Hey all! I thought of this idea a while ago but didn't really have the energy to write it, so I hope you enjoy!

"Hey, Lena. Thanks so much for coming on such short notice," Bill said, extending his arm out to the curly haired woman.

"Yea, of course," Lena replied, although she didn't sound too sure. She looked up at the large building surrounded by equally tall fencing.

Bill could sense the tension in Lena's voice. "She's in here for property damage. She's never had any problems before. She's never been violent," Bill began to reassure.

Lena just nodded as she followed the man towards the large gate. The buzzing sound pierced her ear drums, and she prepared herself for the young girl.

Her eyes widened as the face was much more familiar than she had anticipated.

"Callie?" Lena called, pushing past Bill as she sped up her pace.

Callie stopped in her tracks. She had to be imagining this. As she watched Lena get closer, she took a deep breath.

"Oh, Callie," Lena nearly cried out, now right in front of the young brunette.

Callie instinctively wrapped her arms around the slender woman, finally letting out the breath she had been holding. Her grip tightened as she felt Lena gently stroking the back of her hair.

The two pulled away and looked at each other, Bill watching at a distance, confused.

"I see you've met?" Bill finally called out.

The two let out a snicker. Callie thought back to three years ago, how happy her and Jude had been, before, again, the rug was pulled from under them. After the death of their mother and their father's incarceration, they had spent 3 years in foster system. They eventually reached the Foster's, and were on track to get adopted. That was until their previous social worker had gotten in contact with a very distant relative of the siblings, a great aunt from their mother's side. The two had been taken from the Foster's and sent to live with the strange woman in Sacramento, much to all of their dismay. They were surprised Bill didn't know this from her file, but both just assumed they didn't pay much attention.

"Yea," Lena began, wiping a stray tear from her face, "Callie and her brother were with us a few years ago, but there were family complications and they were taken from us. Jude, where is he?"

Callie looked at Bill for that answer. She had only spoken to Jude once since in juvie.

"He's still at the same home," Bill confirmed.

Lena saw as Callie's face stiffened with her posture.

"Is there any way we could see him? Get him back as well?" Lena questioned, wrapping her arm around Callie.

"I can look into it, but there isn't much that can be done until tomorrow. And Callie, you know you aren't allowed at the house," Bill reminded.

"I know, but-" Callie began before getting cut off.

"I'm sorry, Callie. I promise I will figure something out first thing tomorrow," Bill said.

Lena pulled Callie closer to her side.

"Thank you, Bill," Lena sighed.

"Of course. I'll be calling tomorrow. Are you guys all good to go?" He questioned.

Both nodded, and watched as the man walked back to his car.

Lena got in front of Callie, pulling the girl into another hug. The two stood like that for a few minutes, both still in shock of what had happened. Neither of them had anticipated seeing each other any time soon. Callie and Jude weren't permitted any contact with the Foster's when they were with their great aunt. She was a very strict woman; The first thing she had done when the siblings had gotten there was take away Callie's phone. Her very traditional and religious views caused a lot of problems. She didn't approve of Stef and Lena's relationship, and felt that she had to shield Callie and Jude from it. There were times Callie would sneak off with the house phone to try and call, but once she had been caught, their great aunt had changed the phone number and never let the phone out of her sight. It went on like this for almost a year and a half until she passed away suddenly from a heart attack, and the two were thrown back into the system, this time with a different social worker- Bill.

After what seemed like ages, the two pulled away. Lena cupped Callie's face in her hands, assessing the several injuries littering the girls pale face.

"What happened, baby? Are you okay?" Lena questioned quickly.

She brushed her fingers gently over the girl's cheek, causing Callie to wince slightly.

Lena apologized before kissing her on the side of the forehead.

"Mom is going to be so excited," Lena smiled, crying slightly at the wave of emotions she was feeling.

The word 'mom' echoed in Callie's head. She had grown comfortable calling both women 'mom' and 'mama', but it had been so many years since she had said it, let alone heard it.

They walked back to the car, Lena opening the door for Callie.

"New car?" Callie asked, as she looked around at the unfamiliar vehicle.

"Yea, the old one died on us on our way to Disneyland, actually," Lena chuckled.

Lena pulled out her phone as she buckled her seatbelt, quickly scanning her contacts for Stef's name. She hit the 'call' button, and held the phone up to her ear.

"HI, you've reached Stef. Sorry I can't get to the phone right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you."

Lena sighed as she tried Mike.

She was met with his voicemail as well.

"Looks like we're taking a trip to the station," Lena said.

Callie flinched at the thought. After spending 4 months in juvie, the last thing she wanted was to be surrounded by more police officers.

Lena noticed the sudden nervousness that came across Callie, and she placed her hand on the girl's knee.

"I know I don't know what has happened these last 3 years, and I know I don't know what happened to land you here in juvie, but it's gonna be okay. Can you trust me?" Lena tried.

Callie nodded. She knew she could trust the woman, but these few years had contained a lot of pain, and a lot of fear.

The pair drove in a comfortable silence for the 30 minute drive to Stef's work. Callie gazed out the window, taking in the surroundings as they grew more familiar to her. They passed the beach they used to go to on their family weekends. They passed her favorite restaurant, a small café on the corner of a busy street. They passed her school, and wondered about everyone she had left behind there. Mariana, Jesus, and Brandon were all there now, and that thought had her both excited and nervous at the same time.

Soon enough, they arrived outside the ever familiar station. Callie began growing more anxious at the thought of seeing Stef, but was quickly pulled out of her thoughts as Lena opened the passenger door.

"You ready?" Lena asked.

Callie just nodded as she hopped out of the car. They walked into the building, the sound of papers shuffling and walkie talkies filled the air.

Lena looked around the room, her eyes landing on Stef's empty desk.

"Come on," Lena instructed, leading them towards the captain's office.

Lena knocked, waiting to open the door until she heard the "come in", even though she was growing impatient.

Captain Roberts smiled as she saw Lena, but her mouth fell open as she saw Callie follow.

"Oh my!" She said, standing up.

Captain Roberts was very familiar with Stef and the whole family, and had helped Stef go through losing both Jude and Callie.

Callie smiled slightly. She had met the woman several times at family parties, work gatherings, things like that.

"You have no idea how good it is to see you, Callie. What can I do for you guys?" She asked, placing her hand on Callie's shoulder.

"We just needed to get in touch with Stef for…obvious reasons but her and Mike went to voicemail," Lena explained.

"Of course! I'll call her right now! Gosh, she's going to be so happy," Captain Roberts said, pulling her phone up to her ear as she dialed for Stef.

Callie looked around the small office, hearing Captain Robert's words to Stef cut in and out.

"She and Mike were on their way back. She said they'll be back soon. I didn't want to tell her why you were here though, Lena. I wanted it to be a surprise," She smiled.

Lena smiled as well. "Thank you so much."

The three waited for nearly 10 minutes before they heard the door open behind them. Normally Stef would knock, but normally, Lena wasn't in her boss's office, and she was worried something had happened to one of their kids.

"Le-" Stef began, before her eyes landed on the brunette in the chair looking back at her.

Stef gasped. She prayed to whoever was listening that this was real.

"Callie," She breathed out so quietly it was nearly a whisper.

Callie looked at the blonde and smiled as all her nerves from before vanished. She couldn't get out of her chair fast enough, nearly knocking it down as she flew up. Her arms found their way around Stef's waist, squeezing her so tight she thought her top half would pop off. Stef didn't mind, though, as she quickly wrapped her arms around the teen she had missed so much.

Stef wasn't one to cry much. She rarely showed emotion, this was known to nearly everyone who knew her. The only time she would let herself be vulnerable was when it came to her children or her wife, this being no exception. Tears fell down her face as she held the girl tightly against her chest.

Callie let herself relax into Stef's arms, taking in the smell of her long blonde hair. The smell had comforted her on her worst days. She remembered all the times she would go to Stef when she was upset, and Stef would just hold her until she fell asleep. It wasn't long until she felt Lena wrap her arms around the both of them. Captain Robert's couldn't help but smile as she watched the reunion.

As they pulled away from each other, Stef looked at the girl, her heart breaking at the injuries just as Lena's did.

"My baby. Are you okay? What happened? God, I've missed you so much," Stef let out in one breath, her emotions clouding her mind.

Callie didn't want to talk about it. Not here at least, not now.

Stef, even though she had been separated from the young girl for so long, could still read her like a book.

"We can talk about it at home, okay? We'll talk about it at home," Stef assured, rubbing her hand on Callie's shoulder.

Stef looked at Captain Roberts with a pleading look.

"Go on home Foster. Catch up with your daughter," Captain Roberts said with no hesitation.

Stef nodded in appreciation.

"Come on, let's go. I want to bring you home," Stef said.

Thank you for reading! The next chapter is going to be just the 3 of them talking at home and Callie adjusting!
