"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.

Stef and Lena entered their bedroom around Midnight after finally getting all the kids in bed and sleeping soundly, locking up the house and putting the dishes in a neat pile to be done tomorrow.

"Its been a very long day." Lena sighed out as she continued to get ready for bed.

"Oh it has, I think ill be out of it before my head even hits the pillow." Stef announced as she slipped off her clothes and slid into some night ware and then got into bed after finishing her nightly routine.

"Agreed." Lena said from the bathroom before heading over to the bed and sliding in next to her wife. Both just laying on their pillows looking up at the ceiling, too tired to read or do anything else.

Lena sighed and yawned. Stef reached out a hand and pulled Lena into her side. Lena immediately snuggled up to Stef with her head on her wifes chest.

"We need a vacation after everything thats gone on." Stef spoke up as the room went quiet for a few minutes.

"Yeah, the kids definitely need one to clean their minds out and relax." Stef nodded. A vacation is definitely what the family needed right now.

"Mmmmm" Lena groaned, her body slowly relaxing itself into the mattress.

"How about we go camping this weekend? We leave saturday morning and come home monday afternoon?" Stef suggested. Lena shifted so she was on her side looking down at her wife.

"What about our jobs and the kids school?" Lena asked, hoping Stef had a plan because camping and relaxing did sound amazing right now.

Stef moved her left hand and ran her hand up and down Lenas right arm that she was leaning on to keep her upright.

"We can call in the morning and arrange it. I have a few days saved up that I can use." Stef explained. Lena nodded, the idea was coming together well, hopefully they could go camping.

"Ill re arrange my schedule and anything I can't change I can get Helen to cover." Lenas face was now smiling as the camping idea was becoming more real. Stef smiled at her wifes smile, it was contagious just like laughter.

"Thats the best thing about having a vice principal, they cover you." Lena nodded.

"That is true. So its official?" Lena asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Until we get things arranged with work, its in the process love." Lena sighed and nodded. Her fingers were crossed though.

"Ok, but are you excited?" Stef raised her eyebrow and pulled a face at Lena that said 'really'.

"About camping? Definitely love." Lena chuckled. Of course her wife would be excited, it was nature, sports the outdoors. Things that Stef loved. Lena chuckled and lay back down with her head resting on her wifes chest. Stef ran her left hand up and down Lenas back as she thought about camping, well both of them thought about camping.

"Relaxing around the fire, eating marshmallows, swimming in the lake, fishing..." Stef daydreamed.

"Mmmm...sounds really good." Lena sighed out, loving the sound of it already and they haven't even got the all clear to go yet.

"It does. Cuddling, making out and other stuff sounds good too." Lena moved her head without moving her body so she could look at Stef in the eye with a raised eyebrow.

"Really Stef?" Stef chuckled at her wifes raised eyebrow and amused look.

"What, its our vacation." Stef shrugged, it was a good idea.

"Good point." Lena finally said moving up so she could plant a kiss to her wifes lips. Stef deepened the kiss, it was slow but passionate. Full of love.

"Mmmm, love you." Lena pulled away as she yawned and lay her head back on her wifes chest after turning the bedside light off on her side.

"Love you too, love. Night." Stef said pecking Lenas head, reaching over and turning her light off and snuggling down into the covers. Her wifes head on her chest and her wifes body snuggled up to her own was all she needed to feel relaxed and sleepy right now.

"Night." Lena mumbled sleepily, already being pulled into the darkness of sleep.

Thursday morning was a chilled one. Stef was able to get the days off to go camping and Lena was able to get her meetings rescheduled and Helen Sanders the vice Principal to cover for her.

With the kids off of school already for the trial and being the principal made it easier for Lena to get it sorted out.

Stef was upstairs putting washing away, Callie and Mariana were in their room sorting out date stuff for tomorrow night, the boys were upstairs doing god knows what and Rylan was in the kitchen colouring at the table while Lena did some paperwork next to her.

"Mama, door." Rylan heard the knock at the door and stopped colouring. Lena had heard it to and chuckled at her daughter as she stood up and headed around the table.

"I heard baby. Thank you though." Lena said kissing Rylans temple as she passed the little blonde.

"Welcome." Rylan smiled at her Mama and then went back to colouring as Lena went to answer the door. They weren't expecting anyone so she had no idea who it could be.

"Hey Mike." Lena smiled as she greeted the person on the other side of the door.

"Hey Lena." Mike said walking into the house as Lena closed the door behind her.

"How are you? Do you want a coffee?"

"Im good and no thanks, I just came by to ask you something." Mike said as the two of them remained in the entrance of the house.

"Ok, sure what is it?" Curious as to what her wifes ex husband wanted. Even thinking that, it still sounded weird to Lena, her wifes ex husband.

"So I was wondering if I could take the boys off your hands for a couple of hours and take them to the batting cages?" Mike asked. He was getting the ok part out before he built up to the other thing he wanted to ask. Lena raised her eyebrow at him, she could see it was more then that. Of course it was ok, it usually was ok.

"I haven't got a problem with it like always. They will enjoy the male bonding time with you." Mike nodded and he fidgeted on the spot. Lena raised an eyebrow and with that one look Mike said what he also wanted to ask.

"See I was also wondering about taking Rylan as well, since shes fond of sports like the boys." Mike gave Lena a sheepish look. He felt weird asking about taking one of the girls. It was a lot different then taking the boys.

"Ummm, ill have to ask Stef. With everything going on I just don't know." Lena gave an accurate answer. She really did have to talk to Stef. With someone after one of their daughters and they didn't know which one, the family were taking every precaution.

"I know, I understand I just wanted to ask. I didn't want her to feel left out." Lena nodded. That was a very good reason, that might just sway her into agreeing to let Rylan go.

"Rylan baby can you come here please?" Lena called loud enough so that the little girl in the kitchen could hear but not loud enough so the whole house could hear her.

"Yes mama? " The little girl toddled in, her hand holding her bee toy that she had lost a few days ago but found this morning behind the couch when she was hiding from Jesus behind it.

"Uncle mike!" A big grin was on the little girls face as she saw her Uncle. Mike picked the girl up as she held her hands up asking to be lifted. Lena smiled at the scene, she was glad it was just an uncle bonding thing and not taking a dad role in her life.

"Hey kid." Mike smiled as Rylan hugged his neck.

"I found my bee toy. Jesus was playing with me and I was hiding from him behind the couch and found it." She said holding her bee toy up so that Mike could see it. He was starting to get to know Rylan and he was interested in the things she liked. She was not your average almost 7 year old.

"Wow aren't you lucky. It was like you were meant to find him today." Lena smiled at the interaction, glad to see that Rylan was no longer afraid of a Mike.

"Yeah...What are you doing here?" Mike chuckled and responded to her question.

"Im just asking your moms something." Rylan nodded, but was curious as to what he wanted to ask her moms.

"Yes he is, so can you go ask mom to come here please?" Mike put the little girl on the ground so she could go get Stef.

"Ok. MOMMY." Rylan yelled from her spot at the entrance of the house. Lena sighed and rolled her eyes. She was just like Stef.

"Rylan go to her, no yelling like that Please." Rylan smiled sheepishly

"Sorry Mama." The tone of voice was so sweet coming from the little blonde. Mike wondered how the moms could say no to that. Women were much stronger then he thought.

"Its ok Baby, just remember no yelling." Rylan nodded before heading upstairs to get her mom. Both adults watching with smiles as she left.

"I miss Brandon being that age." Mike sighed out as he watched Rylan before turning to Lena.

"Me too, they grow up so fast." Mike nodded. They surely did grow too fast. One minute they are in a diaper and getting into mischief and the next they are driving a car.

"That they do." Mike whispered thinking about Brandon as a little boy.

"Hey mike. Our daughter said you wanted me Lena?" Stef, carrying Rylan on her hip, roused the two out of their daydreams as she got to the last step and stood near her wife and ex husband.

"Uhh,Yes I did. Mike wants to take the boys to the batting cages and I have no problem with them going..." Lena trailed off trying to find a way to let her know that Rylan was asked to go.

"Me either. Why would there be a problem?" Stef raised her eyebrow knowing that her wife was holding something back.

"He wants to take Rylan aswell." Lena said cautiously looking at Stef, waiting for her reaction. Stef was the most protective. Her, Callie and Rylan all had a special bond that couldn't be broken so Stef was even more protective of them.

"Oh, ummm." Stef looked at a beaming Rylan, tryng her best to look angelic so she could go, yet not actually realising that its not her behaviour they were thinking about.

"Mommy can I go please?" Rylan asked and then gave a puppy dog pout. All three adults chuckled at the little blonde. She was too smart and cute for her own good.

"What do you think?" Lena asked her wife hesitantly.

"As long as one of you has her in your sights at all times." Stef finally said giving Mike a glare and warning. She was still weary but not as much as before. There were going to be the three boys and Mike watching her so that helped ease her mind a little, not by much though.

"Yay." Rylan beamed and cheered from her perch on her moms hip.

"I mean it Mike. In your sights at all times." Mike held his hands up and took a step back at Stefs glare and tone of voice. Lena chuckled and Mike didn't know what to do, he hadn't seen Stef like this before but he should have known that she was really, really protective.

"Sure I got it. Watch her at all time." Stef gave him a nod of finalty. Mike knew that he would have to watch the little girl carefully now. He knew how much the little girl meant to the family and with some Psycho after one of the girls the moms were on tight protective mama tiger mode.

"Ok, go tell your brothers." Stef said setting Rylan down so she could go upstairs and get her brothers to go.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaay." Rylan cheered all the way up the stairs. Lena and Finally Stef smiled at the little blonde. One gesture like letting her go out with her brothers and Mike to the batting cages, made the little blonde so happy and the moms would treasure and store that memory and information away in their brains for next time.

"I will, don't worry. The four of us boys will watch her."

Mmmmmhmmmmm." Stef still wasn't 100 percent ready to send Rylan out with him but she can't keep the blonde locked in the house, so with a nod she left Lena and Mike at the door to wait for the kids while she headed into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water, praying that they would have an uneventful time at the batting cages and simply just hit balls.

"She will be fine, Mike and the boys will watch her...I hope." Stef mumbled to herself. Hopefully she wasn't stressing over anything and they would have a good time without anything happening.

Thursday morning also saw Callie and Mariana chatting with Wyatt and Matt through text to sort out their dates for Friday night. Both girls extremely excited, mainly Mariana.

Mariana stood in front of the mirror that hung on their wardrobe, a dress still on its coat hanger held up against herself. She was trying to see which outfit looked good while they waited on a message from Matt to tell them what to wear for the night.

"So casual but hot." Callie declared after reading the message off of Marianas phone.

"This is going to be interesting tomorrow night. I mean Wyatt and Matt aren't really friends but they could become friends after tomorrow night right?...Wait, what is casual but hot?" Mariana rambled but then turned to Callie a little confused. Callie chuckled.

"I thought you were the fashion guru around here." Mariana rolled her eyes and hung her dress back up.

"I am but I don't do casual hot. I don't even know what Casual hot is." Mariana placed her hand on her right hip and jutted her hip out, looking at Callie to give her more detail on this Casual but hot thing.

"Alright, casual hot is basically like jeans and a really good shirt. Or a nice sun dress or something like that." Mariana put her finger on her chin and looked at her clothes in the wardrobe, trying to think about what that looked like.

"Oh... thats easy. I can work with that." Callie shook her head, a smile on her face as Mariana turned to rummage through her clothes for an outfit.

"You can work with anything when It comes to fashion." Mariana spoke, not looking back at Callie once as she looked through her clothes.

"That is true, im just a genius. Now lets choose our clothes. We want to look nice and be prepared so we aren't rushing tomorrow." Callie rolled her eyes and stood up from the bed. Mariana was going to make this a much bigger deal then it was.

"Bring on tomorrow." Callie fake cheered with sarcasm, Mariana smiled from where she was looking through her clothes.

"I knew you would be excited." Mariana said not catching onto Callies sarcasm. Callie rolled her eyes and looked through her clothes as well, even though she already knew what she was wearing.
