Previously:
Stef sighed and took the remote turning the tv on to the kids channel for the cartoons. Knowing the girl was probably hungry Stef left Rylan in the lounge room and headed upstairs and got the dishes from this morning before she set about making some soup for the little girl. She decided to also make Rylan a cup of hot chocolate hoping she would at least drink that to have something in her belly.
Making some chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, Stef headed into the lounge room with the food and the drinks and setting them on the coffee table. She could see Rylan eyeing the hot chocolate and she waited for the little girl to grab it but she didn't and Stef internally cried. Clicking on the dvd player, she pressed play on the movie already in there.
The transformers title menu popped up and Stef clicked play and snuggled down with her own soup as she watched the movie, more like watched Rylan from the corner of her eyes.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lena, Mariana, Jesus, Callie and Jude entered the house, the sound of the tv going had them looking in the lounge room to see the two blondes watching a movie together.
Lena smiled seeing that Rylan wasn't in her room but on the same sofa as Stef even though they were both at different ends. Her smile dropped a bit seeing the full cup of soup, a full sandwich and the full cup of hot chocolate sitting in front of the little blonde on the coffee table untouched.
She could see the little girl looked really sick and It pained her to have to talk to her now knowing that she was feeling awful. They just couldn't put it off any longer.
"Hey my babies." Stef said as she spied her wife and children home. Standing up and stretching she reached them, giving them hugs and kisses before they could go scamper off and do something.
Each kid called out hey to Rylan but every single one got nothing in reply. The moms could see the hurt in the kids faces at the rejection as they headed up stairs. Lena and Stef looked at each other before heading over to take a seat so they could talk.
The kids all knew that their moms wanted to talk with Rylan and had gone up stairs and weren't coming down till Lena came and got them. They would do what they were told since they really wanted Rylan to snap out of the funk she was in.
Rylan, Stef and Lena were now in the living room all seated.
Rylan was still snuggled up on the sofa with her Transformers blanket wrapped tightly around her. She knew that she had hurt the only family that have loved her since her real mom. Its not that she wanted to hurt them, its just she had to, to protect them. It made sense in her mind but to anyone else it would confuse them.
"Rylan baby. Can you look at us please?" Rylan continued to look at her hands, refusing the look up at the two women, knowing that one look from them would send her into their arms seeking comfort and thats not what she wanted.
"Sweetie, we need to know whats going on. We miss the bright and bubbly little girl, we want her back. Please we love you Mini and it hurts us to know that your angry with us and we have no idea what we have done. Please baby tell us what we need to do?" Stef pleaded as she knelt in front of the little girl who still hadn't looked up from her lap.
Both moms intently watching the little girl for any signs of movement, only tears falling onto the little girls blanket were the sign that she was listening.
"I...i c...I ." Mini tried to talk but she couldn't stop thinking of the man from the park. She didn't want Stef and Lena hurt. She didn't want the teenagers that she has come to love as brothers and sisters hurt either but she wanted comfort from all of them but she didn't know If she could risk it.
"Talk to us baby, please." Lena begged as she knelt down near Stef, waiting for the little girl to respond. Both mothers could feel and see the inner battle the little girl was going through, they just didn't know what the inner battle was about and that scared them.
Rylan slowly looked up, the tears falling from her eyes matched those falling from both her foster mothers eyes.
Stef let out an oof as Rylan had thrown the blanket off and latched onto her and wouldn't let go. The little girl clung so tight that she was choking Stef, but Stef wrapped her arms around the girl tightly, rubbed her back and placed gentle kisses on her temple along with whispering gentle words into Rylans ear between kisses.
"I...I...dont want...want...him to hurt you. He...said he would hurt you if I told." Rylan said through sobs and hiccups. Both moms got the gist of what she was saying and were shocked.
"Who is going to hurt us? We will be fine, no one will hurt us, we will be fine." Stef whispered rubbing Rylans back. Rylan pulled back and her face was red and tear streaked but then more tears tumbled out of her eyes.
"The man at the park he killed my mom." Lena and Stef gasped at what had been revealed. This was new information, information that could help with finding out Rylans identity.
"Its ok, we will be safe. Everything is going to be alright." Rylan shook her head as Stef continued to talk. The flowing of her tears never stopping or slowing. Stef and Lena weren't understanding her and she was getting frustrated.
"No no...I told... hes gonna hurt you." Rylan said out frustrated as she shook. She was tired and sick and she was so scared.
"No ones going to hurt you or me or Lena or any of the kids. I promise Rylan." Stef said bring the little girl into her shoulder. Standing up Stef set herself on the sofa and cuddle the little girl close to her as Lena sat at Stefs side rubbing Rylans back and placing gentle kisses to the little blondes head.
The moms had wanted this for a while now and it shocked them that the girl had broken down like this, she had seen the man that killed her mom and now everything came to light with her attitude.
"I don't want you to die." Rylan whispered after a while, sobs still shaking her small figure. Rylan reached down from her position on Stefs lap and clasped one of Lenas hands in her own, bringing it up so that Lenas hand was squished between Rylans and Stefs chests.
"Hey shhhh its alright, Im not going anywhere and neither is Lena. Ok baby. Were going to be fine." Rylan nodded hesitantly. She should have gone straight to Lena and Stef instead of fighting them and their love. Stef is a cop, she protects people and in her time of desperation she had forgot all about that and wished she hadn't, she had hurt them and herself for nothing.
"Im sorry." Rylan whispered as the tears kept falling. Stef could feel the wet patch on her shirt getting bigger and her heart broke for the little girl.
"What for baby?" Lena asked as she kept using her free hand to run up and down the little blondes back. Rylan pulled back so she could look at the two women. The pure love and kindness that Rylan saw in the woman's eyes made her cry a little harder, knowing she had hurt these wonderful people when all they wanted to do was love her and protect her from everything, just like moms do.
Rylan took a deep breath and looked both women in the eyes before looking at her hands that were still wrapped with Lenas on Stefs chest. Stefs pale skin, Rylans slightly darker skin and Lenas even darker skin fit, they fit so well. She fitted so well in this family, a family she loved.
"I was mean to everyone, I thought that if I was mean you would send me away and you wouldn't be hurt cause I wasn't here anymore." Both moms now understanding why the girls attitude and behaviour had been the way it was over the day and a bit.
"We love you baby, we would never send you away because you were mean or someone wanted to hurt us. You can push us and push us till we are very angry but that doesn't mean we will send you away. We would never send you away willingly, someone would have to pry you out of my arms before you left this family." Stef said with pure love lacing her voice, her voice soothing the fears in Rylan.
"Im sorry, I love you mommy." Rylan crushed her body forward and clung on tightly to Stef before she reached her arm out and wrapped in around Lenas neck bring her towards them. Planting a kiss on each of their cheeks, Rylan felt happy that she had spoken, nothing compares to the love she received from the two women, she promised herself that she would never ever hurt them on purpose again.
"I love you mama." Rylan whispered out against Lenas neck. Both moms smiling. Their little girl was back.
One down, one to go. Lena thought.

The kids disappeared upstairs as their moms talked to Rylan downstairs. Each kid new that their moms would try anything to get the little girl to open up. Not that he would admit it, but Jesus really missed his little sisters bubbly ways and it really pained him to see her act the way she has been.
Staring down the stairs once more Jesus headed into his room to place his bag down and then headed into the girls room like they had all planned.
Taking a seat on Marianas bed next to his twin whle Jude and Brandon sat on Rylans bed with Callie leaning against the frame of the bunk bed.
"Do you think she will talk?" Jude piped up, he missed his sister. He hadn't really had a chance to get to know her all that well and he was hoping that when she returned back to normal, that they could get to know each other better. He wanted to step up into the big brother role and wanted to be an amazing big brother just like the rest of his siblings had done for him.
Callie left her place against the frame and took a seat next to her youngest brother on the bed and grabbed one of his hands in hers.
"She will open up. Something must have freightned her at the park and now shes built walls up. Remember I use to do the same?" I still do. callie thought and she sighed as she looked at all of her siblings. Each analyzing the things that had been said throught the days and were slowly nodding.
"I miss her even though shes not gone and Is technically here, I just miss her being with us and spending time." Mariana whispered as she wiped a stray tear that had fallen down her cheek. Jesus wrapped his arm around his twin and pulled her into his chest. Mariana let out a sigh as she rested against her brother as she took in her other siblings.
"We all do Mari. If anyone can get through to her it will be our moms." Each kid nodded as they sat in their positions being comforted by each other.
They all couldn't stop thinking about what could be going down stairs but all were hoping that whatever is being said downstairs would all work out in the end.

Rylan cried herself to sleep with the comfort of bother her moms with her. Stef and Lena looked at each other and smiled. Things would hopfully go back to the way they were now that Rylan had told them what was going on.
"I need to go get her medication. She needs it for tonight so we can get rid of this respiratory infection fast." Stef whispered as she listened to the little girl who had began to start wheezing. Lena nodded.
Scooting off the sofa, with Rylan still wrapped around her neck, Stef kissed Lenas lips before handing the little girl of to her wife. Immediately one of Rylan hands found Lenas neck while the other was burried in Lenas hair at the back of her neck.
"Ill be back soon love." Lena nodded and walked Stef to the door. Stef placed a kiss on Lenas lips and then one on Rylans head before she disappeared out the house and off to the chemist.
Lena sighed as she headed back into the living room. She didn't sit but she did just start swaying, more to ease her mind that her little girl was letting them back in and that she was safe in her arms.
Lena stared at the little girls face as she swayed. A small tear fell from one of her eyes as she stared down at the pure innocence of the little girl in her arms.
Lena couldn't help but frown at the small wheezing sounds coming from the little girls chest as she breathed in and out as she slept, the fever she was running and how pale she looked. Her heart was broken to think that the little girl and Callie had such big weights on their shoulders that no one should have. No child shoulde have and that really hurt her as a parent that she couldn't always protect her children.
"I damn well will try." Lena whispered before placing a small kiss to the little blondes forehead as she swayed.
Lena prayed that this girl would have justice, not only her but Callie also. Just thinking about Callie brought her back to the conversation she had with Wyatt and she knew that now her youngest had spoken and they knew what they were going to have to deal with. With Callie, anything was possible and she was a lot harder to crack. Lena just hoped that when her and Stef talked to Callie that she would tell them whats going on.
No one hurts my babies and gets away with it. Lena thought as she continued to sway with the little blonde in her arms, as she waiting for her wife to get back with the medication for Rylan to help her get better.
Mama tiger was on the prowl. No one messes with her babies. Absolutely no one.
Xxxxxxxxxxx
Lena had placed Rylan to bed in hers and Stef room. Stef would be home soon with medication and she hoped that it would start working fast. Tucking the little girl in, Lena left her on the bed and headed across the hall to the girls room, where she knew all her children were as they waited for any information on their little sister.
Knocking lightly on the door, Lena enters and smiles at her kids. All of them looking worried and anxious and a little bit scared.
Taking a seat on Marianas bed with the twins Lena began before anyone of them could talk.
"Its all going to be ok now. She told us whats wrong and now mom and I are going to fix it." The kids let out sighs of relief.
"What was wrong? And where is mom?" Jude asks from his position leaning against Callie. Lena looked at all of her kids and sighed. She didn't really know if she should tell the kids about what Rylan had said.
"Im right here." Stef said as she poked her head into the room and walked in. Laying a kiss on each of her kids heads and then her wifes, Stef knelt on the floor so she could look at all of them. Giving her wife a glance to tell her that shes got this, Lena nodded in return.
"While we were at the park she saw a man...She said that he killed her mom." At this confession each kid gasped. Lenas eyes closed for a second. Having to hear it again still hurt.
"Do you think he threatened her?" Lena and Stef nodded and Jesus and then the other kids.
"We don't think, we know. She told us that he would hurt us and her if she spoke. Now I am going to do anything in my power to keep that from happening ok. We will be safe ok." Each kid nodded. Callie, Mariana and Jude had tears streaming down their faces along with Lena and Stef while Brandon and Jesus sat holding their family as anger seeped into their veins, they too were on the brink of letting tears fall, not for the sadness, but for the anger they felt.
No on hurts their family and walks.
"Where is she?" Brandon asked looking at his moms.
"She fell asleep. She has a respiratory infection so shes going to need lots of rest, Medication and fluids. Shes in our room." all the kids nodded at their Mamas explanation.
"Do you think she will be up for a movie night with us? I really just feel like we need family bonding, its been a while and it will make me feel better." Mariana whispered as she leant against Lena more.
"Thats a great idea sweetie. Im sure we are all up for it." Everyone nodded their responses and smiled a little.
"Alright, go get homework done, shower and get ready for tonight. Im going to go give little miss some medication." Stef said as she stood from her kneeling position on the floor.
"I love you all my babies." Stef announced as she kissed every last one of them before disappearing. Lena did the same. Her eyes lingered on Callie a little longer before exiting the girls room and disappearing into her own room.
My poor girls. Lena thought as she stepped into her room to help her wife with their sick child.
