Fosters: Blackhawk
boy
Max."  He pulls a treat from his vest and feeds it to the
dog.  Tess is smiling the whole time.  She's so damn
cute.  
    I give her and Sally a hug and pet Max.  He
helps calm her.  He deserves a pet.  "Thank you again
Tess.  I can't wait until you meet Christian.  He's going
to love you."  She's beaming.  I laugh.  So friggin
cute!
    Sally pulls her to the door, "I love your
house."  She says as she's being pulled out the door.
 
    Danny laughs.  "She's so fuckin cute. 
My boys are lucky men."  
    "Boys?"  As in more than one.  Like
Mitch?
    He looks at me and smiles.  "Yeah. 
She's married to both of them, one's biological the other adopted
us.  Me and the President of the MC are married to my
wife.  It's in the water or something."  
    I laugh.  "I have enough trouble navigating
with one man, I can't imagine two.  I'd screw it up for sure."
 
    He looks like he's debating something.
 "Some people need protection and love in different ways, I'm
going to guess Christian will be one of those.  We have a
whole Club that protects what's precious to us but some of our
women and men are special like Tess.  They need extra."
 He's watching me.
    "My aunt taught me about the Indigo and Crystal
people.  I've never talked to anyone about it before and I've
done it twice within the last twenty four hours.  I understand
about the warriors and seers.  I never realized there were so
many in our town."  I can't help but smile.  
    "Your aunt must have been special too."  He
says as he walks to the door.  "Your alarm code is your aunts
old phone number.  The last five digits.  Everything I
told you today is on your computer desktop, the file is called
'house'.  I need to pick up the boys from school.  I'll
meet you back here in an hour."  He walks out.  Wow.
    I look at my watch.  I have a half an hour
to get to the middle school.  I walk through the first
floor.  Stopping at Joey's room I cry.  She's going to
love it.  She deserves this.  Christian will be so happy
for her.  I go out to my brand new van and find the keys in
it.  It's beautiful like everything else.  We need to
send thank you's to everyone.  
    I get to the school and park.  The kids
won't know the van so I walk to the pickup area and get them. 
We walk out to the van and Joey screams, Brantley and Taylor are
jumping around.  I laugh.  "Come on my little people;
let's go see our new house.  You're going to love it."
 Joey gets the ramp down, then up in no time.  She laughs
the whole time.  God I love her.  
    I pull into the garage and watch Joey get
herself out of the van.  Brantley and Taylor watch with big
smiles.  They are great kids.  I make them use the front
door.  Joey cries all the way across the porch.  Brantley
hugs her, "They made it good just for you Joey."  I hear him
say softly.  I have my own tears falling.  He's a special
boy.  I can't believe how much I love my kids; it always hits
me when they're lifting each other up. 
    I turn watching Danny pull in.  The boys
come running out.  Three boys from soccer walk over to us
smiling.  I sign 'hello' and 'welcome' to Darren.  He
smiles signing back. 
    "We're always surprised how many people sign."
 Jessie says.  
    "It's important to make everyone feel special,
even if it's just to talk.  I had a deaf girl for a
while.  We all learned to sign so she could be an important
part of our family.  It matters."  I tell them.
    Little Ben nods, he's always very intense but
today he seems more so.  Darren thanks me for including
him.  Danny laughs.  "Let's get them into the house so
they don't die from anticipation."  Jessie signs to
Darren.  He smiles nodding.  
    Christian comes over and hugs me then Joey.
 "Are you ready Joey?  You'll finally have the room of
your dreams.  It's better than what you drew.  It's going
to make you stronger.  Let's go see it."  I look around
at everyone.  I can't believe he's talking to her like that
