Mariana POV
I was slumped down on the living room couch, surfing through the channels on the TV, when my phone, which was placed on the coffee table, buzzed. It was just a one small buzz, indicating I received a text message. Without thinking twice about it, I reached for my phone. A smile grew on my face when I saw the text was from Callie.
-They are torturing me! Neither Lena, nor Cooper have lectured me yet. I think they are waiting for Stef and Amy to come around...God, this waiting is killing me (I think it is part of their plan)
I screw up my face in confusion. Mostly because I have no idea what Callie was talking about. Why does Callie think mama and Cooper have to lecture her? What does Stef and Amy have to come around from? Mama did leave in a hurry today, she didn't say where she was going or when she will be back. According to Callie's text they are all together someplace, probably at Callie's home.
With that in mind, I concluded that Callie probably meant to send that text to someone else. Probably Mackenzie. But I got so curious, that I decided to play along just a little bit to find out in what trouble Callie has got herself into this time. As I was typing a text back, my phone buzzed again. I received another text from her. Curious what she wrote now, I delete the text I had typed up and open the new text.
-Seeing mom and Stef both high is super fun. They are so silly together. I might be seeing things, but it seemed as if Coop and Lena are actually happy to see them so carefree...it's so weird...
My eyes grew big as I read the text. I read it over and over again, to make sure I read it right. That I did not imagine that sentence. My mouth dropped in shock and I jumped up from the couch, when I realized I read it correctly.
"You will never believe what has happened!" I yelled as I run to the stairs to get to my siblings, who were all upstairs
Callie POV
"- and he said..." Mom was giggling fiercely, trying to finish the story about the Terminator movie
Stef sat with big eyes staring at her, waiting for her to finish the story "Aha...what did she say?"
Mom wipes a tear that had rolled down from all of the laughter and finally managed to finish the story "...he said –Hasta la Vista Baby"
That was when Stef and Amy burst out in laughter. Mom fell back to ground, rolling around the floor in laughter, holding her stomach. Stef was laughing so hard, that in the end, no sound came out, she was just clapping her hands at her leg, while trying to catch some air. Meanwhile Cooper, Lena and I were were laughing much softer, mostly just giggling at them being silly. Every single thing could cause them to burst out in laughter.
When I looked away from Stef and mom, to Cooper and Lena, I noticed a similarity between them. They both looked at their significant other with a look that was filled with nothing but love. Both of them seemed genuinely happy, that Stef and Amy were finally (just for few hours) free of all of their problems, worries and stress. Stef and Amy have forgotten about the shooting and they were finally relaxed and carefree. Laughter is what has been missing from both of their lives for the last few weeks. It was so nice to hear them both laugh, I had forgotten what it sounded like.
I believe that Cooper and Lena were silently thankful for what I did, because neither one of them could ever allow themselves to do what I did. Lena especially, because she is a VP and the school has strict policy against any kind of drugs. She is strictly against drugs, alcohol, violence, bullying and all of that stuff.
Now I was sure, they will leave the lecturing to my mom and Stef. Firstly, because I believe that Lena and Cooper think that I shouldn't get lectured for giving Stef and Amy few carefree hours. After all, no one is hurt or in any danger. Secondly, because they know Stef and Amy will want to lecture me themselves. Thirdly, because neither one of them technically is my parent, they have no 'jurisdiction' over me.
I looked down to my phone, as I keep on waiting for Mackenzie to answer my texts. Usually she answers in like 5 minutes, tops. But it has been over 15 minutes already and she hasn't texted me back yet.
I unlock my phone and go in the messages again, to make sure I sent the text. They are all sent. Exactly 18 minutes ago. As I look at the screen, the time for the text message changes to 19 minutes. My eyes move up the screen just a little bit. That is when I notice the error I have made.
I jump up to my feet "No, no, no, no, no...what have I done!" My free hand flies up to my forehead as my mouth parts in shock
"What's the matter honey?" Lena asks me first, Cooper looks to me with a concerned looked. Meanwhile, mom and Stef continue to laugh about the line from the movie Terminator. I strongly believe they have forgotten about our existence at the moment, while they were in their own little world.
"Oh, come on, spill it!" Cooper encouraged me, when I remained silent. He then tried to joke "It can't be worse than buying weed, can it?"
When I don't reply Lena coaxed "Please, just tell us what's wrong, honey. We won't get mad!"
I cleared my throat and very warily started "I may have texted Mariana that Stef and Amy are high. I mixed up Mariana's and Mackenzie's number…"
"Hasta La Vista Baby" Stef repeated what Amy said to her and that caused both of them to burst out in laughter, all over again.
"What time was that?" Lena asks when she walks up to me
"20 minutes ago" I hold up the phone so she could see herself
"So that gives us about 2 minutes till-" Lena started to say, but stopped when we all heard and saw how Brandon's car pull up to the house "...and everyone is here"
Few seconds later, there is a knock on the doors. I head over to let them in. A moment later every single one of Adams Foster kid is standing in the living room, staring at Stef and Amy, who were still trying to recuperate after their huge laughter explosion.
"I can honestly say, I never thought this day would happen. I never thought I would see mom high!" Jesus said first reaching for his phone to take a picture
"Hey! No photos!" Lena said marching over to them and lowering his phone down
Frankie was looking at her mom, confused as to what has gotten into her. She moved closer to Mariana's leg and pressed close to it, as she continued to watch her mom closely.
"My...abs...hurt" Stef got out, still giggling. She sat up with her back against the couch, hand over her abs "Does this count as workout?"
Mom sat up wiping her tears of joy away from her cheeks "It definitely does. I can't move" Mom's hand was over her abs as well "I can most certainly feel my abs. Wanna feel my abs?"
"Yeah!" Stef nodded back and reached to place her hand over Amy's abdomen "Is that a 4-pack?" Amy nodded back, when Stef poked her abs
"Feel my now!" Stef said and pulled Amy's hand over to her abdomen
"This is so freaking weird" Brandon muttered from the doorway as he was watching his mother
"Are you kidding me! This is the best thing that could ever happen!" Mariana exclaimed out excited "Look at her! She's happy! She's finally happy!"
"I never knew I wanted to see mom high. But this, just made my day!" Jude said watching his mom
"My babies!" Stef called out once she noticed that all of her kids are here. She jumped up to her feet and hurried to them "Oh, you are all here!" Stef pulled Mariana in a hug first. She placed many kisses all over her face, causing Mariana to giggle out.
When she crouched down to Frankie, Stef picked her up with her right hand and kissed her forehead three times. After she set Frankie back down, Stef moved to give kisses to everyone else in the line.
Once she was done with Jesus, who was last in line, she took a step back and grabbed his hand "You have to check out my abs. They are enormous. See!" She placed his hand on her abdomen and strained her abdomen muscles
"My are bigger" he said pulling up his shirt just a bit to show off
"Duuuude!" Mom called out and tried to get up to her feet as fast as possible. Cooper quickly helped her up. Mom limped over to Jesus and "You are like the Terminator! Can I touch it?" mom was now leaned down to Jesus abs height and poked his abs few times
"This got weird very fast" Jesus laughs as both Stef and mom are leaned down to have a better look at his abs
"Too hard" Stef poked his abs as well "Like rock...that's too hard"
"What are you talking about. They are perfect! I have perfect 6 pack!" Jesus argued back
Mom stood up straight and patted her hand over Jesus abs "No, dude...too hard. You need some fat on there as well."
"I don't want no fat" Jesus finally lowered his shirt down "Brandon has fat, I will stick to hard rock abs!"
Stef instantly pulled up Brandon's shirt. He protested at once, taking a step back and lowering his shirt back down "Heeey, what...are you doing mom?"
"Checking your fat! What do you think I was doing?" Stef said casually back reaching for his shirt one more time
"I—I don't have a fat!" Brandon evaded her hand
"Yeah you do" Jude said from his side and patted his little stomach
"Getting little chubby, aren't you?" mom teased him softly
"I'm not chubby!" Brandon crossed his arms on his chest and looked over to Lena "Tell them I'm not chubby, mama"
"You are getting a little bit chubby" Stef said with a serious tone in her voice "A marathon would be good for you! Look in what good shape Callie is!" Stef pointed back to me
"But can she compose a song? Don't think so!" Brandon smirked back at his mom
"We should sign him up for a marathon! I need a laptop!" An idea popped in Stef's head that moment and she started to implement it right away, right that second
"No! No…mom what are you doing!" Brandon tried to stop her as she started to look for a laptop to use
"You can use my!" Mom said back and pulled Stef by her hand, so she would follow her up
"No marathon!" Brandon called back desperate "Please, no marathon, mom! I'm not chubby!" He turned to Lena, like she was his last hope "I'm not chubby! And I don't want to run a marathon"
"Don't worry, sweetie! You are not chubby" Lena caressed his cheek softly "And they will forget about the marathon, when they will be halfway up the stairs"
"I don't think I like mom being high" he commented quietly looking down to floor
"I do!" Jude said excited "She's super fun!"
"Am I chubby, mama?" Frankie asked looking down to her stomach
"You are most definitely not chubby, baby" Lena kissed her cheek "In fact, no one is chubby!"
"Okay!" Mariana came over to me, grabbed my hand and pulled me down to the couch "Tell us everything. I want details! All of it!"
"Yeah, where did you get weed?" Jesus asks curiously slumping down on the other side of me
"It's a long story"
"We have time" Jude said sitting down in one of the armchairs
"Fine" I sighted and looked around the room to everyone else "It started when-" And so I started the whole story from the beginning
About hallway in the story, Lena stopped me "Do any of you hear that?" She asked, holding her index finger up, telling me to pause my story just for a bit
"Hear what?" Jude asked after he listened to the silence that came from upstairs "I don't hear anything"
"Exactly. It's too quiet!" Lena said standing up. A moment later she was out of the room. I jumped up and followed her up to go search for them. We found them in my mom's bedroom.
"How is that possible?" I ask looking inside mom's bedroom, where we saw Amy and Stef both asleep on the bed "They were wide awake like 5 minutes ago"
"Well, they did a lot of walking today, that must have taken a lot of energy from them. Also they are stuffed from all of the chicken nuggets they ate. Both are relaxed and feel safe, laying on a comfy bed in a warm home" Lena said in a hushed voice before she entered the room
"Do you think they signed B up for the marathon?" I ask when Lena reaches for the laptop that was between them on the bed
"No. But I have a hunch they ordered a pizza" Lena turned the laptop to me to show me the the opened pizza site. A phone was tossed to the end of the bed. I took the phone and checked the last made call.
"Yes, they ordered a pizza" I said when I compared the numbers. Lena sighted as she closed the laptop and placed it on the desk.
"Should we like..." I gesture to the bed "cover them with the blankets?" I wasn't sure if we can do that with one blanket, because even though they were lying almost head to head, their bodies were turned different way, hands and legs spread out wide.
"I think we will manage with one" Lena said and walked up to the bed
First of she placed the blanket at the end of the bed. Then she walked up to Stef and picked up her legs. After she got her legs up to the bed, she, as gently and careful as she could, turned her upper torso as well, placing her head on the pillow. I walked over to mom and did the same. She stirred a bit, mumbled something in sleep but didn't wake up. Lena covered both of them with a blanket and then we headed out, leaving the two of them to sleep this thing off.
When we got back to downstairs, the doorbell rang. Lena went to the doors. It was the pizza guy. I would have paid for it, but Lena managed to do it before I could.
"Who ordered pizza?" Brandon asked confused when Lena carried it in
"Stef and Amy did. But, they are asleep, so we get to eat it" Lena placed the pizza on the table and opened the box
"Wow!" Jude laughed "They ordered everything!"
The pizza had extra cheese, extra pickles. Well, it actually had extra everything the pizza can get on top. To me, it didn't really look like a pizza anymore. It just looked like a giant sandwich, covered in all of the possible ingredients.
"Too bad they didn't order drinks as well" Jesus said as he reached for the first slice. Everyone grabbed a slice before I continued on with my story.
AN: Dear readers, I am coming to your for help. Amy and Stef are going to be awake and back to their old self's next chapter...so I need your ideas for creative punishment for Callie! (I am not talking about grounding, electronics taken away, license taken away - been there done that = boring) I have one certain punishment in mind, which I think it is unusual, funny and the same time very appropriate. But I would love to hear your ideas, maybe your crazy, brilliant minds can come up with something even better than what I have come up with. If you have something on your mind that would satisfy my needs, don't be shy - write it up :)
