– An Adams Foster Family story
The Adams Foster family was what people would call an unusual family. But the amount of love that they shared was the biggest possible and anybody could see that. Stef and Lena were married and had five incredible children. The oldest was Brandon, who had sixteen years of age and was Stefanie's biological son, from her marriage with Mike. Callie was the second eldest, just by a few months. She had fifteen and had been adopted, along with her baby brother Jude, when she was fourteen, even though she lived with the family since thirteen. Then they had the twins, Mariana and Jesus, who also had fifteen and were younger than Callie by a few months, and were adopted by their moms when they were ten, but lived with them since when they were five. The youngest was Jude, who was twelve now and was Callie's biological half-brother.
Stef and Lena loved their family more than anything in this world and would do anything for their children to be safe and happy. And a few years ago, when Jude and Callie came into their lives, that's when they knew their family was complete. There was not even a logical explanation to this feeling. In just a little time, that girl and her little brother, made their ways into everybody's hearts. They had a troubled childhood and experienced more than most people do in a lifetime, but in this house, they found their forever family. It was where they found love and care.
"Callie, Mariana, shake a leg girls! You're gonna be late" Stef called her teenage daughters from the bottom of the stairs. Lena, her wife, and her sons Brandon, Jesus and Jude were already in the kitchen table eating breakfast.
"Coming!" Mariana answered and Stef sighed, going back to the rest of her family
"Jesus, have you taken your pills yet?" Lena was asking their son, and Stef grabbed the medicine basket and handed the pill to the boy, already knowing the answer. The blonde cop kissed her wife and grabbed a cup of coffee to start her day
"Oh, finally!" Lena said when the girls appeared down the stairs, talking about something Lexi had texted them "Can the rest of us know what is so funny?"
"Oh, nothing" Mariana said and when it was met with silence she looked up to her mother "I mean, you wouldn't understand"
"Did our daughter just called us old?" Stef said pretending to be hurt and making everybody laugh
"Not that I'm on their side Mom, but you are kind of old" Jesus said
"I think you're very young and beautiful," Jude said in their defense. Everybody engaged on conversation, like every other morning in the Adams Foster household. One thing, though, was different. Callie was incredible quiet that morning. Of course, from all the kids, she and Jude were the last talkative, Mariana and Jesus being the most outgoing of the crew. But she wasn't that quiet either. She would always say some joke to help her sister and make everybody laugh with her smart jokes. While they all talked, Stef took a look on her baby Cal. The two of them had the most especial bond. They had one since the day they met, when the girl was thirteen years old.
"Hey sweets, do you want something different to eat?" She asked the girl, noticing she haven't eaten her cereal, and was just playing around with her spoon, while listening to the conversation
"Oh, no. That's alright" the girl answered and that took Lena's attention too. The two mothers crossed eyes and had one of their famous "mute conversations" that only they understood. This time what they said with those looks was that something was wrong with Callie
"Well honey, you haven't touched you cereal. I can make you some eggs if you want" Lena tried
"Eww, she doesn't eat eggs" Mariana said, while Callie just shrugged
"You mean, you don't eat eggs" Brandon said mocking her
"Yeah, but she is my sister. I'm looking out for her by not letting her eat this kind of thing" the latina said. Even though Mariana and Jesus were the twins, she and Callie bounded like they were the twins of the family. The fact that they had the same age, slept in the same bedroom and did everything together since they were thirteen, made them almost inseparable, even if they were, in fact, totally different people and had the most different taste and personality.
"Well honey, you need to eat something" Lena pushed. Breakfast was something important in their family, the most important meal of the day.
"I'm not all that hungry"
"Are you sick babe?" Stef asked
"No mom, I'm just…"
"Well, so eat at least a little, and I'll reinforce your lunch ok?" she asked, but Callie knew it wasn't really a question, so she just nodded, while her mom put an apple with her sandwich for lunch.
"Ok guys, let's get going alright? Everybody in the car in ten" Lena said looking at her watch. She then put her mug in the sink, gave Stef a peck on the lips and went upstairs to finish getting ready.
"Wait, why you are always in such a hurry?" Mariana said, always being the last one to be ready.
"Mom, it's okay if I go to Lou's after school?" Brandon asked Stef
"Yeah, just don't forget to do your homework and be home before curfew ok?"
"Yes, gotcha" he said with a smile and put his plate in the sink. Callie got up to do the same, but Stef stopped her
"Hey, we agreed you would eat at least a little bit" she said and the girl looked down at her bowl and shrugged. Stef took the bowl away from her and put it in the sink before looking in her daughter's eyes, with a concerned look "You sure you're alright? You seem pretty quiet this morning"
"Yeah, I just didn't sleep very well I guess" she said "If you let me drink some coffee I would be more talkative this morning" she said with prying eyes and a smirk on her face. Stef laughed a little
"Nice try kiddo. No coffee for you young lady"
"At least I tried" Callie said noticing the smile on Stef's face was fading and her concern taking place again "Don't worry mom, I'm fine. Really" she said and hugged her mother
"Ok, but if anything was bothering you, you would tell me right?"
"Yes mom" Callie said, pretending to be annoyed by the hovering "I need to go now, or even Mariana will be ready before me" she said with a little laugh and left the kitchen.
That kid. Stef knew she worried too much sometimes, but Callie had that effect on her. Well, all of her babies had, but Callie got to her nerves a little easier. Just because she would always try to figure things out by herself and try not to bother anyone with her problems. If Callie complained about something, than it was serious. She was brought back to reality, from her worries, when Lena entered back on the now quiet kitchen
"Hey hon, are you ok?"
"Oh yeah" she said "Just worried"
"Babe, she's fine" Lena said, already knowing what her wife was worried about
"Yes, I know" she agreed "She was just really quiet, and you know…"
"Baby, she is a teenager" Lena said with a smile "That's what you get with fifteen year olds"
"You right" she said giving Lena a kiss "You're always right you know?"
"Bye mom" they heard the kids leaving for school and said their goodbyes.
