A/N: Two updates in one day! Yay! Cursing again, sorry.

(Callie POV)

"Hey Callie. Um, can Rose have this?" I turned to see Jesus holding a handful of nuts. Rose was still in her high chair. He was going to feed them to her!

"NO! Jesus, but that down and away from Rose please!" My voice was shaky, but I don't care. He was going to kill her!

"What?"

"She's allergic to nuts. Its really bad, please don't feed her any."

"OK."

(Talya POV)

I've got it! The perfect way to make sure Callie is out of Brandon's life forever.

(Jude POV)

I heard the sobs coming from downstairs. I rushed down there, praying that my sister and niece were ok. Just as I reached the last step, I saw Brandon sitting, holding Rose.

I'm not stupid. If I was then I wouldn't know that Brandon was the child's father from the second I saw her. Also, I'm pretty good at math. Callie wasn't gone a whole year, only about 11 months. Minus 1 and 1/2, 9ish months. 9 months=how long it takes to have a kid. Duh, I'm surprised Jesus couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, there was Brandon, sitting next to an unconscious Callie, sobbing. HE was sobbing, murmuring under his breath.

"Why wasn't I there for her? Why didn't I search for her?" He kept repeating and repeating.

I felt bad for him, sure. But come on, he knocked up my sister. I'm still pretty pissed at that.

"Brandon?"

He whips his head up so fast, I swear he must have whiplash.

"Oh Jude, I was just...I was holding...I..." He broke into sobs again.

"Brandon, what's wrong? You can talk to me."

"Why didn't I search for her?"

"Stef told you not to, remember?"

"But still-"

"Brandon, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you where she was, but you wouldn't have found her anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"She went up to Seattle. An old foster sibling that we both liked lived up there. She stayed with her until Rose was born and then came back. Took her about 2 weeks to finally come forward. She was just to ashamed-"

"But it's my fault. I didn't do everything I was suppose to. One night I just forgot the condom-"

"This is my sister we are talking about, man. Let's cool it with the sex stories."

"Yeah, of course."

"I gotta get back up to bed, but maybe you could take care of Rose for the night. Take her up to your room, take care of her. Maybe Callie will realize that she needs you after all."

"Thanks Jude."

"And she keeps extra breast milk in the fridge when Rose gets hungry. Good night."

"Jude, thanks. Good night."

I heard Stef and Lena talking in the kitchen as I snuck into the house. Of course I eavesdrop. I need to make sure they don't know about me and Callie. She's been distant the last couple of days and I don't know why.

"She's gone", I hear Stef say.

"What?"

"Callie is gone."

WHAT?! Callie didn't run away. She couldn't have! We had been great the last month. What did I do? Did someone find out?

"Brandon!"

"Mom." Stef is giving me this weird look. Apparently I zoned out a little.

"I guess you heard that?"

"Yeah, Callie is gone."

"Do you know why? Did she talk to you?"

"Is Jude still here?"

"Yes."

"Then she must be coming back. She wouldn't leave him."

So I waited, and waited. I waited the entire summer. I waited through the first semester of college. I waited, and waited. But Callie never came back.
