The Fosters
Lena let go of Callie's hands and turned to Dr. Hopper "What now?"
"Now, I am going to have mom still hold her" He said looking to Stef "Don't let go, I am going to get a culture of the wound" He indicated to the tray that the nurse had brought in. "I can give her a numbing shot, it's still going to hurt most likely." He said softly "I'll make it as quick as I can." He looked at Callie before clearing his throat. "I can't give her this one through the IV or I would it just won't numb what I need it too."
"No" Callie shook her head "No, I don't want more needles."
"Callie it's going to hurt" Dr. Hopper Explained "I don't want you to be in more pain."
"I don't care!" She said struggling against Stef jostling her IV causing her to wince.
"Shh love" Stef moved some of Callie's hair away from her ear kissed her temple before resting her lips on Callie's ear.
"No, I don't want it" Callie shrugged Stef off as her eyes met Lena's "I don't want it! Please Mama."
Lena opened her mouth to speak but Stef beat her to it. "Let's try with out it." She said softly
"Are you sure?" Dr. Hopper asked concern "It'll hurt"
"I don't care!" Callie said again "I don't want more needles"
Dr. Hopper nodded "Okay, if it becomes to much we'll stop and get you the shot. Okay?"
Callie nodded and leaned back against Stef while Dr. Hopper took Callie's arm into his while Lena took Callie's free hand and kissed her fingertips.
Dr. Hopper quickly took her arm and began to work quickly to get a sample of the wound to run for tests.
Callie inhaled sharply and whimpered as she grabbed onto Stef's arm.
Stef felt her eyes well up with tears for her daughter, there was nothing worse then seeing and hearing your child in pain and not being able to take the pain away. "I've got you. I've got you." She repeated over and over in her ear.
Lena watched in amazement as Callie handled the pain much better then she did the needles.
"All done" Dr. Hopper announced pulling away from Callie. "You did great princess" He assured her "I'll get a rush on this stat. You just let that IV do it's job and get a little rest while we wait."
Lena wiped away a few tears from Callie's cheeks and nodded to the doctor. "Thank you"
The doctor and the nurse left leaving the three alone. Stef situated better in the bed so she wasnt restraining Callie against her but letting the girl rest against her. It didn't take long for Callie's eyes close and her breathing to become a little softer while she rested her pointer finger on the bridge of her nose.
"Poor baby" Lena said softly "The past few days have been so hard on her."
Stef let out a sarcastic laugh "No kidding"
Lena glanced at the IV bag "Hopefully that's done soon and they let her go home. I want my babies home."
Stef glanced at the clock "There is a counseling appointment in just five hours now"
Lena sighed "Great"
"You and Mariana have to go" Stef said softly running her fingers through Callie's hair. "You have to take her. I'll stay home with Callie or here wherever that may be, but you have to take her. Mariana's only hanging on by a thread."
"They both are just hanging on by a thread" Lena mumbled "And some moments where I am right there with them."
"Oh baby" Stef said reaching or Lena's hand grasping it in hers. "It's okay" Lena shook her head and pulled her hand away from Stef quickly "I am fine. I am just fine. I will be even better when Callie is released and we are at home with our kids watching stupid cartoons on the couch while Jesus and Mariana fight over the remote controller."
She stood up "Speaking of fighting Jesus and Mariana I need to go check on our ER campers."
Stef's eyes were wide "Uh why don't we both go" She said trying to untangle herself from Callie not wanting Lena to be alone at the moment.
Callie's eyes flew open at the movement as she grabbed onto Stef's arm "Mom?" She mumbled "Can we go home now?"
"Soon sweetheart" Lena promised "I am going to check on your siblings, you rest with mom okay?"
Callie reached out and began to play with Stef's hair again trying to self soothe herself again.
"You were so brave" Stef said softly as she watched Lena walk away
"Is Lena okay?" Callie asked as she watched her go before shaking her head "Is my mama okay?"
"I like that" Stef whispered to Callie "Hearing you call mama that."
Callie's eyes got big "It's okay?"
"Oh yes baby" She said grabbing her tightly and holding her against her "Oh you don't know what a gift you've given her by calling her mama."
Callie rubbed her eyes "I want to go home" Her lip quivered
"I know sweets" Stef said softy "Hopefully soon. Why don't you close your eyes and get some sleep while the doctor runs your test. That will help you get home sooner."
"You won't leave me?" Callie asked
"No, I am going to stay right here" She promised "I want my mama back" Callie mumbled as her feverish sleep took over.
The Fosters The Fosters The Fosters
"No… No" Callie began to thrash around the bed "No.. I don't like this." Her eyes fly open and before either Stef or Lena could stop her Callie's hands flew to her IV and she had ripped it out before she started to scream.
"I'll get the doctor or a nurse" Stef said jumping from the bed while Lena grabbed a tissue to stop the blood on Callie's arm.
"Callie" Lena grasped the girl "Callie. Baby wake up. Callie!"
Callie's eyes flew open as her hand went to her chest. She looked around and let out a sigh when she realized she was safe "Mama?"
"It was just a bad dream" Lena assured her applying pressure.
"How long was I asleep?" She asked her eyes on her arm.
"An hour" Lena smiled "You needed some sleep."
Stef a nurse and the doctor all came into the room seconds later. Dr. Hopper smiled "Well your IV bag was almost empty so we aren't going to put it back in" He said as the nurse moved in to clean up Callie's arm and the dripping IV bag.
"I've also got some good news for you" He smiled "We got the source of the infection so I know how to treat it" He moved over and grabbed a thermometer and put a cover on it before placing it in her mouth and waited for it to beep. "Your fever has dropped down to a 101 normally I would keep someone until the fever was broken." He glanced to Lena who was standing by the bed rocking from foot to foot.
"However I think it's best for you today, if I release you to go home with your moms. I think you'll do better in your own bed"
He looked to Stef "Before we do that though, I do have to give her a shot of antibiotics. It's big dosage to kill the infection. I've also prescribed you more oral antibiotics, some anti nausea medicine."
He turned to Callie "The amount of antibiotics we are giving you could do some things to your body. So make sure you tell your moms if anything feels funny." He then turned to Lena "And mom if her fever goes past 102 I want her back here ASAP."
Lena nodded while Stef climbed on to the bed to hold Callie.
"This one needs to go in her upper thigh" He winced
Stef smiled and nodded "We've got it. Come on mama" She said to Lena as she shifted Callie in her arms so the doctor could get to her thigh.
"You've been doing so good" Lena crouched down so she could meet Callie's eyes "One more shot and then we are going home."
"Home" Callie said softly reaching out and wiping away a tear that was rolling down Lena's cheek. "I want to go home with you."
"You will" Lena promised "Just hold my hands" She offered while the doctor quickly gave her the shot.
"You did so good" Stef praised as she helped her sit up "I am so proud of you baby!"
Callie blushed while Dr. Hopper got the discharge papers and handed them to Stef "Take your family home. No offense but I really don't want to see you in here again. Follow those instructions and follow up with Callie's doctor in a day or two."
Stef nodded "Lena, want to get her dressed and take her home? While I go grab the others?"
Lena nodded knowing Stef was trying to give her and Callie some alone time.
"See you in a few minutes baby" Stef said kissing Callie's forehead
"Get Jude into bed. He's going to be so tired"
"Ah there's my Callie bug" Stef laughed as she gave her a quick kiss before leaving.
Lena grabbed Callie's sweats from the chair "I know the hospital gown is stylish, but why don't we leave those here"
Callie nodded "Lena" She shook her head "mom?"
"Yes sweetheart" Lena asked putting the clothes on the foot of the bed as she moved to stand in front of Callie.
"Can I?" She bit her lip
Lena reached out and brushed some sticky hair away from Callie's forehead noting that her and Stef needed to make sure she got a bath at some point soon. "What's going through that head of yours?"
Callie's eyes locked with Lena's before she shook her head "Nothing, I am just cold. Can I have my socks first?"
Lena tried her hardest to night sigh before she nodded and quickly helped the girl dress while they waited for the nurse to bring back a wheelchair. Lena reached up and grabbed the bear and placed it in Callie's arms "Don't forget your friend"
"Never" Callie said hugging it tightly to her. "I could never forget this" She said softly "It's one of my greatest treasures. No one has ever given me anything so special" She said softly as she buried her face in the bears fur sneaking a peak at Lena. "I love it. Lena.. Mom? Can I?"
"Alright who is ready to go home?" The nurse asked coming in with the wheel chair?"
Lena sighed at the distraction "My daughter is" She said softly "I am going to go get my car and meet you at the doors."
Callie looked scared for a moment until Lena grabbed her hand "I promise you, I am coming back" She made eye contact with her "Just like I told Mariana the other day. I am coming back for you. I promised her and I did."
Callie nodded "Hurry mama"
Lena nodded "See you in just a moment sweetheart" She said softly before leaving quickly to get the car so she wasn't separated from her daughter any longer than she had to be.
THE FOSTERS

"That's stupid"
"Not posed to say that! Bad word"
"It's not. Stupid Stupid Stupid"
"CALLIE" Colleen Jacob said sternly coming into the living room drying her hands on her jeans "I don't understand what has gotten into you today, but it is has to stop."
Callie glared at Jude and then glared at her mother but refused to say anything.
Colleen knelt down next to Callie and grabbed her hand in hers "I am sorry baby, I am sorry that daddy said you can't go to the slumber party tonight. I know you wanted to go. It's just an important dinner that we have to go to and Jude does better with you here."
"He'd be fine!" Callie argued "You could convince dad that I could go. He wouldn't even know if I wasn't here. He's gone all the time anyway. Why are you letting him make the rules this time! I did everything I was supposed! I did my chores! I've read to Jude. I fed the cat! I should go to the party! Everyone in my class is going!" Callie stamped her foot.
"I promise tomorrow you and I will go do something tomorrow. It'll be fun! A movie, shopping some ice cream. It'll be fun!" Colleen promised as she brushed some dark hair out of her daughter's face.
"No! Not as fun as my party! I'll be the only kid on Monday who won't have memories of this weekend!"
"Callie, your dad said no."
"I don't care!" Callie yelled "He's not the boss of you! It's just some dinner where he'll drink lots and sleep all day tomorrow! It's not that important! Not to where I can't go my party! Jude will be fine."
"Your dad said no" Colleen shook her head "That's final. Now come help me bake cookies lets make this afternoon fun until the sitter gets here."
"I don't want to make cookies with you" Callie said grabbing a book from the coffee table "Do it yourself"
"Oh Callie" Colleen knelt in front of her "I love you very much. I am sorry you are disappointed but please try to use your nice voice with me. I am not using a not nice voice with you."
"Your not being nice" Callie mumbled "My nice mommy would let me go to the party."
"Sorry baby, not this time" She said softly as she reached for Jude's hand "Lets go bake cookies, while Sissy takes some time to herself."
Jude moved to Callie "Love you."
Callie glared at him and pushed him away with her toe "Go bake cookies"
"Callie" His eyes big.
She sighed and blew him a kiss "Go on baby, I am not mad you. It's Dad and mommy who say I can't go."
"I try to be a big boy" Jude said looking at Colleen trying to help his sister out.
"You are a big boy" She said lifting him "So big, maybe next time. Tonight Daddy said he wants you guys together. Next time you can have the sitter all to yourself. I am sure you'd love that"
Callie rolled her eyes and turned her attention to her book.
"Are you really going to give me the silent treatment for the rest of the day?" Colleen asked tapping her daughter's shoulder "I'd love to bake cookies with my little lady."
Callie shrugged and kept her eyes down.
"Alright, silent treatment it is" She said softly "Love you little lady." She smiled "And hopefully before I leave tonight I hear your voice" She said softly "I already miss it."
Callie kept her eyes in her book and walked out of the room her bedroom door was heard shutting seconds later.
Colleen sighed and looked to Jude "Oh boy, let me tell you how excited I am about her teenage years."
Jude just laughed not really knowing what she was saying. "Cookies?"
"Cookies, baby cookies"
