AN: So this is my second fanfic. Hope you like it, please tell me what you think. Enjoy! :)

It was an early monday morning in Steptember. Stef was already up with her uniform on, she was in the kitchen making pancakes for her eight year old son Brandon. She flipped the last pancake and put the plate on the table.

"Brandon, breakfast!" she shouted walking over to the stairs seeing her son running towards her. He crashed in to his mothers' arms embracing her hug, she kissed the top of his head and helped him up on one of the kitchen stools.

"Mmm, pancakes!" Brandon had a big smile on his face as he filled his plate with pancakes, when he was up to five, Stef decided to stop him. " Hey, buddy , five is enough" she looked at her son with a smile . Brandon looked back at his mother and stuck his tongue out.

"Hey watch it young man" Stef warned as she put a warning finger out and tickled him in the side. Brandon chuckled and started eating his pancakes.

"Where's Mama?" Stef asked noticing Lena hadn't come down yet. Brandon looked up at her " I think she's showering" he answered with his mouth full.

"Okay, sweets" Stef said pouring herself a cup of coffie " And don't talk with your mouth full, B" she took a seat beside her son and watched him enjoy his pancakes. She was just about to take her own plate when she heard Lena coming down the stairs.

"Good morning love" Stef greeted as she put her hands' around her girlfriends' waist, Lena pulled her in to a hug " Hi babe" Lena answered kissing Stefs' lips. She walked over to her son and placed a kiss on his head " How are you today, sweetie?" Lena asked sitting down on one the stools next to him " I'm a lot better" he answered with a big smile. Lena put her hand on his forhead " You're not warm today either" she smiled at her son, he had been sick for a few days but they decided that he would go to school today and see how it goes.

"Want some pancakes?" Stef offered putting a plate out for Lena. "Sure" Lena said already starting to put pancakes on her plate. They ate and made small talk until the clock was half past seven. They told Brandon to go brush his teeth, so the two women could have a moment for themselves. When Brandon had disappeared into the upstairs bathroom Stef sat down next to Lena.

"You have to call me if he starts to feel sick today, promise?" Stef looked at her girlfriend "Yes, honey I promise" Lena smiled kissing Stef on the lips.

"I have to get going" Stef said looking at the watch on her arm, she gave her girlfriend a kiss good bye, and hugged her son.

She pulled up to the police station about 15 minutes later. When she walked in she noticed two children about Brandons' age sitting on a bench in the corridor. It was a girl and a boy both with black hair and light brown skin. Stef walked passed them and into the office.

"What are they in for?" Stef asked one of her colleagues gesticulating towards the kids "Armed robbery" he answered making her laugh slightly. She picked up one of the files and started flipping through it "No, seriously" she looked up at the officer. He sighed " Their foster parents dropped them of. They said they couldn't take care of them anymore"

Stef felt her heart ached, those poor kids. She looked over at the children "We're waiting for CPS to come get them" the officer continued. Stef sighed, she felt so bad for these kids. She wanted to do something to cheer them up. She stood there for a little while thinking about what she could do when she remembered the lollipops laying in her desk drawer. They where from Brandons birthday and she couldn't remember what they where doing at her office, but she didn't have time to think about that now. She bent down and pulled out the drawer, and as she thought the lollipops where there. She took the red and yellow lollipops and made her way over to the kids.

When she was in front of the bench she crouched down in front of the children.

"Hey guys" she greeted giving them a warm smile "My name is Stef. What's yours?" she asked looking at the boy. He hesitated but answered "I'm Jesus and this is Mariana" gesturing towards the girl.

Stef smiled at Jesus "Jesus and Mariana" she repeated "Are you brother and sister?" she asked

"Or is this your wife?" she added making the boy laugh. Stef scanned the little girl, she seemed so scared and lost, Stef felt the urge to hug her but she resisted. She looked at the children for a while before she remembered the candy.

"Well, I'm sure you guys probably don't like candy, but just in case" she held up the lollipops to the siblings giving them a cheeky smile. Jesus smiled back at her and took the candy he was offered, but Mariana just looked down at the floor. Stef smiled at the girl trying to show her that she wasn't dangerous but Mariana didn't t budge. Jesus saw it and took the lollipop from Stef and handed it to his sister who didn't hesitate to take it. This broke Stefs' heart more than anything, seeing how this girl didn't trust anyone else but her brother. Stef smiled sadly at the girl feeling tears burning behind her eyes. She held them back as she stood back up giving the children one last smile before walking back into the office.

Stef couldn't think about anything else than Marianas' scared face and her brother trying so hard to take care of her. That was why Stef didn't get much done at work that day. Around lunch she called Lena to check in on Brandon. Lena picked up on the second ring

"Hi Stef" Lena answered chewing her food

"Hello love" Stef chuckled when she heard that Lena was eating

"What's up?"

"Oh nothing much, I was just checking in. Is Brandon ok?" Stef asked taking a bite of her sandwich .

"Yhea" Lena took a sip of water "He is fine Stef. Don't worry"

"That's great" Stef let out a sigh of relief

"And you know you're asking me to do something impossible right? I allways worry about the people I love, Lena" Stef said smiling, wishing Lena was with her right now

"Yes, I know, honey" Lena laughed "That's one of the reasons I love you so much"

"I love you too babe" Stef answered

"I have to finish my lunch " Lena said

"Yes, of course" Just as Lena was about to hang up Stef stopped her

"Wait, Lena" she said "I need to talk with you about something when we get home ok?"

"Do I need to be worried?" Lena asked started to sound a little worried

Stef smiled "No. Not at all" she reassured her girlfriend. They said good bye and hung up.

Stef knew she could be impulsive but this was something she felt very strongly about, she wanted to provide a safe home for Mariana and Jesus. She wanted to be their mother, well foster mother. She was pretty sure Lena would agree to it if she could just meet the siblings. Nothing exciting happend at work, so Stef spent the rest of the day googling "How to become a foster parent" and other stuff like that.

When she got home that night both Lena and Brandon where home.

"Mom!" Brandon shouted as Stef came through the door. She crouched down as he put his tiny arms around her. Stef lifted her son up and spun him around in the air. He was starting to get to big for that but Stef didn't care.

"Hi baby" Stef put Brandon down and kissed the top of his head. He took his mothers hand and they walked in to the kitchen together. Lena was standing at the sink washing the lettuce . She smiled when she saw Stef and went over to her and pecked her on the lips.

"Hi honey" Lena said putting her arm around her girlfriends' waist.

"Hello gorgeous" Stef greeted her kissing Lenas' cheek, feeling her body tingle, she loved this woman so much.

"Mama's making chicken" Brandon said climbing up on one of the high kitchen stools. Stef smiled at her son, she felt her heart warm. Stef wanted more kids, she had so much love and Mariana and Jesus really needed it. When the chicken was done they sat down and started eating.

"How was school?" Stef asked swallowing a pice of chicken.

"It was good" he said looking up at his mom "We are learning about space.." Brandon started to tell them and he didn't stop talking until dinner was over. Stef and Lena cleaned up the kitchen and Brandon went in the living room.

"So what was it you wanted to talk about?" Lena asked putting a plate in the dishwasher

"Um, so today down at the station I met two kids. Mariana and Jesus. They are in the foster system and they don't have a foster home" Stef paused waiting for Lenas' reaction but she just nodded pushing Stef to continue. "So I was thinking.. Brandon have been wanting a sibling for a long time. And we have always wanted a big family.." Lena smiled at her wife knowing where this was heading. " Maybe we could try to be foster parents for a while" Stef said a little hasitant. Lena nodded hugging her wife

"Yes, Stef, absolutely , yes" she felt a tear fall down her cheek, she was just so happy that Stef wanted more kids. She really wanted a "kid of her own", sure Brandon was her son, but he had a father too. And those foster children didn't have anyone else so she could really be their mother.
