Previously:

"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.

xxxxxxx

"Morning sweetie." Lena greeted as Rylan came down the stairs and sat at the table while Lena and Stef got breakfast ready.

"Whats the matter baby girl?" Stef could see that there was something bothering her little girl. Rylan didn't seem at all excited like the moms thought she would be.

"Nothing." Rylan whispered as she looked at the table top, keeping her eyes away from her moms. She knew as soon as she looked into one of her moms faces she would be done for, she found it really really hard to not talk to her moms about problems.

"Baby girl, you know you can talk to me about anything. I know its school today but I thought you were excited to go?" Stef says as she takes a seat next to Rylan and pulls the little girl onto her lap, so she is seated sideways on Stefs lap. Rylan sighed and finally looked into her moms eyes.

"I am excited...I ….Just...What if I don't make a friend today mom?" Rylan finally got out. Lena sighed from the stove and Stef placed a kiss on Rylans temple.

"You will be fine sweetheart. They have to get to know you first. I am pretty sure you will make a friend. How can anyone not want to be friends with you?" Rylan shrugged at her moms question.

"Everyone that meets you, they love you. I mean, I loved you from the moment I set my eyes on you." Rylan looked up sharply to her moms face.

"You did?" Rylan said looking very surprised. Stef nodded.

"I did. I took one look at your amazing blue eyes and I was hooked. I fell madly in love with you from that first moment under the table.

"I remember that...thanks for saving me that day mommy."

"It was my pleasure, and thank you for coming into my life and for trusting me at that moment." Stef could remember that moment forever. She could remember each day her kids came into her life. Brandons birth, Mariana and Jesus in the police station, Callie at the dinner table, Jude in the other foster home covering his ears and Miss Rylan shaking in a corner. Each moment is significant because that was the moment the kids stole her heart.

"Im thankful that I have all my kids and my wife safe." Lena piped in as she placed a plate of pancakes on the table and kissed each of the blondes heads as she went to grab the bowl of fruit.

" I swear, put food on the table and all the troops show up." Lena says as Mariana, Callie, Jude, Brandon and Jesus all came into the kitchen taking a seat as Lena placed the milk on the table.

"I was here before you put food on the table Mama." Rylan smiles and Lena rolls her eyes before taking a seat next to Stef who still has Rylan on her lap.

"Ok your my exception then Baby." Lena kisses Rylans temple before helping herself up some fruit and then dishing Stef up some food.

"Nah, I like food." Rylan grinned as she grabbed a pancake from the plate and shoved it in her mouth.

"We live with animals." Lena groaned as Jesus did the same to a pancake.

"Bu yof luf uf a away." Rylan spoke with a mouth full of food making Lena screw her face. Stef had to hide her chuckle but was failing miserably, which earned her a glare from her wife.

"Dont talk with your mouth full...and yes I do." lena chuckled as she put some yoghurt on her fruit. Life with her family was never boring.

Xxxxxxx

Rylan watched her sisters and brothers exit the Cars. Her mom and Mama were dropping her off to her class because she wanted them both there with her. Lena got out of the car and then let the little blonde out of her seat just as Stef, in her cop uniform, walked over to them.

Rylan stood next to her Mama and Mom with her backpack on. Rylan was in awe at all the children walking into school. There were a lot of them. She suddenly wasn't liking it and so she turned around and raised her arms towards her Mom, hoping she would pick her up. Stef sighed and gave a look to Lena before scooping the little blonde up.

Once the three of them got to the classroom Stef set Rylan down on the floor and crouched down to her level.

"I know its scary with all these new people and kids but you will be ok. Mama will be here so if you need her at all, then you have your teacher get her ok. Every kid once was like you, they were afraid. It just takes time ok?" Stef explained.

"Promise?" Rylan whispered, looking into her Moms eyes.

"I promise baby girl. Now give me a big hug and kiss." Stef said with a smile. Immediately Rylan launched into her moms arms and landed a big kiss on her moms lips. Stef smiled and held on tight to her daughter. Time had flown so fast, she loved the one on one time she had and now that was finished and her baby was going to school, she felt a bit sad.

"Ok be good, have fun." Lena said once Rylan released from Stefs embrace. Lena pulled her little girl into her arms and then kissed Rylans cheek, both moms looked on as Rylan took off to her classroom.

Lena and Stef watched as their youngest went off to her classroom. Both moms couldn't help let a tear fall from their eyes. Their baby was growing up.

"Mrs Adams – foster?" Lena and Stef turned from their position to see two middle aged women with their young daughter. One red headed women and a dark brunette women with a dark brunette daughter. Lena knew who these people were, the Warrens were here to sign paperwork because there daughter was starting her first day here today.

"Yes." Both Stef and Lena said making the two women look at them confused.

"Oh um Principal Adams – foster." The brunette woman asked looking at Lena. It was obvious that the caramel skinned woman was the principal since the blonde was in a cop uniform.

The school was very popular and there was many children coming and going but mainly coming as it was a well organised and friendly school. Lena was proud to run it the way she did and so was the school board.

"Ill see you at home." Stef said as she placed a kiss on Lenas cheek and headed off towards her car while Lena smiled and waved at her before turning to the Parents of her new student.

"Yes thats me. You must be the Warrens, right this way." And it was back to business for the mommy- wife-work-business woman. With one more look towards Rylans classroom, Lena led the Warrens towards her office.

"You can call me Camilla and this is my wife Mary-anne. Was that your daughter and wife? They look so much alike." The red headed women asked as the four of them walked.

"Ah, yes. My youngest and My wife. Matilda your only child?" Lena beamed. She really loved her kids.

"Yes, shes our pride and Joy." Lena smiled at Matilda who was more interested in looking around rather then talking to the adults.

"How many children do you and your wife have? If you don't mind me asking." Lena wasn't ashamed of her life and so she always gave the answers if appropriate. They would come out eventually.

"We have 6, they are also my pride and joy." The two women looked at Lena with surprise.

"Sorry if this is over stepping it, but you and your wife look amazing for having 6 children." Mary-anne Warren asked giving Lena a glance over as they entered Lenas office and sat down in the chairs.

"Honey, that was over stepping. You and your wife must be very happy with a large family. Your daughter is beautiful, her looks are obviously from your wife." Lena smiled.

"Actually no .Our eldest son is from my partners previous marriage. We adopted four and our youngest who you saw today is in the process of being adopted."

"Thats really amazing. They look so much alike. I don't know how you and your wife do it. We can barely manage with Matilda and our work life let alone have five others."

"We manage, its tough at times but I wouldn't change anything for the world...Well Matilda, with your age you will be in the 10th grade (Sophomore). Our teachers are here to help and they are more then willing to help you catch up so you're not left behind. " Lena explained just before a knock on the door interrupted.

"Come in." Lena called out, all three Warrens looked to the door.

"Mama." Mariana peeked her head in. She hadn't realised her Mama was in a meeting and she felt a little embarrassed for interrupting but her Mama had said come in.

"Am I interrupting?" Mariana entered and stood next to the desk awkwardly.

"Actually no its perfect sweetie. You are probably just the person I need." Mariana smiled. She only came to get her headache medication from her Mama but if her mama needed help then she would wait.

"Ok hi Im Mariana." Mariana greeted giving the Warrens a wave.

"So Mariana, these are the Warrens. Matilda is starting here today and since you are the same grade and you both have a few classes together I thought you would help her. Show her around, meet new people, that sort of thing." Lena explained to her daughter. Mariana nodding to show her understanding.

"Hello nice to meet you and it won't be a problem. Happy to help." Mariana smiled at the Warrens. Matilda smiled back. She seemed like a shy kid, Mariana was a good pick.

"So your Lenas daughter?" Camilla asked. Mariana nodded Carefully, not knowing if it was alright to give that information to parents, but seeing her Mama smile made her feel relieved.

"Yeah, im the fourth child. My twin Jesus is a minute older other wise I would be the third child." Lena chuckled along with the Warrens and Mariana smiled.

"Alright sweetie you better get going." Lena said.

"Nice to meet you too Mariana." Matilda smiled at Mariana before standing up.

"Well we better get going if we want to get to the next class after I show you around a bit." Mariana suggested. Matilda nodded and said goodbye to her moms.

"Can I get my medication before I go?" Mariana asked. Lena nodded and got her purse from inside the desk and pulled out Marianas medication and gave her one tablet. She said goodbye an then she let Matilda out of the office. All three adults saying goodbye to the girls as they left.

"She sick?" Mary-ann Warren asked.

"No severe migraines. She will feel one coming and so takes a tablet to stop its severity before it actually hits.

"Oh, poor thing." Lena nodded. She feels like shes telling these women all about her life, it felt really weird for her.

"Now lets sign this paperwork. Its just the standard rules and fees, the simple stuff really." All three women laughed.

"Hello Rylan. Pleased to see you again. Are you excited for the first day with us?" Mrs Robbins noticed Rylan walk in the door to her classroom. Most of the kids were still coming and so she had approached Rylan to make sure she was going alright and to point out her coat and bag hook.

"A little." Rylan whispered as Mrs Robbins took Rylan over to her hook. It had her name on it so it would be easy to find but also it had a picture of a tiger. It looked like everyone's hook had their name on it and a different animial. 'Maybe some kids couldn't read?' Rylan thought.

"Ok, now here is your desk. You will be next to Hannah. Shes not here yet." Rylan nodded and took a seat at her desk, it too had her name on it. Mrs Robbins knew all about Rylan, she was a very smart but shy kid. She could see great potential in Rylan.

Slowly the kids filed in, not really surprised to see Rylan their but she still was new so a couple of the kids stared as they took their seats. The bell rang and now Rylan knew her first day of school had officially began. Rylan could tell she was the smallest child in her class. She had always been the smallest and now it made it real.

Rylan hoped she would like school like her brothers and sisters did, also she hoped her mom was right about making friends. As her mom said, only time would tell.

"Alright children. As you can see Rylan is back for her first day so don't forget to make her welcome...Rylan would you like to stand up and say something about yourself to the class?" Rylan looked to the teacher and then around at the students before slowly standing.

"Hi...im Rylan. I like colouring, reading and sports." Rylan really didn't know what to say so she just said that. Mrs Robbins smiled as Rylan sat down.

"Ok now lets start the day off with some craft. How does that sound?" Mrs Robbins spoke and the kids cheered. Rylan had a small smile on her face at the mention of craft. Maybe school wouldn't be that bad.

"Hi Im hannah." The girl next to Rylan spoke and Rylan turned her head to look at the girl. She was a brunette like Callie and her eyes were the same as her own. Hannah was taller then Rylan and she didn't seem like a girly girl and Rylan liked that. She remembered this girl from yesterday. She looked nice yesterday and she looked nice today, maybe she could be friends with Hannah.

"Hello." Rylan smiled getting a smile in return from Hannah.

"Want to be my partner in craft?" Rylan nodded and the two of them got up from their seats and went to get some craft things together. Mrs Robbins watched the two and she couldn't help but smile. She knew sticking Hannah and Rylan together would be a good match and she was proven right.

Rylan and Hannah got some of their craft things and took it back to their desk. A smile on Rylans face was priceless. Her mom was right, she would make friends. Hopefully Hannah would be her friend.

"Do you want to sit with me at break time?" Rylan looked up from colouring and nodded with a smile. There craft project was to create a family portrait using any craft materials they wanted. That was easy enough.

"Yes please." Rylan replied, a smile still on her face and now Hannah had a smile on her face.

"Ok does this mean you will be my friend now?" Rylan nodded. She was excited, someone wanted to be her friend.

"Yeah, I would like to be your friend." Hannah smiled and went back to glueing feathers on her paper before she looked over to Christopher.

"Good, you can sit with Christopher and Me at break time." Hannah added as an after thought. She couldn't forget Christopher.

"Who's Christopher?" Rylan asked with a frown. Hannah looked over and pointed at Christopher.

"Him." Rylan looked over to see a boy with blonde hair and green eyes. He looked fun and nice. Maybe he could be her friend to, then she would have two friends.

"Is he nice? Rylan asked still looking at Christopher. Christopher spotted Hannah and Rylan looking at him so he waved and they waved back.

"Yeah, he is really nice. He isn't mean like most kids." Rylan nodded and smiled as she went back to their craft.

"Ok." Rylan nodded as she went back to colouring.

"Ok kids lets pack our craft up." Mrs Robbins called after a few minutes more. She knew that most of the kids had finished and now they needed to move on to maths.

Rylan got up to put her craft stuff away with Hannah and on her way back to her chair she tripped.

Rylan wasn't sure but she swears she saw a girl stick her foot out to trip her. She couldn't really tell right now because her knee was hurting and when Mrs Robbins came over to see if she was ok, Rylan kept her from seeing her leg.

"I want my mom to do it." Rylan said. She whispered it, she didn't want to sound like a baby but her leg really hurt. She wouldn't cry in front of her classmates.

"Your mom is busy, can I have a look at it?" Rylan shook her head and moved away more. She didn't trust Mrs Robbins yet, she didn't know if she would hurt her more and so she only wanted her mama to do it. She was aware of the other kids trying to look at her but she was ignoring them. She wanted her Mama. She missed her Moms, she missed spending the days with Stef.

"Ok, lets go." Mrs Robbins said as she helped Rylan up and then got the teachers aid to watch the other kids while she took Rylan to the principals office.

"….also no revealing clothes. Lately it seems that no matter how many times I send students home for dressing inappropriately, they still come back to school in something more inappropriate." Lena explained as they went through the rules. The entry package had contained the rules but Lena always went through them with the parents at the greeting because no many parents actually read them.

"That wont be a problem. Matilda is really shy and reserved. She doesn't like she show a lot of skin as you could see from before. We will follow the rules and so will Matilda." Camilla Warren explained and Lena felt relieved. That was one thing she loved to hear from parents.

"Thankyou, that is all I ask for...Ok now thats sorted we can star..." Lena sighed as another knock on the door sounded.

"You're very busy today." Mary-ann Warren smiled as she said this. Lena nodded.

"I seem to be. Every time I have a meeting, everyone wants me." All three women laughed as Lena called out to the door for whoever to come in.

"Sorry to bother you, Rylan scraped her knee on the carpet and won't let anyone console her apart from you." Lena sighed as she listened to Mrs Robbins explain. Lena nodded.

"Ok send her in." Lena said before looking at the Warrens.

"Im sorry about this." Lena apologised.

"Its fine, you're a busy lady. We aren't in a hurry." Lena smiled. That was nice, she really liked this couple. They seemed so down to earth and very easy to get along with.

Lena heard a sniffle and she looked to the door to see Rylan walk in and head straight over to her. Lena lifted the little blonde onto her lap.

"Hey baby, I hear you hurt yourself?" Rylan nodded, she was aware of the other women in the room.

"I fell over and hurt my knee, I didn't cry. Im big and brave like mommy says I am." Rylan spoke softly. Lena could tell Rylan wanted to cry but she didn't. Her little girl wanted to feel brave in front of her new peers and Lena could understand that.

"Why didn't you let Mrs Robbins take care of your knee?" Rylan shrugged before speaking.

"i don't know her long enough. I missed you and you make it all better with your magic kisses." Lena chuckled and so did the Warren women. Lena could understand why Rylan hadn't let Mrs Robbins check her leg out, most Foster kids were the same, they needed to have trust gained before anything like that could happen.

"I missed you too. How about I check your leg, kiss it better and then you go back to class?" Rylan nodded.

"Alright lets take a look." Lena looked down at Rylans knee. She had a nasty carpet burn but it wasn't that bad. Lena grabbed her first aid kit from her draw and got some soothing cream and rubbed it into Rylans knee before kissing it.

"Better?" Lena asked. Rylan nodded with a smile.

"Thanks Mama." Lena smiled and stood up, she held Rylans hand and opened the door to her office and headed over to the receptionist.

"Can you please take Rylan back to Mrs Robbins Second grade class please?" Lena asked her receptionist.

"No problems Principal Adams-Foster." The receptionist stood up from her desk and came around to the front. Lena placed a kiss on Rylans cheek and watched as her youngest disappeared off to her classroom for the second time that morning.

Lena headed back into her office. Hopefully she could have this meeting finished in no time and no more interruptions. She really needed a coffee now but that would have to wait till after the meeting.

"Alright, Im sorry. Hopefully there will be no more interruptions and we can complete this meeting soon." Lena apologised taking a seat at her desk and picking up the papers she had in her hand previously.

"Its alright...I miss those innocent times. Makes me think of having another but were just not ready." Both Warrens nodded after Camilla Warren spoke.

"Alright now where were we...ah yes...we can now look at fees and the best way to pay them over the year."
