A Different Way To Finding Each Other

"Why do you have to go undercover in a Women's Prison?" Lena asked as Stef came home from work with her new orders. The blonde sighed and eyed her wife.

"It's my job Lena!" Stef said upset. "I can't say no. It's like the military. Armando and Mike will be their too."

"I just. You already work all these hours as it is," Lena replied.

"Well we have nine kids to worry about, feed, clothe and provide for," Stef said. Lena bit her lip as they rose their voices as the kids were downstairs.

"Why are they fighting?" AJ asked.

"They aren't fighting," the older twins replied. "They are talking too loud," they both replied as they indicated their six younger siblings and AJ was clueless.

"Sounds like fighting to me," aJ said.

"Mama and mommy are fighting?" Callie asked scared. "They never do."

"They aren't fighting Callie," Brandon replied.

"Yeah. They are just pretending. Like we do sometimes in the playroom," Bradley said as AJ finally caught on.

"Yeah it's more like yelling and shouting," AJ replied.

"But they never yell or shout," Callie said. "Mama and mommy never do," she cried out as she ran to her playroom and slammed the door.

"You are a butt," the older twins added. 

In the master bedroom, the moms stopped their arguing. "Was that a door slam?" Stef asked as Lena nodded as they went to investigate. "What's going on?"

"Callie slammed her door," AJ replied.

"Why?" Lena asked. "She never does."

"AJ said you two are fighting upstairs," the older twins replied.

"Then I said it was more like yelling and fighting," he replied.

"Well we weren't doing neither of those things. We had an argument and married couples do."

"Mommy and daddy had arguments too," Jack replied. "Sometimes he left home and was gone for a few days."

"He was gone for a few days since he was on the cases, Jack," AJ replied. 

"Oh. Why?" Jack asked.

"Mommy never liked daddy's job in the FBI. She wanted him to go back to being a lawyer," AJ replied. "Why?" Jack asked.

"He would have been home more and it wasn't dangerous."

"Oh," Jack replied. "Mama. Mommy why did you have an argument?"

All the boys eyed their moms as they sighed. "FAMILY MEETING!"

"We need to get Callie first," their mama replied as they both went to their daughter's playroom and walked in and spied her in the corner with her legs to her chest and her head down as they clearly heard her crying.

They felt bad and never wanted their kids to think their arguments were fighting and they didn't think they were too loud, but to their oldest they were and as they eyed their crying daughter in a corner, they felt bad and would learn from this experience.

"Hi baby girl," Lena replied. "Mommy and I need to talk with you."

The girl looked up and nodded and got in between her moms on her sofa and they were in a Mama Sandwich and Callie came up with the term when they started to date and loved having a mama and a mommy.

"Why were you two yelling and screaming at each other? It scared me."

"We were having an argument and married couples do that," Lena replied.
