Us Home

Lena came back into the room as they were cleaning up from putting a cast on Callie's broken arm. They had removed the oxygen mask from Callie's face and she is breathing on her own. Stef gives Lena a warm loving look and has a goofy grin on her face. Lena takes all this has great signs of improvement, as retakes her seat next to them.

Callie is still fighting sleep and her half closed eyes are intently watching the tech finish her cast "Baby, you ok?" Lena asks as she gentle takes her Callie's hand back from Stef , weaving their fingers together.

Callie slowly turns her head, unsteadily moving her newly minted casted arm with her to show Lena "I broke it" she says in a low very slurry voice "I was good…purple" Callie tries to explain to Lena

"I see that" Lena says with a proud smile to what she is now certain is a heavily stoned Callie. Lena gently reaches out and guides the casted arm down to the pillows before Callie can do any more damage to it.

"She did such a good job that she got to pick the color" the Tech says with a knowing smile as she packs up her tools before she leaves.

"Yes, she was good, so good in fact that we are just waiting on the discharge papers to take my Callie Girl home" Stef says with a smirk on her face.

Lena gives Stef a look that says we need to talk, Stef gives her a slight nod but doesn't lose her smile which makes Lena wonder what transpired while she was gone to make Stef in this good of a mood after the long night they all had.

"Us home? Callie asks in the same slurred voice.

Lena hated to do this but Bill was insistent that he talk to Callie tonight, before he would allow them to take her home with them. When she had tried to get more information out of Bill he had just held up his hand to stop her. Saying he was sorry but that the review for their license wasn't random and that he had to do his job. Lena said she understood but that he need to realized Callie is very traumatized with a concussion and that he better use kid gloves with her baby. To which Bill has assured her with a smile that he would, that he defiantly didn't want to get on the wrong side of her wife. Lena really wishes she could talk it out with Stef before Bill got involved again. But he did call Stef when he found out Callie was hurt so she took that as he is on their side if it came down to that.

"Baby, Mr. Bill wants to talk to you, before we leave is it ok?" Lena asks. Callie debates this over in her head like she has a choice. "Sweets he has waited outside for a long time to make sure you are ok; it wouldn't be nice not to see him" Stef adds

Callie gives a slight nod to as she turns and snuggles down into Stef more. When Lena let's go of her hand to go get Bill, Callie wraps it around Stef and holds on tightly to her shirt. Stef can feel her start to shake.

"Whats wrong Baby?" Stef as quietly asks

"Don't be mad" Callie whispers

"You are safe Sweets and that's all that matters don't worry; it's going to be ok." Stef says as tries to reassure Callie. Stef is assuming that Callie feels that Stef is still angry that DSS who is in this case is Bill had taken her from them. Stef knew that as medicated has Callie is at this point that an in-depth conversation between them and Bill about the situation is not in Callie's best interest.

Lena walks in with Bill behind her; she takes her seat next to Stef and Callie. Bill stops at the bottom of the table and shares a nod in greeting to Stef.

"Hi, Callie how are you doing?" Bill asks while trying to engage the girl looking over her injuries. When Callie doesn't answer he continues "Well you have had a long night so I will try to keep this short but we need clear up some things it shouldn't take long. We need to talk do you want it to just be us?"

For the first time Callie acknowledges Bill is in the room and with panic in her eyes that he might send them away from her she says in slurred panicked raspy voice "They stay" as she hangs on tighter to Stef.

"Ok they can stay, Callie do you want to go with Lena and Stef?" Bill asks "Do you feel safe there?"

"My Moms" Callie says in the same raspy voice as she nods her head. "Us home"

"Ok, that's what I needed to know, for tonight. Ladies here is your renewal on your license." Bill says smiling has he hands them some documents "I had to do something while I waited"

"Thank you" both Moms say with smiles on their faces.

Bill turns back to Callie and says in a serious voice "Young Lady you need to soak up all this good love because you are not off the hook with me or I am sure not your Moms after they find out what you have done." Callie hides down in Stef with tears in her eyes. "I suggest you tell them before I do" Callie gives Bill a slight nod.

"I will set up to get extra appointments with Dr. Kodma for her." Bill says as he takes his leave with Lena walking him out the door. "I will be by to check in later in the week. You have a good kid there, impulsive as hell but a good kid." Bill whispers the last part to Lena with a smile and a wink.

"Cal I believe you got some explaining to do" Stef says but makes up her mind when she sees Lena turn around and give her the Its ok, we can deal with it later look that they can deal with it when they wasn't so emotionally drained tomorrow. "But how about we get you home first"

Callie gives a slight nod but doesn't raise her head from Stef's chest. She keeps her eyes down or closed anywhere but where the Moms are able to grab her line of sight for the rest of the wait for her discharge papers and scripts luckily for her it is a short one.

When it is finally time for Callie to get into the scrubs that the nurse had brought in for her due to her clothes being un-wearable, Callie lets the Moms move her to get her dress while she tried her best to ignore the sharp pains that brought on the nausea when she is moved a certain way.

When they stand her up to get her into the car, her whole world spins and before she knows it she on her knees puking up her guts with a Mom on each side of her trying to get her threw it. When she is done Lena gets into the back seat with her, bringing her into her arms hug her tightly as Stef drives them home. Lena tells her how much everyone as missed her and going to be so happy to see her. But all Callie can think of is keep her eyes closed so that she didn't puke again.

By the time that they are home Callie has falling asleep. Stef gets out and opens the opposite door from Lena and leans in to give first Callie than her wife a kiss.

When Stef pulls back she can't keep a smile of her face and she can't keep it in any longer "Babe, she call me her Mom, straight out." which brings happy tears first to Stef eyes as she is remembering it and to Lena's as Stef shared. "She might not say it when she is gets sober but I know what is in her heart."

"OO Baby, I am so happy you got your Mom moment, it doesn't surprise me that your Mini-Me would be the first to give you the Mom moment first out of all our kids." Lena says smiling. The Moms share another kiss or three.

"Speaking of secrets our little SlugaBug has been a busy secretive little bug." Lena says with a smile."Bill couldn't give me all the details about tonight except Callie went back in the burning house and saved the lady she was staying with."

"Really?" Stef asks as she looks down on her sleeping child, thinking how close they could have came to permanently loosing her.

Lena nods to Stef and then can't help but tease "Yes, like her Mom an Impulsive Hero Complex is my diagnoses, it must run in the family" as she leans in for another kiss.

"We will defiantly be discussing that with her, but I think we need to leave out your diagnoses for the sake of discipline and order." Stef says trying to keep a straight face, but cant. Lena knows that smirk and twinkle in Stef's eyes she is proud of Callie and that the girl is so much like her.

The door to the house opens and all the kids come running out to greet those in the car especially Callie. But the Moms know that Callie is in no shape for visitors and defiantly wouldn't want her siblings to see her like this.

Stef intercepts them before they can make it off the porch to the car. She sends all of them to the pharmacy to pick up Callie's script and to pick up dinner, everyone moves to B's car to carry out their assigned task without hesitation except Jude who will not move until Stef takes him by the shoulders and walks him to the car "She is fine Baby promise, we just need to get her settled before you see her." Stef tells him with a reassuring smile. Jude has tears in his eyes, he has been so worried. He doesn't like not being able to see Callie for himself but goes into the back seat next Mari when she reaches over and holds his hand.

Once the kids are around the out of eyesight, Stef returns to the car to help get Callie upstairs. Between Lena and Stef they are able to get Callie half way up the stairs before Callie stirs. Callie feels like she is floating and no matter how hard she tries she can't get her legs to cooperate with what she is telling them to do. The next thing she knew they were laying her down in their bed.

"Not baby…my bed" Callie is able to mumble out as she tried to get up to go to her bed.

It is obvious to both Moms that Callie really isn't in any shape to go anywhere. "No Sweets, you are staying in here tonight Mom and I have missed you" Lena says as she guilds Callie head back down onto the middle pillows in their bed, sliding into next to her. "Shhh, let me hold you"

Stef slides in on her side of the bed, and scoots as close as she dared to Callie being mind full of the burns on her back. Stef reaches across her and grabs Lena's hand interlocking their fingers as they try to cat nap before the other kids got back. Both Moms are thankful and relived that they finally had their daughter back.

About an hour later Stef and Lena is woken up by the bed room door slowly being open. And not one but four heads pop around the door frame with worried looks on their faces.

"It ok, you can come in just keep it down we don't want to wake her." Lena says with a smile to her children as they come in.

Jesus who is dancing on the balls of his feet nervously breaks the silence and asks "Is she ok?"

"Yes, she is going to be." Stef says but continues when she see her kids faces she knows she is going to have to go into more detail "She as a broken arm, a concussion, which is going to cause her head to hurt, so let's keep the noise down and could also cause her to be confused for a couple of days, we will need to be careful with her lungs and make sure she takes her inhalers when she needs to and some burns we will need to be careful with. But over all she is ok."

The older boys look satisfied with the answer and after a few minutes of catching up they left going their separate ways. Marianne needs a little more reassurance but after watching Callie sleep peaceful for a few minutes she gives her Moms a kiss good night and waits for Jude to finish saying good night and they make their way out of the bedroom. Jude stops one more time at the door to check Callie.

"It's ok Buddy, she just needs her Moms" Lena says softly
