The Other Reagan Girl

Chapter 7- Fresh New Start- Last Chapter

The two of them walked inside, Frank and Henry were sitting waiting for them, Holly looked at them "Hi grandpa" Frank hugged his granddaughter "hey sweetheart" Henry noticed that Holly seemed almost back to her old self and that reason was because she had been spending time with Jamie.

Holly sat on the stairs looking over some family pictures; she found some very funny ones she was doing to use to blackmail her uncles and aunt. The men saw that Holly was safe and happy on the stairs so they started their conversation.

Frank looked at Jamie "I wanted to honour Joe's last wishes by having custody of Holly but we can tell from the past 6 days that she's back to her normal self. I think it would be in Holly's best interest if you were to have guardianship of her"

Jamie was speechless "yo you want me to have custody of Holly, but she loves being around you guys" Henry looked over at Holly "She seems happy again Jamie, I haven't seen that girl smile since Joe died" Jamie looked over at Holly as well, she was laughing at some photo's, Jamie smiled at the sight he saw.

Jamie turned back to face his father and grandpa "bu but I'm not a father like you guys or Danny. I might mess it up" Frank and Henry laughed "we all mess up Jamie, it's how we learn, don't you think Danny's messed up, I know I did with all four of you kids" Jamie was shocked by his dad's remark.

Henry placed his hand on Jamie's shoulder "She needs a father figure Jamie, someone to guide her along the way." Jamie looked again at Holly, she was holding a photo in her hand, it must have been of Joe, and "Do you think he'd forgive you if you gave custody of her to me?" Frank smiled "I think Joe would want Holly to be happy, and she's happy with you Jamie"

Frank slide over the papers to him "I was hoping this would happen that Holly would become happy again, so I had the court draw up these custody papers, ready to be signed when you are ready to sign them son"

Jamie smiled "always one step ahead aren't you dad" Frank smiled "of course I wouldn't be the PC if I wasn't" Jamie looked at the papers then walked over to Holly, he didn't care if she was only nine, he wanted to explain to her what was going on and see if it was okay with her before he signed any legal documents.

Jamie sat down beside her "Holly I need to ask you something" Holly looked at him "how would you feel if you lived with me instead of Grandpa?" Holly looked over at Frank and Henry they were both smiling "Won't grandpa be upset" Frank heard her "No sweetie, I want you to be happy and you seem happy with Uncle Jamie" Holly nodded; Jamie looked at her "Would that be okay with you Holly?" Holly nodded again "yes"

Jamie stood up and led Holly over to the table; he sat down and sat Holly on his lap. Jamie signed the custody papers "I'm glad that everyone is happy with this agreement, I know Joe would be happy to see his little girl happy"

Holly got off Jamie's lap and hugged Frank "I love you Grandpa" Frank hugged her back "I love you too Holly and I always will" Holly hugged Henry and said the same thing to him "we will always be here for you Holly"

Jamie saw something in her pocket "what you got there Hols?" Holly started to giggle "a photo of Uncle Danny when he was younger" the four of them laughed, they all knew she was going to use the photo against Danny one day.

Jamie hugged her "you got some pictures to go in your memory box" Holly nodded. Frank placed an empty necklace chain on the table "hand me your dad's badge Holly" Holly hesitated but she handed it to him. Frank placed Joes badge on the necklace then placed it around her neck "now you can be just like my other officers"

Holly smiled "Look Uncle Jamie" Jamie got his out from under his sweater "oh look snap" Holly giggled. Jamie loved it that she was back to her bubbly self again "so is it Officer Holly Reagan now" Holly shook her head "No I'm just the other Reagan girl"
