Jesus is severely injured in the car accident and Stef and Lena must learn to get past it and help him and Mariana move on as well.

(A merge of two requests - one by a guest where Stef tells Lena about the accident and the other a request by Balmz where Jesus is disfigured during the accident that causes stress for both him and Mariana.)

"Let me guess, you're stuck doing paperwork all night." Lena said when she saw Stef's name flash across the screen just twenty minutes after she left for the accident site.

"Um... Lena." Stef choked, trying not to break down until she said what she'd called to say.

"What's wrong?" Lena asked, hearing the stress in Stef's voice.

"The, um, accident" Stef began. "It was the twins."

"What?" Lena asked, instantly worrying. "Are they okay? Are they hurt? Where are you? Let me talk to them."

"They're loading Jesus and Ana into ambulances now. Mariana seems to be okay but I want her checked out as well." Stef tried to explain as much as she could in the few seconds she had before she had to jump into the ambulance with her son and daughter.

"What's wrong with him?" Lena asked, panicking herself. She needed answers and she needed them now and until she got them she wasn't going to catch her breath.

"I don't know." Stef answered honestly. "He's unconscious and his leg is definitely broken and his face is covered in glass."

"What hospital are they taking him to?" Lena asked as she turned off the oven and headed for her purse and keys. "I'll bring Callie and Jude and meet you there."

"Sacred Cross, honey I gotta go they're ready to leave." Stef said hurriedly before hanging up before Lena even had a chance to respond.

"What's going on?" Lena asked Stef as she ran into the emergency room waiting room where Stef was pacing back and forth like a caged lion.

"Jesus is up in surgery." Stef answered giving Lena a hug. "They need to take out all the glass and set his ankle straight. Mariana is having a bunch of scans to rule out any internal bleeding but other than that she seems fine, just shaken up."

"What happened Stef?" Lena asked, desperate for some explanation.

"I'm not sure myself." Stef admitted. "I didn't have too much time to find out but they're working on it." Stef answered.

"Well, tell me what you do know?" Lena asked, wanting at least whatever her wife was aware of.

"A car cut the light and rammed into the passenger side of the Volvo." Stef said. "Jesus was right there and the window shattered and embedded into his face and his leg was stuck under the dash."

"How long will his surgery be?" Lena questioned, glancing at her watch.

"They weren't sure." Stef said regretfully. "They had to first see the extent of his injuries though they said three to five hours at least."

"But Mariana's okay?" Lena asked for confirmation.

"She must have been sitting behind Ana because she was standing on the side when I got there. They had just dug Jesus out and were wheeling him into the ambulance." Stef explained.

"What about Ana?" Lena finally asked. The woman was definitely not top on her list but she was still a part of their family and she wanted to know.

"She in the OR for delivery." Stef answered. "The steering was rammed into her stomach and the baby wasn't moving. They're doing emergency surgery but it doesn't look good." She admitted.

Lena visibly cringed - was this the second baby she was about to lose? Was she going to lose more of her children as well?

Stef watched as Lena's face crumpled and instantly pulled her into a hug. "We're going to be okay." She whispered softly. "We'll get through this."

It was only then that Stef remembered her other two children standing behind Lena, listening to everything Stef had said. They were just as worried about their brother and sister and they were just as scared.

"Babies." Stef said, letting go of Lena and opening her arms for the two of them.

"Are they going to be okay?" Jude asked in a small voice. He'd lost enough of his family and he just couldn't bare to go through it all again.

"Of course." Callie assured before Stef could answer. "She knew what Jude was feeling and there was no way she wasn't going to protect him as much as she could.

"The doctors are doing everything they can." Stef assured though she gave Callie a warning look. It was one thing to try and protect her brother but it was an entirely different thing to give him false hope.

"Why don't we have a seat." Lena suggested, finally gaining back her composure. "We don't know how long we're going to have to wait so let's get comfortable." They all knew that comfort was the last thing on everyone's mind right now but it was better than just standing around and waiting.

"MAMA" Mariana squealed as Stef and Lena made their way to Mariana's trauma bay after her scans.

"Baby." Lena said, rushing to her daughters side to give her a hug.

"How is she?" Stef asked the doctor from right behind Lena.

"Lucky." The doctor answered honestly. "She's suffered minor scrapes and bruises considering the accident she was in. We need her to stay overnight and we're giving her a drip as precaution but if there are no complications and nothing shows up then she'll be free to leave tomorrow."

"And you're checked everything?" Lena asked worriedly.

"Down to her little toenails." The doctor offered good natured-ly. He'd seen all types of parents over the years and each one always wanted to know that every possible injury had been checked for and these two were no exception.

"Thank you doctor." Stef said as she stroked her daughter's hair lovingly.

"Jesus?" Mariana asked as she looked between her mothers.

"He's in surgery." Stef answered honestly. There was no point in trying to sugar coat anything - Mariana had already seen the state he was in at the site itself.

"Is he going to be okay?" The child asked with wide, worried eyes.

This time it was so much harder for Stef to answer honestly and she could see why Callie was so desperate to protect her brother. But she knew that false hope would do no good in the long run and so she opted for the same vague answer.

"The doctors are doing everything they can." She answered as honestly as she could, stroking her hand up Mariana's arm, trying to comfort her as much as she could.

Tears filled Mariana's eyes as she glanced at Lena. "I'm scared." She said, sounding like the child who'd first come into their home nine years ago. "Mama, I want to go home." She said through her tears.

"I know love." Lena smiled sadly as she climbed onto the bed to hold her daughter. She wanted the very same thing - to go home and take her entire family with her.

"I'll go check on the others." Stef said when she saw Mariana melt into her mother's arms. They were just as afraid and needed a mom just as much and with Mariana taken care of she'd be there for the other three.

"What happened?" Brandon asked as soon as he saw his mother enter the waiting room and head towards them.

"There was an accident." Stef explained but before she could continue Brandon interrupted.

"I know that." He said in frustration. "What's happening to the twins?" He clarified. He'd been called by Callie and come as soon as his audition was over and he'd been here for ten minutes now and had been filled in with what the other's knew and now he wanted further details.

"Mariana seems to be fine." Stef explained. "Jesus is in surgery. He was hit pretty bad." She answered honestly.

"But he's going to be okay right?" Brandon asked directly, desperate for the assurance.

Stef looked away. There wasn't an answer for that and she knew that Brandon knew it too.

"What about Ana?" Mike asked, making his presence known to Stef.

"Delivery." Stef answered. "The baby wasn't moving and they needed to get her out."

Mike nodded. "Have you seen her?" He asked, knowing that she would have been a whole lot more worried about her kids.

"We haven't had a chance to see her or Jesus." Stef said. "They were both wheeled up to surgery minutes after getting here."

"Can we see Mariana?" Callie spoke up. If she was okay then they wanted to see her and know for themselves.

"She's resting with mama right now." Stef explained. Mariana needed to take it easy and she was already stressed about Jesus and having another four people surrounding her wasn't going to help her nerves any. "When she wakes up okay." She said, knowing that it was just as worrying for them as well.

"What about the other car?" Lena asked softly from the bed.

It had been three hours and Mariana had finally fallen asleep in Lena's arms and Stef was sitting in a chair by her bed. Mike had taken the other three children home and would stay with them until Sharon flew in in a few hours. He would then come back to help out with Ana and the twins.

Stef looked away for a moment, unsure of how to answer that question. She'd asked and hadn't liked the answer she'd received and she knew Lena wouldn't like it as well. Her friends had assured her that they'd look into it but until then she had to just sit and wait and Stef hated just sitting and waiting and now she seemed to be doing it a lot.

"Stef?" Lena questioned, noticing the conflict on Stef's face.

Stef opened her mouth to answer but before she could even begin the door opened and in walked Jesus' surgeon.

Author's Note:

A new multi chapter story that will be updated as much as possible. I hope you guys enjoy it. I don't actually have a plan yet except for what was requested so I have no idea how long it's going to be.

All medical information is made up based on Grey's Anatomy so things may not be accurate - my apologies.

I still have a few requests lined up and people have asked if I'm still going to do them. I am so please be patient. It's really hard for me to find time to write every day. I will definitely get to them - that's a promise.

I hope you enjoy this story.

Love Junebug.

PS: A quick shout out to those who always ask after my daughter. It's really nice of you guys to think of her and it means so much to me. She seven months now and doing extremely well and sometimes I feel like she was born only yesterday while other times I feel like it was years ago. Like they say - The days last forever but the years fly by.
