{name:Fin#|#picture:2}"Nah, she ain't my daughter," Fin replied to Lily. "She is a girl that I have helped over the last few years and grew fond of. She is clean and now raising her daughter well. She and Jean's brother Scott are raising the little lady themselves. They met and it was obvious they were meant for each other."
Fin looked over his shoulder when he heard Katie say the school might work for her.
"Damn straight." Fin responded. "It will work."

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie rolled her eyes, but she was smiling. "Do I have any choice in the matter?"

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Not an option, little girl," Fin grinned. " We gotta get ya ready to raise Abby. This school can work. I'm gonna see it work for you. I need ya to find your birth certificate and Abby's. We see the Dean of students tommorrow. I got us an appointment at 11am. Ya, I know." Fin responded with another grin to Katie's shocked look. I made it without tellin ya. Get over it."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"OK ladies," Fin replied while getting between them. "Let's withdraw the claws for tonight. I ain't got time for this. Lily, I'll handle Katie. I'm gonna keep her safe. Ya might mean well but ya gotta let me take the lead here. 'Nuff said. Katie, I'm in charge here , it's your home. Ya don't hafta be on the defensive.. Go take Abby and give her a bath and get her ready for bed."
Fin was worried the ongoing tension and sparing between Lily and Katie could erupt in to full fledged hostility. It wasn't gonna happen in his house not now or ever.
"Ladies, can we call it a night?" Fin asked of Lily and Jean. "I wanta get my girls settled in for the night."

{name:Kate#|#picture:32}Katie picked up Abby and held her, but didn't follow Fin's orders yet. She walked over to Lily, so she was right in front of her. "Scared? You listen to me, and you listen good. I've been so scared so often I don't really feel scared anymore. Don't pretend to know me." She put Abby down and rolled her sleeves up, showing Lily her arms covered in scars. She held out one particulary bad wrist. "Ever had your skin burned off you because you asked for a drink of water? Ever been tied down to a bed, minimum food and water for weeks on end?" By now her voice was shaking with rage and hate and hurt. "Ever get so hungry, you mind yourself, do what they say, so you get to eat? And when you fnally get a chance at a meal, they give it to the dogs? Ever be so hungry, you grab it from the dogs, and get bit for your trouble, and they make you throw it up? No. The worst that's happened to you? Maybe a dead boyfriend. Don't tell me about scared. I know scared damn f**k**g well." She picked up Abby again and said, "And that was only one of the bad homes. Wanna hear about how one mother broke my arm because I stopped beliving in God? How her boyfriend was sleeping with me, how she shot me? You couldn't handle it. You'd be throwing up."
She turned on her heel and took Abby into the bathroom, leaving the door open so she could eavesdrop. She ran the water and once it was the right temperture, she let it fill the tub a few inches, and undressed Abby and put her in the tub, washing her dark skin.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin let Katie have her say. She deserved that much if not more. After Katie left to give Abby a bath, Fin spoke his mind.
"In my house, we don't get in each others faces. We don't overstep our boundaries. YA GOT IT! Fin spoke loudly. "Lily, ya have suffered but so has this little girl. I need help in getting her settled in. I can only tell ya that ya either need to get in, get out or get outta the way. Jean, I hope ya understand that right now, it's all about Katie."
Fin grabbed the last glass of merlot and downed it. It wasn't his usual behavior but he felt he was on a slippery slope and barely hanging on.

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Katie had been listening carefully, a little tense, worried that Fin would yell at her for yelling at Lily. A grim smile came across her face when she heard Fin yelling at Lily. Fin had her back, and that got her respect even more than he had.
Fin was so cool.

{name:Jean#|#picture:19}Sitting stock still in her seat, Jean listened to the whole tension filled spar, her back to the group. As Katie stormed past, Jean turned gently in her chair, and then nodded at what Fin said.
"Sure, Fin. Let us know if ya need anything." She said, pulling herself up from her chair.
"If Katie has trouble with the birth certificates, I know a friend that can get her new ones. You know, copies of her old one. Just let us know." She finished, as she reached for her jacket.
"Wanna lift Lil'?" She asked, trying to gauge Lily's reaction to Katie's words, and Fin's sum up.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Thanks, Jean." Fin replied. "If we have any trouble with those documents, ya can bet, I'll be callin ya quick. Lily, no hard feelings? I'm gonna do all I can to turn Katie around and that comes first."
