Previously:

"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, tellng 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.

Tuesday morning was in full swing. The Moms trying to get everyone fed and dressed before the arrival of Bill. Stef was upstairs getting her work uniform on after having cut up fruit and gotten all the things out for breakfast. Callie was upstairs getting dressed and finishing some homework and the boys were sitting at the table eating breakfast.

Lena was currently making sandwiches for lunches with Mariana when Rylan came into the kitchen.

"Mama, have you seen my black shoes?" The little girl asked as she stood in the kitchen, her hair in pigtail plaits ,which Stef had done earlier that morning, and was currently in a pair of jeans, black polo shirt with a white collar and the number 7 in white on the back. This was the little girls favourite type of clothes to wear, she was always wearing something similar, no pink.

Lena looked up from making sandwiches to look at Rylan with a raised eyebrow.

"No, if you put them where they are suppose to go, then they wouldn't be lost." Lena explained. Rylan nodded and sighed. She couldn't remember where she had put them after wearing them yesterday.

"I need them, I don't remember where I put them." Rylan said with a sigh as she turned to leave the kitchen, maybe they were at the front door?

"Did you check under your bed?" Mariana piped up from her spot next to Lena just as the girl turned to leave.

"No,...oh yeah, thanks Mari." Rylan said with a confused face before her eyes widened and she smiled, she high tailed it out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Lena and Mariana chuckling as she left.

"She needs to clean under her bed, everything she can't find is under there." Mariana said speaking her thoughts as she bagged a cheese sandwich for Rylan and putting it into her lunch box.

"Ill get her to clean under it tonight." Lena said as she shook her head with a smile, the little girl was full of surprises, of course she would have a mess under her bed. She was similar to a boy, she was their tom boy.

"Is it alright if the band practice in the garage this afternoon Mama?" Brandon asked as he looked up from his sheet music to Lena.

"I don't see why not, its not being used today." Lena agreed with a smile as Brandon smiled and nodded.

"Thanks Mama." He said before going back to his breakfast and sheet music. Seeing as his older brother was busy this afternoon and there wasn't any family thing scheduled, Jesus spoke up wanting to make plans of his own.

"Can I go to the skate park after school?" Jesus looked at Lena who nodded.

"Yes, but be home before dinner at 6 please."" Lena said with a raised eyebrow, giving him a pointed look. Jesus chuckled and nodded.

"As always." He responded shovelling a large bite of cereal into his mouth. Dinner was always at 6, it wasn't that hard to remember as his stomach usually told him the time.

Soon enough the little girls distinctive footsteps could be heard on the stairs as she came back down them and into the kitchen.

"Got them, thanks Mari." Rylan said pointing to her shoes on her feet and then carefully climbing onto a stool next to Brandon, using her brothers leg as a place to grab to get up.

"Welcome little sister." Mariana said as she placed the last sandwich into the lunch box and then took a seat at the table to eat her breakfast that consisted of a tub of yoghurt and some fruit.

"Toast and fruit for the little Miss." Lena said, placing the plate in front of the little girl. Rylan beamed up at her Mom and grabbed the piece of toast in her hands.

"Thanks Mama." Rylan thanked her Mama before taking a bite of her Peanut butter toast. Lena kissed the little girls temple before grabbing her cup of coffee and taking a sip.

"Morning Mama, What time was Bill coming again?" Callie said as she finally entered the kitchen and took a seat at the table, pouring herself some cereal and grabbing some fruit.

"8 ish. So breakfast needs to be eaten and cleaned up before he gets here." Lena told the kids, giving them a serious look, as she picked up her piece of toast and then took a bite.

"Ok. Can I go over to see Lexi today?" Mariana asked pleadingly, she was hoping her Moms had forgotten about the therapy appointment today. Lena swallowed her bite of toast before answering her daughter.

"Nope you have therapy at 4pm." Lena said as Mariana sighed, she had hoped they had forgotten but this was her Moms, they never really forgot anything. It was wishful thinking.

"Do I have to go?" Mariana whined out giving her Mama a puppy dog pout. She really didn't want to go. Lena gave the girl a sad smile. She knew how much all of the kids hated therapy, but she knew that it was in their best interest to go. She wouldn't be a good Mom if she didn't help her kids.

"Yes and there is no point in arguing, even Mom and I are going to therapy." Lena explained before getting back to eating her toast. The whole family were in the same boat, they all had to go to therapy.

"Oh, alright." Mariana sighed out, giving in. She was never going to win the argument ever. The sound of crunching and chewing could now be heard in the silent kitchen as Stef entered in her uniform and headed to the coffee pot. Lena cringing slightly at the sight of the gun on her wife's hip.

"Morning my Babies, So what's the low down for this afternoon my loves?" Stef asked as she held her coffee cup in her hands and leant back against the bench to look at her family. She may have said My loves but everyone knew Lena was going to answer their Mom.

"Ok, Brandon and the band are practising in the garage, Jesus is going to the skate park, I am taking Mariana to therapy and Callie has group and you have the two youngest." Lena explained as Stef nodded. Her eyes wide and she was smiling at the thought of spending time with her youngest two.

"Sweet, Mom time with my baby babies." Stef said as she walked over and placed kisses on the heads of her youngest two.

"Im not a baby Mom." Jude said complaining but he had a smile on his face. He was actually looking forward to having some time with his Mom and baby sister.

"Still you and Rylan are our youngest. So take the day to think about what you two want to do this afternoon?" Stef asked. Jude nodded as he stood up and put his dishes in the sink and then took his seat again to drink his juice, no doubt Bill would be here soon and he wanted to hear what the man said about his sister and this so called 'Uncle'.

Soon the sound of the doorbell ringing filled the air and Stef placed her coffee down and headed over to answer it.

"Hey Bill, come in." Stef greeted their visitor and closed the door behind him.

"Thanks Stef." Bill said smiling to the woman as he stood by the door and waited for Stef to close it.

"Would you like some coffee?" Stef asked as she walked towards the kitchen, Bill following her. They always had meeting in the kitchen so Bill knew to follow.

"Sure that would be great." Bill answered as he walked into the kitchen behind Stef. As they walked into the kitchen, Stef noticed that all the kids and Lena were sitting. The only free seat was where Rylan had been earlier.

"Take a seat, ill grab you a coffee." Stef gestured to the recently vacated seat. The little girl now sitting on Callies lap as the family waited for Bill to talk.

"Hey Bill." Lena greeted the man with a smile as Stef placed a cup of coffee in front of him after he had taken a seat. It was a rarity to sit down with the whole family, he usually only talked to the Moms and 1 or 2 of the kids at a time, seeing them all together was overwhelming, but he got over it quickly.

"Thanks Stef. Hey Lena, Kids." Bill said to everyone with a smile. The kids all mumbling out hellos and doing little nods as Bill opened his file of paperwork.

"So I am going to get straight to the point." Bill said, he knew the family was busy and the kids had to go to school and he too was also busy. No need for chit chat.

"That would be better thanks." Stef said gesturing for him to continue. She was glad Bill wasn't one of those social workers that liked to chat on and on and on before getting to the point. She would get so frustrated if he was.

"Ok, well at this stage Rylan will remain in your care." Bill started before looking at his notes.

"Her potential uncle?" Lena asked, she wanted, no she needed to know. It was killing her to know that an uncle might still be in play. Bill smiled at the woman after lifting his head up from his paperwork.

"That's just it, he isn't her uncle at all." Bill said, finally giving the family the news that they had been waiting for. He watched as Stef and Lena breathed out the breaths that they didn't know that they were holding and then two identical smiled appeared on their faces.

"You mean hes not going to be able to take her from us?" Jesus asked, he needed to know. This Potential Uncle could have ruined his family and he wanted to be sure.

"No he cant take her because he has no relation to Rylan at all." Both Moms were beaming with happiness, the whole room was coated in happiness, it was contagious. Bill had to smile before taking a sip of his coffee.

"Do you hear that Rylan? You are staying with us. No Uncle." Callie said energetically, her voice full of happiness and joy.

"Yay, yay, yay." Rylan cheered from her Eldest sisters lap. A big grin on her face. Lena and Stef embraced each other as tears of happiness fell softly from their eyes. They turned to face Bill with Stefs arm wrapped around Lenas waist.

"How did you figure it out?" Brandon asked the social worker that had placed all of his brothers and sisters with them. Bill was like a family match maker.

"Our computer guys worked on it for a while, there were so many inconsistencies and we checked everything and went through everything with a fine tooth comb. He definitely isn't her uncle." Brandon nodded in understanding. He wanted to be sure that there isn't any possibility that this man could be her uncle and they made a mistake.

"We were worried over nothing." Jude said letting out a sigh of relief, a smile on his face as well as he looked at his little sister.

"Thank you Bill." Rylan said holding her arms out to the man. Bill smiled and pulled the little girl into an embrace. He liked this part of his job, the part where he can make the kids happy and the parents to be happy.

"You are very welcome Rylan." Bill said releasing the girl from a hug and letting her go back to her eldest sisters embrace.

"I hope this has made things easier?" Bill asked, Stef and Lena nodded with smiles.

"It has made everything less stressful." Lena explained and Bill nodded in understanding as he closed his folder, finished the last of the coffee in the cup and then stood from the table.

"Im glad, I wish I could have known earlier but I guess it has all worked out in the end." Bill explained, the women nodding in understanding. He really was a great social worker.

"That it has." Stef said nodding

"Alright, ill let you guys get too it. Goodbye." Bill said as he moved towards the front door. Stef following behind to let him out.

"Bye Bill." Stef waved before closing the door and heading back into the kitchen just in time for the kids to head to school.

"Alright kids get your bags, lunches on the bench, we need to head to school." Lena said looking at the time. If they didn't leave now they would be extremely late. One of the perks of being a principal was that she could excuse her kids for being late because of this special meeting.

"Bye Mom." The kids said as they left the house after kissing their Mom goodbye and headed to their Mamas Car.

"Bye Babies." Stef said to the kids as they left the house and then Stef turned to Lena and planted a kiss on her lips before she too left to drive the kids and herself to the school.

Stef watched Lena and the kids leave for school in Lenas car from the front door. All 6 kids and her wife. She hoped she would get to see 6 kids and her wife everyday forever. She smiled and closed the door behind her to go finish getting ready. She hoped today was going to be a good day after the amazing news this morning. She could hope.

The atmosphere in the car was full of happiness and joy. Lena was on cloud 9 after hearing that the Uncle was a fake. A tone of weight had been taken off of her shoulders and it was one less thing that she needed to stress over.

The 7 of them pulled up into the reserved Principal parking and Lena turned the car off and turned in her seat to look at the kids in the car.

"Alright, have a good day. Meet you all back here after school. Hurry though, I have to drop you all off because of Marianas therapist at 4." Lena explained to the smiling kids, glad to see the news has made them happy.

"Ok Mama. We got it." Jesus said as he opened the car door and slid out with his brothers and sisters following, leaving Rylan in the car with their Mama.

"Ok good. Love you." Lean said as she too got out of the car and closed her door. The older kids heading off to their classrooms while Rylan stood next to the car and waited for her Mama to lock the car up.

"Alright little miss, lets go get you too class." Lena said turning to the little girl and grabbed Rylans hand that was outstretched.

"Yeah, I want to see Hannah and Chris." The little girl jumping on her toes in happiness. Lena chuckled as she put her handbag on her shoulder and looked at the little girl who was beaming up at her.

"Ok, lets get a move on then." Lena chuckled out as the two of them headed into the school and over to Rylans classroom. The day should be much less stressful now with one less thing to worry about.

Xxxxxxx

Lena walked to the car after school, her paperwork under her arm, keys in hand and handbag over her shoulder. She had messaged Callie to get Rylan from class because she was running a little bit behind. Her day consisted of a ton of paperwork that kept her extremely busy and she still had a lot more to go, the perks of being a principal.

Seeing all the kids at the car was a relief, they were able to get home quicker and make it on time for Marianas therapy appointment. She felt bad for being late but there wasn't much she could do about it, except bring the rest of her paperwork home.

"Hey Kids, everyone good to go?" Lena asked as she unlocked the car.

"Yep, 8 hours of being here is enough." Jesus said getting in the car with the others following.

"Ok, lets go, everyone buckled up?" Lena asked placing her handbag and paperwork in the boot.

"No, Rylans refusing." Callie called from her seat next to Rylan. Lena sighed and closed the boot.

"Ok I am coming." Lena said as she moved to the little girls side of the car and went to help buckle her in.

Lena reached for the buckles and the little girl pushed her hands away. Lena was shocked but recovered, she reached for the buckles again. Rylan pushed her hands away, Lena became frustrated. They were already slightly behind schedule and Rylans tantrum right now wasn't going to help.

"Rylan, we need to buckle up so we can go home." Lena said with a frustrated sigh. It had been a long day and the day wasn't even over yet.

"I don't want to be in this seat any more." Rylan sniffled out. Lena gave the little girl a sad smile.

"Why not sweetheart?" Lena asked, the little girl needed to use her words.

"I don't like it." Rylan said softly.

"I know honey, just for another year." Lena said as she buckled the little girl up after Rylan had stopped pushing her hands away.

"I wish I was bigger." Rylan mumbled softly, Lena heard her though.

"I am sorry sweetie, I wish I could help you." Lena ran a hand through the little girls hair as Rylan pouted.

"I don't like being little." Lena nodded and Callie reached over to grab Rylans hand. Rylan squeezed it and the two of them kept their hands linked.

"We were all little once kid." Jesus said from the front seat. Rylan nodded and sighed. Lena kissed the little girls head and closed the door before getting into the car and buckling up. She turned in her seat slightly to look at the kids.

"Everyone buckled in now?" Lena asked. Getting nods from everyone, Lena turned the car on.

"Ok, lets get out of here." Lena put the car in reverse and headed out of the car park and onto the road to head home.

Lena drove in the direction towards home. Every so often she would glance in the rear mirror at the kids, they were all chatting away except Rylan, she was pouting. Lena wondered why the little girl was acting like this. She could understand not wanting to be in the seat but she had been in the seat multiple times and only now was she complaining. She would have to talk to Stef later.

The car pulled up onto the driveway, Lena put the car in park and turned to the kids to talk to them.

"Ok, tell Mom that ill pick something up for dinner on my way home, do your homework please. See you later." Lena told the kids. They all nodded.

"Ok bye Mama." Callie said, releasing her hold on Rylans hand as she got out of the car.

Callie, Jesus and Brandon piled out of the car while Mariana got into the front seat and Jude unbuckled Rylan, which was seeming to be a bit harder then it should. Lena turning to see what the problem was.

"NO!, I can do it." Rylan yelled as she hit Judes hands away from the seatbelt.

"Rylan we don't hit." Lena scolded the little girl. Rylan sniffling and wiping at her eyes with her left hand and her right stayed on the seatbelt so Jude couldn't open it.

"But I can do it." Rylan whined to her Mama.

"Apologise to your brother now please." Rylan sighed and looked up at her brother. Jude knew she didn't mean it but she did need to apologise, she had to learn the rules.

"Sorry Jude." Rylan said to Jude, moving her hand from the seatbelt so that Jude could open it.

"Its ok. Lets go inside, Mama has to go." Rylan slid out of the seat and out of the car behind Jude.

Lena watched her two youngest children head inside, making sure they were inside with their eldest siblings before she turned to the teen next to her.

"Just you and me, Miss thing, lets hit the road." Lena smiled looking at the teen in the seat next to her.

"Yay." Mariana sarcastically cheered. Lena gave the girl a sad smile before pulling out of the driveway and heading down the street towards the therapist office.
