The second Lena and the kids came in the house Lena took her wife and the two went into their room.
"How is she?" Lena asked quietly, not wanting the other kids to hear
"She will be fine. I'm just afraid she'll wake up with a headache because I think she's dehydrated. I tried to make her drink but she fell asleep holding the glass"
"Did it happen again?" Lena sat down on the bed
"No. She fell asleep not later then five minutes after you left." Stef sat down next to Lena and rubbed her arm.
She saw how hard this was for Lena.
"Good" Lena smiled
"So, how was the restaurant? What leftovers do me and Callie get?"
"Well, we have A LOT of pizza downstairs" Lena laughed
"And it's really good"
They both got out of the bedroom and went down to the kitchen.
They found Matt, Jesus and Brandon in the living room playing Mario carts.
"Where are Mariana and Jude?" Lena asked, looking around.
"They both went outside to bring something I think" Brandon answered
"Thanks B" Lena took a plate from the cabinet and handed it to Stef, who was eating a pizza slice with pepperoni above the box.
"Thank you love" Stef took the plate.
Lena got closer and closer to Stef, until she was close enough to talk without the kids noticing
"Do you think Jude know something about what's going on with Callie? Do you think she'll mind if we tell him?" Stef said before Lena could speak
"I thought the same about Mariana. They ARE sharing a room and something, maybe like this, happened last night. So maybe she…"
"Hey guys" Stef interrupted Lena, making sure she doesn't speak when the kids hear.
"Hey mom" Jude said "Me and Mariana are just going up to my room" He said looking at Mariana
"Yeah. We're going to try a new shade of blue as nail polish" She answered
"Callie's asleep so be quite" Lena said before they went upstairs
"Do you think we should go and talk to them?" Stef whispered
"What if none of them know? or if one of them doesn't know and the other does?" Lena sat down next to her wife
"So you think we shouldn't talk to them?"
"I think we should first talk to Callie. I think that if she would talk to us, we might not need to talk to them. And if we do still need to talk to the others, we might know if Jude or Mariana already know."
"You are so smart sometimes" Stef Kissed her wife, then she got up and started to do the dishes.
*The Fosters*
"Jude, I think we need to tell moms" Mariana said when the both sat down on his bed.
"But not now. Now Callie's sick, it would just annoy her"
"Come on Jude" Mariana placed her hand on his shoulder "You know she's not really sick"
"I do" Jude looked down
"So?" Mariana opened the blue nail polish
"OK. We can tell someone. But I have two terms- first- let me talk to Callie before we do it" He waited to make sure she understood "And second- We can't tell moms. But we can tell Brandon and Jesus"
"But what would they be able to do? I think we should tell moms. They always know what to do" Mariana tried to convince him
"No Mariana. we can't tell moms. And I think Brandon and Jesus could help us figure what's the next step"
"Fine. So we will BOTH talk to Callie, letting her know that we're telling the others, and then we would tell them."
"Both of us? Cant it be just me?" Jude asked with his best try of puppy eyes
"Jude, I invented the puppy eyes." Mariana laughed "And no. It has to be the both of us because if you would go alone she would convince you to not tell anyone"
"You're probably right" He smiled sadly.
"What do you think?" Mariana lifted her hand, showing Jude the nail polish
"I like it. Thanks" He said.
They both went out of his and Jesus's room and went inside Callie's and Mariana's room to put the nail polish back in the right place.
"Hey Calls" Mariana said when she noticed Callie was awake
"How are you?" Jude sat on his sister's bed
"I'm better. But my head hurts" Callie said, sitting up, taking the glass of water Stef put there before and drinking in small sips
"Good" Jude said looking at his other sister
"Should we talk to her now?" he mouthed to her
"No not now, after she will eat something" Mariana mouthed back
"Hey kiddos" Stef said entering the room
"how are you bug?" Lena entered right after Stef, holding a plate with pizza on it
"I'm fine" Callie answered
"Her head hurts" Jude said to lena who sat on Callie's bed switching with him
"Jude, Mariana, can you give us some alone time with Callie?" Stef asked
"Oh no you don't need some alone time with me in fine" Callie protested, not wanting to talk about what happened
"Its not for you to decided bug. Me and mama need some alone time with you, so, we will get that alone time" Stef told Callie while Mariana and Jude left the room
"Do you remember what happened before you fell asleep?" Lena started
"Yeah" Callie said taking a bite from her pizza "Stef tried to make me drink a full mug of water" She said in her usual sarcasm
"Yeah she defiantly feels better" Lena looked at Stef and laughed
"No seriously now, do you remember what caused you to break down like that?" Stef took Callie's chair from next to her table and put it next to the bed
Callie shock her head up and down before she started to talk
"I don't know why it happened, but I remember what happened. One minute I was getting dressed, then one of you said you were waiting in the car and I heard that there was no one inside, and then I started to breath really really fast and cry and" She stopped and lifted her head and looked at her mom "And then Lena came and you came a few minutes after"
Lena and Stef looked at each other, they thought she would be much tougher and pretend like nothing happened, but she talked to them, they guessed she knew how important and serious the situation was.
"Did this thing ever happened before?" Lena asked quietly after a minute of silence
"I'm tired, can I go back to sleep?" Callie asked giving Lena the plate
"Sure" Lena said and got up, not before kissing Callie's forehead
"Drink" Stef said pointing at the mug, who was still about half full, smiling.
"We love you" Lena added before they left the room
"Stef, Lena, I think I need to talk to you" Matthew was waiting for them in the hallway
"Honey can this wait? Me and mom need to talk alone" Lena answered the little boy
"Oh, yeah sure" Matthew said
Stef messed his hair, the two moms promised they'll talk later and then they went in to their room and Matthew went down stairs.
"Do you think we should go in there now?" Jude was pacing in his room
"Can't we just tell moms and be over with this?" Mariana asked Jude
"No! Callie would HATE us if we would do such thing"
"If you do what thing?" Brandon walked in the room
Jude looked at his sister and she looked at him
"If we…." Jude tried to make an excuse "If we use her tooth past for something"
"Why would you need her tooth paste?" Brandon asked
"Why are you in my and Jesus's room?" Jude avoided the question
"Brandon" Mariana said, looking at him, only now he and Jude realized she had tears in her eyes
"What's wrong Mariana?" He quickly switched to big brother mode and sat by her side on Jude's bed putting his arm around her half hugging her
"There's something me and Jude need to tell you because we don't know what to do" She wiped her tears
"No please don't tell him" Jude bagged, sitting next to her, trying again those puppy eyes that only worked when Mariana did them, which made him look silly and made her laugh
"Just tell me Jude, I can help I promise" Brandon tried to understand what was going on
"You can't tell anyone" Jude said, this time Jude almost closed his eyes, leaving just a little gap open trying to look tough, which also didn't work and got both Brandon and Mariana to giggle
"I won't, I promise" Brandon smiled
*The Fosters*
"Hey Jesus" Matthew said, when he spotted Jesus in the family room playing video games
"Hey kid" Jesus answered, still focusing on the game
"You are like my new big brother right?" Matthew sat down next to Jesus
"Ummm… I guess I am" Jesus paused the game and looked at Matt "Do you need anything?"
"I have a few questions, and I need to tell you something" Matt said seriously enough to make Jesus put down the remote
"What's up kid?" Jesus asked
"It's about Callie"
"What about her?"
"I think she is having panic attacks" Matt said to Jesus's empty face
"And?" he was still trying to understand what Matt was asking
"She wouldn't tell your mothers"
"So you are asking who should you tell?" Jesus finally understood
"Yeah"
"I'll talk to Brandon, he usually knows what to do and he and Callie are really close. Could you not talk about this with either Mariana or Jude? I don't want to make them worry and if either of them knew they would be really scared for her" Jesus said after thinking for a while
"Thank you" Matt hugged his big brother when he heard Lena calling him telling him he should go brush his teeth and go to bed.
*The fosters*
"Are you awake?" Brandon asked quietly while entering the dark room
"Yeah" Callie answered
"Good" Brandon turned the lights on
"Hey" he said
"Hey" she answered
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm good"
"Good"
"Why is this so awkward?" Callie asked after a moment of silence
"I don't know… It seems like there are whispers all around the house"
"About what?" She wondered
"I think they are about you" he sat on her bed
"Why do you think they are about me?" Callie took a big zip from her cup
"Jude and Mariana are closed in his room, moms keep whispering in their room, and I even saw Jesus and Matthew whispering in the living room. So it's either you or me, and I'm not the sick one" Brandon placed his hand on his sister's forehead "And by how you feel it doesn't look like you're sick either" He added confused
"Brandon? I have something to tell you" She took his hand that was still on her forehead and pushed it away gently
He looked at her eyes, she looked at his and she knew he was worried
"It's nothing serious don't worry"
"So? What is it?"
"MOMS! YOU NEED TO COME RIGHT NOW! SOMETHING HAPPENED TO MATT" Jesus yelled from downstairs
Their eyes meet again, then Brandon helped his sister get out of bed and ran downstairs.
