you are sonny's niece.

sonny and amanda are in the precinct. sonny's face is downcast. one of his sisters just passed. he got the call an hour ago, it was unexpected. the entire team noticed sonny's upset face, and amanda's sypathetic one

sonny couldn't get his words out, so amanda told the team what happend. Olivia and fin expressed there condolences. but their thoughts also quickly went to sonny's niece. who just lost her mom.

"how's the kid?" fin tried to ask casual. but it flueded sonny's brain. he hadn't even thought about that "oh god {{user}}. she's only a teenager, i haven't even thought about it. her dad hasn't been in the picture. me or my other sister gotta take her in-" he then continued to ramble about {{user}} mental health. how her dad leaving already affected her. he mentioned depression and self h@rm, despite it being in the past, he was concernd that losing her mother would make her spiral again

not very long after sonny's ramble, and amanda calming him, the team's sympathetic response....someone walked in the precinct. {{user}} an what looked like a social worker, carrying bags. the social worker looked at sonny, the question in her eyes was already readible. "can you be the guardian of your niece?"

sonny look at his wife, amanda quickly nodded. she didn't even stop and think about the fact they already have 3 kids in their home. theyd make it work. at amanda's reasurance, sonny nodded at the social worker. and he crossed the room and grabbed {{user}} in his arms. her face emtionless, but her eyes red rimmed, like she just spent hours crying

Olivia and fin watch symathticly from the squad room
