The New Fosters: A Brallie Story

Chapter 22

Callie's POV:

"Callie could I talk to you for a minute?" Stef asks. I feel all of the blood drain from my face and I start to feel nauseous.

"Um... Yeah," I look at Brandon for help, but he seems to be completely oblivious or maybe he's just a better actor than I am. I follow Stef out into the hall. I glance at Jude who is still contently watching tv. "Uh... What did you need to talk about?" I ask nervously.

"Well, I just got a call from Lena saying that Bill called her and he might have someone that wants to adopt you," she says. Well that's not at all what I thought was coming. I thought she saw Brandon and me.

"Oh. Wait only me? What about Jude?" I ask confused. I won't leave Jude.

"Yes Callie, only you. The good thing is that I guess they don't live too far from us, so you could still see Jude everyday," she says. Why does she want me to go so bad? Does she want me out of their house? Does she know about me and Brandon? No. She can't... right?

"Do I have to go?" I ask.

"Well... No, but I think you should really think about it because its a great opportunity to be close to Jude and not have to worry about being in a foster home ever again," she tries to explain.

"I need to talk to Jude about what he wants. Can I tell you my decision tomorrow? I'm really tired and don't want to decide right now," I tell her.

"Of course. And Bill will home in the morning to explain everything to you before you make a decision," she says.

"Okay. Thanks Stef," I smile.

"No problem sweetie," she says returning the smile. I nod my head and then we walk over to Jude.

"Whatcha watching?" I ask him.

"A show on Disney. I think it's called Jessie," he says.

"What's it about?" I ask him.

"A 18 year old girl who nannies for these really rich parents. They have two adopted kids and two biological kids and then this really lazy butler. The parents are never home so the nanny, Jessie, and the kids have all of these crazy adventures," he says enthusiastically.

"Cool. Well we are gonna be going home in a little bit okay?" He nods.

We watch Jessie for another hour and then a nurse comes. "Ms. Foster?"

Stef stands up. "Yes?"

"If you could just sign these you all can go home," the nurse says smiling at all of us. Stef signs the papers and hands them back to the smiling nurse. "And here are the instructions for both Callie Jacobs and Brandon Foster," she hand Stef a bunch of papers.

"Thank you," Stef says. The nurse nods and walks away. Soon the nurse is back with a wheelchair and Brandon is sitting in it. Hospital policy I guess. She wheels him to the car with Jude and me trailing behind. We all get in and head home. How am I going to ask Jude if it is okay for me to leave him?
