Chapter 1

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Stef Foster and Callie Foster were almost like the same people as the only difference between the two is Stef Foster single mother and blonde hair and Callie Foster 4years old and brown hair.

Stef looked to her daughter who was wearing a mini police uniform just like hers even had Foster name tag on it it came with the works as it had a toy gun, toy handcuffs, and everything Stef had on her belt well except for the juice box of course. Callie was always waiting to dress similar to or just just Stef everyday and Stef wasn't complaining about it they only had each other as is Callie only knew of her mommy and that her mommy liked girls but Callie didn't care as long as her mommy was happy.

The only thing Callie didn't know was that she's going to be starting preschool today at Anchor Beach and not going to work with her mommy and Stef knew it was not going to be easy at all. Callie had a separate disorder that happened to show up not to long ago and Stef doesn't know where it comes from but she knows that her little girl was going to have a bad day.

"Officer Bug are we ready to start our day?" Stef asked Callie who looked up at her with the most beautiful smile "Yes officer mommy." Callie replied giggling.

"Then let's go officer bug!" Stef said to Callie as Stef grabbed her things and Callie followed in kind.

At Anchor Beach

"Mommy I don't want to go! I want to go with you! I want to be with you!" Callie cried as Stef pulled her out of her carseat and got her backpack. "Cal bug if you need me at all your teacher Ms. Adams will call me and I will be here as soon as I can. I will be picking you up in 4hours baby it's 8:45 now so I'll be here at 12:45 I promise and then you can tell me all about your day and the new friends you've made.

As Stef looked at Callie she could tell her baby was mad and upset with her and that upset Stef because she hated leaving her daughter after the things that she been through to keep Callie alive in the first place Callie was born with low birth weight at full term Callie was only 4 pounds at birth and didn't start putting on weight till she was 5 months old and at that time Callie was under 4 pounds and just sicker the doctors told Stef that her daughter was not going to make it but her little girl has and Stef was greatful everyday for that.

Stef hugged Callie tightly to her and carried her inside the school looking for room 2B when Stef found it she went to set her baby down but Callie squeezed tighter not willing to let go. "Come on baby you have to go to class baby I will be back I promise." Stef said with that Callie pulled back and looked at her mother with a look of 'yeah right...no!' "Mommy I don't have to go I know my ABC's and my 123's I know how to color I know how to cut in a straight line mommy I don't need to go let go to the station." Callie had responded back Stef knew her daughter was a smart mouth even though she was 4 yrs old it was still a shock. Stef bent down and put Callie on her feet "I don't care if you know that stuff mommy needs you here OK? I'll always be back for you princess." Stef replied

Stef looked up and decided she'd do the one thing that she didn't want to do give her 4yr old a cell phone knowing it may work.

"Here's mommy's spare phone be careful with it and don't lose it." Stef said and when Callie released her for the phone Stef gentle kissed her head and said "I love you my baby girl and I hope you have a good day." And then gently pushed her into the classroom with Callie looking back at her unsure about this idea of her mother's.

And then Stef quickly retreated to get car looking at the school she just forced her baby into going knowing that she didn't want to be there and she felt like a bad parent for it. After Stef cried a bit she started up her car and drove towards work. Knowing this was going to be hell.

At first Callie's day started out bad she kept getting in trouble for talking when not asked, and not wanting to take a nap at naptime which she stated was for babies and she was a big girl she doesn't do naps.

It was the longest four hours of her little life but the last few hours she had after naptime she learned she like Ms. Adams she was very nice and pretty she was very funny too taught Callie things she didn't know like addition Callie wanted to know she likes being ahead of her peers and as it round 12:45 her mommy didn't show up but Callie did not notice till said something about it being 2:45 and her mommy wasn't there and she was the only one left.

"Sweetie do you have someone to come get you? It looks like your mommy forgot to get you." said "No it's just mommy and I. I can call the dispatch for mommy they know me they will find out what happened or mommy's partner will come get me." Callie said with so much pride could see not only by the mini uniform the child wore but the way the child talked about her way of reaching her mommy that they were very close to each other.

"How about I call dispatch and they can remind your mommy and we can play some more?" asked Callie who nodded OK and went back to playing while she left a message with dispatch and then join in with Callie waiting for her mommy to arrive.
