Jude said heading for the door to finish his chore and helps the others to get to movie time faster. Stef took the opportunity of busy children to head upstairs and check on her wife and oldest daughter.

When Callie left the table she headed straight for her room, curling up under her comforter. It's not that it was cold but the darkness provided an unparalleled sense of comfort. She proceeded to let herself break down. Yes, she was happy for the chance to finally get adopted but she was terrified she wouldn't be able to survive another denial. Callie was also hoping she didn't shoot herself in the foot with the video she had posted, that still no one knew about.

Moments later there was a gentle knock at the door, the girl didn't even bother to respond. Lena let herself in, approaching the bed and softly sitting on the edge. It broke her heart to see her daughter crying, although she understood the court date was going to be hard.

"Sweetheart" Lena cooed while lifting the blanket and pulling Callie into her arms, situating her back against wall. Instead of fighting, the girl grasped onto the woman. Trying to stall her tears just made her panic more, she couldn't be seen this weak and vulnerable. Then again she never got to be a kid, sometimes she just needs comfort too. However juvenile she looked or felt at that moment, she didn't care. The fear of what the judge will say ruled her emotional state at the moment. Lena just held the girl close, wishing she could have been there to comfort her when her parents died, that she could already be adopted, more than anything that she could protect her from the world.

"My love, you need to take a few deep breaths okay?" Lena kept her voice low and calm while rocking the girl gasping in her arms. "It's okay to cry and be scared and whatever else you're feeling, but you need to breathe."

For her part Callie was trying, but panic was still taking over her basic functions. She was grasping onto whatever could ground her, literally as Lena's shirt was held in her fists. The tears were still falling, she she was trying to breathe as the world was turning blurry.

"Breathe with me" Lena encouraged as she took some deep breaths, finally the girl started following suit. "You're doing great. In... Out... Great job my love. Just keep breathing."

After a few moments between the deep breaths and the steady rocking Callie dozed off in the womans arms.

Lenas heart broke at the situation, she didn't think the news would be taken so hard. She was also worried that the adoption would be turned down again, but more than that she was hopeful that this would be past them and the adoption would be approved. Clearly the girl didn't share that hope.

Moments later the door squeaked open again and Stef entered. "How's it going in here?" Stef whispered.

"She finally fell asleep after a panic attack" Lena whispered. "She's still got me in a death grip, but if it helps her feel better, I don't mind."

"She talk at all?" Stef said scooting up on the bed next to her wife, rubbing circles on the girls back.

"Never got the chance love."

"We need to talk with her before she works herself up more." Stef stated.

"You're right." Lena said while removing the girls hands from her shirt. "Honey, you have to wake up." she said while brushing hair from Callie's face.

"Sleeeeep" The girl whined. "No wake, mommy" She mumbled while curling back into the woman. Stef couldn't help but to laugh at the antics, it wasn't often enough they got to see their daughter uninhibited.

"Baby, you have to wake up." Stef encouraged "We need to have a talk." Callie, though still dazed, sat up while staying on Lena, she didn't want to move from the comfort being provided.

"Can you tell us what you're thinking bug?" Lena asked. Callie just shook her head, not trusting words when she was trying not to start crying again. The tears started to fall again despite her best efforts to hold them back.

"It's scary, yes? Having another court date so soon?" Stef started, Callie giving a little nod. "But, its a good scary. It's a heart beating fast but after it's over you're happy you did it scary. Because after this is over it will all be official." She continued, the girl just shrugged.

"Are you afraid to get adopted?" Lena asked, the was a head shake. "You're afraid he'll say no?" A nod was the only response.

"Callie. You have to look at me because this is very important." Stef was stern while catching the teens eyes. "Even if he said no, which he will not, we will not stop until you are adopted. You are our daughter and we will not let you go."

"He's going to say no and take me away." Callie whispered, barely audible.

"He's not going to. And even if the judge says no, you're not going anywhere, our fostering license is renewed." Stef tried to calm the girl.

"You don't understand." Callie was getting herself worked up again.

"Take a deep breath then try to tell us what you mean then."

"I did something. He's not going to like it."

Sharing a concerned look with her wife Lena couldn't help but ask "what did you do?"

Getting off the bed Callie grabbed her laptop and loaded the page. She handed the machine over to the women, crawled back on the bed and wrapped herself in the blanket, refusing to sit close enough to the women for contact. At that moment she felt like she deserved to be alone, she was worried about their reaction but knew this would mess everything up.

The moms grasped hands, and together they hit play.
