Secrets of the Past

Three weeks had passed and Kenzie felt good. She was being released from the hospital today. Adam had been released a week before her and she was anxious to get home.

"Hey," A voice said and Stella walked into the room with Madison and Mckayla. It was a strange sight but one Kenzie Storm had grown relatively comfortable with. Especially since Kenzie began to sense maybe a little romance between her boss/father and his second-in-command.

"What's up?" Kenzie asked looking at them as she stood there in normal clothes for the first time in weeks. It felt great.

"Adam told me to apologize for him… dad's got him working. Says he needs to work for his paycheck, whatever that means," Kay said rolling her eyes which had way to much mascara on them and her make up was way too dark.

"You know, you shouldn't hide your face behind so much make-up," Kenzie said as she stepped towards Kay with something to wipe it off with. Kay hid behind Stella who laughed at the antics.

"No way, you get away from me with that thing or you'll be staying in here longer," Kay threatened.

"You guys heard that right?" Kenzie asked looking at the others. They nodded. "Good, so I have witnesses since that was a threat against a police officer."

"You are such a spoil sport," Kay said before sticking her tongue out at her indignantly.

"Very mature," Madison said, trying to act all grown up and mature but she was falling slightly short of the line. Her face was stern and somber but her eyes were filled with laughter.

"I know," Kay said with that sickly innocent voice she did that caused a smile to appear on Maddie's face while they just laughed. Just then Mac came around the corner with a wheelchair in hand.

"What's going on in here?" Mac asked and Stella looked at Kay. He held up his hands.

"Second thought, I don't want to know," he said and Kenzie smiled. She had to give the old man, he was learning. When the three of them got together it tended to get a little crazy. He hadn't seen them around alcohol either… then again, they'd probably have to avoid him when that came out. He was a cop after all and they were underage.

She didn't want to push it since he was still a cop at heart even if he was now their dad.

"Trust me, Kay's being immature again so nothing new," Kenzie stated and he smiled.

"You three are very different, how in the world did you come from the same egg?" he asked and they all shrugged in unison.

"Trust me, you don't want to think about it. It'll give you a migraine if you do," Kenzie stated before looking at them all. "I'm science, Maddy is business, and Kay is the streets. Definitely different. Mix in you – the marine and this is one messed up family."

He nodded chuckling slightly. Then he pointed at her before pointing at the wheelchair. She sighed. If she ever wanted to go home she'd have to concede just this once. With that in mind she crawled in and he pushed her out the door and through the hospital.

Once outside she got into Mac's hummer and she noticed he smiled at her tapping fingers. She sighed and crossed her arms. She'd already been cleared for work which she could return to in a month. Life was pretty good. David was about to start school, she was heading back to a job she loved, her sisters promised to visit more often – especially now that they had a dad.

She glanced out of the window as they pulled away. She felt herself smile a small little smile. Her eyes glanced up at that perfectly blue New York sky and she knew no matter what happened, everything that happened from then on, she'd have people to back her up. She had two dysfunctional sisters, a sweet little boy, a cute and caring boyfriend, and a dad who'd kick any guys ass who hurt her.

Yeah, life was good.

With those thoughts she turned forward and they drove off to her apartment where her son waited for her with the nanny.
