"Why are we staying home from school?" Jude questioned. Lena just smiled at him, "You'll see."
"Please tell me what's going on. I hate this not knowing while you do your evil mother smile thing." Taylor whined causing both her moms to laugh.
Lena smiled and look to Stef. Stef who finally gave in sighed, "All right everyone in the living room, sit."
The kids sitting in new spots laughed as everyone tried to find a seat. Jesus and Mariana both took the edges of the couch as Taylor and Jude slid in making the two oldest siblings sit on the floor. After some protest from both Brandon and Callie, they both gave in. Callie looked to Stef and Lena, "Did we do something wrong?" She asked worriedly.
Lena looked to her wife, "Should we tell them yet?"
Stef made a face and shook her head no, "We should just leave them sitting like this, waiting." With that there was a knock on the caused all the kids to jump.
Lena smiled, "There's Bill."
Callie and Jude both looked at each other but slowly smiling. "Why's Bill here?" Jude questioned.
Lena walked back into the room with Bill shuffling papers and rambling on, "This one here is Jude's, this is Callie's and this one's for Taylor. After this they're all yours. Oh hi kids." Bill stopped noticing everyone sitting in the living room.
Taylor beamed, "No freakin' way!"
Jude was smiling bouncing in his seat while Callie just sat there frozen, a smile on her face and a single tear rolling down her face.
Stef smiled seeing her three children's reactions, "We wanted you guys to be here today when we finalized your adoptions." She explained.
Standing around the table staring down the backs of Stef and Lena the six kids were all pressed together. "Ready?" Stef whispered to her wife. Lena nodded and pushed the papers to Bill who took them and concluded that everything was in place. "Welcome home babies." Stef said smiling wrapping her kids in a hug.
Slowly the kids all went back to their rooms. Callie sitting in her room with Mariana and Taylor started to cry. "What if I screw this up?" She whispered. Mariana and Taylor both got up and sat on Callie's bed with her, "You won't, we're a family now, moms aren't going to get rid of you." Mariana assured her. "I wouldn't let them I need a few sisters to drag shopping." Mariana laughed as she said it.
Jude was sitting in his room with Jesus and Brandon, "I like it." Jude whispered. Brandon looked confused, "Like what Jude?" Jude smiled, "Jude Foster, Callie Foster. I like the way it sounds." Jesus laughed, "So do we."
"I thought you said you didn't want to become the brady bunch." Lena teased her wife. Stef sighed, "I couldn't let any of those three go, I love them all so much." Lena nodded in agreement, "I do to." Stef laughed, "Besides we're not the brady bunch, we're the Fosters."
