A Different Type of Family

Last Minute Houseguests

The Adams Foster family was all packed up and everything was in order. Their home was being fumigated for termites and the pets were taken to Frank and Sharon's home until they could move back home. 

Stef's cell rang and she sighed. "You could have called sooner. I have a family to worry about."

"Sorry. It just came up," her friend added. "Sorry," Janice Miller added. 

"It's fine," Stef added as she hung up the phone and eyed Lena. The curly haired woman looked worried as she eyed Stef. "We have a problem, love," Stef added as she filled her in.

"What are we going to do?" Lena asked.

"What about daddy?" Callie asked. "It is his weekend."

A few hours later, Stef, Lena and the kids went over to Mike's house. When he heard their plans went south, he told them to come over. Stef and Lena got the guest bedroom since the gym got a new home. Mike built a room in the backyard and that became the new gym. Ty, AJ, Matthew and Max had to use the family room. 

"Why the family room?" AJ asked in a whine. "It seems too small."

"We can't go anywhere else and we aren't getting a hotel. That would be expensive," Stef added. Lena agreed with her wife and went to console AJ. "Mom is right, we need to rough it out."

"Why can't we be in one of our siblings rooms?" AJ asked still in his whining tone. 

"Their isn't room for four boys to a room love," Lena added as she cupped his chin. "This isn't our home."

AJ nodded as did the other three boys. "At least we have a place to stay," Ty added as the moms' beamed and nodded. 

"That's true," Lena added as AJ sat down to use the Laptop, as he went to see what Matthew and Max wanted to show him, Callie came for her Laptop. "HEY!" AJ added.

"Yes?" Callie asked confused as she had her Laptop in her hand. 

"I was going to use that," AJ added. 

"Well it is my Laptop and I need to start my homework," Callie added.

"I'm going to tell moms," AJ added as Ty, Matthew and Max shook their heads. AJ left and Callie went up to her room and began to do her homework. Stef knocked on Callie's door and eyed her daughter and smiled.

"Hi baby girl," Stef added. "What are you working on?"

"Homework for English and History. I told AJ he can't use it," Callie added as she filled her mom in. Stef sighed. "I'm not here about that. I just wanted to see how you are doing."

"Oh," Callie added as AJ made his presence known. "Here he comes."

"MOM. She needs to share," AJ added.

"Where is your Laptop?" Stef asked. He sighed.

"At home," AJ admitted as Stef closed her eyes. 

"Nice place for it," Stef added. "This is Callie's and when she is done with it, she can share if she wants. She has a lot of homework to do," Stef replied as AJ nodded and sighed. Stef winked at Callie. 

An hour later, "Stef, Lena?" Mike asked.

"Yup?" Stef asked as they both eyed him.

"The kids and I are going to my Lake house and if you want to come," Mike added.

"Maybe we should," Lena added. Stef nodded as well. Ty, AJ, Matthew and Max agreed and packed their stuff in their moms' car. Mike and his kids with Stef were packed as well.
