Previously:
"You should put yourself first aswell Callie. You have two amazing moms that will protect you. You are one brave girl and a hero in my eye." Officer Jones smiled. He never thought he would say that a teenage girl would be a hero, but there was a first for everything. Callie smiled.
"Really? Im not a hero?" Callie asked confused as she looked between the two officers both nodding a smiling.
"You are Callie, trust us when we say you are. You are an extraordinary teenager, your family is lucky to have you." Callie nodded and grabbed her moms hands. Looking at each of them before whispering
"Im the lucky one."

"Im really proud of you." Lena whispered into her daughters ear as the three of them left the police station. Stef was on her lunch break and she was going to spend it with her wife and daughter.
"I love you guys." Callie whispered back as she gave each of her moms a hug. Heading towards the parking lot, Lenas phone began to ring, looking down at it, Marianas name flashed across the screen.
"Hey sweetie. How is everyone?" Lena smiled at her wife and daughter as they talked together and interacted like they normally do.
"Mama, its Rylan." Lena could hear the panic in Marianas voice and she feared the worse.
"Whats wrong?" Lenas tone caught Stef and Callies attention, the two of them stopping the silly things they were doing to look at Lena with concern.
"She needs to go to the hospital, shes got a really high fever, shes sweating and really pale, she winces when her eyes are open. Shes not doing good. You need to come home." Mariana listed off the things that her mama would need to know, she hoped she had gotten most of it.
"Alright im on my way, try to get her to drink something ok." Lena says as she hurriedly grabs the keys to her car and opens it. Stef grabs her arm stopping her.
"Ok mama, just hurry." Was the last thing Lena heard before the line went dead. Lena wiped away a tear that had fallen before looking at her wife, who was looking really concerned.
"Lena?" Stef wanted to know, she needed to know right now. Lena took a breath and faced her wife and eldest daughter before speaking.
"Its rylan, shes not doing well, we have to take her to the hospital." Lena managed to get out. Stef kissed Lena on the lips and then Callies temple pushing them into the car to hurry them up.
"Ill meet you at the hospital, message me whats going on and where you are so I can find you. I need to talk to the captain." Stef got out as Lena started the car and pulled out.
Stef ran a hand down her face before taking a deep breath to calm herself before heading into the police station, her mind set on talking to her captain.

Lena and Callie arrived home twenty minutes later. They headed inside and there was no one downstairs which meant everyone was upstairs. Heading up the stairs with Callie behind her, Lena entered the room to see Rylan and Jude snuggled up on Rylans bed, Brandon and Jesus on Marianas bed with Mariana kneeling beside the bed Rylan and Jude were on.
Heading over to where Rylan was laying with Jude, Lena knelt on the floor and placed her hand on her sweaty daughters forehead. She was indeed boiling but the shivers indicated she was cold. Her poor baby.
"Brandon, go start my car please." Lean threw her keys to Brandon. Jude tried to scoot out of the bed but Rylans tight grip on his shirt, meant that he couldn't move.
Scooting and pulling Rylan with him, Jude managed to stand with Rylan in his arms. Rylan was to tired and sore to do anything but bury her face into her brothers neck. Lena would have taken a photo at the cute moment but her child was sick and there was no time for that.
Lena reached over and grabbed the throw blanket from Callies bed and tucked it around Rylan before indicating that Jude could go.
"Ill take her down to the car." Jude whispered as he headed out of the bedroom and down the stairs. The concern and fear etched on his face as he looked at his sister in the light of the living room. He heard her wince and so with his teeth he pulled the blanket up over her head to hid her face from the sun.
"I got you little sis."

"I want mommy too." Rylan whined as she pulled the blanket tightly around her and snuggled closer to her Mama on the hospital bed. Lena let a tear fall at the sound of her little girls soft and barely there voice, she quickly wiped the tear away and stroked her little girls hair. Trying to offer as much comfort and love as she could to her sick child. Lena pulled out her phone and messaged Stef everything she needed to know so that she could be here.
Rylan sat snuggled close to her Mama, her brothers and sisters were at home and her mommy was at work. She had a IV in her arm and she hated it because every time she wanted to move the IV would pull and she didn't want it to come out since it hurt when they put it in.
A knock on the door startled the two of them.
"Ahhh Miss Rylan. How are you doing beautiful girl? Is this your other Mom?" Doctor Jamie Gleeson strode into the room and smiled at the Carmel skinned women in the bed with her patient. Rylan just nodded and let out a yawn.
"Hi, Im Dr Jamie Gleeson. I met your wife last time. Ill be Rylans doctor whenever she comes in." Dr Jamie introduced herself to Lena. Lena held out her hand for the women DR to shake.
"Lena Adams – Foster, nice to meet you." Lena smiled. Dr Jamie started to do an examination on Rylan. Testing her reflexes, hearing her chest etc.
"Now from what I have been told and diagnosed her with not long ago and what her chart says, she still has her respiratory infection and is moving on to become pneumonia but I want to do an x-ray and a few other tests to confirm. It also looks like the antibiotics that we prescribed her have had no effect what so ever." Lena cut the doctor off.
"Wait, how can they not have any effect?" Lena looked from her daughter, to the doctor and then back again before running a hand through the little girls sweaty locks.
"Since we have no medical file for her, we have no idea if she got sick a lot when she was younger. If she did and doctors just gave her antibiotic after antibiotic, that would make her become immune to them and make it a lot harder for her to get better." The doctor looked at the little girl in the bed, trying her best to come up with a way to help the poor child who looks to have been through a lot.
"So what do we do?" Lena asked worried. She stared the doctor in the face. Lena was really scared and fearing the worst for her daughter. The doctor sighed.
"Im going to send her for some tests and then we can go from there." Dr Jamie explained. Lena nodded, she hoped her daughter would recover quickly, she hated seeing any of her kids really sick or hurt.
"Ok, thankyou. Just do whatever you can to help her. Shes been through so much." Lena whispered out as she began to stroke Rylans back. The little girl had fallen asleep cuddled into her Mama as the adults had talked.
"I will Mrs Adams foster. Shes in safe hands." Dr Jamie said as she exited the room to go order some tests.
"Whens mommy coming?" Rylan wheezed out, blinking away the sleep, even though she was really sleepy she wanted both of her moms.
"She will be here soon baby girl." Lena pulled Rylan onto her lap, being careful that the IV didn't come out. Laying Rylan on her stomach with her head on her chest, so that their stomachs were touching, Lena ran a hand up and down the little girls back trying anything she can to soothe the little girl into sleep, sleep that she needed in order to heal and get better.

"Hey Love, Wheres our girl?" Stef asked as she walked in to the hosptial room and went to her wife to give her a peck in greeting. Lena was sitting on the chair in the room and the bed was missing.
"They took her for an X-ray." Stef pulled Lena up off the chair and took a seat on it herslef before pulling her wife into her lap and wrapping her arms around her brunette wife.
"What did the doctor say? Anything New?" Stef wondered, she lent her head againsts Lenas neck and took a deep breath.
"Dr Jamie Gleeson thinks that she may have Pneumonia. The antibiotics they gave her for the respiratory infection had no effect and since there is no medical file for our girl, they cant tell why the antibiotics arn't working. Dr Gleeson thinks that Rylan might have been very sick when she was younger and they gave her to much antibiotics and now she maybe immune to them and its probably going to be a lot harder to get her better because of it." Lena got out. Just thinking about it made her angry, angry at the world and whoever hurt her.
"So we just have to wait and see what the doctors can do for her. Dr Jamie looks like a decent doctor who cares. She really cares for her patients from what I can tell." Stef explained. Lena Leant more into her wife and sighed.
"I went home to change and spoke to the kids, thats why I got here a bit late. I told them we would update them when we have news. They wanted to come down but I told them no because there was nothing they could do here. They weren't happy but they agreed." Stef explained.
"We do have amazing kids don't we." Lena smiled as she kissed Stef on the lips.
"We sure do love." Stef whispered out tucking a piece of her blonde hair that had fallen out of her ponytail ans then placing a gentle kiss to Lenas neck just as the door to the room was filled with the bed, signalling that their daughter was back.
Rylan smiled weakly at the sight of both of her moms. The nurses settle the bed in the right spot before exiting the room so that the doctor could talk with the patients parents.
"Little miss was a very brave girl. She listened really well aswell." Dr Jamie beamed at the little girl. Stef walked over to stand beside the bed and give her daughter a smile and then a big kiss on the cheek.
"I love you mommy." Rylan whispered out as she brought her hands up to wrap around Stefs neck. Stef slid into the bed with Rylan and sat with her in the same position Lena had been in earlier. Rylans face in Stefs neck and her legs straddling Stefs stomach made the little girl sigh. She felt so much better in the arms of her Mama or Mommy.
"So what are the results?" Lena asked as she tucked the blanket around the little girl who was starting to drift off in her mommys arms.
"Ok from the xray we were able to see something around her lungs and we couldn't really see much so we needed to take her to get a CT scan to confirm before we do anything that we don't need to do."
"And those results?" Stef asked from the bed as she rubbed her hand up and down Rylans back.
"We found a Large amount of fluid in her chest cavity which is causing her to breath the way she is." The doctor explained looking at the two women.
"Isn't there suppose to be fluid there anyway?" Lena asked confused.
"Yes there is. fluid in the chest cavity is normal, we all have it but Rylans chest cavity has to much. The small amount of fluid that is normally there helps to lubricate the lungs and chest to facilitate breathing. But to much causes a dry cough, shortness of breath and trouble breathing when lying down, Which is why we have to remove it." Dr Jamie explained to the two women, who were both listening intently and nodding at the right time.
"So how are you going to remove it. Can you explain the procedure as best as you can?" Stef asked the doctor. She needed to know exactly what her daughter was going to have done to her body.
"Ok well a needle or a small tube will be inserted into the chest after we have given her a local anaesthetic, We will be able to drain it out that way and then once it is removed we will inject a drug into the area which causes the membrane that lines the lungs to close up to stop any leaking.
Because we think she is immune to the antibiotics, I want to give her a stronger medicine that we use for people that have become immune, the medicine will make her sleepy but wont have any major side effects. I have booked an OR for her, she is too young to be awake and I don't want to scare her."
"Ok, will she be able to come home tonight or would it be better for her to stay over night for observation?" Stef asked after taking in all the information that the doctor had given her.
"I would like to keep her in for observation and so that I know for sure that the medication I will be giving her works. She will be saw for a few days from the draining so keep that in mind. Ill let you know more tomorrow when she leaves, we will be taking her to the OR to do the draining very have a nurse come in and prep her in about half an hour." Lena and Stef nodded as the doctor gave one more look at the three of them before heading out, it was going to be a long
night.
