Callie POV

Over the next couple of days, I have been thinking about everything from the guardianship, Brandon, Stef and Lena, Robert to my little sister Bailee. What I know for sure is that I want to get to know Robert and Bailee. Although Robert didn't want me in the beginning, I feel he deserves another chance. I mean look at me, The Fosters have given me another chance to have a family. Although Stef and Lena are saying they are happy for me, I feel that they worry if I even want to go through the guardianship anymore. I love them but knowing that Robert is here makes me second guess it. If I live with Robert, Lena and Stef wouldn't have to take care of me and I can be with Brandon now instead of waiting. They all have been giving me my space to think of things, especially Brandon. He told me that he didn't want to hinder my decision in anyway. Does he know by being so understanding and sweet, it makes me want to be with him now? So I called everyone over today and let them know what I want to do. This will also be the first time I meet Bailee. My thoughts are interrupted when I hear the doorbell.

"Callie, Robert and Bailee are here" I hear Lena yell to me.

"Coming!" I take a deep breath and walk downstairs. When I get to the bottom, I see this dark haired girl with big brown eyes. She looks exactly like me except her skin is a little tanner than me. She is gorgeous. She has on this pretty pink dress and light makeup. I know Marianna would have a field day with her. I walk over to them both.

"Hello Robert. And you must be Bailee. I am your sister Callie" I say to her. She looks at me up and down.

"Don't you mean half-sister? I don't see it" She tells me with this little attitude. Great I have a brat for a little sister.

"Bailee! I am sorry Callie. She is a little upset with me that I never told her about you" He tries to explain

"Yes I'm upset. I mean I think I am an only child all this time and now you just happen to bring up the fact that hey you had a fling with your step-brothers girlfriend, got her pregnant, and then just left. And now you want us to "BOND". I mean what the hell" Bailee yells before walking out the door. Donald stands there shocked and disappointed while Lena and Stef stay quiet. Donald turns to get her when I stop him.

"Here let me" I tell them before I run off after her.

Bailee POV

Dad has got to be kidding me. How does he expect us to just be close after not knowing she existed? He just wants Callie to live with us so he can have a live-in babysitter so he can run off and drink like he always does. I am not stupid. Maybe if I act like I hate her, she won't like me. I want to get to know her but I want to save her from the crap I pull up with. I start walking on the beach when I get this feeling to turn around. When I do I see Callie running up to me. Crap we must be sisters if I can feel her presence.

"BAILEE, WAIT UP" Callie yells to me. I sit down so she can catch up. She sits next to me. It is quiet for a while. I don't know what to say to her and I can imagine she's as clueless as I am on how to handle this. So I decide to start.

"What do you want sis?" I tell her sarcastically.

"Look I know you are pissed. So am I. I never knew you or Robert existed. I know this is crazy but give me a chance." She tells me. I want to say yes but I keep up my attitude.

"Why, so you can just come live with us and we will be a big happy family. Don't you have a family? Why do you want mine too?" She looks down and I feel horrible about what I told her. I look away trying not to show the sad expression I know is on my face.

"Look I have been in foster care since I can remember. Although mom's and the twins are my family, they are not my biological family. All I have ever had was Jude. He is happy now since he's adopted and I am happy for him. But, I still feel like I don't belong sometimes. So when I found out who my biological father was, I wasn't that happy but when I found out I had a sister, I was ecstatic. I have another family member that I share the same blood with and I want to get to know you Bailee. I want us to be close. We have lost so many years and we can't get them back. But now I want to make up for them if you want to?" Callie says asking me. I look at her and try not to cry.

"I am sorry for being a pain. This is all new to me. But I do want to try and get to know you" I tell her. Maybe if she is around, my dad will stop drinking so much and be happy. Ever since mom died, it has been horrible. Maybe Callie can make him happy again since I obviously don't.

"Great. Let's head back to the house" I nod and get up and we both start walking.

"Hey my dad said there was another boy there that's around your age. You didn't mention him as family. What's his deal" She starts blushing hard.

"Oh, that's Brandon. We are together but not right now. He's the reason I am not getting adopted but am going with the guardianship instead. It's complicated" She tells me.

"Oh come on. I am not a baby. I see what's going on. You both love each other but you can't be boyfriend/girlfriend and sister/brother, right? Ewww."

"Yeah that about sums it up" she says looking at me. All of a sudden we both start laughing. I think I am going to like having a big sister. Maybe I can give her some fashion tips.

When we get back to the house, everyone is waiting on us. Then I see this talk dark haired boy with green eyes that wasn't there when I first came. I nudge Callie and whisper in her ear.

"Hey is that Brandon" She looks at him and smiles

"Yeah"

"Man, I'd give up adoption too" I guess I said that too loud because Brandon looks at me and start to blush.

"So you must be Bailee. I am Brandon" He introduces himself to me and sticks his hand

"Yes you are" I tell him shaking his hand. Callie just starts laughing and then introduces me to everyone else. They all seem nice. I wouldn't mind being in this family.

Callie POV

So everyone is here and I sit them all down so I can tell them my decision.

"Okay everyone so I do want to thank you all for giving me some time to think about all of this. I had to weigh all my options but I decided that I do want to get to know Robert and Bailee more. They are my blood family. But, the Fosters are also my family so I still want them to file for guardianship over me. I know that might not make sense since I want to spend time with Robert but" I turn to Stef and Lena "You both are my moms and I don't want to lose you, or you Jesus and Marianna. So Robert, please sign the papers terminating your rights." I say to him. He looks at me with a sad look but he understands. I need some stability and who knows if Robert is even a good guy. I want to have the Fosters in my life and I don't want to jeopardize that. I then turn to Brandon. "Brandon, I know this way we will still have to wait until we are 18 but I want to be part of your family and we will have our time. I love you and that will never change." I tell him and he smiles. He is the love of my life and we will be together.

"Callie, I understand. I know you want stability. But I really want to know you and I want you and Bailee to get close." Robert tells me before signing the papers.

"I promise we will. Right Bailee?" I ask her. She gives me a big smile.

"Right"
