A/N: A special thanks to YvetteAdamsFoster for the idea for this story. This is a little twist on the fosters story where Callie and Jude were the kids Stef found in the police station. The twins are the ones who have been through more.

Stef's POV

Flashback

I walked in the station and saw a young girl sitting with a little boy that looked a few years younger than her. I walked up to Captain Roberts and asked," Who're those two kids?"

"Well, their foster parents dropped them off, " Roberts said. "Said they couldn't take care of then anymore. The boy won't talk and the only thing the girl said was that she wasn't going to let us split them up. "

I opened my desk drawer and pulled out two suckers. I walked over to the kids, kneeling down, and ssid," Hey there. I'm Stef. Who are you guys?"

"I'm Callie," the girl said, and i noticed that she had an arm wrapped around her brother. "And this is my little brother, Jude."

"Nice to meet you two," I said, smiling. "I'm sure you don't like candy but I just thought..." I trailed off, holding up the two suckers. Callie took both of them and handed the one to her brother. "Well I have to get some desk work done, but I have a coloring book you guys can color in. That sound okay?" Both kids nodded and walked over to my desk.

End of Flashback

"Hey, Mom," Callie said as she entered the kitchen. "So... my birthday's in a few days and I figured that now would be a good time to tell you what I want."

"You mean besides the huge sweet sixteen we're throwing you?" I asked, taking a sip of my coffee.

Callie nodded," Yeah. Just one thing." I raised my eyebrows, gesturing for her to continue. "I need a new camera. All the kids in my photography class have these new high-tech cameras from this year. Mine is an edition from four years ago. It sucks compared to everybody else's."

"Really Callie?" I asked, looking at the girl. "You know you have two other siblings that we have to feed, right? A brand new camera that's this year's edition would cost more than the price of your brothers' gaming systems. Combined. I don't know, Cal. We're already spending so much for your birthday. "

"Can I call grandma?" Callie asked, giving me an innocent smile. "Better yet, I'll call Grams and Gramps."

"Mama will actually kill you if you do that," I said, chuckling.

"If she finds out," Callie said. I heard someone walking down the stairs, and Brandon entered.

"Good morning, B," I said, and he sat down at the table.

"Morning," he said, grabbing fruit from the bowl. "Jude's still getting ready."

"He probably wants to look cute for his boyfriend," Callie said, smiling. "For a thirteen year old, he stresses too much about his appearance. I, on the other hand, can look good without trying."

"Sure, keep telling yourself that," Brandon said, patting Callie on the back.

She lunched his arm playfully and said," Shut up!"

"Kids, kids, let's be civil," I heard Lena's voice say as she entered the kitchen. "Morning, Stef," she said, giving me a kiss.

"Morning, love," I said. "Callie is trying to convince us that we should get her a new camera for her birthday."

"What's wrong with the one you have?" Lena asked, looking at Callie."You've only had it for about a year."

"Yeah, but it's not new like everybody else's," I said, mimicking Callie's voice.

"I don't sound like that!" Callie said. "Speaking of which, I have photography class after school today. I need to grab my camera."

After Callie ran upstairs, Brandon said," So are you just messing with her? Because I saw a new camera in your room. Like, the exact one Callie wants."

"B, you can't tell her," Lena said, sitting down next to me with a cup of coffee. "That would be like Callie telling you about the new keyboard we got you last year."

"Okay, I won't," Brandon said, putting his hands up in surrender. "Mama, when are we leaving?"

"As soon as Jude gets down here and eats something," Lena said, grabbing some of the scrambled eggs from the pan. "Did Callie eat something?"

"Ummm, I don't think so," I said, walking over to the sink to put my empty mug in it. I walked to the stairs and said," Hey, Cal! Come on and eat something. You too, Jude."

"Not hungry," Callie called back, and i heard footsteps approach the stairs. Jude cane down the stairs and got to the end.

"Morning, bud," I said, patting his back. I returned my attention to the stairs and said," Sorry, Callie. You have to eat something."

"But Mom," Calkie said, as she appeared in the stairway. I gave her a look and she said," Fine. I'll just get an apple."

"Thank you," I said, walking back to the kitchen. "You look nice, Jude," I said, while getting the stuff out to make lunches.

"Ummm, can I have tuna?" Callie asked, pointing to the sandwiches I was making. I looked at her and she said," I just want to eat healthier."

"If you want to make it," Lena said. Callie sighed, and opened the fridge. After we finished making lunches Lena said," Okay kids. Let's get a move on. "

They all walked to the door and I said," Bye, munchkins. I love you."

"Bye," they all called, walking out the door. I grabbed my stuff and got my keys off the table. I remembered that Brandon had a concert later on tonight to qualify for a music scholarship. Litttle did I know that my busy day was about to get a little more interesting.
