A/N: I hope I didn't went to fast with this chapter. Anyway, I will try to go back to the original idea. Last thing- thanks for all the comments, and all of the support I've been getting! you guys are so amazing!
"Well Lena, I will leave this explanation, I am going to go find his social worker" Stef whispered In Lena's ear
"Hey!" protested Jude "No secrets in front of company! you told us that mom"
"We're mom's, sometimes there are things that just doesn't matter to you guy" Stef explained as she walked to the kitchen
"Let's go sit in the living room" Lena walked behind the kids putting her hand on Mariana's back "We have some things to talk to you about"
"SOME things? I think you mean A thing" Mariana laughed
Lena sat the kids on the sofa and looked at all of them.
They were perfect.
They were her perfect little family.
Suddenly a smile spread all over her face
"Mom what's funny?" Jesus asked
"It's just that I have a perfect family and I am happy" She explained.
After a few minutes of silence Brandon finally asked "mom? Who is he?"
"Matthew is little boy, he is in the system, and he is from here, from San Diego, but we actually met him when we were about to leave the hospital."
"And? Why is he here?" Jesus said
"Because we brought him. Why peanut? Why does this bothers you?"
"He doesn't bother me. Except one thing, where will he sleep? I mean, I already have Jude in my, um, our room"
Lena didn't have an answer.
She didn't even think Matthew would sleep in their house, but then again, it was late and she felt sorry for the poor child
"He can sleep in my room" offered Brandon, seeing his mom didn't have an answer.
"Yeah, he can sleep in B's room, thank you honey" she kissed his forehead "Can you go get the air mattress from the garage and set the bed in your room? And Jude, can you bring him some really
small pants and a shirt? Something that would be comfortable like PJ's?"
Both Brandon and Jude went to do what they were asked to and Jesus, Mariana and Lena went to the kitchen to help Stef make dinner.
When they entered the kitchen Stef told Lena they had to talk, alone.
"What babe? what's wrong?" Lena asked
"I talked with his social worker. Matt has a heart condition, He was suppose to die until he was three, but he survived. The worker said the doctors don't know how is it possible, they say he can die at
any moment. The worker said this is probably why his last family was dropping him of. They just learned about the heart condition and didn't want to deal with it, said it was too much for them. He also
said, that this kid, he had such a difficult life, he didn't stayed in one place for more then 2 month, even when he was a baby, no one wants to attach to a dying child."
Lena stood there with her mouth open wide, tears running down her cheeks.
Stef took a step to Lena and hugged her.
"Do you think, do you think we can adopt him?" Lena said "He deserves a better life. You saw him Stef, you looked him in the eyes, he can be happy, lets give him the happiness every child deserves"
"I don't know Lena! I don't know!" Stef yelled, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath "I'm gonna drive somewhere. I just need to think" She got in the car and drove out without hearing a word from
Lena.
Lena stood there watching Stef's car driving off.
She looked back at her house.
She could see almost all the kids from the windows.
Jude was in his and Jesus's room next to the closet, trying to find his smallest cloth's to give to Matt.
Mariana and Jesus were at the kitchen.
She could't see Brandon, but she knew he was in his room making the bed for Matthew to sleep in.
Then she saw two shadows, one big and one small.
They were walking all around the house, pointing and turning on and off the lights.
She knew Callie was giving him a wonderful tour.
She looked at the house and she knew she had everything she had ever dreamt about.
She smiled to herself.
For one full minute she felt her life was perfect, but then the little shadow next to Callie fell.
