8 Months Later
The last eight months have flown bye. Callie and Jamie are coming up on their one-year wedding anniversary. Like every couple they have had their share of arguments but over all it has been a pretty great first year. Peyton is 20 months old and it seems that the terrible two's have started early. She is still very much a daddy's girl but has become very independent. Peyton is getting to be quite the talker and is super smart for her age.
Eliza and Brandon have an adorable redheaded baby boy. His name is Caleb Michael Foster. Since Eliza is out of town a lot still Callie and Jamie help Brandon when he has to work. Peyton still isn't to sure about him. She is getting better now that she getting a little older. She hasn't quite grasped the sharing idea yet especially with her parents or Stef. Jamie and Callie decided that it was time for Peyton to go to day care where she can play with kids her own age. Callie had to laugh when Jamie found out her first friend is a little boy named Dylan.
Callie has been working on several tough cases. But she promised Jamie that she would take today off so they would have a three day weekend to celebrate their anniversary. Of course Callie wanted to spend the weekend with her husband and daughter but half of her would really like to sleep most of it too. She hasn't felt very well the past couple of days and figured she caught the stomach bug Peyton had. Callie decided to make her weekly run to the store on her way home so she wouldn't have to later. As she was she realized how long it had been since she had to buy tampons. Callie grabbed a couple of pregnancy tests before checking out and heading home.
Jamie was already home with Peyton. They were playing in the back yard so Callie puts the stuff she bought a way she takes the tests and hides them in their bathroom before joining them outside.
"Hi mama." Peyton says as she runs over to her. Callie picks her up and kisses her cheek.
"Hi sweet pea. Are you having fun with dada?" Peyton nods as Jamie walks over to them. Peyton wants back down so Callie sets her down and Jamie wraps his arms around Callie.
"Hi babe. How was your day?" Callie asks as she kisses him.
"Hi, it was okay. But it's better now that your home…" Callie smiles.
"I missed you too."
After dinner Jamie cleans up the kitchen while Callie tries to give Peyton her bath.
"No baft mama!" Peyton pouts. Peyton loves bath time but the last few days she has made bath time a challenge.
"Yes Peyton you need a bath." Callie says as she undresses her daughter. Once Peyton is in the tub she starts to play in the water while Callie washes her. After the bath Callie finally gets her dressed in her pajamas.
"Do you want mama or dada to read tonight?" Callie doesn't know why she even asks because she always says dada.
"Dada." Jamie grabs a book and her stuffed elephant. Peyton crawls up on his lap, she snuggles into her daddy as she holds peanut her elephant close and sucks her thumb. Callie smiles at the sight.
Callie heads to their bathroom to take the pregnancy tests she bought. This time is so different from when she first took last time. She doesn't want to get her hopes up because she has been disappointed before when it was negative. She is lost in her thoughts when the timer goes off. She takes a deep breath and looks at them. They are both are positive, Callie is beyond excited. She takes them downstairs and waits for Jamie to come back down. Two books later Jamie comes back down stairs and joins Callie on the couch. He notices the smile on her face.
"She is finally a sleep."
"Good. So you know how I haven't felt every good the last couple of days?" Jamie has a feeling he knows where this is going but he wants to hear it from her.
"Yeah. Are you okay?"
Callie nods and smiles. "Better than okay. I was at walmart and happened to walk down the tampon isle and realized that I'm late…" Callie hands him the two positive pregnancy tests. Jamie looks at them and gets a huge smile on his face.
"We are going to have another one?" Callie nods and he kisses her deeply.
"Happy early anniversary baby. I love you."
"I love you too Cal. I love you so much."
Jamie grins as he picks Callie up and heads to their bedroom. Callie kisses him deeply and full of love. Jamie takes her shirt off then kisses and nibbles on her neck. Callie moans softly as he kisses down her body. He stops at her stomach and smiles up at her.
"Hi in there, I'm your daddy and I love you so much." Callie smiles as she runs her fingers through his hair. Jamie looks up at her and she has tears in her eyes. Jamie knows they are happy tears. She was beginning think she wasn't going to get pregnant again.
After Jamie holds Callie close with a protective hand on her tummy. Just when Jamie thinks he couldn't possibly love Callie anymore then he already does she proves him wrong.
The next morning Callie calls her doctor to make an appointment. She was surprised when they said they had an opening that afternoon. She calls Brandon to see if he can watch Peyton while they go to the appointment. She starts breakfast but the smell gets to her and she runs to the bathroom. Jamie is getting ready in the bathroom when she comes in. He holds hair back. She cleans up after she is done.
"I will finish breakfast. Why don't you lay down for a while." Jamie says softly. Callie nods and goes back to bed. Jamie gets Peyton up and takes her downstairs while he finishes her breakfast. He brings up some toast and orange juice for Callie. She is a sleep so he puts it on the nightstand.
Callie wakes up a while later feeling much better. She takes a shower and gets dressed then goes to find Jamie and Peyton.
"Hey are you feeling better?"
"Yes much. Thank you. I made a doctors at one"
"You're welcome. Wow I didn't think you could get in so fast."
"They had an opening. Brandon said he would watch her while we go." Jamie nods.
"We better get going then."
They drop Peyton off and head to the appointment. Callie fills out the paper work. A few minutes later the nurse calls her back. She checks her vitals and asks her some questions. The nurse gives Callie a gown to change into and tells her Dr. Green will be in shortly. Callie changes and sits on the exam table. Dr. Green knocks on the door before she comes in.
"Hi Callie, Hi Jamie. It's good to see you again." They both say hello, as she washes her hands.
"So I see you took two pregnancy tests and they were positive?"
"Yes. I hadn't been feeling very well and realized that I was late." Dr. Green nods.
"Okay so lets take a look." Callie puts her legs in the stirrups and Dr. Green does the ultrasound. Jamie holds her hand. She smiles as she shows the couple the screen. When they hear the heartbeat they both have tears in their eyes. Jamie kisses Callie's head not taking his eyes off the screen.
"Everything looks great. According to this you are seven weeks pregnant. Congratulations I know you guys have been trying for a while now." She finishes her exam. She makes some notes on her computer.
"Your baby is due July 31st. But as you know babies don't pay much attention to due dates." She says as she writes Callie a prescription for prenatal vitamins.
"Thank you Dr. Green." Callie says.
"You're welcome Callie. Here are your pictures and your prescription. Please call me if you have any questions." She gives them to Callie. Dr. Green shakes their hands before she leaves. Callie gets dressed as they leave they make her next a appointment.
"I'm starving can we get lunch before we go get Peyton?" Callie asks.
"Of course baby. What do you feel like?"
"Just a sandwich or something." Jamie nods and drives to the favorite lunch spot.
They spend the rest of the weekend celebrating their anniversary. Since the first anniversary tradition is a paper gift. Callie got Jamie Dodgers season tickets and Jamie got Callie front row tickets to her favorite band. Also Jamie took her to a very nice dinner at the hottest new restaurant in LA. They also took Peyton to see Santa, like most kids Peyton didn't think Santa was so great. They decided to tell their families the news on Christmas. They decided to have some fun with this one, so they took a picture of Peyton by a sign saying, being promoted to big sister in July. Jamie and Callie had to laugh at the look the look on Peyton's face in the picture. They haven't told her yet; they want to wait until Callie starts to show. They frame the pictures for their parents.
Christmas with Jamie's family was nice but with Jamie and his brother not talking because of the whole family business thing. Which Jim still is trying to get Jamie to start working with him. Just to keep the peace Jamie agreed to think about it some more. Peyton kept them all entertained opening the gifts. She even tried to open Caleb's. The last gift was the one for Jim and Diana. Jim held Peyton and let her help. They were super excited when they read the sign. So was Brandon and Eliza, they promised not so say anything until the rest of the family opened their gifts. After they drove down to San Diego.
Jamie, Brandon and Stef stayed up most of the night putting together the kid's toys from Santa. The next morning Lena and girls made a big breakfast. Callie tried really hard not to get sick. Jamie was one step head her.
"Why don't we give them the gift?" Callie nods and goes to the living room and grabs the gifts. She hands them to Stef and Lena. They were a little surprised but Stef knew something was up with her daughter. They opened them and both of them screamed and hugged Callie and Jamie. It scared poor Caleb and he started to cry.
"Okay what in the world is going on?" Mariana asks.
"Peyton is going to be a big sister…" Callie tells the rest of the family and they all join in on the excitement. Jesus and Emma shared a look that Callie didn't miss.
"Okay what is up with you two?" Callie asks. Emma nods and smiles.
"Emma is pregnant too." Jesus says and everybody is shocked but incredibly happy for them.
"Don't be getting any ideas Ms. Thang." Stef tells Mariana and Raj.
"Don't worry I'm not going to be having a baby anytime soon."
They finished breakfast and opened all of their gifts and Peyton plays more with boxes than the actual toys that came in them. They spend the rest of the day with family. They had a great Christmas. They had a very quiet New Year's; since Callie can't drink they decided to stay home. Callie offered to watch Caleb so Brandon and Eliza could go out to dinner with their friends. Callie was surprised when Peyton actually wasn't jealous of Caleb.
A week later Jamie had to fly up to the state capital for a new client. Callie had been in court all week on the big case they had been working on. Callie hadn't felt very good all day but she couldn't call in. She texted Brandon and asked him if he could pick up Peyton from daycare and keep her for the night. The case wasn't going like they had planned so they were going to be working late. She got back to office after court had got out for the day.
She went to bathroom and saw she was bleeding, more then the normal spotting that can happen. Callie of course is freaked out, she told her boss what was going on and went to the hospital. She called Dr. Green on her way. Luckily she was already at the hospital and met Callie in the ER. Dr. Green took her straight back and did an ultra sound and Callie could tell by the look on her face.
"Callie I'm so sorry but I can't find the heart beat…" Dr. Green tells her and Callie breaks down.
"Would you like me to call Jamie? We will need to do a DNC, which makes sure everything is cleaned out. We will have to put you under for it."
"Jamie is out of town. I can call my sister." Dr. Green nods. Callie calls Mariana and asks her to come to the hospital. She can't tell her what is going on but Mariana figured it out and promises her she will be there shortly.
Mariana gets there and Callie completely losses it. Mariana holds her sister as she cries. She doesn't know what to say she just rubs her back.
"I need to call Jamie…" Callie says through her tears.
"Do you want me to call him?" Callie shakes her head no. She gets her phone and calls him.
"Hi babe. I was just about to call you. I'm on my way to the air port."
"Jamie… I'm at the hospital… I was bleeding and they couldn't find a heart beat…" Callie starts to cry all over again.
"I'm so sorry Cal. I will be there as fast as I can. Is there anybody with you?" Jamie is trying really hard not to cry.
"Mariana is here. Dr. Green has to do a procedure that I have to be put under for."
"I love you Callie. I will be there as soon as I land."
"I love you too."
Dr. Green comes back and gets Callie ready to go upstairs. She tells Mariana to wait up in the O.R waiting room and she will let her know as soon as she out. Mariana tells Callie that she will be waiting for her and that it will be okay. When they take Callie upstairs Mariana calls her mom.
"Hi Ms. Thang. What's going on?"
"Mom Callie had a miscarriage and they just took her up for a DNC. Jamie is flying in from Sacramento…" She says as she starts to cry for her sister.
"Okay mama is in Sacramento but I will be there as soon as I can. Thank you for being there for Callie. I know it means a lot."
"She is so sad mom. I don't know what to say to her."
"Honey you remember with when we lost Frankie all you can do is love her and be there for her even if she tries to push us way."
A couple of hours later Dr. Green comes out to let Mariana know that everything went good and that she can stay with her while she wakes up. Once she is awake and everything is okay Callie can go home. The Doctor takes her back to see Callie. She texts her mom to head to Callie's house that she will be going home tonight. Then she texts Jamie to let him know she out but still a sleep. Callie wakes up a little while later. Dr. Green tells her what to expect and then discharges her. Mariana drives her home, once they get home Callie goes up to her room and goes to bed not saying a single word. Mariana texts Jamie telling they are at home.
Thirty minutes later Jamie comes in. He hugs Mariana and thanks her for being there for Callie. Jamie asks Mariana to go get Peyton from Brandon's. Callie needs her little girl close to her. Jamie goes up to their room Callie looks up and starts crying all over again. Jamie crawls in bed next to her and holds her close.
"I'm so sorry Callie. I need you to know this was not your fault. I talked to Dr. Green she said this things happen sometimes and there isn't anything anybody could have done." Jamie cries with her.
"I know it's not my fault but just feel so empty… Our baby is gone…"
Stef pulled up right as Mariana was leaving to get Peyton. So she went with her. They told Brandon and Eliza what happened. Once they get back to the house Stef sits on the couch with Peyton.
"Peyton baby I need you to be a very good girl for your mama and dada. They are very sad right now and could use some of your special cuddles. Can you do that for Nama?"
Peyton nods. Stef takes her up to her parent's room. She knocks before going inside. Stef's heartbreaks when she sees how broke Callie looks. Peyton smiles and reaches for her mama. Stef hands her to Callie and then kisses Callie's head.
"I love you bug. Mama loves you too. I will be downstairs if you two need anything." Callie nods.
"I love you too."
