AU What would have happened if Robert, Jill and Sophia found out about Callie before the Fosters and we're the ones waiting at Chula Vista Juvenile Correction Facility instead of Lena.
Everyone is present, however the Adams - Foster's will be friends Callie meets at school and builds a strong relationship with, and who eventually adopt Jude. I love Jude but I want to focus on Sophia and Callie for once.
My apologies beforehand, I'm a horrible writer and honestly my Grammar blows. I'm hoping writing will be a stress reducer, and a new learning process so please bear with me. I'd love any tips or corrections, but please be nice about it, my feeling are a tad sensitive. This is my first FF so be gentle loves. Im working on being more discriptive, but im sucking so bad, haha.
CHAPTER 1
THE BEGINNING/ THE CALL THAT CHANGED IT ALL.
Roberts POV
I can't believe we're really doing this. It's been a nerve racking drive up to Chula Vista. Today is the day we finally get to meet Callie and bring her home. Sophia has been talking non stop about how amazing it'll be to have a sister. She's never exactly had a huge amount of friends, but I never would have imagined how lonely she was until we told her about her half-sister. It was just yesterday that we got the news that Callie even existed.
*Flashback*
ROBERT POV
"Honey, someone named Bill is on the phone for you. He says he needs to talk to you about our daughter. Is Sophia alright?" Jill asked, as she handed Robert the phone.
Sophia should have been at school about this time. She had left half past 7 this morning, to attend a field trip to local accurium.
With a heavy heart Robert took the phone. Expecting the worse, that Sophia may have been involved in a horrible accident. As the pain and confusion spread across his face, Jill was afraid her suspicions were right. But how wrong she was. No one could have prepared her for the news that was about to come.
Tossing the phone across the table, anger, and sadness quickly spread across his face. Unable to process what had just happened Robert threw his head into his hand, he gently rubbed his temples and sighed aloud.
"That was Bill from protective services." Turning over to Jill to meet her eyes. " Love, remember Colleen? Turns out she had a child, Callie, she's about 16 now. Callie is being released from Chula Vista Juvenile Correction Facility tomorrow", with tears in his eyes, he tilted his head waiting for his wife to respond.
"I don't understand, why does that have anything to do with us Robert" Jill asked as she took a seat across the table.
While pacing back and forth Robert explained everything. How Callie had jumped between foster homes, and was even sent to Juvie for damaging a foster father's car. How Colleen was killed in a car accident driven by who they presumed was Callie's father. When Bill was preparing to place Callie in a new foster home, he had stumbled across her original birth certificate with Robert Quinn listed as her father. Noticing how he had never signed, Bill had put together that Robert might not have know he had a child in the world.
"She's being released into our custody, we have to meet Bill at Chula Vista tomorrow at 8am." Looking for just the slightest hint his wife was okay with the idea of brining in a stranger into their home, he looked at his love with pleading eyes.
"Okay Robert, but how are we suppose to explain to Sophia that all of all sudden she has a half sister from her father's previous marriage?" Jill seemed to be having nothing of it, how on earth was this going to work? A million thoughts were going through Jill's mind.
" We don't know this girl, how do we know she's going to be safe around Sophia? For heavens sake Robert! You just said she is being released from Juvie. What if she's a danger to us or herself? How do we know she's not going to violent."
Feeling defeated, all Robert could do was let reality sink in. Until Sophia got home their was really nothing more that could be said or done.
When Sophia got home that night they all met around the kitchen table. It took Robert and Jill by surprise at how well Sophia took to the news of having a half-sister come live with them.
"This is great!" Sophia exclaimed. Her eyes lit up every time Callie's name was mentioned.
"Having a sister is like having a built in best friend" said Sophia as she went to grab some juice from the fridge.
" Tomorrow were going to go meet Callie and bring her home. We need you to be on your best behavior, and make Callie feel welcome. It's been a a while since Callie has had a stable home. You need to be gentle and give her some space, okay?" As Robert looked over to Sophia, he noticed she was slumped over in her chair.
" But I want to show her around and take her to see my school. And to go horse back riding" Sophia rambled.
"I know honey, but we have to give her time to adjust too. We're strangers to her. This is a new home, she's going to be scared and confused" said Robert nodding his head as he talked.
That night everyone went to bed anxiously waiting for the next, day to come. Even as excited as Sophia was, it didn't match, the happiness that fluttered though Roberts heart. He wondered what she looked like, if she had Colleen cute little button nose. Or if she was as sweet as Sophia.
*End flashback*
As the three of us anxiously waited by the gate for Bill to arrive with Callie. I couldn't help but to smile to myself. Other than the day Sophia was born, this could honestly be the happiest day, of my life. But the sorrow this must feel to Jill, to suddenly have to raise a daughter that isn't her own. I truly do have the best wife I could ever ask for.
This was all going by so fast, before I could collect my thought Bill came out Callie. Her shoulders we slumped down, and her hair was covering her face. As she brushed her hair away from her eyes, all I could focus on was the sadness that grew across her face. I couldn't help but notice her rough exterior. A split lip, and a bruised cheek, but even through all the bruises, all I could see were her eyes filling with tears.
