Previously:

"Wheres Callie and Jesus?" Lena finally noticed that it had been quite some time since Rylan and Brandon had come out, her other two kids hadn't come out yet. Stef looked at the house, realising the same. She frowned and looked at her kids to see what was going on.

"They were right behind us, maybe they are still with dad?" Brandon suggested. Callie wasn't hurt seriously and Jesus was fine, so what was taking them so long?

"We need medics in here now." Came the voice over a radio both moms paled along with the kids already out of the house.

Paramedics rushed into the house, there had been three ambulances on standbye. Stef had only hoped the one Liam was in would be it.

A few minuted Later the paramedics were rushing out with Mike and Jesus following. Callie Lay on the stretcher unconcious, oxygen mask on her face, neck brace securing her neck. What shocked the moms was the amount of blood on the sheets covering Callie.

"OH MY GOD CALLIE."

Beeping filled Callies ears as she started to wake. Her eyes remained closed as she struggled to open them. She felt like something was weighing them down, her brain not functioning at the moment to comprehend that she wanted to wake. With a groan she slowly was able to open her eyes, bright light shining in her eyes forced her eyes to immediately shut and then slowly open back up to adjust to the light.

A white room, beeping, the smell of bleach and other chemicals filling her nostrils told her that she was in the hospital, but why?

"Mom." Callie whispered out groggily as she spotted her blonde haired mother asleep in the chair next to the bed, her arms crossed and resting on the bed at Callies side with her head resting on them. Callies eyes were blurry but she could tell it was her mom.

"Mom." Callie spoke louder, well as loud as she could with a dry throat. She moved her hand and slowly nudged her moms arms. Stef sat up and looked around before her blue eyes met the brown ones of her eldest daughter. Stef smiled and stood.

"Hey Cal, hey baby." Stef whispered as she leant down and kissed Callies temple. Her thumb brushing over Callies non bruised cheek.

"What happened? " Callie asked, Stef smiled, kissed Callies non bruised cheek and then sat on the edge of the bed and clasped Callies right hand in both of hers.

"You collapsed due to blood loss, do you remember everything with Liam at home?" Stef asked cautiously. Callie nodded as she brought her own left hand and pushed some hair out of her face and behind her ear before answering her mother.

"Yeah, I remember that then blood, pain and blackness." Stef winced internally but nodded. She hated seeing her kids hurt, she hated it even more knowing that the same person had hurt her kids more then once.

"The adrenaline wore off and you passed out from blood loss. During your struggle with Liam, the knife had stabbed you in the side. You had to go into surgery but it wasn't major. They also took x rays of your cheek while you were out. Just bruising sweets." Stef explained. Callie lifted up the blanket and then her gown to see that she indeed had been stabbed, her left side covered with a bandage. How did she not feel it, maybe Adrenaline was probably the best to have. She would have freaked her siblings out if she screamed in pain. Readjusting the blankets, callie sighed and looked at her mother.

Rylan? Mariana? Jude?" Callie asked. Brandon and Jesus would be fine. The other three were younger and not as strong as everyone else, they needed the most attention. Stef smiled at Callie before chuckling. Always worried about her siblings, even though she had been stabbed. Callie really is a wonderful and caring sister.

"They are fine sweets. The others are with Mama in the waiting room. They don't want to go home till you woke, they want to see for themselves that you are fine." Callie nodded. She wanted to see for herself that her brothers and sisters were fine, she was so lucky that she was there to protect the others and make sure they weren't hurt but maybe next time she wont be around and they wont be so lucky.

liam had almost made Mariana apart of the collection and she was tied up, helpess, useless, weak, she should have tried harder. Thank god Rylan was there and not tied.

"Whats on your mind baby?" Stef knew she needed to get a doctor to check Callie since she was awake but seeing her daughter over thinking and worrying was more important for now.

"I did everything I could to make sure they didn't get hurt." Callie said after a few minutes. She let out a little sob. Stef moved forward and carefully pulled Callie into a hug. The girl burring her face in her moms neck.

"I know you did baby, im proud of you." Stef whispered placing kisses on Callies head and temple as the teen cried.

"When he held the hot knife to to..." Callie couldn't finish her sentence. Stef sighed and her heart broke for the girl. She was so invested in caring for her brothers and sisters and she tore herself apart when she couldn't protect them.

"hey shhhhh, shes fine, your all fine." Stef whispered over and over again, soothing the sobbing teen in her arms.

"You know, I know I have told you a lot, but you are just like me. You need to take time for yourself bug, be a teen, mama and I will be the protectors you know. I would do anything to protect the ones I love, just like you my Callie Q." Stef chuckled at her rhyming and even Callie let out a chuckle.

Stef moved up to sit beside Callie. Callie carefully scooted across the bed to let Stef sit next to her. Immediately stef wrapped her left arm around Callies shoulder

"I know, I like being a lot like you, even though we clash a lot because we are so alike." Callie explained. It was true, like mother like daughter.

"Yeah, you me and Rylan are so alike its weird." Callie laughed. Three people in the same house that are the same is weird but also great.

"Yep, its like we were biologically yours." Callie whispered. Stef sighed.

"You are mine. Biological shmiological. You kids are mine." Stef and Callie chuckled as they hugged each other again.

"Can i see them? I need to see them." Stef knew it would be a good idea to get the doc first and then get the others. Also the police had to come get a statement from Callie, the others had given theirs but with Callie being unconscious she hadn't been able to.

"First I need to get the doctor and then ill go get the others." Callie nodded as her mom slipped off the bed and then planted a kiss on Callies temple.

"Ok, I need food too maybe a yoghurt nd a drink." Callie called with a smile as Stef got to the door.

"Ok, sure bug, Ill talk to your doctor. Anything else her highness wants." Stef teased, earning a chuckle from the teen in the bed.

"Just my family." Callie smiled as she said this, she was adopted and she would never grow tired of saying 'my family'. Stef smiled and nodded before heading off to the nurses station. A smile on the blondes face, her family were all ok right now.

Xxxxxx

"Callie." Callie opened her eyes at the sound of her Mamas voice. The doctor had only left and she had just closed her eyes. She was allowed some food a bit later, Stef was going to go get her something after the thers had been in to visit.

"Mama." Callie whispered out with a smile. Her arms going out and immediately Lena was over to her and giving her a hug, being mindful of the injury on the teens left side and her bruised cheek.

As callie hugged Lena, she could see her brothers and sisters entering the room and then in came Stef in the rear. A quick glance she could see her brothers and sisters were ok. And she sighed in relief at that.

Lena pulled back from the hug, kissed Callies temple and then pushed some of the teens hair from her face and behind her ear.

"I was sooooo worried. Don't scare me like that again." Lena scolded, her tone full of fear and relief. Callie nodded. She knew her mothers and siblings were scared but she was ok, she was fine.

"Ill try not to mama. It will be hard but I will try." Lena nodded and kissed Callied cheek again.

"You scare her like that again and her hair goes grey." Stef piped up, Lena turned and glared playfully at her wife, the kids chuckling. They all loved the playful banter that their parents did.

"Hey who you calling old missy?" Lena said in a mocking hurt and shocked voice. Stef smirked and walked up to Lena and wrapped an arm around her wifes waist. Winking at Callie as she did so.

"Not you my love." Stef responded with a chuckle and planted a kiss on Lenas cheek before winking again at Callie, which wasn't unnoticed by Lena.

"I hope not." everyone laughed and then the banter stopped and the room was awkward. Brandon and Jesus moved forward. They had to talk to Callie, they were helpless and useless during the struggle with Liam, they should have fought harder and they felt guilty.

"We're sorry ca..." Brandon started but Callie knew what they were going to say.

"Not your fault." She said looking at the boys. She knew it wasn't their fault, she didn't hate them at all.

"bu..." Jesus tried but Callie cut him off again.

"Not your fault." Callie repeated. Brandon and Jesus shut up and looked at each other before looking at callie.

"Ok, we love you Cal." Brandon and Jesus said together as they walked over and gave Callie a hug. Both moms sitting on a chair together, Lena on Stefs lap, looking on in happiness that their kids were ok and no one hated each other. Their kids are strong, brave and amazing.

"Love you too" Callie smiled. Callie looked over at her three other siblings. All looking concerned and a bit hesitant. Rylan was holding onto Marianas hand, her left hand clutching the shirt of Stefs she had been given last night and she was still wearing Lenas sweater. While Jude stepped forward, opened his mouth to speak but then shut it again.

"Jude im fine." Callie said. Jude nodded. He knew his sister was ok, she would recover.

"I know." Callie chuckled and then Jude came over to her and hugged her before heading over to stand with the other boys. Callie looked at Rylan and Mariana. She would speak to Mari privately after, right now she needed to talk to her youngest sister.

Hey, Rylan, come here." Callie used her finger in and come hither motion. Rylan hesitantly let go of Marianas hand and walked closer to her sisters hospital bed. She stood close to it but didn't get on or make physical contact with her.

"You were bleeding." Rylan whispered looking Callie over with her eyes. Callies heart broke. The little girl had seen so much in her short life that most people wouldn't see at all.

"Its ok im fine now. See, just a sore stomach." Callie showed Rylan that she was fine. Rylan smiled a little bit, she believed her sister, Callie hadn't lied to her so she didn't have any reason to doubt her.

"I thought he was going to really hurt you Callie. I didn't want my big sister hurt by him again. I love you too much." Rylan whispered as tears started to flow down her cheeks. Everyone in the room felt their heart break at the sight.

Lena had a tear fall down her cheek and Stef wiped it away and then placed a kiss to her wifes cheek.

Brandon wrapped an arm around Jude while Mariana leant against Jesus, all looking at Rylan and Callies sister moment. They shared a special connection and it was strong, a very strong connection at that.

"Im fine, give me a big hug please." Callie held her arms out, Brandon stepped forward and lifted Rylan onto the bed, immediately Rylan was snuggled into Callies chest, her arms around her sisters neck, both had tears falling.

The room was quiet, just the sounds of little sobs and sniffles could be heard as the family watched the two hug and have their moment.

Rylan sat up after a moment or two and looked Callie in the eyes. She sniffled a little and then spoke.

"You're one of the best big sisters in the whole world, im glad that you're mine." Rylan whispered, planting a kiss on Callies Non bruised cheek. Everyone smiling at the words the youngest had spoken, both moms knew that Rylan was an amazing addition to the family. She fit in so well. She had bonds with everyone.

"Aww, im glad you're my little sister." Callie kissed Rylans cheek and pulled her in for another bone crushing hug, being mindful of her injuries.

"Love you callie." Rylan whispered into Callies neck.

"Love you mini." Callie whispered into Rylans ear before kissing the little girls head.

Silence went around the room, all just content on just sitting in the quiet, relishing in the fact that their family was all here and safe. It was almost time to go home so Callie knew she still had to talk to Mariana. She had noticed the younger girl looking at her every now and then, she didn't want Mariana to think she is too blame for her getting hurt and she needed to talk to her. She almost became a part of the collection, she needed to speak to her about it.

"Can I talk to Mari alone." Callie spoke up breaking the silence. Everyone standing and nodded. All giving her hugs and kisses, Stef scooped Rylan up and then they all headed out.

"Yeah sure. We will wait out the door. Mom is staying with you tonight." Lena spoke, being the last one in the room, apart from Mariana and Callie, telling Callie what was going on.

"ok." Callie smiled. When everyone was gone and the door was closed, Callie looked to her sister, Mariana was looking to the floor, avoiding eye contact. Calli sighed.

"Mari, come here." Callie Called. Mariana looked up to see her sisters face. Callie sighed seeing the tears on her sisters cheek and the ones that were still flowing.

Mariana walked over the bed and sat on it right next to Callie, where Stef had sat a while ago. Callie wrapped an arm around her sister.

"Are you ok Mariana? The truth, please." She sounded like her mom but she needed to hear it for herself, she needed to get inside her sisters head to know what she is feeling.

"Just horrified at the fact that I can now understand how you and Rylan felt in that moment." Mariana spoke quietly. Callie knew that Mariana was horrified and still processing what happened, she squeezed Mariana tighter.

"I hate that you felt like that but Im also glad we don't match. Id hate to know that you were a part of 'the collection.'" Callie explained. Mariana turned her head to look at her sister. She nodded.

"…...yeah...me too...thank you Callie." Callie didn't even have to ask what Mariana was thanking her for. She knew already.

"No need to thank me Mari, you are my little sister and its my job to protect you. Its in the big sister hand book." Callie joked trying to lighten the mood.

"Handbook? Really, how come I don't have one?" Mariana chuckled, joining in on the joke.

"Only the biggest sister gets one." Mariana rolls her eyes and nudges Callie. Callie chuckles and squeezes Mariana again.

"If you need to talk, remember I always here. I know moms are probably going to get us to see a therapist or something but I am here to talk always." Callie explained, her sister needed to know that she was always there for her.

"I know. Im glad your my sister too. Rylan was right." Callie smiled and wiped away a tear from Marianas cheek before kissing it.

"Im glad to be your sister aswell."

"Are you alright though? Mama said you were stabbed." Mariana looked at Callie, Callie sighed and nodded.

"I am fine seriously, honestly fine. Just a stab wound, shouldn't take long to heal up." Mariana nodded.

"I love you Cal." Mariana whispered as she lay her head on Callies shoulder.

"Love you too mari...alright, go home, go to bed." Mariana scooted off the bed, placed a kiss on Callies cheek and then headed out of the room. She felt better talking to Callie, she was glad she wasn't alone with these feelings.
