Previously:

"One down, more to go." Stef sighed out. Lena nodded.

"Yeah, lets go celebrate before we have to ruin the happiness with our horrible news about the adoption. We also have to let Callie know about the knife before one of the other kids tells her." Lena explained as they walked slower behind the group so they could talk.

"I know, celebrate first, worry later yeah?" Stef asked.

"Yeah." Lena agreed as they headed towards the kids, glad that the two of them were on the same page which is how they make their relationship work.

"Pizza and soda for dinner?" Lena suggested as she reached the group, which earned her a raised eyebrow from Stef. Stef wasn't going to complain, she was just shocked that Lena would suggest it.

"Yeah, best day ever." Jesus fist pumped the air making everyone around him laugh.

"Pizza and Soda it is."

"Dig in everyone." Stef said as Pizza was placed on the table in the kitchen and soda bottles were placed on the bench. The kids came in like a swarm of flies, grabbed their pieces and moved away to sit down. Stef chuckled at the kids before her and the rest of the adults got their pizza slices.

Mike, Sharon, Lena and Stef grabbed their pizzas and drinks and headed outside while the kids did their own thing inside.

"Whats the plans now guys?" Mike asked as the four of them took seats around the garden decking to eat and drink.

"We need to figure out who is after one of our girls and Wait to hear from Bill." Stef explained before taking a bite of a piece of Pepperoni pizza. Lena nodded, agreeing with what Stef said as she chewed a bite of her own pizza slice.

"Lets hope the crime scene guys hurry up with that." Mike said. Lena and Stef agreed. The faster they get answers the faster their kids would be safe.

"Yeah, the sooner the better." Lena spoke. Sharon was nodding in understanding and then she asked what was on her mind since the start.

"What about Bill darling?" Stef put down her slice. Her appetite gone right now as she thought about Rylan, the adoption and the apparent family member.

"Oh, at the Cafe today Bill called Me. He told us rylans adoption was halted because a family member has come forward. They are doing searches on them but we will be kept in the loop." Lena also put her pizza down, no longer hungry. Sharon gave a sad smile, she really wanted Rylan as a granddaughter and she was upset that her daughter and daughter in law could lose the amazing little girl.

"So theres a chance she will be placed with them?" Sharon asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, we don't want her to leave but the system prefers biological relatives over adoption." Lena explained sadly, in her mind she could see Rylan as a fully adopted child in the family but at the moment it was just a distant dream.

"Have you told the kids?" Mike spoke up before sipping on his beer. This news was really sucking, he liked the kid and he liked his ex wifes family and wanted them to be happy. Rylan did that for them, she is the missing piece.

"No we are waiting for more news, we don't want to break their hearts if its not necessary." Lena explained. Mike and Sharon nodded in understanding, that was a very good idea.

"Mommy?" A little voice cut through the silence and all adults looked to the back door to see the little blonde peaking out. Lena motioned the little girl over and so Rylan toddled over to stand infront of her parents.

"Yes Rylan." Stef asked as the little blonde now stood in front of them, pizza sauce all over her face. Lena smiled at the little girl, a bath was a definite for the little girl, although she does look like she enjoyed her pizza.

"Can Uncle Mike come watch transformers with us? Brandon said he like transformers." Rylan asked hopefully. Everyone went awkwards silent at the 'uncle mike' that had been dropped from the little girl. Even Mike was shocked, that was a first he had heard the little girl call him that.

"uh..ummm... can you give us a minute sweets?" Stef stuttered, unsure of how to answer the little blonde. Rylan looked hopeful from her moms to 'uncle Mike'.

"Sure mommy, but is that a yes Uncle mike?" Rylan asked. Mike looked from Lena to Stef and then to Rylan.

"Oh, umm, sure. Ill be in, in a minute." Rylan smiled at the answer, a big smile still on her face before she turned to talk to the other three adults.

"Ok. Mommy, Mama, Grandma will you come too?" Rylan looked at the three of them.

"Sure darling. We will all join you. We will be in soon." Sharon spoke making Rylan even more happier.

"Ok, don't take too long." And with that the little blonde ran inside to tell her brothers and sisters that their parents and grandma will be in soon.

All four adults watched the little blonde head inside before the three women looked at Mike, eyebrows raised.

"ummmm, you're Uncle Mike now?" Lena raised her eyebrow. She wondered how that came about.

" Are you ok with her calling you that?" Stef added. Mike looked a little awkward at being put on the spot. He sighed and looked at the three women, wondering how he could explain.

"Well...ummm.. well I see your kids as my nieces and nephews so I guess its alright. I just don't know why she called me that. But I really am ok with her calling me that but only if its not weird for you guys?" Mike finally got out, he was rambeling a bit and Stef had to chuckle.

"Ummm, they need more male figures in their lives, so im ok with it. Stef?" Lena said before she looked at her wife for her opinion.

"I guess so. You are around a lot because of Brandon." Stef gave her answer. Sharon smiled as she watched the three way convo, her family was jumbled and weird but she wouldn't have them any other way.

"If you're not comfortable with her calling me that then ill tell her." Mike said again, mainly looking at Stef. He wanted to make sure they are 100 percent ok with it.

"No, its fine. She needs male figures in her life so its fine." Stef answered. He was in their lives anyway, it couldn't hurt.

"Ok, well I better go in. They are waiting for me." Mike said grabbing his beer and empty plate as he stood up. The three women would probably talk and then come in, he would go entertain the kids while they talked.

"Ahaha, enjoy." Stef smirked as Lena chuckled.

"Its transformers Stef." Mike said in a 'duh' tone. Sharon and Lena smirked while Stef rolled her eyes. Mike did love transformers just like she did, it was a foster thing. No wonder Rylan was a perfect fit.

"That is true. Go on you big kid, go join the kids. We will be in soon." Stef used her foot to push Mike away.

"Hey..." Mike said in mock offence, a smirk on both his and Stefs faces as he said it. Sharon and Lena looked at each other and shook their heads. Its still funny to Lena that these two were married, she couldn't picture them married, although she didn't want to picture it.

"What its true, you are a big kid." Stef added. Mike rolled his eyes and went to reply with a smart Comment but Sharon stood up and pushed the man towards the door.

"Lets go Mike, we have kids waiting on us." Lena and Stef chuckled as they watched Sharon and Mike head in to entertain the kids, both of them annoying each other on the way into the house.

"It will be good for the kids to have a male figure like that in their lives, he is Brandons dad so he will be in our live forever and so he will be in our kids lives forever." Lena spoke up after the two other adults were inside. Lena scooted her chair closer to her wifes and linked hands. Stef brought Lenas right hand up and kissed it.

"I know, I know...im just glad she didn't call him dad." Lena nodded fast. That would be horrible.

"Oh, that would really have annoyed me. It would have been a straight out no. One of our kids calls him dad, I don't want our other kids calling him dad, that would freak me out." Lena explained, feeling freaked out just thinking of it. Stef let out a laugh at her wife, although Lena was right. It would be weird and freak her out aswell.

"That is true honey. Uncle Mike is safer." Stef said as she stood with her plate and Lenas plate in her spare hand as her other held one of Lenas, making her stand up as well.

"Definitely." Lena whispered as she leant in and gave Stef a peck on the cheek before the two of them headed inside to see what trouble the kids were getting up to with Sharon and Mike.

"Did you see that Uncle Mike? Bee is my favourite, hes so awesome." Rylan giggled from her perch on Mikes lap Her back to his chest as she watched her favourite movie. The kids all chuckling at the ' Uncle Mike' thing. It did make sense to them. He was Brandons dad and so he was kind of like an uncle to the others.

"I did. It is really cool." Mike chuckled. It was weird watching a movie with a youngster again, she was just like Brandon at this age. He couldn't get over how petite she was for her age, yet she was an active child.

"Ewww, yucky. Why do they always have to kiss?" Rylan scrunched her face up as the male and female characters , Sam and Mikaela kissed. All the kids around her chuckled, even Mike and Sharon let out a chuckle. Little kids minds on adult things was hilarious.

"Its how people who love each other, show the other person that they love them." Mariana explained to the little blonde, a smile on her face as she looked at Rylans scrunched up face.

"Im never going to kiss a boy, they are yucky." Rylan continued to screw her face up as Stef and Lena entered at the right moment to hear the little girl say this.

"Thats what I like to hear. You are to young to think of boys in that way." Stef said in a semi serious tone, trying her hardest not to laugh at the little girls scrunched up face. Both her and Lena took a seat on the sofa that Jesus and Jude got off to let their moms sit down next to Mike and Rylan.

"Yeah until you get older and want to kiss boys." Mariana commented. Rylan crossed her arms, shook her head and still had a scrunched up face.

"Or girls." Callie added.

"Yes or girls." Mariana said taking in Callies input.

"I dont want to kiss, its yucky." Rylan was firm on her decision. Everyone had to chuckle, every kid goes through the phase where kissing is yucky, it was just funny to see it first hand.

"Its yucky huh." Rylan nodded at her mom. Stef raised her eyebrow and smirked. She snatched Rylan from Mikes grip and began to place kisses all over Rylans face. The little girl bursting into laughter and little squeals as her moms kissing was tickling her.

"No mommy, mommy." Rylan giggled out. Everyone all joining in on the laughter, laughter really was contagious.

"Is mommys kissing yucky?" Stef stopped her kissing to ask the little girl. Rylan took a few deep breaths, a smile on her face.

"Yes." Rylan giggled and Stef rolled her eyes at the little girl.

"Oh really?" Stef raised her eyebrow again at the little girl. Rylan knew her mom was going to either tickle or kiss tickle her after saying that, she loved messing around like this with her moms and siblings.

"Mommy...mommy." Rylan was giggling hard as Stef went back to kissing Rylan all over her face as she tickled her. The little blonde was trying to tell her mom to stop but she really didn't want her mom to stop, she was having fun.

"Oh I love my Mini kisses." Stef said over the little girls laughter. The others around also laughing and rolling their eyes at the two blondes.

"Stop Mommy." Rylan finally managed to get out as Stef continued to kiss and tickle the little blonde.

"Stef let that girl go before she wets her pants. Shes bright red already." Sharon got out and shook her head in amusement at her daughter and Rylan.

"Ok, give me a kiss." Stef said after she stopped tickling the little girl and letting her get a break to catch her breath.

"Allllrrrriight." Rylan rolled her eyes and gave her mom a kiss. She was worn out from the laughing so she just slumped in her moms arms, her chest rising and falling fast as she tried to regulate her breathing into a normal pattern.

"Thank you baby." Stef said as she stood up and placed a now worn out Rylan back onto Mikes lap. Rylan shifted on Mikes lap to get comfortable before she yawned and settled into the movie after Callie had paused it when the tickling had begun.

"Welcome mommy." Rylan mumbled, her tired eyes now glued onto the tv.

"Alright, say goodbye to grandma." Sharon said as she stood up. It was getting late and she needed to drive home still. Each kid said goodbye, even Mike did before Stef and Lena left Mike with the kids as they walked Sharon out.

Xxxxxx

"Bath and bed for the little girl?" Stef asked as they waved goodbye to Sharon as she pulled out of the driveway and headed in the direction to her home.

"Yeah, its getting late." Lena said as the two of them headed into the house, ready to bath the little girl and send the others off to get ready for bed. Mike would want to go home sometime aswell.

As Stef and Lena entered the house and closed the front door. They took their coats off, Stef the first to see the sight of the kids.

"Lena, check it out." Stef called Lena quietly as she looked in the living room, her side resting against the frame of the entry into the living room.

"Shes so sweet when she sleeps." Lena smiled at the scene in front of them. Rylan was snuggled in Mikes lap fast asleep as Jesus, Brandon and Mike all stared at the tv screen intently as Star wars played on screen.

Callie, Jude and Mariana Missing from the room, obviously already gone up to bed leaving Mike, Brandon, Jesus and Rylan downstairs.

"Im glad shes comfortable with Mike, shes getting better with male figures." Stef whispered to her wife. Lena nodded.

"She has, shes come a long way."

"Yeah a very long way." Stef smiled, the little girl had changed so much since she had been with them, it was amazing.

"Alright, we will just have to wipe her face and hands and give her a bath in the morning." Lena suggested, her eyes not moving from the sight in front of her.

"Yeah, that better then dealing with a whining, tired and clinging kid." Stef agreed adding her two cents in of when Rylan is woken from sleep. Lena frowned before looking at her wife.

"Stef!" Lena scolded with a raised eyebrow at her wife. Stef shrugged and chuckled.

"What? Its true though." Lena rolled her eyes. It was true but there was no need to say it.

"Don't complain though, just means more cuddles." Stef thought about that and she had to agree.

"True." Lena shook her head as she went into the living room to grab Rylan. Her mind focused on getting the litle girls hands and face cleaned up before putting her to bed.

Naww Mike and Rylan, thats cute.

Got to love the Stef and Rylan bonding moments though.
