A Different Way To Finding Each Other

Time Jump: La Chona

Stephanie Marie Adams Foster got curious as she saw San Diego Chief of Police walk into Captain Roberts office as the door was shut and she got more curious. She knew it might be bad and went back to her work and started to do reports as her phone rang. It is the first week of November and the triplets seventh birthday passed.

Stef eyed her cell and wondered why Lena called her at this hour. It was nine in the morning and she knew it was bad. "Hi my love. What's wrong?" Stef asked.

"Does something have to be wrong?" Lena asked.

"Yes at this time. What is it?"

"The triplets are sick and they need to be picked up. I was going to call Robert, but he is on a business trip for the whole week."

"I will be there in fifteen," she replied. "Did you make them an appointment?"

"Yes with their new Doctor. Cassidy Ricks."

"What time?" Stef asked.

"Ten," Lena replied. 

"I'm leaving now," she said as she got her backpack and left and ended the call. "Armando. Mike can you tell the Captain I had to leave. The triplets are sick and Robert is out of town."

"Will do," Armando replied. Mike nodded.

"When are you going to start talking to me Mike?"

He gave her the cold shoulder. "Your my best friend," she replied. "We have twins together."

He nodded and went back to work. "You should be grateful I didn't tell the Judge about Ana."

"If roles were reversed and Lena was the convict I'd bet you anything you would tell the Judge in a heartbeat. I'm off and any lunch requests?"

"You know what me and Mike like," Armando said.

Stef nodded. "Got it."

Out of earshot, "You are acting like a dick."

"She knew where they were," Mike replied.

"And she had her reasons. Can you imagine if she would have told you?"

"Yeah I would have went," Mike stated. "I guess. But she can be happy and I can't?"

"She lied to me and our marriage broke up and I'm the bad guy?"

"You have changed with the twins when you met Ana and her twins. Stef has never changed with the boys when she met Lena."

Mike bit his lip. "But you have a point. You do get to be happy. But this woman has a record Mike."

"I know," Mike replied. "But I love her."

Stef picked up her sick triplets and carried both boys, while Lena had Callie and she helped Stef strap her in. "Call me," Lena replied.

"I will," Stef reassured her as she left and waved as Lena waved as she watch the GMC go toward Doctor Cassidy Ricks office and bit her lip.

In Cassidy Rick's waiting room, the triplets played with the activity cube as Callie felt her tummy. "Mommy I have to potty?" the girl asked.

"Okay let's go," she replied as the nurse let her in as all three kids followed and Callie tore it up as a river of diarrhea came out.

"GROSS!" Caleb replied as he wrinkled his nose.

"Caleb!" Stef warned as she eyed him and he eyed Callie's hurt look.

"Sorry Callie," he replied as he threw up all over the floor.

Stef sighed. This was going to be a long day. But she hated when her babies were sick. Right after, Callie was cleaned and wiped and changed into a diaper since her mommy always keeps spare ones around in the cars, both Callum and Callie threw up as well.
