Callie and Jude lived together in the Foster home for 6 months before Callie left them. She left Stef a note however...

Dear Stef,

I must leave now for the safety of everyone. Please do not come looking for me. All I ask is that you keep Jude safe just for a year. I will then be able to become his legal guardian. Do not tell anyone I left a note. Do not show this to anyone. Thank you so much for all you have given me.

Callie

It's been a year since she left. Brandon left for college, but comes home often on long weekends and summer. The twins turned 16 a couple months ago, and of course Jesus got the car he wanted. Jude missed his sister dearly and thinks about her everyday, trying to come up with how to bring her back. He still keeps in touch with her, sending her letter. Every know and then he gets a response. Last month he found why she left. He only had a week until she came to pick him up. He is counting down the days.

(Lena POV)

It was Saturday, everyone was in the kitchen when I heard the faint knock on the door. I smiled as I beat Jude to open it. The shock fell like a tidal wave over my body as Jude pushed past me to reach his sister.

"Callie! You came to get me!"

"Of course I did. I will always come back for you", the woman infront of me said.

"STEF!", I called. My lovely girlfriend came up beside me. She did not have an ounce of shock or worry on her face, just curiosity.

"Come on in Callie", Stef spoke, since I clearly couldn't. As the siblings walked past the door frame, all of the other kids walked in. Brandon was among them. Callie was the first to break the awkward silence that fell.

"I have to go like now, so..."

"Well you have to stay and talk to us", I said, still filled with shock.

"Then I have to go get something. Excuse me." I watched as she quickly ran to her car. Jesus was the first to speak after Jude left to get something in his room.

"Why is she back?"

"Yeah, and why come back now?" his twin finished.

"She's 18 now, she can take Jude and raise him." That is when both the siblings rejoined us. I stood even more shocked as I saw what Callie was carrying. A baby! Callie had a kid while she was gone!

(Brandon POV)

My heart stopped when I saw the child in her arms. It couldn't be mine, right? Then why did some part of me want it to?

About a month before Callie left, we were sort of together. Its a long story, but to sum it up, she left and I can't move on. I think about her all the time. Its ridiculous and needed to stop, but know, seeing her standing there, I knew it never would. I love Callie. I always will.

(Callie POV)

Everyone was staring at , I had a kid know, let's move on people. Thankfully, Stef saw how uncomfortable I was and spoke up.

"Let's move this to the dinning room table. We can ask Callie questions there. Do you want anything?"

To get the hell out of here.

"I'm good, thank you."

After everyone was settled, the interrogation began.

"Is that why you left?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"Cause I couldn't."

"Who is the father?"

"I'm not a liberty to say at this time."

"How old it is?"

I looked Brandon straight into his eyes. "10 weeks"

I think he was starting to connect the dots. I could see it in his face.

"Boy or girl?"

"Girl."

"Name?

"Rose Stephanie Lena. And I will not disclose the last name since its the fathers."

Brandon and Callie had been going strong for about two week now.

"If we had a daughter, what would you name her?" I asked.

"Rose, like the flower. Like the first flower I gave you."

"I like Rose. Its pretty."

"I love you Callie."

"I love you too Brandon."

"So you know who the father is?"

"Yes."

"Will you ever tell him?"

"Maybe."

The day went on like this for quite some time.

"I have to get going, but I'll be back tomorrow. Jude, wanna come with me or stay here?"

"If I stay here, then you must come back, so I'm good here", my younger brother stated.

Brandon spoke next. "I'll walk you out."

"Alright."

I bid good bye to everyone and led Brandon to my car. After securing Rose in her car seat, I turned to say good night to Brandon.

"It's mine, isn't it?"

"I don't know-"

"Rose is my daughter, right?"

"Brandon-"

"No, I want a yes or no. Is she mine?"

"Yes."
