Facing Adversity

Facing Adversity part three

Stef walked along the beach deep in thought. She knows that Lena's probably worried sick, Stef had no intentions of going anywhere. She just needed to time to process everything
That has been bugging her. Frank's death, her mother reaching out after ten years. Throw Stef for a loop
All Stef ever wanted was her father's love and affection, he called Stef horrible names that no parent should
Call their child. And her mother stood
There and did nothing, Stef realize she left her phone behind. Stef continues to walk along the beach
Stef is blessed to have someone amazing as Lena in her life and two beautiful little girls. Lena's giving her
Lena gave her strength to stand up to her parents, even if Lena had her own battles with Dana and Stuart. They haven't even reached out to their daughter in years, the way they treated Lena. Stef would never know
Stef looked at the time on her watch
It was 2:00 in the morning, she heads back to the hotel. Stef knows how Lena, is when she worries. Stef unlocks the car door and hops inside
She buckles up her seat belt, Stef starts up the car. And pulls out of the parking lot, and gets on the highway
Heading back to the days inn.
It takes her twenty minutes to return
She pulls in and parks her car, she sits there collecting herself. For the argument with Lena, Stef takes a deep breath and exits her car and head inside the hotel lobby and walks pass
The front desk. And gets on the elevator, going up to the room
The doors closed. It goes up
Then the elevator opens up and Steps off, Stef heads down the hall
She unlocks the room door. Stef walks inside quietly, so she doesn't disturb
Lena and the girls sleep. Stephanie marie Adams Foster where the hell have you been, l have been here worry sick. I had to convince our daughter you were coming back
I understand that today's was rough
For you. But it hurts me too see how bad you were hurting, and in the morning your gonna tell Frankie you didn't leave us Lena said getting up from the couch. Baby l'm sorry I just needed to clear my head a while
Stef replied, that's all well and good
Next time take your phone with you
Sharon has called over ten times
Since you've been gone. Lena states
Love can you please calm down, and listen to me Stef asks, Stephanie l'm tired and I have a headache because l was sitting waiting for you to come back. I think l need to go and see my mother, Stef Stated. I have no issue with you seeing her, but she needs to come to us. Cause l'm not taking our children to that house, Lena replied
I'll call her tomorrow. Do you mind us staying here for another day Stef asks
Look l don't have a problem staying an extra day, l might have to go out and get Ariel some more pampers
And breast pump. Lena said
I can go back out now if you want
Stef says, it's to late will go in the morning you need to shower and sleep Lena said.
