Callie's POV
I walked into Roberts house; Sofia closely following. I cradled Stevie in my arms. "Thanks for letting me move in for a little while." I told Robert as he carried in my suitcases
This wasn't forever but it had to work for right now. "You are my daughter Callie; I wish you would've told me, I could've helped you more."
"I know...I was afraid if I came here, you'd just call my mom's." I whispered
"I would've, but you wouldn't have been alone." He told me honestly
"I didn't know which road to choose."
"I know." He hugged me. "Soph, go help Callie and Stevie unpack."
"I'll have moms Bring her crib over tomorrow."
"Wait to make that call until you go to your room." He told me
"Okay…" I hesitated taking the stairs slowly
Sophia led me to the room at the end of the hallway. It had double doors and when she opened them my breath caught in my throat. It was beautiful. French doors leading out to a balcony and a huge end suite, there was an open room connecting to the bathroom. It appeared to be an old library, now converted into a nursery.
"Dad says it's so you always have a place to run too if you need us." Sophia said "I hope you like the nursery I designed it." She bit her lip nervously
"I'm sure I'll love it Soph." I told my baby sister
"Can we take a look?" I asked
"Yeah!" She said smiling and skipping to the nursery
She opened the doors and I saw a light gray room, the wall that the dark wooden crib was against was white. Her changing table matched the crib. There was a rocking chair set up in the corner. It was my dream nursery.
"Sophia…" I had no words
"Do you like it?" she asked
"This is my dream Nursery…when I found out she was a girl; I knew I couldn't afford this but I went to look…this is the pattern I chose, of course I couldn't afford it I just dreamt it up."
"Callie, I'm so happy you're here." She smiled
"I wish it were under different circumstances, but I am happy too." I hugged my sister carful of my daughter
I laid Stevie down in the beautiful crib and grabbed my bags. Soph started hanging my clothes in my closet, and I hung Stevie's in the other side of the walk in closet.
"Sophia, are you okay with this?" I asked my younger sister
"Callie, I've missed you so much; I am more than happy to be here for you and Stevie." Sophia hugged me
"I love you Soph."

Sorry for the time jump guys, but I have major writers block.
Brandon's POV
It's Stevie's birthday party today. I haven't seen her since she was 8 months old. Callie brought her to visit me only once. She told me it was too hard right now, but today is our second chance. Things with Court didn't work out, her and Mason is happier on their own right now. I didn't realize that I understood that until Stevie came into my life. Callie was still living at Roberts, but visits the house often.
"Moms?" I said coming into the house
"Hey B!" Lena hugged me "How's Julliard?"
"It's great, but it's nice to be home for a while."
I did end up going off to Julliard; I didn't want to leave Callie and the baby; although we agreed space was best for now. She sent me pictures sometimes, but I want to really meet my daughter. I was ready, we were ready. I heard Callie's voice in the kitchen. Lena and I walked slowly into the kitchen, I felt my anxiety growing.
"Brandon!" Callie smiled "I'm so glad you could make it!" she hugged me
I was surprised but hugged her back. "How's school?" she asked
"It's everything I could've dreamed of and more." I told her honestly. I was living my dream.
"That's great, I am so happy for you." She smiled and I could tell she was truly happy.
"Mama!" A cry erupted from the baby monitor attached at her hip.
"Oh, Excuse me. Duty calls." She smiled hurrying up the stairs to get our daughter.
When she came back downstairs she had Stevie on her hip, she was laying her head on Cal's shoulder. When she saw me she head perked up. "Da!" she reached out for me
I happily took her. My daughter. My family. "I've missed you Callie, I've missed you too Princess."
"So, have you started school yet Cal?" I asked her
"Not Yet, I really think I won't end up going until she's in school, that's only like 3 more years, and I mean the schools out in New York. I really think I need to be with moms and everyone who have more time to help with Stevie. You're super busy with school and I can't take time out of Julliard."
I reached down and grabbed her hand with my free hand. "I'm here for you, you are my family Callie. You and Stevie come before school."
"I can't let you do that Brandon, not yet. This is your dream and I am so proud of you. I just wish we saw you more."
"You can always fly out to New York."
"You try driving to the store with a toddler. Going cross-country? You're insane." Her smiled still lights up a room
"I fall more in love with you every day, you know that right?" I asked her
"I do."
Callie's POV
It's my daughters second birthday today, and everything is perfect. Her dad is here, Brandon…I don't really know what our 'relationship status is right now, but I love him. Things with AJ ended not long after I came home. He didn't want this life, it wasn't his choice. I never blamed him, not once did I regret my decision to keep my daughter. She is my everything.
As you probably have figured out I am not adopted. By the time the adoption would've been processed I would've been 18, and I am a member of this family, I never needed a piece of paper to tell me that. Stef and Lena struggled with that decision for a while, but it was for the best. They understand Brandon and I's love now.
"Babe?" Brandon said
"Yeah?" I said snapping out of my daze
"Where did you just go?" he asked me setting Stevie in her playpen
"I was just thinking about the last two years, how much has changed." She smiled "I love you B." She told me
"I love you more Cal."
*1 Year Later*
I watched him get down on one knee and felt the whole world around me stop. This was the moment I dreamed of for so long. Our daughter was in my arms wearing a shirt that said, 'Marry daddy.'
"Momma! Say Yes!" Stevie said
Brandon and I both let out a chuckled. "Yes, I will marry you."
*3 months later*
We got in the limo headed off to our honeymoon. It was now or never. "B…I'm pregnant." I whispered
"What?" he smiled at me
"Are you mad?"
"No, not one bit. We made it work the first time, we can do it again this time. In New York, in our home." He kissed me.
A/N: Okay guys, I am super sorry, I ran out of ideas. If you want an epilogue let me know! I'd be more than happy to give you one. Just let me know!
