"I know, I love you mom." Callie sighed out in content as she snuggled in and closed her eyes. Her body feeling really relaxed.
"I love you too my sweet Callie Q" Stef smiled at her own rhyme again. Callie chuckled wth her eyes closed.
"You are so cheesy." Callie whispered as a nurse brought in a portable bed for Stef to sleep on for the night.
"You love me all the same." Stef whispered into the teens ear and pressing a kiss to the girls temple.
"I wouldn't have you any other way mom." Callie whispered out, her voice filled with sleep as she slowly drifted off.
"Good to know, now go to sleep." Stef chuckled as she felt Callies body relax and the signs of her breathing indicating that she has finally gone to sleep.

A nurse entered Callie Adams - Foster's hospital room Monday morning. The teen blinking awake as the nurse gently floated around the room checking on the monitors Callie was hooked up too.
The nurse smiled kindly at Callie and then left the room after doing what she needed to do. Callie watched her leave before turning her head to her left to see her mom still fast asleep on the portable bed. Callie smiled at seeing her mom looking so peaceful and relaxed, and not the usual worried, concerned look she usually gives off.
She always thought that she was dreaming. She was scared to open her eyes on some days because her life was so dreamlike. She was scared that the two moms that she currently had would vanish once her eyes were opened, or her siblings will not be her siblings or that Jude and her would still be in an abusive home.
Each and every day she prayed to god and thanked him for the life he had given her after the horrible past she had been through.
Now that her eyes are opened Callie sighed out in relief. The woman on the portable bed was still her amazing mother and her life was still amazing.
Some people take things for granted, the simple things like the word mom or home. Things that Callie wanted for most of her life were the things people took for granted without even realising it.
Stef stirring on the bed causes Callie to snap out of her thoughts. Blue eyes met Brown and a smile formed on both faces. Stef yawned, stretched and sat up, wiping away the sleep from her eyes.
"Morning Bug, been up long?" Stef asked standing up, running a hand through her hair and taking a seat next to Callies bed. Callie smiled and grabbed her moms hand and held it in her lap. The contact with her mom made her feel safe, Stef made her feel safe where as Lena made her feel warm and cuddled.
"Morning mom, no just woke after the nurse checked the monitors." Callie answered, Stef nodded and reached over and pushed loose hair behind her teens ear.
"Ok, any pain?" Stef said as she looked into the teens eyes, she had gotten really good at reading her kids by just looking into their eyes. Their eyes showed a lot, showed the things that they didn't physically show or want to show. She loved being a cop.
No, im fine mom. Honestly." Callie rolled her eyes with a smile. Stef smirked and let out an exaggerated sigh.
"I know, I just worry. You have a good pain threshold so I worry." Callie nodded, her mom knew her so well, but honestly she wasn't in any pain.
"Ill let you know if I hurt." Callie gave her mom the answer she was waiting for. Stef smiled and nodded.

Monday morning came to soon for Lena. The kids had been tired and had been asleep all night, well Mariana and Rylan were a different story. She was glad that the kids got time off of school to relax and rest after their ordeal and Lena was glad that her Vice Principal was nice enough to handle being in charge for the next few days while her family recovered.
Mariana woke up once from a nightmare but after being soothed and reassured she went to sleep straight away and didn't wake up again.
Rylan, well Rylan was up most of the night. Nightmares plagued the little blonde all night, causing Lena and the little blonde to get no sleep. It got to the point where Lena had to carry the little blonde up to the master bedroom to sleep so she didn't wake her siblings.
5:09 am shone bright on the microwave as Lena stood in the kitchen sipping away at her coffee. Coffee she so desperately needed after a sleepless night. The little blonde situated on her hip with her head on her shoulder, told her that the little girl was extremely tired.
"Mommy." Rylan sniffled. Lena sighed and headed over to the little nook in the kitchen, she couldn't go to the living room because the other kids were still sleeping.
Lena placed her coffee cup on the coffee table and sat on the sofa. Rylan straddling her Mamas lap with her head on her Mamas shoulder.
"I know you want Mommy. Ill give her a chance to wake up before we call her ok baby girl." Rylan nodded but mumbled Mommy again. Lenas heart breaking at hearing her over tired daughter whimper for her Mommy.
Stef was Rylans safety net. It wasn't that Rylan loved Stef more, it was the vibe that Stef gave off that Rylan wanted. The two of them had a bond like no other, a very strong bond.
Lena knew that she needed help. She decided that she was going to call Sharon soon. After all, her mother in law had left a message to call her if they needed anything and right now she needed sleep if she was going to make it through the rest of the day.
Lena rubbed up and down the little blonde back, soft sniffles filled her ears as the little blonde continued to whimper.
"I know baby, I know you are tired and you want Mommy. We will see Mommy soon ok." Rylan nodded and buried her face deeper into her mamas neck. Lena continued to sip her coffee and rub Rylans back as the house remained quiet. Soft snores from the living room could be heard and Rylans soft sniffles also filled the house.
"Are you hungry?" Lena whispered as Rylas sniffles slowed down to an almost complete stop. Rylan shook her head, Lena felt the little girls hands playing with her loose curls at the back of her neck. Something she loved to do when she was held.
"You need to eat sweetie." Lena reasoned, the little girl may be tired but she also needed food. She hadn't eaten much at dinner last night and that was worrying Lena a bit.
"Mommy." Rylan whispered, not even trying to make full sentences.
"Just a little bit of food please?" Lena begged, her voice soft, her hand never stopping its movement onto the little girls back.
"Noooo." Rylan grumbled and turned her head the opposite way, facing away from Lenas neck.
Lena sighed, she would try later on. The little girl really was attached to her mommy, she wouldn't do anything till she had seen her mommy. Standing up with Rylan attached to her, Lena grabbed her coffee cup, drank the last of it and headed over to the other side of the kitchen to call her mother in law and then Stef. Not even caring that it was really early, she dialled Sharons number. Sharon said she would help and Lena really needed help.

"Mamas calling." Stef stepped out of the room to talk to her wife as Callies doctor came into check on her wound.
"Hey love, how are you and the kids this morning?" Stef answered as she stoot outside of Callie room, leaning against the wall right next to the door just so she could go in if Callie called her.
"Hey honey. Honestly not too good. Mariana had one nightmare but was fine after that and Rylan didn't sleep at all and when she did it was nightmares constantly. Shes been clingng to me all night and morning and refuses to eat. She really wants you babe." Lena explained. Stefs heart broke at the sound of her wife. She could hear the worry and exhaustion in her voice as she spoke.
"My poor babies. Ill see them soon enough. How are you feeling my love?" Stef asked, Lena hadn't answered the question before so she tried again, she needed to hear how her wife was herself instead of guessing.
"Honestly, Im exhausted honey. I know you needed to stay with Callie but I called your mom because I really need help... Hows Callie?" Lena told her wife. Stef sighed, she knew how her wife felt by listening to her voice over the phone. She wanted to snap her fingers and make everything disappear and be ok but she couldn't and that hurt a lot.
"Im sorry my love. Calling my mom was a good idea love. We can switch tonight if you want? Callie is fine. Shes itching to get out of here though." Stef explained as she peaked her head into Callies hospital room to see how her daughter was. As soon as Stef poked her head in Callie looked up and smiled, even though Stef could see that the teen was hating the doctor touching her, just the contact annoyed the teen. Stef smiled leant back around onto her wall.
"We will work it out when we get their. Rylan said last night that she wants to bring you guys breakfast. Pancakes and french toast work for you two?" Stef smiled at that. She was hungry and knowing from experience, hospital food was gross. She doubted Callie would eat it.
"Sounds good my love. Love you, see you when you get here." Stef replied as she headed back into the room as the doctor was fixing Callies gown back into place. The teen finally relaxing when the doctors hands were off of her.
"Ok, love you Stef."
"Love you too, my love." Stef hung up and slid her phone into her pocket as she walked over to the bed.
"So do how is everything witn my girl?" Callie rolled her eyes but a smile was on her face. The doctor smiled at Stef. He knew her well because of her job.
"Well her incision is fine, no infection. Looking really good. She can go home on wednesday, the earliest." Stef nodded and thanked the doctor as he headed out the room. Stef took her seat on the chair next to Callies bed.
"How is everyone? The truth this time mom." Callie got straight to the point as soon as Stef sat down. Of course Callie saw straight through the lie her mom told her before when she asked about the kid, Callie was one smart girl and Stef knew she couldn't hide it from her.
"Well, Rylan didn't sleep at all last night because she was plagued with nightmares, shes clingy, she hasn't eaten and she just wants me. Mariana had one nightmare but was fine after that and Mama is exhausted so she called in Grandma to come help out." Stef explained. Callie nodded, she knew her sisters and Mama weren't fine after everything that happened. She knew Rylan would get nightmares.
"Ok, I knew they weren't fine." Callie said as she laid back in the bed and sighed. Stef leant stood up and sat on the bed, wrapping an arm around Callie shoulder and placing a kiss on the teens temple.
"You are just too clever my girl...So mama will be here a bit later, she and the kids are going to bring us breakfast, pancakes and french toast." Stef explained, Callie nodded and smiled. She was hungry and hospital food didn't sound so appealing.
"Ooooo yummy. What should we do while we wait?" Callie asked turning her head so she could eye her mother.
"Well I want to know why Rylan was wearing Mamas sweater and Carrying one of my shirts yesterday?" Callie chuckled, the little blonde did look strange but cute in the too big sweater and carrying around a shirt.
"Well Rylan was upset and I couldn't calm her down so Mariana...

"Mom stop cheating." Callie chuckled out as She saw what was under her moms leg. The two of them were passing the time playing card games with two packs of cards Stef had gotten at the gift shop when she was getting dinner last were currently playing rummy. Callie sitting under the covers on the bed and Stef sitting cross legged at the end of the bed.
"Im not cheating." Stef said giving Callie a playful glare.
"Yes you are, you have cards under your leg, I can see them." Callie chuckled reaching over carefully and pulling the cards from underneath her moms crossed Legs.
"Guilty. Can't blame me though, I like to win and I will do so at any cost." Stef smirked.
"So immature mom." Callie chuckled rolling her eyes. Her mom had to cheat like a kid to win. Callie held up the cards and looked at them Shaking her head and sticking her tongue out as she put two of her cards away so they were even.
"Oh, im immature?" Stef asked raising an eyebrow and putting her hands on her hips. Callie laughed and through down her cards. She had enough of the game.
"Did I ever tell you the story of how I snuck a dog into my room when I was younger?" Stef asked as she packed up the cards. Callie raised her eyebrow up as Stef looked at her.
"No but do tell me." Callie asked leaning back and crossing her arms. She loved hearing about her moms rebellious days.
"Well I was walking home from school one day and passed an abandoned building like I always did. I walked passed it and heard panting behind me, I turned and there was this beautiful dog behind me. He was a Jack Russell Terrier with a rough coat. I remember him having golden brown fur all over apart from a strip around his neck and on his nose and mouth. He was a very good dog, tame and obedient for a homeless dog.(AN: Pic on my facebook page)
"Did he have a name?" Callie asked, she wondered what Name her moms younger self had picked to give a dog. The dog did sound cute if she did say so herself.
"Well of course he had a name...I named him Flearoy." Stef chuckled out, just thinking of the name now was hilarious.
"Really mom? Flearoy?" Callie raised an eyebrow and giggled. It was a rediculous name, that poor dog had Flearoy as its name.
"What! its a good name." Stef defended shooting Callie a playful glare even though she had a smile on her face.
"Whatever you say, continue on please." Callie rolled her eyes, a smile still on her face. She shook her head and adjusted the covers.
"Yes ma'am. Stef mock saluted. Callie picked up her pillow and whacked her mother with it, Stef just glaring at her playfully. Callie laughing as she set her pillow back behind her. She knew her mom wouldn't retaliate because of her injury and she was happy about that, a win for her.
"Ok, well Flearoy literally followed me home. I really wanted a dog and mom had said no a million times. I snuck Flearoy through my window and he stayed in my room at night and when I went to school I left him in the abandoned building till I finished school and we would do it all over again. I would feed him food from my lunch, my friends started giving me some of their lunch to feed Flearoy aswell. I managed to hide him for a week till mom came into my room one night to put washing away while I was asleep." Callie raised her eyebrow, waiting for her mom to continue her story.
Stef smiling as she remembered her moms face that night. The face of shock, horror, annoyed and angry all at the same time was what always flashback through her mind as she remembered Flearoy.
"What happened to Flearoy?" Callie asked, hoping that he didn't get put down.
"Mom wasn't happy but she could see how much I loved him and so flearoy was given to a family friend, which meant that I could see him when I wanted." Callie was glad Flearoy wasn't put down and that her mom got to see Flearoy.
"Where is he know?" Callie asked. This was the first time she had heard of Flearoy so she wondered where he was now.
"He died a couple of years later, he was older then I thought. He lived a happy life and thats all I could have asked for though." Callie nodded.
"A whole week though of hiding him, that must have been hard." Callie chuckled, thinking about all the things that her mom had to do to hide a dog from Sharon.
"It was but I loved the thrill of not getting caught." Callie rolld her eyes as Stef smirked.
"You would, that is soo you mom." Stef smiled and nodded. It was, she loved the thrills.
"Just dont try it at ours, it will never work for you." Stef pointed her finger at Callie and gave her a warning playful glare. Callie again rolled her eyes and held her hands in a surrender gesture.
"Wasn't planning too." Callie said.
"Good girl." Stef said sliding off the end of the bed and then sliding into the right side of the bed so she didn't harm the girls left side where her wound is. Stef placed a kiss on Callies temple and the two just lay in each others arms, enjoying the peace and quiet till their family came.
"Do you want to know what I planned to do if jude and I never got adopted?" Callie broke the silence as she turned her head and looked at her mom. Stef looked down at her daughter that was resting against her shoulder.
"What was your plan?"
"I was going to quit school, find a job, save a lot of money and then when I reached 18, I was going to adopt Jude, by then I would have had a steady income and could have afforded to give him what he needed." Callie shortened it into easier sentences. It was longer in her mind but the main points were there. Stef raised an eyebrow at what her daughter had just said. I really is a good plan apart from the school thing.
"That was a good plan Cal, well everything but quitting school, but im glad it never happened." Callie nodded and snuggling into her mom. Stef pressing a soft kiss to the teens temple.
"Me too, my dream came true at least, it was a dream I gave up on a long time ago though." Stef blinked in confusion, why give up a dream?
"What dream would that be my sweet girl?" Stef was intrigued, she loved hearing what her kids dreams were, the thought of them giving up on a dream wasn't something she wanted to hear.
"When my biological mom died, I dreamed that Jude and I would be put in a nice foster home where the parents loved us and spoilt us with love and happiness. We would have gone to an amazing school, learnt a lot, had brothers and sisters to play with and love. Most importantly, parents that we could call our own again." That sounded like a wonderful dream, it was also their house, the Adams-foster house that Callie described. Stef was glad that Callie dream came true eventually, she hated the thought that her daughter gave that dream up because she thought she would never get it.
"Thats a good dream, why did you give up on it all those years ago?"
"After the first two foster homes, I thought they were all the same. My dream would have just been a dream and would never be reality. Those foster homes made Jude and I long for a family to love us as if we were biologically theirs, it was just a dream in our minds back then. Jude and I use to stand at the window in the room that was temporarily ours at the foster home and we use to wish on stars all the time but none of our wishes ever came true, not until Mama picked me up at Juvie." Callie chuckled along with Stef at the thought of Juvie.
"Juvie might have been the best thing come to think of it, even though I hated that you were sent there. Im just glad we made that dream come true. The Adams - Foster family wouldn't be the same without Jude and Callie." Stef left a lingering kiss on Callies temple as they both smiled.
"Amen to that Mom."
DID YOU LOVE THE NAME FLEAROY? I DID. IT WAS HILARIOUS AND I REALLY WANTED TO USE IT.
