A Different Way To Finding Each Other

Not Your Fault

"Remember boys we all have our man night at our dads mansion," Caleb and Callum added as his brothers nodded. Brandon and Bradley sighed since their dad wasn't able to go since he had no one to watch the twins.

Stef sighed as she eyed the look of her twin boys faces and was mad at Mike and hurt for her boys. But he had two other kids that needed him too and she needed to realize that as Mike texted her yet again as she ignored it. She was not going to watch his and Ana's twins since she has the weekend off for a reason and not backing out of her plans.

"Alright boys. Robert will be there to pick you all up as well as Alexander and Christian," Stef replied. 

"Baby girl  you need to go to extended daycare, grams will pick you up," Lena replied. The girls nodded and went back to eating breakfast.

"And remember you are all going on your field trip to the local shelter," Lena said. Matthew, Max, Caleb, Callum and Callie nodded as they ate their breakfast.

"Mama do you really have to leave?" Callie asked.

"I do and it is a conference for all advanced teachers who teach advanced grades."

"Why not Timothy?" Callie asked about her third grade teacher.

"He went a few weeks back," she replied. Callie nodded in a sad way as Lena kissed her cheek.

"Am I chopped liver?" Stef asked.

"I can't rely on you right now," Callie sassed back. Stef bit her lip and could not blame her baby doll at all. 

At school, Timothy was on the bus as all his students got on as Lena and fourteen other teachers left toward Pasadena till Monday. 

On the bus, "We are going to the local shelter and these kids are either homeless or in foster care and these water resistance backpacks filled with toys, books, school supplies and hygiene items will make their year."

"And we even got last minute plush characters," Mr. Martin Fitzgerald replied. The kids nodded as the bus made it's way toward Mary Todd Hope Shelter for foster and homeless youth as the bus stopped and parked.

The kids in Timothy and Martin's classes were all a tad bit scared as they got off the bus and waited on the sidewalk for their teachers as two women came out to see them.

"Welcome to Mary Todd Hope Shelter. I'm Joyce Miller and this is Jayne Miller. We run the shelter and most of the kids are foster youth who can't be in a foster home or group home for various reasons."

The kids nodded and each had a buddy as they walked in. It was a bright May 1st day and a Friday morning as they walked in.

Timothy and Martin went to take all the backpacks in the back as the two advanced third grade classes stayed in the front as they waited for their teachers to come back.

The foster and homeless youth eyed all the students as one of them eyed the students from Anchor Beach Community Charter School and was curious. "We have visitors," Bella Morton replied as Mariana eyed them and her eyes went wide and her mouth hung open as she made her way over to one of the girls she knew and she blamed for her current predicament as she ran over.

"Mariana!" Bella replied as the almost eight year old girl came to see Callie.

"Uh no!" Caleb replied as he eyed Mariana Gutierrez. "Callie watch out."

"What?" she asked as she was knocked on her ass and went over a table.

Bella went to get Joyce and Jayne and the two women shot out like runners in a Cross Country race and helped Callie up and hauled Mariana by her arm.
