The fun day at the park had ended and with everyone enjoying their ice cream and relaxing at home together watching a movie with blankets huddled up. Once the night had come and everyone was ready for bed, Callie went down to the kitchen to get a glass of water and found Lena and Stef sitting there talking about the fun they had that day.

"Oh hey sweets. Need anything?" Lena asked.

"I'm okay, I'm just getting a glass of water… Also, I just wanted to say thanks so much for today. Jude seemed to really enjoy himself and he really appreciates it." she responded as she finished filling up her glass with water.

Stef and Lena smiled and looked at each other. "Oh, 'Jude' appreciates it, huh?" Stef asked as she pulled Callie into her side.

"It looks like you seemed to really have fun today too. I mean, you were only the most enthusiastic one on the swings" Lena smirked, causing Callie to chuckle.

"Yes, I appreciated it too. It's been so long since Jude and I have had a chance to play like we used to. I felt like a kid again, with no care in the world" Callie admitted. Stef rubbed her back and nodded her head.

"Well that's so great to hear. We felt young again too seeing you all play on the playground so freely with wide smiles on your face". They all nodded and smiled at the memories of that day.

"Well thanks again. I'm gonna head to bed now" Callie stated as she moved to hug her moms.

"Night mama"

"Goodnight my love" Stef replied kissing Callie on the temple.

"Night mom"

"Goodnight Cals. Sweet dreams" Lena answered also kissing Callie on the forehead.

Callie grabbed her glass of water and headed up the stairs where Mariana was pulling the covers up. She smiled at Callie as she entered.

"What a day, huh?" Mariana asked as Callie got a sip of water and climbed into bed.

"Yeah, it was pretty fun" Callie replied.

"I still think it would've been better if we went shopping too"

"Whatever, go to sleep!" Callie commented as she threw a pillow in Mariana's direction, soon to have it thrown back at her.

The girls laughed and turned off the lights. They both fell asleep easily, as did the whole house. Dreams soon followed, and Callie's tonight was a peculiar one.

"Are you sure I can have two scoops of ice cream?" Callie asked looking up to Stef and Lena, who seemed much taller to her. After a glance around the room, she realized that she was much shorter than she was, similar to when she was around 10 years old.

"Sure you can sweetie! Today is a special day after all" Stef answered. Callie laughed as she looked over to see a younger Jude piling his favorite toppings on his ice cream. The 4 of them sat down at a table near the shop window and enjoyed their ice cream.

"Slow down Callie, or you'll get a brain freeze!" Lena explained. Suddenly the dream jumped to the 4 getting out of the car going into their house (that didn't really look like the home Callie knew which usually happened in all her dreams). Callie was racing her brother up to the door of the house, and Callie's coat pocket suddenly got caught on the porch beam. She was suddenly stuck and suspended by the roof over the porch.

"Mom! Mama! Help me!" Stef and Lena looked up at Callie hanging on the edge of the roof by her jacket pocket.

"Hold on Callie, we got you!" Stef yelled. Callie then fell from the roof and landed with her upper body in Lena's arms, and her lower body in Stef's.

"You caught me" Callie said as she caught her breath.

"Yes of course we did. We wouldn't let you fall" Lena stated.

"Mama's right love. Remember that we'll always be there for you. Whenever you need us" Stef added with a smile.

They put Callie down and started to head inside when something caught the corner of Callie's eye. With Stef and Lena ahead of her, Callie turned around to see someone very familiar standing in the yard: her birthmother Colleen.

"M…Mom?" Callie whispered confused. Stef and Lena were inside and it was just Callie and her birthmother outside. Collen walks up onto the porch where Callie is.

"How could you do this to me Callie? How could you forget about me?" she asks.

"I… I didn't, I couldn't forget you" Callie defended.

"Why didn't you call me when you needed me? You were about to fall off the roof, and you chose them over me?" Collen asked in both a hurt and upset tone.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…" Callie replied with tears forming in her eyes.

"Why did you abandon me Callie? What happened to us? You used to need me for everything!" Colleen began to shout. "What about your mother Callie! I gave birth to you and I raised you! I taught you so many things and you so easily forget about me?!"

Callie stood there crying as her knees began to feel weak. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry…"

"SORRY DOESN'T CUT IT CALLIE! YOU COULDN'T EVEN SAY GOODBYE TO ME!"

Callie woke up startled, sweating, and slightly out of breath. The words her birthmother screamed at her continued to ring around in her head. She did feel like she abandoned her for needing Stef and Lena for things in life, and for depending on them and trusting them. "I used to be stronger and not let anyone in but Jude" she thought to herself. She looked over to make sure Mariana was still asleep before grabbing her glass of water and taking a few sips. She set the glass down and sighed, feeling disappointed in herself for letting her birthmother down. Callie decided things needed to change…

That's it for this chapter! I hope you enjoy! Reviews are always appreciated and welcomed. I wonder how Callie will react when she gets up in the morning? Stay tuned to find out.
