Disclaimer I do not own the Fosters.

Callie was in the living room watching tv when Stef walked in.

"Hey love taking a break from Studing?" asked Stef.

"Yeah I figured it would be ok besides I have an entire year of stuff to catch up on" said Callie.

Stef tried to remember a time when Callie ever watched tv before what happened.

"You didn't watch much tv before your coma" said Stef.

"Never really had the chance, a tv is a common place object in most homes but living in the foster care system I never had the chance to sit down watch tv ans when I did I had no control over what I watched" said Callie.

"You talk about Foster Care like there's more then one" said Stef.

Callie looked at Stef and noticed that her mom was still in her uniform. Callie saw the gun and wondered.

"Um Stef can you train me to use a gun?" asked Callie.

Stef was caught off guard by the question.

"Excuses me?" asked Stef.

"I would like to get a gun and I would like you to train me how to use it" said Callie.

"Callie you don't need a gun" said Stef.

"Need it or want it doesn't matter, a gun is a symbol of power people respect and fear" said Callie.

Stef was surprised by this as she never thought Callie would be the one to think like this.

"Callie just because you have a gun doesn't mean people will respect you" stated Stef.

"Stef I can't relie on you to protect me!, my legs don't work so I can't use them to defend myself or run away, and mace isn't going to stop the determined ones like Sarah or Liam" explained Callie.

Stef was hurt by that comment about protecting her as she knew Callie was right and she wished Lena was here as she might better handle this as Stef wanted to scream back at Callie.

"Callie I know I can't protect you from everything but Liam is in Jail for 50 years and Sarah 25 and I'll do my best to keep you safe" said Stef picking her words carefully.

"He was in 'jail' when he attacked me in that alley, I needed you and you weren't there" cried Callie.

"Callie I'm sorry, I thought you were safe with Daphne" said Stef on the verge of tears.

Callie saw Stef's tears forming and it made her angry.

I needed you!, I wanted to be with you but you weren't there when I needed you most!" hissed Callie.

"Callie I'm sorry ok!, if I had the power to protect my children at all times I would but I'm only human" cried Stef.

"So is Liam but he keeps coming after me!, he's going to kill me!" cried Callie.

Stef didn't know how to respond to that as Callie just revealed how much she feared Liam. Stef wrapped her arms around Callie in a deep embrace.

"He broke me Stef!, he broke me and when he gets out he will kill me!" cried Callie.

"A gun won't keep you safe" stated Stef.

"He's stronger then me, he's stronger and wins every time" said Callie.

"If he's stronger then why did he need someone else with him?" asked Stef hoping that would work.

"Strength in numbers!, that's a smart move, he had all the advantages, he draws people in and I repel them" said Callie.

"No Callie no, you see the value in people and Liam see's people as only the value they bring to him, your a good person and he's a monster" explained Stef.

Callie stopped crying and shifted Causing Stef to let go.

"The night he attacked me, where were you?" asked Callie.

"I was at home with your mamma waiting for you to call so we could pick you up, we were talking to Robert who wanted to take you to Paris" said Stef.

"Paris France?" asked Callie.

"Paris, France" confirmed Stef.
