AS FOR THAT STORY ABOUT CALLIE GETTING SICK AND RUINING CHRISTMAS, IT IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS BUT IT IS BEING WRITTEN.

Previously:

"MOMS!" Brandon had yelled.

Stef had bolted to the kids at the door, she didn't like the sound of Brandons yell and that scared her.

"What is it?" Stef got to the kids and saw nothing out of the ordinary but she could see that they were shaking in fear. Stef waited for an answer.

Brandon pointed at the door. Not a word coming from his mouth.

Stef turned to look at the door and the blood drained from her face.

A note was attached to the door, a knife covered in a red substance, most possibly blood, held the note to the door. Stef didn't touch it, it would be needed for evidence. She read it out loud as Lena came to stand with them. Her eyes too were wide at the sight of the blood covered knife.

You know who I am

you've seen me before

ill be coming for her

so make sure you lock your door.

Ill be seeing you

You know who xoxox

Stef was still shaking in rage and a little bit of fear as she entered the hospital to visit her eldest daughter. The note stuck to the door had been collected by the crime scene guys.

Lena and Stef had comforted and reassured the kids that had seen the note. They were shaken and scared but knew that their moms had it under control.

Stef was still trying to look normal as to not frighten Callie or to let her know that something was up. The teen didn't need to worry about anything but getting well. They didn't know who sent it to them or who they were coming for, no need to frighten or worry her just yet till there was something to actually worry about.

Stef headed to the nearest bathroom close to Callies room before actually going to the room. She wanted to make sure she actually looked a little bit normal, Callie was good at reading body language. Hopefully she wouldn't read her right now.

Taking a deep breath, Stef splashed some water on her face and collected herself before exiting the bathroom and heading to her daughters hospital room.

As Stef got closer to the room Callie was in, she could hear laughing and talking, that was a good sign. Taking another deep breath Stef stepped around from the wall and into the doorway. Both occupants in the room looked up and smiled at Stef.

"Hey mom. Callie girl how are you going?" Stef greeted as she walked into the room fully. Sharon gave Stef a big smile from her seat in the chair.

Hey mom, where is everyone?" Callie beamed as she looked around Stef for the others. Stef gave a fake happy smile which she had perfected a long time ago for situations that needed one.

"At home. They are tired but they cant wait to see you when you get home." Stef explained. It wasn't a full lie but it was better then the truth. Seeing the letter pinned to the their front door had all the kids scared. Everyone was afraid, they had no idea who was after their girls or which her the person was referencing.

Stef had called her captain and had asked for a few patrol cars to scan the neighbour hood at random intervals, her captain was more then happy to do. The security at the hospital had been informed of the situation, no one but Stef, Lena and Sharon could enter the room. A doctor wasn't allowed in unless Sharon, Lena or Stef were in the room. She was taking every precautionary measure to ensure her children's safety, she wasn't going to let anything happen to her children.

"Whenever that is." Callie sighed out. Stef chuckled and made her way over to her daughters bedside and kissed the teens temple and pulling her into a hug as she sat on the bed with Callie.

"Its good to have my eldest baby girl my arms." Callie laughed and hugged her mom back. She could sense there was something wrong but she wouldn't push it. It might not be any of her business. Surely she would find out later.

Mother daughter hug time was interrupted by Stefs phone ringing. Stef sighed and looked at her phone as she pulled it out of her pocket. Stef immediately knew who the unknown number was and excused herself as she released from Callies embrace.

"Excuse me, I have to take this." Stef got up and moved out of the room. Sharon and Callie looked at each other.

"I wonder who that is." Callie sighed out. Must have been important to have to answer it now.

"It looked important from your moms face." Callie nodded and looked to the door where her mom had just left.

"So do you reckon they will let me go home soon grandma?" Callie asked turning to her grandmother. Sharon scooted the chair forward so it was closer to the bed and took Callies left hand in both of hers.

Just like Callie, Sharon too could read Stef. There was something wrong and Sharon was worried. Hopefully it wasn't too bad.

"I hope so, your brothers, sisters and moms are missing you alot. Hospitals are horrible, even if they make you better." Both Sharon and Callie laughed. Stef walked in at that moment, slipping her phone into her pocket and taking a seat on the bed next to Callie. Both Sharon and Callie waiting for her to say something.

"That was our lawyer." Stef sighed out looking at Callie. Brining up a lawyer wasn't good in Callies books. Callie looked at her hands and fiddled with them for a bit. Sharon and Stef watchng the teen and waiting for her to digest the lawyer being on the phone.

"W...what did she want?" Callie asked as she looked up into her moms face. Callie was worred, Lawyers never bring good news. Stef pushed a few stray hairs behind Callies ear before speaking.

"The judge for the trial called her. He heard about what happened and wanted to know if you could make it to court tomorrow." Callie looked at her mom wide eyed.

"Its tomorrow?" Callie knew the court date would be soon, just not this soon.

"Yeah tomorrow afternoon." Stef studdied Callies face. She could see the teen was deep In throught. Stef looked to her mom and Sharon just gave a sad smile in return. Her daughter and her family had been through so much that it never ends. Hopefully they will get some good luck their way.

"What If I don't get out on time?" Callie asked.

"The judge said we can let him know by this evening." Callie nodded. She wanted the trial to be over. Hopefully she could get out of here soon and get to the court on time tomorrow.

"Knock knock." all three women in the room looked up to see the smiling doctor at the door.

"Hey doc." Callie smiled. She was hoping that he would tell her that she could go home today or very soon so she could go to the trial tomorrow and move forward in her life.

"Hey Callie, how are you feeling today?" The doctor came in closer to the bed and grabbed Callies chart from the end of her bed and began reading the notes, all the while making conversation.

"Fine, just want to go home." Stef, Sharon and the doctor all chuckled.

Thats understandable. Alright let me check your incision out." The doc put her chart down and went over to Callie to examine her incision. Stef hopped off of the bed to let the doc in.

Callie raised her gown enough for the doctor to get a look at her incision. He pulled on some gloves and carefully moved the bandage from the wounded area to take a look. Callie waited, her fingers crossed, as the doctor examined her.

"Good news Callie. There is no infection and it is healing really well. From what I can see it looks like you can get out tomorrow." The doc said as he took his gloves off and threw them in the bin in the corner of the room. Callie was beaming, that was the best news she could have hoped for. Sharon and Stef both smiling aswell.

"That is great news. I was just going to ask you if she can get out. She goes to court tomorrow." Stef smiled and thanked the doctor. The doc just smiled.

"Well what a coincidence. Now as long as you take care of yourself and keep up with the after care directions when you get out, I don't want to see you in my hospital again. Well for social calls its ok." Everyone laughed at that. A smile not leaving Callies face at the news.

"Alright thankyou doc" Callie thanked.

"Ill see you tomorrow to give my official consent after I check your incision." Callie nodded at the doctor, she was going to make sure she did everything she could to get out tomorrow.

"Ok Thank you." Stef shook the doctors hand as he walked to the exit of the room.

"Your welcome." He said before leaving the room. Stef turned to Callie and laughed.

"You're coming home tomorrow." Stef cheered. Sharon laughed and shook her head in amusement.

"Hopefully." Callie smiled as her mom came over and gave her a hug. All three women happy about the news.

Xxxxxx

"CALLIE!" Was the first thing Callie heard as she stepped out of the car. Lena and Sharon had stayed home with the kids while Stef brought Callie home alone.

"Hey Mini." Callie greeted as the small blonde ran to her sister. She got to her sister and slowed down, knowing that Callie was probably still a little sore. She carefully hugged her biggest sister, glad to see that she really was ok.

"I missed you lots and lots." Rylan mumbled into Callies stomach. Callie chuckled and ran her hands through her little sisters long blonde hair, which had yet to be brushed.

"I missed you too. I missed you all." Callie smiled and looked around to all of her brothers, sisters, moms and grandmother. She was glad to be home.

"Alright lets go put your stuff down and have some morning tea before the lawyer gets here."Stef said as she slung Callies bag over her shoulder and headed towards the house after locking the car.

"Good idea, come on guys. You miss Rylan need to go get dressed out of your pyjamas."Lena explained. Rylan pouted at her Mama, earning a round of laughter from her family.

"Can't I wait till I have to get dressed for court?" Rylan pleased as she walked into the house holding her Mamas hand. Lena chuckled and then sighed.

"I guess just for today."

"Yaaaaaaaay." Rylan cheered and headed into the kitchen with Jesus and Jude, leaving the rest of her family to laugh behind her.

The families Lawyer had come and gone through the statements and questions and other relevant information that they would need to know. Both girls really nervous and somewhat scared of what was going to happen.

The last thing on the families mind right now was the note pinned to the door. They needed to get this trial over and done with before even focusing on the note. There was no clues yet as to who put it their, the crime lab were working on it right as they speak, Stef will be updated when they have something. Then and only then would they tell Callie, the other kids had been informed that they can't tell Callie. Stef and Lena knew that if someone was to tell Callie, it would be Rylan but on accident.

Soon enough the Adams Foster family, Sharon, Mike, Captain Roberts, Officer Morales, Officer Jones and The family Lawyer Miss Rose Peabody all stood outside the courtroom in the hallway, waiting to go in.

Rylan clung to her mom, she was frightened and she had every right to be. Callie stood between her moms, her hand on Rylans back rubbing up and down to give the girl comfort.

They weren't waiting long before they were all entering the courtroom. Each persons mind filled with different emotions, all trying their hardest to remain calm and composed.

Brandon, Mariana, Jesus, Jude and Sharon slid in to one row in that order, Brandon in the isle. The boys being protectors of the two younger kids next to them. Behind them were captain Roberts and the two officers.

Mike, Rylan, Stef, Lena and Callie sat in the row in front of the others in that order The judge had allowed the two girls to remain with their families as to not scare them.

Rylan had decided that she would sit between Mike and her mom. Both were cops and she felt invisible when she sat between them. She also could hide beside Mike as he was a bit bigger and acted as a shield. Rylan squished up to Stefs side as she looked slowly around the room at her surroundings. She was still scared, but not as scared with her mom and family by her side.

Miss Peabody took her seat at the designated table just as Liams Lawyer Mr Troode entered the room followed by Liam in hand and foot cuffs as he is escorted to their designated table.

Callie sat up straight, trying to look unaffected by Liam whereas Rylan cowered into Stefs side. Mariana cowered into Jesus side, her brother wrapping a protective arm around her. Liam smirked at the three girls as he was pushed into a sitting position.

The jury members all walked in and took their seats just as a loud voice rang out to start the trial.

"All rise for the honourable judge Michael McManus." The judge walked up to his seat and looked around as he sat.

"You may be seated." everyone sat. Rylan huddled closer to her mom. Stef lent down and kissed the small blondes head to comfort her. This was a scary thing for a child to have to endure.

"Callie Adams foster and Rylan Elizabeth vs Liam olmstead so far on the charges of Rape, stalking, breaking and entering and assault. Lets get started." The judge spoke.

"Mr Troode, your first witness."

"Thank you, your honour. For my first witness, I call Callie Adams foster to the stand." Slowly Callie released her Mamas hand and walked past her mama, Rylan, her mom and Mike to get to the aisle. She kept her head high and didn't look at Liam. He wasn't going to frighten her, not anymore.

"Raise your left land and place your right hand on this bible and State your full name please" Callie got asked when she reached the witness stand.

"Callie Quinn Adams Foster." Callie said and then she was able to sit and wait for Liams awfully stupid lawyer to question her.

"Now Miss Adams – Foster...May I call you Callie?" Mr Troode was trying to be friendly. Callie wasn't having a bar of him. His stupid hair cut and his attitude annoyed the crap out of her.

"No." Callie said automatically. Only the people she wanted to call her Callie could, Mr Troode was one of them. Stef and the rest of the family smiled brightly at Callie, they could see the confidence she was portraying and they sat up straighter. If Callie was going to be confident then they were too.

"What do you wish to be called?" Mr Troode asked, a little taken back by the stern voice the teen was using.

"My last names are what you knew so lets go with those." Callie spat out. Even the judge smirked a little at the girls attitude. She sure was a spit fire.

"Very well. How old were you when you first met my client?"

"I just turned 15." Callie responded. It was a simple question but yet Mr Troode made it sound stupid.

"Just turned 15. so a young teenage with raging hormones." Callie glared at the lawyer and the judge frowned.

"Objection, that has nothing to do with anything." Miss Peabody stood up.

"Get to the point Mr Troode and do not make another remark like that or you will be removed from my courtroom." Judge Michael McManus explained a bit angered already and it hadn't even been a few minutes since the trial had started. This lawyer was going to be a problem in his courtroom.

"Yes and sorry, your honour. Now you claim that my client burned a brand onto your skin, Is that correct?

"It is correct." Callie didn't let the Lawyer phase her, she was going to answer questions like she needed to.

"Is there any way that you could have burned yourself?" Mr Troode asked looking from Callie and in the corner of his eye he could see Liam smirking. He didn't want to defend the olmstead man but the parents were paying big money. He would pretend to act like he was doing his job but really he couldn't care less about his client.

"Im not going to lie, I could have done it but I didn't. There is really no reason to do it to myself, I don't gain anything." Callie responded. She let out a sigh and uncrossed her legs to cross them the other way.

"How is the jury suppose to believe that you didn't do it yourself?" Mr Troode gestured to the jury. Callie looked them over before speaking directly to them.

"Well for one, how do you explain the exact brand on my foster sisters stomach in the exact same spot?" She counteracted the question back at Mr Troode as she looked from the Jury to stare at Mr Troode.

"You could have done that to her Miss Adams Foster when you were in the home with her." Callie rolled her eyes and Miss peabody along with Callies Family all rolled their eyes aswell. Was this Lawyer for real?

"Well Mr Troode, if you can read, which im sure you can since you are a lawyer, you would see in the notes that Rylan and I were never in the same foster home until we met in the Adams Foster home where I was already adopted." A few of the jury members chuckled and so did a few of the court room audience members including her family. This lawyer was an idiot.

"How will the jury know that you didn't branded her when she got to the home with you?" Callie raised her eyebrow as if to say 'really? You're going there?'

"Mr Troode, can I ask you a question?" Mr Trood looked at Callie, wondering what question she would be asking. Mr Troode looked to the judge to see if that was alright.

"Your honour?" Judge Michael McManus looked at Callie and then Mr Troode before nodding.

"I will allow it. Ask your question Miss Adams Foster."

"Thank you, now Mr Troode. Do you know what science is?" Callie asked seriously while Mr Troode rolled his eyes and crossed his arms in amusement as he leant against the desk where Liam sat.

"Yes I do"

"Good, you get an A. Well done." Stef couldn't be more proud of her daughter for being nervous at home to this confident angel in the courtroom. It was beautifully inspiring.

"Im waiting Miss Adams Foster." Mr Troode asked annoyed. Stef smirked along with Lena. Rylan had snuggled in closer and closer to Stef. She wouldn't feel comfortable till she was out of the room where Liam was.

"Impatient are we. Anyway, now science has developed skills where they can test as to the time someone was killed, how long blood has been on a certain spot etc. well these days they can test scars and cuts and burns to estimate the time they were done . If a doctor or scientist were to test Rylans brand they would see that it was done the exact time she was living with the Olmsteads just like mine, coincidence?... I think not." Callie summed up looking all smug. The jaw dropped look on Mr Troodes face was priceless and Callie had to hid her smug feeling deep down but it was still there.

"I..uh.. no more questions your honour." Mr Troode stuttered as he scurried to his seat. He couldn't believe that had just gone down.

Brandon and Jesus were proud of Callie just like the rest of their family and friends. Rylan smiled, her sister was one of the most amazing people she knew.
