A Different Way To Finding Each Other

Unexpected Deaths

"So Jack, mom and I got a call from Abigail and Bethany Potter Novak and they asked if we can have Ben and Tristan over for the night and we agreed," Lena replied.

"Really?" Jack asked. "This is so cool. Thanks moms. But?"

"They need to be on the couch. Four boys in the room won't do and they know already," Stef replied as he nodded. He remembered Tommy and didn't want to be rude and this was so cool of his moms. 

"I understand," Jack replied. "When do they come?"

"Friday night," Lena added. "They will be dropped off."

"Eric and Ella?" he asked of the fourteen almost fifteen year old twins.

"Will be with their dad," Lena replied. Eric and Ella Potter were the biological children of Bethany Potter Novak with her former husband, Eric Potter Sr. and their six year marriage after he caught her in bed with Abigail ended. Ben and Tristan are the bio children of Abigail via IVF.

"Papa agreed," Lena replied. Jack smiled wide.

The rest of the Adams Foster children and Callie's friends were on board and were okay with Ben and Tristan coming over. Minus Callie. "Can I go stay with grams and gramps?" Callie asked.

"Why baby doll?" Stef asked.

Lena bit her lip. "Is this about what Ben tried to do?"

"Yes and he is still mean to me at school. Why would you say yes?"

"It was mommy that did and it was too late to say no, baby girl," Lena replied.

"I don't want to be here. It's them or me," she replied as she ran to her Star Trek room.

"What is going on?" Stef asked.

"Well he did try to kiss her after knowing she's with Lexi," the big twins replied. 

"Well?" Lena asked her wife. "You promised and I didn't."

"I would pick Callie," Mike replied as the two women eyed him. 

"Why?" Stef asked.

"First she's your daughter and second that boy tried to kiss her by force. Stef how many teen girls and women are raped?" Mike asked. 

Jack wasn't mad at Callie. He expected it and could not blame her. What would he do if he had seen him try to kiss her?

Callie had a change of heart, "Mama, mommy can we talk?"

"Sure baby girl," Lena replied. 

"It wasn't fair of me to ask you to pick me over Ben and his twin brother. They can stay. I'll just stay out of the way."

"You are our daughter, baby doll," Stef replied.

"Then why would you say yes? For Jack? Just because Ben and Darby are his only friends you can't give in."

"Fair enough," the moms added. "We are going to call them."

"Don't. You can't do that at the last minute like Ben and Jack do."

"Are you sure baby girl?" Lena asked.

"Yes and it's just a few hours right?" Callie asked as they nodded. Jack smiled and knew Callie didn't have to do that.

Their girl left and Stef eyed her wife. "Never again Stef. Don't go behind my back like this," Lena replied. "This was not cool."

Stef nodded as Lena made three huge pots of pasta, baked bonesless/skinless chicken and salad with rolls and put butter out with drinks as the kids all came to the table for dinner with Nate, Timothy and Papa Thomas.
