Kaylie's POV
-8 Weeks Later-
Stef's father died a few weeks ago, Brandon moved in with Mike, Mariana was suspended because Kelsey told the school that Mariana was her dealer, I met some of Callie's friends from her old group home; they're pretty cool, and Stef and Lena are trying to have a baby with Timothy's sperm
"Can we talk to you outside for a minute, love?" Stef asks as I put my plate in the sink
"Yeah, sure." I say before following them out the back door
"What's up?" I ask
"Your birth father has refused to give up his parental rights." Stef tells me
"He's in prison. Why does it matter what he wants?" I ask
"Because he's not in prison. He got out of prison about eight years ago." Stef says as the tears form in my eyes and I sit down on the bench before the back door opens
"Mom! Jesus is eating all the pancakes!" Mariana shouts before Stef hurries inside and I sniffle
"What does this mean? Does this mean you can't adopt me?" I ask
"No, honey, that's not what it means. It just means it's gonna take a little longer." Lena says as she sits down beside me
"Hey, look at me." She says as I wipe my tears away before looking over at her
"You are meant to be my daughter, Kaylie. And I am meant to be your mother." She tells me
"And so is Stef. Okay? I know that we are meant to be a family." She adds as she wraps her arms around me and pulls me into her embrace
"So whatta we do now?" I ask
"Well, your birth father wants to see you. Is that something you want? I have an address and a phone number in there by the landline." She tells me
"We could set up a meeting?" She suggests as she releases me
"No. That's fine. I don't wanna see him. I should get to school, though." I say as I stand up from the bench and walk back in the house with Lena following me
I walk over to my backpack and I see the piece of paper with my birth father's address and phone number before secretively swiping it off the counter and shoving it into my pocket before grabbing my backpack from the floor
"Have a good day." Stef calls after us as we all walk out of the house
"I'm gonna go in late...can you guys cover for me?" I ask
"Where're you going?" Callie asks
"I have something that I gotta take care of." I say
"Yeah, we got you." Mariana says as we reach a city bus stop and the bus pulls up
"I'll see you guys later." I say before climbing onto the bus
*40 Minutes Later*
I walk up to the house before knocking on the door
The door swings open revealing a tall man
"Can I help you?" He asks
"Wow. You want me but you don't even recognize me." I say with a scoff
"Kaylie?" He asks
"Yeah, genius." I say before he steps aside
"Please, come in." He says before I step into his house and I follow him into the living room
