A new life for Sofia

Chapter twenty-three

[POV: Maya]

"Same time next week?" Diane asked. We were in my office, doing another one of my therapy sessions. I'm glad that I choose to let her help me. I feel like I've grown a lot as a person. Therapy has made me a better wife, and a better mom.

"Yes, thank you again, Diane. I'll show you out." I responded.

Upstairs, the rest of the team was having lunch, so I joined them.

"Hey cap, how are the twins? Do you know the gender yet?" Ben asked.

"Everything is going as it should, thanks for asking Ben. And we'll know the gender in about two weeks." I replied

"Who wants to bet?" Vic asked.

The rest of the team began searching for some cash. "Ok, who is team girl?" Jack, Vic and Ben placed were all in favor of team girl. Vic with twenty dollars, Jack and Ben both with ten.

"And who is team boy?" Travis and Cody were in for twenty, and Robert was in for ten. The money was going to be stored in my office.

"I think it's ridiculous that you're going to make money of my babies, but sure."

"What do you think it's gonna be, Maya?" Robert asked.

"I keep switching sides." I laughed. "But lately, I've been feeling like they will be boys."

"I'm so excited to become an aunty again." Vic squealed.

AID CAR NINETEEN, LADDER NINETEEN. STUCK PERSON, 1420 MADISON STREET.

"Let's go nineteen." My captain mode was activated.

[POV: Sofia]

I've really been trying harder at school. I don't get in trouble as much anymore, but I have so much more energy after school now. School is out, and I'm waiting for mama to pick me up. She's a bit late, but Liam said he would hang out with me on the playground, so we played some football together.

After fifteen minutes, I saw mama's Porsche pull up. Liam and I said goodbye to each other and parted our ways.

"I walked over to mama and gave her a big hug.

"I'm so sorry I'm late, bambina. I was stuck at the hospital. But I'm off now. What do you want to do?"

"Can we go to the station? I want to see if Andy is there so she could teach me more about self defense." I asked.

"Certo, piccolina."

I hopped inside the car, and we went to the station.

The team was out on call, but Andy was in her office. As a battalion chief, she could choose where her office was located. She chose nineteen of course.

"Do not disturb her, bambina. How about you get started on your schoolwork? Maybe she can teach you after you're done." Mama suggested.

Vic was also at there, but mom had given her a task before the call, so she was busy.

After I was done, I went to play on the station's piano. I really enjoy making music. Mama requested some songs, and we sang them together.

I could hear the trucks pull into to the station, so I went downstairs to greet everyone.

"Hey everybody, It's Bishop's daughter!" Jack yelled and he ran up to me and threw me in the air.

I said hi to the rest of the guys before I gave mom a hug.

"How are you, bubs?" Mom asked me.

"I'm good. How was the call?"

"Nothing we couldn't handle. Is mama here?" She replied
