A/N: This chapter is based off a suggestion by a guest. I hope you like it. Thanks for the idea!

"What do you mean we can't go?" Mariana shrieked, staring at her moms. "That's not fair."

"Mariana, honey, we can't go until Callie and Jude get adopted," Stef tried to explain to the furious five year-old.

"I agree with Mariana, that's dumb," Jesus said, his arms crossed. "We've been waiting forever Mama."

"Well we could go to the zoo," Lena suggested. "Then after, we can go eat somewhere. We'll still go to Disneyland, just not this weekend."

"I'm cool with that," Brandon said, shrugging. "I like the zoo."

"Of course you do," Jesus said, rolling his eyes

"Hey! Leave your brother alone," Stef said, staring at Jesus. "I think it's nice that he's willing to give up something for the sake of Callie and Jude."

"Can't we just leave them here?" Mariana asked, her arms crossed like Jesus'. "Like grandma could watch them or something."

"You think that's fair, Mari?" Stef asked, somewhat mad. "Remember how we couldn't take you guys to Disneyland while we were fostering you and Jesus?"

"Mama," a small voice called from the hallway. It was without a doubt Callie's .

"Yes, honey?" Lena said. "What do you need?"

"What's Disneyland?" Callie asked.

"It's an amusement park that we're going to after you and Jude get adopted," Lena said, answering the girl's question. "Do you and Jude like the zoo?"

"We've never been," Callie replied. "We we're going to go for Jude's fourth birthday."

"Well how about we go tomorrow, okay?" Lena suggested and Callie nodded. After Callie left Lena said," We're going to the zoo!"

-the next day-

"Come on kids, we gotta go," Stef yelled, as she made sure that she had the wagon, for when the older kids get tired of walking, and the stroller for Jude. "We want to get there before it gets really busy."

Mariana came down the stairs with Jude holding her hand. Mariana was wearing a sundress with a matching sun hat. Jude was wearing a t-shirt and cloth shorts. Brandon followed after them with Jesus trailing behind him. Brandon, like Jide, was wearing a t-shirt and cloth shorts, but Jesus was wearing a tank top and basketball shorts. All three boys were wearing baseball caps. Callie came down last, wearing a t-shirt and girl shorts with her ponytail pulled through the back of the cap she was wearing.

"Are we ready, munchkins?" Lena asked, appearing at the front door with a cooler of drinks and snacks.

They all nodded and head out to the car. Stef started the car and they started the drive to the San Diego Zoo.

-linebreak-

The family of seven pulled up at the entrance and got out of the car. "All right, the zoo awaits."

"Mommy, what about sunscreen," Brandon asked, sticking his arms out. "I'm gonna get a sun burn."

"Okay, B," Stef said. "We are going to once we get in there. Callie and Jude, you guys will definitely need sunscreen too." Stef wasn't too worried about Mariana and Jesus because they tanned instead of burned like Brandon.

"I hate sunscreen," Jude said, complaining.

"Yeah," Callie said, agreeing. "Are you gonna take forever like our Mama did?"

"Well you gotta do what will keep you from getting hurt," Lena explained, holding Mariana's hand. "I'm pretty sure that you would rather take time putting on sunscreen instead of getting sunburned."

"Yeah," Callie said. "Can I hold your hand too, Mama?" Callie asked, reaching out to Lena's free hand.

"Yes, baby," Lena answered, holding onto Callie's hand, which upsetted Mariana.

"Mama, but I wanted to be the only one holding your hand," Mariana said. "I like holding your hand."

"Well Callie wants to, too," Lena a sweet, trying to close it down before a huge fight started. "You are both Mama's girls, so you both can hold my hand."

"No! First, we can't go to Disneyland, now Callies and Jude are your favorite!" Mariana said. "And I want my room back! I hate Callie!"

"Mariana!" Stef said, butting into the argument. "That is unacceptable young lady. That was very rude. You need to apologize!"

Callies lower lip quivered, and she had tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Callie," Mariana said, walking over to sister. "I didn't mean to make you sad. Can we still be friends?"

"Yes," Callie said, wiping her eyes. "Can I still be your sister?"

"Yep," Mariana answered, and the two girls hugged it out and continued to walk towards the zoo. Each holding one if Lena's hands.
