A/n: Adams Plus Foster
I had a dream about this, so don't judge it please.
Lena has two teenage twin sons, Joshua Adams-Hudson and Matthew Adams-Hudson (17) from a previous relationship with another woman. Stef Foster comes into picture and chaos may ensue. Stef is also raising her younger brother, David Foster (17) after their parents died in a car crash right after Stef got out of the academy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the original characters and the storyline.
Chapter 1: The Introduction
Stef was sitting in her car with pizza sitting in the passenger's seat. She's biting her lip and nervously shaking. She fell head over heels in love with a woman who has two teenage twin boys. She's never done kids before, so this should be interesting, especially when she had her baby brother to take into consideration. She watched as two teenage boys get out of a car and go inside. The one getting out of the driver's seat wearing an Anchor Beach letterman jacket, that's Matthew, he plays football and baseball, and is the best Anchor Beach has to offer athletically. He's funny, smart, and extremely outgoing. The one getting out of the passenger's seat is Joshua, he's a part of the STEM program at Anchor Beach. He's quiet, extremely smart, and socially awkward. The twins are best friends; Matthew and Joshua have been through enough together to always stick by each other. Their mothers' split really took an emotional toll on both of them and Stef knew that, so she knew that she had to make a good first impression.
She watched as Lena pulled into next to the car that the two teenagers got out of and immediately got out to greet you, "Hi honey," she said.
Stef got out of the car still in uniform and embraced her girlfriend, "Hi love." She said. "I brought pizza."
"Oh, you trying to win my boys over?" Lena asked before kissing Stef.
"I mean, I guess." The police officer said with a shrug. "I want them to like me."
"They'll like you, don't worry." The vice principal said. "They maybe protective, but they'll love you. It may take Matt a minute to get used to you, but that's only because he saw how bad Katie and my divorce was more than Josh. He's been protective of me ever since."
"I can respect that," Stef said wrapping her arms around her girlfriend. "Shall we get in there?"
"We shall." Lena said leading her girlfriend in. "I'm actually excited for you to meet my kids."
"I'm excited to meet them." Stef said. "You've talked so well about them." Lena abruptly stopped at the door and turned to Stef who had pizza boxes in her hands and kissed her, "Wha- what was that for?" Stef asked.
"Just because." Lena said as she opened the door, "Here we go."
"Mama is that you?" A voice called from upstairs.
"Yes, Stef is here with dinner, so please come down." Lena called back up. Stef heard the boy roll out of bed and come jogging down the stairs, he had curls as wild as Lena's, it made the police officer smile. "Stef honey, this is Matt. Matt baby, this is Stef."
Matt stuck his hand out and shook her hand, "Nice to meet you." He said. "Pizza?" He asked.
Stef nodded as Lena asked, "Where's Josh?"
"I think he's down coding something in the basement. He was really quiet on the way home from school today." Matt said. "I think he and our mom got into a heated discussion last night after the weekly dinner and he's a little put off with it all."
Lena sighed, "Okay, can you go get him while Stef and I get everything ready for dinner?" She asked.
"Of course, Mama." He said kissing her cheek.
The boy goes off to go get his brother as Lena sighed, Stef wraps her free arm around her, "Everything okay, babe?" The police officer asked.
"Sorry, Katie doesn't cater to the fact that Josh is a little more sensitive than Matt is, and it bothers me." Lena answered leaning back into her girlfriend's embrace. "But, c'mon, the kitchen is this way."
Lena led Stef into the kitchen as Matt comes up the stairs, "He's saving his project on his computer and then he'll be up." The boy said as footsteps were heard coming up the stairs.
The boy emerging from the stairway had curls not as wild as his brother's and mama's, but still wild enough. Big glasses perched on his nose and he didn't have as much muscle as his twin, but when Stef saw Lena go and hug him tight and kiss the top of his head and the boy melted into his mama's embrace. She whispered something in his ear and he nodded as she kissed the top of his head again.
"So, Josh, this is Stef. Stef this is Josh." Lena said.
"It's nice to meet you, Stef." Josh said reaching his hand out for Stef to shake.
Stef shook the boy's hand, "It's nice to meet you too, Josh." She said. "I brought pizza."
Josh's face lit up a little, "Awesome." He said as the four sat down around the kitchen table.
It was quiet at first, everyone enjoying the pizza, and then Matt started speaking, "So, how'd you two meet?" He asked.
The couple chuckled, "She was enrolling her brother at Anchor Beach," Lena said.
"You're brother goes to Anchor Beach?" Matt asked.
Stef nodded, "He's a senior." She said. "You two probably know him, David Foster?"
Both boys who were drinking water spit out some of the water in their cups, "Really?" They both asked at the same time.
"Ye-yes." Stef answered hesitantly.
"He just seems really standoff-ish." Matt said. "I've tried holding conversations with him, but he never seems to want to talk."
"He's been through a lot," Stef said. "Our parents died in a car accident right after I got done with the academy. I think part of him doesn't want to get close to anybody. He's really into his art. He draws comic book like stuff. He's a good kid."
"I mean," Matt said, "I'd love to get to know him outside of school. He seems really cool."
"Maybe I can bring him around occasionally," she suggested looking at Lena who nodded her head.
"I'd love to get to know him too," Lena said. "All his teachers say that he's really smart and in one on one interactions that they've had with him that he's really funny."
"He is really smart," Josh confirmed. "He's my chemistry lab partner. He doesn't mess around, which is what I like about him."
"Well, it's your weekend with them, right?" Stef asked Lena who nodded. "Maybe I can bring him around tomorrow?"
"That sounds good." Lena said kissing Stef's cheek and staring lovingly at the police officer.
What neither one of the women saw was the smiles on the boys' faces as they watched their mama fall in love again.
Stef got back home several hours later to see her brother asleep on the couch watching the news, there was a sketchbook open on the table and the police officer tried to take a peek of what he was working on because he never shows her anything, "Don't even think about it," he mumbled.
"You didn't have to wait up for me, y'know." Stef said falling on the couch next to her brother as he reached over to shut his sketchbook before curling into his big sister.
"I wasn't waiting up for you." He said. "I just fell asleep on the couch after dinner."
"What time did you have dinner?" Stef asked.
"About six o'clock." He said.
"You've been sleeping a lot more lately, is everything okay?" She asked wrapping a strong arm around him.
He nodded and yawned, "I'm alright." He said. "Just been really tired."
Stef nodded and let it go, "Are you doing anything tomorrow?" She asked.
"No, why?" He asked.
"Lena and her kids want to hang out and thought that maybe we could all hang out together." Stef suggested.
"I mean, yeah sure." He said. "Josh is really cool and it'd be cool to get to know Matt more. And I guess it'd be pretty cool to see Principal Adams outside of her usual element."
"Yeah?" Stef said kissing the top of his head.
"Mmmhmm." David said, falling back asleep.
Stef held her brother close as he fell back asleep. She loved these moments with him, where she could hold him and not worry about anything.
Meanwhile, Lena was worried about Josh, after Stef had left, he retreated back down to the basement where he had all his computer stuff and his bed. It claimed the basement as his bedroom right after Katie had left and this was where he'd go to recharge.
Lena had knocked on the door and heard a muffled, 'come in,' and she opened the door and started walking down the stairs, "Hey baby." She said.
"Oh hi, Mama." He said looking over his shoulder at his desk. "What's up?"
"Are you okay?" Lena asked. "You've been really quiet tonight."
"I'm usually quiet," he said turning back to his computer.
"Quieter than usual." Lena said placing her hands on his shoulders beginning to gently massage them.
Josh sighed, "Mom and I got into an argument last night." He said.
"About what?" Lena asked.
"I applied for MIT with Stanford as my backup." He said. "She's mad because that Stanford is where she went for undergrad all the way through med school, it's my backup school."
"Well, you know how your mom is," Lena said. "She was in school for a long time and the idea of either one of her kids going where she spent so much time makes her happy."
"It's just- I just- I wanna go to MIT and I know it's far away and costs a lot of money, I could get a scholarship, but I want to go." He said. "But at the same time, I want to make Mom happy, but I don't know what to do."
"Ultimately, your mom just wants you happy, okay?" Lena said. "So do what makes you happy and if your mom gives you a hard time about that, I'll deal with it."
"Okay," he said as Lena kissed the top of his head.
"Soo," Lena said changing the subject, "what are you coding now?"
"My senior project," he said. "Basically designing an airplane."
Lena smiled, this son was into aeronautics while her other son was into sports, she loved how polar opposite they are, but how much they loved each other and protected each other.
"Tell me more about it." She said with a smile.
Stef and David were driving to the Adams residence in somewhat of a silence. They had the Padres game playing in the background, they both commented on it every once and awhile. As they pulled into Lena's neighborhood, David got really quiet. He was nervous. He didn't have a lot of friends because he stuck to himself at school. Most people mistakenly labeled him as the stoner kid, but he wanted to have at least a few friends. They still had a huge chunk left of their senior year left and he was tired of being friendless. It was a part of the reason why Stef enrolled him into Anchor Beach. To see if he could make some solid friends because at his last school, he was bullied a lot and it took a toll on him.
His knees were bouncing up and down and Stef could tell he was nervous, "Hey," she said as she parked in front of Lena's house. "Look at me." His eyes were glued to the windshield. "David, buddy," she said firmly. "Look at me." He then looked at his sister and she saw the fear and nervousness in his eyes, "Just be yourself and they'll love you. Josh already practically adores you and Matt and Lena really want to get to know you better. Nothing you can do will make them think less of you, okay?"
He nodded, "Okay, thanks Stef." He said. "You always know how to make me feel better."
Stef nodded and leaned over to kiss his forehead, "Of course babe." She said. "Now, let's go."
The siblings got out of the car and walked up to the front door, knocking on it, and Lena answered it, "Hi baby," she said greeting Stef with a kiss, pulling back she said, "Hi David."
"Hi Principal Adams," he said.
"Oh please, call me Lena." She said spreading her arms out for a small hug. He gave Lena a hug before she invited them in, "Boys! Stef and David are here."
Josh came into the living room first, "Hi Stef." He said hugging her.
"Hi Josh," she said hugging him back.
"Hi David," Josh said giving him a high five.
"Hi Josh," David said returning the high five.
Matt came in with his mouth half full of a cookie he was eating, "Hey Stef." He said spreading his arms out for a hug.
Stef chuckled, "Hey Matt," she said in the hug.
Matt then turned to David and spread his arms out for a hug, "Hey David," he said then turning his hug into a fist bump remembering that he heard something about David not liking hugs. "It's nice to see you."
David gratefully returned the fist bump, "Hi Matt." He said softly. "It's nice to see you too."
Stef's eyes wandered back to the tv where the Padres game that they were listening to in the car was on, "You're a Padres fan?" She asked Matt.
He nodded, "That I am," he said. "You?"
The siblings chuckled, "The hugest of Padres fans." Stef said.
"Well, I know these two," he gestured to his twin and mama, "know nothing about baseball, but we can watch it."
"I mean, if that's okay," the Foster siblings said at the same time.
"Of course," Lena said.
They all went to sit down in the living room, the twins sat in both of the recliners in the room and the couple immediately cuddled on the loveseat, leaving David to sit alone on the couch. As they watched the game, David's eyes would travel to where his sister and principal were cuddling on the couch. He smiled as he watched them. He never thought he'd see the day where his sister was genuinely happy and he's glad that he was wrong because even though it was with his principal, he couldn't ask for anyone better for his sister.
Later that evening, David was passed out on the couch. Lena saw him and placed the throw blanket that usually sits on the back on the couch over him. Stef came in and saw what her girlfriend was doing, "Oh thanks love," she said looking at her brother who passed out on the couch.
Lena shrugged, "He looked a little cold." She said.
"He's been sleeping a lot lately." Stef said coming and wrapping her arms around his girlfriend. "I'm a little worried."
"Like you said last night, he's been through a lot. I wouldn't worry too much about it." Lena said. "If it gets worse, then I'll be here to help you through, okay?"
Lena turned in Stef's embrace and wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck, the police officer stared into the principal's eyes, and she whispered for the first time, "I love you, Lena Adams."
The curly haired woman's face lit up and she whispered back, "I love you too, Stef Foster."
The couple stood there making out for a moment before pulling back and Lena rested her face into Stef's shoulder. The police officer swayed them back and forth softly. She looked at her brother who was dead asleep to the world and finally felt at peace knowing that she didn't have to take care of him by herself anymore that the woman in her arms right now was falling in love with the teenager and she wasn't alone anymore.
A/n: Chap 2 will dive more into the OCs personalities and mannerisms and whatnot. Hope you stick around.
