A Different Type of Family

Staring At The Past

Captain Roberts came out to see her Officers and they all eyed her and got to their feet. She had ten officers' with her. Jesus was gone for a few days for training. 

"Since Thomas Miller's station is getting a face lift. We have a few of his Officer's for a few weeks at most," she added. "Adams Foster. This is Benjamin Owens Jr. and Charles Owens," she added as Stef nodded. 

Ben and Charlie nodded toward Stef. The blonde nodded back and eyed them. Then Deanna appeared. "Ben. Charlie. You forgot this," Deanna added as they eyed their sack lunches and gave their sister a look. They went to get the offered bags quickly as she smirked at them.

"Well I'm off to Anchor Beach," she added. She had been teaching for five years Math and Science classes. Her two big brothers were cops. No one in their family were cops, but their parents, Ben Sr. and Claire Owens were supportive. But the triplets just figured their bio parents were in law enforcement. They found out they were adopted since they were ten. Now they are 35 years old.

"Are you two ready to go and who was the young lady?" Stef asked not knowing who they were. 

"Our sister. We are triplets," Ben Jr. added. Stef nodded in a small smile.

"I have triplets too," Stef replied. "They are older, but they are also two boys and a girl."

Ben Jr. and Charlie nodded. "You two remind me of one of my work partners."

"Oh. Who?" they asked.

"Jesus Antonio Riviera," Stef added. Deep down, the two men were dumbfounded. Their birth and bio father was Jesus Antonio Riviera. "But was it the same Jesus Antonio Riviera?" they asked themselves. The name alone was common for Hispanic people. They pushed the thought aside and Stef gave them a tour of the station. 

Ben Jr. and Charlie ate lunch and Charlie broke the silence. "Do you think it's him?" he asked.

"Jesus Antonio Riviera?" Ben Jr. asked. "I don't know. Maybe."

"He was still a student when we were babies," Charlie added. "Maybe it's not him."

"Not who?" Stef asked as she walked back in.

"No one," Ben Jr. added as did Charlie. She nodded and Armando walked in.

"Armando this is Ben Jr. and Charles Owens," Stef added. Armando was in shocked. "Could these two be Jesus' first two sons'?" he asked himself.

"Nice to meet you," they both added.

"Likewise. Armando Riviera," he added. The boys' were shocked as they nodded. 

"It has to be him?" Charlie asked. Ben Jr. nodded.

Two weeks later, Jesus came to see new people. They aren't recruits, just on loan. They leave tonight," Mike added as Jesus nodded. Just then, Deanna ran in and gave them a mild glare.

"You forgot your lunch on purpose," she added. They grinned.

"Why do I even bother?" she asked. Jesus eyed this and as she turned around, he was weak at the knees. It was his Princess, his first baby girl. She looked so much like his late wife, Grace.

"Gee thanks mommy dearest," Ben Jr. added.

"Yeah thanks mama," Charlie added. He eyed them as they turned around. Jesus gasped and gaped. The triplets were here and he so wanted to see them and say hi, but he was scared. Deanna left back to Anchor Beach.

Mike eyed Ben Jr. "Can you give this to Jesus?"

"Sure," Ben Jr. added as he took the file to Jesus. "Um, I don't mean to interrupt," Ben Jr. added.
