As the morning light hit Callie, she woke to see the bed completely empty. The house was quiet and a note hit her nose as she went to turn her face. Callie, Anna's in her bed. Went to work early. Couldn't wake you, looked so peaceful. Coffee on table. LOVE E. As Callie turned to see the night table next to her bed she also saw the coffee mug with the big words I LOVE YOU! "Ohh, Erica…" Callie said as she traced the words with her index finger. She couldn't feel any worse about this. It hit her stomach and then the tears came slowly down her cheek. How, could she tell Erica that Mark wasn't the father…How could she tell the women of her life that she cheated on her with a lost flame in Miami when she went to visit her family.….that she only came back because she finally saw the leaves that were some how hidden. As she wiped away the tears the sweet sound of small feet came into the room. "Mommy, mommy, mommy!"

"In her sweetie" Callie called to the small princess. The small girl came in with a box just a little bigger than her. "What's this...?" Callie said as she pulled her self from under the sheets and took the coffee that Erica had left her. "I don't know it was on the kitchen table…" Callie took the box from her little girl and put it on the dresser next to the door. As she opened it a card fell out. To: Annabelle. The dress was just beautiful and the little girls size. As soon as she saw it she jumped knowing immediately that it was hers. "Mine? Mine? Mine?"

"Not so fast hunny, we need to see who it's from…" Yet, when she opened the card her heart went into her throat. "I know I'm the father, Callie. I want to see my daughter. I'll be around…just call me. Anthony." When she looked back at the box the dress was gone and so was the little girl. "MOMMY!" Callie walked over to the next room looking at the small princess standing in front of the mirror in her room. "Preetty!!!" The gold dress made her tan/white skin glow and with the blue light blue stones it brought near the neck it made Anna's little blue eyes sparkle. Her long straight brown hair was pulled into a cute pony tail from last night and as she turned checking how cute the dress was a idea suddenly popped into her head. "Birthday dress?"

"Oh hunny, I don't know…."
"Pweeese mommy, pweese!!"

"Alright, but first we need to ask mommy C, now, let's take off the dress and get ready for daycare."

"Otay"

Back at SGH the surgeries were back to back for Erica. Two heart transplants with minimal complications in five hours. After the last one she went straight to her on call room and tried for sleep. Since last night it wasn't easy to come by. She wanted to know what Callie was keeping from her but she couldn't understand why it was so hard…what was hurting so much that tears had to come in play. Erica hated it when her lover was in tears….the first time she saw Callie's tears it broke her and last night's tears also broke her. The whole night she tossed and turned trying to figure it out. Yet, for now, since Callie wasn't around….Jackie was now on the mind. She soon took out her cell and dialed the new number. "Hello" A voice said after only one ring. "Jackie?"

"Yes, this is Jackie speaking who I may ask is calling?"

"Hi, its me Erica?"

"Oh…Hey Erica…you called?"

"I said I would…now why did you call last night….what do you want forgiveness for…and you if you dare say anything about Lissa you better find a way down here because you know better then to say it over the phone." The anger was apparent but the calmness of her voice was what she was known for…ice queen was back and in charge. "Erica listen to me…Lissa….she's dieing….and as for coming down there….I'm already here."

"Dieing?" The words hit her like a stone. Lissa was her little sister and the only saint in the family…how could she be in trouble? "Yes, Erica…dieing…she needs a new heart and the only way she wanted to get one is if you do the surgery." The words were also hard to say but Jackie couldn't figure out how to say it without the pull at her heart. Lissa was her first lover and her last. She wanted to spend her entire life with her, not just half.

"We haven't seen each other for 5 to 6 years….and now she wants to see me….to fix her…" Erica didn't want to be this way with her sister's fiancé but it seemed like it came so natural. "Erica please, talk to us, she knows how much you hate her, but she needs you."

"Yea, well I needed mom!" With that she hung up the phone and as the tears flowed down her cheeks. She knew it was wrong to hate the only living member of her family but she couldn't stand it right now. But if as it were fate Callie walked in to see the blond crying. She slowly crawled into the bed with Erica and slowly pulled her in. Erica fought it for a while but eventually, like always, gave in and let her self go in the embrace of Callie. Callie didn't need to know why the blond was crying, she didn't need to know why she was hurt. The only thing that mattered was that she was there and she was holding her. She was the security blanket and for once Erica needed it. Yet, the silence was soon cut with "I love you.." from Callie…"But we need to talk.." She saw the watery eyes of Erica…"Please Callie, not now, please…" With that Callie just pulled herself into Erica's embrace and shut her mouth. "Alright Erica, not now….later…much much later…"
