Hey guys so I know this is a really short chapter, I'm sorry! But I wanted to do this little reunion scene and whatnot before we get down to the details of Callie's concussion and memory loss. I hope you like it though:)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Stef stepped through the doors threshold, and was shocked by what she saw. Her wonderful Callie was laying on a hospital bed, bruised and battered. Stef practically ran to Callie's beside, but she had to keep reminding herself that Callie may not remember her.

"St-Stef?" Callie asked timidily.

Stef was surprised at how scared Callie's voice was, but nodded at the girl. "Hey sweets. H-How are you? Are you okay? D-Do you remember me hun? Do you remember anything?"

Callie ignored the question and asked Stef what the question that had been on her mind since she had woken up. "Do you have Jude? Is he okay?" Callie asked nervously.

Stef had to chuckle to herself. Callie's selflessness never ceased to amaze her.

"Oh yes honey. He's with Lena, and the Twins, and Brandon. He's fine. How are you though?" Stef answered.

Callie sighed in relief when she heard Stef say he was safe. Now that that was out of the way, Callie was finally able to think about herself. She mentally accessed her memories, and was suprised at how much she remembered.

"Uh, I'm okay. I think I remember some thing's. Bits and pieces..." Callie replied vaguely.

"Honey, do you remember me? Or Lena?" Stef asked gently, as she squeezed Callie's hand.

"I-I think for the most part, I remember. I remember enough to know that I've really really missed you though," and then, shocked both herself and Stef by throwing her arms around the blond woman and hugging her tightly.

Stef was taken aback, but quickly recovered and hugged Callie back. Callie began to cry softly into Stef's shoulder. As if the flood gates had opened, the small amount of tears from Callie turned into giant, heartwrenching sobs. Stef just held the girl tightly, and rubbed circles on her back comfortingly.

"I'm sorry, Stef. I'm so so sorry" Callie cried into her shoulder.

"Shhh, baby girl. Its okay now. Its all okay. I've got you, you're safe" Stef cooed back to Callie.

After about 5 minutes of crying from Callie, she finally pulled herself together somewhat. She seperated herself from Stef, and wiped her test stained cheeks with her palms. Callie happened to glance up at the door, and was suprised to see Sandy standing there, crying as well. Sandy noticed the young girl looking at her and began backing out of the room.

"I'm sorry. I didnt meant to intrude, that was just so incredible" Sandy said nervously.

Stef turned around, "You're fine! Thank you so much for bringing me to her. I wouldn't have been able to find her so fast if it weren't for you. My wife and I owe you so much" Stef replied gratefully.

Sandy shook it off, "You dont owe me anything! Anyone in my position would've wanted to help! But I'm going to leave you two alone to catch up, I'll be at the front desk if you need anything, and while I'm on my way back up there I'll find Callie's doctor and tell him whats going on so he can come give you a more in depth report of Callie's injuries and what not" Sandy said as she began to leave.

"Thank you so much, Sandy" Stef replied before turning back to Callie.

Callie scooted over on the hospital, which confused Stef, until the girl spoke. "W-Will you lay next to me? I-I dont want you to leave" Callie asked timidly, afraid of the rejection she was sure she would hear.

"Ofcourse, baby girl" Stef gently said as she climbed into the hospital be next to Callie. Stef wrapped her arm protectively around Callie, and kissed her on the forehead. Before Stef knew it, she looked down and saw Callie sleeping peacefully on Stef's chest.

"I'd never leave you, Callie. Never" Stef whispered to the young girl.
