THAT EVEVING...
THE DEEKS HOUSEHOLD...
CALLIE'S P.O.V.
Every since I talked to D.J. this morning I had been doing a lot of thinking, but I am still not sure what I want to do.
A part of me wants to keep this baby, but the other part knows D.J. is right about what he said earlier.
FLASHBACK *
"Where do we start?" D.J. asked and I looked at me. "That's what I was going to ask you." I admitted.
"I don't know. Do you want to keep the baby? I think that is the first thing we need to decide." D.J. told me.
"I want to keep this baby, but at the same time...I-I'm scared and I don't know that I am ready to be someone's mom yet." I said looking out at the ocean.
"I'm scared to, Cal..." D.J. confined in me.
"Do you want to keep this baby? What do you think we should do?" I asked and D.J. gave a sigh.
"I think that we're to young right now and the best thing for this baby would be to give him or her up..." D.J. began and I felt the tears in my eyes.
"So you think we should give this baby up and never see him or her again?" I asked as the tears started to fall. "You asked me what we should do and that is just what I think." D.J. shot back frustrated.
"You just don't want to take responsibility for a baby you helped to create." I claimed and tried to get up.
"You know I will help anyway I can, Callie, it's just..." D.J. stopped.
"Just what?" I asked glaring at me through tears. "Don't cry, Cal...we're not ready to be parents. You said yourself that you're are not ready to be someone's mom yet," D.J. said throwing my words back at me..
"Well it does not matter weather I am ready to be a mom or not...this baby is coming and I intend to raise this baby! Even if you choose not to be a part of our lives!" I yelled and began to cry harder at the thought of giving up my baby.
"Callie, calm down..." D.J. said as he reached over to take my hand, but I yanked my hand back and glared at him. "D-don't touch me! C-calm down; y-you want m-me to calm d-down? You d-don't care about this b-baby or h-how I feel!" I yelled between sobs angry at him..
"Callie, that is not true. Of course I care and I said I would be there to help you anyway I can. But we are just teenagers...what do we know about raising a baby?" D. . "Nothing, but w-we can figure it out." I said desperate for him to see my point of view.
D.J. closed my eyes and took a deep breath, before looking over at me again.
"What if something happens? I mean our parents work for NCIS and this baby is as much a target as you, Dani and me. I mean look at what has happened already. This baby would be safer if we gave him or her up for adoption. Hetty could help us find someone." D.J. pointed out and I knew he was right.
"How do we know that the couple we give this baby to would take good care of him or her? How do we know they do not have something against NCIS or some connections to someone who wants to hurt our families?" I countered.
"Because Hetty would know...that's why we could ask for her help." D.J. responded. "I-I can't give this baby up, D.J. don't you understand that? I-I can't just give him or her up and never know what happened." I said looking at him, begging him to understand.
"Okay, how about we see if we can get both of our families together tonight and see what they can do to help us?" D.J. suggested. "Okay," I whispered with a nod.
"I know you're scared, Callie and I am to." D.J. reminded me as I started to calm down. *
END FLASHBACK
I looked around at everyone eating and talking, then looked at D.J. who was looking at me.
"Can we talk...just me and you before we talk to everyone else?" I asked and D.J. nodded getting up we headed into the kitchen.
KITCHEN...
CALLIE & D.J.
"What did you want to talk about?" D.J. asked me. "I have been thinking all day about what we talked. Maybe adoption would be better, but I am still scared whoever we give this baby to could be someone with a grudge against NCIS." I admitted.
"Let's talk to everyone and see if they can help us and you know that Grandma Hetty watched over Callen after his mother was killed, so we can trust her to find someone for our baby if adoption is what you want to do. I don't think we are ready to be parents, but you have become one of my best friends and I will do what I can to support you." D.J. told me.
BACK IN THE LIVING ROOM…
D.J.'S P.O.V.
We walked back into the living room and I cleared my throat to get everyone's attention. Everyone stopped talking turning their attention to Callie and I.
"Ca...Callie and I have decided we want to give the baby up for adoption, but we need help so this baby will be protected." I stated looking from my parents, to Dani, to Callie's parents, Uncle Sam, Uncle G. and finally Hetty. "We were hoping that you could help us find someone to adopt this baby, Hetty." Callie said looking at Hetty.
"Of course, my dears. I will see what I can do." Hetty promised.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
It seems Callie and D.J. have made their decision.
The next chapter will skip ahead a little bit and they will possibly find out if the baby is a boy or a girl.
