Chapter 20

Hello everyone. I just want to thank you all for loving this story and being a part of this journey. This will be the last chapter of this story. I'm not sure if I will be doing a sequel but things have gotten increasingly busy. And I promise this isn't because the show is ending. I know just like the rest of you I will miss the show so much. The show and this fandom has helped me get through some of this hardest 5 years of my life. But bc of it I am stronger now and understand love more than I did before the show. I will still be continuing Therapeutic. So enjoy and remember ... Give Love. -BR

It has only been a few months and things were beginning to evolve for the growing family.

Lena sat on the young teen's bed as she finished up brushing her hair for her. Lena was spending some quality alone time with Callie since it's usually shared with Mariana. But today Mariana and Jude were out and about with Stef. Callie played with the loose string from Lena's skirt as she listened to her as she spoke. "How do you feel about tomorrow sweetie? Are you excited? Nervous?"

"Excited."

"Are you really? I know things moved pretty quickly but Stef and I..."

"No. I am excited, Mama. Honestly."

It wasn't the first time that Callie called her Mama, but each time Lena's heart explodes. She only says it in private and has yet to Call Stef mom. Jude surprisingly hasn't called either of them either word. She figured because he was waiting for Callie to do so first.

"I am so thankful for everything you and Stef have done for me and Jude. You guys didn't have to save us. But you guys did. I know at first I was a little difficult. When I first met Stef, I couldn't completely trust her. But only because cops never really seemed to help us or really care. But I could tell Stef was different, but at the same time I think that I was scared. I knew she wanted to help but I also knew that she could easily have me and Jude separated. But mostly because I couldn't figure out why I wanted to trust her so much. She kept showing up and kept trying to convince me that she cared about us. Then you came in one day. I don't want to hurt your feelings but you were broken too. And I was instantly drawn to you I think because of that. You were the first nice person that I trusted. For some reason, I wanted to be around you a lot and to help you. I wanted to see how things would turn out for you because then I would have hope. So when you said I could trust Stef I believed you, I just couldn't right away. But I am gad that I do now. And I'm glad that you gave me a chance and that Jude and I have a home now. Because I honestly love all of you guys".

Lena was able to hold in the tears not wanting to interrupt anything that the child had to say. But when she saw the tears coursing down her face and Callie turned to hug her she couldn't hold them back anymore.

"We love you both so much, Cals. So much.You all are like our three little heart beats that keeps us going".

After a moment of them hugging each other and finding comfort in the silence Callie broke away to ask a question that has been on her mind for quite some time. "So tomorrow me and Jude, our names will be Adams-Foster like Mariana's?"

"Yes. Is that alright honey?"

"Yes, but you and Stef should have your names changed too. Stef can add Adams and you add Foster". Lena smiled at the little girl. She wouldn't admit it but she did wish that they had the same last names as their children.

"It's alright sweetie. They probably wouldn't let us yet because we aren't married and..."

"Do you want Stef to propose to you?" Callie cut her off, needing to know the answers.
