I hope you guys enjoy. It is a pretty long chapter. I decided not to split it up. It's the last one in this episode!

By the way I don't own the Fosters. If I did I think I would have an infinite amount of cool points!

Episode 14 Chapter 6

Frank was now inside the Adams Foster house. Lena had walked into the kitchen to give them some time to talk.

Stef didn't know what to say. She hadn't seen him since before the wedding. It had not been a pleasant conversation for either one of them.

"Dad," she started to speak.

"No Stef, let me talk." Frank looked down at the ground and then back at his daughter. She looked exactly like she had when she was a teenager. "I need to say what is on my mind."

"Okay." Stef was waiting. She looked at her dad. She felt like she was a teenager again.

"I'm sorry."

Stef just looked at him. There had to be some kind of catch. He wasn't one to apologize. He was a stubborn man.

"I have always been set in my beliefs. And to be honest I always will be." Frank took a breath. He wanted to make sure he found the right words. He didn't want to screw it up. "But I don't think that God would want me to lose any more time with my daughter. I love you Stef. I want you to know that. And when I pray for you Stef I no longer pray that you magically fall in love with a man…I know that isn't going to happen. I now pray that you are happy."

Stef didn't say anything. She just listened.

"I know that Lena makes you happy, and Callie told me that should be the only thing that matters."

"Callie? My Callie?" Stef was confused. Had Callie gone to see Frank?"

"I stopped by today. She helped me realize that I was missing precious time with my daughter."

"Callie is a smart girl."

"Yeah. You are lucky to have found her. She reminds me a lot of you at that age."

Stef smiled. She could see that. She and Callie were similar in many ways. Callie should have mentioned that Frank stopped by. She would have to let her know about it when she got home.

"I still believe that marriage is made for a man and a woman."

"Dad."

"But I love you Stef, and I think you are who you are supposed to be with Lena. She makes you smile just like your mother used to do for me." Frank smiled. "You and Lena are good people, good parents, and I am proud to call you my daughter."

Stef felt tears forming in her eyes. That was the nicest thing that he had ever said to her. She was almost afraid it was a dream.

"Can we try this father/daughter thing again? I miss you."

Stef nodded. "Sure dad. I'd like that." Stef choked up.

"Good."

Stef hugged her father. She knew that he was still stubborn, and they would still have their disagreements. But at least they would always have this moment. She probably had Callie to thank for that.

"I want to show you something." Frank walked to the door. "Lena," he called for her.

A few moments later Lena walked in.

"What is it dad?" Stef crossed her arms. What was he up to?

"Sharon told me that you were having car trouble."

"Mike was able to fix the car." Stef informed him.

"Well even so. You are a family of seven. You need another vehicle." Frank pointed to the car in their driveway.

"What's that?"

"Your new car."

"No dad. You did not have to do that." Stef told him. She couldn't believe he had bought them a car.

"I know that Stef. I don't have to do anything. I wanted to do this. Consider it a late wedding present or something."

Stef and Lena shared looks. Lena was okay with accepting it. They really did need another car. They could give Brandon Stef's car once he was no longer grounded.

"Stef, it is a gift. Just say thank you." Frank told her.

Stef looked at Lena again. "Thank you, dad." She knew they could use another car. It would really help them out. And at least her dad was trying.

Emma helped Jesus up. "Are you crazy Vico? Why did you do that?" Emma was furious.

"Initiation." Vico laughed. Some of the guys high fived him. "It is all in good fun."

"You are so stupid." Emma pushed him. "This is not normal." She looked at Jesus. "Are you okay?"

Jesus nodded as he wiped away the blood. He didn't want Vico to know that it hurt. "I'm fine. No big deal."

"You are officially apart of the team." Vico informed him as he and the other guys walked off.

"Let's just get out of here." Jesus continued to wipe the blood off of his nose.

"Yeah let's go." Emma was so mad. Vico was so stupid.

Callie was helping Ryan with the snacks. "You know you don't have to help with this. You aren't getting hours."

"That's okay with me. I don't mind helping."

"This is my favorite thing we do here. It is usually a lot of fun." Ryan smiled. "You've been a big help Callie. I'm glad that you have to do community service here."

"Me too." Callie smiled back at him.

"Callie…Callie…" Kiara called her. "This is Daphne."

Daphne walked up behind Kiara.

Callie turned around. Her mind flashed back to her last day in juvie. Daphne was the girl who pushed her down and hit her.

Daphne remembered her too.

"I've got to go." Callie ran out.

Kiara looked at Daphne. "What did you do to her?"

"She's the girl that I beat up while I was in juvie."

"Oh."

"I'm going to go find her." Ryan ran after her.

Daphne never thought she would ever see Callie again.

"This is a small world." Kiara pointed out. Daphne shook her head. She was so good at pointing out the obvious.

"Did you get your dad home?" Lena asked as Stef walked into the house. Stef had taken him home and brought their new car back.

"Yes."

"It was really of sweet of him."

"Yeah."

"What's wrong?"

Stef sat down on the couch next to Lena. "My dad said he talked to Callie today."

"Our Callie?"

"Yes. I asked him the same thing. Evidentially she helped him see the light."

"Well then I think we owe her."

"Yes." Stef kissed Lena's cheek. "I hope my dad is for real this time."

"I think he is." Lena rubbed Stef's shoulders. "It was really nice of him to give us the car. Brandon will be happy to have an extra one."

"After his punishment?"

"Yes. He can drive it after his punishment."

They were both quiet for a moment.

"Lena, I want to talk to you about the baby."

"Stef, we don't have to talk about it. I told you it wasn't a big deal."

"But it is a big deal Lena. We both know that. And it isn't good to throw it to the side like it isn't."

"Stef I…"

She is interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Maybe it is your dad with another car." Lena laughed.

Stef got up and walked to the door.

It was Lauren. "May I help you?"

"Yes. I was hoping I could see Brandon."

"He isn't here and even if he were he is grounded."

"Lauren," Lena walked up behind Stef.

"Mrs. Adams." Lauren put on her best fake smile.

"Adams Foster." Stef corrected.

"Right…Right…You two finally made it official."

"Yes I guess you could say that." Stef looked at her awkwardly. "I'm sorry we can't let you in. But maybe when Brandon isn't grounded you can come over for dinner."

"Yeah….I would totally love that. Thanks so much…Will you at least tell Brandon that I stopped by?"

"Of course." Lena told her.

"Alright. Well you two have a goodnight."

"Goodnight." Stef closed the door. "Whoa. That's Brandon's new girlfriend?"

Lena nodded.

"I think I hate her."

"Stef, hate is a very strong word."

"I dislike her an awful a lot. I think I could smell a little alcohol on her breath."

"She has parental issues." Lena told her. "Hopefully Brandon is just going through a phase."

"I sure hope so. That girl is a mess." Stef chuckled as they walked back into the living room.

Callie was sitting outside on one of the benches. She really couldn't escape her past. It wasn't fair. She just wanted to move on with her life.

"Callie," Ryan said as he approached. "Are you okay?"

Callie didn't say anything.

Ryan sat beside her. "Daphne said that she knew you."

"She doesn't know me." Callie mumbled. She had tears in her eyes. "I'm so tired of running into my past every time I try to move on with my future."

"I know that you probably don't want to hear this…."

"Then don't say it." Callie interrupted him.

Ryan didn't listen. "Daphne is also trying to move on with her life. She isn't the same person that you met in juvie." Ryan pushed a stray hair out of her face. "The two of you are on similar journeys. She hasn't gotten as lucky as you though."

"What do you mean?"

"She is a part of the emancipated minor program. She has a little girl that was taken from her. She works her butt off so that one day she can get her back."

Callie didn't say anything.

"One of the hardest things to do is forgive. I think that if the two of you actually got to know each other you might actually be friends."

Callie didn't know about that. She didn't see herself being friends with someone that beat her up. "I was so scared that day. I didn't know what was going to happen to me once I got out. I didn't know if I would ever get back to Jude." Callie's tears kept falling. "You are right. I am very lucky to have found the Fosters. They gave me hope when there was none. For the first time in a long time I'm excited about my future."

"You should be. You have a bright one ahead of you." Ryan smiled. "You are amazing Callie. I know you don't think that, but you are. I hope one day you can see what I see."

Callie smiled.

"There it is. That beautiful smile." Ryan knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't stop himself. He leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Jude had walked outside. He rolled his eyes and walked back inside. Callie always knew how to pick the wrong guys.

"I'm sorry."

"No. Don't apologize." Callie leaned in and kissed him on the lips. He kissed her back.

Jesus and Emma were outside of the arcade. "We should call your moms." Emma told him.

"No way. They would freak out."

"They should. Vico is such an idiot. Besides you are not going to be able to hide this from them." She pointed at his face. "It is obvious that you've been punched in the face."

"I'll tell them you did it." Jesus joked. "They won't be mad at you."

"That's not funny." She punched him in the arm.

"Hey, Hey…I'm injured here."

"Yeah well you are not telling your moms that I hit you. No way."

"I'll tell them that I ran into a door." Jesus didn't want them to know the truth. He knew that Lena would flip out and go to the coach. He didn't want her to do that. He would be way too embarrassed.

"You think they will believe that?"

"Sure." Jesus hoped.

"Let's get you home." Emma grabbed his arm. "Why do you think Vico did that?"

"Who knows?" Jesus shook his head. Vico was a scary guy. He definitely had issues.

Mike dropped Brandon off at home. He walked up to the front door.

"Brandon," Lauren walked up to him.

"Lauren," He was surprised to see her. "What are you doing here?"

"I needed to talk to you."

"I've got to get inside."

"Please Brandon. You have to believe me when I say that I really do like you."

Brandon didn't say anything.

"I really like you. You are the greatest guy that I've ever dated."

"You just wanted me to do something for you."

"That was Vico. He is crazy Brandon. You have to believe me. I think I could fall in love with you." She was bringing out the big guns. It was either going to scare him away or work.

"Lauren," Brandon didn't know what to say.

"Please…Give me another chance. I'll prove to you that I'm worth it."

"So I don't have to steal the key?"

Lauren shook her head. "No not for me." Lauren kissed his cheek. "But Vico isn't going to stop asking. He doesn't take no for an answer."

"He will have to this time. I'm not going to let him get to me." Brandon decided to forgive her. "I'm not going to let him do anything to you either." Brandon kissed her. "Thank you for being honest with me."

"I'll always be honest with you." It worked.

"I really should get inside."

"Okay." Lauren kissed him again. "See you tomorrow goodie." She started to walk away. Her phone beeped. She opened it. "Oh my God, Brandon."

"What?" Brandon walked behind her.

"Look," She showed him the message from Vico.

Vico: Tell Brandon that it will be a lot worse next time unless he does what I want him to do.

It was a video of Vico punching Jesus in the face. "Oh my God. That's my brother."

"Brandon…"

"I'm going to have to steal that key." Brandon told her. He wasn't going to let Vico hurt his family.

Callie walked back into the Community Center with Ryan right behind her.

Mariana and Jude were waiting on her. Ryan was going to take them home, but Callie wanted to say something to Daphne first.

Daphne was sitting at the table.

Callie walked up to her. "Hi."

Daphne just looked at her.

Callie extended her hand. "I'm Callie. It is really nice to meet you."

"What?"

"It's nice to meet you."

Daphne smiled. This was not what she was expecting. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Everyone needs a second chance." Callie smiled.

Daphne shook her hand. "I'm Daphne."

Kiara was so happy. She knew Daphne and Callie would be great friends.

Jude pulled Ryan to the side. "Hey little man...What's up?"

"You are too old for my sister." Jude said and walked away. Ryan nodded. He was probably right, but that didn't stop him from caring about her. Callie was wise beyond her years, and he couldn't stop thinking about her.

Stef and Lena sat down in the kitchen. Stef poured herself a glass of wine.

"It's a little late for that. Don't you think?" Lena asked.

"I'll pour you one too."

"Well okay." Lena laughed.

"This has been the longest day ever."

"Yeah."

"I have been trying to talk to you since we got home. We need to talk about the baby."

"Stef…"

Stef touched Lena's hand. "Lena, I love you. I love our family. And I love our life together."

"I love you too."

"You know when it was just you, Brandon, and me I thought our life was perfect. And then we met Mariana and Jesus. I thought our life was perfect then. I didn't think that we had enough room for anyone else in our family. And then sweet Jude and Callie found us." Stef smiled. They all had a piece of her heart. "I think our family is perfect now."

"I know Stef. I understand. We have more than enough kids."

"Wait. Lena. Let me finish." She squeezed Lena's hand. "I am more than happy with the life that we have together. I love all five of our kids. But I think it might be fun to have a little Lena running around the house."

"Stef," Lena smiled.

Before Stef could finish her thought, Jesus walked into the kitchen.

"Jesus," Lena's attention turned to his busted lip.

"What happened?" Stef spoke for Lena.

"I hit a door."

Lena immediately went towards her son.

"We weren't born yesterday." Stef informed him. "Tell us what really happened."

Brandon walked into the kitchen. "I didn't mean to do it." Brandon lied.

Jesus looked at him. He was confused.

"I accidentally hit him with the door. I told him not to tell you. I thought it might get me into more trouble."

Lena looked at Jesus.

"It was totally an accident. I told you I hit a door. I guess you really were born yesterday, mom." Jesus laughed.

Stef gave him a look and rolled her eyes. "That's not funny."

"Brandon you are not in trouble. It was an accident." Lena touched Jesus' face. "There is some medicine in the cabinet in our bathroom that will help with the swelling. You guys need to be more careful."

Jesus was still confused by Brandon's lie. He would have to figure that out later. At least he didn't have to tell him mom's the truth.
Stef didn't believe them but decided not to argue. At least Jesus was okay and Brandon was talking.

"Moms," they heard Mariana call out. "We are home."

Mariana, Callie, and Jude walked into the kitchen.

"I thought you were going to call us to pick you up." Lena looked at them.

"Ryan brought us home." Jude said.

"Oh," Stef didn't know how she felt about that.

"Thanks for letting us go." Callie gave Lena a hug and then Stef.

Stef held her close and whispered in her ear. "Thanks for talking to my dad. We can both be stubborn at times."

Callie looked at her guiltily. "I was going to tell you."

"It's okay. I don't know what you said but I'm glad you said it." She hugged her again. "Just remember to always say good things about me."

Callie smiled. "I don't think I could think of any bad things."

Stef hugged her again and then looked at the kids. "Alright kiddos…Head upstairs…It has been a long day for all of us."

The kids did as they were told.

Lena looked at Stef. "Before they came running in I thought you were going to tell me that you wanted to have a baby too."

Stef nodded. "I don't think that it will be easy to have another kid running around this house, but life isn't always that easy. That's what makes life worth it."

"Are you sure?" Lena had tears in her eyes. "I don't want us to do anything that you don't want to do."

"You know me. I don't process things as quickly as you do. I needed some time to think about it." Stef smiled. "I've thought about it and this is what I want. I want to have a baby with you." Stef leaned in and kissed her wife. "I love you."

"I love you too." Lena was elated. "And you are sure?" Lena asked again.

"MOMS, I CANT FIND THE MEDICINE!" They heard Jesus screaming for them.

"Absolutely." Stef hugged her tightly. "It is going to be a fun ride.

Please let me know what you thought! I wanted to write the baby story different. I thought it would be fun for Stef to actually want a baby. Anyways we will see how that goes.
