"Baby I'm gonna go and bring you some tea and the thermometer and some tylenol ok?" Stef said, stroking Callie's hair
Callie didn't know how to answer.
She wasn't really sick, so she wasn't really warm, and she really didn't had a headache like she told Stef.
But Stef took her silence as 'yes' and said "I'll be right back"
When Stef came back she had tea, thermometer and tylenol like she said, but she also had something like seven movies, the machine that make steams, a bell, a few books and three more blankets.
"You didn't need to…" Callie started to protest
"Oh baby girl its the first time you're sick in here! In here we take good care of our sick babies!" Stef kissed Callie's hand.
She tucked Callie in the other blankets and turned the steam maker on.
"I brought some movies and books I though you would like so you could rest in bed and read and watch movies all day"
Stef placed the book next to Callie's bed and the movies on Callie's laps.
She the took the thermometer and placed it in Callie's mouth, and in that exact moment they heard Matt's little foot steps walking in the kitchen.
Stef looked at Callie, then at the door, the back at Callie.
She didn't know if she should go downstair or stay up with her sick child
"You can go and come back" Callie said.
It took Stef a few moment to understand what Callie just said because the thermometer was in her mouth but when she did she stood up, kissed Callie between the eyes and went out the room "I'll be
right back" She whispered.
When Callie heard Stef finally going down the last step she took the thermometer out of her mouth and placed it in the hot tea.
Then an annoying fly came and sat on her nose.
She tried to move it and forgot to look at the thermometer and make sure it wouldn't go to high.
When she finally make him fly away she heard Stef going on the steps so she immediately push the thermometer in her mouth without looking at how high was it.
"Baby you are really hot! If your temperature wouldn't go down in the next hour we would go to the doctor ok?"
"How hot am I?" Callie asked, understanding her mistake
"101.5" Stef kissed Callie's forehead "You must be feeling terrible"
"No. Really. I don't feel that bad at all" Callie didn't want to lie to her moms and make them worry.
"Baby you need to tell us when ever you feel bad, like last night. You should have woke us up"
"I know" Callie looked down.
She couldn't look at Stef anymore.
She really didn't like lying to her moms.
"You should go to sleep baby. When you wake up just ring the bell" Stef gave Callie the Tylenol, kissed her and went out of the room, turning off the light.
*The fosters*
"Is Callie ok?" Matt asked Stef as she went down the stairs
"Yeah, just sick" Stef said smiling.
Her smile relaxed Matt in a way he couldn't explain.
"I think Lena is bringing you some cloths, so you could change out of this giant PJ" She laughed
"So, where do I go next?" He asked looking at the floor
"What do you mean?" Stef was very confused
"I mean, when does Michel comes to take me to another foster family?"
"He doesn't." Stef smiled again
"What do you mean? He wouldn't come get me? Why? did he quit on me?" Matts eyes got bigger and had some tears in them
"No no! You got it wrong! Me and Lena! We were going to ask you today if you would like to stay with us for a while" Stef was sitting on her knees so they would be at the same eye level
She saw how his eyes filled with tears that started to go down his cheeks
"Do you like me to stay?" He asked in surprised
"Yes Matthew. We would love you to stay in our house" Lena said as she walked in the kitchen. she was standing next to the door for a few seconds before and could hear the conversation.
Matt ran to her and hugged her, Lena bent down and hugged him back and Stef came and joined.
*The fosters*
"Have you seen Jesus?" Mariana asked Emma, Jesus's girlfriend
"Jesus is in the gym. He made a bat with someone that he could run faster then him or something" Emma answered "The loser has to let the winner tweet from his account"
"Thanks. Do you by any chance know where my other brothers are?"
"I think I saw Jude with Connor next to the science labs, and I think Brandon is in the music room, and I haven't seen Callie today"
"She didn't came today. She… She didn't sleep well last night" Mariana didn't want to say what really happened, she knew Callie would not like that.
"Good luck finding your brothers" Emma said when Mariana turned around and started to run to the science lab area.
Jude was the closest brother and he knew Callie and would know what's wrong with her.
When Mariana got there she didn't see Jude or Connor.
She looked at all of the tables next to the science labs but couldn't find them.
Then she saw one of Jude's classmates, Oliver.
"Hey Oliver?" She was guessing his name
"Hey, you'r Jude's sister right?"
"Yeah Mariana… I was just wondering if you know where Jude or Connor are? I've been looking for Jude and I cant find them"
"Yeah they went inside of one of the labs, I think it's the one at the end of this hall" Oliver pointed down
"Thanks" She yelled when she started to run down the hall. When Mariana finally reached the last lab she saw her brother and Connor.
They were sitting on the floor and she couldn't see what they were doing and she didn't had really enough time to look.
"Jude?" She knocked on the door
Jude didn't think people knew they were there and he got really scared.
He was sitting with his face looking at cannot, the door behind him.
When Connor saw Jude's eyes open up he laughed at him
"Relax its just your sister" He touched Jude's shoulder
"Jude can I have a word with you?" She asked going inside the room.
Mariana saw Jude and Connor were sitting on a blanket.
They had juice boxes and sandwiches.
"I didn't mean to interrupt, but Jude I really need to talk to you. It's about Callie" She added when she saw he was hesitating
"I will be right back, I need to bring my history book for next class" Connor said when he realized Mariana was signing him to go so that se could talk to Jude alone.
"What about Callie? Why did she stay home today? Is she sick?" Jude questioned her
"I don't… I don't think so." Mariana was hesitating
"Then what's up? why are you here and not with your friends having lunch?" Jude was kind of annoyed Mariana interrupted his lunch with Connor
"It's just, that Callie asked me not to tell, and I felt like I need to tell someone, but I am not sure anymore" Mariana looked at the floor
"Callie tells e everything. She wouldn't mind me knowing something"
"Last night, I woke up and she was yelling and kicking in her sleep. She had a nightmare, so I woke her up and then she said she didn't remember what was it about. Then she went to take a shower
and I offered her to stay awake until she falls asleep but she said I should just go to sleep. I think she was having a really hard time falling back to sleep after the shower because she was so tired today that moms decided she should stay home. Jude, I think something is up with her, and she wouldn't tell me what is it"
"Who else did you tell?" Jude didn't look too surprised
"No one. Not even moms. She asked me not to"
"Good. I know what to do. Just leave her alone and I will take care of this"
"Jude you should let other people help you you know. I care about her as much as you do. She's my only sister"
"Yeah I know but something like this has happened before."
"Really? When?"
"It was when…"
Connor went in the room with his history book in his hands
"…We should continue with later. Just leave her alone and I'll take care of it"
"So I shouldn't tell the others?"
"NO! don't say anything to anyone"
"Sometimes Jude, you sound just like Callie." Marian said disappointed as she left.
Connor sat down next to Jude and they continued like this never happened
