So this idea just sort of popped into my head the morning of the episode where Callie goes to meet her half-sister. It is based purely on what I wish could happen.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Fosters.
I wake up to the sun streaming in my window. I look over to see that Marianna is already gone and her bed is made, also there is no noise outside my bedroom door which is odd. There is no way they actually let me sleep in for a change is there? I doubt there is any way they would ever let me sleep in after what happened at the Quinn house last night; I feel so bad about disappointing them all, but this seems like the only logical solution to all my problems. We finally found a way that maybe I can have everything I want; finally things look as if they are going to go my way.
While I sit in bed contemplating what happened the night before, and how I'm going to tell Jude, the twins and… Brandon; the boy who was a main topic in the discussion that the moms and I had with Robert Quinn and his wife last night; especially considering he is the source of many of my problems. While I sit there enjoying what is probably my last few minutes of peace for the day I decide to check for any messages on my phone.
Unsurprisingly there is no message from Wyatt, we agreed that we were still going to be friends after we broke up but it's going to take time for us to get back to normal. I am surprised to see are multiple messages from Stef, first; "Morning Calls, Mama and I talked and decided after last night that you deserved a good sleep in so enjoy!", and then; "Just so you know you and B are going to be home alone today, We took Jude & the twins out for breakfast & then shopping for summer clothes, maybe this would be the perfect time for you to tell him about last night! Good luck! Love ya sweets"
After reading my messages I set my phone down and sigh. As excited as I am about telling him, I'm also really scared. With a sudden knock on my door, I realize that I'm out of time to really think about what I'm going to say. I wonder what the moms told him, or if they have said anything at all. After a minute of me not answering Brandon knocks on the door again, a little louder this time. I call out for him to come in.
The door slowly cracks open and he sticks his head in to speak. "Hey Calls, the moms left me a message saying that we were going to be alone today and that you might want to talk to me. They also said that we were on our own for breakfast since they took everyone else out. So since I was starting to get hungry waiting for you to come down, I decided to come up and ask if you wanted some of my amazing pancakes." He rushed out.
He was speaking so quickly that I barely caught everything he said. I sit there for a moment thinking about what he said and decide that I definitely want some of his pancakes but the moms are right, I should probably talk to him first and tell him about everything that happened last night.
"Yea I do want some pancakes, but the moms were right I do want to talk to you. Could we do that first?" I say, my voice starting to shake a little at the end.
"Of course, what do want to talk about?" Brandon looks a little nervous, wondering what I have to talk to him about. He was probably wondering what could possibly be so important that I would want to talk to him before eating something.
"Come sit down for a minute, I have to talk to you about what happened when the moms and I talked about last night when we went to see Robert Quinn about signing the papers about my adoption." I say gaining some confidence but still nervous. His face relaxes a little and comes to sit down beside me on my bed.
"So what do we need to talk about? Did he agree to sign the papers so you can finally officially be an Adams-Foster like the rest of us?" He asks, his voice teasing but with a slight twinge of disappointment.
I sit and think about what I want to say and decide that it is probably best if I just jump in; "Actually no, after we all talked we decided that Robert signing the abandonment papers and the moms adopting me is probably not the best option for us all." I begin and instantly see the confusion on his face.
He opens his mouth to speak but I continue on; "Rather than get adopted or continue with being fostered we decided that Robert would officially have guardianship of me." Brandon looks shocked and is ready to protest but I keep talking anyway. "I'm still going to live here though, we decided it is too late for him to try and be my father, and I don't want to leave Jude but I also don't want to not be a sister to Sophia." I finish that bit of my explanation and he looks really confused so I decide to let him talk.
"Wow Callie that is a lot to take in. It's nice that you want to try and be a sister to both Jude and Sophia but I don't understand why you couldn't hang out with Sophia if the moms adopted you. Also why did the moms think it was important for you to tell me this while we were alone?" The poor boy is now looking really confused so I decide to finish my story and tell him the about the part that involves him.
"Well, that's because since the moms and I have decided that I'm not getting adopted and I won't technically be their foster child anymore it means that if we want we can be together, like a real couple." I tell him slowly, and then I think about how only weeks ago I had told him that we could never be together and how I need a family more than a boyfriend so I decide to keep talking before he gets a chance.
"Look I know I said we could never be together and how we had to try and move on and be siblings but that is when I truly thought that. I never thought that there was any way that we could actually ever find a way to be together but after last night I discovered there is a chance that I can actually be happy and have both the family and the boy. I mean as long as I am still what you want." I finish, starting to rush my words out toward the end. I sit there for a minute letting him process what I just said.
Brandon just sits there for a few minutes; if he doesn't say something soon I think I might go crazy. After another few seconds he starts; "Callie, never has there been a moment in the last few weeks where I haven't been trying to find a way for us to be together and here you go and figure it all out in one night. You Callie Quinn Jacobs are one of the most amazing women I have ever met and of course I still want to be with you. I just can't believe that you found a way to make it all work." He finishes with a huge smile on his face and I can tell that he is happy.
I am so glad that I have telling Brandon about last night finished and now we can be together and start living our happily ever after. For a few minutes we both just sit there being happy. I still have to tell Jude that I'm not getting adopted and that is going to be one of the hardest things I will ever have to do but for today I am just going to try and be happy and be with Brandon.
We sit there for a few more minutes and then I lean into him and ask; "so, since we're together now does that mean I get to finally try some of your amazing pancakes?" He laughs, leans in and kisses my check and gets off the bed.
"Your wish is my command" he says as he bows down and heads down the stairs to start making breakfast. I sit there for a few more minutes smiling and then head down stairs to wonderful pancakes and a wonderful boy who just happens to love me.
If you got to this point it means that you either read all of it or you just skipped to the end. Either way thanks for actually taking time to look at my first story, its greatly appreciated. I am a huge Fosters fan and I live for Monday nights and love Brandon and Callie together.
Whether or not you liked it I would love for everyone to take the time and write me a review, then I can know what was good about it and if I should continue it or I can learn what to do better next time. Thanks!
