The New Fosters: A Brallie Story

Chapter 43

Callie's POV:

Moms start bombarding me with questions. Brandon shoos everyone out of the room and walks out with them. I want him to come back. I want to sit here with him and no one else, but I know that it's not possible right now and I will just have to get over it.

"Callie what happened?" Mom (Lena) asks. I already told Brandon, isn't that enough? I guess not.

"Well, I was in the bathroom and I heard my bedroom door open. I opened the door and Liam was standing in my room. I called for Tyler and when he heard me he came in and got in between me and Liam because he could see that I was scared. He told Liam to leave, but instead Liam hit him and pushed him to the floor. Then he started kicking me. When Ty got in between us I just sank to the floor, so I was at the perfect height for him to kick me. He kicked me repeatedly, at my ribs and shomach. I was so worked up that I couldn't defend myself. I just sat there letting him kick me." I feel a tear roll down my cheek as I tell them that I just sat there.

"Oh Callie," mom (Lena) sighs. "I'm so sorry. I'm so glad you're okay," she says as she leans in to hug me.

"I'm really tired. Could I go to sleep for a little bit?" I ask with a yawn when she pulls away.

"Of course." She says and then they both leave and go into the waiting room. I close my eyes and almost immediately fall asleep.

When I wake up I'm not sure what time it is or where I am, but Brandon is asleep in the chair next to me. There is a sharp pain in my abdomen and it keeps getting worse. I lift up the blanket and see blood. What is happening? I can't think straight. The call button for the nurse is too far away. "Brandon!" I whisper in pain.

His eyes flash open. "What wrong? Are you okay?" He asks worry taking over his normally soft features.

I breath heavily, "Brandon, it hurts."

"What? What hurts?" He asks as he gets out of the chair and comes to my side. I point to my abdomen and almost screech at a shooting pain. "It's okay, baby, I'm right here. I won't leave you. I promise." He leans over me and presses the nurses button over and over again.

Brandon holds my hand and keeps repeating that everything will be okay. Then the nurse comes in. "Is everything okay?"

"No. She's in excruciating pain and there is a lot of blood." Brandon tells though gritted teeth and then turns back to me and his jaw relaxes a little.

"What happened?"

"I don't know she just woke up." He tells her. I can tell that he is aggravated.

"I'll go get a doctor," she says and then runs out of the room.

"Great idea," Brandon mumbles under his breath.

"Calm down... I'm... Okay Brandon," as soon as I say it another shooting pain curses through me and I screech in pain. I see the terror in Brandon's eyes and I hate that I'm causing it. I'm getting light headed and dizzy.

"You're going to be okay Callie. Just stay with me. Please don't leave me again," Brandon pleads.

"Never," I tell him. Then the doctor comes rushing through the door with the nurse close behind him. He sees all the blood and looks almost confused as he glances down at my chart.

"Callie? It's not in your chart, but do you know if you are pregnant?" He asks. Then the realization of everything comes to me all at once.

I haven't been eating or drinking like I should, for almost a month and then Liam kicks me in the stomach. It all adds up now. I now understand what is happening to me.

I nod my head and he nods his back. He turns to the nurse and starts telling her what to do in medical language that I can't even begin to think about trying to understand at the moment. All I know is that soon I'm hooked up to more machines and they are putting something really cold on my stomach. They to me to try and stay awake, so I look at Brandon. He's staring at me so intently and I gaze into his crystal blue eyes like my life depends on it. His eyes are the only thing holding me together. I see right into his soul, as cheesy as that may sound, and I see that he is feeling just as scared as I am. I can't loose him and he can't loose me, though I still don't understand why. I want to spend the rest of my life with this boy.

After what seems like forever and my never loosing eye contact with Brandon, the pain starts to subside. For the first time I turn my head away from Brandon and close my eyes. I take deep breaths.

"If the pain is starting to go away, then you should get some rest. I'm sorry Callie, you miscarried your baby." The doctor says when he comes back in. I slowly nod my head. Maybe all of this will hit me when I wake up, but until then, I don't feel anything. I don't feel sad or relieved, nothing. "Son, can I talk to you?" He asks Brandon. Brandon gets up from his chair and kisses my head then leaves the room with the doctor. I'm so tired that I fall right into a dreamless sleep.
