The Fosters - Where you Belong

DNA Doesn't Make A Family, Love Does

Welcome to my Fosters story. This chapter will be based on Season 1 Episode 9 of The Fosters. This story will focus mostly on Callie and Brandon. I am team Brallie so eventually this will become a Brallie story. This is just a short chapter written in General POV.

General POV

Being a police officer was a dangerous job but very important job. When one of them gets hurt on the job it effects the entire community in some way. So when Stef Foster was shot it effected the entire city of San Diego. Her family had it the hardest. Even though Stef was going to make a full recovery over time things would never be in same in the Foster household.

Brandon and Callie didn't know yet what happened to Stef. They were talking one moment and then the next moment there was a knock on the front door. No one else was home at the time so Brandon answered the door. Two other police officers that he knew from visiting the police station to see his dad were at the door. They told him the news that Stef was shot. Brandon was upset and worried. Brandon knew he had to get to the hospital. Brandon and Callie drove to the hospital together. Everyone else was already there except for Jude who was sleeping over at a friends house.

Brandon was really mad at Mariana and Jesus blaming them for what happened. Yes they were partly responsible but it wasn't their fault. Brandon was talking to Lena.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Brandon said

"Tell me what?" Lena asked

"I knew that Mariana was in contact with her birth mother." Brandon said

"You being the oldest, I would have thought that you would have told us sooner." Lena said

"I know but I didn't really see anything wrong with it." Brandon said

"It was wrong because Mariana went behind your mom and I." Lena said

"If I had know something like this would happen I would have told you and my mom as soon as I found out." Brandon said

A little while later Lena told Brandon to take Mariana, Jesus, and Callie home. Lena was going to stay the night and let the kids know any updates on Stef. Once the kids got home they all got some rest. No one could really sleep so it was more like just a quiet night with some talking and thinking. Mariana and Jesus were reflecting on everything that has happened to them.

"Was Brandon right when he said Stef getting shot was out fault?" Mariana asked Jesus

"Brandon had a right to be mad at us but Stef is just as much his mom as she is our mom." Jesus said

"I fell like this would not have happened if it wasn't for us." Mariana said

"Stef and Lena love us so they will forgive us." Jesus said

In another room Callie and Brandon were talking.

"I'm sorry about what happened to your mom but it's not really the twins fault." Callie said

"I didn't mean to get mad at them." Brandon said

"Then why did you tell Mariana and Jesus that this is all their fault." Callie said

"I was mad and it was in the moment." Brandon said

"I think you owe both Jesus and Mariana an apology." Callie said

Brandon said he was sorry to the twins. All 4 of them ended up camping out in the living room. They only got a little bit of sleep. Jude came home from his sleepover the next morning then all 5 of them went back to the hospital. Stef was doing better and everyone was hopeful and glad that she would be ok.

A little later at the hospital Talya showed up to support Brandon. No one really wanted her their included Brandon. Wyatt was also at the hospital to support Callie and the Foster family. He was moving really soon so Callie didn't have much longer to spend with him.

A week later Stef was out of the hospital and on her way to a full recovery. Everyone was thankful and glad with how this turned out because it could have been much worse. No one wanted to think about the worst case senerio but it didn't happen so they don't have to worry about that.

It was the first family dinner since Stef had been released. Everyone was there including Mike. No one was taking the blame for what happened. Everyone understood that it was just an accident. The Foster family was the best family to have in the world because they knew what family truly meant. DNA doesn't make a family, Love does.

This statement was the Foster family motto.
