A/N

Thank you for reading and reviewing…The reviews and PMs have helped me tremendously

This has turned into a heavy story that as sensitive topics. Please read with care.

We need to deal with this now

"I TAKE CARE OF US, OUR RULES ALWAYS!" Callie yelled as she turned to starting running out of the kitchen but bumped into Lena who had come around the other end of the table. Lena managed to grab her in a hold long enough that Stef can help her bring a kicking, screaming and angry Callie to the ground. Callie totally lost it and is screaming and crying. She is yelling incoherently other than a few cuss words, the Moms aren't sure what she is saying. There is not a lot that the Moms can do except hold her so she doesn't hurt herself.

After about ten minutes Callie has almost exhausted herself and as quit fighting. Lena starts to rock her; this seems to calm Callie down some. When it is obvious that Callie as calmed down enough Stef let's go of Callie's arms and scoot back enough that Lena can move Callie into her lap. Callie goes into the crook of Lena neck and starts playing with Lena's curls.

"Baby, I don't like to see you act this way, this not the sweet girl I know. We can't have you throwing stuff someone could get hurt and we don't want that do we?" Callie shakes her head. "I need you sit up and talk to us, like a big girl." Lena says as she sits up a little bringing Callie up enough that she isn't hiding down within Lena.

"You know we are only trying to do what is best for you and Jude Yes?" Stef asks Callie nods her head.

"The rules take care of us" Callie spits out between hitched breaths. "I take care of us"

"Yes they do, and I bet at ever house you learned something new and had to tweak the rules for you and Jude to be safe depending on the situation yes?" Stef asks Callie nods her head.

"Here is different in this house Mom and I make the rules dependent on the situation because that's our job as the Moms" Lena says

"Your job is to follow rules just like you expected Jude to follow The Rules when you needed him to, to keep him safe…we need you to so we can keep you safe Yes?" Stef asks

Callie mulls this over for a few minutes; both Moms can see she is struggling with this. "I take care of us."

"But you don't have to Baby, that's what Mom and I are here for. All you have to worry about is getting better and being the sweet girl I know you are" Lena says Callie nods

"Sweets I know you got angry at me, you need use your words. You can't be throwing stuff at anyone. There are consequences for your actions." Stef says

Callie tears up and nods her head as she gets up from the floor. The Moms stand up with her but are shocked when she breaks away and goes to the long wall in the kitchen she stops about a foot in front of it facing it and interlock her fingers behind her head with her feet spread shoulder length apart and stands there waiting.

Both Moms look at each other for answers, which neither can give.

"Baby? What are you doing?" Lena asks as walks up to the girl when she goes to touch Callie on the shoulders to get her to turn to look at her, Callie flinched like she had been hit.

"I've have to be punished" Callie mumbles with tears in her eyes and she was biting her lip, but with her chin up she was trying to be brave.

It dawn on Stef first the implications of what Callie was saying. She hurried over and brought Callie into a hug "OOO Sweets No Never" as she practically dragged her over into the nook and sat down with her in her lap. "We don't hit ever! Remember?"

Callie nod and said "But when I break the your house your rules rule, I've have to be punished"

"Yes but we are talking early bedtime and no internet seeing how this your first and only offense" Stef says as she looks at Lena who had moved over and was standing next to them real close for agreement. Normally she wouldn't hesitate to bring the hammer down on one the kids especially with what had happened. But Callie was very fragile and struggling right now and she was basically on lock down with the Moms anyway and Stef didn't think Callie would be up to ten her normal bed time. It seemed like a good compromise, ease her into consequences without hurting her.

Lena nods her head in agreement with Stef and steals herself for the answer then asks "Hun, where did this happen?" She asks Callie as she moves Callie hair behind her ear, so she can't hide. Stef as ran her hand up under Callie shirt and is rubbing hand up and down Callie's back trying to encourage and reassure her.

With Callie eyes on the floor she very quietly replies "Their house"

Lena asks "The ones who hurt your feet?"

Callie nods and then in the same whiny voice Fat Ass would use "My house, my rules or my belt, Stupid Girl"

Both Moms look at each other. Things are making some sense now, about why Callie had fought them every time they mentioned rules.

Lena takes Callie chin in her hands and lifts it up forcing Callie to look at her in the eyes "Baby, you are not stupid, don't you ever for a minute believe that. A stupid girl wouldn't have been able to take care of not only herself but also Jude." Callie wipes her eyes with the back of her sleeve, frustrated at the tears that are falling. Lena takes her hand on that arm intertwining their fingers. "It's ok to cry"

Callie shakes her head and says in hitched breaths "Sorry…I don't want closet time"

"Closet time?" Stef asks in what she hopes in calm voice, even though she is boiling inside.

"If you cry or make noise during punishment than you get closet time" Callie mumbles

The Moms is stun silent at what Callie as she just told them.

Callie for her part was overwhelmed and couldn't seem to get her breathing under control and the more she tried the faster it came. Her chest starts to hurt she knows she needs to get air and struggled to get out of Stef's lap.

"Air" She squeaks out as she tries to stand up but her eye sight went black and her knees went weak. She would have crashed to the floor but the Moms were able to guide her down, placing her head between her knees.

"Sweets we need you to breathe…deep breaths, in through your nose out through your mouth…follow my breathing...Come Callie I know you can do it…focus right here on me, following my breathing. Lena could you also bring an ice pack and a juice please…Callie I really need you to calm down and breathe Baby…slow down deep breaths" Stef says trying to help Callie calm down from her panic attack.

Lena returns and starts wiping Callie face with a wet cloth while Stef takes the ice pack from her "This is a little cold Sweets" she places it on Callie's neck the same way Jude done. This time Callie sits a little straighter but doesn't try to remove it from her neck because she is still grabbing at her chest.

"That's it deep breaths…Callie does your chest hurt?" Lena asks when Callie keeps grabbing at her chest.

Callie nods "My…heart…hurts" she mumbles out between deep hitched breaths.

"Ok let's get you out of your hoodie" Lena says as her and Stef removes the hoodie from Callie. "You're doing so good Hun…How about some juice?

Callie shakes her head and asks "Air?"

Both Moms share an uncertain look between their selves.

"Pleeeeaaassseee…smothering" Callie whines, she as calmed down a lot but is still upset and is still holding her chest.

Lena nods "How about both?"

Stef goes to help Callie up "Little steps ok?" Callie nods

They get out on the patio Callie is a bit better and tries to move herself toward the tree. Stef will not let her and guides her over to the deck seats. Stef tries to bring Callie into her lap; Callie is hesitant but finally lets Stef bring her down.

Callie is still tense "It's ok Sweets, just relax, consecrate on your breathing" Stef assures her as she forces Callie's head down, snuggling her into the crook of her neck. It takes few minutes for Callie to calm down enough for Lena who has taken a chair next to them to hand Callie her juice.

Stef gives Lena a what the hell? And we got to deal with this now look, after Callie has taken several sips of juice.

"Callie Girl, I know you don't want to talk right now and that's fine. All you need to do is listen to Momma and Me and remember to breath. Momma and I love you very much. We love Jude. We are always going to love both of you. What we are not going to do is hit you or put you in a closet EVER understand? Stef asks Callie gives her a slight nod

Lena says "And you can cry all you want, you can feel whatever you need to feel and you can tell us anything you want or need to, that goes for all of our babies including Jude. One team remember?" Callie nods

"We love you so much that it hurts us when you are hurting so we've got to get you better. Remember we talked this morning about you taking deep breaths when you are unsure of what you are doing? Callie nodded "Well we need you to take a deep breath when you start to get upset and mad. I am pretty sure that part of that in there earlier was my fault because I didn't know that me saying "My Rules" would upset you the way it did, I thought you was just getting angry because you didn't like Momma's and my rules. But we only know what we know and I know that there are some things are just too scary and dark for you to talk about to us now and that's ok. Momma and Me are here when you are ready to talk about anything, we can even help you find the words."

Lena continues were Stef left off "Baby that needs to be one of your special rules. Breathe and relax not everything has to be just so it is ok if it is a little off or if something doesn't make totally sense to you right then, we can figure it out. What can't happen is anymore throwing stuff" Callie nods; she has started silently crying again. Both Moms notice but don't bring attention it, afraid it would cause her to be embarrassed.

"I am a lot like you I let my emotions take over when I need to breathe and think things through. So how about when you feel yourself getting angry or upset over something we have a code word so we both know that we need to breathe and relax. Than we have to count to 10 before we can move on" Stef says, Callie nods

Stef asks "How something likes "settle?" that way we will know that we need a minute for our emotions to settle down by breathing and relaxing." Callie nods "How about when you need a minute to get your words you tell us "Slack" and if you need help with your words we can help you Yes?" Callie nods her head in agreement

Lena remembers a tool they used with Jesus "How about we play red light when we need to? Red we stop; it is something you don't want to talk about. Yellow we tread very carefully and Green we use that to check in. So that we know you are ok with how things are going." Callie nods.

Both Moms take a moment to let Callie process and calm down some more. Callie's tears are still going but her breathing is under control. They hear the front door open and B come in to the kitchen and Jude take the stairs two at a time up and then in two minutes take the stairs back down and through the house.

Lena reaches over and washes Callie's face for her, which the girl gives a small smile before turning back into Stef's neck.

Jude comes busting through the back door, with a worried look on his face. He comes to a screeching halt when he sees the Moms with Callie curled up in Stef's lap.

"Hey Buddy, how was school?" Lena asks

"Fine" Jude says never taking his eyes off Callie, trying to gauge how she is. When he speaks Callie rises up a little and gives him a smirk which he returns, with their eyes they check in with each other and although Jude is concern he loses his worried face. He has slowly inched his way over to where they are sitting stopping by Callie and Stef's chair.

Lena can't resist and reaches "Come here Buddy" and brings him into her lap. The porch goes into a peaceful silence. B poked his head threw the door and made eye contact with Stef, he was fine and was going up to practice.

When Lena looks at the time she gives Stef a we got to look and gets a nod in return.

"So the plan for tonight is that we grill dinner, eat out here on the patio and maybe build a fire in the pit after dark and or a movie night" Lena says With the mention of fire Jude eyes light up. "How does that sound?"

"Great" Jude says when Lena looks at him, Callie on the other hand has zone out and is staring at spot on the deck. Stef notices and moves her hair behind her head "What about it Callie Girl?" which gets her to slightly nod.

"But first Bill is going to stop by…" Lena is not able to finish because on hearing Bill was coming Jude had jumped out of Lena's lap.

"Damn it Callie again?" Jude yells with tears in his eyes and he starts to stomp off. Callie for her part just goes further down into Stef hiding her face. Stef can feel her start to shake and can feel the girl's warm wet tears fall on her neck and shirt.

"Whoooooooooa! Stop Mister" Stef tells him in a stern voice which is enough to get the boy to stop and turn around. Stef starts rocking Callie and tries to sooth her, but is real curious about what Jude is going to say.

"Come back here" Lena demands, by the time Jude as shuffled back over to Lena his eyes are on the ground "First we don't use that language. Second explain please" Lena says the second part in a soft voice she didn't want to have the boy shut down on them

"Callie gets too much to deal with, Foster parents call Bill, we leave" Jude mumbles

"NO ONE is going anywhere." Stef says in the same stern voice, it makes Jude head pop up and he reads the truthfulness in her eyes.

Lena hears the doorbell ring, she knew it was Bill and she need to answer it.

"One Team remember Buddy?" Lena asks Jude as she got up to answer the door pausing until she got a nod and then a "Yes" from Jude. She gave the boy a hug and a kiss to the top of his head and went to answer the door.
