Lena
I need to keep myself from freaking out so i decided to look through some old pictures. I saw one which was our first pictures with the twins after we brought them home. They were five when we fostered them and we ended up falling in love with them.
Flashback
I was cooking while keeping an eye on a six year old Brandon and Stef came home.
"Mommy" he said running to her and hugging her.
"Hey kiddo, have a good day at school?" she asked leaning down and kissing him.
"Yeah we got to play with legos today" he said excitedly.
"You did? Sounds like fun" she said and than came in and kissed me.
"I need too talk too you" she said seriously.
"Hey buddy why don't you go play legos upstairs for a bit" i said to him.
"Can mommy play?" he asked looking at his mom.
"Not right now kiddo. Me and mama have to have a boring adult conversation and then i will be up too play with you" i said and he looked a little disappointed. He ran upstairs to go play anyways.
"Slow down, Brandon" i yelled and he slowed down.
"What's going on?"
"So there were twin five year olds at the station today…" she said and i looked at her confused.
"What did they do steal cookies?" i joked but i knew this was going to be sad.
"There foster family dropped them off for no reason. Bill was down there and wondered if we could take them in for a couple of days until he can find a more permanent household" she explained and it broke my heart.
"Thats so sad, of course we can. What are their names?" i asked.
"Jesus and Mariana" she said and i smiled.
"When will they be coming over?"
"In like an hour… i'll go make the extra beds up for them." she said leaving.
Present
Stef came in interrupting my thoughts.
"Looking through pictures?" she asked.
"Yeah" I held up a picture of a very pregnant Stef. "Aww remember those days?"
"Yes very clearly" she said and i laughed. There was a knock on the day keeping me from teasing her further.
"Come in" Stef said. Brandon opened up the door and walked in followed by Mariana, Callie and Jesus. Ok what's going on?
"What's going on?" i asked.
"We need to talk?" Brandon said.
"I didn't do it" Stef denied and i rolled my eyes at her.
"Really mom?"
"I don't know what this intervention is for but i don't have a problem" she denied and i laughed.
"It's not an intervention… and it's not for you" Mariana said and Stef turned and pointed an accusing finger at me.
"What did you do?"
"Stef" i said annoyed.
"What just trying to lighten the mood… it got kind of awkward in here" she said pouting.
"What's going on?" i asked the kids.
"We know…" Jesus started.
"Don't admit anything" Stef whispered to me.
"Will you stop?" i said and she stopped.
"Know what?" i asked confused.
"What happened with Alisha" Brandon said and i froze. I felt Stef put her arm around me protectively.
Stef
How fantastic now the kids know. Just as i had Lena distracted they bring it back up.
"Wait… how do you know that?" i asked.
"Google… and some accidental eavesdropping" Callie confessed and i sighed.
"Wheres Jude?" i asked noticing his absence.
"He wasn't a part of figuring this out. He doesn't know." Jesus said. I looked down at Lena too see how she's holding up.
"Love… should we just have this conversation with all of them since 4 out of 5 know already" i approached gently. Most of them know we might as well tell them all at the same time. She nodded and i told Jesus too go get Jude.
She looked down at the picture of me pregnant with Brandon i think just so she doesn't have too look at them right now.
"What's going on?" Jude asked once him and Jesus got here.
"Alright well you guys might as well sit down it's a long story" i said and we were soon joined with five kids in our bed.
"I guess we have too catch Jude up" i continued. He kept looking from me too Lena and then too each one of his siblings trying to figure out what's happening.
"I will" Lena said finally speaking i gave her a look like 'are you sure?' and she just nodded.
"When i was nineteen i started dating this girl named Alisha. I thought we were in love and all that chick flick stuff. Anyways she was bipolar and she didn't always take her medication. I didn't realize thats what was going on until we were dating for six months. She got really moody and i thought i could handle it. The thing is after we were together for a little less than two years she stopped taking them completely and she got abusive…" she started sounding ashamed. I squeezed her hand under the bed.
Jude looked shocked and worried but didn't say anything.
"... um it went on for a little over a year and i finally decided that my family and friends were right. That i needed to get out so i told her it was over and she stabbed me in the side and left." Jude looked almost like he could cry. He moved closer to Lena and hugged her. I saw Lena relax a little bit.
"I was the cop called too the scene"i continued for her.
"Thats how i met her" I said and then went on to tell about how Lena and i got together, Lena having PTSD, and how Alisha was in jail.
"Anyways Alisha is out on probation as of today…" i said.
"What?" Jude asked and Mariana patted his back.
"If she goes anywhere near Lena she will be thrown back in jail immediately. She is on a strict probation so hopefully she decides not to come near her and leaves us alone" I said although i'm sure that she won't leave us alone. Thats too easy.
The kids all hugged Lena and left and Jude hung around.
"What's bugging you,Jude?" i asked him.
"Are you ok?" he asked Lena and she smiled.
"Yeah i'm fine. Don't worry about me" she said.
"You sure" he asked. He's such a sweetheart.
"Yes i'm fine. I have your mom" she said and i smiled at her. "Trust me she's going to be doing enough worrying for everyone."
"Thats right because it's my job to keep her safe and i plan to do just that. Besides the cops i work with will be there too help me keep her and you guys safe. So i think we are good"I said smiling at him. He left and i turned around to her.
"You ok?" i asked and she started crying. I wiped the tears away and hugged her.
"Hey you're ok you have me" i reminded her and she laughed.
"I mean it, you know? I will do anything to keep you safe" i promised her and she nodded.
"No i want too see you smile" she gave me a fake smile and i shook my head in disapproval.
I tickled her and she laughed trying to squirm away from me but i have her trapped.
"Stop it… stop" she yelled while laughing. I stopped and she laid there laughing for a second.
"Thats not fair you know i'm extremely ticklish." she said sitting up.
"I love you" i told her.
"I love you too" she said and i kissed her. I picked up the picture of me pregnant with Brandon.
"This is a terrible picture" i said and she laughed.
"No i like it" she said and i rolled my eyes.
"Yeah because you get too tease me for it" i said and she laughed.
"Oh i have plenty of pictures i can use for blackmail so i would stay on my good side if i was you" she warned and i laughed. I'm just glad she's joking and all that it shows that at least for the time being she feels safe.
Alisha
The second that bitch showed up too pick up Lena after her panic attack i knew i had to get out of there. Yet again that bitch is in my way. I will win Lena over again if it's the last thing i do. I don't care what i have too do too get rid of her i'll do it. All she's ever done was ruin me and Lenas chance at happiness. I went through a bad period. I hurt Lena and i have never regretted something so much in my life. She's the love of my life. I started taking the pills and getting myself back on track so i was a better person for her once i came back. I will do anything for her. I will die for her. I would kill for her.
Well we all knew Alisha was crazy but she just went completely psycho. I wasn't planning on writing another chapter today i just was planning on writing the confrontation scene and that ended being the majority of the chapter. Consider yourself lucky i have an addiction to writing fanfiction and have no self control. Please review. I can almost guarantee the next few chapters will be up pretty soon because they will be intense and i won't be able to stop.
