A/N: Hey! Here with another fosters story, Switched. This is a little bit like Switched at Birth in terms of premise, but it is also completely different. I haven't actually watched a whole lot of it so all ideas are my own. Some things might leak over from both the Fosters and switched at birth, but this is its own idea NOT a crossover. It is a Fosters story, and not going to be a Brallie. Now that the technicalities are outta the way, hope you enjoy.
Prologue
Callie's POV
What makes a family? If you would have asked me that question three months ago, I would have known exactly how to answer. Family is my brothers playing basketball in the yard. Family is my mom and I baking chocolate chip cookies, traveling across the city to go to yet another open mic night, my dad coming home late and still finding time to help us with our homework. Family is getting by and being there for each other, despite not always having everything we would want, but having everything we could possibly ask for. If you saw a photograph hanging on our apartment wall, would you believe we were a family? I did, until science class changed everything we thought we knew.
Brandon's POV
What makes a family? That's a hard question. I don't exactly have the most conventional family, not by a long shot: three parents all trying to have a say that don't always agree, two sisters with opinions that could provide enough material for six talk shows and a brother that causes enough trouble for both of us. I always thought I was different from them, and it wasn't until I met Callie and our whole living situation turned into a sitcom that I finally realized. Family isn't all white picket fences.
A/N: So, what did you think? Should I continue? This is going to be in first person, we'll be hearing from each character in their own voice. Brandon and Callie centric, but we'll get other POVs too. It also includes two OCs, Taylor and Matt. We will meet them in the first chapter. Let me know what you think y'all!
