Callie was in tears there was no hope now for being part of the Adams Foster family, it was so close it was in her grasp everything was going in her favor for once in her life until she looked down at that small stick in her hand
The word Pregnant 2-3 weeks was clearly written on the stick.
She could never be adopted that one night at Idlewild when she thought for sure she wouldn't get adopted her and Brandon finally made love, but Rita didn't rat her out, she knew that a family was more important then a fling.
She couldn't be his foster sister and have his child, she knew Steph and Lena would never adopt her now, but she wasn't going to abandon this baby maybe this was so she could at least have a part of Brandon since she now has to leave his life for good.
Steph and Lena were heart broken when they found out out of nowhere that Callie decided it would be best to just to go to independent Living.
It was nine months later and Callie was on a hospital bed in major pain she could hear the doctors telling her to push one more time she put in all the effort she could and could hear faint crying as she passed out.
Meanwhile a doctor was carrying Callie's baby out when a woman came up to him "I want that baby" she said in a demanding tone.
"Excuse me this is someone's child" the nurse replied.
She then pulled up a suitcase full of cash "As you were saying" she replied.
The doctor then nodded "I see."
He traded the baby girl with the cash Justina walked out with a smug on her face and the child in her arms Callie was not gonna get away with ruining her business nor have her family, nor have Brandon, nor have this baby, she said Callie was gonna pay and she was gonna make damn sure of it.
Callie started to regain consciousness when she looked over at the nurse "where is my daughter?" she said in panic.
The doctor looked at her with sadness in her eyes "I'm sorry hunny...with her being born 4 months early she didn't make it."
Callie's heart stopped she gave up the fosters family, Brandon, everything for this baby only for her to die, God if there is one, why couldn't she have this one thing."
"Can I please see her one time?" asked Callie.
"I'm sorry we already..." the nurse began.
"Without my written consent I may have wanted a funeral or to cremate her" yelled Callie.
"I'm sorry hunny" she said again.
Callie asked to be left alone as she broke down and cried she called Steph since she no longer has Brandon's baby maybe she could be adopted and she would have to keep this child, her and Brandon's child a secret from the rest of the family for the rest of her life.
14 years later.
Lena was now a member of the school board her and Steph still have their foster license and its been quiet with the kids now grown and on their own she got a phone call from a social worker.
"Lena I'm sorry to bother you on short notice but would you be willing to foster a kid."
"Um...this is something I would need to discuss with my wife but..." she began.
Lena I think you would be interesting in fostering this kid, In fact unless there is another kid with the same name did Callie ever have a child?"
"Wait there has to be some kind of mistake Callie has never been pregnant nor would she put a child up for adoption especially when she knows how the system is" said Lena.
I can bring you her paper work Callie Jacob is listed as the mother who gave up her rights to this fourteen year old girl.
"I want to see the paper work" said Lena in dis belief.
A few minutes later a car pulled up Lena was in shock when the girl stepped out she looked almost like Callie except she had blue eyes Lena this is Tara Jacob.
Lena felt a familiar presence with this girl but she didn't believe that Callie would willingly put a baby up for adoption, something was not right about this.
The social then handed Lena her file she opened it up to the release of rights page her heart stopped when she read the two names Callie Quinn Jacobs and Brandon Mike Foster.
She then looked at the date 4 months after Callie decided she didn't want to be adopted anymore, could she have been pregnant and wanted to protect Brandon and so she gave her up, knowing Brandon was the father it might seem a little more believable that she would give her up.
She knew that not only was she Callie's child but Brandon's she couldn't risk her going into a bad home if she was Callie and Brandon's child she is her grandchild she is family.
She said without hesitation "Steph and I can foster her no problem."
She knew she had to make a call to Steph, Callie and Brandon immediately she had to figure out why they would do this, why they felt this was the only option.
The social worker gave Tara the small amount of things she had and she followed Lena in the house she quietly looked around "so how many people live here?"
"Well we have 5 children but they are all grown and on their own so we've been empty nesters for a few years now."
She knew that she didn't need to overwhelm the girl with the fact that Callie her daughter could be this girl's mother.
"Can I get you some water, something to eat?" she asked.
The girl was looking at pictures "um can I take a shower?"
'Of course its upstairs second door on the right" said Lena "make yourself at home."
She went upstairs and Lena called Callie first "Cal, I need you to come home."
"I'm kind of swamped on my new case whats going on?" she replied.
"Did you give up a child for adoption while you were trying to receive independent living?"
Callie's heart started to race "I had a child who passed away at birth."
I have paperwork here from a case worker who just dropped off a girl that you signed AND BRANDON SIGNED YOU GAVE A BABY GIRL UP FOR ADOPTION" Lena yelled.
Callie couldn't believe what she was hearing her child was dead, her child didn't make it,Brandon didn't even know the child existed there was no way tears started falling down her face "I'm on my way..." as she hung up the phone.
The door slammed open as Callie started yelling "Brandon didn't even know about her, the doctors they told me my daughter died, I was gonna do independent living because Brandon and I slept together and you would never forgive me and he had a future I wasn't going to drag him down with me...they told me she died" she cried.
Lena then showed Callie the release of rights page that her and Brandon signed.
"This isn't real Lena...Brandon did not know about her, can this girl be DNA tested maybe she stole my child's identity, I see Identity theft all the time on cases" said Callie not believing her daughter was alive.
"Callie she looks just like you except she has blue eyes." said Lena "I didn't have to have a DNA test to know she was yours or Brandons.
Tears fell down Callie's eyes "we have to find out who did this."
A second later a man came walking in the door "hey mama why did you call?"
"Brandon have a seat there is something that has to be discussed with you and Callie."
Callie panicked she never told Brandon about their child.
"Brandon did you sign to give a child up for adoption with Callie?" asked Lena.
Brandon was shocked "you had a child...we had a child?" he said as his voice cracked.
Tears fell down Callie's eyes "we had a child yes Brandon."
