Y/N's POV

"Lieutenant, you have a visitor... two actually" my assistant said as she suck her head into my office

A sigh left my lips before I gave her the go ahead to let them enter. When I saw who my visitors were, muscles got tense immediately

"I know that look, but we really need your help" She spoke and the little girl clutched on to her arm tightly

"Just so you know I'm speaking to you as a lieutenant not as what we were in the past" I answered and she nodded

"I understand" Noelle answered and I motioned for them to sit down

The whole time the little girl was staring at me. It was like I was looking in a mirror. She was a spitting image of me, crazy curly hair, arched eyebrows, soft dough eyes and the button nose

"Okay, what brings you here?" I asked

"I flew into the country illegally"

'Oh hell nah' I thought at the mess I was being pulled into

"How long ago was this?" I asked

"She's 4 now so about 3 years and 9 months"

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves down before I blew a fit but I couldn't tame my mouth unfortunately

"So what'd you want me to do about this situation, knowing that you faked your death to get away from me. You kept my child away from all these years. If I hadn't shown up to the apartment, would you have told me?" I vented

"I'm sorry, but don't make it look like I didn't love you because I did. I loved you with everything in me but I knew you were gonna propose because I saw the ring from weeks before but I wasn't ready for all of that and then I found out I was pregnant. I did the only thing that made sense to me at the time, I faked my death. The driver of the car was actually my friend from elementary and he helped me to the airport after you left the hospital"

"You could have told me you weren't ready. You put me through so many emotions, when I saw you I was blank"

"Do you still love me?" she asked

"I am in a relationship" I answered and looked at the photo I had framed on my desk with Normani and I in Jamaica for our anniversary trip which caused a smile to make its way to my face

"I know that, I see her all over my page and I hate her for it because I still love you"

"What's her name?" I asked ignoring her last statement and looking at the youngest female in the room

"Cette jolie dame vous demande quel est votre nom (This pretty lady is asking what your name is)" Noelle asked the four year old

She looked up at me and answered "Y/middle/N" and heart clenched at her response

"Y/N please-"

"It's Lieutenant Y/L/N to you" I said correcting Noelle

"I'm sorry Ms. Y/L/N. I really need your help. My now boyfriend is selling drugs in my apartment and he threatened me in front of her that he'll kill me if he got caught by the police. Adding to the fact that the police found out I crossed the borders illegally, I am in deep shit and I really don't want the social workers to take her away. Please I'm begging you, take her in and promise me you won't let anything happen to her"

"That is a lot that you are asking for" I mumbled

"I know but this can be a win win for you. You'll get to bond with her more plus the persons on the most wanted list would be in jail because I know every single one of them and where they are. I will end up behind bars but I rather that than them abusing me all the time. They were this close to doing it to her and I can't stand the thought of it actually happening" she begged
