A Different Way To Finding Each Other

It's Okay To Be You

"Get up baby girl," Lena replied. "I have to show you and your two womb mates something," she added. Callie was in her pajamas and ready and she was indeed a morning person as she eyed her two womb mates who were not at all like her or her mama and mommy. They were tired and whiny as their mama walked them out to the backyard in Washington as they got on the porch swing in the backyard of Dana and Stuart Adams summer home. It is the weekend before Thanksgiving as they settled to see the sunrise. And it was too early for the two boys as they could barely keep awake as Lena cuddled her three baby bugs close.

Lena held her three baby bugs in her arms as they all eyed the sunrise together as she passed around Hot Vanilla to drink as her three baby bugs each took a mug to drink the Hot Vanilla from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. It was their favorite drink since they were five.

"The sunrise is pretty mama," Callie replied as her mama nodded. "Like you."

"You are pretty as well baby girl," Lena replied.

"We aren't pretty. That's for girls," Caleb added.

"Yeah," Callum replied. Lena nodded.

"You two are mama's handsome boys," she added.

"From what angle?" Callie joked and teased as she smirked. 

"Baby girl," Lena warned as Callie nodded. Lena arched her eyebrows.

"Sorry bubbies," Callie replied. "I didn't mean it."

"It's okay," they replied. "We all joke and tease you all the time."

As the sun rose, Lena eyed her only three bio children and grinned wide. She eyed her sons and how much they looked like their daddy and her gaze lingered on her baby girl and she sighed and wondered how much Callie had went through with Mariana and Destiny. It hurt Lena's heart more to see that her baby girl was going through something and how she hasn't come to her or anyone in her family for help.

"Here you four are?" Stef asked in a yawn as she eyed her wife and triplets. 

"Hi babe," Lena replied. "I got the triplets up to see the sunrise together."

"And it was great mommy," Callie replied. "Can we do it all the time here mama?"

"Sure baby girl?" Lena asked thankful that her daughter liked it. "Boys?"

"Um mama thanks for sharing it, but it's not our thing," they replied in yawns and sort of whiny. Lena nodded a tad bit hurt, but at least she got to share it with them. Lena smiled as she remembered her and Robert going out all morning to see the sunrises when they were little and how they did it every year and it was something they did all the time. 

The first time they made love in Las Vegas they watched the sunrise together and Lena wiped her tears and they hadn't made love or seen a sunrise in five years with him. They did a lot of things together and it hurt Lena that they were each in pain and having to sneak around to be with each other. 

Callie eyed her mama's tears as she glared at her brothers. "See. You two made mama cry."

Lena was snapped from her memories. "No baby girl. These are happy tears. At least you like to see the sunrises with me. It was something your daddy and I did all the time and at least one of you like to do it."

"Oh," Callie replied as she eyed her brothers still who felt a tad bit guilty. "You and daddy watched the sunrises all the time?"

"Yup. But it stopped after we had the marriage annulled."

"Well I'm glad we can do it together right mama?"

"Right baby girl," Lena replied as the sun was out and shining bright as Stef took a picture as the kids got all their blankets, pillows and plush characters as Lena got her things and Stef got all the mugs as they walked back into the house where Dana and Sharon were making breakfast with Raquel Quinn.
