For 5 days Lena and Stef had been meeting with Bill and talking about the adoption. On Friday the only thing left to do was sign a final piece of paper confirming the adoption of Callie and Jude. Stef and Lena trekked upstairs to talk to their children one by one.

Stef opened Brandon's door. "Hey, can we talk for a second?"

"Yea sure, I just finished my piece. What is it?"

Lena sat down at his desk and spun the chair to face him. "We were thinking of adopting Callie and Jude. Would that be okay with you?"

"Of course! You can never have too many brothers and sisters; just the hot water is limited…"

Stef chuckled "So we have your approval? It would be best if you let us know now."

Brandon nodded his head yes. He was surprised that they were adopting them after such a short amount of time. He didn't mind too much, but he would have to keep himself away from Callie at least until they are both in college.

"Okay honey, we are going to go talk to your brother and sister about this." Lena exited the room following Stef.

After all three kids agreed on their decision to adopt Jude and Callie, Lena and Stef began making a special dinner. They were so excited to add these children into their family, and Bill was happy they finally found a permanent home.

Stef just hoped that Brandon and Callie will realize that after Callie is adopted they can certainly not do any more of this flirting Stef had noticed. That must be some sort of incest, she thought to herself.

"Kids, dinner is ready!" Lena yelled from downstairs. Callie had noticed everyone was acting all giddy today and she didn't like one bit of it. She knew this was exactly what would happen when they found out about Liam. She trudged downstairs next to Marianna and sat next to Jude, who was already there.

"Pizza baked spaghetti, my favorite!" Brandon said as the dinner table came into his sight. He could not help but notice how good Callie looked. She was wearing a grey shirt, denim jacket, dark skinny jeans, and her leather boots. He liked how she had a tomboy edgy look to her.

During the dinner they all made small talk about their days at school and news that had shown on TV until Lena finally spoke up. "Callie, Jude, we have an announcement to make. We have already talked to Brandon and the Twins about this and we were just wondering if you would like to live in this home permanently."

A huge smile shot across Jude's face "You're going to adopt us?" This was the only foster home he really liked and he was so excited to stay here. He felt comfortable around Stef and Lena and he never wanted to leave this house, but now he didn't have to.

"Only if you want us to, we only have one last paper for us to sign." Stef was happy about how happy Jude looked. She loved these kids so much and she could not imagine them ever leaving this foster home. Across the table she saw a slight tear in Callie's eye.

"Yes, thank you so much. I know I would love to live here, how about you Jude?" Callie said ecstatically. Nobody had ever wanted her or Jude and she never thought the day would come when she heard these words. Jude nodded yes and wrapped his petite arms around Callie.

Lena could not have been any happier. She had her family, her whole family, here and nothing could change that. "How about we all go out for ice cream?"

"Sure, mom" Jude said. He could get used to this, he thought.
