A Different Way To Finding Each Other

A Lost Home

Mariana Alma Gutierrez was seen by a couple that had a set of triplets. Two girls and a boy and decided to foster the girl and Mariana's caseworker didn't know that she could not be in a foster home if the foster parents have daughters older or younger. The family also had a set of twins, a boy and a girl.

Alice White took Mariana to the home of Janelle and Kimberly Anderson Stevenson and the girl was happy she had a home and Rita had warned her to get along for her own well being and Mariana scoffed. "I got it Rita. I know."

Rita nodded and eyed the girl leave and hoped she did her best and not screw up and she always told the girls to do their end of the bargain. Well Mariana was in fact Mariana and she didn't care what others told her to do or how to act. She did what she did because she wanted too. She hated her life and hated being a foster child in the foster care system. She hated her mommy and her mommy's family, as well as Mike, her own twin Jesus who had a new family to call his own and forgot about her.

She hated Callie since it was her fault she can't be in a foster home if parent's have daughters and Rita told her it was her own fault and not others. "Mariana others aren't responsible for your bad choices and how you act. Remember that."

Mariana rolled her eyes as she remembered when Rita told her that shit as Alice White took her to her new foster home. Mariana was getting a guest room on the first floor and the couple had a set of triplets that were born to Janelle who are eleven and a set of twins who were born to Kimberly that are eleven. Mariana was the youngest at seven going in eight.

Mariana was ushered into the home of Janelle and Kimberly Anderson Stevenson. 

"Kids!" Janelle called out as they came to see the foster girl.

"This is Mariana Gutierrez," Kimberly added. 

"Mariana these are twins Daniel and Deanna and they are eleven. I gave birth to them," Kimberly replied.

"And these are our triplets, Carter, Harper and Parker. They are eleven and I gave birth to them," Janelle added. "Carter and Harper are girls and Parker is the boy."

"I'm Mariana. I'm seven going on eight."

"Welcome to our home," the five Anderson Stevenson kids replied. Mariana nodded as she eyed her three foster sisters and two foster brothers. The kids went to their rooms, while the moms went to show Mariana her room and tell her the rules of the house. The took it all in as they left her to admire her new room and sighed. The five Anderson Stevenson kids had their own rooms and Mariana got the small guest room.

Carter, Harper and Parker were in the backyard as the eleven year old triplets tossed a ball to each other as they talked. "She seems nice," Harper replied. Carter and Harper are girls and Harper is called baby girl by her mama Janelle and Deanna is called baby girl by mommy Kimberly. The kids all go to Anchor Beach and in the sixth grade advanced class and will start the seventh grade in the new school year. It is March and the twins and triplets are good friends with Brandon and Bradley Foster and AJ Adams Foster. Harper is called baby doll by both her moms. 

Janelle is mama and Kimberly is mommy.

Janelle and Kimberly each had IVF done at the same time and they decided who ever took. They were shocked that they both took and the moms were scared to be honest. But they were pregnant at the same time and they loved it.

The twins are older by  three weeks and are the oldest and Kimberly was happy as she gazed at baby Daniel and baby Deanna. Janelle smiled as she eyed her first son and first daughter. Three weeks later, Janelle gave birth to Carter, Harper and Parker.

In their master bedroom, "Did we do the right thing?" Janelle asked.

"About?" Kimberly asked.

"Mariana. Taking her in?" Janelle asked.
