A Different Way To Finding Each Other

Stick And Stones Can Break My Bones. But Words Can Never Hurt Me!

Callie Elizabeth Adams Foster was up and ready for school and went to the master bedroom so her mama can dress her and make a braid. "Mama?" Callie asked.

"In the shower baby girl," her mama replied. "Come in."

Lena was showering and came out and had her towel wrapped around her waist as she kissed her girl on her forehead. "Good morning pretty girl."

"Morning mama. Can we have Cream of Wheat?"

"We sure can and it is simple to make," Lena replied as she was dried and dressed. "Let's get you dressed as she got a few wipes and wiped her daughter's private area and changed her into a clean underwear and put her clothes and shoes on.

"I'm worried and scared for today mama. What if kids stare and make fun of me?"

"Kids will always stare baby girl and if they make fun of you. It is because they have nothing to say."

"A braid?" Callie asked. Lena's heart broke for her baby girl and she sighed and counted to ten.

"I can't baby girl. You need your hair back and it will come back," Lena replied as Callie nodded and felt like a complete idiot. The girl felt dumb and stupid.

Lena kissed her forehead as Callie tried to smile.

At breakfast, the boys came down followed by Callie's friends and Nate and Papa Thomas. 

"Morning boys," Lena replied. "Morning girls."

"Morning mama," they replied.

"Morning Auntie Lena," they replied. Stef and Nate came in.

"Morning wife and babies," Stef said.

"Morning mommy," the boys said.

"Morning babe," Lena replied. 

Nate grinned. "Smells good."

"It sure does," Lena replied. "It sure does," she said as she served everyone and Papa Thomas smiled.

Jack eyed Callie. "So Callie where is your braid?" he asked. All the commotion at the table got quiet as Stef and Lena got up in shock.

Callie bit her lip and Lena smiled as Callie went back to eating. "Good mama."

Jack was getting mad now. "Where is your braid?"

"ENOUGH YOUNG MAN!" Stef snapped. "ENOUGH!"

"Oh wait? You can't have a braid yet? No hair my bad baldy."

Callie ate her food. "Can I have more mama?"

"Sure baby girl," Lena replied. Nate grinned. Papa Thomas grinned. 

Jack was getting mad since Callie wasn't getting mad or hurt and he was being ignored. He was super mad and upset. He pulled Callie's Star Trek knit cap off. He grinned and smiled.

"Can I have it back please?" she asked. 

"I can't hear you," he replied as Stef got up. 

"We all heard Callie and give it back to your sister," Lena replied. "NOW!"

He gave it to her and she took it and put it back on. "So when's the Radiation?"

Callie bit her lip and left as the adults in the room just stared at Jack in shock as they eyed him. The moms were upset as they eyed Jackson Bailey Adams Foster. What was going on with there son and they had an appointment to see Douglas Maynard in a three days as Lena sighed.

"I just added two more weeks now," Stef replied. "Understand?"

"Yes mommy," he replied. Stef sighed and nodded as she turned to look for Callie and she was gone and so was her backpack. "Where's Callie?"
