Disclaimer I do not own the Foster.
Callie was washing a table some people had just vacated. It had been a group of teenage boys which for reasons unknown meant it was messier then if had a toddler. Callie hated cleaning the out door tables especially when it was hot out but she didn't complain because it meant she wasn't stuck at the house with Liam. Right now Callie hated her life, she hated the tattoo Liam forced on her, she hated how he made her keep her hair long and a nasty shade of blue, he hated how he treated her and their daughter. She loved her daughter and thanked the stars that the neighbor could watch her since Liam wouldn't bother.
"Yo Callie, would you mind taking the trash out?" asked her coworker.
"Fine" said Callie.
Callie went inside grabbing the bags then back outside to the dumpster. Callie stopped in her tracks when she saw a girl sitting behind the dumpster holding a small blade while staring at her wrists.
"What are you doing?" asked Callie tired.
"Go away!" demanded the girl.
"I work here, you go away" said Callie.
"Please go away!" demanded the girl.
"Right so when the cops retrieve your body they definitely won't go inside asking questions" said Callie sarcastically.
"No one likes me, not my dad or my mom, I hate myself as well" said the girl.
"Oh boo fucking who, there are people in the world with real problems, I work with a girl who beat me up in Juvie and is desperately trying to get her daughter back, I once met a girl who's father turned her into a junkie" said Callie.
"What about you?" asked the girl wiping her tears away.
"Me?, I'm living with the guy who raped me when I was younger by choice, I sleep with him, cook for him, clean his house, I even have a daughter with him" said Callie.
"Why!" said the girl horrified.
"Because I was living on the streets and was about to become a prostitute" said Callie.
"Sure but now your a slave!" said Sophia.
"True" said Callie.
"I seriously hope your joking!" said the girl.
Callie showed the girl her right arm. The girl stared at it then pulled out her cellphone. She dialed a number then put it to ear.
"Dad it's Sophia, I...I need help, I almost did something...permanent, can you pick me up so we can talk?" asked the girl.
Callie walked away to let the girl talk to her father in private, also she had to get back to work. Callie never saw Sophia on the news so she put it out of mind.
A year later.
Callie drove trough a neighbor hood that could only be described as small mansions. Callie was looking for a specific address when she heard a whimpering from the back seat. She pulled over then checked on Metis.
"It's ok baby, you hungry?" asked Callie giving her a bottle.
Callie watched Metis for a few minutes then started driving again until she found the house. Before leaving her car she rolled down the windows then knocked on the door. A women answered the door clearly surprised to see Callie.
"Can I help you?" asked the women.
"Um I'm looking for a Robert Quinn" said Callie.
"May I ask why?" asked the women in a disgusted manor.
"Um I'm not entirely sure myself" responded Callie.
The women stared at Callie then slowly attempted to shut the door. It was then that Sophia walked up to the women.
"Hey mom can...Hey it's you!" said Sophia happily surprised.
"You know this...person?" asked the women suspiciously.
"Yeah she's the women who saved my life!" said Sophia.
"Really?, so is that why your hear, to get some kind of reward from my husband!" demanded the women.
Callie was surprised to see Sophia and was totally caught off guard by the question.
"Husband?, Who?" asked Callie confused.
"Robert is my husband so who are you?" asked the women.
"Just leaving" said Callie.
Callie turned to leave no longer sure of the situation. To be honest she had only given herself a 21% chance of success. But the outcome change as Robert pulled into the drive way. He looked over at Callie and his eye's nearly popped out of his skull.
"Colleen!" said Robert surprised.
"Who?" asked Robert's wife as she and Sophia came down the drive way.
"No I'm Callie, I'm her daughter, she died 11 years ago in a car accident" said Callie.
"I'm sorry" Said Robert.
"Dad this is the lady I was telling you about!" said Sophia.
It was then Callie noticed both Robert and his wife were staring at her right arm. She gave Sophia a dirty look.
"Hey Sophia I thought you said she walked away before you could introduce your self" said Robert.
"She didn't, in fact I wasn't looking for her, I was looking for you" said Callie.
Robert and his wife shared a look. Callie stood there nervously waiting to tell them why. Sophia walked over towards Callie's Car.
"Hey Callie your baby is awake!" said Sophia.
Callie walked over to her car followed by Robert and his wife. Callie pulled Metis out of the car and checked her diaper after she tried to give her a bottle but neither were wanted. Robert's wife looked down into the passenger's seat where some papers sat.
"What's wrong?" asked Sophia.
"She's cranky" said Callie.
"She looks like you" said Robert.
"And like Sophia" said his wife.
"What?" asked Robert turning towards his wife.
Callie looked at her as well only to her horror found she was holding Callie's birth records both the original and the revised version.
"That baby is your granddaughter" said Wife in a matter of fact tone.
"Oh come on, now if that were true then that would make Callie my daughter" scoffed Robert.
"Yes it would" said his wife with out pause.
Robert stopped thinking when he saw the the look on Jill's face. He then looked at and compared her features to Sophia.
"That can't be, that would mean Colleen was pregnant when I left!" said Robert.
"It sure would" said his wife.
"A couple months from what Donald told me" Callie chimed in.
"Ok first thing we need to do is get a paternity test" said Robert running a hand through his hair.
"No!" said Callie.
"Excuse me?" asked Robert.
"Look I don't want your money you even the chance to know you, I need a favor and you'll never hear from me again but since I saved Sophia's live you owe me a life" said Callie.
"What the hell are you talking about?" demanded his wife.
"I want...you to adopt my daughter, give her the life I never will, let her grow up safe and loved, please!" begged Callie.
Robert's wife looked at Callie seeing her for what she was. A desperate mother who wanted more then anything to be a mother but was willing to give that up if it meant the child was safe. It was a situation where the devil you knew was worse then the one you didn't. It was in that moment that she had the most respect for Callie. Robert was clearly thinking about it when Sophia broke the silence.
"Is this about Liam?" asked Sophia.
"I don't know and I can't prove it but I fear he may be..."Callie couldn't finish as her armor cracked and she nearly cried.
"Everyone in the car now, we will go and get a paternity test, if Callie is not related to us we keep the child but if she is your daughter Robert, we keep them both, Callie will get rid of that unsightly blue hair color, either remove or cover tattoo with something much nicer, maybe roses, and we'll call her our rebellious daughter, now lets go" said Jill.
