                                                                            .              .           .

Lena is bent over, sifting through the family's DVD cases while everyone calls out suggestions of what to watch.

"We should watch The Incredibles!" 

"Gah, we're not little kids, put on Fast and Furious--" 

"Ew! I'm pretty sure Clueless is in there somewhere--"

"Hey, I just saw Amadeus!"

"What about Juno?" Callie speaks up, digging into a bowl of popcorn she claimed for herself only. No exceptions.

Lena puckers her bottom lip out and nods, "That's a good movie. Good choice, Callie."

Everyone else grumbles, tucking themselves into corners of the couch or wrapping themselves up in blankets. Brandon glances over at Callie. He knows why she suggested Juno.

Lena slides the disc into the DVD player and sits next to Stef, snuggling into her wife and sighing in content once she's comfortable. Callie looks over to them longingly; she wants something like that. She had something like that, actually. And she let it slip away.

She shakes off the thought, not in the mood for feeling guilty, and stares at the screen as the movie starts to play. She eats handfuls of popcorn at a time, Jesus occasionally coming in and taking smaller portions. She's repulsed with herself. She's eating more at a time than Jesus now.

"Stop." She whispers to her stomach, resting her hand over it and shaking her head in disapproval. 

Brandon hears this and the slightest smile twitches on his lips. She's talking to the baby. Their baby. He has this odd urge to pull her close, but he suppresses it and clears his throat, folding his arms over his chest and paying minimal attention to the movie.

He has to tell her that he found out.

Soon.

                                                                        .                  .                 .

Callie's laying in bed after the movie ends, her pillow propped up behind her so she can sit up without her back hurting against the wall. She digs into her second dessert, a package of MnMs she found in one of the cabinets. Safari, on her phone, is being directed to a health website. A list of nutritional foods pops up, along with name brand prenatal vitamins.
