There was a knock at the door and the uninteresting chatter of Talya and Brandon's date came to a halt, much to Callie's pleasure. Lena and Stef looked up at the same time before looking at each other.

"Are you expecting Mike?" Lena questioned and Stef shook her head. "I wonder who's coming to see us this late at night then."

"I'll get it," Callie offered to get out of the room. She didn't wait for an answer and she ran up to grab the door open. The woman in front of her stopped when she saw Callie and smiled widely, Callie wearing the same expression on her face. "Oh my god!" She shouted pulling the girl into a hug, this was the first time Callie smiled and laughed and was happy at the same time.

"Callie, you got so fucking big!" The girl exclaimed squeezing Callie around her neck.

"Me, look at you Mitchie!" She countered looking down at her.

"Callie, is everything alright?" Lena wondered walking into the foyer, the whole family coming too. She saw the girl standing in front of the door as Callie and her separated. "Um, who's this?"

"This is one of my old foster siblings, Mitchie," She introduced.

"Mitchie's here?" Jude exclaimed pushing through the crowd to jump in the girls arms. "I missed you!"

"I missed you too little man," Mitchie laughed before putting him down. She let her arm droop around him as she looked up at the family. "Big family," She laughed.

"Yeah," Callie agreed licking her lips. "What are you doing here?"

"Do you remember Liam, Callie?" Mitchie muttered quietly and Callie's smile wiped away. "I need to talk to you about something that happened."

"Do you guys mind if Mitchie and I talk alone?" Callie wondered and they all looked at each other before Lena began to shoo them off so they could be alone. "Except maybe you Stef, do you think you could stay?"

"Ca-"

"She's a cop, Mitchie, if you're in trouble she can help,"Callie began to explain and Mitchie licked her lips before nodding. "Alright, come on in."

"Okay," Mitchie nodded reaching over and picking something up. The thing in her hand caused Callie to stop moving and stare. "Callie, this is Sawyer." She introduced her to the infant.

"Um, okay well let's get out of this humid weather." Stef insisted pulling the two of them inside before closing the door. They sat quietly in the living room for a while before Mitchie began to speak again.

"I don't really know how to tell you this, but after you went away, Liam became even more violent than he was," She started with. "Fights at school and at home, always picking arguments with people."

"What happened?" Callie tried to make her go straight to the point.

"Almost a year ago, he came by looking for you, convinced that I was hiding you. When I told him you weren't there," Mitchie swallowed harshly and her eyes glassed over completely. "Do you think I could maybe give him to Jude, I don't really want to talk about this in front of him."

"Yeah, of course," Callie nodded calling Jude in. Mitchie introduced the two of them and handed Sawyer off to Jude who held onto his hand and walked with him back to the kitchen. "So what happened?" Stef sat listening on the edge of the seat, careful to listen to all the details.

"After I told him you weren't there," She stopped and rubbed her face with her hands. "Oh my god Callie it was terrible." She cried, tears flowing out of her face.

"What happened, sweetheart?" Stef questioned and Mitchie looked up at the two of them.

"Liam raped me and I haven't seen him since," She burst into tears again and Callie couldn't believe what she was hearing from her. "I haven't seen him until a week ago and I didn't have Sawyer with me because she was with a baby sitter and I was coming home from work, but he wants to have Sawyer, but I don't know if he could do that and I don't want him to have him, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to keep him from Liam."

"Did you report the rape?" Stef questioned and Mitchie shook her head. "No one would have cared where I was from, they would have told me I was asking for it or something."

"Mitchie, do not let Liam near Sawyer." Callie insisted quickly. "Whatever you do, that meat bag isn't allowed to even look at him."

"Legally, she can't do that," Stef sighed. "But we could possibly get him removed from Sawyer's life and thrown in jail."

"I have no proof of the rape though," Mitchie sighed. "I came here because I was hoping that maybe Callie could come forward, maybe she could tell the police about what Liam did and they'd believe me."

"Honey, I believe you, and he isn't going to get away with this. You and Sawyer are welcome to stay here until we get this settled. To keep your son safe." She offered and Mitchie smiled.

"You have yourself one hell of a family, Callie," She told her best friend. "You're lucky."

"I know," Callie nodded her head smiling at Stef.

"I'll go tell everyone else, are you hungry?" She wondered standing up and looking at the two girls.

"No, but Sawyer might be." Mitchie said standing up and following Stef to the kitchen, Callie close behind. She saw Jesus with Sawyer on his lap and bouncing him up and down making him giggle.

"Mommy," He managed to laugh out opening his arms wide. Jesus looked up at Mitchie while holding onto Sawyer while bouncing him.

"Hey baby," Mitchie laughed standing beside Sawyer. "Are you having fun, Sawyer?" The toddler didn't have to answer because he was laughing so hard. "He likes you." Mitchie smiled looking up at Jesus.

"I like him too; he can be my new sidekick." Jesus decided smirking. "I'm Jesus."

"Mitchie," She grinned. "Are you hungry, Sawyer? Do you want bread or ham or your cookies?" She questioned reaching deep into her bag and pulling out a bag of cookies that Sawyer immediately reached for. Mitchie laughed and broke the cookies so Sawyer could eat them.

"So he's yours?" Mariana questioned while Stef talked to Lena in the hallway.

"Yeah," Mitchie nodded.

"He's adorable; I'm Mariana, Jesus's twin."

"Nice to meet you; and he sure is, huh?" Mitchie agreed watching Jesus hand him the bits of the cookies and she smiled.

"Okay guys," Lena clapped walking back into the kitchen. She looked at Mitchie and Sawyer on Jesus's lap. "It looks like we have two more to welcome into the house for a little while."

"No longer than three months." Stef added quickly. "Just until we work that thing out."

"What thing?" Brandon wondered and Stef shook her head. "Okay?"

"Sawyer and Mitchie can room with Callie and Mariana, if that isn't a problem?"

"No, that's fine," Mariana agreed and Callie nodded her head.

"Great," Lena nodded hugging her daughter from behind. "We are glad to have you here."

"Thank you both so much, you have no idea how much I appreciate this for Sawyer's sake, it me-"

"It's our pleasure," Stef insisted. "We're going to bed, don't stay up too late everyone, okay?" They all bid them goodnight and watched the two of them go upstairs.

"I'm Brandon, by the way," He introduced. "And this is my girlfriend, Talya."

"It's nice to meet you both." Mitchie smiled watching Sawyer from the corner of her eyes.

"Aren't you like our age?" Talya questioned and Mitchie nodded her head before sighing heavily. "Wow."

"Shut up Talya," Callie called quickly, she was tired of her shit and normally wouldn't have said anything, but this was a special condition. It was Mitchie. The girl who was always there for her when she needed him, the girl she left to deal with Liam when she was kicked out of the house.

"It's fine, Callie, you can't blame her. It's not every day you see a 17 year old girl with a son almost one year old." Mitchie licked her lips and held Sawyer's hand. "But I'll tell you there's nothing more beautiful than your first child. Once you get past the whole pregnant morning sickness and fat feet thing."

"I can't wait till we have our first child," Talya smiled up at Brandon and kissed his jaw line. "But I need to get home before my parents have a fit."

"I'll walk you out," Brandon followed close behind her and Callie took her seat.

"Come on Sawyer; let's go get you ready for bed." Mitchie reached over to take Sawyer, but he latched onto Jesus's neck and started to cry, making her laugh. "I've never seen him act like that, with anyone."

"What can I say I have a way with kids," Jesus laughed standing up and carrying Sawyer. "I'll bring him up, if you want."

"That would be wonderful, Callie I'll see you up there? I have to get this one washed up." Mitchie said following Jesus up the steps leaving Callie and Mariana down there to talk for a few minutes.

"Why are you okay with sharing your room with two more people?" She asked Mariana who looked down. "Mariana?"

"She looks like she needs the help, Callie, she's 17 with a kid. I don't want you to keep thinking I'm this selfish bitch anymore, okay?"Mariana finally explained and Callie took a step back while staring at her.

"That's really great of you, Mariana, thank you." She smiled at her and they exchanged a moment of forgiveness, of gratitude and change.

"Hold on, the water's too hot for him." Mitchie explained running her hand through the water while Jesus leaned against the counter space while Sawyer sat in front of him on the counter. He was leaning against the wall rocking his feet back and forth. "Thanks, by the way. I know we just met but you being here to hold him while I wash his face makes it 10 times easier."

"I love little kids, and it's no problem at all, I'm happy to help." Jesus offered. "If you're living here for the next few months I might as well get used to him being here."

"Well he's already use to you," She laughed letting her wet hand wipe his face and hands before drying him with a rag. "There's my beautiful boy." She smiled moving his hair out of his face to flash his bright green eyes.

"If you want, he can sleep in my bed tonight so you don't have to cram in my sister's room." Jesus offered. "It wouldn't be a problem."

"I don't know, I've never spent a night away from him." Mitchie thought. "It would be nice to not have to be scared of crushing him though."

"Then it's settled, my little side kick gets to room with me tonight."

"Thank you," Mitchie smiled looking up at Jesus. "For everything." She told him leaning up on her tip toes and pressing her lips to his cheek.
