Stef's POV
"Lena!" I called entering the house
"Hey Babe. How was our sweet grandbaby?" she smiled
"I didn't get to see her."
"Why?" she questioned. I explained to her everything Brandon said to me and then we sat and discussed it. "Do you think we really do that?"
"Now looking at it…we did ice her out didn't we? That's all she knows…she was never loved as a child…now she went from being safe and protected to a mom who doesn't have anyone to support her aside from Brandon and the kiddos." I sighed
"I'm calling Callie." Lena got up and grabbed the phone exiting the room
I sat there so confused about when life became this screwed up. I was a grandmother…my oldest child was 17. How? How did I ice out my daughter? I love Callie…I really do.
"Okay we will see you then…I love you." Lena ended the call
"Callie and Brandon are coming over, Marianna is watching Everly." She told me
"Great…I didn't wanna face my son after what he said to me Lena!"
"You'll have to face him eventually anyway." Lena said strutting off to fix lunch
3 hours later
Callie's POV
I sat in the car waiting for Brandon to get in the car. We needed to get home to our baby girl. The moms and I worked it out for the most part…I just still worry…I don't want my daughter to grow up in a family like that…
"Hey Callie…ready to go?" Brandon said getting in the car
"Yeah. I'm ready to have my baby back in my arms." I was getting antsy.
Just then my phone rang. It was Mariana… "Hello?" I picked up
"Callie…" she was crying "I'm so sorry…she was asleep and then…I went to check on her…she she wasn't breathing…I…I don't know what's going on…I'm at the hospital…please hurry."
By this time the phone was on the floor of the car… "She…she's…at the hospital…with Everly…"
"What?!" Brandon made a sharp turn and dialed his moms.
"Callie…she'll be okay."
Later
"I'm so sorry ma'am…it was SIDS…" the doctor told Brandon and I.
"No…no…please no!" I screamed clingy to Brandon to keep from passing out
"Ma'am…I am so so sorry…if there is anything I can do please let me know…I would like you two to see a consular…she can help you deal with this kind of loss. If I could've saved her…I would've done anything…my own daughter died this way…on her birthday…"
"Oh my gosh…she can't be gone…Brandon…she can't!" I wept
Brandon held me but couldn't say anything. "Th-thank you…We…we'll be in touch…giving us today to…" he trailed off
"I got it…I'm so sorry for your loss…I'll be praying for you and your family…"
Stef's POV
I saw Callie and Brandon walk into the waiting room tears streaming down their faces. "Callie…" Marianna looked at her hoping it wasn't what we all feared
She turned away from us and leaned into Brandon. "Excuse me…" she mumbled heading into the bathroom
"Brandon?" I spook up going to him
"She's dead…my daughter…is dead…" he fell to the floor and sobbed at my feet.
"Oh Brandon…" I got to the floor wrapping my arms around him and rocking him
"She's gone…mom…" he sobbed
"Brandon…this is all my fault…" Marinna wailed
Lena took that situation. "No baby…it's not…this happens sometimes…it's called SIDS. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome…it's a very real and scary and hearth breaking thing…"
A/N: Hey guys! Sooooo…this was a very sad chapter…I have been writing this chapter for probably a month…I was so stuck…I couldn't get past the first paragraph…it was horrible…
But this is all I have and I am so sorry…I think I have a better idea in my head for the next chapter. Don't hate me please…
Write ya later.
