A Different Type of Family

Introductions

Stacy and Leticia realized that Jesus was sad about something. "I will ask Jude," Stacy added as Leticia went to confront Jude. "Hi Jude. What is going on with Jesus?" she asked concerned as Jude sighed. He faced her as tears slipped from his face.

"Jesus is a twin. They separated us from his twin sister. She is my big sister," Jude replied as he began to cry. "Twins aren't supposed to be separated."

"I know," Leticia added. "Do you know why?"

"No," Jude lied. "Can you take her in?"

"Well I will need to ask Bill about her," Leticia added. "We have known Bill for a long time and he will tell us the truth," she added as Jude gulped and nodded.

Leticia joined her wife in the backyard. "Jesus has a twin sister. They were separated."

"What? Why would they separate them?" Stacy asked. "We can take her and Carter can share her room?"

"I need to call Bill first and find out the reason they were separated," Leticia added.

"And I need to contact Lena to get Jesus and Jude an appointment for the testing to get into Anchor Beach," Stacy added as she called Lena.

"Hello?" Lena asked.

"Hi Lena, it's Stacy," she added. "Leticia and I just got two foster sons that need testing."

"What are their names?" Lena asked.

"Jesus and Jude Gutierrez," she added as Lena sighed over the phone.

"I'm sorry but they already tested this year and they did not pass. They can take the test next year in the summer if you still have them," Lena added.

"Oh," Stacy added. "How do you know this?"

"Stef and I used to foster Jesus, Mariana and Jude," Lena added.

"Why did you stop fostering?" Stacy asked.

"Their old caseworker Jeff lied to us about issues and allergies. When the truth was out they were sent away."

"What issues?" Stacy asked.

"Jesus is allergic to pets and can't take medication and he also has ADHD. Mariana was far worse. She can't be in a foster home if the parents have daughters," Lena added.

"Was she the girl that broke Callie's arm?" Stacy asked.

"Yes and she always tried to put Stef and Callie against each other," Lena added.

"Oh," Stacy replied. "What school do they go to?"

"Saint Patrick's," Lena added. "Mariana still goes."

"That will have to do and a bus comes here by our home," Stacy added.

"Well I have to go," Lena added.

Stacy found Leticia and filled her in. "She was the girl that hurt Callie?"

"Yes," Stacy added. "They also go to Saint Patrick's."

"Okay," Leticia added. The Latina mama was glad she did not promise to take in Mariana.

A few hours later, Jesus and Jude went to explore the top part of the house and eyed three bedrooms and two smaller ones. the master bedroom was opened.

"I wonder which one is ours?" Jude asked.

"None. We are in the guest room," Jesus reminded him gently.

The first room said Travis and Trevor, the room across from that said Harper and Parker, the room across from that said Stanley and Spencer, the room across from that said Abigail and Addison and the room next to the master bedroom said Carter. Another room was labeled the media room and it was for the boys.
