"Brandon!" Stef calls from the kitchen. Stef smiles when she hears tiny feet across the floor and turns to watch her 4 year old son slide in the kitchen with his socks. His slide comes to and end when he hits the counter and falls on the floor. Stef watches as the little boy lays on the floor and giggles. A smile forms across her face as the giggles get louder and Brandon sits up and looks at her.

"Did you see that one mommy?!" Brandon asks excitedly.

"Yes sweetheart I saw that one, and the one before that, and hey guess what?!" Stef asks as she kneels down to Brandon's eye level.

"What mommy!?"

"The one before that too!" Stef says causing laughter to erupt from Brandon. Stef laughs with him before standing up and placing her hand on his head.

"You ready for a snack buddy?" Stef asks as she walks to the cabinet and looks at it's contents.

"I want to wait for grandma to get here." He says as he climbs on his chair at the kitchen table.

"Ok, that's fine." Stef says as she returns to the dishes.

"Mommy?" Brandon says grabbing her attention.

"Yes." Stef says turning around.

"Why do we have to have half Spider-Man and half Rapunzel party?" Brandon asks looking at her. Stef walks over to him and smiles lightly.

"Brandon we've had this talk already. You and Callie are twins and share the same birthday." Stef explains.

"I know that mommy." Brandon says in a matter of fact tone.

"Then what's the problem?" Stef asks wrinkling her forehead.

"We had different parties last year."

"Well that's because Jamie was here last year." Stef says referring to her ex.

"Why isn't she here this year?" Brandon asks frowning a little bit.

"We've talked about this buddy. Jamie decided that she wanted different things, so she moved out." Stef says explaining it as best as possible.

"Does that mean she's not coming to our party?" Brandon asks getting on his knees in the chair and leaning on the table.

"Not this time." Stef says wiping off the counter.

"Ok." Brandon says and Stef sighs as the front door opens.

"Hello?" Sharon calls out.

"Grandma!" Brandon gets off his chair and runs over to Sharon.

"Oh well hello birthday boy!" Sharon says when Brandon enters her line of sight.

"Grandma, did you get lots and lots of Spider-man stuff?" Brandon says starting to peak through the bags.

"Not so fast." Stef says as she walks over to the door. Brandon stops his peaking and looks over at his mom.

"You have a room to clean mr." Stef tells Brandon and he runs to the back and into his room.

"I think it's about time you think about sizing up." Sharon says as she takes the bags into the kitchen.

"Mom." Stef sighs as she picks up the rest of the bags and follows her into the kitchen.

"You have two growing children, I am just telling you, that you should think about moving into something bigger." Sharon says starting to unpack the bags.

"Mom, not that I wouldn't love to move into something bigger, I just don't have the money." Stef says pulling out paper plates and cups.

"What about the promotion?" Sharon asks placing the juice on the refrigerator.

"Even if I do get the promotion, it's still won't be enough to afford a new house and Callie and Brandon's school." Stef says balling up the plastic bags and putting them in their designated spot.

"Do you remember Dana and Stewart from book club?" Sharon asks taking a seat at the table.

"Book club? You went to like two of those."

"I went to five of them." Sharon says as Stef hands her a wine glass.

"Ok what about them." Stef says pulling out the bottle of wine.

"They have a daughter, who is the vice principle at that new charter school Anchor Beach. They say really amazing things about it. Plus it's really time you take them out that expensive school."

"That dad called in special favors to get them in." Stef says taking a sip of wine.

"Your father." Sharon waves a hand in dismissal. "It's pre-school Stefanie." Stef buries her hands in her hair and sighs.

"Ok mom I will check it out." Stef says as Sharon smiles.

"Good because I made you an appointment." Sharon smiles and slides out if her chair and grabs a piece of paper.

"Mom."

"Just go Stefanie." Sharon says as she sits back down. Before Stef can say anything in protest the door bell rings and Sharon gets up and answers it.

"Hello." She answers the door pleasantly as Angeline, Stef friend, is at the door with Callie.

"Hi just dropping off miss thing." Angeline says and Callie hugs Sharon's legs.

"Thank you Angeline." Sharon looks down at Callie and touches her head.

"Did you say thank you to Angeline?" Sharon asks Callie.

"If course, as always she was a perfect little lady." She smiles and looks back at her car. "It was great to see you Sharon but Sam is in the car so I have to get going. Tell Stef and Brandon I say hello." Angeline says as she waves to Callie.

"Alright take care Angie." Sharon waits until she gets into the car to close the door and helps her granddaughter out of her backpack and coat.

"How are you little miss?" Sharon asks hanging her backpack up.

"Good." Callie responds sitting down and pulling off her shoes.

"Hi baby girl." Stef says as she walks over to Callie and her mom.

"Hi mommy." Callie says as she stands up.

"Where is my hug?" Stef asks squatting down. Callie rushes over to Stef and hugs her tightly.

"How was your play date with Sam." Stef says kissing Callie's temple and pulling her back to look in her eyes.

"Good. We played monkeys." Callie reports and Stef smiles.

"Well my little monkey, your brother is cleaning up his room so you should probably go do the same to yours." Stef tells her and Callie nods before taking off to the back and towards her room. Stef stands back up and looks at her mom.

"What?" Stef says smiling slightly.

"What?" Sharon asks innocently.

"Why are you staring?" Stef asks as she turns to walk into the living room.

"I was not staring." Sharon says but Stef turns and gives her a look that melts the innocence from her face.

"Ok I was staring." Sharon states in surrender. "I am just so proud of the mother you became. He didn't just leave you pregnant with one baby, but two and you handled it wonderfully."

"You can say his name mom." Stef laughs but Sharon puts her hand up, which cause Stef to laugh harder.

"All he was good for was giving me two beautiful grand children and I wouldn't trade that for the world." Stef continues to laugh as Brandon and Callie make their way into the living room.

"Mommy I want a snack now." Brandon says as he climbs on the couch with Sharon.

"Anything in particular you want?" Stef asks as she pulls Callie on the big chair with her.

"Cheetos!" Brandon stands up and starting jumping on the couch causing Sharon to chuckle lightly at her silly grandson.

"No, no Cheetos. I don't want you to ruin dinner." Brandon's shoulders fall a little bit and he sits back down.

"Awwww." She smiles at her son who is curled up in Sharon's lap pouting.

"Apples, B. We can have apples." Callie says and Stef looks down at her daughter.

"That's a great suggestion love." Stef says before looking up at Brandon.

"What do you think kiddo?" Stef asks and Brandon nods sitting up. Stef nods and gets up to get the apples and Callie follows her.

"Mommy can I help?" Callie's asks and Stef smiles and nods.

"Of course my love." Stef says and she picks her up and sits her on the counter and gets the apples.

"Mommy, is daddy going to come this year?" Callie asks and Stef stops for a second before recovering and smiling at her daughter.

"Why do you ask love?" Stef says handing Callie a butter knife and a chunk of apple to cut.

"Because Samantha's mommy has a girlfriend like Jamie, but she sees her daddy all the time." Callie says cutting her apple carefully.

"Our situation is a bit different." Stef says clearing her throat and continues to cut.

"So he isn't coming?" Callie asks clarifying.

"Peanut butter or carmel dipping sauce." Stef asks trying to change the subject.

"Mommy." Callie says bringing her back to the conversation.

"What do you have to be so much like me huh?" Stef says walking over and tickling the young girls sides causing laughter to erupt from her.

"Because-" Callie all but yells as Stef continues to tickle her. Stef stops to hear her reasoning.

"I'm your daughter." Callie says and Stef smiles and places her hands on each side of Callie's head.

"Oh that's right." Stef smiles and kisses both of Callie's cheeks. "This huge head used to be in my tummy." Callie giggles and Stef's smiles fades slightly and she just admires her daughter.

"I love you. So so so so so so much." Stef says and Callie calms from her laughter and kisses Stef.

"I love you more mommy." Callie says and Stef laughs shakes her head.

"Oh it's not possible." Stef says and kisses Callie one last time before putting all the apple slices and the peanut butter on the plate and letting Callie down.

"Hurry before Brandon eats grandma." Callie says before running into the living room leaving a laughing Stef to carry the plate and the two sippie cups. As soon as she sets the plate and cups down on the coffee table, Brandon and Callie stop their tasks of wrestling Sharon and make their way to the food.

"So that's how you get thing 1 and thing 2, to leave you alone." Sharon laughs and looks at Stef.

"Everything will be ok Stef." Sharon says and Stef plasters on a smile.

"Mom I don't want to hear this speech from you again." Lena says as she walks to the kitchen of her small apartment.

"The one where I tell you, that you are about to have a baby and you are living in a one bedroom apartment." Dana says as she follows Lena.

"Yes that one." Lena says putting fingers to her temples to try to relieve tension.

"I am just looking out for you, that's all." Dana says as she sets the magazine she was holding down on the counter.

"And I appreciate it mom, I do, but I have the time." Lena tells Dana.

"Lena, pregnancy time moves faster than normal time." Dana says and Lena just chuckles.

"Mom that doesn't make since."

"To you maybe, but this is you first pregnancy."

"I know mom."

"Where is Gretchen anyways. She is supposed to be helping you find a new home for you and the baby." Dana asks as she looks around surveying the apartment.

"She is, um, you know, at work." Lena says trying to find an excuse.

"Work?"

"Yes mother work, otherwise known as a job." Lena says.

"It's Saturday."

"She has a demanding job mother."

"I haven't seen her in months." Dana says accusatory.

"Ya neither have I." Lena mumbles to herself before turning to face Dana.

"Why are you here again mom?" Lena asks sincerely.

"Do you remember Sharon and Frank?" Dana asks knowing her daughter is changing the subject.

"From book club? Ya."

"Their daughter Stefanie is throwing a birthday party for her twins and we were invited." Dana says as she fixes her scarf.

"Oh, that was nice of her to invite us." Lena says sincerely shocked.

"Sharon says she is sending her kids to that private school and she is looking for a new school to send them to. And I told her about Anchor Beach and scheduled an appointment for you and her to meet." Dana says and Lena raises her eyebrow.

"Wow, thank you mom."

"But it would be nice if you guys met before the meeting, that way it won't be so awkward." Dana says shifting in her seat.

"Thank you mom." Lena says as she places a hand on her growing belly.

"You should bring Gretchen." Dana says and Lena fakes a smile.

"I will see what her schedule looks like." Lena tells her and that seems to satisfy her for now.

"Love should be in a date planner my love." Dana says as she stands up and walks to the door.

"I know mom, thank you for the baby clothes."

"Of course." Dana says as she kisses Lena's cheek before leaving.

"Don't forget about the party." Dana calls back as she walks away and Lena shuts the door before leaning against it.

"Like you would let me."
