Author'S Note:
I thought I would give you something cute to
read after the trauma of Chapter 10.
I hope you like!
Lena and Stef were looking through a photo album Callie had given them. It was sent to her from Donald. Callie looked at them with Jude then gave the album to her Moms to look at. The album was filled with baby pictures of Callie and Jude. They were so adorable.
Lena and Stef smiled as they came across a picture of two year old Callie wrapped up in a blanket, probably taking a nap. She had her eyes closed, and a pacifier in her mouth. Her brown hair all over the place.
"I wish we had raised her." Lena said with a sigh.
"I know love. I do too, but we're raising her now." Stef pressed a kiss to Lena's cheek.
"Can you imagine what it would've been like to raise Baby Callie?" Lena asked.
Stef nodded. "I guess it would've been like this.."
Baby Callie squealed and giggled as her Mommy Stef tickled her while dressing her for the day. "Okay Callie all done baby." She said with a kiss to her cheek.
"Otay Mommy!" Callie exclaimed.
Stef laughed and kissed her head. Lena walked up and stood at the doorway watching Stef interact with their baby daughter.
"Mama!" Callie cheered. She hadn't seen her in ages. She missed her. The last time she saw her Mama was when she tucked her in last night. "Hi Mama!" She smiled a toothy grin.
Lena beamed as she made her way over to Callie. "Good morning baby girl." She picked her up and kissed all over her face, making the toddler giggle. "Did you sleep good last night?"
"Uh huh! Lots a good dweams Mama!"
"Well that is very good baby. Let's go eat breakfast. I'm sure you're starving." Lena said as she carried Callie down to the kitchen. Stef following behind her making funny faces at the tiny brunette.
"Mommy? Bubba?" Callie asked with a pout. She looked around the kitchen for Brandon, seeing that he wasn't there.
"Brandon is with his daddy, princess. He'll be back before you know it. So no more pouting okay?" Stef kissed her cheek. She just couldn't stop giving her little girl kisses. Lena couldn't either. They had loved Callie since the first time they saw her.
Two years ago they had seen a little brunette baby that had been left in an empty house. They instantly fell in love with the little girl and adopted her as soon as they could. Brandon loved being her big brother. He is only a year older than Callie, but that didn't stop him from stepping up and being the best big brother anyone could ask for. Callie adored him and followed him everywhere.
Callie nodded. Her pout turning into a smile when she noticed that Stef was staying for breakfast. "Mommy no work?" She tilted her little head giving Stef a sideways grin.
Stef returned the grin, "No baby, Mommy doesn't work today. I'm here all day with you and Mama."
Callie squealed and clapped. She didn't like it when her mommy went to work. It meant she wouldn't see her again until bedtime. She was excited to have a day to play with her two mommies. "Yay!"
Lena laughed and gave Callie a handful of Cheerios and a sippy cup of juice while she started making pancakes.
"Mommy!"
"Yes?"
"Teewio!" Callie giggled as she put a cheerio into her mouth.
"I see baby." Stef chuckled knowing how exciting Cheerios can be for a toddler.
"Mommy!" Callie's exclaimed again.
"Yes Callie?"
"Teewio!" Callie giggled again, clearly amused by the attention she was getting from Stef.
"Yes, I know." Stef said with a laugh. How did she get so lucky as to have an actual ray of sunshine for a daughter. She couldn't imagine life without Callie, and she didn't want to.
Once naptime rolled around all hell broke loose. Callie was running around the house screaming and throwing a fit. Stef and Lena struggling to get a hold of her.
"Callie Quinn Adams Foster, that is enough young lady." Stef said with a stern tone that she hardly ever had to use with her children.
Callie paused, standing completely still, looking up at her mothers with wide eyes. Her sippy cup and her blanket hit the floor. She didn't like when Mommy used her scary voice. It meant she was being bad. Her little lips quivered, as her eyes began to water. She let out a high pitched cry as the waterworks began.
Stef knew she was only acting this way because she was tired. She watched as Lena scooped the little girl up in her arms. They gave each other a nod, mutually agreeing to let Callie cry it out until she fell asleep.
Stef picked up Callie's blanket and her cup. She followed behind Lena as they went to their bedroom. Lena laid down with Callie on her chest. Her little hand resting over Lena's heart, as her cries calmed into sniffles. Lena kissed her head, running her fingers through Callie's short brown locks. Stef laid beside them, putting Callie's pacifier in her mouth, and wiping away the tears that stained her adorably chubby cheeks. It wasn't long until Callie was sleeping peacefully on Lena's chest. Once Callie was asleep Lena laid her in her crib, and went on to get as many chores done as she could before the little girl woke up again.
"Even in your imagination you give out thousands of kisses." Lena smiled as she looked up at her wife.
"Of course I do. I love giving out kisses." Stef pressed a kiss to Lena's head.
"Where were the twins and Jude in your fantasy?" Lena couldn't help but ask.
"We hadn't adopted the twins yet, and Jude wasn't born until after Callie's third birthday." Stef explained.
Lena nodded. "That makes sense⦠kind of.." Lena sighed. "I don't mind that we didn't get to raise Callie from a baby, I love her just the way she is now."
"I agree love."
