The Fosters: Luv of a Family

Chapter One: "Runner"

Authors Note: Hey, everyone this is my first "Fosters" fanfic. I really love the show and when I saw the episode where Liam came back into Callie's life I got an idea to write this fic of how it would have played out if he had gotten to Callie a little bit more. How the family would have handled the situation if Callie and Jude had already been adopted by Stef and Lena. I hope you like it. You all know by now that I love hearing your thoughts, suggestions, etc. so comments are welcome and appreciated.

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own "Fosters" or its amazing characters. They are owned by Jennifer Lopez and the rest of the gang behind the scenes. Jennifer Lopez is however doing an amazing job and I am/forever will be jealous! ;) Enjoy

All my Love,

Hope

It was a lukewarm summer-like day one that had started out as any other in the Foster household. Stef and Lena were in the kitchen making breakfast for their five children as they dragged themselves out of bed. "Marianna!" they had heard being shouted from upstairs. "Here we go again, Love" Stef whispered to Lena with a wink. "Yeah, but just think, babe, if they weren't like this then something would be wrong." "Very true, hon, but some days it is just done too early for my liking." she replied the truthful yet somewhat sarcastic comment to her wife. "Fosters! Lets go, we don't want your breakfast getting cold or you being late for school!" Stef yelled upstairs which was followed by the sound of thudding like a herd of elephants as their children made their way downstairs. "Good Morning, my lovelies, how nice of you to join us!" Stef said enthusiastically. "Yeah, mhmm, morning." were the grumbled responses form the five children. "Hey, umm, Mama?" "Yes, Callie, what it is, Sweetie?" "I was wondering, if you'd be okay with me taking advantage of this day and going for a run after school?" "Sure, I don't' see a problem with that just be sure to get your homework done. I also would like you to eat and drink something as well as shoot me a text before leaving the house, please." "Not a problem and thanks, mama." "You are welcome, honey. Where are you thinking of running?" "I was just going to run around the park. Maybe even sit by the river for a while." "That sounds nice. Be home by five fifteen the latest." "Will do. I hope you have a good day at work," "Thanks, babe, have a good day at school. I love you." "I love you, too. Bye, Jude, see you later, buddy." "Bye, Cal."

Callie's day was going fine. She received an A on her English paper and a B+ on her history paper. History had always been a very difficult subject for Callie so she was proud of herself and not to mention thrilled about going home and showing her moms. 'Moms' it had a nice ring to it. She was now in her fifth period class which was Math; it bored her. It usually didn't, but today it had as she stared aimlessly out the window seeing the sunshine imagining running in her shorts and tank top, sticky with sweat, and feeling the nice cool breeze hit her face. It makes her body sunders as she ran from the blast. Callie had always LOVED to run, the feel of her heartbeat making her feel alive, refreshed after she was finished, her mind a little hazy. It was a distraction from whatever problems were pulled to the surface in whatever foster home she had been in at the time. Callie had considered trying out for track multiple times and always decided against it due to fear of being someone's new sports object. When Callie thinks about that all that goes to her mind is not fun it is of people telling you what to eat, where, how in shape you have to be in order to be the best. It is just a turn off to her at that point. She will respectfully decline the offer.

It was finally the end of the day. The best part was that her last class was given a free period in which she took the liberty to do her homework in. once Brandon dropped her off at home Callie changed into her running clothes then managed to have an apple, banana, a protein shake as well as drink what felt like her fifteenth water bottle that day. She quickly texted her moms before heading out. "Hey, going out for my run. No worries, left had free last period so did all homework. I left it on my desk for you two to look over. I ate, no worries about that either. I had an apple, banana and a bottle of water. I got my phone, mini backpack with water and some granola bars. Love you talk to you later. Xx-Callie" "Love you, too, be careful, babe. See you later. Xx- Stef" "Love ya, too, be safe, Sweetie. Xx-Lena"

Callie set out on her run; she was planning on running four miles. She missed the way it felt to run. The way the music pumped into her ears and urged her to run faster to the beat. It released her stress and cleared her mind. She felt like she was on a cloud, gliding through the sky. It felt great to clear her mind when it had become a mess… as she had two in a half miles in she needed to stop for a minute. The June's heat was gaining on her. Callie still had her headphones in her ears, blaring her music as she took a cool refreshing drink of water. She did not hear the approach of someone coming up behind her. All Callie felt was a pull around her neck and a cloth being placed over her nose and mouth. The last thing that entered Callie's mind was the thought of her love for her family, the ones who took her in and managed to love her enough despite her scars and past experiences to adopt her and her brother Jude. The thought that she might never see them again as her world turned in black nothingness.

~That's the end of chapter one people. I hope you liked it comments are welcome. I hope to hear from you all soon. Again, I sadly do not own "The Fosters" or its wonderfully, talented characters. I am just borrowing them for some dramatic entertainment that we can never get enough of. I will hopefully be working on chapter two soon. If you have an suggestions, ideas shoot em my way.
