As Stef entered the bathroom she looked from the bath and then to the shower. Rylan had been getting use to sitting in water and now Stef had an idea.
"Rylan, wanna try the big bath tonight?" Stef asked as she knelt on the bathmat infront of the shower and turn to look at the little girl in the doorway who was currently pulling her shirt over her head. Once the shirt was off she shook her head and took one step back looking at her mom with wide eyes.
"Its just like the shower bath but it will be a bit deeper. I promise to be here the whole time." Stef looked at Rylan. She hoped the little girl would overcome her fear and get in the bath.
Stef continued to watch Rylan analyse in her head. She could see the little girls brow furrow as she looked from the bath then to the shower and back to the bath. She was definitely deep in thought.
"Promise?" Rylan whispered. Stef almost didn't even hear her. A smile graced her face as she held a hand out fro Rylan to come towards her.
"I promise." Stef smiled as she looked at Rylan. Rylan took Stefs hand so that the two of them were eye level next to the shower. Rylan looked to the floor as she grabbed a piece of Stef hair and played with it with her fingers as she thought. Stef waited patiently, this was a slow process that she was willing to go through, it was needed.
"Ok, ill try." Rylan finally whispered, making Stef smile and pull Rylan into a hug. Rylan giggled a little.
"Good girl, Just try thats all I ask." Rylan nodded, she would try. She didn't want to be afraid of things. Her moms took baths and so did her sisters, so they can't be that bad.
Rylan got out of the rest of her clothes as Stef filled the bath. She didn't make it too hot, nor too cold. Just warm and not so deep. She hoped Rylan would be ok with it and not freak out.
Without a word between the two, Rylan grabbed Stefs shoulder and slowly stepped into the bath. She stood in the bath for a moment and just looked at the water around her feet. It felt good and it didn't hurt like the last time she had a bath in a real bath.
"Is it alright baby girl?" Stef cautiously asked as Rylan slowly sat in the bath, her face was down so Stef couldn't tell what the girls emotions were. Stef was rewarded with a big smile as Rylan lifted her head to look at her mom.
"I like baths mommy. Its not like the last bath I had." A smile stuck on her face as she said this. Rylan stretched her legs out in the water and used her hands to pick up some of the bubbles and blow them at Stef.
"See nothing scary." Stef was over the moon as she placed the little girls toys in the water. Her little girl was finally in a bath and no longer had to sit on the bottom of a shower. It was a major accomplishment and she needed to tell Lena.
"LENA! Come check this out." Stef said after she had stood up and walked to the bathroom door to call down the stairs.
"Mama is going to be so happy." Stef said as she wiped away a single tear, a tear of complete happiness. Rylan was to busy with her bath toys to notice her mom was crying happy tears.
"Why?" Rylan asked, still not looking up from her toys.
"Because you overcame a major fear and I am proud of you and I know Mama will be too." Stef explained, leaning against the open bathroom door. Lena would be up in a moment.
"Hey what...YOU'RE IN THE BATH!" Lena entered the bathroom and spotted the little girl in the bath and she squealed , Rylan looked up from her toys and smiled a bright smile.
"I love baths mama." Rylan happily replied holding up her toys and bubbles to show her Mama. Lena walked over to the edge of the bath and knelt down so she could look at her daughter playing in the bath. She was overwhelmed with so many emotions.
"I see that." Lena smiled and pushed a piece of hair behind Rylans ear as she watched the little girl play with a rubber duck and a boat.
"Im so proud of you." Lena whispered, tears of happiness fell down her cheeks. Rylan looked up and her smile faded at seeing her Mama crying.
"Mama don't cry." Rylan said as she knelt in the bath infront of her Mama and wiped the tears falling. Lena smiled and held Rylans hand against her cheek before turning her head and planting a kiss to the palm of the little girls hand.
"Im crying happy tears baby girl." Lena smiled as she ran a hand through Rylans hair. Rylan smiled and then sat back down.
"Oh ok." Was Rylans response, this had Lena and Stef chuckling as Rylan went back to playing with her toys.
Seeing that Rylan was occupied in the bath, Lena stood up and went over to her wife. Stef wrapped an arm around Lenas shoulders as they watched their daughter play in the bath. They would clean her with a cloth in a few minutes, right now they just wanted her to get a good experience with the bath.
"How did you get her to go in the bath?" Lena whispered, she was curious. Stef chuckled.
"I promised I would be here the whole time." Lena chuckled as well.
"A promise. I should have known."

Rylan was laying in the bed as she watched her mom fold the washing. She had only just woken up and crawled sleepily into her moms bed because she knew that her brothers and sisters were at school and so was her Mama leaving just her and her mom home for now. Rylan was a little jealous of them but she knew in time she would be going to school.
"Do I have to go to the doctors mommy?" Rylan asked after a few quiet moments, she knew today was her doctrs appointment and she didn't want to go, she felt fine. Stef looked up from folding one of Marianas shirts, to gaze at her youngest daughter laying in the bed.
"Well yes...but guess what?" Stef said, she knew Rylan was against the doctors but the little blonde really needed it.
"What?" Rylan asked with a raised eyebrow, seeming interested at what her mom wants her to guess.
"If the doctor says your all clear, we can go to the school today and we can meet your teacher and some of your classmates and then you can go to school tomorrow." Stef said in a very happy voice, hopefully Rylan would think it was a good idea.
"Really?" Rylan gave her mom a large smile, she wasn't believing what she was hearing.
"Well, yeah...only if you go to the doctors though." Stef picked up another shirt and began to fold it as Rylan contemplated on what she wanted to do.
"Lets go to the doctors then." Stef burst out laughing as Rylan kicked off the covers and stood up on the bed ready to go get dressed. Stef grabbed Rylan by wrapping her arms around the little girls waist and making her lay on the bed so she could tickle her.
Rylan burst out into laugher as her mom slammed her onto the bed and began to tickle her.
"Mommy...Stop." Rylan giggled out but Stef wouldn't give up her tickle attack.
"Say mommy is the best and Ill stop." Rylan shook her head, she wasn't going to say it and Stef knew that she wasn't so she continued to tickle her.
"Say mommy is the best." Stef tried again. She continued to laugh as the little blonde was going red in the face from laughter.
"mom...mommy is...is the best." Rylan giggled out, finally giving up because her stomach was hurting from all the laughing. Stef stopped tickling the little girl and sat beside her on the bed.
"Aint it the truth." Rylan rolled her eyes up at her mom. Stef poked her tongue out at her daughter, Rylan copying.
"Lets go to the doctors now." Rylan panted as she got her breathing back to normal, still not moving from the bed. Stef chuckled and pushed some of Rylans hair out of her face.
"We cant go till after lunch Missy." Rylan let out a groan causing Stef to chuckle again, that earned her a glare from the little girl.
"But thats a looooooooooong time away." Rylan sighed out as she put her hands over her eyes. The innocence her daughter was displaying was highly amusing to Stef, she couldn't help but chuckle again for the hundredth time this morning.
"No its not sweetie, we can eat breakfast, get dressed watch a movie and then its doctors time." Stef said trying to make the time not seem forever to the little girl. Stef continued to stroke the little girls hair as Rylan thought about what her mom had said.
"Oh alright...can I have pancakes for breakfast mommy?" Rylan used her puppy dog eyes that usually worked on her Mommy but rarely worked on her Mama.
"Pancakes huh?" Stef asked with a raised eyebrow. She found it really hard to say no to the puppy dog eyes, and right now she was finding it really hard. It was only pancakes, so she shrugged.
"I guess so." Rylan beamed and stood up on the bed, jumping around. Stef rolled her eyes but a smile was planted on her face.
"Yay yay yay yay yay." Rylan chanted as she jumped.
"Someones happy, who knew school could make a kid happy." Stef mumbled as she too stood up, she yanked Rylan off the bed and threw her over her shoulder and headed downstairs. The little girl laughing the entire was down the stairs.

Time flow by and before both blondes knew it, it was 12pm and Rylan was conked out on the sofa after playing outside for a bit. Stef had the common sense to dress Rylan before she fell asleep and so lifting the sleeping child into her arms, Stef made her way to the car. Rylan stirred once while she was buckled into the car, but she managed to drift back off as Stef reversed out the driveway and headed towards the doctors.
As she drove, Stef hoped and prayed that the little girl would be given the all clear to go back to school. The excitement the little blonde had shown about school would hopefully remain, she prayed that the little girl would be given the ok otherwise she would have a very cranky 7 year old on her hands.
Stef pulled up into the hospital parking bay and managed to get Rylan out without waking her. Hopefully they can get the exam over with then go have a late lunch with Lena. Speaking of Lena, Stef managed to pull her phone out and type a quick message to her wife as she walked into the hospital.
"Hey my love. You ok with late lunch with us?" Was Stefs message to her wife. Stef smiled as she saw the familiar figure of Dr Jamie Gleeson at the reception desk when she walked in. As soon as Stef walked over Dr Gleeson turned and smiled.
"Someone fall alseep?" Dr Gleeson smiled as she ran a hand up and down Rylans back. Stef let out a sigh but smiled.
"Yeah, had too much fun playing outside this morning. Fell asleep on the sofa."
"Well you are my next patient so follow me." Dr Jamie said as she led Stef and Rylan through. The little girl stirring a bit as she switched her head from facing towards her moms neck, to look the other way. Stefs phone jingled in her pocket indicating a message, she knew it would be Lena and so she just waited till she got Rylan on the hospital bed before she answered.
"Mommy?" Rylan mumbled as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and raised her head to look around. Stef sa rylan on the bed so she could answer her phone and let Dr Gleeson examine Rylan.
"Hello Rylan, how was your nap?" Dr gleeson said as she sat on a rolling stool and rolled it so she could sit infront of Rylan.
"Hi Dr Jamie." Rylan said after she yawned and rubbed her eyes. Dr Gleeson smiled, Rylan is such a cute kid.
"Is it alright if I take your top off so we can check your injury?" Dr Gleeson said as she slipped on some gloves and Rylan just nodded. Stef helped Rylan remove her top so that the Doctor could get to the wound.
"Looks like you guys did an amazing job at cleaning it and the dissolvable stitches did the trick." Stef smiled. She was thinking the best news right now but she was still praying.
"School now?" Rylan looked at Dr Jamie hopefully then to her mom and back again.
"Well Rylan from the looks of this I think you can but I need to take you to get a scan to check your chest. Is that alright?" Rylan shrugged. She just wanted to go get this over with so she could go to school.
"Ok, we will go get the scan done and then we will go from there. Are you ok to wait here Mom?" Dr Gleeson said to Rylan then looked at Stef. Stef nodded.
"Thats fine." Stef said as she helped put Rylans top back on her and then Rylan and Dr Gleeson left the room for the scan.
Stef was now able to check her messages. She had one from Mike and one from Lena. She looked at the one from Lena first.
"Hey honey. Late lunch sounds really good. Im swamped with paperwork." Lena had replied.
"Ok, cant wait. Love you." Stef sent back and so while she waited for Lena to reply she checked the message from Mike.
"Hey Stef, Brandon still ok to come over tonight for dinner?" Stef rolled her eyes and replied. Sometimes Mike still thought that Brandon was a child and couldn't think for himself. Brandon had his own phone and Mike had his number. 'MEN, no wonder im gay.' Stef thought shaking her head.
"Yes Mike, its fine by me. Message him and see if he still wants to go." Halfway through that message she got one from Lena.
"Love you too." Stef smiled at the love you message. No mater how many times Lena said she loves her, it always made Stef feel gooey inside. Stef sat down on the seat in the room and grabbed one of the magazines to read while she waited.

"Mommy, mommy, mommy I can go to school." Rylan said as she flew into the room and onto Stefs lap. Stef let out an oooph sound as she caught her. Dr Jamie enetering just behind Rylan.
"She can go to school. The scan wasn't really concerning. She has a little bit of fluid but thats alright, its nothing to be concerned about. So shes free to go." Dr Gleeson informed as Stef stood up, Rylan on her hip.
"Thankyou. Thats great news. Rylan...say by to Dr Jamie?" Stef smiled looking at her daughter. Thanking god that she was ok.
"Bye Dr Jamie, thank you for making me all better." Rylan smiled out. Stef and Dr Jamie chuckled.
"Awww your welcome sweetie. Im glad your better now. Go have fun with your mommy." Dr Jamie said as smiled at Rylan. Sticking her hand in her pocket, Dr Jamie brought out an orange lollipop and showed Rylan.
"Please Mommy?" Rylan gave her a pouty face ans Stef rolled her eyes, while Dr Jamie chuckled.
"Oh alright. But eat it after we have had lunch with Mama." Stef said as Rylan thanked Dr Jamie and grabbed the lollipop.
"Alright, off you go. I don't want to see you in here for a long time." Stef grinned and nodded. She liked Dr Jamie but she didn't want to be in the hospital in the near future.
The two of them headed out of Dr Jamies office and down the hallway towards the carpark. Rylan was placed on the floor to walk but she held her Moms hand and skipped beside her, she was no longer sleepy. More excited by the minute.
"We are having lunch with Mama?" Rylan asked with a big smile and her eyes sparkled in excitement.
"Yep, we are going to school to have lunch with Mama in her office and then you get to go meet your teacher and get a tour of the school." Rylan cheered and jumped up and down as they walked. Stef laughed, she was glad her daughter was ok.
"Mama can we have nuggets for lunch?" Rylan asked as they walked towards the car.
"Yes but as long as you eat some green beans and corn with it." Rylan nodded. That was a good compromise.

Principal Adams foster, your wife and daughter are here." Stef said as she knocked on the door and put on a funny accent making Rylan giggle. Lena looked up from her paperwork with a grin as she shook her head in amusement.
"Hi Mama." Rylan said as she headed around her Mamas desk, where Lena pulled her into her lap and gave her a big cuddle.
"Hi my baby. How was your morning?" Lena asked Rylan as Stef closed the door to the office and walked over to Lena, pecked her cheek and sat on one of the chairs in front of the desk while Rylan began to explain her morning.
"Wow, thats exciting. Seems like a great morning." Lena smiled and Rylan grinned.
"Alright whos hungry?" Stef said placing the bag of food on the desk and sorting it out.
"Me..me...me...me." Rylan bounced in her Mamas lap.
"Ok hold your horses sweets." Stef said as she sorted the food out for the three of them.
"I don't have horses mommy. You're silly." Rylan shook her head with a smile on her face as her mom got the food ready.
"Oh my bad, sorry baby girl." Lena and Stef made eye contact and both chuckled in amusement.
"Chicken Caesar salad for my love, nuggets and veggies for my baby and Chicken BLT for myself." Stef said placing the food in front of each of them. Rylan got off of her Mamas lap and took a seat next to her Mom, where her food was.
"Thanks mommy." Rylan said before she dug in, dipping a nugget in some sauce and eating it.
"Water or lemonade my love?" Stef asked as she placed a pop top juice in front of Rylan.
"Water is fine thanks honey." Stef nodded placing water in front of Lena and lemonade in front of herself.
"Alright, eat up then its tour time."

"...and this is your classroom." Lena said as she stopped infront of a door that read 'Mrs Robbins Grade 2' on it. Rylan held tightly too Stefs hand as she looked at the door.
Now that she was here at school, she wasn't feeling so excited. Stef could feel the shift of mood and so she lifted Rylan into her arms.
"Rylan are you ok baby?" Rylan looked at her hands as both of her moms waited for an answer.
"What if they don't like me? What If they are really mean?" Rylan whispered as she continued to look at her hands. Lena and Stef shared a look before Lena put a finger under Rylans chin to get the little blonde to look at her, Rylan slowly lifted her head and looked into her Mamas brown eyes.
"You will make friends sweetie. If they are mean, you tell your teacher ok baby. If you feel like you need to talk, get your teacher to message me and Ill come talk to you baby. There is no need to be afraid." Lena encouraged.
"Mama is right baby, you will be knew and kids like new. It will take time but you will find a friend." Rylan nodded slowly. Her moms were always right, so she couldn't not trust their words.
"Ok, ill try moms."Rylan smiled at her moms, both women placing kisses on Rylans cheeks before Stef placed her on the floor as Lena knocked on the door.
Mrs Amy Robbins the second grade teacher opened the door, smiled and greeted Lena before smiling at Rylan and Stef.
Just one glance had Rylan sort of drawn to her new teacher. Mrs Robbins had light brown hair and green eyes, she also looked very friends and Rylan loved that. She could see herself liking school if this was her teacher, she just wasn't too sure of the other kids.
"You must be Rylan. Im Mrs Robbins, would you like to come in and meet some of the kids?" Mrs Robbins said as she crouched to Rylans level. Rylan liked that, she didn't look intimidating right now so Rylan slowly nodded.
"Well ok." Mrs Robbins stood up and made room for the three of them to enter the room, Rylan clung to her Moms arm tight as she serveyed the room she just entered. The kids all looked at Rylan and Rylan didn't like all the attention but she didn't want to look like a cry baby, so she stood tall next to Stef and held her hand.
"Ok Class can you say Hello to principal Adams foster."
"Hello principal Adams foster." The class said in a sing song voice.
"Hello everyone. Are you enjoying your day?" most of the kids said yes while some just remained quiet like normal.
"Alrght now class we have a new student starting tomorrow. She just came today so she could meet you all. Would you welcome Rylan Foster to our class." Mrs Robbins explained as she placed a hand on Rylans shoulder and smiled to the class.
"Hello Rylan." The kids said in a sing song voice. Rylan smiled a little but didn't let go of her hold on her mom. Lena smiled over at her daughter.
"Hi." Rylan spoke softly but loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Now, she will be starting tomorrow so I would like you all to make her feel welcome, alright now why don't you all go grab the book we are reading and sit at your desks please." Mrs Robbins explained to her class before she turned to Lena, Stef and Rylan. Both moms looked at the teacher while Rylan was looking at the kids.
Rylan couldn't help but frown at a few of the kids. Some were pointing and whispering and seemed rather mean. Rylan made a quick mental note to stay away from them. She however could see a few kids that looked rather nice that she would probably make friends with. All in good time.
"Well, we are looking forward to spending the day with you Rylan. We will see you tomorrow?" Rylan looked up with a small smile and nodded.
"Yes Ma'am." Mrs Robbins smiled, she loved Polite children and Rylan was no exception.
"You can call me Mrs Robbins or Mrs R, whatever you feel like sweetheart." Rylan nodded and smiled before following her moms out of the room.
"So what do you think of your teacher and classmates so far?" Stef asked as the three walked down the hallway to Lenas officer where all their stuff was.
"Im still processing it Mommy. I wont know till tomorrow." Both Lena and Stef chuckled at the sentence, it amazed them most times when Rylan would speak like she was a mature adult instead of the 7 year old she was.
"Ok sweets, tommorow will help you decide." Stef said shaking her head as they entered Lenas office.
"Your kid." Lena whispered and Stef whispered at the same time before bursting out laughing.
