"All the hell I have gone through and I now see why I went through it." I whispered after a few minutes. "What do you mean?" he asked not looking up to me. I continued to watch as he rubbed my feet as I went on. "I went through hell after my mom and dad died. Bouncing from foster home to foster home. Taking care of Jude, even if it meant that I got hurt in the process, then the whole thing with Liam. I went through it all just so I could meet you and finally feel safe and secure." I said and he stopped rubbing for a second before continuing. "Callie I know it seems that I had the easiest life compared to yours but I went through my own little hell and I'm pissed at how your life went but I'm glad that it lead you to me." He said finally looking up to me. "Come here." I told him and he did. I pulled him to me and pressed my lips to his. It wasn't about just kissing. It was about showing him and making him feel how much I loved him and how happy I am to have him in my life.
Christmas day was finally here and I was once again lying on the couch as Brandon handed out the presents from under the tree. He piled mine, his and even some for the twins in front of me while everyone else opened theirs. I watched as Jude had his first real Christmas with a family that loves him. He got everything he could ever want. Mariana was happy with what she got along with Jesus.
Soon it was mine and Brandon's turn to open our gifts. Brandon sat on the floor in front of the couch and handed me my gifts from the family. Stef and Lena gave me a gift card to babies-r-us, Mariana and Jesus gave me a beautiful locket necklace and engraved inside was my name, Brandon's, and the initials of the twins. Jude, oh sweet Jude, he gave me something that had been our mothers, the ring that she always had on a necklace and she never went anywhere without it. "Jude how did you get this?" I asked admiring the ring. "Stef actually helped me find it. She found out that we weren't given everything that we were supposed to get. But that can wait until after we finish with Christmas." He said and I smiled. "Well thank you." I said and held my hands out for him to come hug me, which he did laughing the whole time.
Brandon was opened his next, Stef and Lena gave him two hundred dollars, which they put in his trust fund that was left from Mike. Mariana gave him a shirt that said 'you can't scare me I have twins', he put it on instantly because he loved it so much. Jesus and Jude gave him a gift certificate for a free oil change, tire rotation, and four brand new tires. I hadn't given him his present in front of the family, he and I agreed to exchange gifts later tonight when it was just me and him. "Alright you two tear into what we got for the babies already." Stef said excitedly. I laughed, "Brandon you open up Ben's I'll open up Alexis's." I told him and he nodded. The family had given the babies even more things, clothes, toys, and even two car seats.
That night we were having the family Christmas dinner with Lena's parents and brother. They also brought gifts for everyone including the babies, but instead of giving the twins things that they would out grow quickly all three of them set up a trust fund consisting of almost a thousand dollars each. "Callie, Brandon. We set the trust fund up for them to receive on their twenty first birthday." Grandma Adams said smiling. I nodded before thanking her.
I went to bed before Grandma and Grandpa Adams left. Brandon helped me to bed before rejoining the family in the main house. I was lying in bed all alone and suddenly there was pressure in my abdomen. It wasn't the normal pressure when I walked around carrying the twins, it was more intense and hurt like hell. I grabbed for my phone but realized I had left it in the main house, crap. I rolled out of bed and started to waddle to the main house for help. Half way there I felt like I peed myself, which was my water breaking. I rushed into the house and as soon as I was in the back door I screamed out in pain.
"Callie what's going on?" Brandon said as he rushed to my side. "I think I'm in labor. I'm pretty sure my water broke when I was coming in here." I rushed out trying to calm myself. "Mom! Lena!" he yelled and the whole family rushed in. "What is it Brandon?" Stef asked. "She thinks she's gone into labor." He said and she nodded. "Mariana go get the hospital bag. Lena go get the SUV started please." Stef said and they did as she said. "Jesus help me get her up." Stef said reaching for one of my hands. Jesus reached for my other one and they helped me walk out to the SUV. Lena was sitting in the driver's seat waiting for us. I got into the back seat and Brandon slid in next to me. "Jesus the keys for the mustang are on the counter in the guest house. You and Mariana can take it to the hospital." Brandon told him before closing the door. Jude climbed in the front seat and then Stef slid in and we were off to the hospital.
It seemed like hours before we reached the hospital. "You guys get her in Jude and I will go park the car." Lena said pulling up to the entrance. Stef ran inside and got a wheel chair before coming out and helping me get out of the car with some help from Brandon. Brandon pushed me into the hospital and to the elevator. Stef pressed the button and we sat waiting for the elevator to reach us. When it finally did I was gripping Brandon's hand as a life line as a contraction hit. Stef ushered us into the elevator and pressed the button for the labor and delivery floor. "Callie breath. Focus on your breathing." Stef said as we finally reached the damn floor.
Brandon stayed with me while Stef went to speak with the nurses at the nurse's station. "Brandon Foster you have no freaking idea how bad the contractions hurt and if you want any more kids in the future you're carrying them." I told him as I breathed through the rest of the contraction. "Alright Ms. Jacobs. Let's get you in the room. I have already called Dr. Fisher and she is on the way in now." Said a blonde nurse as she stood in front of me. I just nodded as she pushed me into a room. This is going to be a really screwed up Christmas.
