A Different Type of Family

Send Off and Hostility

"Two more down and six to go," Stef shouted as Lena laughed while her wife hugged Matthew and Max after they came to see them after the ceremony. The twins laughed as they eyed their moms' all smiles. 

"Two down and three to go," Armando added as he hugged his twins as they came down the stage as well. He hugged them tight as he cried silent tears. Owen and Oliver sighed as they smirked at their dad, who was a big soft man at home, but a bad ass cop on the field.

"PICTURES!" Bradley added as the Adams Foster twins and the Riviera twins sighed and rolled their eyes at the camera crazed Bradley. He loved photography and it showed in his pictures that he took. Lena and Stef started to cry as the tears slipped.

"Here come the waterworks," Matthew added.

"Yup. We will drown if they cry like that," Max added. The moms' gave them glares as they laughed. Bradley took pictures and the twins sighed.

"Can we stop now? I can't feel my feet," Matthew whined.

"Me too," Max added. "I need to move."

"Suck it up," Ty added. "I had to do it."

"Fine," Max added. "Don't cry if you have to carry me or Matthew."

"We did it too," the older set of twins added. "Did anyone carry us?"

"Whatever," Matthew and Max added as they rolled their eyes. 

All the other Adams Foster kids were took pictures with the graduates as well.

A few feet away, Armando Riviera was taking pictures of his twins. He was proud as he puffed out his chest. He remembered when he first adopted them, that they told him they were staying home and going to college. He smiled. 

"So you are still staying home right?" he asked.

"Yup. Save money and we decided long ago that we would stay dad," they added. He nodded.

The entire Riviera family took a picture with the twins. Soon, families were leaving to restaurants or parties to celebrate their respective graduates. 

Caleb's tummy grumbled since he was super hungry. Before he could say anything, Matthew and Max did. "We are hungry," they added.

A few minutes later, they left to a buffet the twins chose and Stef grinned. She loved their choice and smiled. "This is cool. I've missed this."

"I'd bet," Lena added as Stef parked the van in a spot and eyed her parents and in-laws as they parked as well. "Seems healthy," Dana added. Lena tried to nod at her mama.

All the Adams Foster kids filed out of the van or one of the grandparents cars. "YES!" Caleb added. This buffet was his favorite as well. He remembered a time, when his mom and him sneaked out of the house and came here for lunch.

The whole family came to the buffet and had three tables converted to house them all. 

All the kids went to get food. "Where's AJ?" Dana asked.

"In rehab. He screwed up again and Ty got beat up since they thought he was AJ," Lena added.

"I told you never to adopt that boy, Lena Elizabeth," Dana added. Lena nodded.

"I know mama," Lena added. "I should have listened."

"How is Ty?" Stuart asked.

"Getting better and the bruises are starting to heal," Stef added. 

Soon, the kids came back and the adults went to get food as well. "Let's wait," Callie added.

"Fine," the boys's grumbled. They knew it was respectful to wait.
