It was a typical Saturday morning in the Adams Foster household. Stef was the first one to arise, the children who were sleeping soundly next to Lena and herself. Stef noticed that her wife wasn't in bed, she quickly panic and jumped out bed quietly without disturbing Braylon and Nyla. Stef heard gaging noises coming from the bathroom. She knocked on the E-suite door, baby are you feeling alright
Stef asks Lena. When Lena didn't answer, she enter inside and found Lena hunched over the toilet. Stef turned and went downstairs to get Lena a cold bottle of water from the pantry. Stef knew it was one of those rare times, Lena would be sick from the chemo she received from the hospital yesterday. Today was supposed to be a happy occasion
So far, it wasn't. But it was still to early to determine how everything would play out. Stef went back upstairs to check on Lena, she found Lena laying down on the couch in their bedroom in a fetal position
She headed into the bathroom to get a wet wash cloth. Stef came out
And went over to Lena and squatted
Down in front of her love, she laid
The cloth across Lena's forehead
Lena grabbed Stef's wrist, babe tell me what do you need Stef questions Lena. Baby thank you for sticking by me, these few weeks. Lena told her wife, as tears ran down her cheek
Remember what I said in our vows
in sickness and health, l tend to keep every word l spoke to you on that day
We'll get through this. Stef replies
Lena smiles at the memory on their wedding day, Stefanie l'm gonna fight this. For you and our family Lena says weakly, Stef kisses Lena on the lips
Stef hates what this illness is doing to Lena. She wants today to be one the best days of Lena's life, love l brought some water. Stef said, thanks Lena responded in a soft voice. Baby just rest and l'll get breakfast started, cause I know once the kids wake up their going to be hungry. Kathleen is supposed to coming over, Stef says

Mama where's mommy she looks at me. With a questioning look on her face, baby mommies resting Stef States. Oh momma what are we having for breakfast, Nyla asked me

Stef waits patiently for her daughter's answer, mama can we make blue berry pancakes and fruit. Nyla inquires, we must certainly can
How about you and l go brush your teeth and washed up. You can help me with the food, Stef States. Nyla climbs out the bed. And follows me out the room and down the hall to the bathroom. After we were finished
Nyla and I went down to her bedroom

Lena says she takes after me, Braylon's is totally sandy brown and curly. It didn't take me long to get done, we headed downstairs to the kitchen to get breakfast started.
