My Mom

"Baby, they need to check you" Lena says as takes Callie's face into both of her hands, after she makes sure Callie's arm is secure on the exam table. Looking into her eyes Lena is trying to get Callie to focus on what she is saying. When she sees how tired and stone Callie is she starts repeating the soothing sayings that had seemed to calm Callie when they had checked her back. Lena and Stef eyes meet and they convey how scared and worried they both are but also how relived that it isn't worse than what it is.

Callie tries to follow what Lena is saying but she can't seem to focus, on anything but the sound Stef's heart beat. Callie knows that she should be paying attention to what the doctor and nurse are doing but everything is so fuzzy and she is so tired. All she wants to do it lay right here and sleep but every time she closes her eyes she sees the flames and smells the smoke or hears Helen's screaming either from before Callie was able to find her in her room or the woman's wailing as Callie had dragged her out into the yard to wait for help.

Callie is not ready to face those memories yet, so she fights to stay awake. Both Moms notice this and share a look.

"It's ok Love, just close your eyes, we will be right here. Nothing bad is going to happen" Stef whispers to Callie.

"Cccantt" Callie mumbles as she weakly shakes her head.

"Why?" Stef asks her quietly

Callie starts to answer but instead goes into a coughing fit, which brings up icky from deep in Callie's lungs. Callie gets the oxygen mask off before she suffocates. Stef moves up with her holding on tightly, guiding her upper body to the side of the exam table. Where Lena who had seen what is happening and had grabbed the basin that was on the counter.

"It's ok, get it all out." Lena says as she tries to keep Callie's hair out of her face.

When the icky is done coming up,Callie's stomach turns causing dry heaves due the nausea that had come back the moment Callie had tried to get up when she had started coughing. Callie is paying for that distraction she isn't sure what hurts the most.

'UggggGGG, it hurtsSS!" Callie cries out between hitched breaths, as her head spins. "uggggggg"

The nurse gives Callie more meds through her IV port "This should help" she tells the Moms with a reassuring smile.

"I know Sweets, come on lay back down for me" Stef says to Callie as she guides them back to where they were before.

"sssorrrry" Callie croaks out as Lena places the oxygen mask back into place on Callie's tear soaked face.

"Nothing to be sorry about…can you work on your breathing again for me Baby" Stef asks as she holds the mask and Lena moves Callie hair off her forehead.

"In and out, just follow my breathing" Callie tries her best to follow what Lena eyes are telling her to do, because nothing is making sense.

After a few moments of Stef holding her and Lena helping her with her breathing Callie starts to calm down. The doctor and nurse move on with the exam and other than a few intense sharp pains when they exam something tender Callie makes it through it listening to Stef's heart beat and looking into Lena's loving eyes without another major episode.

When they came in to get X-rays, the Moms make eye contact because Lena can't be in here while they do them no matter how much she wants to, she can't take the chance and hurt the baby she is carrying.

"Baby I have to go outside for a few moments, while they take X-rays" Lena says in calm voice even thou on the inside she is anything but calm. Her heart hurt at having to leave her, even though she knew that Stef would protect Callie.

Callie didn't fully understand what Lena is telling her, she just knows Lena started to pull away from her. "Dooon't leave" Callie cries as she tries to get up "I go with you"

"No you got to stay here so that they can make you better" Lena says as she pushes the girl back down and Stef grabs hold of her tighter.

"Please I want to go home with you" Callie whines, as big tears run down her face. This is when the Moms realize that Callie is thinking that Lena is leaving her here.

"Baby, am not leaving, I am just stepping right outside." Lena says trying to explain, it is breaking her heart to look into Callie's sad puppy eyes and think she is the cause of any of the pain she saw in them.

"I am right here with you, she will be right back" Stef softly reminds Callie, when she sees Lena start to struggle with leaving. Stef didn't blame her, she isn't sure she would be strong enough to leave if their roles were reversed. Stef can tell that Callie is confuse and emotionally exhausted and is starting to get upset again, so she says the only thing she can think of "Momma needs to call and make sure your brothers and sister got home safe."

"Jude…Safe?' Callie mumbles out between hitched breaths. Neither Mom is surprised that Callie thought went straight to Jude.

Lena gives her a nod "I will not be but a few minutes"

Stef takes Callie's hand from Lena a gives her a nod, to go no reason to stretch this out. "You my friend have been missed, I need my Callie Girl snuggles" Stef says as she squeeze Callie tighter trying to distract her from Lena leaving. Callie isn't happy but she is just too tired to try to figure out anything other than Lena is making sure Jude is safe, so she lets herself go back into Stef, finding the soothing heartbeat of her Mom again

"I love you, Sweets" Stef says as she places another kiss to Callie's temple.

"I know" Callie whispers bring her nodding head down more into Stef

"Do you?" Stef says with a chuckle to Callie's answer.

Callie nods her head in response trying to get her thoughts together, but the best she can come up with is "My Mom"

"OOO Sweets yes I am forever" Stef says between laughing and crying, she thinks her heart is going to burst. She brings her Callie Girl in close for many kiss to her forehead and temple.
