A Different Type of Family

Seniors

Anchor Beach was packed and filled with cars, students and parents on the first day of school. Lena Adams Foster was in a last minute board meeting as she sighed and walked into the room and smiled at Monte who was off of coffee. 

"Two more months," Lena added. Monte nodded and smiled.

"I can't wait. Still will be breast feeding," she added. "So a year."

Lena nodded in a sad way. "How are both sets of twins?"

"My baby twins are fine. Even if they are older they will always be my baby twins. Grant and Grace feel the family moved on. Jenna, Kelly and the twins had too."

"Are they mad?" Lena asked.

"Jealous. They want a room of their own. But those two extra rooms are for the triplets."

"Oh I see the problem now," Lena added. "Do they feel entitled?"

"Yup and more," Monte added. They stopped as Karina walked in.

At Anchor Beach, Callie seemed nervous as she eyed the entrance to the school. Her five older brothers' understood what she was thinking. "Our last year," the boys' added.

"Yup," Callie and Lexi added. Callie was lost in thought. "I wish mommy were here." It was no secret that Callie had been counting off the days since the first day Stef left to Iraq. She missed her daddy too.

"Oh their is my newly minted senior. Hi baby girl," Stef added. Callie was out of it as she answered. "Hi mommy," Callie added not realizing that her mommy was right behind her. Lexi wiped her tears. Then Callie's eyes went wide.

"Mommy?" Callie asked as she turned around to see her blonde mommy in jeans and a t shirt. "MOMMY!" Callie screamed out as the teen ran and jumped in her arms and wrapped her legs around her mommy's waist. 

"Hi baby girl. Surprise," Stef added as she sat down with Callie on the bench. 

"When did you get in?" Callie asked. Stef sighed.

"Two weeks ago," Stef added. "I was in a two week debriefing."

"And they don't let you call?" Callie asked.

"Nope. I wanted to," Stef added. Callie nodded.

"Daddy?" the girl asked.

"Still on base," Stef added. "Let's go surprise your big brothers?"

A few minutes later, "Is that a beehive?" AJ asked.

"It sure is," Caleb added. All five boys' are boys' at heart and were about to inspect the beehive.

"What is going on here?" Stef asked.

"Nothing mom. Just a beehive," Caleb added. It took the boys' longer to realize that their mommy was here. "MOM!" they all added. Stef hugged Caleb, Callum, Aaron Jr, Jack and eyed AJ. After awhile he hugged her too.

"I'm sorry," AJ mouthed. Stef nodded. Lexi was happy that Stef was back.

The bell rang. "Well get to the first class seniors," Stef added.

Lena walked into her office and did not notice a huge bouquet of roses on her desk. She finally eyed them and smiled and read the card. It said "Turn Around."

Lena did and gasped and gaped. "BABE. YOU'RE HOME."

"Yup. Give me some love sexy," Stef added as Lena ran to her and jumped into her wife's arms and they both began to kiss. 

"How long?" Lena asked.

"Two weeks. I was in debriefing and can't call."

"I understand. At least you are home. Mike?"
