writing is my escape from the real world for a time. that is why i normally don't care if i get reviews or not. I am writing for myself. if others enjoy it great, if not that is ok too. but I have read a few other stories on here about Callie and Brandon and am amazed at the number of reviews that they have with as bad a grammar as they have and spelling. now I suck at spelling but I use a writing program the corrects my mistakes. so it made me mad that people weren't at least saying something even if it was a bad review. but I go past it and have a great core group of readers for this story and I will continue to update as much for you people as I do for myself. so thanks again for your reviews.

Brandon was pacing the floor like crazy and he continued apologizing for not remembering a condom. Callie couldn't help but chuckle at him, he was so cute when he was frustrated and worried. She got out of bed and walk to where a still naked Brandon was pacing. she stepped in front of him so as to make him stop.

"Brandon, will you calm down for a minute." Callie says.

"No do you know what this means? We did it three time and all three were unprotected. You know what that could lead too. Oh my God the moms are going to kill me." He says but is interrupted by Callie grabbing his penis and giving it a good jerk, and not in a good way. "Ouch! What the hell Callie?"

"Well it got your attention didn't it? You ready to listen to me now?" She asks, and when he nods, she continues. "Yes we should have probably used a condom. But we are still covered as I am on the pill and have been since I was 14. the doctor put me on it to help regulate my period. I haven't missed a pill since I first dot them, so will you relax."

"You're on the pill and this is the first I am hearing about it?" Brandon asks.

"Well it never came up before and it is not something I mention in passing." Callie says.

"But you could have told me." Brandon says, looking like he is going to get upset about it.

"Oh no you don't Brandon, you are not going to ruin this night. You could have asked as well." Callie says.

"Yeah ok you are right again." Brandon says.

"Good now get back into bed and hold me would you." She says more as a statement rather than a question.

"Just as soon as you let go of a certain something." He says pointing down.

"Oh you big baby, there now can we go back to bed and cuddle?" She asks as she releases his penis.

"We can." He smiles at her.

Stef got up early to head to the kitchen and start breakfast. She liked to cook for the family on her days off. It was one of the things she looked forward to during the week, was the weekend and being able to cook. She was planning on making blueberry pancakes with fresh squeezed OJ and some bacon and eggs for sides.

She pulled out all the ingredients and start her work. It was easy work so her mind could wander a little. Of course it strayed to the young couple that was sleeping up stairs at this very moment. She had no idea how they had gotten to where they were at the present time. Their teenage son was in bed with a teenage girl that they had started as fostering. But had soon managed to steal all of their hearts, but none more than Brandon's.

She wasn't the only one though, Jude had done the same thing. He was as much a member of this family as Brandon is. How they had survived what had been done to them in the past was beyond her. It had to be because of Callie. She had no idea just how strong a person she was. Nor did she realize just how special she was. She was starting to though. You could see it in her face and her eyes, she was starting to believe she was not a waste or trash. Stef really want it to be because of her and Lena, but knew Brandon had more to do with it than they had. Their roles have been important there was not doubting that. But it was Brandon that had pulled her out of the funk she had been in.

It was amazing to be able to watch the strong willed and confident woman emerge from that scared little girl that had first shown up here full of attitude. She wasn't for sure if she could wait to see what a few years of being around them and them her what everyone would look like. Some how it seemed as if the stronger and more confident Callie became, the more Brandon did as well. This had an effect on the other as well but Jude especially. They more he saw Callie happy and realized he wasn't going to get kicked out, the more he grew.

How had one person integrated them self so far into this family that it felt like the family would crumble if she was ever taken away from them. Stef had no answer, what is worse is that Lena felt the same way and couldn't explain it either.

They had talked long in to the early morning hours after they had gotten back home and got the kids in bed. They knew that Brandon and Callie wouldn't be seen until sometime this morning. They had also talked about what they knew that had happened last night and had come to a decision last night that they needed to share with the teens when they did get up. It wasn't long and she had breakfast ready.

The sun was up and shining through the window and hitting both Brandon and Callie in the face as they slept. It didn't take long for Callie to start to stir. The more she moved the more it awakened Brandon. Soon both had their eyes open and looking at each other. It was Brandon who broke the comfortable silence first.

"Morning beautiful."

"Morning handsome."

"Did you sleep well?" Brandon asks.

"Best night sleep I have had in years, thanks. How did you sleep?" She asks him.

"Like a baby, thanks." He says.

"Good I am glad but I need you to let me go so I can get dressed and go to the bathroom before my bladder explodes." She says trying to get out of the bed.

"Wait one second I will let you go if you kiss me." He says, but no sooner than the words were out of his mouth she kissed him.

"Now let me go or you are going to have a wet bed." She says as he releases her with a laugh.

She scrambles around till she finds her shirt and pants and quickly puts them on as she rushes out the door to come face to face with Lena. She smiles sheepishly at her and ducks her head.

"You need the bathroom?" Lena asks.

"Yeah, badly." Callie says.

"Well might want to go use ours cause Mariana just went in there and she could take a while." Lena says as she continues toward the steps.

"Lena, thanks." Callie says.

"No problem but lets don't make a habit of it." Lena says as she winks at Callie. "By the way we need to talk to you and Brandon before Breakfast. So if u could ask him to come down to the kitchen when you get done that would be great."

"Sure." Callie says as she rush through the moms door and strait into the bathroom.

It was ten minutes later that Callie and Brandon sat across from Lena and Stef waiting for the hammer to drop. They knew they had broken a rule last night, but also a promise. So they were fully ready to accept any punishment that the moms handed down.

"I assume you wanted to talk to us because we broke our promise to you." Brandon says as Callie nods.

"No, we figured that promise wasn't going to hold water when we left for the evening." Stef says.

"Ok, then what did you need to talk to us about?" Callie asks.

"First we need to know if you two are back together or if last night was a goodbye for now?" Stef asks.

"No we are back together and don't plan on ever breaking up again." Brandon says, and again Callie nods.

"Very well then. We have a new rule for you two." Stef says.

"Ok what ever it is we will try our hardest to follow it, and realize if we step out of line again we will be in big trouble." Callie says.

"Oh I think you will like this one. From now on you two may pick one weekend night and you can spend the night in Brandon's room." Lena says.

"Really?" Brandon asks as Callie looks on stunned.

"Really, but you must agree to talk to use if you have any questions or concerns. And you have to keep it to just one night. Plus please please use protection." Stef says.

"We do. And I am on the pill, have been since I was 14. so we have a double layer of protection. I know that neither is 100% at stopping me from getting pregnant, that the only way is to not have sex. But I just can't see that happening. But we will do our best to make sure we do everything we can so that doesn't happen." Callie says.

"Yeah what she said, well minus the whole I am on the pill thing." Brandon says causing them to all smile.

"Ok so do you have a night in mind?" Lena asks.

"Well does that act as our date night? Or do we still get to go out on a date on the other night?" Brandon asks.

"No the weekend is your to do as you please. If you want to go out on a date both nights that is fine with us, but you can only be together in the same room on one of those nights." Lena tells them.

"Ok then I say Saturday." Callie says.

"Works for me." Brandon tells them.

"Then it is settled. Now go get the others as breakfast is ready." Stef says smiling at them.

In an old abandoned house a few miles away sat a guy with vengeance on his mind. He knew who was to blame for all his troubles, and one day soon they would pay for it. All he had to do was wait and stay out of site. He knew it wasn't going to be easy but he had help.

"Hey Liam." Sarah said as she walked in with a couple of bags of food.

"Hey, what did you bring me?" Liam asks.

"Just things that wouldn't spoil. Canned meat and bread. Some cans of beenie weenies, some ravioli. Not a lot didn't want someone to think I was taking them." Sarah says.

"No this is great, thanks." Liam says.
