"You are a Dad now congratulations "

The next day Callie was at work when Gavin walked in

"We are still closed Gavin"she said setting the tables

"I'm not here to drink I came to see you"he walked closer to her 

"I don't have time to fight right now I need to get this place set for tonight"

"I come in peace Callie"he held up his hands

"So what do you want then"

He sat on the stool across from her "You know I did a lot of think last night.I thought about our time together we were great back then weren't we"

"That was along time ago Gavin and the last part of our marriage you hit me"

"And I'm sorry for that you didn't deserve that especially when that all you knew"

"I thought you loved me"

"Part of me still does love you and always will"

"Gavin I know you didn't come today to walk down memory lane"

"No,after your husband talked to me I realized he is a good guy"

"He really is Gavin"

"I saw that how protective he was but in my heart knowing some else wants to raise my son it hurts"

"Gavin in my heart you  will always be Landon's father he looks like you and I love you for giving him to me I love you for that i truly do"

He smiled "Which why I came to give you these"he slid an envelope to her

"Whats this"she took them

"I signed them Callie Brandon can his Dad just knowing you still see me as Landon's father is enough for me"

"You signed them"Callie was still in shock

"Yes, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do"

"Thank you"she was crying she went around the bar and hugged him

"Callie the is something I would like to ask you though"

"Alright what is it"she looked at him

"I would like to see him just one more time:"

She smiled at him "Come by tonight"she told him

"Thank You"he hugged her 

Callie raced in the house all excited "BRANDON"she called for him 

Brandon came out of the bed room running "Callie are you ok"

She smiled at him "I'm wonderful,I got something fore you"she handed him the envelope  

"Its not my birthday or Christmas"he opened it

"i know ,open it"she said with a laugh

When he saw what it was he was shocked "Callie is this what I think it is"he asked 

She was crying at this point"Yes Brandon he did it ,he signed the papers"she told him

He picked her up and spun her around"This is amazing"he set her down "This is better then my birthday and Christmas combined"he laughed

She hugged him"Don't get mad but I told Gavin he could come see Landon one last time"

"If you are ok with this then I'm ok with it"he kissed her

Later that night Brandon tucked Fiona into bed while Callie was talking with Landon

"So Buddy there is someone coming to see you tonight"Callie told Landon

"Who"he asked 

"A friend from Mommy's past'she said 

"Why just me and not Fifi"

"Fiona wasn't born when Mommy knew him"

There was a knock on the door

"I got it"Brandon said as he walked over to the door

"Hey Gavin"he shook his hand

"Hello Brandon,I'm sure Callie told you by now"he said

"I'm seven now"he told Gavin

"Wow you practically a grown up"he joked with him

"How do you and Mommy know each other"he asked 

Gavin looked at Callie,she gave him the approval to tell him

"Your Mommy and I go way back I was her first boyfriend"he smiled 

"So you are my real Dad"he just said

Gavin looked at Brandon then back at Landon "Landon this is hard for me to say but yes I am your real father, I gave your mother you but I'm not your Dad"

"Gavin what are you doing"Callie got worried 

Gavin looked over at Brandon again"That guy over there he is your Dad,he loves you the i can't so he is your Dad I give him permission to raise you into an amazing man"

Callie let the tears fall watching Gavin interact with Landon.Brandon came over to her and held her
