Thanks so much for the reviews and follows! Keep them coming! :) Chapter two, coming your way.

Lena walked into the master bedroom just as Stef was finishing her conversation. She sat on their shared bed and waited for the blonde to hit 'END' on her cell phone.

"What did the detective say?" Lena asked.

Stef sighed, "Christopher Jacob died of alcohol poisoning. He was on probation; he got out a year ago for good behavior. They are releasing the body to Christopher's mother who is alive and well in Avondale."

Lena furrowed her eyebrows, "You mean Callie and Jude's grandmother?"

"Well she clearly didn't care about them enough to take them in instead of have them placed in the system," Stef muttered bitterly. "Detective Carlson said he would forward any burial information to me. It's up to Callie and Jude if they would like to go or not; I don't want to force them."

Lena ran a hand down Stef's arm before grasping her partner's hand, "How did Callie seem? When you found her?"

"She said she was glad he was dead and was worried that made her a bad person," Stef answered, "I told her she wasn't but she seems so…distant."

Lena pressed a kiss to Stef's cheek, "We'll reach her."

Jesus swaggered into the living room and spared a glance at Callie and Brandon who were asleep on the couch. With a shrug to himself, he plopped down between the sleeping teens, kicked his feet onto the coffee table and flipped on the T.V.

Callie opened one eye to see what the weight was that was pushing on her side and rolled her eyes when she saw who it was.

"Jesus?" she croaked.

"Yeah?" he answered in a distracted voice as he channel-surfed.

"What are you doing?"

He glanced at Callie before looking back at the television screen, "Watching T.V. Sorry about your dad. What happened?"

Callie shifted into a sitting position, "Alcohol poisoning."

"Oh," Jesus replied, "Well that sucks."

Callie chuckled at his bluntness, "Yeah, it sucks." She nudged Brandon with her foot to wake him up as Mariana and Jude walked into the living room, both changed into more comfortable clothes. Jude squeezed himself between Callie and Jesus while Mariana sat in between her twin and Brandon.

"So, what do you do when you play hooky?" Jude asked as he settled in to the couch.

"This." Jesus replied, eyes never leaving the T.V.

Mariana rolled her eyes, "Usually something more fun, but this works. We could watch a movie?"

Brandon stood up and stretched before heading to the shelf filled with DVD's. "Any requests?"

"Something funny!" Jude answered, eager to rid himself of the morning's events.

"The Proposal!" Mariana offered, hands clasped together.

Jesus rolled his eyes, "No way! You've seen it like fifty thousand times and it's not even funny!"

"Is too!"

"Okay," Brandon interjected, "Well now it's up to Jude if you guys are gonna fight over it."

Jude's eyes lit up and he looked at Callie who nodded at him before running over to the movie selection. Brandon headed towards the kitchen, "Callie, can you help me get some food?" She nodded and followed him into the kitchen.

Brandon opened a cabinet and started taking out cookies and packets of popcorns. He tossed the popcorn to Callie who immediately put it into the microwave. She was watching the numbers tick down, off in her own world, when she was startled by an apple being placed in front of her.

"Eat this."

Callie's eyes narrowed, "You're not my mother and I said I wasn't hungry."

"You need to eat something, Callie." Brandon replied, refusing to back down, "You're going to get sick. You won't be able to do much…or look after Jude." Brandon knew he was hitting below the belt, using Jude as bait, but he was desperate.

Callie scowled before taking a bite out of the apple, not bothering to chew with her mouth closed. Brandon chuckled, "How attractive."

"I try."

The microwave beeped, signaling the popcorn was done. Brandon handed Callie a bowl to pour the buttery snack into. When they were all set, they carried the food into the living room and placed it on the coffee table. Jude had settled on The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie. Callie rolled her eyes before taking a seat on the couch, wrapping her arms around her baby brother. Mariana joined them while Brandon chose a recliner. Jesus across the floor on his stomach propped up by some pillows.

"I don't see how this is better than The Proposal…"

"SHHH!"

Lena and Stef walked into quite a scene when they came downstairs. The kids were strewn about the living room, completely absorbed by the movie. Stef's eyebrow shot up.

"It's a talking sponge."

"It's an American fundamental." Jesus replied without missing a beat while shoving popcorn into his mouth. Callie wiggled her way off the couch and headed towards the women.

"So…did you speak to Detective Carlson?"

Stef motioned for the teen to follow her into the kitchen. Stef and Lena sat next to each other while Callie took a seat across from them.

"Phoenix P.D. is releasing your father's body to his mother," Stef answered, "They are going to notify us about any arrangements."

Callie tilted her head, "My father's mother? My grandmother? I thought she was dead."

"Why did you think that?" Lena asked, equally confused.

"Because that's what my dad told me."

Stef shook her head, "I can assure you she is alive. She lives close to Phoenix in Avondale."

Callie looked down at the table, "Why didn't she…?" she mumbled softly, eyebrows scrunching together.

"Why didn't she what, baby?" Lena asked, although she had a good idea where this line of questioning was headed.

Callie shook her head and shot up out of her seat, "Nothing. I'm gonna go watch the movie." She left the kitchen without a backwards glance.

Lena sighed and looked at her partner, "I guess I'll just ask it, then: why didn't Callie's grandmother take in her and Jude? They were so young."

"I don't know, Baby." Stef replied, "I wish I did though." She glanced at the watch on her wrist, "Well, I called in for a personal day at work and you and the kids are playing hooky so how about we work more on those adoption papers? It would be nice to get them done, especially after this whole Jacob family fiasco."

Lena stood up and pecked Stef on the lips, "Good idea, I'll go get the documents."

"I'm cold." Jesus said from his spot on the floor. "Someone throw me a blanket."

"Jude and I have the only one," Callie answered, "Sorry."

Jesus stood up, "I'm gonna go grab some from upstairs."

"I'll help!" Mariana said as she pushed herself off of the couch. Jesus gave his sister a look, she wasn't usually one to help, least of all him. He shrugged and headed upstairs to the linen closet with his twin close behind. He rummaged around and pulled out some blankets as Mariana stood to the side and watched.

"I thought you were going to help."

"If Ana died, would you be sad?"

Jesus looked stopped what he was doing and looked at his sister. Seeing she was dead serious, he took lead her into his room. He sat at his computer desk, "She kinda fucked us over, Mariana."

"I know," she answered, rolling her eyes, "But she gave birth to us. Doesn't that mean something to you?"

Jesus shrugged, picking up a pen from his desk and twirling it between his hands, "I guess. I'm still pretty pissed at her."

Mariana tucked some hair behind her ear, "Yeah, me too." She shrugged, "I was just wondering. We should probably get those blankets." She started to head out but Jesus stopped her.

"Mariana? Te amo."

She smiled, "Te amo también."

I'm in an AP Spanish Literature class which doesn't mean jack shit because I hardcore googled the correct way to say "I love you" in Spanish.

Sorry this chapter is kind've short, the real drama is coming up in a couple of chapters at the funeral. That's when it goes down. Review review review!
