The Fosters (x reader)

1.12/House and Home

You and your family are all sitting around the table for dinner.

It was dead silent for a long time. Mom broke the silence by talking about work.

"So I'm going back to work next week." She said. " I just wanted to let everybody know."

"Are you scared?" Mariana asked.

"I'm not. Are you?" She asked. Mariana shrugged.

"A little." She said.

"Couldn't you get like a desk job, or something?" Jude asked.

"Did you know that being a cop isn't even in the top 10 most dangerous professions?" She asked.

"That's true. We're lucky she's not an airline pilot. Or a logger." Momma said.

"Or a crab fisherman, thats very dangerous." Mom added.

"Or an ice road trucker." Jesus added.

"Or what about a shark trainer." You suggested.

"Is that a thing? Do people train-" Mom was cut off by Jude.

"What's going to happen to Callie?" Jude asked.

Mom paused before answering. "Well tomorrow she gets to go before the judge, and the judge will decide if she gets more probation or..."

"Stays in juvie." Jude finished. "She got beat up last time."

"I know its scary sweetheart, but we're gonna do whatever we can." Momma told him.

Then Brandon asked if we could go to court with them. Mom had a weird look when he said that.

"What?" He asked.

"Uh, Callie doesn't want us to be there." Mom said.

"To bad. I mean, don't you have to talk to the judge..so that she can come home?" Brandon asked.

"Unless... You don't want her anymore." Jude said.

"Of course we want her." You said.

"It is not a question of whether we want Callie." Mom paused. "It is...it is whether she wants us." Mom said.

"She ran away, Brandon. For no reason." Momma said.

"Not really sure that she wants to be here." Mom added.

"She didn't run away for no reason." You all stared at Brandon.

"Wait, what?" You asked.

"Uh, is there something you want to share with us? Something that we don't know?" Mom asked.

"She ran away because I kissed her." Brandon said.

You looked at Mariana and she was just as jaw-dropped as you were.

Moms then talked to Brandon outside. You heard yelling.

You Mariana and Jesus' went to Brandons room and waited for him.

"Are you so horny you can't keep your hands off of our foster sister?" Mariana said as Brandon walked in.

"You know what? She kissed me too." He said.

"And that's supposed to make it better?" You asked.

"I'm tired of everyone trying to make me seem like some sort of.." He started.

"Liam." Mariana finished.

"Screw you." He said.

"I'm surprised you haven't tried." She said.

"Mariana that's gross." Jesus' said.

"I didn't grow up with Callie, okay? She's been here for two months." He stated. "This was only supposed to be a temporary thing until two days ago."

"Well than why would you say that we could adopt them?" You asked.

"Because I wanted her to be happy." He said.

"And you think she's happy now?" Mariana yelled. "In juvie?"

"I don't expect either of you to understand. Okay, you've never even had a boyfriend. And yours doesn't count. You're 14." he said to you and Mariana.

"Well you know what I can understand? You royally screwed this whole family." Mariana said before walking out. You followed.

You went into Jude and Jesus' room, and sat on Jude's bed.

"Its gonna be alright." You said. "All of this is gonna blow over, and Callie's going to come back. You both will get adopted, and everyone will be happy." You said.

"How do you know?" Jude asked.

"I don't." You admitted. "But, I'd like to think that the universe will shed some sort of light on us. You know? I believe that when bad things happen there's always something great around the corner." You said.

You got up to leave when Jude stopped you. Jude walked over to you and gave you a hug. You hugged him back.

"I hope you're right." He whispered.

"So do I." You sighed.

You went to your room, and threw yourself on your bed. You hear your phone ring so you answer it without checking the caller ID.

"Hello?" You sighed.

"Y/n?" They said.

"Who is this?" You asked.

"This is James... I'm your brother." He said.
