During this hiatus, my brallie feels are still running wild and as is my imagination when it comes to them. Writing mini stories is just something that will hold me over until we get the show back. We're only about a month away! Which isn't so bad, but still. Here is some happy brallie instead of all the pain we've endured in those last few episodes. Enjoy!
This chapter follows Brandon and Callie on the evening before their wedding. This story will most likely consist of 3-5 chapters, going through the time before the wedding, the actual wedding and then possibly a bit of time on the honeymoon and after they come home (this could present a time jump). I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
Oh and there's some smut towards the end. So if you're not comfortable reading that you should probably stop reading, or you could just skip it.
Callie walked into her apartment after a long day of pre-wedding fuss from Mariana and Lena, who were very on the ball with this event. Callie appreciated that so much, but she missed her fiance and wanted to surprise him by coming home when she was supposed to be with Mariana for the night. She took off her shoes and her jacket before she made her way into her and Brandon's bedroom. Brandon was stepping out of their bathroom in just a towel when he spotted Callie standing in their doorway. He walked over to her and kissed her cheek before he pulled back and gave her a small smile.
"I thought you and Mariana were supposed to have a girls night before the wedding tomorrow." She leaned back on the door frame and held his hand in hers.
"I missed you and Mari promised to not tell mom that I came home if I get to her apartment bright and early tomorrow before Lena gets there. Why did you have plans?" She joked. He chuckled and made his way to their walk in closet to get dressed. Callie walked into their bathroom and pulled off her jeans and shirt, throwing them into the hamper. She kept the door cracked to let some of the steam from Brandon's shower out.
"Hey, I'm going to get a shower quick. Could you order some food?" She pulled off her bra and underwear, which followed the same path of her other clothes. Brandon sat on their bed in a pair of sweatpants and an old t-shirt.
"Sure babe, you care what kind?" Callie responded with a quick 'no' before she started the shower. She enjoyed the hot water on her body, relaxing after the stressful day she'd had. She spent most of the day confirming everything for tomorrow and making sure that the hall was being set up perfectly so that they wouldn't have to worry about it the next day. While today had caused her a great deal of stress, it was actually the first time she'd actually felt like it was happening. She was actually getting married to Brandon. She was going to officially become a Foster and she couldn't be happier. They were getting married so close to their seven year anniversary. She couldn't believe they'd been together for so long, she thought back to their first year anniversary, it felt so recent yet so long ago.
Six Years Ago
A very naked Callie and Brandon cuddled together in Brandon's bed, just admiring each other. Brandon had just moved into his first apartment and he and Callie were christening the bedroom. She smiled up at him and touched his face gently, his eyes were closed but Callie knew he was awake.
"Brandon?" She asked, with a somewhat cautious tone.
"Hmm?" He opened his eyes slightly and looked down at Callie with a lazy smile.
"I think we should tell them." It didn't take Brandon longer than a second to know what she was talking about. He nodded.
"I know, I know. Especially now that we're both moved out. I'm just nervous that they're going to act like they did two years ago." He sighed and turned his head to face her.
"Me too. But at least they can't get a restraining order this time." They both chuckled at the memory. Callie moved to have her face hovering over his before she continued.
"I think they'll understand. At least I hope they will. We have to be honest with them. It's been a year, if we wait any longer it'll just make them even angrier." He smiled and leaned up to kiss her before he moved to sit up and pull on his boxers.
"We can tell them at the next family dinner. We'll just get there early to talk to them. Everything will be fine, I promise." He moved to kiss Callie chastely before he walked over to the case he kept his sheet music in and pulled out a small box which made Callie give him a confused look. For as long as she'd known him, he was always so strict about keeping his music separate from everything.
"Why was that with your sheet music?" She asked in an accusing tone. She walked over to him with the sheet pulled around her body.
"It's the perfect hiding spot." He handed her the box.
"Since you mentioned that it's been a year, it seems like a good time to give you this." She opened it up to reveal a bracelet with two small circles connected that read 'C. & B.' on one side and 'one year anniversary' on the other. Callie smiled at him and gave him a kiss before she had him put the bracelet on her wrist. No one had ever done something so special for her and just the fact that he'd thought of her made her love him so much more.
Callie turned the water off and grabbed a towel from the cabinet in the bathroom before she stepped into her bedroom. She heard Brandon talking to someone who she assumed to be the delivery man for their food. Callie went into their closet and decided to wear just one of Brandon's old shirts and some lingerie before she got a scrunchy and put her hair into a ponytail. She went to the fridge and grabbed some drinks and plates before heading back into the bedroom with Brandon on her heels.
"I just ordered a large pepperoni pizza from that place you love down the block." He set the pizza box on their bed and sat down and took a plate from Callie, grabbing a few pieces for himself.
"I'm starving!" Callie took three pieces and sat against their headboard with her plate. They turned on a movie and ate while they watched it, only pausing it so Callie could clear off their bed and take their plates in the kitchen. When she came back, Brandon was under the blanket waiting for her. She got in beside him and wrapped her arms around his stomach, his arm went around her waist while she cuddled into him. She started tracing the faded letters on his shirt.
It was moments like this that made Brandon really appreciated everything. Their little life and family together and hopefully soon, they could add a child to their family. Though he hadn't brought it up, Brandon had been thinking about having a baby more and more in the days leading up to the wedding. He knew that most people would want to wait until they were settled into marriage to even consider having kids but Brandon and Callie had lived together for four years and spent everyday together. They both knew that there wouldn't be anyone else for them so why should they wait to start a family? Brandon sat up against the headboard, causing Callie to look up at him.
"Everything okay Brandon?" She sat up so she was sitting next to him. There was a certain look on his face that didn't go unnoticed by Callie, but she couldn't quite read it. It was a mixture of concern and possibly a bit of nervousness.
"What's wrong? Does it have to do with the wedding? Are yo-" Brandon cut her off and took her hand.
"No, no it's not about the wedding. I can't wait until you become my wife, that's not what's bothering me. It's just something else that I've been wanting to talk to you about." Brandon looked down, slightly embarrassed. Callie chuckled and moved to straddle his lap. She turned her head to the side and ducked it down to get him to look at her, which he did. She gave him a warm smile and intertwined their hands.
"Brandon, what is it? You can tell me anything, you know that." Callie smiled at him once more and pecked his lips, hoping to reassure him. Fortunately, this worked and Brandon got a sudden burst of confidence.
"I want to have a baby. I've been thinking about it ever since we had that scare a few months ago." Callie was silent. Although the look on her face remained neutral, it was Brandon's turn to try and read her expression. In a few seconds Callie's mouth turned upwards into a smile.
"I've been thinking about it since then too." She admitted. B smiled and the tension left his body. It was a big relief to know that he and Callie were on the same page. Especially with something this big.
"Do you think we're ready?" She asked quietly, looking down to their hands. Brandon nodded.
"I do. I'm not going to pretend I'm not scared or nervous about having a baby, but I know you'll be the best mother and I'm going to work so hard to be a good father. I just want to make sure that we're both sure about this." Callie smiled and nodded.
"I'm one hundred percent sure. And whether you know it or not, you're going to be an incredible dad." Brandon kissed her slowly and passionately, only pulling away when he needed to breathe. He rested his forehead to Callie's and closed his eyes. His thoughts went back to February when he and Callie had that pregnancy scare.
Callie had been acting strange for a few days. She'd been distant, tense and she'd hadn't spoken that much. When Brandon tried to get her to open up to him she'd just shut down and insisted that she was fine. But Brandon could see right through the fake smile and could hear the shakiness in her voice. Brandon sighed and sat at their piano, one of his favorite possessions, and let the music he played wash away his worries. At least for a little while.
Brandon was still playing when Callie walked through their door, a plastic bag from the drugstore in her right hand. She walked over to him and placed her hands on his shoulder, leaning down to kiss his cheek. He stopped playing and turned around to face her. She smiled a bit, but there was something behind it, something in her eyes that told Brandon there was something wrong. He stood up and led her to their couch. It took a few seconds for Callie to relax and another few seconds for her to take a deep breath and move to grab the bag that was now on the couch next to her. She pulled out a small box and placed it on the table in front of him. He looked at the box causing his eyes to widen he blinked a few times to make sure he'd read that correctly. It was a pregnancy test. Brandon looked back to Callie who wore an expression of fear and anxiety. It made sense now, why Callie had been so upset. She could be carrying a baby, Brandon's baby.
"I'm late and I've been throwing up." She put her head in her hands and sighed taking a deep breath and expelling it slowly before she continued.
"I haven't been to see the doctor, I just want to take both tests and see the results and then depending on those I'll see if I need to make an appointment." Brandon sat there silently, his heart racing out of his chest so loud he could hear it in his ears. What if Callie got pregnant? Were they ready for a baby? Could they handle a baby? Would they be able to support it? Brandon nodded to show he agreed with her. Although he didn't say any of his fears aloud, Callie was able to read his face. She knew that he didn't want a baby.
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea. It's going to be okay, no matter what we'll figure this out. Together, okay?" She nodded before she got up and took the box with her to their hall bathroom, mumbling something along the lines of 'I'll be right back.'
Everything was silent and Brandon was left alone to deal with all the thoughts running through his head. Those three minutes were the longest of his life. He paced and paced the floor until he heard Callie's iPhone timer go off, signaling the moment of truth. Callie came out of the bathroom with both tests in her hand. Brandon stopped pacing and gave her a look that said 'Well?'
"One's negative and one's positive. I think I should just make an appointment with the doctor, that way we'll know for sure." She left the room to dispose of the tests and to call the doctor. Brandon stayed still, he was so confused. Callie came back into the room with a water bottle in her hand.
"They're all booked up for a week and a half. I guess we'll just have to wait."
And wait they did. Day after day, Brandon couldn't seem to keep his thoughts away from the possibility of having a baby. After all the shock, Brandon was starting to get used to the idea of having a baby, as was Callie. Neither would admit it though, in fear of upsetting one another. Callie's appointment was in three days and Brandon was starting to get anxious. He came home to find Callie in the kitchen cooking dinner. She smiled over at him, he walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, just holding her.
"Smells good." He closed his eyes and breathed in the recipe Callie was making tonight. She chuckled and placed her hands over his arms.
"It'll be done in a few minutes." She smiled and turned to face him, kissing his lips lightly before pulling away. In this moment, Brandon could imagine everything. Coming home to Callie cooking dinner for three. Coming home to see his family, and in that second he realized that everything would be okay if she was pregnant.
But, unfortunately things didn't work out in the way Brandon had imagined.
Later that night, Callie came out of the bathroom with her wet hair clinging to one of Brandon's old t-shirts. She climbed into bed next to Brandon and looked over at him.
"I got my period." And in less than five seconds, Brandon's dream that was oh so close to becoming reality was taken away from him.
"I suppose I just had a stomach bug or something when I was throwing up. That's a relief right?" They both agreed, even though neither of them meant it.
"I love you." He spoke softly and quietly, holding her as close as she could get.
"I love you too." She smiled and placed a chaste kiss to his lips before she pulled back and gave him a smirk.
"If we're going to have a baby, I think that we should get some practice." Callie pulled off her (ahem, Brandon's) shirt leaving her in only her black bra and panties. Brandon bit his lip as he nodded his head.
"I think that is a very good idea." Brandon flipped Callie over, earning a squeal from her. He ground his hips into hers as his lips went to her neck and chest. He nipped, sucked and licked Callie's soft skin careful not to leave a mark. Callie was wearing a strapless mermaid gown tomorrow and he didn't want their friends and family to see her pale skin littered with hickies. Every moan he got from her was music to his ears and only pushed him to keep going.
Brandon moved down to kiss the top of her breasts moving his hands around her back to undo her bra and slip it off her shoulders. He bit and tugged on her nipple lightly before he brought it into his mouth only for a second before moving back to kiss her chest. Callie groaned in irritation when his mouth left her breast causing Brandon to smirk against her skin. He always teased her when they were intimate. It showed him just how much Callie needed his touch.
By now, Callie's panties were off and he was teasing her all over. Getting very tiresome of the teasing, Callie pushed on Brandon's shoulders to get him on his back. She moved to get on top of him which pressed her down right against his erection. She moaned loudly before she grabbed the hem of Brandon's t-shirt and pulled it up over his head throwing it across the room which left him in his boxers.
"You were overdressed." Callie explained. She moved down to his neck, teasing him the same way he did her. Even though her lower body was aching for him, she wanted him to be on the other end for once. Carefully and slowly, Callie moved her hand into his boxers and stroked him earning various moans from his lips. His eyes closed and his head fell back as Callie moved her thumb across his tip. She smirked and took her hand away earning a muttered 'god dammit' from Brandon. He leaned up to kiss her as hard as he could.
The teasing was done. Callie wanted him. Now. She slipped his boxers off and moved herself to be able to lower onto him. It took a few seconds for her to adjust to Brandon's size before she started to rock on him. Their moans and screams filled the room.
"Faster." Brandon moaned connecting his lips with Callie's after she whimpered softly.
They both came with their names falling off of each others lips. It was quiet for a few minutes as they rested, but then they started again.
Brandon rolled off of Callie and onto his back while he tried to catch his breath. Callie looked over at him and began to chuckle as she spoke.
"I think we should stop now. That was the... fifth time, right?" Brandon smiled and laughed with her.
"No, I'm pretty sure that was the sixth time tonight. New record." He chuckled as he pulled Callie close to him and held her before he looked over to the clock on one of the tables by their bed. 12:04 am.
"We better get to sleep. We've got a big day tomorrow." He yawned and kissed her cheek before he laid his head down on his pillow.
"I love you, Callie." She murmured it back before they both fell asleep together.
Let me know what you think! The next chapter is centered on Brandon having a talk with Mike and Stef before the wedding takes place.
