This is the first part of a one-shot series of Stef and Lena from The Fosters. A huge Thanks to Carolyn for giving me this plot, and helping me bring it to life! Hope you all enjoy!

It had been a very long, and very stressful day for the both of them. Stef had to basically go on a man hunt to find a man who had kidnapped two little girls. It turned out that the strung out crack head was the father of the girls, and right before had shot their mother for intervening with one of his clients. The hardest part was making the children leave with a social worker, alone. Cases like those made Stef sick to her stomach, and all she wanted to do was go home and cuddle up with her wife and not talk for hours. Just having the feeling of security and love.

Lena had rough day as well. Timothy came back to the school only to cause even more problems with her and Monty. He threatened to sue the school, and possibly get it shut down. The hardest part for her was that he was supposed to be her friend, and she had to treat him like the enemy. The look he gave her before Monty told him to leave, ripped her to shreds. Almost crying right there on the spot. Wanting nothing more than to go home and be with her family.

Their kids could feel and knew that their moms had a terrible day, so they kept to themselves, knowing that all they really needed was each other. After Stef and Lena made dinner and cleared the kitchen, they headed up stairs for some much needed bonding time. The both of them had been distant lately, not really talking, or even taking the time to acknowledge their other half. Every little thing made it almost impossible for them to act as wife's, let alone act like they knew each other.

Climbing into bed they moved into their usual position, with Stef's front to Lena's back. Both hanging on for dear life. Stef laid sweet tender kisses in the crook of Lena's tan neck, making her flinch a little. Then relaxing into her wife, relishing in her touch. Bringing both of their hands up to her face, she laced their fingers together and pressed a wet open mouthed kiss on both of their fingers. Lena began playing with one of Stef's bracelets she bought for her when they first made it official. When it was okay to buy expensive gifts for no real occasion. Lena opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Stef, "I miss this." Her voice cracking at the end.

"I miss us.." Lena said softly, pulling her wife in closer. Simultaneously they exhaled, now intertwining their legs.

"We really aren't keeping our promises are we?" Stef began with worry lacing her voice, "I'm not keeping my promises.." Bowing her head in defeat into Lena's hair.

Lena flipped over quickly capturing the blonde's head between her hands forcing her wife to look at her, "Do not blame only yourself this time, Stef. We just..we both have been losing our way lately. Both of us. Not just you. I'm part of the problem too." Keeping her eyes locked onto Stef's, she continued, "I think that maybe we shouldn't make such big promises to keep. It's too hard on the both of us, with five kids and all, it's not really possible right now to fulfill them." Her voice remained stern and caring, knowing her wife was still going to blame herself for everything. That's just the type of person Stef was, she was so hard on herself and wanted nothing more than to give her family everything their hearts desired. That's what Lena loved most about her, her heart.

"I know love, but one day words won't be enough to keep the both of us happy. And eventually…" Her voice carried off, a tear beginning to gather in the corner of her eye. Lena shifted her head to kiss the tear away. The last thing she wanted her wife thinking was that Lena was going to leave her because the intimacy and passion that they had in the beginning had faded some. In some aspect it hurt her a little.

"I have an idea.." Lena sat up in the bed and crossed her legs, looking down at Stef who was confused. A huge smile grazing the brunette's slim face, "Let's have a date night!"

Watching Lena's eyes light up gave Stef chills, she thought it was so damn cute when her wife got this excited about doing something with her. "Do you really think we have the time to have a date night?" Lena's eyes fell dark, and Stef quickly changed her tone and sat up, mimicking Lena's positon, "We'll… We'll make time. Dinner and a movie?"

Lena rolled her eyes, "Dinner yes, movie no. I want it to just be me and you. Not in this house! No kids. Just me and you, without a care in the world. Like it used to be." Lighting up again when she saw the corner of Stef's mouth rise a tiny bit. "What do you think?"

"I think, well, I think it can work. Where do you want to go? I know you don't want to hear this, but it's not like we have the money to have a night on the town." Flinching a little knowing that Lena hated when Stef talked money to her. Her biggest turn off.

"I don't care if we make Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches and eat them on the side walk in front of our neighbor's house, as long as it's me and you." Reaching over grabbing Stef's hand and rubbing the tops of her knuckles, while trying to convince her to say yes.

"I'll make sure to bring a candle, it might get dark sitting out there. And with all the bugs.." Lena snatched a pillow and playfully hit Stef's side.

"Smart ass! I'm trying to be all romantic here, bear with me!" Her soft voice was playful again, and made butterflies in Stef's stomach. Man what this woman could do to her.

"Alright my love, then it's a date?" Leaning in waiting for Lena to answer and follow through.

"It's a date!" She said in a high pitched tone, closing the gap and tackling Stef into the bed, giggling into each other's mouths.

The only day they could manage to have to themselves was Sunday night. The kids didn't have school the next day, so they didn't have to worry about making sure they all ate, and got to bed on time. Stef took Monday off as well, so that they could have the entire night together.

The weekend went by extremely slow for Lena. The day after they made their date, the brunette started planning her outfit, how she would do her hair, and figuring out which matching set of bra and underwear she would tease her wife with all night. Hoping that this time, they both would enjoy themselves and much more. When she started to plan out their date night, Stef covered the brunette's mouth with her hand and whispered, "I got it," in her ear, sending chills throughout her body.

Thankfully the weekend came and gone, and it was now finally Sunday. Stef told Lena she would be out for a couple of hours getting the Pbj and candles ready on the sidewalk for them. Making Lena develop a nervous laugh, 'She wasn't really serious right?' ridding her head of the thought, she started to get ready. Even though she had no idea where they were going or what they were doing, she still put on her nicest clothes and perfected her curls just right. This would be a night they reconnected in ways they needed most. It was their night, she repeated in her head, making a goofy grin appear on her face.

It was about 7 o'clock before Stef yelled up the stairs, "Lena love? Are you ready yet?" Almost on cue Lena walked gracefully down the steps, making Stef's heart skip a beat. She was dressed in silky black high waist pants with a wide belt, and a white flowing see through blouse, that showed her black lacy bra. Stef's mouth was now watering uncontrollably, "Wow, Lena… You look.. You look unbelievably stunning," Her mouth hung open as her wife approached her, "I mean really stunning." Stef's eyes went straight to her wife's chest, then slowly crawled up back to her big brown eyes.

"Mmm, well officer? Don't we have date to start?" She said while wrapping her arms around her wife's neck, pulling her in for a kiss.

"Oh yah.." She trailed off getting lost in the plump lips that were attacking her own. Their make-out was short and sweet, and most definitely set the tone for the night already.

Grabbing ahold of Lena's hand she led them out to car, opening her wife's door for her, "My love." Standing aside with an arm showing Lena the way.

"Well, thank you!" Placing a chaste kiss on thin lips.

They drove for about twenty minutes, before Lena looked out and became confused to where they were going, "Stef?"

"Hmm?"

"Uhh, where the hell are we going?" A perplexed look stuck on the brunette's face. They went from sunshine and beaches, to the sun setting behind thick trees. She didn't even know they had forests where they lived, let alone a restaurant or hotel in the middle of them. Stef just smiled, and continued driving. They turned onto a dirt road, still in the middle of the woods. It was getting darker by the minute, frightening Lena.

"I'm going to ask again only because I'm about to go into freak out mode, where are we going?"

Stef stifled a laugh and said, "Don't worry love, I just figured we'd go site seeing first. Isn't it beautiful out here?"

"Oh yah sure.. If I felt like being murdered.." her tone becoming fierce. The brunette was becoming annoyed fast, and did not want to wait any longer.

Suddenly the car came to a stop, a worried look appearing on Stef's face, "Oh no.."

"Oh no what?" Lena snapped.

"Umm, I may or may not have forgotten to fill the gas tank before we left…" Stef said in a quiet voice, waiting for the explosion that was about to occur.

"You've got to be kidding me.. Right? This is a joke? You're just playing a cruel, cruel joke.. RIGHT?" The more Lena spoke the louder she got. So much for a nice romantic dinner with her wife.

"It's not like we're miles away from civilization Lena, we can just call one of the kids to come bring us some gas." Whipping out her phone and turning it on, her face fell, again. "Or not.."

Lena saw the panic on Stef's face and pulled out her own phone, "Great, no service.. Let's just hope no cannibals are out here to eat us alive…"

"Oh stop. Let's just get out and walk a little, see if there are any houses nearby that could help us out?" The blonde said.

Seeing that Stef was serious, Lena unbuckled and got out of the car, knowing for sure Stef was not about to leave her in the car all by herself. Lena clung to Stef's arm as they walked through the trees and bushes, eyes and ears on high alert for anything that would come their way. Stepping on a stick, Lena flipped out and started running for dear life. Stef stopped and watched, laughing, waiting to see how long it took for her to scare herself again and come running right back to her. Just like that Lena realized Stef was no longer by her side and came sprinting back at full speed.

"This is so stupid why are we doing this?" Lena stated out of breath and so terrified that it was making her mad. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a light shining behind one of the larger trees. Taking a few more steps, it all came into view. There was a huge tent and a picnic table surrounded by Tiki torches. Lena's heart started to flutter when she realized this all really was a sick joke.

"Is this?... Are we?.." She couldn't even make out a sentence because she was so taken back with everything Stef had done.

"Yes love, this is all for you.." The picnic table had a white linen cloth draped over it with rose peddles on top, leading from the table into the tent. A string of lights connected all the Tiki torches illuminating the forest. She started to head towards the tent but a strong hand stopped her and turned her around fast, "Not yet.. I want us to eat first before we go inside." Lightly placing a few kisses on her wife's neck before guiding her to the table to make her sit down.

Stef reached under the table and pulled out a cooler. Placing two plates down, one for her and one for Lena onto the table. Next, she brought out a bottle of wine, of course Lena's favorite. Lastly, pulling out two sandwiches and placing each onto their plates.

"Ham, cheese, lettuce, and mayo for you my dear. And turkey, cheese, and tomato for me!" Shoving the cooler back under the table, she took her seat across from her gleaming wife, "I know it's not a gourmet meal, or a night out on the town but.." She was quickly cut off by Lena's lips against her own. A low moan growled in the back of Stef's throat, no longer wanting food, only her wife.

Lena released Stef from her grip and sat back down slowly, "This…" waving her arms, pointing to everything, "This is perfect… I love it.. and I love you." Suddenly Lena became shy and tore her gaze away from her wife's.

"I love you too," Was the only thing Stef could manage to say without falling apart from the seams.

They ate their sandwiches in a comfortable silence, enjoying the others company. Stealing hidden glances, and sexy smiles. Lena was the first one done, only because she really wanted to see what was in the tent. The excitement was getting the best of her, the fact that Stef didn't want to show her what was inside, made her body tense up in all the right places. Stef looked longingly at Lena, not sure if it was just the idea about tonight, or the whole concept of being able to call Lena her wife, made her heart soar.

"Are you ready?" Stef said in a seductive tone. She knew she definitely was.

"Mmm, ready for what?" Lena shot right back, raising an eyebrow.

"C'mon, I'll show you." Walking around the table she grasped Lena's hand and headed towards the tent, stopping right before they entered. Leaning in she took hold of the brunette's ear lobe and bit down, getting a whimper out her wife, "Are you ready for dessert?" Looking into Lena's eyes, she could see them turn from brown to black within an instant.

"Yes.." she breathed out, almost inaudible.

Slowly, Stef unzipped the tent and let it fall open. A short gasp flew from Lena's mouth in awe of what she saw. There was a bed, an actual bed, also covered in rose petals. Surrounded by a bunch of colorful pillows, and more lights lining the inside of the tent. Next to the bed was a small stool that had a bucket of ice and Champagne inside. On the back of the tent, there was pictures of the two of them taped to the wall. Some from their wedding, parties, and most of them were from when they first got together. Young and carefree, with only one child to look after. Before their lives became too hectic, to even take a simple picture. Lena's eyes become blurry with tears, she never thought Stef would put so much time into their simple little date night. But she had, and it made the brunette feel incredibly loved.

"Do you like it?" Stef asked with an embarrassed tone. It might have been too much, but she needed to show her wife that their relationship, even after all these years meant something to her.

"You did all this?" Lena asked.

"This is what I was doing all day today. I knew you wanted tonight to be special, so we could reconnect. I just figured going to some restaurant with people all around us, then going to some hotel or something, wouldn't make you as happy. So I thought of this." She had to stop for a moment because the look Lena was giving her was almost too much to handle. Lacing their fingers again, Stef stepped closer to Lena, "I need you to know that I don't want to spend my life with anyone else but you. You're it. You're my everything. I will spend every day for the rest of my life keeping you safe and loved. I know that we can't do this every weekend. I know that our sex life has to be put on hold for a while. I know that sometimes all we need is to just cuddle up and sleep, only to wake up in each other's arms. But what I know for sure.. Is that I will never get tired of you. Ever." Tears were now falling freely down Stef's face, she couldn't hold them in any longer. Loving this woman meant the world to her, and the thought of losing Lena made her heart feel hollow.

"I really would have been okay with Peanut Butter and Jelly on the sidewalk.." Both chuckling and sniffling, she continued, "But this… is what makes me fall in love with you over and over again every day." Lena let go of Stef's hand and walked inside, then turned around to motion her wife to do the same.

When both women were inside, Lena bent down to zip the tent back up, secluding them from the rest of the world. When she turned back around to face her wife, she grabbed Stef by her leather jacket and pulled her in for a hard bruising kiss. Stef placed her strong hands on Lena's hips and forced their bodies even closer. The quick movement caused friction, causing a guttural moan to escape Lena's mouth. Taking the opportunity, Stef plunged her tongue into the brunette's mouth. Exploring like it was the first time all over again. Tongues dancing, teeth clashing, hands roaming anywhere they could possibly get to, and just like that they separated. But only for a second to catch their breath and thin lips attacked plump ones all over again. Lena shoved the leather jacket off her wife's shoulders and threw it to the ground. Stef pinning Lena's hands above her head, so she could swiftly rip off the see through blouse that had been teasing her all night.

"I think you wore this on purpose," Stef moaned out. Lena only smiling against her lips, "Do you know what that does to me?" Her voice hoarse and low. The blonde's hands now undoing her own zipper and buttons, guiding the brunette's hand to dripping wet core.

"Oh god.. Show me." Lena cried out.

Stef spun them around, removed her hand and flung Lena onto the bed. Kneeling onto the bed she tucked her fingers into the waist band of Lena's pants and slowly tore them away from her body, leaving her only in a black lace bra and a matching thong. "Mmm, I've been wondering what was under here." Clutching onto Lena's ankles, the blonde tugged her entire body forward. Locking one leg on each side of her waist, she began running the tips of her fingers up the inside of the brunette's thighs. Lena's moan getting caught in the back of her throat, she tightened the grip she had on her wife pulling her further up her body.

Stef fell forward, now lying flat against Lena's center, feeling the wetness slide against her sweaty skin. Climbing up her wife's body, causing much needed friction, all the while laying wet, opened mouth kisses on a toned frame. A couple circles with her tongue against Lena's belly button. Moan. A bite on her hip bone. Whimper. A long lick up the line between the middle of her abs. A muffled scream. Nails scrapping up the brunette's sides sliding underneath her back and cleverly undoing the lacey bra. Removing it with her teeth, she dragged it down Lena's stomach and threw it off to the side. Coming face to face with very perky breasts, she dipped down to tease one nipple her tongue and palmed the other, giving it the same attention. Grazing one taut nipple with her teeth, and pinching the other between two fingers. Lena's body shivered and raised itself off the bed, making two heated cores touch. When Stef moved to the other breast to repeat the process, Lena's hands found blonde hair and tugged hard to relieve her aching lips. Mouths clashed in a heated passion, moaning loudly. A tan hand managed to swim between the two bodies, roughly tugging off the tight jeans so she could feel the wet heat again.

Realizing what was happening, Stef grabbed Lena's wrist and brought it up with the other and pinned them again above her head, "These stay here.." The dominance side of Stef turned Lena on even more, soaking her thong within a second. Sitting back, Stef guided her hands down the length of Lena's body. Soaking in the softness of her tan skin. She stood back up to shimmy out of her jeans, leaving her now in a thin blue bra and nothing else.

"Oh god.." Lena said breathlessly. Saying she was wet, didn't even cover it when she saw Stef didn't have on underwear all night. Licking her lips she jerked her hips up, letting her wife know she needed her now. Stef took saw the gesture and made her wife scoot farther up the bed. She slithered her way back up Lena's tense body laying one last hard kiss on her lips. Creeping back down her lovers frame, the blonde situated herself in between Lena's legs. Making her wife bend her legs with one hand and spreading them with the other, she dove in.

Settling her tongue flat against her wife's slit, she took two long strokes, gathering as much saltiness as she could.

"Stef!" Lena cried, bucking her hips against her wife's mouth.

Stef continued, dipping the tip of her tongue into very wet folds. Eliciting another cry from Lena. Circling several times before driving her tongue deep into Lena's core, dragging it back out and repeating. She could already feel Lena's muscles contracting, which encouraged her to make her come hard and fast. Closing her lips around an engorged clit, the blonde slammed three fingers inside Lena. Simultaneously pumping and sucking, making the brunette jerk her hips, and began riding her wife's face.

"Oh.. god… Stef.." Lena's words barely forming. She couldn't take it anymore, her hands flew to blonde hair needing some kind of contact. When Stef felt Lena's hands in her hair she took her free hand and intertwined their fingers. One last flick of the tongue and curl of the fingers, Lena came into oblivion. Gripping Stef's hand till her knuckles turned white. White hot heat enveloping her entire body, muscles contracting so hard it made Lena scream. Stef continued her movements a little slower now, but pressed her tongue flat against her clit which sent Lena over the edge again, repeating the entire process all over again.

The blonde removed her mouth from Lena's clit and began cleaning up all the sweetness that poured out of her lover. Climbing back up face to face with her panting wife, needing to see her eyes, but still pumping, letting her come down slowly. Finally catching some sort of breath, Stef removed her fingers, making Lena gasp from the loss.

"How was dessert?" Stef said with a giggle following after.

"Give me a minute and I'll show you." Lena whispered flipping them over and recapturing her wife's pulsing lips. Groaning at the taste of herself in Stef's mouth. The grinding became faster, but Lena stopped and looked into her lover's eyes, "You are perfect, you know that?" Running her thumb across the blondes bottom lip, "I love you Stef."

"I love you, Lena."
