Stef
A month after Callie has gone back to school from christmas break I get a call from Lena.
"Hey love what's wrong."
"Stef I have tons of meetings today and I need you to come get Callie."
"What happen."
"She fell on the playground and ripped her dress and cut her knee pretty badly."
"I'll be there in 15 minutes."
"Okay."
I get to the school to pick Callie up.
"Emma helped her to the nurses and she told me that everyone was laughing at her."
"Is she okay."
"Yeah she'll be okay."
"Okay maybe we can make something that Callie likes since she had a bad day."
"Can we have chicken nuggets." Says Callie.
"Yeah we can have that baby."
I take Callie home and help her with a bath and gave her a small bowl of ice cream.
"Hey Callie don't tell Lena that I gave you ice cream before dinner."
"I won't."
"She will get mad at me if she finds out."
"I won't tell."
After she ate her ice cream we watched TV and she just clung to me.
"Mommy the kids were teasing me when I fell."
"I'm sorry you had a bad day. We all have bad days baby."
"You have bad days at work."
"Yes. But you wanna know what turn my bad days into a good day."
"What."
"Coming home and getting hugs and kisses from my baby girl."
"More then getting kisses from Lena."
"Yeah baby your always gonna be my number 1 girl."
"I love you mommy."
"I love you to baby."
Lena gets home and she makes dinner after we eat we go watch a movie and we talk.
"Stef so my mom called and she wants to visit and see Callie."
"That is good. When she planning on doing this."
"Next week."
"Is it just her or are they both coming."
"There both coming."
"That good they can stay in the guest room while there here."
"Yeah."
That Monday Lena's parents arrive while Lena and Callie are still at school so I pick her parents up at the airport and we picked up burgers on the way home. Once we got home I showed them the room where they will be staying in.
"Stef you still live in this apartment."
"Yeah I own the apartment I know houses are nice but there is plenty of room for just me Lena and Callie here."
"You guys aren't gonna have anymore kids."
"No Lena told me about her miscarriage and that she don't wanna try again and I'm happy with just Callie. Callie adores Lena so just the 3 of us are happy the way we are."
"As long as you make my daughter happy then I'm happy for you guys."
"Thanks. They should be arriving any minute now."
"Okay."
"I'm not sure if Callie remembers you from that night when I first met you so it might take her a little bit to come to you guys but she will."
"What does Callie call Lena."
"Just Lena. We haven't talked about what she should call Lena. So right now I have no idea what she should be calling you guys."
"If you can agree I think we can agree with Grams and Gramps since she probably calls your mom and dad Grandma and Grandpa already."
"I could agree. I'll just have to talk to Lena to see if she agrees also. Then I would have to sit Callie down and explain it to her. You should of seen how Callie was the night I asked Lena to give Callie a bath because I had to finish up paper work that needed to be done by the next morning."
"Lena told me about it. All I can say is you did the right thing teaching your daughter that only cretin people can do cretin things with her. A child's safely is very important to a mother."
Lena and Callie comes home.
"Mommy."
"Hey baby did you have a good day today."
"Yeah I had a good day. Emma is having a Birthday party next Saturday can I go."
"I don't see why not."
"Okay. Mommy are these your friends."
"No baby they are Lena's parents. Won't you go play so the adults can talk I'll come talk to you in a little bit."
Callie runs off leaving me with Lena and her parents.
