Norma and Alex grow up together but when they go their separate ways, will they go back to each other? Will they still be important to each other?

Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Set somewhere in season three but it's loosely following the plot. A lot less Norman and a lot more Normero smut <3

Elizabeth Bates was the sunshine that White Pine Bay needed desperately, despite being the daughter of the intimidating Norma Bates and the step daughter of Sheriff Alex Romero. When Norman left for Pine View, she was happy. She had a family, a good one this time. Her mother was happy, and her new father was never violent. And if he was for his important cop business, he was never violent around his girls. When Norman called Norma one day, informing her that he was planning on going home, things changed. Not the good change this time, the kind of change that only appeared in Ellie's worst nightmares.
