"Well thats great that I got a tan, not everyone can be all naturally tanned and hot like you." Stef whispered seductively as she finally took the last step in front of her wife and reached her right hand to cup a soft cheek.
"Sweet talker." Lena breathed out as the two of them stared into each others eyes.
"You love me." Stef whispered inching her lips closer to her wifes.
"I do, a lot." Lena responded and closed the distance between their lips to capture Stefs with her own. A moan coming from Stefs lips made her smile into the kiss.
God she loved this woman.

Brandon was in his room doing piano stuff, Mariana was in the girls room on the phone to Lexie and Callie was outside strumming away on her guitar.
Jesus, Rylan and Jude were in the boys room. Rylan and Jude were doing some drawing on the floor, Rylan in a colouring book while Jude did a project for school.
"Rylan go ask Moms what we are having for dinner." Jesus said turning from his laptop to look at his sister on the floor. His stomach having rumbled got him thinking of food. He loved having a little sister, a very little sister to annoy and get him things.
"You do it!" Rylan said glaring up at him from her spot on the floor.
"Im busy." Jesus said gesturing to the laptop and the maths books around his desk. Rylan sighed and frowned.
"Finnnnnnneeee." Rylan finally gave in, grumbling as she stood from the floor, sending Jesus a glare.
Rylan headed out of her brothers room and down towards her Moms bedroom, the door was slightly ajar. She could hear talking so she knew they were in there, she went to push the door open when she stopped as she heard her name being mentioned.
…..he can't take Rylan." Rylan heard Lena say her name and she listened carefully.
"We wont have a choice Lena. If he is her uncle we probably wont stand a chance. The courts prefer to give children to biological family members." Rylan heard Stef say. Rylan bit her lip, she wasn't liking what she was hearing.
"We have to fight for her." She heard Lena say.
"I know Lena, I know."
"We just have to wait to hear fr..." Stef said but Rylan didn't want to hear any more. Wiping the tears away, she turned around quietly and headed back to her brothers room.
"What did moms say?" Jesus asked as she walking into the room. Rylans mind far away.
"Huh?" Rylan asked she looked at her brother, her mind still reeling from what she had heard.
"What are they doing for dinner? Jesus asked again, looking at his sister with a pointed look.
"They are talking. You go find out." Rylan said with a hard and annoyed tone of voice. The last thing on her mind right now was food.
"Alright, alright." Jesus said as he stood from his seat at the computer to leave the room to find out what he wanted to know. Rylan watched him go before turning to Jude who was still laying on the floor with his work.
Seeing that Jude was busy with a homework project, she didn't want to bother him, Rylan headed to her own room, Seeing that Mariana was no longer in the room and Callie was outside with her guitar, Rylan was able to curl up on her bed and silently cry.
"Rylan?" Rylan heard her name, she had no idea how long she had been on her bed crying and she didn't care. She had so much on her mind and the main thing was that she may not get to stay with the people she loved and that hurt her a lot more then the beatings she had received in other homes.
"Rylan?" Hearing her name and a hand on her back, Rylan rolled over. Her eyes blurry and sore from crying but she could make out the figure sitting on the bed beside her.
"Callie?" Rylan sobbed out, sitting up and flinging herself into her sisters arms. Callie immediately hugged the girl to her, stroking the girls back and rocking her.
"Hey, whats up? Why all the tears?" Callie asked the sobbing little girl. It was unusual to see the little girl crying, everything had been ok, she wondered why she was crying like this now.
"I don't want to go." Rylan finally sobbed out after a few minutes, it was pretty hard to understand what Rylan was saying as she was a sobbing mess. Callie frowned but continued to rub the girls back.
"What, Rylan? I can't understand you. You need to stop crying and calm down." Callie said as she continued to rock and rub the little girls bed, hopefully the little girl would calm down enough so that Callie could get a straight answer from her.
"Good girl, deep breaths for me." Callie said as she felt the little girl start to calm down.
"I don't want to go." Rylan said, her sobbing had stopped and was now just small hiccups.
"Go where?" Callie asked, she was confused but she was determined to get to the bottom of this.
"Uncle." That one word made Callie froze before quickly going back to rocking and rubbing the girls back. She didn't want to frighten her. Callie now understood why the little girl was a sobbing mess. This was what the Moms wanted to avoid and she wondered how the little girl found out about it.
"Where did you hear that?" Callie asked.
"Moms were talking about me going to live with my uncle." Callie sighed as she heard this, the little girl had probably gone to talk to the Moms or wanted comfort and instead heard something she wasn't suppose to hear.
"Oh, I see. Come on." Callie said scooting off the bed till she was standing pulling the little girl up to stand aswell. Rylan frowned a little scared of what Callie was going to do.
"Where are we going?" Rylan asked a little timidly. Callie smiled and kissed the little girls hand that was in her own.
"We are going to get this sorted out." Callie said moving out of the room with the little girls hand in her own. The two of them heading over to their Moms room.

After their talk about Rylan, her possible uncle and everything else, the two women lay on their backs on their bed, too tired to do anything else. Jesus had come in to ask what they were having for dinner, they had said they don't know, he had sighed and left.
"I am too tired to cook." Lena said, thinking of Jesus's question from before.
"Pizza for dinner?" Stef asked turning her head to look at her wife. Lena turned her head so that they were both facing each other and nodded.
"Pizza." Lena said agreeing with a sigh.
"Moms?"
"Come in Cal." Lena called as she sat up and crossed her legs as Stef rolled onto her side leaning on her elbow as she looked at the door.
Callie poked her head in and then she walked in fully. Rylan walking behind her sister clutching onto Callies shirt and her face buried in Callies back. Both women looked at each other in concern before looking back to their two girls.
"Whats up babies?" Stef asked concerned as she sat up from her laying position to give her daughters her full attention.
"We have a slight problem." Callie said stroking a hand through Rylans hair, she could feel the little girls tears soaking through her shirt from where Rylans head was buried into her back.
"Oh?" Stef was a little confused, as was Lena. What could possibly make their youngest cry at the moment. Seeing that her mothers had no idea of why the little girl was upset, Callie filled them in.
"I think someone over heard a little conversation that you two were having in here earlier." Callie said briefly. Lena and Stef looked at each other, their eyes went wide as they realised what conversation the little girl had probably heard.
Stef got off the bed and walked over to where Callie was standing with Rylan.
"Rylan sweets?" Stef said crouching down and placed her hand on the little girls back.
"I don't want to go." Rylan cried out, clinging to Callies shirt tighter. Stef looked at the little girl with sadness. She knew they should have told Rylan earlier, but they had their reasons and now they have to deal with the consequences.
"Come here baby." Stef said as Callie stepped to the side and used her hands to manoeuvre the little girl into her Moms arms. Rylan struggled a little but eventually she clung on tight to her Mom. Stef rocked the little girl in her arms to try and calm her down.
"Ill let you explain to her, I'm going to go start my project for science. " Callie said once her Moms had her sister. She would give them privacy since she wasn't really needed.
"Ok sweetheart, thank you." Lena smiled and watched as Callie closed the door behind herself. Stef continued to rock the little girl until she was calm, Lena watching from the bed. Once Rylan has calmed down enough, Stef took a seat on the bed and placed Rylan between them.
Rylan clasped onto her Mamas hand and used her little fingers to twist her Mamas rings on her finger. It was a soothing action and it made her feel more calm. Both Moms watched as she self soothed and then Stef began.
"Ok Baby girl, Mama and I should do some explaining hmm." Stef said and Rylan slowly nodded, not looking up from her Mamas hand.
"Mom and I, we don't want you to go. We should have told you this earlier but we didn't know the facts yet." Rylan looked up slowly at her Mamas face and then her Moms. She could tell that they weren't lying. Rylan knew that her Moms did things the way they do because they love her and want to keep her safe, Ryaln knew that and she trusted them. It just hurt to over hear them talking and not been told herself.
"There is a man claiming to be your Uncle. Bill and his team are checking him out. We didn't want to worry you until it was for certain." Stef said carefully with how she was wording her sentence so Rylan could understand. The Moms heard Rylan sigh before she looked at her Mom and then her Mama.
"I still don't want to go. I want to stay with you forever." Although Rylans voice was low, both Moms heard it and they gave each other a sad smiled. Lena pulled the little girl into her lap and placed a kiss to Rylans head. Rylan sighed as she relaxed her back into her Mamas chest and looked up at her Mom.
"We want that too. We will try too keep you baby. We will do everything we can." Lena explained to the girl as Stef nodded her head with a smile to the little girl. Rylan smiled, she love that these women loved her, she loved having these two as her Moms. She was a lucky girl.
"Will I get a choice?" Rylan hesitantly asked.
"If he is your uncle and he wants to adopt you. They do take your opinion into consideration." Lena explained before kissing Rylans head again and hugging the girl tighter. Rylan sighed. Both Moms knew this was something hard that she had to deal with and they let her think it over. They could see her thinking hard.
"Its only ifs at the moment baby, no need to worry just yet." Stef added in to help the little girl. There was no use to worry just yet, there wasn't even confirmation that the man was even her uncle.
"Im sorry we didn't tell you sooner." Lena whispered to the little girl. Rylan nodded, she understood everything, she just hoped she could stay here forever, this was her home.
"I love you." Rylan finally spoke after a few minutes of silence.
"We love you too baby." Stef said as the three of them joined together in a Mama sandwich, Rylan giggling between them. Both Moms began to tickle the little girl earning them more of that sweet sweet noise of her giggling.
The three of them fell back on the bed so that they were laying down with the little girl between them. They were breathing hard and fast, all trying to get their breaths back and breathing normally after their tickle attack.
"Im hungry." Rylan said as soon as she got her breathing under control. Both Moms chuckled and turned on their sides to look at the little girl between them.
"Of course, you and your brothers will eat us out of house and home." Stef said chuckling, placing her hand on the little girls small belly. Some days the Moms wondered where she put the food. There wasn't much to her but she could eat her own body weight in food.
Not getting an answer Rylan sat up and looked at her Mom with a raised eyebrow. Stef chuckled.
"Ok, ok we are having pizza." Stef told the girl. Instantly Rylans eyes lit up and she stood up, bounced on the bed and then took off out of the room.
"Yay Pizzzzaaa, Pizzaaaaa, Pizzaaaaa" The moms could hear the little girl as she ran through the house.
"No running in the house Rylan." Stef called out to the girl. Even though the little girl was happy she still had to follow rules.
"Definitely your kid." Lena said shaking her head as she got off the bed, swatted Stef on the bottom then headed out of the room and down the stairs to call for pizza.

With Lena heading downstairs, Stef decided to boot her phone up. As soon as her phone powered on she noticed two missed calls from Bill. Stef panicked, she hoped it wasn't anything too serious.
Taking a deep breath Stef hit Call on his number.
"Hey Bill, its Stef, sorry I just turned my phone on. Whats up?" Stef said into the phone once Bill had answered. She was biting her lip just incase this was a bad phone call, she had her fingeres crossed.
"I was just calling to say that ill be over tomorrow morning to give you an update on the potential uncle and to check up on Rylan." Stef let out a breath that she didn't realise she had been holding, this was good right, just an update and he said potential Uncle so that was good, maybe. Stef was still unsure. Maybe he didn't want to give them the bad news over the phone?
"Oh ok, sure. What time tomorrow?" Stef asked as she stood from the bed and walked over to the window to look out. Stef heard pages turning on Bills end and she waited.
"8am alright with you?" Bill finally said. Stef nodded before speaking.
"Yeah thats not a probem, we will be home. Kids will head off to school after you have been." Stef responded, hopefully it was good news otherwise she wasn't going to send her kids to school upset.
"Ok, sure. Ill see you tomorrow morning. Bye Stef." Bill said.
"Bye Bill, thanks." Stef hung up as did Bill. Stef liked how Bill was not much of a talker, it worried her that he wasn't saying something, she could hear it in his voice. She would just have to wait for tomorrow.
"Hey honey, Whats up?" Lena said coming into the room, seeing her wife over by the window looking at her phone. Stef turned from the window to look at her wife.
"Bill is coming over tomorrow morning about 8 to talk." Stef told Lena. Lena bit her lip and looked at Stef with a raised eyebrow. She was hoping it was good news, she couldn't get a read on her wife so it could be either way.
"Its nothing bad is it?" Lena asked walking to her wife slowly. Stef shook her head before explaining to her wife.
"No just an update and to check Rylan. Im sure everything will be fine." Stef said, she was mainly talking herself into everything being alright but she was still doubting it, nothing has ever been easy for them, for their kids.
"I hope so." Lena said finally taking the last step to her wife and wraping her arms around her wifes slender waist. Stef smiled and wrapped her arms around Lenas neck and rested her forehead against Lenas.
"Are we telling kids that Bill will be here tomorrow morning?" Lena asked, she just wanted to know, if not then they would have to make the kids go to school early and they both knew the kids would groan at that. Stef pulled her head back to look into her wifes eyes, her fingers lightly running through the loose hair that had fallen out of the hair tie at the back of her wifes neck.
"We can if you want, they will be here when he arrives." Stef said letting Lena have the choice. Both know what each others answer would be anyway.
"I don't want Rylan to be surprised by his visit, after the conversation this afternoon with her, I think it would do more harm then good to not tell her." Lena explained, the last thing they need is an upset and frieghtened little girl on their hands.
"Yeah I agree, telling the kids it is." Stef sealed it with a quick kiss before Stefs stomach rumbled. They pulled away and chuckled.
"Well pizza will be here very soon." Lena said as she headed back towards the bedroom door.
"Ok ill be down in a minute." Stef said heading over to place her phone on charge.
"No hurry babe." Lena said poking her head back into the room as Stef headed towards the bathroom.
"Ill hurry, there is food coming." Lena shook her head and laughed as she walked out of the bedroom and back down stairs. Her wife, their youngest daughter and their boys definetly loved their food.
