A Different Type of Family

Five Years Later

The youngest set of triplets woke up. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Callie and Lexi screamed out. BJ, MJ and Cassie smiled. They are now 15 years old and it was June 20 and summer break. That night would be Cassie's Quince party. Mariana and her family were invited.

All the kids still live at home since most are in college still for the MA or PHD. Callie and Lexi knew at one point their kids would leave soon and they would find themselves with an empty nest of kids. But they had their hands full. Callie's bio twins, Alexandra and Christian stayed in Las Vegas and Reno respectively and are in relationships. Their dad moved to Carson City to be near them since he moved his main business company there and kept the one in Mission Bay in his brother's capable hands.

Twins Pablo and Paolo are 26 years old, the three sets of older triplets are 22 with the exception of the girl triplets, as well as Callie's youngest set of triplets she gave birth too. And the youngest set of triplets are 15 years old. 

"I can't believe they are 15," Callie added. "And we celebrate Cassie's Quince tonight."

"I know right?" Lexi asked. She was still a little off that Mariana and her family were coming. Callie eyed her wife. "Hey. You are my woman and I could never need another."

"I just. Um, feel left out," Lexi added. "You two have kids together."

"Kids she got pregnant with and I never knew about. She violated me and I never cared for her and never will. But regardless, she is the mother of the triplets and I wish we had time travel and go back and stop her," Callie added.

"Yup," Lexi added. "But this is for the triplets."

Across town, Mariana, Ana, Donald and Mariana's half-siblings were getting ready for the Quince party. "I don't want to go," Mariana added. Ana and Donald sighed.

"Why not baby?" Ana asked.

"Callie will be there and I love her," Mariana said as tears appeared in her eyes. "We have kids together."

"That's because of what you did," Ana and Donald added. Mariana nodded. Soon, they were all ready for the party. 

At the Hall, the family were ready and Lexi and Callie took pictures with Cassie together, Cassie with the grandmothers and Cassie with her siblings. All the pictures were taken when Mariana and her family showed up.

"Hi baby girl," Mariana added. "You look so pretty."

"Thanks," Cassie mumbled as Lexi rubbed her back so the girl could calm down. The past five years with Mariana out was bad since she tried to weasel her way into the lives of the Adams Foster family and Callie and Lexi put their foot down in that regard.

"Hi ladies," Mariana added as Callie and Lexi nodded and smiled. More pictures of Cassie were taken with Mariana and with Callie together. Callie had a fake smile and after the pictures were taken, Callie went to get Lexi. "Let's go my love."

Mariana's heart sank, Lexi beamed and Callie winked at her wife and walked out to see to the guests, while Ana and Mariana talked with Cassie. Mariana gave a disgusted face.

Cassie eyed this upset. "Why come? You know they love each other and always will."

"Whose side are you on?" Mariana asked.

"My mommy and mama's," Cassie added. "In the beginning I was young and didn't understand what you did. But I do know," Cassie added as she started to walk away. Mariana looked shocked.

"Don't walk away from me," Mariana added as she tried to grab her arm and ended up smacking her face. Ana was shocked and Cassie looked hurt.

"I hate you," Cassie added as she fled in the bathroom as she began to cry. Her light makeup was running and she eyed her swollen, red cheek. Mariana stared in shock at her daughter and ran into the bathroom as she eyed her daughter in tears.
