** A/N: Nothing but total absolute fluff. I had an excellent Thanksgiving and I hope you all did as well. I decided to give the angst a rest for at least this chapter and concentrate fully on nothing but fluff and Stef/Lena/Family love. Hope you all like it.

ALTERNATE ENDING 1, CHAPTER 15

Stef was usually the first to wake up. Since meeting Lena, her insomnia had disappeared but her body had gotten used to early starts and she loved the quiet moments of watching over her family before they headed off in different directions. She went to the bathroom and performed her morning routine. Since it was the weekend she could leave the showering for later.

She came out the bathroom and Lena was stirring. She leaned over her and gave her a kiss which Lena rewarded with one of her breathtaking smiles. Stef was so glad she could wake up to this everyday from now on. She was completely certain that Lena was her forever and couldn't wait to marry her.

She sat beside her on the bed careful not to disturb the kids. "I get to wake up to this everyday from now on." She shared her thoughts as she took Lena's hand and kissed it.

"I get to go to bed and wake up to this every day," Lena told her returning the favor.

Stef squeezed herself into bed beside Lena once again taking care not to wake the kids and the two of them spent some time making out before Lena pushed her away. "Pregnancy hormones. You're going to be nothing but trouble for me."

"I've already waited my whole life for you, I can wait a few more months." Stef lovingly traced the baby foot she could see stretching across Lena's abdomen. "They sure are active."

"Everyday more and more. I love it, I love it, I love it." Lena had that special pregnancy glow radiating off of her. "I never knew having your bladder pelted was something I'd look forward to."

Callie started to stir and Stef made a face before moving away, "It has begun," she said doing a really bad Bela Lugosi impression.

Stef went down and started coffee brewing. Then, she started a kettle for some tea for Lena. She had become familiar with the house but was still amazed that this was her life. She was leaving behind so many bad things to share in the serenity and beauty that was Lena's grace.

She didn't even recognize the person that she had been. This ghost of a woman who was doing what she believed everyone expected of her even if it wasn't what she wanted for herself and it did nothing but make her more miserable as days went by. She had walked into her marriage with her eyes wide shut thinking that the love Mike had for her was enough to cover the numbness that she felt inside but everyday she just died a little more.

Since meeting Lena, she realized she had a value and a worth to the people who loved her and seeing her happy brought them happiness as well. Brandon was doing better than ever. He loved Lena and Callie, his school, his music lessons. Her mom was pretty glad to have Lena to fuss over now that she was on bedrest.

The kettle went off and she fixed a cup of coffee for herself and a cup of tea for Lena. She heard her family moving about as she climbed the stairs. She ran her hand along the banister as she went upstairs. Her family. Her home. This is where she belonged.

As Stef walked in, she noticed Callie's eyes fluttering and she was beginning to move around. "Good morning Callie," Stef handed over the cup of tea to Lena who took it appreciatively.

Callie froze in confusion for a moment then, snuggled closer to her Mama. She started to rub her hands absently over the spot where the babies' hands and feet were stretching through. Callie smiled up at Lena with the most impish grin on her face and gave her belly a kiss.

Stef snapped a picture quickly and then showed it to Callie. "See, you're a good big sister already. And Brandon's going to be a good big brother. What do you think Mama should name the babies?" Stef lounged at the end of the bed with her head propped on one hand and the other massaging Lena's legs as she smiled over at her family.

"Mama says we have to wait until they get here so we can know if they fit them or not." Callie answered very seriously.

"Oh, of course." Stef nodded gravely. "That way they can help tell us who they are." Since Callie was being so receptive she figured she'd slip it into the conversation. "So, are you ready for your bath?"

Callie's eyes opened wide and she looked between the two women. "I'm going to take a shower with my Mama."

"Baby, you can't shower with me because I can't stay in the shower for a long time. We also talked about Mama not being able to pick you up or carry you until after the babies come. Would you like to take a shower with Stef?"

Callie sighed deeply. On the one hand, she was sure she couldn't stall any longer but, on the other hand, a shower was faster than a bath. "Yes, I will take a shower with Stef."

Stef grinned her victory. "Are you comfortable with that?" she asked Lena.

"Sure. You're both females. I trust you with my life. I trust you with my kids' lives. I trust you to be their Mother. I really do need to get in there first, though. Baths with Callie are not exactly relaxing." With that, Lena climbed out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

At this point, Brandon was starting to wake up. He woke up with a smile on his face and Callie reached over and gave him a kiss. "Good morning B," she said while hugging him.

Stef snapped more pics and smiled at her good fortune. Not only was she gaining a daughter, she was also going to have two baby boys. She had loved every minute of Brandon's baby stages and she was really excited about being a new parent again.

She put a menacing look on her face and slowly moved towards the kids with her hands curled. "I feel a tickle monster coming out." She grabbed them both and held them down as they begin to laugh and squirm. When they were going breathless she grabbed them both up to her and kissed them.

Lena came out of the bathroom and walked over smiling at her family. The kids had fallen asleep again and were flanking Stef who had a huge smile on her face. Lena leaned over and kissed each of them, then she laid beside Brandon and kissed Stef's hand. "This is the forever I always dreamed about."

"Not me." Stef said shaking her head. "This is way better than I ever could've imagined." The two women ended up falling asleep again with their arms wrapped around both of their babies and one another.
