Callie:
Opening her eyes, she looked over to her dresser and grabbed her phone with her hand. She clicked the home button to see what time it was, and the phone read 10:15 a.m. She slowly threw her legs over the side of the bed, stood up, and made her way down stairs. She got a slight smell of freshly baked pancakes as she got closer to the kitchen.
"Good morning, love." She heard her mom say to her.
"Good morning… mom." She replied back
She thought to herself, if she was being totally honest, this morning did not feel like it was going to be good. She had no reason to believe why it would not be a good morning; she just had this gut feeling that something horrible was going to happen…
"Callie!?" Stef yelled, and she was ripped away from her thoughts.
"Hmm?" she replied with a confused face.
"Is everything alright? Love." Stef asked with a concerned face. "Everything is fine mom. No need to worry, I am just a little tired. I went to be late last night trying to finish all of my school work so I wouldn't have to do any this weekend." Lying through her teeth as she quietly replied to Stef.
Stef:
She could see that something was bother Callie, however before she could investigate any further her youngest daughter Marianna came down over the stairs.
"Good morning, Miss Thing. How did you sleep?" she could still see the sleep in her daughter's eyes.
"I slept okay, still tired you know.?" Marianna replied quietly
Before Stef could ask Marianna any further questions, Marianna turned her back and started talking to Callie.
Stef looked over at Lena and with her eyes told her to follow her into the other room.
"Lena hunny… is it just me or does something seem to be bugging Callie?" she asked with worry in her eyes and stepping closer to her wife. "To be honest Stef, I think Callie is fine. I think she was just day dreaming back there unaware that you were even talking to her." Lena replied as she went over and gave her wife a reassuring hug.
Marianna:
"Callie! Are you doing anything today?" she asked Callie cheerfully, hoping she had nothing going on.
"No I am not doing anything, but I believe I will be by the way you just asked that question. So what do you have in mind for the two of us to do today?" Callie replied.
"Well, I thought maybe we could go to the mall an" Callie interrupted immediately, "No way Marianna, you know that I hate shopping and going to the mall." "Callie, now if you had let me finish, I am sure you would be more than willing to go to the mall," Marianna replied with a smirk as she watched confusion spread across Callie's face. With a huff, Callie agreed to let Marianna finish.
"As I was saying maybe we could go to the mall today so that I could return an outfit. And then I thought maybe we could go to the beach and just suntan and talk." Marianna replied with a smile as she watched a smile spread across Callie's face. "You know what Marianna that is a great idea, I would love to do that."
Just as Callie finished responding, the boys all came hustling into the kitchen hungry and ready to eat some breakfast and get the day started.
