A Different Type of Family

Holding Her Daughter

"CALLIE WAKE UP MY BABY, WAKE UP," Lena screamed as an ambulance came to Anchor Beach. Curious students looked on and the Adams Foster boys and Lexi eyed Callie as the EMT worked on her. The kids were scared.

Fifteen minutes prior, Callie had just downed another Caffeine pill and sighed. She had two pills left in the first bottle and sighed. She was happy and had no nightmares and was so carefree. 

She had been taking the pills for a week and she saw results after the first pill she took. She was excited and purchased more pills from Charlie and he smiled. He was making money off of Callie and she was dumb enough to buy the useless pills. All they did was make her addicted and dependent on them. She hardly slept.

She also found out, that the pills made her more confident and she didn't scare so easily, so she stopped going to therapy and she even had someone forge her mama's signature. Since the receptionist was new, she did not know Lena's signature and accepted it.

At lunch, Callie and Lexi kissed as their friends cheered them on. The sun was very hot and Callie felt hot and light headed, but she attributed it to the intense heat the sun was giving forth.

Soon, everything was spinning and since Lena was on lunch patrol, she ran over at seeing the way Callie carried herself. She ran to her just in time as her little girl fainted in her arms and Monte Paul Porter called an ambulance.

Fifteen minutes later, "CALLIE WAKE UP MY BABY, WAKE UP," Lena added as she was put on a stretcher and put in the ambulance. Lena went with her. 

"Matthew or Max, drive the van home," Lena added. They nodded and Matthew took the keys and decided he would be the driver. Lexi started to cry as Caleb hugged her tight.

"She will be okay and my mama will let us know what happened, alright?" Caleb asked.

The Latina girl nodded as the tears still flowed. Owen and Oliver hugged their baby sister as well.

In the ambulance, Callie was being worked on as Lena watched helpless as she cried. 

In an instant, the monitors started to go off as Callie started to have a seizure. 

"BABY BUGGY, MY HEART," Lena screamed out as Callie began to jerk left and right.

"Mama," Callie whimpered as she began to gag. The EMT injected Callie with a syringe. 

"She's having the seizure still," the EMT added as the ambulance sped to the hospital.

Once inside the hospital, Callie was taken up to pediatrics and Lena followed and stayed in the waiting room and cried. She face-timed with Stef, who was asleep at the time.

"My love, what's wrong?" Stef asked as she eyed her wife's tears and face.

"Callie. We are at the hospital," Lena added as Stef woke up. When it concerned her babies and especially Callie, she was worried.

"Keep me posted my love," Stef added as Lena nodded. 

Hours later, Dr. Sam Waters came in. "Adams Foster?"

Lena, Frank and Sharon got up at once. "How is my baby buggy?" Lena asked.

"Lucky and out of danger. We got to her just in time. We were able to pump her body of the drugs."

"Drugs? What drugs?" Lena asked. "My daughter doesn't drugs."

"Caffeine pills," he added as Lena put her hand to her mouth. She felt numb and her legs felt like much as she sat down. 

"Is she okay?" Lena asked.

"She will be," he added. "Needs to stay for the weekend."

Lena, Frank and Sharon nodded as the boys and Lexi ran in. "How is Callie?" Caleb asked.
