By the time the guests had left, the backyard had been cleaned up, and the kids were set for the night, Lena and Stef were still marveling over how amazing the day had been. They both changed into pajamas and went through their nighttime routine. As Stef walked back into their room after checking on all of the kids, she found that Lena was sitting on their bed, staring at two objects. Their marriage license was in one hand and the picture of them and the kids was in her other hand.

"I still can't believe it," Lena commented as Stef sat next to her on the bed.

Stef held her left hand up and wiggled it, showing off her ring. "Yep, it's official."

Lena smiled. "A piece of paper definitely isn't what makes our family real, but having it now... I feel incredibly normal in a way I never thought was possible." She leaned over and kissed her wife. "Thank you."

"Hey, the kids did all the work today. We were just along for the ride. Speaking of the kids, though... what's going on with Callie and Jude?"

Lena sighed. "I think we made a mistake."

"Letting them stay?"

She shook her head. "The way we did it. They are never going to feel safe or worth anything if they're always worried about when they'll have to leave. They deserve better. We have to do better."

Stef smiled. "I was wondering when we were going to have this conversation."

Lena blinked. "So... you're okay with this? I'm mean, you're the one who said you didn't want to be like the Brady Bunch."

"Mmm, and at that point I didn't even know Callie was part of a two-for-one special. But I've been warming up to the idea. It's hard to imagine this house without them now. Are you sure you're okay with it?"

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little terrified. Five kids is a lot to handle."

"We've never backed down from a challenge before."

"True."

Stef pointed to the picture in her wife's hand. "This is our family. Of seven. We all belong together."

"Okay. I'll call Bill on Monday."

Stef smiled as they curled up together on the bed. "Two kids is a pretty good wedding present for us to get each other, right?"

Lena laughed. "Definitely. I love you, Stef Foster."

"And I love you, Lena Foster."

Fin. (At least until the next story)
