Lena, love have you found the flashlights I think the power will go out soon" Stef called out walking down the stairs. "Kids dinner in five. Homework should be done!" Lena's voice filled the house reaching her three children. Lena looks up as her love enters the room, "yes, everything's in the other room." She gave Stef a quick kiss. "How was work?" Stef pauses a moment, constructing her reply so that it wouldn't upset Lena, "Not much to report on today. A few calls nothing serious" Stef looks for any signs on her wife's face of anything. Lena hated Stef being an police officer, always afraid she was going to get hurt, things seemed to be getting better around it though. "Kids!" Stef called up the stairs as Lena set the table a quick flash of lighting and roll of thunder following. "Ha, perfect timing." Stef laughed. Jesus was almost always their first kid down the stairs at the call of food. Running down the stairs he slide right into his place at the table "what's for dinner?" He asked trying to catch a glimpse of what was on the stove. The slamming down on the keyboard from upstairs stopped which meant that Brandon would be down in a minute."Mariana come on!" Stef called up once more. "Coming! Yeah bye I'll call you later..." Mariana finally joined her moms and two brothers at the table for dinner. Another loud roll of thunder filled the house, moments later Stef shushed her family. "Did anyone hear that?" She whispered walking towards the living room. "There was a cry." She looked around at her family who thought it must have been nothing. "I'm just going to go check out front okay guys? I'll be right back." Jesus looked around the room and to lighten the tension that now filled the room he said "Mom to the rescue once more," he then made a noise that was sure to have been one of triumph. "Oh god! Lena come here quick ! Stef yelled from her front porch. Lena came rushing out followed by her three children, there in front of them lie a drenched shaking bruised girl about a year younger than the two twin, 13 maybe 14. "Brandon go get blankets. Mariana get some dry clothes. Jesus grab a bowl of that soup from the kitchen we need to warm his poor girl up now." Lena was already taking charge going into momma bear mode. "Stef we need to bring her inside, we can figure everything out from there." As the two women stepped towards the girl to bring her into their home she began flailing trying to stay away from their grips "please don't hit me!" Her screams made Lena take a step back "shhhh. Hi sweetie I'm Lena and this is my wife Stef, we're gonna take you inside now okay? We won't hurt you." She bent down to sooth the girl, pushing away a strand of this girls hair Lena reveled a large slash across her face with a bruised neck. "Lena, we need her inside now." Stef broke Lena from her trance, "who could do something to this poor little girl like that? And what could Stef and herself do about it?"
