Marianna's POV
I held my beautiful daughters in my arms…We were on our way down to the car, but first we were going to visit Callie, they were being released later today. "Hey Callie!" I smiled as they wheeled me into the room
"Hey." She smiled
"They are beautiful…" she commented
"Callie…meet Callie," the nurse transferred the baby to Callie. "She's amazing…"
"So are you." I told her
"Hey Mari." Brandon came in holding his son
"May I see that little one?" I asked
"Henry meet you Aunt Marianna." He said laying Henry in my free arm then taking Elizabeth
"Just like when we had the twins. Having to juggle." Callie laughed
We finished up and went down to where Josh was waiting in the car. "Hey babe." He kissed me helping me get the girls in the car
"Home we head…to rest in our own bed." Josh said
Callie's POV
Henry was home and asleep, this momma could use a nap, but that doesn't happen with 4 other kids who need me. I turned the baby monitor on and clipped the other end to my side. "Okay, time for lunch." I sighed. Brandon was back at work and the kids were playing in the playroom. Elisa, Hayden, June, and Cameron filed in and sat at the table. I placed their sandwiches in front of them with their choice of milk, chocolate or plain. "We are glad your home momma. Daddy doesn't make PB and J's like you." Elisa smiled taking a bite
I felt more tired trying to keep up with them now than when I was pregnant. There was a knock on the door. I opened it allowing Robert and Charlie in. "Hi." I sighed
"You okay?" he asked
"Nothing a nap wouldn't fix." I told him "I should've napped…oh I don't know, 5 kids ago."
"Why don't you nap know? I can watch the kids." He offered
"No, no…they aren't quiet used to you I don't want to leave them." I told him
"They'll be fine. Charlie is great at entertaining; this is my chance to prove I am a good father."
"Okay…one hour. Then wake me…well Henry will so…I need a nap…I'll be up soon."
I hurried up to my room careful not to wake Henry and laid down. I was quickly relaxed and dozed off.
Brandon's POV
I walked In the house to my surprise it was quiet. I walked into the living room to find it clean and empty, same with the kitchen and bedrooms. I looked in the backyard to see Robert holding my newest son. All the kids playing happily, but no sign of my wife. I walked out to Robert. "Where's Callie?" I asked
"She's been asleep for about 2 hours, I fed Henry a bottle, and I know you don't really do that, but she was so exhausted I wanted her to get some sleep." He told me
"I'm going to go check on her." I told him smiling
I walked upstairs and opened the door to our bedroom. Callie still peacefully sleeping. I kissed her forehead and she stirred. "Hey." She smiled "What time is it?"
"6:30." I told her
"What?" she asked
"The kids are well taken care of; your dad's amazing with them."
"And Henry?"
"Bottle fed, only because you needed sleep."
"Brandon…I am so tired… I don't understand…Henry isn't up all night like the rest of the kids were…I don't get it…" she said "It's freezing in here."
"Babe…it's like 99 outside…" I told her worried that she was shivering
I felt her forehead, she was boiling. "I'm calling the doctor." I grabbed my phone quickly dialing. I turned back to see her unconscious, I hung up and called an ambulance.
The door swung open only to reveal the paramedics. They quickly moved into action while I raced to check on the kids. I ran to Robert. "Callie's sick, we are taking her to the hospital. I can call my moms, to come get the kids."
"Don't even worry, we are fine, keep me updated." He said worry etched in his features
"I will." I promised him "Kids be good for grandpa, daddy will be home tonight." I called rushing to the ambulance
"Callie baby…I'm right here." I told her as the paramedic worked on stabilizing her
"Any idea what caused this?"
"Sir…this is Callie Foster correct?" he asked me
"Yes, she just gave birth just a few weeks ago…"
"We need to wait for her doctor to tell you. I'm sorry."
Callie's POV
I woke up in a hospital room…it couldn't already be starting…not yet…my kids are so young.
"Callie? Baby, are you okay?"
"Yes Brandon, I'm fine." I lied, and then heard someone clear their throat
"Mrs. Foster…you need to be truthful with your husband."
"Callie?" Brandon asked
"I have cancer!"
