Sorry for the delay but I was just so stuck on this chapter...I must admit it is a total filler which was part of the problem but seeing pics of Bailey Maddison back on the Fosters set gave me a little inspiration. This start to pick up after this but I hope you enjoy.

Callie had spent most of the morning cleaning. Their place was pretty much already spotless but Callie had a bunch of nervous energy.

"Ok babe it's time to put away the sponges," Brandon said taking away all cleaning products from his wife.

"I just want everything to be perfect."

"She is your sister not Martha Stewart. She isn't going to care if the toilet paper is folded into little triangles or if you have saucers for your tea cups. She just wants to hang out with her sister."

"But she has been away at school….this is her first time seeing the place."

"And she is going to think it is the coolest thing ever that her sister has her own place. You pretty much walk on water to her….just relax."

"Right I can do that," Callie said taking a few deep breaths. "I just feel so nervous for some reason. I know she doesn't care about things being perfect…I guess it has just been too long since I last saw her I mean we can legally drink together…I am kind of sad I missed her 21st birthday."

"Well, how about we go out for drinks later."

"Yeah, I think I would like that."

Callie jumped in the shower and got herself ready for her sister's arrival. It really had been way to long since they had seen each other in person. Thinking back on it, it was probably just after the wedding. Shortly after Sophia went off to college and during one summer break she did a summer session overseas. They girls facetimed and would text but there is something different about being in person.

There was no doubt when Sophia arrived as the excited yells could be heard around the block. Brandon came out from his music room to say hi and spend some time with both girls but he quietly went back to his music to allow the girls time to catch up.

"I'm so jealous you got to spend a summer tooling around Europe."

"Well, I did do some learning in between seeing all the famous landmarks and entertaining some fine European men."

"Ohh do tell," Callie said with a smile.

"You know you have your own very fine guy in the next room right?"

"Yes, but he is not a tall, dark and foreign man with an accent. Come on girl I am an old married woman let me live vicariously through you."

"Well, in Spain there was Rafa who actually showed back up in France…he was muy caliente," Sophia said with a dreamy smile.

"But if I could bring one guy back in my suitcase it would have been Giovanni. We met in Italy and if you want to see tall dark and handsome just look at these," Soph said handing her phone to Callie.

"Oh my god is he actually real?"

"Very, very real."

"Officially jealous."

"Yeah, he was so sweet too…we are facebook friends now so who knows maybe I will venture back to Italy."

"Umm why are you not there right now? Better yet why is he not here so I can drool all over him."

"Oh yeah I'm sure he wouldn't mind you just slobbering all over him," Sophia laughed taking back her phone. "Besides you didn't do so bad with the arm candy…and talented too. I heard his song made the final 5 for the music fest."

"Yeah, between Lou knowing everyone under the sun and Mariana's twitter campaign I think they have a legit shot at winning."

"That is so cool….I know someone in the music business."

"They haven't won yet and even if they do Brandon just sings the one song and wrote a couple other."

"That's the best job…you don't have to travel all the time with the band and you get to work with so many different artists. I mean imagine Brandon writing a song for Adele or Beyonce or….OMG or JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE," Sophia was practically screaming and bouncing on the couch.

"Ok speed racer let's just start with maybe playing the music fest shall we? When we get a call from JT you will be the first person I call."

"A girl can dream."

"Stick to your Giovanni dreams," Callie winked. "You ready to head out and get something to eat and get some drinks? I still can't believe your old enough to drink."

"Well, I have this real ID to prove it," Sophia laughed waving her purse around. "Let's go though I am starving."

Callie went to get Brandon and the three headed out to a bar and restaurant downtown. They saw at a high top in the bar area still wanting a table but being close to the bar.

"I will have whatever summer ale is on tap please," Brandon put in his drink order with the waitress.

"I will have a long island," Callie requested.

"Man going big early huh," Sophia joked.

"I don't drink beer," Callie admitted.

"What? Are you crazy…I will have a Corona please."

"Can I see your ID," the waitress asked?

"Why yes you can," Sophia said with a big smile showing off her ID.

"Thanks I will put them in right now and let you look over the menu."

"How about we start with some nachos?"

"Oh Soph they are to die for here," Callie said practically drooling.

"Well, how can I say no to that?"

A short time later the waitress came over with their drinks and took their orders promising to get their orders out quickly.

"Well, here is to you Sophia and to family it's our first drink together and may we have many more," Brandon said with a smile raising his glass.

"I'll drink to that," Sophia said taking a big gulp of beer.

Callie smiled and took a sip of her drink.

"Ugh god," Callie winced.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not sure they actually know how to make a long island here…I am going to take this to the bar and get a different drink."

"I'll take it for you babe," Brandon offered.

"Thanks but I want to talk to the bartender and see what he recommends…That way I will know my next drink will be good."

Callie hopped off the stool and took her drink back to the bar. Brandon saw Callie flag down the bartended and it looked very friendly so he turned his attention back to Sophia.

"So I hear you have a foreign gentleman caller."

Sophia's cheeks turned bright red.

"You heard us?"

"I caught bits and pieces."

"Are you mad?"

"At what," Brandon asked surprised?

"Callie talking about Giovanni."

"No, not even in the slightest. I don't think Callie should think every guy is ugly just because we are married. I know that Callie can think a guy is hot but not want anything to do with him. It's almost like her looking at a magazine it's not real…and even if he were here I still wouldn't be worried because our relationship isn't just superficial…we have been through a lot and I trust Callie.

"You know you really make it hard for a girl to date when they compare everyone to you," Sophia laughed taking a sip of her beer.

"Yeah talk to me about that when he leaves the toilet seat up and misses the laundry basket," Callie joked joining them again.

"I just like to keep you on our toes," Brandon smiled kissing her cheek. "What did you get," he asked looking at a very fruity looking drink.

"It's some Mexican specialty it has cranberry, orange and pineapple juice and vodka…I think it is usually made with gin but I preferred vodka."

"Sounds like a headache waiting to happen."

"Oh hush and enjoy your cat pee beverage."

"Hey this taste delicious," Brandon said with a smile taking a long drink.

Callie just rolled her eyes and started chatting up her sister again. She really had to make sure they didn't get that long without seeing each other…even if that meant Callie flying to see Sophia at school. Their lives were very busy but never too busy for family.
