Kaylie's POV

"Hey, I wanted you to know I spoke with Bill, and Sarah has been removed from the Olmstead's. And I've got a friend at the DA's office that I'm talking to about Liam. I will let you know what happens,
but just wanted you to know." Stef says lowly to me

"Okay." I say

"Okay." She says before I walk over and sit down at the end of the table by Brandon and Jude

"Oh, Jesus... I made that from scratch with really good cheese." Lena says as Jesus squirts ketchup on his food

"It's great." Jesus says as he squirts more ketchup on it

"It's a lost cause, babe. Somebody pass me the tabasco?" Stef asks

"Oh." Lena says

"I'm kidding. Kidding." Stef says with a light chuckle

"I like this." Callie says as she points to Brandon's laptop that's playing some classical music

"I gotta play this tomorrow for the grim reaper." Brandon says

"Grim reaper?" I ask

"His music teacher." Callie tells me

"He scares the crap out of me." Brandon says

"Hey, miss thing. You know the rule no phones at the table." Stef says to Mariana

"Brandon has his computer down here." Mariana says

"I'm studying." Brandon tells her

"Yeah, right. Me, too." Mariana says before she shows her phone to Jesus and they both laugh

"Before I take that away, what's so funny?" Stef asks them

"Just this thing that Lexi sent me. You wouldn't get it." Mariana tells her

"Did she just call me old?" Stef asks

"Yep." Lena says

"Phone, now. Please." Stef says before Mariana hands her her phone

"Lexi must be excited, she gets to come back to school tomorrow." Lena says

"Wait, her parents are letting her come back?" Callie asks

"That's cool." Callie says

"They don't have much of a choice. Unless they want a visit from immigration." Jesus says

"I don't think blackmailing your parents is anything to be proud of. No matter how mad she is at them." Lena says

"They deserved it. I mean, what was Lexi supposed to do? Let them send her off to that convent?" Mariana asks as I take a bite of my salad

"It's a girls' school." Stef corrects her

"Same difference." Mariana says

"Well, I just hope they put this all behind them. They're a family. In the end, that's all that matters." Lena says as she carries her plate to the sink

"Alright, who's going to want dessert? We actually made apple tarts. If I see ketchup, you're going to die." Stef tells Jesus before she carries her plate over to the sink

"Don't forget dinner with Gretchen tomorrow night." Lena tells Stef

"Yes." Stef says

"You'll finally meet her." Lena says

"We're going to leave money for you guys so you can order pizza." She adds

"The fabled ex is in town." Stef says before I hear a phone ring and we all check our cells
