It was 6:45 in the morning the next day and Lena was in the shower getting ready for work when my phone went off and I saw it was work so I answered it in a tiredly tone.
"Hi stef did I wake you."
"No it's okay. I didn't get home til about 11:30 last night and I have the girl with me we had kind of a rough night."
"Well I just want to let you know we arrested the parents last night."
"That's good."
"You said you have the little girl."
"Yeah it's kind of a long story. Turns out she's my daughter. So she's here to stay."
"Well sounds like you need a day off so take today off and I will see you tomorrow."
"Thanks caption."
I get off the phone and just lay there and Lena comes out of the bathroom.
"Hey babe you look tired won't you take today off and stay home with your little girl and rest."
"Work just called me while you were in the shower to tell me they arrested her foster parents and told me to take off I will do just that. I know that I said I will explain everything to Callie this weekend but maybe after me and her have breakfast I'm gonna take her clothes shopping then when we get back I'll talk to her and explain everything then."
"That sounds like a great idea. I will get Brandon ready you just go back to sleep and I will just tell him that you were called into work and you didn't get in to real late last night."
"Okay and we can sit him down after school and explain about Callie to him."
"Okay babe."
She leans in and gives me kiss and leaves the room and I go back to sleep for a little bit with Callie still laying next to me peacefully.
Lena:
I leave the room and go wake Brandon up.
"Hey B time to get up and get ready for school."
"Okay mama. How come you waking me up instead of mom. She normally does it."
"She got called into work last night and she didn't get home til really late so were gonna let her sleep. She will be here when you get home from school."
"Okay."
We go and have some breakfast and we go to the school and I watch Brandon walk to his class then I go into my office and I pull out Callie's enrollment papers and her emergency contact card and fixed them. I put a red flag on her old foster parents from releasing her from the school and put the only people that can take her is Stef, Stef's parents, and of course myself and my parents. During my lunch break I get a phone call from stef's mom.
"Hi Sharon."
"Lena where is stef I called her phone and she didn't pick up and her job told me she had off today. Is she alright."
"Yes she is fine she is probably sleeping still or she probably out shopping because she mention going shopping with someone unexpectedly that popped into her life last night that is going to be under our roof for now on."
"Who popped into her life."
"It's not my place to say. You will have to talk to her about it."
"Is this a good thing for the 2 of you. Are your relationship okay."
"Yes our relationship is fine. Like I said you will have to talk to her maybe you can come by the house later so you guys can talk."
"I just might do that then."
I get off the phone and continue to have my lunch and and continue to work on my work until it was time for me and Brandon to head home.
