Previously:
"Stef its not funny. Our youngest daughter walked in on us almost having sex. We could have traumatised her." Stef was still laughing but not as hard as before.
Rolling her eyes Lena slid out of the bed and grabbed her shirt that had been flung across the room.
"Im sorry babe, but seriously. We haven't been intimate in a while and when we start to, we get interrupted by our child. Its just funny." Lena could understand it now but it still wasn't funny in her mind. She was aroused still but she had to go feed and take care of her children.
"Ok, whatever, go shower and then you can come down and take over from me. Oh and this is not over, we will have our time." Lena said as she walked out of the room. Stef smiled. One way or another her and her wife were going to have their time together.

When Lena walked into the kitchen, she smiled at her youngest sitting at the table. Thanking god that she had listened to her. Rylan was sitting nicely, her head resting in one of her hands as her other held her transformers toy to her chest.
"Morning baby girl, you hungry. You're looking a little better today, I think the medication is kicking in." Lena said as she kissed Rylans fore head, as a comfort thing like she normally did but also to check her temperature. Still warm but not as bad.
"Morning Mama." Rylan replied before she yawned and watched her Mama get things out of the fridge. Her throat still sounded scratchy and it still hurt but it wasn't as bad as yesterday.
"How are you feeling today?" Lena asked as she placed the carton of eggs on the bench before facing her daughter.
"My throat still hurts. But I feel a little better then yesterday." Lena nodded. Hopefully with the antibiotics and rest, Rylan should get better quicker.
"Ok, ill get you some breakfast and your medicine." Lena poured Rylan a sippy cup full of orange juice before putting it in front of her and then getting her medication. She watched the little girl take the medication, just to make sure she was actually taking it before continuing on with her task of making breakfast.
"Mama, what were you and Mommy doing this morning?" Rylan asked curiously. She had heard moaning coming from her moms room and so she had entered to see if one of her moms was hurt. All she saw was her mom sitting on her mama without her shirt.
Lena stopped mid whisk. She was whisking eggs together for scrambled eggs when she froze because Rylans question had caught her off guard and because she didnt know what to say to her youngest daughter, she was to young to know the birds and the bees talk. Clearing her throat, Stef walked in the room just in time to hear her daughter ask that question.
"I was just giving mama a hug because I elbowed her in the stomach on accident." Stef covered, looking at Lena. With that one look they both knew that their daughter wasn't old enough to know about sex and so they told her a little white lie.
Rylan nodded but then frowned and looked at her mom.
"Why didn't you have your shirts on then?" Stef ran a hand down her face and Lena smirked before she went back to making the scrambled eggs, leaving the discussion to her wife.
"Well, Mama and I were hot but I also wanted to check that I didn't hurt mama when I elbowed her." Stef hoped that that explanation would stop the questions from the little girl. Rylan nodded before taking a sip of her juice.
"Can we go to the park today?" Rylan asked hopefully. Both Lena and Stef sighed in relief.
"You can't baby girl. You are sick and need to get better." Rylan looked at her lap defeated. She did feel yucky but she wanted to get out of the house.
"I don't like being sick." Rylan mumbled as she hugged her transformers toy closer to her chest. Stef and Lena chuckled at hearing the little girls sentence.
Rylan was an active child and really didn't like being cooped up. She was just like Stef in more ways then one with a little of Lena thrown into the mix. Even though there wasn't a possible way for Lena and Stef to biologically have a child that contained both their DNA and traits, Anyone would think that she was Lena and Stefs Biological child just by watching her and interacting with her and Stef and Lena loved that, she was the closest they would get.
"I know baby girl. But you need to get better and that means not running around and getting yourself worked up." Stef explained as she sat on the stool next to Rylan and plucked her out of her own stool and sat her on her lap. Both moms loved their snuggle time with each of their children even though some of them really didn't like to show their soft side, such as Jesus.
"Can we watch Bee?" Rylan whispered as she snuggled into her mom more. She missed the hugs and the kisses and the bonding time with the family. She vowed to never do that again.
Stef looked at Lena with a smile and then kissed Rylans temple before answering the little girl.
"Im sure that can be arranged sweets." Rylan nodded at the answer her mom gave her. Lena sat a plate down in front of the two snuggled together on the stool. Stef picked the fork up and speared a piece of egg, bringing it to Rylans mouth, Stef waiting for the little girl to eat it. What she didn't expect was the little girl to turn her head and push the fork away.
"You need to eat baby girl." Rylan shook her head at her Mama. Her throat hurt too much to eat, just like last night.
"Its soft, it wont hurt your throat." Stef tried to get her to eat but she wouldn't. Giving a sigh, Stef looked at Lena with concern, Lena shrugged at her wife then continued to look at her daughter. Both mothers concerned, hoping that she would eat soon.
The smell of breakfast filling the house, woke the other kids and one by one the entered the kitchen and sat at the stool after greeting everyone.

Callie was watching Rylan from the corner of her eyes the entire time they ate breakfast, the little girl remained in her moms lap throughout breakfast and didn't speak or eat, she was definitely sick but the pressure of releasing her secret must have been a relief.
It had been hard to see her little sister hiding such a big secret from someone. The pressure to keep it a secret was intense for herself let alone her little sister. She was hoping that her mom could find something about Rylans past with the new information.
Just like his oldest sister, Jude was also watching his little sister. Ever since Rylan had come into their lives, he had been in big brother mode and loved every moment of it.
"Do you want a yoghurt, baby girl?" Jude heard his mom whisper into his little sisters ear. He remember from last night that his little sisters throat was saw and the breakfast that Mama had made wasn't going to help her throat at all.
Both Callie and Jude had the same thought when they looked at their sister refusing to eat.
"Why not try her with fruit smoothies?" Callie suggested Both moms looked at her in surprise.
"Yeah, milk isn't a good idea cause it makes the throat and mouth feel yucky. Callie use to make me fruit smoothies when my throat was saw. Its cold so it helps." Callie smiled at her younger brother. To this day, they were still on the same wavelength and usually had the same thoughts and ideas.
Both moms looked from the two children and then back down to their youngest who was smiling a little.
"Does that sound good Mini? You want a fruit smoothie?" Mini nodded as she smiled. She was hungry and nothing they had made for breakfast or dinner agreed with her throat but a cold smoothie did.
"A fruit smoothie it is." Lena said smiling as she got up to make a smoothie for the little girl. Happily smiling to herself that the little girl was going to have something in her belly.

With it being a weekend, most of the kids had plans and were off out and about after breakfast. Today was different, Jesus was off with Hayley and Brandon was off with Lou sorting out stuff for the band.
That left, Jude Mariana, Callie and Rylan with the moms.
Jude, Mariana, Callie and Rylan were upstairs getting ready for the day and then they were going to watch movies in the moms bedroom and hang together.
With the kids out of sight and out of hearing range, Stef was able to call Bill. The new information Rylan had given them was another step closer to finding out the little girls identity.
Phoning Bill was one of the many things on their list of thing to do today. Dealing with Bill first and then talking to Callie were the main priorities for now.
Lena sat at the dining table with Rylans file in front of her while Stef made the call to Bill. Punching the number in she brought the phone to her ear and waited for the case worker to answer.
"Hello, Bill Harrington speaking." the case worker answered in his usual greeting. Stef rolled her eyes and then took a deep breath before answering.
"Hey, Bill its Stef Foster." The usual greeting, Stef could hear Bill sigh from the other end. Usually if one of his cases foster parents called him, then something was always wrong. He dreaded each time he picked up his phone.
"Oh, hi Stef. What can I do for you?" Stef could hear the nerves in his voice and couldn't help but smirk. She understood about the case workers getting phone calls from foster parents may be daunting for them.
"We have new information on Rylan that you will probably be interested in. What I am about to tell you will need to be investigated further, I think she is in danger." Stef tried to explain the best way possible. There was silence on the other end before Bill let out a breath and cleared his throat before answering.
"Oh, has she been hurt already? Is she alright?" Genuine concern and shock laced the older mans voice. Bill was, is one of only a few case workers that Stef had encountered that actually gave a damn about the kids in the system and she was very glad that her children had been put on his work load.
"Bill shes fine now, she ignored us for a day and a bit because she ran into a man at the park from her past and he threatened to kill us if she spoke. Long story short Bill, she told us that the man at the park killed her mom." Stef explained. There was no easy way to say it, so she just said it like you do when you rip a band aid off, fast.
"Wait so her life could be in danger, your lives could be in danger. Do you have a description of the man?" Stef looked at Lena in defeat. Stef forgot to get the information of the man when she talked to Rylan. She was a cop, how could she have forgotten such valuable information like a description.
Lena gave Stef a small smile in encouragement, she couldn't hear the other side of the conversation but she was letting her wife know that she was their to support her, like she always did.
"No we don't, we are going to ask her a bit later but if you could find any deaths that were reported around the time Rylan was found, that would narrow the search of finding her birth mom." Stef new what Bills next questions would be and she was ready, she began to slowly pace from the back door to the table and back again.
"Why can't you look into it?" And there it was, why couldn't she do it? Stef wanted to but she knew that she couldn't, it was personal.
"I would but It would be a personal issue and since im personally involved, I cant. If we find the guy that murdered her mom and it went to court the defence could use It against us." Stef heard Bill sigh from the other end. She knew she could look up the information but she didn't want to ruin any chances.
"Alright, Ill look into it. Just email me the details of what the man looks like so I can narrow the search as well." Stef nodded into the phone, realising he couldn't see her. Stef looked out the window into the backyard and then turned back to her wife and placing a hand on her shoulder and then bendng down to place a kiss on Lenas temple.
"Alright, I will , thanks Bill." Stef didn't know what else to say. She had reported to Bill her findings, but she wished she could do more, she felt like she needed to do more.
"No problem Stef, the sooner we find her identity the better. I have to go im late." Bill spoke hurriedly, it sounded like he was running or walking really fast as he was out of breath.
"Alright thanks again Bill. Bye."
Bye Stef." With the one sentence, the line went dead and Stef sighed before hanging up as well and placing her phone on the bench and taking a seat at the table next to her wife who was currently writing on sticky notes to place in the file.
"Hes going to look into it." Was all that Stef said, knowing what her wife was thinking. Lena nodded and continued to write while Stef got up to make herself some coffee.

Mariana and Jude were setting up everything for their movie bonding time in the moms room while they waited for Rylan and Callie to do what they needed to do.
Rylan peeked into the room where they were and smiled before heading in the direction of her room she shared with her sisters.
She stood at the door looking in on her oldest sister. Callie was to engrossed with writing that she didn't even notice her sister standing at the door.
"Lee is back isnt he." Rylan whispered as she looked at her sister writing furiously in her diary. Callies head shot up at the sound of her little sister saying the monsters name. Slowly closing her diary, Callie gestured for Rylan to come sit with her.
"Why do you think hes back?" Callie wanted to figure out what Rylan knew before she actually confirmed it. Rylan sat in Callies lap, looking at her fingers.
Deciding that it was better to show then explain, Rylan pulled Callies sleeve up and stroked the purplish blue bruise she found on her oldest sisters wrist. Callie let out a little gasp, she had tried so hard to hid them but she has come to learn that she couldn't hide anything from her little sister.
"Yeah he is baby. Im trying my best to keep him away from us. Im trying to keep you all safe." Rylan stood from Callies lap and placed both of her hands on her sisters cheeks.
"Tell mommy. She will keep us safe." Callie let out a small laugh. She knew her little sister was right, something so simple as telling her cop mother was the best solution and right now Callie had no plan and no way of keeping her family safe. Where as Stef had a uniform, a gun, her job was to protect and serve.
"How do you always know the right things to say?" Callie whispered kissing Rylans cheek and pulling her in for a hug. Rylan shrugged from her spot in her eldest sisters arms.
"Ill tell moms, I promise. Thankyou." Callie whispered. She knew it was easy to say to her sister but once she faced her moms it would be different. She had to try and build the courage to tell her moms. She wished she had gone to them straight away but, she just couldn't.
Sorry, another small one, just hard to find time to write. I apologise.
