Chapter One
It was the longest three minutes of Callie's life. Each second that went by made her more and more anxious. When the three minutes were over it felt like a year had gone by. Callie stared at the pregnancy test sitting on the sink, as she reached for it her hands began to shake, they began to shake even more when she put the pregnancy test up to face. When she saw the result she quietly put the pregnancy test in the bin.
Positive. Two weeks.
It had been exactly two weeks since Brandon and Callie had sex. It was shortly before Callie got adopted into the Foster- Adams family. She wanted to put what happened that night behind her but knowing that she was pregnant made that impossible. She didn't know whether to cry or smile; it was bittersweet news. A million thoughts ran through her head. If Stef and Lena knew she was pregnant with Brandon's child then that would ruin the dream she had always wanted: to feel safe and loved and with Stef and Lena she finally got her wish. They would know that she lied to the Judge when he asked if anything was going on between her and Brandon. All of a sudden there was a knock on the door, she froze. "Callie you've been in there for over ten minutes I need to go!" she felt relieved that Jude was outside the door and not the others as they would know something was wrong. Without saying a word Callie quickly unlocked the door and went to her sanctuary; her bedroom where she forgot to close the door. She sat on her bed in a ball trying to think of what to do next. She could abort the baby but she didn't have the heart, she then moved on to the idea of giving birth to the baby and then putting it up for adoption... but she didn't have the heart to do that either as she didn't want her child living the life she lived before she got adopted. "Are you ok?" she jumped out of her skin when she turned and saw Brandon standing in the doorway with his arms folded, he must have been there for a good two minutes watching her. "Yeah... no... I don't know" she watched as Brandon unfolded his arms and walked over to her bed and sat on the edge of it he sighed and continued to stare at her. "Your not fine. Something's bothering you what is it?" Callie breathed in deeply, constantly opening then closing her mouth, it took her a good minute to form a sentence. "I'm pregnant." Silence filled her bedroom she shared with Mariana, Brandon's mouth formed an O; it was obvious that he was speechless. "Are you sure?" Callie nodded "I just took a test. Exactly two weeks." Brandon slowly nodded "okay... okay. That's- we can make this work." Callie raised both her eyebrows in surprise "your not worried about what Stef and Lena are going to think?! Brandon. Were brother and sister" "adopted brother and sister" he said as he interrupted her. "Sure moms would be disappointed but your carrying their grandchild. My child. They'll get used to it. Callie- I love you." Callie laughed "are you crazy?! This could affect me staying here in this house. And we are not supposed to be in love with each other. Ever since I became apart of this family we are only allowed to have a sibling relationship and last time I checked siblings do not get each other pregnant!" another silence occurred, but during this silence Brandon reached for Callie's hand and tightened his grip. "I don't care about that. I love you and I know you love me otherwise you wouldn't have- you know." Callie broke away from Brandon's grip and stormed out of her bedroom leaving Brandon.
"Jude why is Callie sitting outside by herself?" Jude shrugged "I don't know. She's been acting weird since this morning. But Callie gets like this sometimes its best if you just leave her." Stef nodded "yeah but this time I'm going to talk to her. See if she's ok." Stef opened up the door which lead to the garden and joined Callie on the patio and stared at the clouds with her. "What's wrong?" Callie didn't respond. "You can tell me. I'm your mom. Whatever it is I can help you-"
"A couple of weeks ago Brandon and I had sex and now I'm pregnant."
Stef's eyes widened and she quickly stood up. "Pregnant?!" She took a step back. "Oh Callie..." Stef quickly took Callie into the dining room and told Jude, Jesus and Mariana to go upstairs so when Lena got home from grocery shopping both of them could talk to Callie and Brandon. It was one of the most awkward moments that Callie had ever experienced, Stef decided to also call Mike since he was Brandon's father and when both Lena and Mike arrived it became even more awkward. Callie watched as Lena and Mikes faces dropped once Stef told them what she told her. It was a mixture of shock and disappointment. Just like Callie predicted. "Now this is very serious. Callie your seventeen and your pregnant... how could both of you be so stupid?! You have your whole lives to get pregnant but not when your still in high school. A baby is a huge responsibility. Not to mention that your newly adopted brother and sister!" Lena placed her hand on top of Stef's hand as a signal for her to calm down. "We can't say were pleased. We do have to make choices- difficult choices. Look its late and we'll talk about this in the morning once everyone has had time to get their head round the news. Brandon, Callie you are excused." Mike cleared his throat "before you run upstairs I want to say something. I can't say I'm pleased for you but whatever you decided all of us with support you. Every step of the way." Brandon nodded in appreciation. "Thanks dad... It means a lot."
