"I think I fell asleep in the car because the next thing I know I woke up in an office that looked my foster dad's. The next thing I knew the door swung open and I jumped then my foster parents Loretta and Andrew came in and Loretta had bright red eyes which were over run by tears and Andrew had tear stains. Loretta fussed over me and began to see if he had hurt me that's when she noticed the necklace she held onto it and asked where it was from I told her it was from my dad but she insisted I took it of because he was not my dad so I began to scream and cry so Andrew stepped in and picked me up and must have mimed something because she stopped questioning me" Nikita said "That's the last I saw of him but everyone was different the day I went and everything so that's … I just can't Andrew had a restraining order which apparently lasts till I'm 18" Nikita finished explaining and Michael watched her sit up the he took her in his arms and squeezed her so tight.

"Michael can you carry her upstairs because she will not e able to get up them stairs with her ankle and I'm not exactly strong" Amanda asked and Michael nodded and pulled Nikita onto his lap she instantly wrapped her arms around his neck as he made his way to her room.

Finally reaching her room he placed and her on the bed and went to one of her draws and pulled out a big top he had hid there when he slept the other week and launched it at her "Put this on go to sleep and I'll see you tomorrow so we can end our project okay?" Michael asked; meaning it more of a statement.

Michael walked out and stood at the top of the steps allowing Amanda to pass. "Thank you Michael" Amanda simply thanked.

"No problem can you tell Nikita I'll pick her up at eight thirty" Michael inquired. Amanda nodded and Michael went down stairs and let himself out.

Meanwhile Amanda sat on Nikita's bed and applied a new batch of frozen peas on her ankle. "Michael says hell meet you at eight thirty to go to school" Amanda informed. Amanda didn't know what to say she looked at Nikita and saw hurt in her eyes a need to be comforted. She got up and walked out. A few minutes she returned with two birth certificates a picture and a baby scan she laid them out on the bed and sat next to Nikita. "Before I adopted you or even met you I had a baby" Amanda said picking the first birth certificate up and passing it to Nikita. Nikita held the certificate and read it. "I was 28 and I was in a non to serious relationship when I found out I was pregnant the guy announced he was married and he told me to have an abortion I told him I couldn't nor did I want to so he took off." Amanda informed. "When I was twenty three weeks along I went into labour" Amanda said picking up the scan and holding it close eventually passing it to Nikita "Thirty six hours later I had a beautiful baby girl she was premature but she was mine I was so happy. I was holding her the doctors said she was doing well. I named that little girl Reeya" Amanda said chocking back tears. "She died two days later her heart gave out and she wasn't strong enough or big enough for a transplant I had a few pictures taken with her." Amanda said looking through the album at a now little angel. "But then two years later I saw a little girl been taken into a foster home and that's when I followed her this little girl with a blue necklace that reminded me of what Reeya might have been like now. Something attached me to you and I knew when she looked me in the eyes that I was meant to take her home" She said passing the second birth certificate to Nikita.

"This is my birth certificate" Nikita exclaimed.

"Yes and I would never ever regret bringing you home with me If I could do it over I wouldn't change a thing. Nikita you make my life worth living every dad when you run down them stairs and give me a sarcastic answer when I see your big brown eyes and bright white smile I thank every god that I got led to you" Amanda said embracing a tear streaming Nikita.

"I love you mom" Nikita burst out lacing her hand around her mom.

"I love you too Nikita I'll see you tomorrow" Amanda said leaving Nikita to rest.
