REVIEW!
For all my series reader's out there! I'm writing the first chapter for The Foster Clan sequel. Do you want me to write as a third person point of view or one of the characters point of view?
Third person point of view is how I wrote this story, and the characters point of view is how I wrote "Callie's Choice" and "The Foster Clan" its up to you guys. I just need some opinion.
Till than...

It's been two years. Two short years together and it only seem like a few days for Brandon who dearly loved Callie with all his heart. He's been treating her like a queen of his life and everyone close to them knew how much he loved her. Roses and letters every Sunday morning on the door steps, breakfast every Saturday mornings at Mike's apartment, dates EVERY Friday nights.
Callie loved the attention she got from Brandon, but she too showed her love for Brandon Foster. She had paid tickets to see his favorite bands, got him an internship with the help of Rita, bought him new music sheets to work on, and finally a grand piano that cost almost a grand. Mike helped pay for the piano though, but she paid majority of it. She even made him lunch for school, and she eventually teached the boy who can't cook anything, but pancakes, how to cook a meal or two. She loved him, and she took every day to show him.
Moms thought it was crazy to get each other gifts, or go on dates EVERY Friday night. Mariana thought it was adorable and Jude and Jesus thought it was weird, even though they got use to the gushy make out scenes, flirty teasing and roses ending up on the front door step every Sunday morning along with the letters Brandon writes to her. As Jude grew, he understood the feelings and he gave ideas for Brandon when he ran out of Friday night dates ideas. It was cute, thought Lena who once over heard them tossing ideas about dates for Callie.
They did the usual as always. They learned their dislike and likes, their good and bad. Brandon learned everything about Callie and Callie knew everything about Brandon. Jesus and the moms didn't believe so they decided to play a game that night.
"Okay, answer these questions, than when done I'll see if you guys got it correct." says Lena.
Callie finished first. Stef turned to Brandon and started to ask questions to see if Callie got it correct.
"Favorite color?"
"Blue."
"Favorite Food?"
"Pizza."
"Favorite books?"
"Percy Jackson, Harry Potter and Hunger Games Series."
"Favorite Cookie."
"Chocolate Chip."
"Favorite Disney Movie?"
"Lion King."
"Favorite Board Game."
"Monopoly"
Lena turned to Stef and smiled.
"She got it all right." she says.
Callie laughs. It was Brandon's turn to see if he got every question right about Callie.
"Favorite color?"
"Red."
"Favorite Food?"
"Biscuits and Gravy."
"Favorite books?"
"The Fault in our stars, Hunger Games Series and Divergent Series."
"Favorite Cookie."
"Chocolate Chip and Sugar Cookies."
"Favorite Disney Movie?"
"Frozen."
"Favorite Board Game?"
"Snakes and Latters."
Jesus stood there in amazement.
"Damm! they did it!" he yelled.
Brandon and Callie chuckled. They left the moms and Jesus alone, and went up stairs. They had enough with the questions.
"What is one thing you guys have in common?" the moms yelled, before they entered Callie's room.
"Music!" they both shouted.
No one questioned them ever again.
Even if Callie wasn't liked, and Brandon was such a good two shoes... Like all teenagers, they went to parties. Seven minutes of heaven was the best games Callie and Brandon ever played. They were put together in a closet two times at one party. Mariana thought it was rigged, but the two didn't care, they just played it off as an innocent game like everyone else. The end of the year party at Garners house ended pretty well for the couple, but not for the moms who heard the bed banging against the wall that night or Mariana who was locked out of her room. They didn't bother, it wasn't the first time they heard it or the first time Mariana got locked out. The next morning, the moms took out the door... As simple as that. Sucks for Mariana though.
"If your going to do... That! Just keep it down." says Stef.
"I'm going to the store... Did you guys run out of condoms yet?" casually says Lena.
"You horny boy." said Jesus laughing at Brandon as he walked in to the room, "Keep it down! We don't want to hear you fuck her."
"Jesus!" Lena and Stef shouted.
The couple turned red. They never did it again at the house. They couldn't risk it.
Prom was an issue that year. Since nobody knew about the relationship, Callie and Mariana went alone and Brandon had to pretend to go with Tayla. It hurt Callie, but Brandon made it up to her. That next night, Brandon rented out a boat and made a moon night dinner for Cal. Tayla meant nothing to him.
Tayla was a big issue all year. She was making Callie's high school years feel like hell. It was in till the beginning of their last year when she stopped a little, just because a rumor was going around that she was expecting Vico's baby. It wasn't true, Callie thought, but if it was, she got an abortion because no baby was ever seen.
In the two years, of being teens, Brandon and Callie only had broken up four times, only to be back together in each others arms in seven days times. It scared the family at the first break up, but they knew the couple would find each other again. They were inseparable.
This was good, because Brandon went to Europe for a school trip for two weeks. It drove Callie crazy not seeing him. The two weeks only made the relationship stronger.
If it was possible, the relationship went up a notch. Colleen's death anniversary appeared on Callie's calendar once again, and she and Jude decided it was time to visit their mother. Jude didn't last too long, crying in to Stef's arms after a few minutes of seeing their mothers grave.
Written on the stone was:
"Hear Lies Colleen Quinn Jacob, loving wife, mother and daughter."
Callie collapsed on her mothers grave as she sobbed. She was to strong for too long, she need to let go. She told her mother about how she knew about Robert and how she loved Brandon so much. She whispered how she was doing and how she missed her. She regretted not kissing her before she left, and she told her about some choices she made. She would give anything to hug her again.
"Wouldn't you be proud of me?" she asked her mother.
"She would." a voice answered.
Brandon, who was supposed to be at piano lessons knew he had to be there. He surprised her that day, hugging her as she cried. The warmth of his arms comforts Callie, and it reminds her of her mother.
"Hey Mrs. Jacob." says Brandon, as he held Callie. "I love your daughter so much. I'm going to take care of her and love her. Don't you worry. Jude's good too... My moms love him a lot, he's the golden boy to them. I promise to keep an eye on them for you... They mean to much to let go."
Callie placed her head on Brandon's chest as she hears Brandon talk to her mother. The promises just made things better. It wasn't empty... It was full of hope.
In April, they got accepted to the same college which made them happy. Brandon was to study music, Callie was to study photography. They had afternoon classes picked out and now they were looking at apartments. It was a good thirty minutes away from college to home. It was hard for Stef and Lena to get the news that their son and girlfriend would be moving away, even if it was 30 minutes, Stef would miss them. Lena was there to comfort her wife... She would miss the kids too, but they had five more to think about. Mariana and Jesus would be graduating soon and their twins would be going to school in the fall.
They graduated on May 30th, 2015, a happy day for the family. Brandon and Callie weren't eighteen just yet. Callie was born on August and Brandon was born on graduation day, the couple celebrated with their families and said good-bye to good friends.
Tayla tried to make out with Brandon again, which didn't work out so well. Jesus was so pissed off, he had pulled Tayla's hair and punched her before she could touch Brandon. He got arrested though... But wasn't charged all thanks to Stef who hated Tayla.
Wyatt said a goodbye to Callie, and he accepted the relationship. Callie and Wyatt still stayed friends, and Brandon accepted it too. All three were in good terms. The couple waved a good bye as Wyatt was leaving to Indiana for college. He still cared about her, but he was to preoccupied with his girlfriend who was coming to Indiana with him, plus they were expecting a baby.
Stef was not to judge, but she found out about Wyatt being a father, she turned to Brandon and Callie and said,
"If you make me a grandmother now, give me a bottle of whiskey."
They laugh. Stef was determine to not be a grandmother anytime soon.
Months passed... Apartments, new jobs, internships and First semester of college came and gone. The months were decreasing as days pass, and they count the days and the hours till they could finally be together and tell the whole wide world. In time, Brandon and Callie were now eighteen and weren't afraid of holding hands and kissing in public. They were crazy for each other, and they were finally free to be with each other. Tayla, who got in to the same college as the couple, found out. She was still a bitch, but no matter what she did, it made Brandon and Callie stronger.
They didn't have any break ups for all three years of college, but the fourth year. It was hard. With stress and lack of sleep the couple snapped at each other constantly. They broke up for a week. When they both attended a party, Brandon saw another boy trying to kiss Callie, which basically pissed him off. The night ended with a fight that got Brandon arrested. He was bailed out by Callie, and she apologized. The apology turned in to sex, and that's how every fight ended since than. They couldn't help it... Like Stef and Lena said, they were crazy!
They finally graduated in 2019 with flying colors. Mariana and Jesus were right behind them, Jude was in his last year of high school and the twins were starting first grade that fall. Stef and Lena couldn't believe that their children were growing up so fast. It was a matter of time till one of them were to marry. Everyone had bets that Brandon and Callie would marry after graduation... It didn't happen.
After graduation, Callie and Brandon got steady jobs and lived a life they always wanted. They traveled every state that summer. They were never bored as a couple and words couldn't describe how much they loved each other. Other than adventure, they came home once a week to have dinner with the family and to see Brandon's little brothers. They didn't want to miss any mile stones of the boys. Callie loved them as her own, and the boys basically loved her.
It was one night when Stef, Lena and Mike watched Callie and Brandon put the twins to bed before they returned home.
"Good night Callie." one of the boys said.
"Good Night." she whispered.
"When are you and Brandon coming back? I miss you." he says.
"I miss you guys so much! but I promise... if you ever need me, I'm just a phone call away." she explained.
"I love you." he says, snuggling up, "I love brother Brandon too."
"I know you do." she replies.
The three parents stood by the door and smile at each other.
"She would a good mother someday." whispers Lena.
"Brandon would be a good dad." adds Mike.
They see Callie tucking in the boys than humming a little song. Brandon smiled, holding her hand as they told the boys the loved them once more.
"Give them time... They will be the best parents a kid could ever have." says Stef.
Family dinners kept the family together, even Mike had dinner with them too, but he's been busy with his new girlfriend Jayne. It was awkward, but Jayne was very nice even Stef approved. It was weird, but she approved.
Dani's still named popped out a few times which troubled Brandon a few nights. He finally told the family about his drunken night. It didn't matter to report it since Dani was dead. Callie was disappointed at first, than angry. That night ended like every fight. Callie didn't care, she loved Brandon and she knew that him and Dani meant nothing. She wasn't able to forgive Brandon for awhile, but she did. She knew that he would never hurt her.
On June 8th, 2020, Brandon took Jude out for ice cream at the beach. He called Robert Quinn, Callie's father to meet them there. It was a normal day for Jude and Robert, but this day was important to Brandon. They had no clue what was going on till Brandon nervously grinned.
"Umm. Jude, Robert." Brandon says awkwardly, "I would like umm... Permission to marry Callie."
They both smiled, smiles painted on their face.
"Your really asking me permission?" says Jude.
"Of course... I want you to be okay with it." He answers.
"I give you my blessing." answers Robert. "I knew it was bond to happen."
"Yes." says Jude. "But let me help you plan the proposal! I want to see Callie's face."
"Alright," agreed Brandon, "That's a deal, but we have to include Sadie... She's the new puppy I got Callie... She's been begging for a pug since forever."
That was the easy part for Brandon, he couldn't wait to propose. He didn't even think it was possible seven years ago and now he was going to marry the girl he loved.
The next day, Callie walked in to the apartment to find little Sadie, the black pug puppy sitting on her bed with a red bow tugging on a little rope. She laughs and picks up the little adorable puppy.
"Now... Where did you come from?" she says.
She looks at the ring tied to the bow than turned around to see Brandon on his knees. The puppy struggled from her grip and runs to Brandon. He unties the ring from the bow and smiles.
"Callie Quinn Jacob, you make me the most happiest person in the world. I love you endlessly and I want to spend my whole life with you. Your my infinity and I love you. Would you marry me?"
Callie sobs to his arms nodding. Brandon spins her around laughing as she keeps nodding.
"Yes!" She finally cries, "Yes..."
The whole family cheers from the kitchen, taking pictures and laughing. The twins jumped up and down over and over again laughing and clapping. Callie was going to be a Foster after all, no adoption required.
"I love you." She whispers to Brandon.
"I love you too."
They were married on December 20th, 2020 at the same church Colleen and Donald married. Robert walked her down the isle giving her away to Brandon. Stef and Lena planned the whole thing and shared the role as maid of honor. Aiden was the best man and the twins were the ring barriers. Wyatt's daughter who he named Lilly was the flower girl and Mariana, Emma, who was Jesus's fiancé, Gabbi, Kiara and Daphne were brides maid. Cole, Wyatt, Jesus, Jude and Connor were grooms men.
It was a perfect wedding. Callie couldn't believe this was happening. She was marrying Brandon Foster, her love of her life. She didn't think this was possible seven years ago and now it is. She has the last name Foster. She was Callie Quinn Foster, and she had a family. She had a home.
It took two years for Callie to conceive a child. Callie and Brandon didn't want any kids just yet since they still was saving up for a house, but the day Callie realized she forgot to take a pill was the day that she found out she was pregnant.
Callie was scared being a mother, but her fear was put to rest. She had Brandon, and that's all she needed. The whole family was thrilled about the new baby, and Callie couldn't wait to meet her new bundle of love. The baby... Who was her and Brandon's creation.
Stef and Lena stood there with a bottle of champagne in the waiting room with Mariana, Jesus, Emma, Jude and the twins. They awaited the news of the newborn entering the world. A good thirty minutes pass till Brandon entered the room smiling.
"It's a girl!" He yells.
The bottle of champagne was popped and was poured in to glasses. They celebrated the new baby girl born to the world.
On May 17, 2023, little 6 pounds, 7oz, 20 inches long baby girl was given the name Colleen Stefena Foster. She had gotten her name from her beautiful, strong and caring grandmothers.
Callie held her baby girl close to her smiling at Colleen who had inherited her daddy's green eyes, but her features, and beautiful soft brown hair. She kisses her baby girl, and tells her how much she loves her. She wanted to give everything to her daughter, and to protect her to all cost. She wanted to be the mother her mother was suppose to be for her.
"Look what we did." cries Callie as Brandon holds his daughters hand, "Look what we made."
"I know," whispers Brandon, "Colleen Stefena Foster."
They made a beautiful girl to love. They made a family.
Robert looks at his new granddaughter with love as he held her for the first time. Colleen... That name was perfect for this little beautiful girl he thought. She was just perfect.
"This is the same feeling I felt when I held you." He told his daughter. "She's just like you... But she has her-"
"Daddy's eyes." says Brandon, completing his sentence. He was proud of that fact.
"She's beautiful." says Callie, "In every way possible."
"Just like you," he whispers to Callie, "Got my eyes... But your mothers beauty and heart."
Robert could tell that Callie was over the moon. She had a daughter now. She was happy. He was glad to tell his daughter about his story... Her mothers story. If he didn't, she would be with that Wyatt guy, and Brandon would have never been happy as he was now. At least one story got a happy ending... The other didn't...
Boy... How he was wrong.
Ten years passed and Callie and Brandon Foster sist on the couch watching a movie with their four kids. Their dog Sadie, laid her self on to Colleen and Anthony, her body was sagging as much as fat could sag for a twelve year old dog. It was pretty much, a normal Friday night with the kids minus little Gloria, who was Mariana's daughter. She visits all the time and was close to Colleen and Callie.
Colleen, who now is a beautiful ten year old, is full of life. She had inherited Callie and Brandon's love for music and she played the piano since she was three which made Brandon proud. She resembled her grandmother Colleen and mother, but had Stef's crazy hard head personality and Lena and Callie's caring and understanding heart. She also had Callie's courage and Brandon's smarts... She was the most lively little girl the world has ever seen. She was daddy's little girl, and mamas love.
After Colleen was born, Ian who was planned, came along four years later. Brandon was overjoyed to have a son. He loved his daughter, but having a son to love was a way to prove the world that he wasn't like Mike. He was just like Brandon, but he was more artistic and was in to drawing. The only thing he had in common with Callie was his brown eyes and their good and understanding heart. Callie loved her little boy, and they were really close. Ian was Callie's last baby, till they decided to adopt which was an hard process.
They soon adopted a brother and sister who reminds Callie of her and Jude. Anthony who was Ian's age, and little Chloe who was just a toddler was welcomed to the family when Chloe was a year old... That was two years ago.
Callie snuggles against her husband and smiles. She looks at her beautiful kids and than to Brandon. She did something right, and he couldn't agree more. It was a perfect ending to a troubled start.
"Mama." She hears her daughter, Colleen say after the movie ended, "Can you tell me Grandma Colleen and Grandpa Roberts story again before bed?"
Colleen loved her grandparents love story. She was old enough to understand since she was seven. Robert first told her the story when he came to visit her. She loved it so much, she made her own song about her grandparents love. Robert loved it.
"How about daddy and mines love story?" I suggested.
She didn't know... But she was about too.
"Sure." She simply said, as Brandon took the rest of the kids up to bed and I began to tell her my story.
A few miles away, Robert was taking his last breath. He wasn't old, but he had suffered cancer since his first granddaughter Colleen was born. He knew that his time was short, and he didn't fight the cancer at all. He wanted to be with Colleen. He wrote letters to his grandchildren, to Callie, Brandon and Jude, to Lena and Stef and to the rest of Brandon's siblings and their children. He was part of the family, and they should get his share of Inheritance he had which was his parents old house by the lake and a few grand saved in his bank. As bad as he wanted to go see Colleen, he wanted to see his grandkids grow up. He loved camping with Ian and Anthony, and telling story's to Colleen and Chloe. His youngest grand-daughter loved him. Shes just a toddler and he hoped that Callie tells her story's of him so she wouldn't forget him. He sighs. He was in pain, and he knew that he need Colleen more than ever. As he closes his eyes, breaths his last breath, whispering Colleens name, he looks up to the white light and sees the beautiful girl he longed for. He was finally here... in the place were he needed to be.
"Robert?"
He hears her voice and she runs in to his arms. Robert couldn't believe it... He was finally with her.
"I missed you so much Colleen." He cried, "I love you."
He buries his face in to her long lushes brown hair and cries.
"I love you too." she says crying, kissing him with all her might. She was finally with him.
He wanted her to say these words since the day they left each other. He cries in to her arms, kissing her gently again, looking in to her chocolate brown eyes. He longed to see her eyes.
"Don't cry," she says, "We're together... That's all that matters."
They could finally love each other with no judgment, no Donald, no system... just them. The couple walked in to the light to start their infinity together.
Callie was devastated about Roberts death, but Brandon reminded Callie that he was with Colleen again. Callie nodded. He knew that her mom was with him again... That they found each other. If it wasn't for them and their love she wouldn't be here with Brandon. She watched as the family tossed the roses in to his casket. Mariana and her husband clutched each other, holding their daughter Gloria in their arms. Jesus and Emma held their twins, Stef and Lena stood in silence next to their twin sons. Jude comforts Callie. She lost her father and it hurts.
The family walked towards their cars after the service ended, leaving me alone.
"Mama." I hear my sons Ian and Anthony say, "We got a book from Grandpa, and Colleen says you should read it to us. She said you told her the story and it was special to you and grandpa."
I look at the book... The title. "The Girl and the Foster brother." Under it it says "The of story of Colleen Quinn Jacob and Robert Quinn...to the next generation."
Callie smiles a little. I guess the boys were old enough. It will be a matter of time till Chloe asks about the story.
"Okay, I'll read it too you." she says. "Before bed... It's a really good story."
The boys took the book and walked towards the car. She thanked Robert quietly as she watch the dirt cover his casket. She remembered that he once said that only one story had a happy ending... He was wrong. Both story had a happy ending, or at least she thought. She was glad that she chose Brandon, she couldn't imagine her life without him in it.
Brandon's arms find Callie's waist. He kisses her gently, hugging from the back. Callie enjoys his comfort and warmth, it reminds her of her mother.
They been together for almost twenty years, married for twelve... And in those years alone, Brandon had told her I love you, to her everyday. He meant it every time, and he'll never stop loving her. He loved her in every way, and he was glad that Robert shared his story. He was happy. I wish I could give her more, thought Brandon. No... he couldn't, he gave everything to Callie, and he knew he could never lose her. She was his, and he was hers.
When they returned home, the kids ran to the backyard and played with Sadie. Brandon was singing to little Chloe who was sad about her grandpa's death.
"Papa?" she says, "I miss grandpapa."
Brandon turns to his daughter, tucking her blonde hair behind her ear and looking at her grey eyes.
"I know... but it's alright. We have each other remember? that's all that matters," he says, "Mama and I will never leave you."
Callie listened to her daughter and husband talk. She loved them in all ways possible... she loved Brandon for being the best husband, friend and father. If it wasn't for Robert, they wouldn't have been together. She decided that maybe, people should know... that her daughters and sons should know about this. You never know... she wouldn't be surprised if one of them fell for a young beautiful girl or boy and people or society or the dam government decides that they can't be together. It didn't stop Robert, and it surly didn't stop Callie. Callie found an old journal and began to write.
"The girl and the Foster brother, Brandon and Callie's story."
It was about time... She wanted her kids and Grandkids and the next generation to know that love is love. All that matters is that your together. Even if it's wrong, but feels so right.
"Callie?" I hear Brandon say as he rocks our daughter in our arms. I smile at the sight of him.
"I love you." he says.
"I love you too."
It was always right. The Girl and The Foster Brother.
THE END
