A/N: I know I said that I would post a new chapter last week but I got sick and then this past weekend my wonderful boyfriend asked me to marry him so I completely forgot... Anyway here is this chapter's shout out... Drum roll.. and the shout it IS... TheFostersFan40! Now the moment you guys love so much... ON WITH THE STORY!
When we got home Brandon and I headed straight to our little house in the back. "I want to be alone." he said as he walked to his room. I sighed and headed to my room and got ready for bed. "God give me the strength to be there for him." I prayed as I laid down. I feel asleep fast but that didn't stop my thoughts from becoming my dreams.
I woke up the next day and found a note beside my bed. Mom and I have gone to the lawyers I'll see you when we get back. ~Brandon. I sighed and got up. I pulled on my lazy day clothes and made my way to the main house. Jesus and Jude were awake and in the kitchen. "Where's Lena?" I asked seeing that she and Mariana weren't in there. "Lena went to work. And before you ask Mariana is still asleep." Jesus said. I nodded before going to fix my self a glass of milk. "How are you guys holding up?" I asked and Jude shrugged. "I guess you could say that Mike was like the father figure for me so I feel a little lost right now." Jesus said and I nodded.
After an hour in the main house I headed back to the guest house and started cleaning it up some. It wasn't much but I gathered Brandon's clothes and mine and headed to wash them in the main house. When I walked in I saw Brandon sitting there with papers on the table in front of him. "When did you get back?" I asked and Brandon looked up. "Just a few minutes ago. Mom went to get the rest of the family down here. But look at this." Brandon said picking up a paper. I walked over and saw that Mike had left everyone in the family something including me and Jude. Then I saw that he had a house and a great amount of money for Brandon. "He left you a house." I stated and Brandon nodded. "He left you his mustang and this letter." Brandon said handing me the keys and an envolope. "Okay. I'm going to go wash our clothes and then I will be right in here." I said walking away.
Once I had started the load of clothes I opened the envolope and read the letter.
Callie,
I know it seems weird for me to leave you my car but you are the only one who every will loved the car like I did. I didn't know you for long but I do know that you were made for Brandon. Take car of him and the car. If in the future you and Brandon have kids tell them about me not the bad things I have done but all of the good things. You are one tough girl and maybe one day you should think about becoming a police officer like Stef. Anyway, take car of everyone and tell Brandon how much he meant to me.
With love, Mike Foster
I felt a tear roll down my face as I looked at the keys. "Thanks Mike for everything." I whispered closing my eyes.
Once I regained my composure I went to sit with the family. "Okay Mike left everyone something and I see that Callie already has hers. So to Mariana he leaves five hundred dollars in a bank account that she will receive once she graduates high school. To Jude he leaves his model cars. Jesus he left you five hundred dollars as well. To Lena and I he gave us his apartment in the city to use when we need to get away. Everything else goes to Brandon." Stef said and Jesus looked at me. "What did he leave you?" he asked. I held up the keys and he nodded. "Mom can Callie and I go look at one of the things he left me?" Brandon asks and Stef nods. "Just remember that Callie's appointment is at four." Lena reminded. Brandon and I nod before getting up and heading out to the mustang. "Do you know where the house is?" I asked as we walked. "Yeah I'll drive." he said and I handed him the keys.
We headed out of the city and after about fifteen minutes I saw a large white house come into view. "Is that the house?" I ask and Brandon nods. "It was my grandma's. I thought that he had sold it after she passed." He said as he turned onto the long winding path that lead to it. When we reached the house I was amazed. "It seems that he kept it up very well." I said and Brandon sighed. "It's just like it was when my grandmother was alive." he said parking the car in the back. I got out and followed Brandon to the door. He unlocked it and I saw a tear. I walked around the house and was amazed. There were seven bed rooms and four and a half bathrooms. "You know since we have a baby on the way we could move here." Brandon said from behind me. "For now I think we should stay with Stef and Lena. At least until we are both out of school." I said before turning to look at him. "That sounds like the smart Callie." Brandon said with a half smile that faded quickly.
"Callie can I ask you something?" he said looking sadly at me. "You always can." I said going over to him. I could tell that it has something to do with his dad. "You lost your mom. How did you really deal with it. Don't give me that one day at a time thing either. You had to have done something about it." he said and I sighed. "I was focused on protecting Jude that I never had time for any grief. Once we got to your house I had time to think about it and I did. I knew that she was in a better place. Mike is in that same better place. You have got to know that." I said and Brandon nodded. "I know I just can't help but think that he was taken from me because I got you pregnant." Brandon said and I nodded. "Brandon everything happens for a reason. Mike wasn't taken because I got pregnant. It was his time and you couldn't have changed that. He might be the guardian Angel for our baby who knows. The only thing I do know is that he would be proud to be a granddad and I know he was always very proud of you." I said feeling a tear fall. "I know you're right I just can't bring myself to believe it completely." he said and I nodded. I knew it would take time and I am more than willing to give him all the time he needs.
