Previously:
"Alright. Stay together and stay in public. " Stef said, hugging the girls again and leading them all to the door as Stef did the same.
"We will mom. See you later." Mariana called as her and Matt followed by Callie headed out the front door.
"Love you." Lena called.
"Love you too." Both girls called back as they got into Wyatts car. The two stood on the front porch and waved the four goodbye. Stef stood behind Lena, her arms around her wifes waist and her chin on Lenas shoulder as they watched the car disappear around a corner.
"They grow up so fast." Lean sighed out, things like this reminded her of the things she couldn't do with Frankie. It was still hard but each day made it easier, Lena knew that she would never forget Frankie.
"Fort now mommy, Mama?" Rylans voice broke the two women out of their day dreaming. Rylan had toddled out the front door and tapped her moms hip. Both women looked down at the little blonde and smile.
"Ok, fort now. Lets go." Rylan smiled and ran into the living room as her two moms chuckled behind her.
Xxxxxx
"Needs more pillows." Rylan said to herself as she looked at the fort that she and and her moms had created.
"I think its done baby girl." Stef chuckled out as she looked at the mess the living room now was. Pillows, blankets and sheets scattered around to make what looked somewhat like a fort since the little girl had taken the lead to making the fort.
Rylan stood with her hands on her hips as she looked around the room at her fort.
"hmmmm, wait..." She said running out of the room and upstairs.
"What is she getting now? All of our blankets and pillows are down here." Lena chuckled in wonder as she entered the living room with a tray of drinks for the three of them.
The fort consisted of three spare blankets, three spare sheets and a bunch of pillows. The moms knew not to use the other kids blankets and pillows just in case they came home tonight and decided not to stay where they were.
Three dining room chairs lined up on one side and three more dining chairs lined the other side and the sheets were placed across the chairs joining them to make a tent. A spare blanket lay on the floor with a dozen pillows for softness surrounded the edges.
"Can't be in our fort without bee." Rylan announced as she ran down the stairs and into the living room where her moms were standing, both sipping on tea or coffee.
"Bee. Of course, how could I forget." Lena smiled out as Rylan nodded. The little girl got so attached to things these days. Just looking at her, you wouldn't think she was almost 7. Sometimes they did forget that she was almost 7. Rylan was just so cuddly and small that it was hard to remember.
"Ok, lets go make dinner and then we can have a picnic in our fort." Rylan smiled brightly at her mamas idea.
"Yay." Rylan jumped up and down with excitement. She always wanted to build and fort and picnic in it and sleep in it. She was getting a dream of hers to come true and that made her really happy. The only thing missing was her brothers and sisters. She would just have to make a fort another time when they were home so that they could come in it aswell.
"What do you want to eat?" Stef asked the little blonde as the two of them headed into the kitchen behind Lena.
"Ummmm." Rylan put her finger on her chin like she was thinking really hard. Stef chuckled and leant against the table and looked at the little girl, waiting for her answer.
"How about spaghetti?" Lena asked as she looked through the fridge to see what they had. Sure enough there was mince in the fridge and Lena knew Rylan loved spaghetti. Plus it was quick and easy.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Rylan cheered, jumping up and down in excitement. Tonight was the best night in forever, was what Rylan was thinking.
"Calm down, shorty." Stef chuckled as Lena started to grab out what she needed to make spaghetti.
"Im calm. Lets make food.…..Hey im not a shorty." Rylan playfully glared at her mom after catching on to the shorty comment.
"Sorry." Rylan gave a quick nod as she sat on a stool to wait for instructions as Lena placed the pot in the sink to fill it with water.
"She loves her food." Lena chuckled out as she placed the pot of water on the stove to boil.
"Of course mama, im a growing girl." Rylan piped in as she was still sitting at the table, waiting for instructions of how she can help.
"That is true." Lena smiled and kissed the little blondes temple as passed to go to the fridge.
"Go wash your hands baby girl." Rylan slid off of the chair and headed to the bathroom downstairs to wash her hands.
"I wished she grew more." Lena said once Rylan was out of earshot.
"I know, I know but good things come in small packages." Stef spoke, Lena sighed and nodded. Stef was usually always right.
"She is definitely a good thing." Lena smiled as she said this. It was true. Rylan may be small, but she has a great personality and she has changed the family a lot since being placed with them.
"Amen to that my love."

"Maybe we should have done home made pizza." Stef chuckled out at the sight of the little girl.
"I think you are right." Lena agreed with a smile as she looked at the little blonde aswell.
The three of them were sitting in the fort eating spaghetti. Well Lena and Stef were eating there spaghetti, Rylan looked like she was getting more on her face then in her stomach. The area around her mouth was full on red from the sauce, she had it in her hair, on her clothes and hands.
"Having fun there baby girl?" Stef asked, a smile still on her face at the sight of the little girl covered in pasta sauce. At least she was having fun.
"Yep. Whats for dessert mama?" Rylan asked, looking up at Lena. Both women smiling wide at the sight of the little girl. Rylan frowned, she didn't know why her moms were smiling.
"How about you focus on eating dinner first? You might be too full for dessert." Lena suggested and Stef nodded. Although judging by whats on her face, she might not be as full.
"Mama there is always room for dessert." Rylan said in a 'duh' tone. Lena rolled her eyes as Stef chuckled. Immediately Lena sent Stef a glare, Stef shut up but a smile was still firmly planted on her face.
"She does have a point." Stef pointed out, getting a glare from Lena and a nod from Rylan.
"Ok, ok, can you at least try to get it in your mouth because right now, its more over your face and lap then in your belly." Lena asked. Rylan looked at her lap and sheepishly smiled. She did make a mess, she always made a mess when it came to spaghetti. It was fun to get messy when eating, it means she was enjoying it.
"Ok, then dessert?" Rylan asked hopefully, her eyes shining. Lena rolled her eyes, Stef remained quiet even though she was laughing really hard on the inside.
"After you have finished dinner." Lena explained. Rylan sighed and picked her fork back up.
"Allllriiiiight." the little blonde sighed out before shoving a big mouthful of pasta in her mouth.
"Thank you."
"Im still having dessert though." Rylan stated after she swallowed her mouthful of spaghetti. Stef who had been holding it in, burst out laughing, where she received a glare from Lena.
"Stef!" Lena scolded her wife. Stef really was bad when it came down to encouraging the kids, like right now.
"What?" Stef asked, still smirking. Lena rolled her eyes. Rylan just continued to chew her dinner, she really did want dessert.
"You know what." Stef smiled and shrugged. She knew she was in trouble by her wife but Lena didn't stay mad at something silly for too long, she hoped.
"Sorry love." Stef finally gave in, although she really wasn't sorry because it really was hilarious.
"Mmmhmmmm." Lena eyed her wife before taking a sip of her water.
The two blondes really were trouble makers. Lena really had her hands full with the two of them.

"Alright lets get bathed and into our jammies, good idea?" Stef asked the little girl as she came back from the kitchen after putting their bowls in the sink to be washed later.
"Yeah." Rylan agreed, running upstairs towards the bathroom.
"You go bath her while I do the dishes." Lena stated.
"You sure?" Stef asked, hoping that it was what Lena really wanted to do.
"Yeah, im sure." Lena was all for bathing Rylan but with the girl covered in pasta sauce, she would let Stef deal with that mess.
"Ok love." Stef pecked Lenas lips and turned to head upstairs.
"We're still having dessert right?" Stef asked cheekily. Lena turned around with a raised eyebrow to see that her wife was being a smart ass.
"Go." Stef smirked at her wife from the kitchen entrance.
"love you." Stef called as she walked up the stairs to deal with a pasta sauce covered child.
"Love you too." Lena called back before turning back to the sink and filling it up, shaking her head with a smile as she did so.
Xxxxxx
"Alright stay here, im just going to go check on mama and get your pyjamas ready." Stef explained as she stood from her position of kneeling beside the tub.
"Ok Mommy." Rylan responded, not looking up from the toy boat she was playing with.
Stef chuckled, looking at the girl once more to make sure she was alright before heading out of the bathroom and down the stairs towards the kitchen.
"Hey love, all good down here?" Stef asked as she entered the kitchen and spotted her wife. Lena turned from wiping down a bench to look at Stef with a smile.
"Yeah all good. I put apple pie in the oven to cook. Should be ready by the time you all get done upstairs." Stef beamed. She really loved apple pie.
"Yum, thank you love." Stef said moving towards her wife and planting a kiss on her lips and wrapping her arms around Lenas waist.
"You're welcome honey." Lena replied pulling Stef into a passionate kiss. Glad to be alone only if it was for a minute because they couldn't leave the little girl upstairs alone for too long in the bath even if the water wasn't deep.
The two were interrupted by Stefs phone rining. Both women groaned as they pulled away from the kiss.
"Who would be calling at this time of night?" Lena asked with a raised eyebrow, it could only be work maybe.
"Officer Adams foster." Stef answered the phone, sighing out that the phone call had ruined her moment with her wife.
"Ill get her." Lena mouthed to Stef before heading upstairs. The phone call seemed important and Rylan was unsupervised upstairs, so Lena would have to go up.
"What happened to the bathroom?" Lena asked looking around the bathroom and then to the little girl sitting in the bath sheepishly. She wasn't really mad, just annoyed because now she had to clean up the bathroom and it would take twice as long with all the water all over the floor. It was like a mini swimming pool on the floor.
"A big susashi, sunati..." Rylan tried to get the word out. Lena smiling slightly at her stumbling over her words.
"Tsunami?" Lena added, trying to help the little girl with her tale.
"Yeah that, a bit Tsunami came out of the bath and destroyed everything in its path." Rylan explained, using her hands to demonstrate what had happened. Lena smirked and crossed her arms, giving the girl a raised eyebrow.
"Mhmmmm, you want me to believe that?" Rylan smiled sheepishly again. Thinking of the best way to answer that.
"Yes?" Ryaln responded in more of a question and Lena shook her head.
"Water stays in the bath Rylan." Lena stated as she grabbed a few towels from under the sink and placed them on the floor to try and soak up some of the water.
"You ruin my fun mama." Rylan sighed out as she sat crossed legged in the bath with her boat on her lap.
"Want to try again?" Lena asked with a raised eyebrow, the little girls attitude would come out every now and again and they were glad because it meant she was getting comfortable with them.
"Sorry mama." Rylan finally gave in, knowing that her mama would always win and there was no chance at winning with her.
"Good. Im not trying to ruin your fun baby girl, its just that im the one that has to clean up the water from the floor when the water should really be in the bath." Rylan looked sheepishly at the mess she had made. It didn't seem that bad until Lena had put the towels on the floor and now they were soaked.
"Im sorry." Rylan spoke. She really was after looking at the mess she had made and the mess her mama now had to clean.
"Its ok, just don't let it happen again." Lena said wiping up more of the water with more towels. She would be doing a load of towel washing tonight.
"Ok, I wont." Rylan nodded as she said this. She didn't want her mama to clean up water like this again.
Rylan continued to play with the boat in the small amount of water left in the bath as her mama cleaned the water from the floor.
"What if mommy puts water on the floor?" Rylan remembered that her mom also gets water on the floor when they do bath time.
Lena looked up from the wet towel to look at the little girl in the bath. She raised an eyebrow after noting how the little girl was actually serious.
"Then she will clean it up and then go sit in a time out." Rylan nodded accepting that answer. Stef sitting in time out would be hilarious but Lena was just joking about the time out bit.
"Alright, are you ready to hop out?" Rylan shook her head.
"Not yet mama, mommy still has to finish the routine." Rylan explained to Lena. Her and her mom had a set routine with bath time and she liked to stick to it.
"Oh does she now?" Rylan nodded fast to her mama as Lena smirked.
"Yep."
"Well I better go get her to come finish then." Rylan nodded.
"Yeah. Thanks Mama." Rylan beamed as Lena turned to go get Stef.
"No worries my baby." Lena said to the little girl.
"Mama, im not a baby remember." Rylan spoke as Lena got to the door making her turn around to look at the little blonde in the bath.
"I know but your my baby." Lena responded with a smile.
"Mamaaaaaaa." Rylan frowned. She was going to have to get use to it, it seems. Her moms both called her baby or baby girl. As much as she didn't like it, she was going to have to deal with it.
"Im going to get mom now." Lena chuckled and headed down stairs to get her wife. The little girl is just too adorable. Lena was glad that she was theirs, for now and hopefully forever.

"Alright, lets get this routine done and then into our jammies and then back into our fort." Stef announced as she entered the bathroom after her phone call and little convo about Rylans Tsunami incident. She had to smile though, Rylan had a very good imagination.
"Yeah. Then dessert?" Rylan beamed up at her mom. Hopefully she would get dessert. She wanted dessert. Stef laughed at the hopeful look in the little blondes eyes.
"Yes, then dessert." Stef agreed. The little girl smiling very brightly at the news of dessert and all that Stef could do was smile and shake her head in amusement.
