She hated fighting them, especially when it meant challenging how much they cared for her, but she really, really didn't want to move. Her grandparents couldn't rip her away from her home – from Jenny. "Jenny was right there at the hospital when I needed someone. She was right there in my rescue. You sent a card."

"Honey…"

"Eu não estou me movendo," Sarah said and got up from the table. She stormed out, leaving her grandparents bewildered. They turned around to look at Jenny, who was still sipping her coffee.

"She's spoken," Jenny shrugged.
