A/N: Hey, I'm here with my first Fosters fic, well really a collection of one-shots. I decided to make this collection just because I'm a huge huge fan of the Fosters. In it, I'll take prompts centered around the Adams-Fosters and any other characters. This first one-shot came out of two things really, kind of a reaction to Monday's episode, not that kind of girl, and also out of a desire to see Jesus act more like a caring brother towards Jude. I can't help thinking that every time Jesus and Jude are in a scene together he's yelling at Jude to get out of the bedroom or the bathroom. This is kind of my effort to remedy that. It was originally supposed to be mainly a Jonnor ficlet, but I think this works too.

Floodgates

I told my dad I'm gay.

Jude stared at his phone for what seemed like an eternity. Connor had come out to his dad. It was crazy. Then it set in, the anger and the truth of the matter. Connor's dad had lied. He'd tried to turn him against Connor by making Jude think he blamed him.

R u ok? Jude texted him back biting his lip. The worry of the impending reply caused his hands to shake, the cell phone balancing precariously between his palms.

No then another message. I have 2 go.

Jude inhaled. If this had been a regular conversation where they were talking instead of texting, this is the part where he'd hear the click. There was no click, no silent phone line, but there might as well have been. All the excitement he had felt at getting the chance to talk to Connor deflated like a cheap balloon, replaced by worry.

"Hey Jude," he looked up to see Lena. "Dinner's going to be ready soon sweetheart." She looked at her son's hands still trembling, saw the overflow in his eyes, all this in the millisecond before he could hide it with rapid blinking and a smile.

"Yeah, ok."

Lena's face crumpled and in four long strides she was sitting on Jude's bed wrapping him in a hug. "I know you had a rough day today. If you want to talk, we're here to listen."

Jude nodded pasting a smile on his face. "I know."

Lena kissed him on the forehead before standing up and turning to leave the room as Brandon and Jesus were walking in.

Jude sat up as he saw the look of pure shellshock on Brandon's face. "How was the driving lesson?"

Jesus smirked. "I'm a natural."

Jude looked from Jesus to Brandon who was shaking his head. "A natural wreck magnet maybe." Brandon murmured.

"Hey," Jesus scoffed. "I wasn't the one who turned it into a therapy session."

Jude was holding back laughter at this point as Brandon shoved Jesus onto the bed.

"So, how was your day little bro?" Jesus said. "Moms read you the riot act yet?"

Jude's eyes wandered down to the cell phone in his hand as he shook his head. "Callie did." Somehow it just came out and once the floodgates were opened, he found himself telling Brandon and Jesus everything: the sneaking out, venting about Callie, Connor's dad and the ban leaving out Connor's coming out. That was something that he wouldn't share. It wasn't his to share.

When he was done, he found himself searching his brothers' faces looking for any reaction. Brandon was silent sitting himself on the bed next to Jude and offering a hand. Jesus was the first to speak.

"Are you ok?" The younger teen was uncharacteristically serious.

Jude shook his head.

"Have you talked to Connor in school or anything?" Brandon asked. "I mean Mr. Stevens doesn't stalk around Anchor Beach. I'm sure you could talk to him there."

Jude sighed. "Taylor slipped him her phone at the hospital. He just texted me…" Jude felt the tears coming. "He… he came out to his Dad, and I don't know what's going to happen now. What if he hurts him?" The secret he told himself he wouldn't tell came out anyway, and now that it was out in the open, he felt some pressure lift.

"Jude," Brandon squeezed his brother's hand. "Do you think you can tell Moms what you told us?"

Jude started to nod then shook his head. "He… Connor told me and I don't think he wants anyone else to know… about his dad I mean. It'll just make it worse for him."

"It'll be worse if no one tries to help." Jesus said. "Trust me, that bastard will treat him worse if he isn't afraid of being caught."

"I guess you're right." Jude jumped off the bed. "I'll tell them after dinner. Will you guys stay with me when I do?"

The brothers nodded, each putting an arm around Jude as they walked out of the bedroom.

A/N: Alright, so what did you think? I'll be taking prompts. This can be anything, an emotion, a song or lyric, a quote, a situation. The more you give me to work with the better. And let me know what characters and pairings you want to see. The only things I won't write would probably be where the siblings are romantically involved. Brallie is fair game though. (unless it's a situation where Callie is adopted). Let me know!
