"I cannot believe we're prepping for the semi finals together." Claire said two days after week twelve's second episode was done. She, Asher, Bryton, Jax, Callie, and Jacob were all warming up and stretching together ahead of a long rehearsal week.

"I'm so thankful that we've all been able to do this together." Bryton said as everyone agreed.

"Yeah, me too. Especially because I really didn't think I was gonna keep going being pro after week four." Callie opened up as Claire and Bryton's eyes widened, but they all listened to her.

"Really?" Asher cautiously asked as he did not want to rock the boat if Callie was still feeling emotional.

"Yeah, it was just a rocky start to the show. With Everleigh getting sick, having some separation anxiety, mom guilt, weaning her, everything. But I'm so glad I stuck it out because this has been one of my biggest dreams to come true and to do it with all of you guys, I couldn't be more thankful or blessed and so proud of everything we've done this season." Callie smiled, fighting back some tears as Jacob moved closer to her, rubbing her back and kissing her cheek.

"I'm so proud of us." Jax said as they all agreed.

"Me too, now we just need to get ready for the semi finals." Jacob said as they all began with rehearsals.

Monday rolled around as it was week thirteen, second to last episode of the competition. It was the semi finals tonight and it would be the last elimination ahead of the finale. Tonight would determine who would be the top two, final two heading to the finale. Of course, the Goods and Lopez families wanted it to come down to Jacob and Bryton in the finale. They would just have to wait and see.

For the semi finals, they were going to be loaded with routines. Especially Callie as she was going to be in four of the dances tonight. First, the pros had an opening number. It was a cha cha to Taylor Swift's song Lavender Haze. Then, she and Asher had a pros only contemporary duet. That was to the song Stayaway by MUNA.

Callie had two other duets. She had one with Jacob and one with Bryton. Callie and Bryton's duet was a lyrical routine to the song J's Lullaby by Delaney Bailey. Callie and Jacob's duet was contemporary to Take Me To Church by Hozier. They were both going to be great as both competitors were hoping to make it one more week to the finale, hoping to win it all at last.

"Go Ev! Go Ev!" Callie and Jacob laughed as Everleigh was twirling to some Disney music that they were playing in their trailer while spending time with their baby girl.

"Yay!" She squealed, clapping her hands and putting her arms up for Jacob to hold her momentarily.

"Mini dancer in the making, baby." Callie giggled as she kissed her baby's cheek and enjoyed the time with her fiancé and daughter.

"Feeling okay, beautiful?" Jacob asked as he wanted to check on his lover after a rollercoaster of emotions over the last month or so.

"Yes, I feel great! I can't wait for tonight and to dance. It's gonna be a great night and I hope you and Bry make it to the finale next week." Callie smiled, looking up at her lover.

"Me too, baby. I can't wait to watch you tonight too." He winked as the three spent time together before fully getting ready for the show.

Later that night, the show was beginning. Callie, Claire, Mark, Whitney, Asher, and Jax opened the show with their pros only number to Lavender Haze by Taylor Swift. They did great for the opening dance of the night. After the dance, it was time for Callie and Jacob's duet.

Callie and Jacob's contemporary routine to Take Me To Church by Hozier was stellar. It was beautiful, powerful, invigorating. They pulled a new lift out of their pocket. Callie did a front handspring, landing on Jacob's shoulders as he carefully turned her over into a backflip. The audience was in awe of the two and how they continuously got better and better each and every week. It really was up to them and the fans to who would be in the finale next week.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our two pros, Callie Good and Asher Williams with a contemporary routine to Stayaway by MUNA!" The hostess grinned as Callie and Asher were on stage now for their contemporary piece.

Callie and Asher's pros only duet was beautiful to watch. Before Callie and Jacob got together and met five years ago, Callie and Asher were duet partners. They were and are great partners as well. The two loved dancing together as they had the brother-sister dynamic of the friendship. Everyone was on their feet as well to watch the two of them deliver a stellar routine.

"Love you, buddy." Callie said as she and Asher hugged once the performance was done.

"Love you, Cal. Kill it with your last dance with Bry." Asher said as they exited the stage and Callie quickly changed into her last costume of the night.

"We got this! I love you so much, Callie. I can't wait to do this with you and hopefully do the finale next week too." Bryton said as the two girls hugged backstage, waiting to be called on stage.

"I love you, Bry! Yes, let's kill it and get you and Jacob to the finale next week!" Callie beamed as they went out on stage, ready to perform their routine.

Callie and Bryton's duet was nothing short of a beautiful, classic lyrical duet. The two girls were made to dance together. It was beautiful, soft, impeccable. They had nothing to be ashamed of and everything to be proud of. Callie just hoped both her fiancé and her soul sister would make it to the finale next week.

Shortly after Callie and Bryton's duet, it was time for the elimination. This elimination would make or break the final three competitors in a chance to go to the finale next week and win it all. However, the elimination went in favor. Jacob and Bryton were safe, making them the final two of the competition. Callie was grinning ear to ear, a bit emotional yet proud of her fiancé and soul sister as they would get to dance one final time in the finale.

"Ahhh! I'm so proud of you two! So proud!" Callie squealed as she went to go hug Jacob and Bryton. They thanked her, pulling away and grinning as they were proud of themselves as well.

"So, may the best dancer win?" Bryton laughed as Jacob did as well.

"Game on." Jacob replied as the two jokingly shook hands and prepared for the final week of the competition.
