Okay so this is my first chapter, it is based on what I think is going to happen. If you like it I will continue. I must have watched the promo like 10 times while writting this. Hope you like it.

I don't own The Fosters.


The sun of the new morning beamed into the room of Stef and Lena. The warmth of the light woke Lena from her sleep, feeling her wife next to her, she smiled. Wife, that was a word she would never get tired of. Lena tightened her grip on Stef and snuggled closer to her, Stef responded by pushing back against her. Now it was the warmth of Stef's flesh waking her. "Good morning." Lena mumbled in her partner's ear.

Stef rolled over to face her new wife and greeted her with a kiss. "Morning." She said against Lena's lips. She pulled back to gaze upon her, her beautiful dark skin seemed to glow in the sun light. Both girls began to smile at each other, the events of yesterday swimming in their heads. "I suppose we should get ready for the day. As a family." Lena inched closer, finally together as more than just domestic partners and now with Callie and Jude being officially invited into the Foster family.

The newlyweds pulled themselves out of the bed and into the day.


Stef began pulling the bowls down from the cupboard for the Fosters' breakfast. Setting them up on the table for the five hungry kids about to descend the stairs.

Just as she thought it Jesus rolled in on his skateboard, picking up a box of Fruit Loops on the way to the table. "No boarding in the house." Stef called out, Jesus jumped off and mumbled a sorry with his mouthful of dry cereal. He took his usual place at the table and poured himself a full bowl of cereal.

Brandon was next, giving both his moms a hug in passing.

"Morning." Jude said to everyone as he entered, with a smile lighting his way as usual. Brandon noticed Jude giving him a look as he reached for the milk, Brandon suddenly took great interest in his bowl. He still couldn't believe what happened between him and Callie yesterday, but Jude did not seem impressed.

"So moms how does it feel to finally get to call each other wife?" Brandon asked looking to Lena.

The largest smile crept upon her face. "Amazing." She moved closer to Stef and went in for a hug.

Mariana danced her way in the kitchen. "Morning Miss. Thing." Stef handed her a bowl.

"Morning." Mariana reached past her twin to take his cereal box, he reached to stop her but she won, then stuck her lounge out at him.

Stef took the last bowl and put it in Callie's place next to her brother. "Is Callie on her way down?"

Mariana looked up from her cereal. "What do you mean?" She looked to Stef then to Lena, they didn't seem to know. "She isn't up there, I assumed she was already down here." Mariana looked around at everyone at the table, no one spoke up. "She isn't down here?"

"No," Stef said with a worried look. "The house was dead when we got up." Everyone sat silently, Jude was the first to move, dropping his spoon and bolting up the stairs. Brandon followed close behind and the rest of the Fosters made their way to the room Mariana shared with Callie.

He stood in the middle of the room, looking unsure of what to do. He marched to the closet and pulled it open, Callie's side was empty. He ran to the dresser and fell to his knees, pulling the drawers free, empty. Jude looked from the drawers to the crowd of people pooled at the door. "She ran away." He slammed the drawers shut and slowly melted from his knees to the floor. "She left...she is gone." He said while tears began to sting his eyes.

"Hey sweetie," Lena said getting down to his level. "I'm sure she hasn't gotten far, we will find her."

Lena moved closer to pull Jude into her.

"Okay everyone, family meeting, kitchen now." Stef said to all the kids, leaving Lena to get Jude calmed down.


Jesus sat next to Jude, and Mariana was across from Jude. He wasn't as close to Callie as his other siblings but that didn't mean he didn't care. Stef was pacing the kitchen, seeming to be trying to work things out in her mind. Lena was leaning close to Jude, in case he needed her. Brandon barged in the kitchen with Callie's guitar in hand. "I found this on the stand in my room." He placed it in the center of the table and took up the seat next to Mariana.

"We tried calling her," Mariana told Brandon, she held up the phone Stef gave Callie. "She left it behind as well."

The front door opened and everyone jumped. Turning to see if it was her.

Stef's mother came in followed by Lexi. "She was here while I came up." Sharon said. "Stef Hun I checked all the places you asked but I couldn't find her."

"Thanks for trying." Stef replied. Her mother took the seat next to Brandon and Lexi moved next to Jesus, taking his hand in hers. "I just don't get it." Stef said walking around the table. "We just told her we wanted to adopt her." This sentence was directed to her wife. Lena just shrugged, speechless. Jude looked down and Lena moved to the table, leaning down to him. "Jude?" She called to him, he didn't move. "Jude?" She said softer, the boy looked up at her. "Everything is going to be okay, I promise." Jude nodded at her and looked back down.

"What about Wyatt?" Lexi mentioned. The family looked to her. "He is in one of my friend's classes, he was leaving this weekend, moving to Indiana."

Brandon was the first to reach for Callie's phone. Tapping on the screen, then placing it to his ear. Everyone was silent as he did so. "Wyatt, this is Brandon. Call me back as soon as you get this." He put down the phone. "Voice mail."

"Okay, okay. I think it is time we just go, keep your phones on and any place you can think she might be check it." Stef nodded at her own idea. "Mom you stay here with Jude incase she comes home. Brandon, give me the phone, if Wyatt calls I'll let you guys know." Stef walked up to Jude. "We will find her, we will bring your sister home." If it were under different terms, Jude would love to smile at her use of home but this was not the time.

Stef grabbed her keys and walked to the door, Lena followed behind her. Jesus and Lexi got up to. "We can check some places around town. Mariana you coming?" Jesus asked her. She got up and joined them. Leaving Brandon and Jude sitting at the table with Sharon. Brandon was just starring at the guitar in the middle of the table. Sharon took the boys' silence as a sign to leave them be. Her grandson was more upset about this then the others, almost as much as Jude. Both boys need their space.

"Listen Jude," Brandon began. Jude slammed his hands on the table and got up. He marched out of the kitchen and into the dinning room. Brandon caught up with him grabbed his arm. "Jude please."

Jude turned and crossed his arms. "What?!"

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry, this is all my fault,"

"She has never left before, no matter how angry we got at each other, she never left." He was almost shouting. "She said she wasn't going to be selfish anymore, you couldn't leave so she had too." Brandon let him vent, until Jude stomped out of the room and up the stairs. Leaving Brandon wondering, if breaking the dam had caused flood. And if there was a way to seal it before it hit the town. But mostly he just wondered where Callie was and hoped she was okay.


Don't think Jude is blaming Brandon, it is just how he feels in the moment. But please let me know what you think.
