After driving home from Idyllwild, Mariana runs ahead "I've got first shower". We stop at the door and I can't help but look into those deep brown eyes of the woman I love. Every time I look into those eyes I see all the memories I have with her, the painful memories, the good memories, every jam session that we have ever had, every kiss, every break up and every moment ever spent with this incredible person.
"You ready Callie?"
"Brandon before we talk to your moms I need you to know something, I really should of told you this last night in the cabin, but I really don't know how to tell you. All my life I thought that I was looking for the perfect family and trust me I want this family more than anything but I realised that it wasn't a family I was looking for, it was you. I was looking for you. B the way that you have always been there for me when I need you, I never thought that I would be able to talk to anyone, to open up, I didn't think I'd ever find anyone that would ever love me the way you do. Whatever happens after we walk through this door I want you to know… I love you"
I can't help but let the smile spread across my face.
"I love you too Callie, I promise that we will figure something out, we always do"
"I believe you, whatever happens this is because I've finally made up my mind. I know what I need to do."
She linked her fingers with mine and with that we walked inside and into the kitchen to find my mom's sitting with Jude and Rita.
"Hello" Callie and I say at the same time
"Hi Brandon, Callie, nice to see you again."
"Brandon, Callie take a seat" Stef took a seat herself and waited for the kids to join her.
"Callie, there may be a problem with the adoption" Lena said as she started to tear up, leaning into mom for comfort.
At the sound of the words I didn't know what to do, I want to run and hug Callie to stop the pain, but behind the pain I felt hope, the hope that we can find a way, to be together. We all just there not knowing what to do, Callie is the one to break the silence.
"What is the problem?"
"The judge needs to see us before a decision is made."
