Previously:
"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. Thank you." 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.

Callie stood out at the bottom of the stairs. Jude, Mariana and Rylan were upstairs watching transformers for like the hundredth time. She knew it was now or never, she had gained enough courage to talk to her moms.
Taking a breath, Callie stepped off of the bottom step and headed into the living room where her moms were just sitting together relaxing reading a book each, something she rarely sees them do and she wishes she didn't have to interrupt them.
"Ummm, moms?" Callie calls, startling her parents. Both moms looked up and smiled at their daughter. Placing their books down and looking at their daughter to continue whatever she needs to do or ask.
"Hey sweetie, whats up?" Lena asked with a comforting smile.
"I need to tell you something." Callie hesitantly entered the room more and then took a seat on the coffee table infront of them. Lena and Stef looked at each other. They both knew what Callie was going to say and they planned on talking to her tonight but now that she was sitting infront of them and ready to talk was a bit of a relief.
"We are all ears bug." Stef smiled encouragingly.
"I need you to promise me you wont get mad." Both Stef and Lena tensed. Whenever one of the kids said that line, they were going to get mad. Stef took a deep breath and let it out before answering.
"Ill try Callie but I can't promise." Callie took that answer anyway. Taking a deep breath Callie started to talk.
"I umm...Liam threatened the family." Callie blurted out as she looked at her moms for their reactions. Lena and Stef both looked tense, she didn't know if she should continue or not.
"When exactly and where?" Stefs cop mode turned on. Lena and Stef knew something had happened because Wyatt had said something but they really didn't want it to be Liam and now that Callie had confirmed it , Stef was beyond angry, she was pissed off. Mama tiger was out.
"It was the Thursday, the day after the interview. He confronted me after school, when I was walking home." Lena let out a sigh. She knew that she shouldn't have let her daughter walk home alone, she should have got Stef to pick their child up, she felt guilty and angry.
"You were alone, I am sorry Cal. Rylan and I should have picked you up." Stef was also blaming herself. Stef couldn't believe that Liam would be that stupid to threaten her family and touch her daughter.
"Mom its alright. You were busy." Callie tried to wave it off but the moms weren't backing down. Callie knew her moms were protective and that Liam had messed with the wrong family.
"Did he hurt you?" Both moms knew about the wrists but had not seen them and they hoped there was nothing else.
"Well...umm...not really." They could tell that Callie was lying. Over the last year they had figured out bits and pieced of Callies emotions by the way she holds herself and her facial gestures.
"Show me?" Stef wasn't asking she was demanding but her tone wasn't as strong as she usually uses. She placed her hand on Callies knee and looked into the girls eyes, hoping to catch some sort of emotion. Fear, Pain and sadness coated those brown eyes she loved so much, the same brown eyes her wife has.
"Its not a big deal." Callie said as she let out a sigh. From the way her moms were looking at her, she knew that they knew. She had one guess as to who it was and although she is mad, she knew Wyatt was only looking out for her.
"Callie show me now!" Stefs tone was now very demanding. It was the tone she uses when she speaks to the criminals and she hated using it on her children. Right now she needed to make sure her daughter is fine and the need to protect her kids releases the mama tiger in her and she cant stop.
Callie fiddled with the sleeves of her jumper before slowly sliding them up. The finger shaped bruises on her wrist were a sight. Callie heard her Mama take a deep breath and also she Heard her mom sigh and thats when she felt the tears well up in her eyes.
"Callie, you should have told us straight away. it could have been worse then the bruises, he could have really hurt you." Stef explained. Her hands were holding her daughters, examining the bruises that covered the the young girls skin, skin that should never have been bruised. Stef couldn't help how her heart broke at the sight of her eldest daughter who had her head bowed and tears falling onto her jeans.
"I know now, im sorry I just wanted to try and work things out on my own but I couldn't and Im sorry. I don't know what I would do if I lost you. Ive already lost my mom and my dad and I dont want to loose my moms." Her head still bowed as she sniffled through her crying, squeezing her moms hands in her own, the gesture saying that shes sorry in so many ways.
Stef put a finger under Callies chin, bringing the young girls face to her own, Stef wiped away the tears on Callies cheek that had slowed and leant into give her a big hug, Callie immediately falling into her mothers arms.
Lena lent over and hugged the two of them. She could never be jealous of how much Callie and Stef bonded together. The two of them had a special bond that no one could explain and that was ok with her because she had a special bond with Jude. Seeing her wife and oldest daughter comfort each other and just be together made her smile. Lena pulled back and wiped a tear from her own eye as she watched Stef pull Callie at arms length so they could look each other in the eye.
"Callie, it would kill us if anything happened to you. We are your moms now, we are there to protect you. You can always, always rely on us and we will always be there for you whenever you need us. We will always love you." Lena smiled at Stef speech, Stef had a way with words. She may be a big tough cop outside of the house, but inside she was a big softy that loved her children and wife more then life itself.
Callie sighed and gave a small smile. Looking at her Mama and then Her mom, she grabbed Stefs left hand in her left and Lenas right hand in her right. Giving them both a small squeeze she spoke.
"I know, im still trying to let you in. I love you so much, and I just dont want to lose you because I am to stubborn." Both Lena and Stef chuckled as Callie let out a small smile at her words. That was true.
"You are definitely stubborn bug. We know you hid it from us because you are still learning to be not so independent and take the world on, on your own. We are here to carry some of that so you can be a teenager and not have to worry about all those problems. We know you have been through a lot, but as your moms let us in more often, please." Callie nodded with a smile. Her tears had subsided and now her cheeks were only left with the small tracks where they had tried.
"I will, im sorry it was stupid of me." Callie whispered out.
"Its alright, we understand. We love you bug and you are definitely not stupid. Stubborn yes, Stupid, never." All three laughed at Stef words before Callie launched into the two womens arms. Hugging them tightly like the lifeline she always needs.
"I love you both, so so much." Calllie whispered from her position between the moms heads as she hugged them. She placed a kiss on Stefs cheek before turning her head and kissing Lenas cheek.
"We love you bug." Both Lena and Stef whispered out, both had a smile that the conversation had gone better then expected.
Callie ended up turning around so that she was sitting in between her moms on the sofa, she ended up turning so her head was on her Mamas lap and her legs were dangled over her moms lap. Lena was running her hands through Callies long brown hair while Stef just held onto Callies legs.
The three sat in silence, enjoying the feeling of being together. Callies small smile still plastered on her face, knowing that she had done the right thing by going to her mom, even though it wasn't straight away. The weight off of her shoulders was gone and now she felt a lot better for releasing her secret.
"What are we going to do now?" Callie whisperd looking up at her Mama from the position she was in. She knew this had to be reported but she didn't know what her moms wanted to do. Stef turned to look at her daughter who was smiling at her Mama. A smile formed on her own face at the sight. Clearing her throat so that her wife and daughter would look at her.
"Well, im going to have to take you down to the station so we can report it and get more evidence against Liam." Stef explained and she couldn't help cursing internally at saying his name when she felt her daughter tense.
"Yeah in know, im still so sorry." Stef rolled her eyes but still had a smile. Lena smiled aswell, leaning down and placing a kiss on her daughters forehead.
"We know you are sorry , now you know for next time that you come to us when you are in trouble, which I hope doesn't happen." Lena said, getting a nod from Callie.
"Alright, lets go join your brother and sisters upstairs." Stef announced, trying to lighten the mood and to get Callies mind off of Liam and his threats. She would deal with it later, right now her daughter needed comfort and not interviews.
"Sounds like a plan." Lena said as she stood up when Callie moved from her lap. The three of them headed upstairs to the master bedroom to join the other three up there.

Moms look, bee is on." Rylan announced as she saw her mothers and oldest sister enter the room. She could see that her sister had been crying and her moms didn't look mad so the talk Callie had, obviously had gone ok.
"We see that sweetie. Can we join you?" Lena asked looking at her three youngest children sitting in the bed under a mountain of blankets, snuggled up together watching the movie. All three in the bed shook their heads and made room for their moms and oldest sister.
Stef lifted Rylan and sat against the headboard before putting the little girl between her legs so that her back was against Stefs chest. Mariana curled into Stefs side with Callie curled up next to Lena on the other side while Jude was laying down with his head on his Mamas lap.
"I love this." Mariana whispered after a few minutes.
"Love what baby?" Stef whispered back looking at her daughter snuggled up to her side.
"Bonding and snuggling with my moms and siblings." Mariana explained as she snuggled into her mom more and pulling the covers up closer to her chin.
"You know what sweets, So do I." Stef whispered, placing a kiss on Marianas temple and then one on Rylans.
