Wedding scenes and afterwards !
1
Callie and her brother, Jude, have been living with the Fosters for awhile. They have grown quite attached to everyone in the family. But while Jude Immediately goes to Lena, Callie is more drawn to Stef, they have a special relationship like no other in the family.
Six months in, Lena and Stef are finally getting married, they made a point to involve all the kids in the wedding. And spoke to everyone separately.
First they asked Mariana to be a bridesmaid, she was so excited to be asked that she had to tell everybody, when she told Callie, the teen acted excited for her but on the inside, she was sad, she knew she had no right to be because she wasn't related to them or the family, she was only temporary. she pushed her feelings down way inside her.
The Moms then asked Brandon and Jesus to be their groomsmen, the boys happily obliged and hugged them.
Jude was going to be the ring barer for the ceremony. The Moms had one more important person to talk to but every time they tried the person always seemed to be so closed off or busy with everything under the sun.
The wedding was only a week away, and the Moms still hadn't spoken to Callie, the girl was avoiding them at all costs. So the Moms went ahead and bought her a dress like Mariana's, they knew her size roughly from the birthday quince, they did get a size smaller than that one because Callie is quite a small girl.
Callie was doing everything she could to keep busy, she did all her homework plus more for extra credit in class, so goes a lot to the library claiming she needs books for the work. At night she takes a bath and makes it extra long, then pretty much goes straight to bed. She tries t stay hidden and out of the way, and it works no one really pays attention to her or notices anything is off.
All except for Stef, who has been watching the girl closely for a while, she can read the girl almost like a book. Stef knows what the problem is. her and Lena have been talking and discussing with the other kids about adopting Callie and Jude. Everyone has agreed and they all planned something special to ask the two newest members of the family.
The wedding day finally arrived and it is super busy, the brides to be spend the night in separate parts of the house and have agreed that they are not going to see each other until the ceremony. Lena is in charge of walking the boys and Stef of the Girls.
Lena's morning was smooth, the boys were are really excited and already up when she went into their rooms, she got ready in the master bed room and then went to sit in the boys room until nearer the time.
Stef got Mariana up and she went to shower before getting dressed. Callie was sitting on her bed yawning when Stef took her arm and lead the way to her and Lena's room. Callie sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her hands in her lap. Stef saw the nervousness and some sadness in the way the teen was sitting.
"All right sweets, your going to go in there and take a shower and then get dressed in what I left for you on the door hanger, I already had a shower and now i'm going to get dressed, so in you go", Stef says pulling the teen from the bed and pushing her in the direction of the bathroom.
Less than half an hour later Callie came out of the bathroom in the beautiful dress that was chosen for her by the Moms.
"You didn't have to get me a dress, I'm just a guest and could've worn anything", mumbled Callie.
We wanted you to have something new for the occasion, considering your not a guest at our wedding".
"Why something new, if I'm not even going?", whispered Callie.
"Callie love, your not just a guest at our wedding, your role is way more important than that honey", Stef told her.
Callie was now sitting on the bed again looking at her hands folded in her lap, Stef knows the teen isn't going to say anymore so she stands directly in front of the girl and lifts her chin up with her finger.
"You my love are one of our two beautiful bridesmaids, Mariana is standing next to Lena with Jesus and Brandon is on my side but I'm missing one important person and that's you my love, I need my Callie girl standing right next to me", Stef tells Callie lovingly.
The teen nods a little and Stef can see she is trying to keep up her facade and not cry. The pair add a little make up but not too much because neither one wears that much. Stef heads downstairs first and Callie takes a minute to herself, she is honoured that Stef wants her at her side while she gets married, but Callie can't stop thinking that this in only temporary she and Jude are not really apart of this family and she wishes they were. Jude had suggested that they ask Stef and Lena to be adopted but Callie sadly reminded him that the two woman are the ones who said it was only temporary until Bill finds them a forever home. That thought makes her incredibly sad but she pushes through it and heads downstairs because she doesn't want to ruin the happy day. In the back yard, the guests had taken their seats. Lena's dad, Stewart had taken his spot at the alter, the women asked him to perform the ceremony.
Callie and Mariana walk down the aisle together each holding a small bouquet of flowers, they each stand on one side of the canopy. Next Stef comes down the aisle on Brandon's arm and they stand on either side of Callie, Stef closest to Stewart. And last but not least comes Lena on Jesus's arm, and they stand on either side of Mariana, with Lena also closed to her dad. Jude then comes over and in the middle of the aisle kind of between Brandon and Jesus.
The ceremony starts, the brides say their own written vows and Jude gives each one their rings.
They say I Do and place each others ring on their ring finger. and the ceremony ends with the long awaited first kiss as Wife's. Everyone claps and the ceremony is supposed to be finished. Callie grabs Jude's hand and the two start to walk away back into the house.
"The ceremony has one more part, Callie and Jude could you come back over", the Jacobs siblings turn around and see everyone in the family smiling at them. This just makes the siblings even more nervous and a bit scared. They go back over to the alter.
"Callie and Jude, Bill is happy to announce that he has found a forever family for you, you will be adopted", Stewart says. Callie looks down at Jude who is looking up at her too.
Callie bends down to Jude and kisses his forehead, she whispers in his ear and stands up properly, without looking at anyone, she turns around and runs into the house.
"She just needs a minute, I don't think she feels well, but can you tell me who wants to adopt us?", asks Jude.
"Buddy it's us, we want to adopt you, we've fallen in love with you and your sister, we can't imagine life and this family without you both in it with us. Would you like that and are you Ok with it?", Lena asks Jude crouching down in front of him.
"Are you kidding I would love that, I love this family so much and can't wait to have two Moms, two brothers and another sister", says Jude happily Lena.
"Judicorn you already have us all, your our brother we don't need a piece of paper to say otherwise", Mariana says hugging Jude too.
Stef joined in the family group hug but kept thinking about the person missing. Once leaving the hug, she went in search of her seen to be daughter. After checking the kitchen, living room and the girl's room. Stef finally heard something coming from the bathroom, she heard Callie and she was being sick into the toilet. After knocking she opens the door and sees Callie kneeling by the toilet and retching into it.
"Callie honey your Ok love, how are you feeling?" Stef asks the teen while kneeling beside her. Callie all of a sudden collapses into Stef's arms on the floor crying. Stef just holds the young teen in her arms. Letting her cry it out, she is glad she pulled the door shut so could have some privacy. Soon enough though Callie is having trouble breathing because she hasn't stopped crying.
"Callie girl I need you to calm down, try breathing with me, slowly in and out, that's it copy me, I'm lot leaving you sweets, not ever", Stef murmurs to the calming teen. she pulls her back into her arms tightly and they sit back.
"Please don't be mad or hate me, but I don't want to be adopted by some family, I know this is only temporary but i can get a job to help pay for Jude and I, he loves it here", Callie whispers when she feels more confident to say it.
"You don't want to be adopted?, but what if they were a really nice couple who love you and the two of you would have 3 more siblings?", Stef asks gently.
"N-no but how d-do you kn-ow that they will love us, nobody is ever going to love me and how do you know it's three siblings, did Bill tell you?" Callie asks semi suspicious at the older woman.
"First off I know who the family is, second please don't say things like that you are so lovable people have to be blind and stupid not to love you and your brother and third we're the ones who want to adopt you guys, we love you both so much, we called Bill a few weeks ago and he started the paperwork for us. We want you in our family Callie girl, we've only been together for about 6 months but we all love you so much, me and Lena, Brandon, Jesus and Mariana and not to mention my Mom and Lena's parents, we all love and want you. your not disposable", Stef tells the teen sternly but with so much love.
Callie struggling with her emotions can't think of what to say, so she just falls back into the older woman's arms, eventually she whispers "Thank You".
Stef just sits there holding the girl she thinks of as her daughter in her arms for as long as she needs, which turns into nearly an hour.
"You should be with your wife right now dancing at your wedding, come on", Callie says getting up and washing her face. Stef gets up and follows Callie out of the bathroom, feeling a bit stumped at the sudden change in the young teen. They go back outside and find everyone dancing, after joining in however Jude grabs Callie's hand and drags her inside. They sit on the couch.
"Are you Ok Callie, you've been crying I can tell", Jude asks gently.
"I'm fine Buddy, I just got a little upset when Stewart said that Bill had found us a forever home. I know I always say don't get attached to a family or their home, but I have and don't wanna leave, so when I heard that I had to be sick, i was so sad". Callie tells Jude.
"It's this family that want to adopt us isn't that great, now we don't have to leave because I got attached to them too Callie, It's not a bad thing", Jude promised his big sister.
"I'm happy we get to stay, I really am, it's just I don't know if they'll still want me when they really find out how screwed up I am and all the things that have happened to me ", Callie admits to her brother,
"Of course they will, they love us Callie and anyway those things weren't your fault they were either mine and the horrible foster parents or siblings, you didn't deserve any of it", Jude tells his sister lovingly. None of the kids noticed that Stef was listening to the last bit of their conversation. She didn't mean to listen to the siblings, but what she heard them say broke her heart.
Back outside everyone is dancing, Callie and Jude have rejoined the group and everyone is having a great time. Stef can still see that Callie is a little distressed but decides to talk to the young teen later at bed time.
Once all the guests have left the family rallies around to tidy up a little bit so it wouldn't be so full on the next day, after the initial clean up everyone is more or less ready to fall asleep standing up, the Moms send every one upstairs to get ready for bed. When Stef comes to say goodnight to the kids, she finds everyone in their beds except for Callie, after tucking Mariana in bed. She goes in search of her daughter. The very first place Stef looks is outside the front door where she sees Callie sitting quietly on the porch swing, she looks up when she hears a noise.
"Sweets I think we need to have a talk, your not in trouble and it's not bad but I think you need to hear", Stef Tells Callie as she gently sits down next to the girl.
Callie sits looking at her hands until another pair clasps them and gives them a squeeze.
"Listen love, I know that there is a lot about you that I don't know, I mean come on I missed the first thirteen years of my little girls life, I have a lot of catching up to do. I want to know everything about you, every little piece of what makes you the amazing girl sitting next to me right now. I know I don't know what you've been through, but I really do want to know, I want to know about the things my daughter has been through, the good things and the bad things. I want you to take as much time as you need, you feel like sharing something, I will always be there to listen to anything you want to share with me and I will feel thankful that you trust me enough to share those things with me. And to top it off, I promise to share more about myself, I didn't have the best childhood either and I will share the good and bad things too. Just because we will be sharing everything with each other doesn't mean we will feel any different about each other. When you tell me about your past I will still be here loving you the exact same as i always have and always will, nothing will change. And I know that you won't treat me any differently when you find out about my less than stellar life", Stef takes a deep breath and sits back a bit after her long monologue.
"Do you really promise to still love me and Jude, when you know about everything from our pasts, I really want to tell you but it might be while until I'm ready", Callie says just above a whisper.
"Yes honey, I promise with all of my heart and I can wait, whenever your ready, take it at your own pace", Stef says pulling the girl into a big hug.
They sit outside enjoying their hug, and then Stef tucks the young teen into her bed for the night and she falls asleep pretty quickly. Stef leaves the room with tears in her eyes and goes to her and her new wife's room so they can enjoy their first married night together.
That was number 1, I hope it was Ok, this only my second Fanfic and hope you like. There of course will be more Stef and Callie one shots, they are my favourite characters in the show, I just love their relationship so much.
