Months flew by, after that day; every time Brandon's mom wouldn't show up, either Jill or Robert or the driver, will escort the boy home, much to Callie's delight.
Callie and Brandon grew closer, they were like best friends now, knowing a lot about each other; he told her how he felt lucky to have two moms and a dad, how he felt happy having Marianna and Jesus first as foster-sibling then as he told Callie, how awesome it was to be their big brother. Callie opened up with Brandon, telling him about her awesome family, about her privilege life, how amazing being Sophia's sister was, but also admitting how much she wanted another sibling, maybe a brother, but her wish never being granted by her parents. They talk a lot, not only at the music school, but also trough text messages, and phone calls, sometimes Brandon would be invited over, play the piano, hung out not only with Callie, but also with Sophia.
The first time Callie went to Brandon's, it was a Saturday afternoon, after lunch, where Sophia gushed a lot over the subject, Robert drove Callie to the Foster's house.
"Ok sweetheart,i'll came and get you around 6pm? Right before dinner, because granny and gramps are coming over, ok?" Robert said as Callie slips out of the car.
"I know dad, don't worry, i can't skip dinner, i haven't seen them in so long" she said, giving her dad a flying kiss.
"Enjoy honey" Robert calls her out, before seeing Brandon coming over "Hey buddy! Look out for my little girl!"
"Yes sir, don't worry, my mom is in there" Brandon responded.
Knowing her daughter was fine, Robert set off.
"Hey i hope you don't mind, my moms are fostering a new kid" he said as they walked down the pathway.
"Oh come on, it's no big deal, what's his name anyway?" she asked with a smile
"Jude, i forgot to mention it, he has been staying her for a few weeks, poor boy, he lost his mom and his dad is in prison." Brandon said, remembering what his moms told them about Jude "he is a quiet boy, doesn't speak much".
"Poor boy, i can't even immagine what he must be feeling" Callie said as they were in the porch
"So, as you know my family is kind of different, they are a little crazy and since, you know, we have been friends for a while, they are excited about meeting you, so don't freak out, they might have had a high dose of happiness today" he said to her as a warning from his crazy family.
"Brandon, you don't need to worry, they are for sure not as bad as my family who went ballistic of you, like you were my boyfriend or something" she replayed with a smile, and with that Brandon opened the door.
The house was pretty, not as big as her's, but the nice feeling of home, of tranquility and serenity was there. Toys were scattered around what she thought to be the living room, papers were in the dinning table, a nice, warming cookie's smell came from the kitchen, she loved home made cookies; as Brandon noticed how Callie was taking in her surroundings, he smiled, he was very happy to have her there, they have been friends for a while, and he couldn't wait for her to meet his family… and speaking of family, where were they?
"Moms? Jesus? Marianna?Jude? Anybody's here? Are you all playing hide and seek?" he called out, though the house as he and Callie were handling toward the kitchen.
"Oh, Brandon we are in the Kitchen" A feminine voice respond
As they made their way into the kitchen, Callie saw a heartwarming scene in front of her that she smiled.
"Callie, i would like you to meet my family, this is my mom, Stefanie" he said pointing a blond woman who smiled at her
"Hi Callie, you can call me Stef" she said
"Hi, Stef" Callie said with a smile of her own
"This is my other mom, Lena" Brandon said as another woman approach them
"Hi, Lena" she said as she shake the woman's hand, both with a smile on their face.
After that, they all went to the backyard where Brandon's siblings were playing around; they all stopped as they saw the four of them on the patio. Marianna was very curious about the mystery girl Brandon had been hanging out with for the past few months, so as she saw Callie, she ran toward her and with a big fat smile she introduce herself, much to Jesus' annoyance.
"Hi there, you must be Callie, i'm Marianna, Brandon's sister"
"Oh, hi Marianna, nice to meet you" Callie answered after the initial shock presentation.
"Please excuse my sister, nice to meet you by the way Callie, i'm Jesus, this little brat's brother" Jesus said as he stood besides Marianna.
"Well, guys, I'm honored to finally meet you, thanks for having me this afternoon" She said after Jesus had introduce himself, not knowing that at the edge of the backyard, a lonely boy hides from the family member of his foster home, he was very sad, he missed both of his parents, he wanted to cry, but as his dad always told him, no boy can cry because that shows weakness, besides, only girl are allowed to.
"Oh Callie, we were so happy when we heard Brandon had a new friend to hung up with, we would have invited you earlier but we had a few divergency" Lena said as she put some drinks on the table.
"Speaking of, there is a new member you haven't met yet, he is our new foster kid" Stef said, looking around the backyard for any sight of the missing member.
"Hey Jude, come out right now, we are not playing hide and seek!" Marianna suddenly screamed.
"Shut up Marianna, you're gonna break our ears!" Jesus said, as he removed his hands from his covered ears.
A little boy, who, at first didn't want to meet the stranger girl, was like driven to her by an-unknown force; he like how nice her voice was, it was very relaxing, like his mom's voice was. He din't know why, but as he heard Stef and Lena, calling out for him, his body started to move toward the cute girl who was Brandon's friend.
"Oh here he is, Callie, i want you to meet Jude, hey man, this is my friend Callie" Brandon said as Jude came to the patio because he was the first to spot him leaving his hide-out, to came forward, toward them.
"Hey Jude, nice to meet you" Callie said with a warming smile that made Jude thinking more of his mom who would never come back; he was excited to meet her, but now, as Jude stood in front of him, he couldn't stop himself for wanting his mom back. He didn't smile, he run back upstairs so no one could see his tears.
Oh, please, now i'm gonna ask a very important question, and i would like a few reviews on the matter: Shall Jude be hostile at first with Callie or should he warm up a bit?
Thanks for reading =)
