The Window:
The Adams-Foster was household quite as the cluster of kids sit on the couch as their moms stand in front of them as the wait for one of their teens to open their mouth. The moms just came back from their baby moon, the window just broke and they want answers. Before they came back Stef had suspected something was going down at the household.
Lena sighs knowing that the kids weren't going to speak unless someone was called out. " River " The second oldest Adams-Foster child looks up, the teen speaks up " You see, the thing is, I wasn't home last night. But I do know something that might help figure out what happen " River said as the other 5 teens looked her way.
" I know that you have 5 other kids who were home " She said jokingly. Stef threw her a look and pointing toward the staircase said " Go upstairs, knuckle head "
Walking up the stairs, River sent a cheeky smile toward her siblings before making it to the top step so she could still listen to the interrogation. Returning their attention back to the other 5, the moms wait for them to confess.
Being the honest person she is, Callie brings the truth to life. " After you guys left, we kinda…sorta had a get together with a few friends " Brandon scoffs at his sisters choice of words. " A few? more like the twins telling everyone at school to come to our house for a party " he says.
" Seriously? Don't put all of this on us when your stupid band performed " Mariana argues. " and last time I checked you were the one who told moms nothing was going on " Jesus says backing up his twin. Callie ughs looking at her moms, " I didn't party, I was more like the party pooper. Wyatt was even here, we were blocking off certain sections of the house so people wouldn't damage things " she says defending herself.
Jude, being the sweet judicorn he is, just sits and listens to his older siblings argue about who's to blame. Stef not being able to stand the arguing anymore and Lena exhausted from it too sits and let's her wife handle it.
" Guys! Okay! That's enough… " Stef exclaims to get the bunch to quiet down. " So, this is what's going to happen. Jesus, Mariana you're both grounded one week. No after school activities, I want both at school and back. Brandon you're grounded for 4 days, same goes for you. Callie you're off the hook this time but if that happens again and we don't find out right away, you'll get the same punishment. And my young friend, Jude, I know you had nothing to do with this so you're good too. "
Wanting to argue against the punishment they received, Brandon and the twins decide to stay quiet in fear of the consequences. While Callie sighs happily knowing she didn't get in trouble. River, listening from the top of the stairs, let's out a laugh as she listens to her parents ground her brothers and sister. Everyone in the living room hears her laugh, Lena gets up and peeks at the top of the stairs. Meeting eyes with her Mama, River quickly grabs the closest thing near and looks at it as if she never heard anything. Lena returns her attention back to her other children as Stef releases them to go to their rooms.
" You guys are free to go " Stef says dismissing them. As all the kids go upstairs, the couple stares at the open space on their house that use to have a window.
Jokingly, Stef speaks " I guess I'll go google a window repairer ". " Good idea babe " Lena says grabbing her wives hand walking toward their family office.
