Disclaimer I do not own the Fosters.
Stef opened the door letting Robert in who had called to let them know he was on his way. He followed in by a by a young women who was farther along in her pregnancy then Lena was.
"Sit there" barked Robert not looking at the women as he pointed at the farthest seat from him.
"Jeez Robert be nice to the pregnant lady" joked Lena walking in and taking a seat.
"OK you be nice to the reason Callie is in a coma" said Robert sarcastically as he took a seat.
Both Lena and Stef looked at the women who's face showed nothing but shame then back to Robert.
"Are you saying this women is one of the guards that slept with Liam allowing him access to their keys?" clarified Stef.
"Yup" said Robert.
"Did he rape you?" asked Lena.
"No it was consensual" said the women.
Stef was about to scream at the women when something she never thought would happen in a million years. Lena with nothing but disgust on her face had slapped the women leaving a red mark on her face. The women looked at Lena in shock while Stef and Robert shared a look of surprise.
"You bitch!, you helped Liam escape, he raped my daughter and put her in a coma!" hissed Lena.
"I'm sorry" mumbled the women.
"Robert why is she hear?" asked Stef.
"If you plan on hitting her again don't touch the child, I brought her because I'm not leaving her alone at my house" Said Robert.
"Why is she at your house?" demanded Lena.
"Well I've been suing some people, Liam's uncle who was the warden, Liam's mother, the other guard, Callie's former doctor the one originally assigned to her, I was going to sue this women originally but then I found out she was pregnant with Liam's child so I made her a deal, I won't take everything she owns so long as she gives me the child" explained Robert.
"Your keeping Liam's child?" asked Lena surprised.
"Of course clearly this women is not competent enough to raise a child and Liam well he doesn't need to know" scoffed Robert.
"Why?" demanded Stef.
"Because I want your help to rise this child, to raise with love and money, give it everything we could never give Callie" said Robert.
"First you want to kill Callie and now you already bought her replacement, money doesn't buy everything Robert!" hissed Stef.
"No! Stop trying to make me the bad guy, I'm not trying to replace Callie I simply want this child so we can raise it the way we wish we could have raised Callie" said Robert trying to defend himself.
"You want our help in raising this child?" asked Lena raising an eyebrow.
"Sure do" said Robert.
"Ok but WHY did you have to bring HER?" asked Stef.
" Because I don't want her out of my sight and Jessica came to see me, she wants to visit Callie but I told her that was up you but I would give you her number" said Robert handing Stef a card.
"She punched me" mumbled the women.
"No one gave you permission to speak!" hissed Robert.
Stef and Lena normally were all for Women's right but they couldn't even stand looking at this women that would willingly sleep with Liam Olmstead.
"We'll call Jessica so we can set up sometimes, unfortunately it's only fair seeing as she is also one of Liam's victims" said Lena.
Brandon walked into the house wearing a uniform, he had just gotten home from work.
"You got a job?" asked Robert with mild interest.
"Yeah I got accepted into Julliard but I can really afford it so I'm trying to earn the money, I already have some money saved up from birthdays, piano tournaments, allowance and Grandma Sharon's college fund" explained Brandon.
Robert smiled at Brandon then held up one finger and pulled out his checkbook and pen, he wrote on the check then handed it to Brandon. It was a check for $1500.
"Thank you Robert but I thought you hated me?" said Brandon.
"No Brandon I don't hate you just disappointed in some of your actions, now I know that's no where near what you need but as long as you keep working and manage your time appropriately you should be able to work and go to school while racking up some student debt of course" said Robert.
"Thank you again" said Brandon.
"Yes thank you" said Lena.
"No problem that money actually came from some of the people I mentioned earlier" said Robert as he put away the checkbook and pen.
Brandon looked up from the check as he realized there was someone else in the room. He looked at her then back at Robert.
"She's of no importance" Said Robert dismissively.
Brandon looked at his moms but to his surprise Lena was ignoring the women and Stef gave him a look that said don't ask.
"I'm gonna take a shower" said Brandon.
"Ok honey" said Lena.
"I take it your not telling the kids about the father?" asked Stef.
"Not a chance, I told Sophia I was the father and that we had a sup and dom relationship which like I hoped made her leave the room" chuckled Robert.
"Lena made a show of rolling her eyes. When they first met Robert and Jill they had thought one of them was having an affair but as it turned out they had never been happy in their marriage and had a open relationship. Stef smiled but was quickly replaced by a frown.
"Hold on did you say you were suing Callie's doctor?" asked Stef.
"Sued I already did it" said Robert.
Stef and Lena shared a look.
"Don't worry I currently have a doctor I trust watching over her" said Robert.
"But why sue what did he do?" asked Lena.
"So I wasn't going to tell you until I was absolutely sure as I didn't want to give you false hope but I got a second and third opinion who both agreed that there was absolutely no possibility of Callie being fully paralyzed like the first doctor said, from what they told me the damage to her spine wasn't that severe, she might have some feeling in her legs but she wont ever be able to walk" explained Robert.
"So he was wrong why sue him for that?" asked Stef realizing now that Robert was hoping against the pulling the plug.
"No that was just a tiny thing, I sued him for the unnecessary removal of her eye, everything else from the report was necessary but not the eye" said Robert annoyed.
"She didn't lose her eye to Liam?, but Daphne said she saw blood coming from her eye" said Lena.
"It was dark out and she would have been freaking out, when the pole...pipe whatever struck Callie it cut her eye but it could have healed given time, the blood came from her eyebrow and the spot right under her it got mixed together with soil during the attack and had the doctor done the proper check he would have known that" said Robert.
Flashback.
Callie sat up in bed confused by the large room and comfortable bed. She began to fear she was back in the Olmsteads home and all the good had been a dream. She was brought out of her fears when she heard a light snoring. She looked over and smiled as Sophia rolled over. Callie wasn't used to Roberts house yet, she had come over a few times but this was the first time she had stayed the night.
Callie slipped out of bed heading to the kitchen for some water. She walked out of the kitchen when she heard sounds coming from the living room. She walked into the room looking around when she saw a cup filled with amber liquid and a bottle filled with the same. Callie began to back out of the room fear taking over.
"Hello Callie" said Robert from the chair that's back faced Callie.
"I'm sorry Robert I didn't know" said Callie as she tried not to cry while hoping she could avoid the drunken wrath she believed to be coming.
Robert looked around the armchair with confusion on his face.
Didn't know what?" asked Robert.
Callie could feel a panic attack coming on as she looked at the bottle. Robert recognized the signs of the oncoming panic attack and noticed her staring at the bottle. He grabbed the bottle and placed it in the cupboard.
"Callie look at me!" commanded Robert using his in charge voice.
Callie looked at Robert falling under the spell of Roberts tone.
"I am not drunk, I do not drink to get drunk, I am currently in charge of all my faculty's!" Spoke Robert calmly and clearly.
Callie calmed down down enough to speak up.
"I was just checking I heard some noises" said Callie.
"No you fine Callie, I was listening to radio comedy, I poured this glass nearly an hour ago, it's how I relax before bed like Stef and Lena with their wine!" said Robert.
"I'm sorry for interrupting your relax time" said Callie.
"Don't be, it gets creepy down here sometimes" said Robert.
Callie giggled a little.
"Um how did you know it was me?" asked Callie.
"Sophia is a dancer her steps are graceful and calculated, Jill walks with pride and power, the butler's walk is slow and precise, yours are cautious but you take to many steps in the process" said Robert.
"Oh" said Callie thinking about it.
"If you want I'll call Stef and Lena so you can talk to them" said Robert showing his concern.
Callie smiled. Robert was willing to help in the only way he knew how but he was trying so it was time for Callie to try as well.
"Actually can I talk to you about something?" asked Callie taking a seat.
"Sure what about?" asked Robert.
"The reason I had a panic attack" stated Callie.
"Hold on let me get us some water" said Robert.
