I've been obsessed with Mamma Mia recently and I wanted to write this.
Timing: Before Apollo Justice (During Phoenix's disbarment) and Dual Destinies
-----------------------
"Mummy, when are you going to tell me who my daddy is?" I heard a little five-year-old voice ask. I turned around at my daughter's voice and picked her up, "Now, Lily. I'll tell you that when the time comes okay?"
"Okay," she replied. I walked into her room and put her to bed. Why? Why did I have to be so stupid?!
------------------After Dual Destinies
"Mum, are you okay?"
"Yep! I'm fine, sweetie. There's no need to worry about me. Was there something you wanted to talk about?"
"Yes, when will I get to know who my dad is?"
I froze up, "Sweetie, please. I can't do this now. I need to look over this evidence."
"Okay," she replied going to sit back on the sofa. I felt bad about it. I truly did. But how was I supposed to tell her something I didn't know myself.
"(Y/n)? (Y/n) are you in there?" I heard from outside my office door.
"Come in," I replied. I needed a break anyway. The door opened to reveal Franziska, one of my long tome friends, "Oh hey, Franny. How are you?"
"I'm good. Except that fool has done something foolish!"
"Franny, you call everyone a fool. Who do you mean?"
"Phoenix Wright! That fool! He's just beaten me in another case!"
"Well, Franny. You should be used to it by now. I know I've had my fair share of defeats from him."
She walked over to the sofa I had in my office, "Hello, Lily."
"Hello, Miss Franziska. It's good to see you again."
"Likewise."
"Franny why did you come?"
"I want to talk to you, (Y/n). I know you'e been stressed lately, why?"
"Franny, I can't do this no-" I was cut off by another knock on the door, "Come in." This time the door opened to reveal Ema, "Detective Skye! What can I do for you?"
"The autopsy update you ordered has been completed. Here," she walked over and handed me the report. I took it from her, "Thank you." She nodded before leaving my office again. I then remembered something, "Detective Skye!"
She popped her head back into my office, "Yes?"
"Would you mind looking after Lily for a few minutes? I need to talk to Franziska about something."
"Yes Ma'am!" Lily stood up from the sofa and followed Ema out of my office. I breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to Franziska, "Finally. Franny I really need to talk to you about something."
"You know you can tell me anything, (Y/n)."
I placed the autopsy report down on my desk and sat next to her on the sofa, "I don't know what to do anymore!"
"(Y/n), what's this all about? What do you mean?"
"Lily. She's been asking me more and more about her father and I keep having to find excuses. I mean how am I supposed to tell her something that I don't know myself!?"
"What do you mean? I thought you knew who her father was."
"Well, there was another guy around the same time, though and I don't know which one is her father! I can't even look at her appearance because she's a spitting image of me!" I broke down.
