Confrontation & Surprises: "The Fosters" A Stef, Lena, and Monte Story

Chapter 2

...She then turned around and took off to her office.

I followed suit and she held the door open for me. She then shut the door and walked around to the other side of her desk. She leaned in it and took a deep breath while looking down. She looked up to me and began to speak.

"Look Stef, I know what I did before was terribly wrong. I don't know what came over me, but I did not do it intentionally. I felt terrible immediately after I did it. And then I was just so confused about all the recent events that had taken place in my life, that I... I thought I was in love with Lena... I know I shouldn't have even said anything about it to Jenna and I feel so bad about hurting her along with you and Lena. I never meant for any of this to happen, but it did because I had a period of weakness. I know what you're thinking Stef. 'How can I believe anything this woman is saying to me.' Well I'll tell you how you can believe me. I found someone who makes my heart skip a beat every time I see them. I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about them. I can't even actually ever stop thinking about them. I can tell you, I was not in love with Lena. I know that for a fact. I was just being stupid. This feeling I get whenever I think about the person I have now, doesn't compare to any other feeling I have ever felt. Even when I was married... Before I lost my baby... Stef... I know for a fact that I'm in love with this person I have found. I payed for the hospital bills because I felt so terrible about all the pain I have caused you, and Lena, and Jenna. I know that what I did can never truly be forgiven, especially not by just paying for some hospital bills. I will forever owe you and Lena, and I have to live with that, but I would just like for this hostility between us to end because I found someone that I am truly in love with. And they're in love with me. Or so they say. I really hope they are because I would never be able to live without them now that I have them. Stef, I truly am sorry. I really hope that we can get rid of all the awkwardness between you and I, and Lena and myself. I know that will take a while, but I would really like to try. This paying the bills thing was just something I wanted to do. It does not make me feel 100% better about what I did, no where near that. But I felt obligated to after what happened because of my childish stupidity."

"I... I don't even... Woah. Okay..." I stuttered dumbfounded.

"I know that's a lot to take in. I understand if you need time to process it."

"Okay..." I nodded my head and stood there with my mouth open still trying to comprehend what all I just heard.

"Stef, close your mouth. You'll catch a fly," Monte laughed, "just go home and be with your family. Process everything and then get back to me... Or don't... It's totally up to you whether or not we try to fix this," she pointed back and forth between us as she said that last word.

I turned around and opened the door and walked out closing it behind me. I walked out into the main office and said goodbye to the man that worked in the office. I walked out to my car and got in it. I sat there for a few minutes trying to process the words I was just told.

I wonder who Monte met...
