*Trigger warning*
When Callie was little her mom would always tuck her in at night kiss her head and tell her everything would be okay. That the world can't do its job if she was awake. So she always went straight to bed no questions asked. Of course, deep down she knew. She was smart enough to know that it wasn't true. But it made her mom happy and all she ever wanted to do as a kid was make her. mom happy.
After her family died. She thought that things wouldn't work. That the world wouldn't be the same. But as she woke up and watched from her window. She saw the world aimlessly working and running after their children, she saw dogs barking and people laughing and talking and she thought for a moment that maybe could have another family. That she could bring life into this world and it would be alright. She fantasized about all the things she would teach him or her new things and tuck them in and tell them bedtime stories. The possibilities were endless.
For a really long time, she tried to achieve all of those goals. But she took a wrong turn on the interstate. She fell in love with the worse person she could think of. And she hated herself for it. Meeting Miles Hoyt was something she couldnt undo, not with there being a piece of him roaming the earth. A part of both of them that she tried so hard not to beat herself up about giving away. Brin and Mitch never hated her. Sure she got knocked up at sixteen. But they were her parents and they were supposed to help her navigate life and all the endless potholes that came along with the ride.
The thing about life is that it teaches you a few things, and introduces you to new people. She wanted to keep her baby, but there was that fickle little friend of college and life and how everything was now surrounded by the fact that she needed to keep another leaving and breathing thing alive beside herself and she thought hard really really hard. Miles didn't care, he had too much angry to deal with the wayward curious mind of baby let alone himself.
But life introduced her to May Wellington. She was funny and kind, May's sister and son died in a home invasion. So May was left alone in New York by herself until she accidentally bumped into a very pregnant young woman on the subway. This girl had looked a mess, mascara filled tears were running down her cheeks. She was now sobbing having spilled the entirety of the food she was craving all over the sidewalk of Main and 5th, May helped the young woman, who she found out was named Callie, pick up what was left of her discarded cravings and offered to take her out to get more. Callie apologized, for being hormonal and crazed.
And May was just so sweet and loving, they talked for four hours before Callie knew who she wanted to raise the baby in her womb. After getting to know May more, she asked her if she wanted to adopt her baby and the woman ultimately agreed. So Callie had her baby and gave her to May. May promised Callie that when she was ready she could easily have the sweet baby girl back whenever she wanted. And picked up her life in New York and headed to where it was always sunny. A few years after everything Callie picked up her life and left, changing her name. Not even bothering for one second to turn back. She wanted to create life, but instead shit hit the fan really quickly. After a year of being in California, She found May and they agreed to let her meet her child Beth. she kept her close always visiting and taking her out when she could. She never told anyone not even Cabe, he only found out after a long case and he just vowed to protect both of them until the ends of the earth. She lost contact with Miles after they fought that one night and he shoved her. She couldnt talk to him, but she didn't want to talk to him. She hated him for what he did and for how he made her feel about her decisions regarding Beth and the plans they had made were all out the window after that fight. her Baby. She walked into the Garage and pulled her coat off and hung it up, she watched as Toby was paying Happy money and Sylvester was playing with a child's toy.
