Something New
Chapter 13
AN: Thank you for all the reviews. It really means a lot to me. Sorry for any mistakes. I don't own the Fosters or Good Trouble.
It has been the longest 48 hours of Jamie's life. The only time he has left Callie's side was to use the restroom and to call and check on Peyton. Callie has made it past the 48-hour mark, which the doctors were happy with her vitals. They are still keeping her in a coma for now to let her body and brain heal. True to Denis's word he took Gael into the police station to give them his statement. But the detective assigned to the case said that they need more to evidence that Amber is behind the wreck. Jamie knew since Amber was a lawyer she would cover her tracks. He needs to figure out something to keep his family safe and he is going to do whatever it takes.
Everybody has been great helping with Peyton. Even though she hasn't made it easy for them. Nobody is complaining they all feel bad for her. She has no idea where her mommy or daddy is. Lena makes breakfast and coffee, which everybody is very thankful for. "Thank you love." Stef says as she sits at the counter. "You're welcome. I think we need to get Jamie to come home and shower and spend some time with Peyton." Stef nods. "I agree. We will stay with Callie." Stef says as Jesus and Mariana join her at the counter. "Morning my loves." Both of them groan and Lena hands them both a cup of coffee. "Thank you mama. Who knew have a baby was so exhausting." Jesus says and the moms laugh at him. "I seem to recall you sleeping through her crying last night." Mariana tells him. "Normally she is a very good baby." Stef says.
After breakfast Stef lets Lena take a shower as she changes and feeds Peyton. Jesus cleans up after breakfast. Mariana is super sore but she isn't about to say anything, since she way better off then Callie. Brandon and Eliza come back over and watch Peyton while the moms head to the hospital. They stop and get breakfast and coffee for Jamie. They walk into Callie's room. "Hi Jamie. How is Callie this morning?" Stef says as she hugs Jamie. "Hi Stef. Thanks for the coffee. Her heart rate is stronger and she isn't as pale. How is Peyton?" He asks as he drinks his coffee. "You're welcome but you need to eat too. She misses you and Callie." Lena tells him. "You are going to go home and shower then spend sometime with your daughter. We will stay here with Callie." Stef tells him. Jamie really doesn't want to leave Callie but he knows Peyton needs him too. "Please call me if anything changes…" Stef and Lena both nod. "I'm going to go home and see Pey. I love you." He says as he kisses her hand.
Once he gets home and Peyton smiles and reaches for her daddy. He takes her from Eliza. "Thank you for watching her. Hi sweet pea daddy missed you so much." Jamie tells her as she snuggles into him. "You're welcome." He takes her back to his room and closes the door not wanting to break down in front of anybody. Peyton falls a sleep on her daddy's chest. Jamie wasn't about to put her in her crib he let her sleep in the bed with him. He watches her sleep for a little bit before falling a sleep. He gets woken up to yelling coming from the living room. He goes to check it out and finds his brother in law yelling at Andrew. "What the hell is going on here? If you wake up Peyton I will kill both of you." Jamie states. "I came to check on you and Peyton. I was out of town but when your dad told me what happened I went to the hospital. Stef said you were home with Peyton." Andrew says. Brandon and Jesus roll their eyes. Jamie has known Andrew his whole life so he can tell when he is lying. "Andrew you better start talking now…"
Andrew can't even look at his best friend. "Did you know she was going to try to hurt Callie?" Jamie asks and Andrew nods.
"I didn't know what she had planned. She found me looking through her files she had on Callie…"
"What do you mean files?" Jamie asks.
"Some how she got Callie's CPS file… You like the feisty ones don't you." Andrew smirks at Jamie. Jamie can't believe this was his best friend. Brandon couldn't take it anymore he punches Andrew and Andrew laughs. "Leave it to Brandon to stand up for her…"
"What's that supposed to mean? He is her brother of course he is going to stand up for her." Jamie states.
"So you don't know that her and Brandon were together?" Jamie couldn't believe what he was hearing. Jamie hit Andrew as hard as he could, knocking him out cold. He called officer Lopez to come get Andrew.
After they arrest Andrew Jamie goes to check on Peyton. Brandon follows him. "Look it was before she was adopted…" Brandon tells him and Jamie nods. "I don't care, I know she has a past we all do. What I do care about everybody throwing it back in her face." He says as he changes Peyton. "If she would have taken Robert's last name no body would question her." Brandon looks hurt. "Look I know my family doesn't come from money and is a little out there sometimes. But that's who we are." Jamie cuts him off. "That is not what I meant. I just mean they try to use her as example and most of the time they just throw her past back in her face. I love your family. Brandon hell your mom has been more of a mother to me in this past year then mine has ever been…"
Sure Jamie was a little mad that he didn't know about Callie and Brandon but with everything going on and Callie still fighting for her life he really could care less. He just wants her back. Peyton may have Jamie's eyes but the rest all Callie including her personality that is coming out more and more. He knows that she is going to be a handful when she gets older and there is no way in hell he is going through that with out Callie.
2 months later
Callie still hasn't woken up. They doctors are starting to lose hope that she ever will. But Jamie still believes she will. All of her other injuries have completely healed and every test has showed that she has good brain activity so it's just a waiting game. But the longer she is in the coma the less likely she will ever wake up. Stef has pretty much moved up to LA to help with Peyton and Callie. Lena comes up when she can. Peyton is growing like a weed. With everything that has go on she gotten very clingy especially with Stef and of course her favorite her daddy. Since Callie has been moved to a regular room Jamie takes her to visit Callie every evening after he gets off of work.
With Gael and Andrew they arrested Amber and have a very strong case against her. Jamie still can't believe his best friend had anything to do it. He had always got a long with Callie and he loved Peyton or so he thought he did. Jim was not the happiest with Jamie because when he pressed charges against Amber and Andrew their father pulled out of their business deals, which cost him a lot of money. But Jamie told him if he cares more about his business deals then his own granddaughter he wanted nothing to do with him. Jim changed his tone real fast after that.
Today has been a rough one to say the least. Diana and Stef hand talked him into postponing their wedding so he had to make all the calls to cancel everything they had already planned. Which hit him a lot harder then he thought it would. He left work early picked up Peyton and went to the hospital. "Hi babe. I missed you a lot today. I brought Pey to see you." He puts Peyton down next to her and tickles her tummy and she giggles. "She is growing so fast Cal. She reminds me of you more and more." He wipes his tears a way. "I love you Cal." He says as he kisses her hand.
A little while later Peyton starts to cry so picks her up and starts to make her a bottle. He doesn't notice Callie starting to wake up. He turns back around and notices her eyes open. "Oh my God! Callie you're a wake." Callie looks up at him confused. "Where am I?" she asks in a very horse voice. Jamie pushes the nurse call button. "You are in the hospital. You were in a car accident." Callie looks over at him and Peyton very confused, as the nurse comes in, and is very happy to see her wake. "Hi Callie my name is Erin and I'm your nurse. I'm going to let the doctor know you are awake." She leaves to get the doctor.
Callie notices Jamie has been crying and is confused about the baby he is holding. But before she could ask a team of nurses and a doctor come in. "Hi Callie. I'm Dr. Sanders. Can you tell me if anything hurts?" he nods. "That's normal as you first wake up from a coma. I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions and I want you to answer the best you can." Callie nods and the Doctor asks the questions. The doctor asks Jamie to wait outside for a little bit and he would come talk to him. Jamie calls Stef to tell her that Callie is a wake and texts the rest of the family. Stef gets there right as Dr. Sanders comes out to talk to Jamie. "It looks like she has some short term memory loss which is completely normal for a head injury. The good thing is she will get it back. She is a little confused about the baby she remembers her but she thinks she is much younger." Jamie nods. "When should her memory return?" Stef asks. "It's hard to say but don't over whelm her with information right at first and you might have to keep reminding her of things." They think the doctor and go into her room.
Stef goes over and hugs Callie and cries. "Hi my baby. I'm so happy you are awake." Callie hugs her back. "Hi mom. I'm sorry I scared everybody…" Callie can't take her eyes off Peyton. "Can I hold her?" Jamie nods and sets Peyton in her lap. "She has gotten so big." Callie says but Peyton reaches for grandma and cries. "Shh sweet pea it's okay. That's mommy…" Jamie says as he tries to settle Peyton down. "Sorry Cal she has been very clingy lately." Callie nods but Stef can tell Callie is hurt. "Why don't I take her home and give you two sometime a lone." Stef says as she takes the baby from Jamie. "I will be back tomorrow morning. I love you Cal." Callie nods. "Love you too." Stef leaves.
Jamie can tell Callie is still confused. But he can't help but smile. "Are you okay babe?" Callie sighs. "What happened? How long was I in the coma?" She asks as Jamie takes her hand. "You and Mariana were in a wreck. They didn't think you were going to make it. They lost your heartbeat twice but brought you back. They put you in a medical induced coma for two weeks but you didn't wake up when they stopped the medicine… It was two months ago." Jamie tells her as he wipes his tears away. "Is Mariana okay? Was it my fault?" She asks as she tries to process everything. "Mariana is fine. She had some minor injuries. No it wasn't your fault." He didn't want to bring Amber up right now.
He just wants to hold her. Callie pats the bed next to her and he sits on the bed and she cuddles up to him. She can tell he needs this and truth be told she does too. He kisses her head and holds her close. "If I have been in a coma for two months. How old is Peyton now?" She asks. "She is almost 5 months. She just discovered how to roll from her tummy to her back. She missed you so much. I have been trying to spend as much time with her as I could and be here with you." Jamie says. "Are you okay?" She asks as she looks up at him. "I am now. I was so scared Cal. I never gave up hope you would wake up but the doctors kept telling me the longer you were out the less likely you would ever wake up… I kept telling them that you were a fighter and would come back to us." They talked for a little longer before both of them fell a sleep. It was the best sleep Jamie has had since the wreck.
The next morning Jamie had a meeting he had to get to but Stef came to stay with Callie. Peyton stayed with Brandon. "Morning Callie." Stef says as she hugs her. "Morning mom. Where is Peyton?" Callie asks wanting to see her daughter. "She is with Brandon he is going to bring her later. She was fussy this morning." Callie doesn't say anything but she feels guilty about leaving her daughter for so long. Not that it was her fault but she can't help but feel like she has missed so much. "Thank you for helping Jamie with her." Stef nods. "You're welcome love. It was hard at first but we managed." Callie sighs. "I'm sorry mom." Callie sighs. "You have nothing to be sorry for. We are just so happy you are okay. I don't know what we would have done if we lost you Cal…" Stef says as she wipes her eyes. "Jamie was a wreck with out. He hardly left your side the first few weeks. The only time he did was to take care of Pey." Callie wipes her eyes. "And let me tell you she is defiantly your mini me. She is more and more like you everyday." Stef says smiling. They know it's still going to be a long road back to normal for Callie but they can see the light at the end of a very long tunnel.
