This is the sequel to All of the Stars. You could probably get away with reading this story without reading All of the Stars, but I will give you a brief summary. Basically, Stef and Lena woke up in an alternate world where they never got together and therefore the Adams Foster family never came together. Long story short, in the end they end up putting their family back together and being closer than ever! I had so much fun writing that story and got such amazing feedback that I decided to try to write a sequel.

I was supposed to post this yesterday but I had the hardest time thinking of a title. Finally after listening to some music I decided to use another song title as the title.

Lastly, I just wanted to thank everyone who reviewed, favorited, or followed All of the Stars (and any other stories I write). I got such amazing feedback from everyone for All of the Stars. I'm grateful to anyone who actually enjoys reading my work. It really means a lot :)

I don't own the Fosters.

Callie walked into the house through the front door and dropped her bag by the door. She had just gotten done working a shift at the Drop-In-Center after attending her summer school classes. She wasn't happy about having to spend the summer in school, but the determination she had to graduate on time with her class got her through it.

Aside from having to attend summer school, for the first time since she went into foster care Callie was actually enjoying her summer. For once in her life she actually felt like a normal teenager, or as close to normal as possible for her.

The Adams Foster family was closer than ever. Almost losing each other forever made everyone realize just how lucky they were to be part of such a loving family. None of them were going to take that family for granted again. They were a family full of love and they were going to spend every moment they could showing that love towards each other.

Callie went straight to the kitchen expecting to already find her family gathered for family dinner, but to her surprise she found an empty kitchen. It looked like no one had even started dinner yet.

"Hello?" Callie called out. "Is anybody home?"

Callie stopped in the middle of the kitchen and looked around confused. "Where is everyone?"

Both of her moms' cars were in the driveway so she knew that they had to be home, but if they were home they would more than likely be in the kitchen preparing dinner. Aside from that all of her siblings should have been home as well. None of this made sense to Callie.

Just as Callie was about to head upstairs to continue her search for her family, her phone went off in her pocket, signifying she had a text message. Callie quickly took her phone out of her pocket in hopes that it was one of her family members.

'THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE BACKYARD FOR YOU'

Callie didn't recognize the phone number that the text message came from. If she was being honest, she was starting to get a little freaked out. Her family was for all intents and purposes missing and now she got a cryptic text message telling her there was something outside for her. For all she knew this could be some psycho that has her family tied up or something. Maybe they're tied up outside. Well, only one way to find out.

Callie was about to walk outside when she stopped in her spot. Callie quickly looked around the room. Callie quickly walked over to the stove and grabbed a big pan that was hanging above the stove. There's no way in hell I'm going out there empty handed. Callie walked over to the backdoor. She held the pan up, ready to hit anyone that came at her. She opened the door in one quick motion and jumped outside, quickly looking around in all directions.

"SURPRISE!"

Stef, Lena, Jude, Mariana, Jesus, and Brandon all jumped out of hiding.

Callie jumped and let out a startled scream as she looked around at her family in shock. "What are you guys doing?" Callie asked, catching her breath while her heart started to slow back down.

"What does it look like we're doing? We're celebrating your 17th birthday!" Stef exclaimed excitedly.

"What are you doing?" Jesus asked, amused by Callie's current state. She was still holding the pan up in the air and looked completely petrified.

Callie looked at the pan in her hand and quickly lowered it. "Nothing," Callie answered back quietly.

"Really, Callie? A pan? What were you going to do with a pan?" Jesus laughed.

"Well, did you guys really have to scare me like that? Who texted me anyway?"

"I did," Brandon admitted. "I used WhatsApp so you wouldn't recognize the number."

"We're sorry, love," Stef said as she took the pan from her and pulled her into a tight hug. "We didn't mean to scare you. At least not that much. We really just wanted this to be a surprise."

"I was definitely surprised, that's for sure."

"Come on," Lena said. "Let's eat so that we can open presents."

"No! Callie has to open her presents first!" Mariana whined. "I have been dying for her to see her present. I can't wait any longer!"

"Fine Mariana," Lena gave in to her youngest daughter. "Callie can open her presents first."

"What!?" Jesus exclaimed. "Seriously? I'm starving!"

"You can wait ten more minutes Jesus!" Mariana told her brother as she rushed over to Callie and pulled her toward the patio table where a bunch of presents were waiting for her.

Mariana practically pushed Callie into the chair directly in front of her presents.

"Wow, Mariana," Stef commented. "I think you're more excited about Callie's presents than she is."

"Truth!" Jesus agreed.

Mariana rolled her eyes as she grabbed a small box and handed it to Callie. "Okay, this one is from me!"

Callie smiled at Mariana's enthusiasm as she unwrapped the small box, revealing a jewelry box. Callie opened it to find a silver bracelet with an engraving on it. "C&M Sisters Forever," Callie read aloud as she looked at Mariana. "Mariana, this is amazing!"

Callie and Mariana hugged as Mariana replied, "Are you sure you like it?"

"I love it! Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I'm just really glad to have you as my sister. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Well, you'd have your own room again," Callie joked.

"Are you kidding? I would hate not sharing a room with you anymore!"

"A lot has definitely changed this past year," Brandon joked.

"Yes, that's so true! Open the next present!" Jesus exclaimed, trying to rush present time so that he could eat. "This one is from me." Jesus handed Callie a gift bag. "It's a shirt."

"You're not supposed to tell her what it is, Jesus," Lena chastised.

"I didn't tell her what the shirt says!"

"Thanks Jesus," Callie said as she opened the bag and took the shirt out. It was a t-shirt with a quote on it that read, 'You think I'm crazy?! You should meet my sister!'

"Really, Jesus?" Stef commented.

"I think that was meant for Mariana," Brandon joked, earning a glare from Mariana.

"Here, Callie, open mine next," Jude said as he handed her his present.

Callie smiled at Jude as she unwrapped the present. It was a framed collage of pictures of Callie at different stages of her life. Some of the pictures were of Jude and Callie with their mom when they were little and some of them were from now with the Adams Fosters. "Where did you get these pictures from?" Callie asked, shocked that she was looking at memories she thought she would never have momentums for.

"Moms took me to see dad. He still had some of our old albums in storage so he gave them to us."

"Yeah, now we have actual baby pictures of our babies," Stef added.

A tear fell down Callie's cheek as she looked at all of the pictures she thought were gone forever.

"Great job Jude, you made her cry," Jesus told Jude.

"No, I love it Jude," Callie assured Jude. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Jude smiled as they hugged.

"I hate to break this up, but there are still a lot of presents to get through," Jesus interrupted the moment.

"Okay, why don't I open the rest of my presents after we eat dinner?" Callie suggested.

"You don't have to do that Callie," Lena told Callie.

"No, really, I don't mind. It's better than listening to Jesus complain this whole time."

"Hey, I'm starving here!"

"Alright, you guys get seated at the table," Stef announced to her children. "Momma and I will get the lasagna out of the oven."

Stef and Lena went inside as the kids gathered around the patio table.

Stef and Lena looked out of the kitchen window and just watched their kids for a moment. Lena hugged Stef from behind as they both took in the moment.

"Do you ever wish that we could have gotten the kids when they were younger? Especially, Jude and Callie. I mean at least when the twins got here they were seven. They were still little. We just didn't get to experience the baby years with them. With Jude and Callie, we missed so much."

"I know what you mean. Sometimes I wish we could have found Jude and Callie as soon as Colleen died and that we could have been the twins first foster home. That way they never would have gone through all of the horrible homes. But, then I realize that all of their experiences made them who they are today."

"I guess you have a point."

"I'm just grateful that we all found each other. Ultimately, we're a family full of love. That's all that matters."

Stef smiled at Lena as they continued to admire their family.

The Next Morning…

Stef could feel someone lightly tapping her shoulder, trying to wake her up.

Who is trying to wake me up right now?

"Mommy…"

Wait…mommy?

Stef quickly opened her eyes and looked to see who was trying to wake her up.

Stef looked wide-eyed at who she saw in front of her. It was definitely Brandon, but he didn't look like the Brandon she said goodnight to last night.

"Mommy, there are some other kids down the hall!"

"Brandon?" Stef questioned.

"Yes, mommy?" Brandon grinned.

"Lena!" Stef exclaimed as she turned over to look at her wife.

"What!?" Lena asked as she jumped from being woken up so abruptly by Stef.

"Look!"

Lena looked over Stef to see a grinning much younger Brandon. "Oh, no. Not again."

All feedback is always welcomed and greatly appreciated.

Okay, I need some opinions here. I'm not sure if I should make Callie the age she was when her mom died or make her younger (probably about 5). All of the kids are going to still have the same age difference. So if Callie is 10, Brandon would be about 10, Jesus and Mariana would be about 9 and Jude would be about 6. If I make Callie 5, Brandon would be 5, Jesus and Mariana would be 4 and Jude would be a baby. What do you guys think? I'm having a hard time deciding which idea is best.

Thanks for reading :)
