{name:Luci#|#picture:43}Luci found her boyfriend's street. The ADA grinned as she found the house. She was infamous for getting lost. She looked over her shoulder to check on her napping daughter. Rosita had had a rough night. She slowed down as she carefully pulled into the driveway. She and her boyfriend decided to move in together and the families were meeting today. They had kept the relationship secret so the kids wouldn't worry about their lives getting changed around, in case it just didn't work. But it did and they had agreed to move in so the kids were meeting today and hopefully would get along fine. She parked behind Fin's car, and turned off the engine and got out of the car. She slid the keys into her purse, but left the car unlocked so she could get the desserts she made. She opened the sliding door of the minivan and shook her daughter and spoke in Spanish, "Wake up, darling. We're here." The eleven year old stirred and she opened the trunk and lifted out her daughter's wheelchair. She opened it and put it on the ground and wheeled it over. She put on the brakes and Rosita was waiting, and had unbuckled herself. Luci slid her arms under her daughter's dead legs and her back and lowered her into the wheelchair. Rosita fixed her clothes and buckled her seatbelt as her mother got her backpack and put it on the back of the chair.
Luci spoke in Spanish again as she wheeled her daughter up the driveway, "Remember to speak in English. This isn't home, sweetheart. They don't speak Spanish."
Her daughter kept nodding and she wheeled her up the walk, took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin wondered if Lucy was as nervous as he was. He checked the street one more time to see if Luci's Van was coming.
Do something constructive, he thought to himself, just as he heard Luci's van.
Fin almost ran to the front door and assist Luci in getting Rosita and her wheelchair into the house. He gave Luci a quick kiss on the cheek and turned to yell up the stairs.
"Katie, can ya come down here please?"

{name:Katie#|#picture:32}Luci had been grinning at Fin, her eyes sparkling and kissed him back and Rosita rolled her eyes. Mothers.
Katie came down the stairs, Abby on her hips. Katie hadn't showered and by the looks of her shirt, it was an old shirt of Fin's that she had slept in. Abby on the other hand, was freshly bathed and dressed in a white t-shirt and light blue jumper with pictures from blue clue's on it.
"What?" She snapped. She was not happy about Luci and her daughter becoming apart of their family.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}Fin turned to Katie, as a brief hint of hurt flashed in his eyes.
"Katie, I have two people I would like you to meet." Fin said firmly. "I hope you will make them feel comfortable here."

{name:Katie/Luci#|#picture:32}Katie's eyes narrowed. She ignored Fin and spoke coldly to Luci. "You listen to me, and you listen good. You will never be my mother and you will never be good enough for my dad. He deserves better than you. And that brat of yours is never going to have the twin's room. I'd rather die than have anyone in there!" She put Abby on the floor and said gently, "Stay with Daddy sweetie." She stormed up the stairs, stomping on every step. She stomped all the way into her room and slammed the door hard behind her.
Luci looked over to Fin and sighed. It wasn't the welcome she had been hoping for, but she could understand it. "Want me to talk to her, babe?

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Nah," Fin replied to Luci's guestion. "Katie is still hurtin big time. I had hoped that she had the maturity to realise we don't want to invade her space but add to it. Believe it or not she is usually kind and generous."
Fin reached down and picked up Abby and led Luci and Rosita into the kitchen.
"What would ya like to drink, babe? Fin asked with a sincere smile.

{name:Luci#|#picture:43}She smiled at him as she thought. She would love a glass of wine, but she knew Katie had a drinking problem and figured he didn't have any in the house, and she was trying to get Rosita to eat healthy on her own, and hence setting an example and eating her secret stash of sweets when she was in bed. "I'll have some grape juice if you have it, honey." She said with a smile.
Rosita spoke up. "I got questions for you." She said. "I had a dad. My abuela says he's in Heaven now. What do I call you?" Her dark eyes looked up at Fin.

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Grape juice it is," Fin replied as he reached for the gallon jug in the fride. "Little lady you can call me what ever you feel like ya wanta, Ok?" Fin responded with tenderness. "If ya ain't sure, just call me Fin."

{name:fin#|#picture:2}"Well, that is for them to decide, I guess." Fin replied honestly. "I think they will probably just call her Luci. How does that sound?"

{name:Rosita/Luci#|#picture:43}Mother and daughter both smiled. "I like it." The younger of the women said.
