Warning, long review!
I love this story so far. That's the bottom line. This chapter was incredibly cathartic, and I wish I saw more of this in the real world.
The social worker in me is aghast with how Becca's case is being handled. She's already stressed over the diamonds and being in trouble, etc. So any 'family business' of reunification would be premature and would generally be shelved until she's been thoroughly reassured on several other fronts. She hasn't seen her father in three years. She's been told her father is 'gone' among other things; that's a lot to unpack right there.
Without a third party, such as a licensed clinical social worker, fully learning what exactly Becca has been trained to believe, everyone involved here is basically going in guns blazing and making all kinds of unilateral and split-second decisions in the reunification process.
Having strange and untrained people (it doesn't matter if they're nice, and it doesn't matter if they look related) try to force her to reveal her real name before she's ready and THEN springing a call with her dad on her and THEN prying a 'hi' from her is terribly inappropriate in the real world. It could lead to all kinds of unexpected consequences that could backfire in spectacular fashion.
I guess the caveat to that is that specific protocols might vary by state and country. But reunions of separated children with their families are usually handled over a much longer period of time and with a great deal of planning, coaching of all parties, and care. Hell, even adults put through longer separations and trauma go through an extensive process before reunification.
Bowe Bergdahl is an extreme example, since he was held by terrorists and there was a literal war going on, but he was held for five years as a young adult. He was old enough at the start of his captivity that there was no way he'd truly block out his real name in five years, or even longer. When he was recovered, he wasn't reunited with his parents until after he was put through an incredibly extensive process.
To be fair, a lot of that would have been debriefings, etc., but the trauma counseling would have been a long process, too. As it was, he apparently spent a lot of time refusing to acknowledge people who tried to address him by his promoted rank, and would only accept his old rank that he had had before capture. Trying to get 'Kasey' to switch back to Becca so soon, and without breaking things down with her first could pile on additional trauma.
Having said all this, this is fan fiction, so I love it. Even when everything is done according to plan, real people are complex and things still break down, which is heartbreaking. This scene is like my personal pipe dream scenario of not needing procedures for fear of anything going wrong during the process of reunification.

Great story chock full of Danny whump!

Another gem with amazing back story, wonderful original characters, humor and Danny whump. A girl can't ask for more.

Loved this story. Becca was/is such a brave little girl. And now Grace has a new friend. And they all are a new family.

Can I just say that you are one of my favorite authors on this site?! I didn't want the story to end. I really enjoyed your references to your story about Mrs. Hoppy which made me giggle. I hope that you keep writing and look forward to reading and rereading all of your stories. Thank you for making my day despite a raging migraine!

Loved the reference to your story about Mrs. Hoppy which I have read and laughed my head off about.

Amazing. I laughed. I sighed. I raged. (I'm back to giggling)

Well done!

Awww...

Bravo Again!

At least by the end he stopped being mean to the kid ! Its kind of out of character

Wonderful story, I loved it.

This is an awesome story!

I love this story! Hope there's more!

As usual, you have done an excellent job with this story. I enjoyed every word. Lol Finster is a good name. I think Finster and Mrs. Hoppy should make an appearance in another story...hint hint.

Excellent story, right up to and including the ending! This was a unique storyline and really well thought out and executed. I'm always sorry when your stories end, Irene Claire! But we' e got 2 1/2 months until the new season - plenty of time for another story, right? (hint, hint!)
