Brandon POV 

I slipped into bed next to Callie, she was still awake. Jude moved into Jesus's room after we realized we would be staying here a little longer than we thought. 

Brandon- so.. I made apointments to meet with a couple lawyers tomorrow

Callie- good

Brandon- this seems weird dosen't it?

Callie- what?

Brandon- staying in this room together, my old room

Callie- yeah I know, its strange being back in this house again

Brandon- yeah well I'll be happy to be back in our regualar sized bed again, sleeping in this twin bed is getting old

she smiled

Callie- yeah I guess it is a little.. oh

Brandon- what? what is it?

Callie- the baby..

Brandon- what's wrong?

Callie- nothing.. the baby just kicked

Brandon- no way

Callie- yeah, feel right here

she took my hand and positioned it on her belly, after a minute I felt it

Brandon- that's amazing

Callie- I know, it's kind of a shame.. all this stuff with my dad, we haven't been able to really enjoy this pregnancy 

Callie POV

Brandon and me sat in the office of the lawyer we had hired to handle the custody case. dad would be out of the rehab program in less than a month, then we would go to court. after sitting there a few minutes the lawyer came in. 

Lawyer- so when you father gets out of rehab in a few weeks he will be a fit guardian again and want custody of Jude back until we go to trial

Callie- he can't do that though, Jude needs to stay with us

Lawyer- the best we can get right now is shared custody

Callie- I can't tell him that he has to go back there

Brandon- Travis just got out of rehab.. Jude shouldn't go back with him right away

Lawyer- look.. we need to do this to show were cooperating

I sighed

Lawyer- you should also be prepared for a worst case scenario

Brandon- what do you mean worst case scenario?

Lawyer- this isn't exactly an open and shut case, worst case Jude goes back with Travis

Callie- oh.. I think we need another lawyer

Brandon- Callie

Callie- no! no, if he thinks were gonna lose then I want another lawyer!

Lawyer- I'm not saying were gonna lose, but you need to be prepared that he might have to go back

Callie- I can't afford to think that way! I have to get custody

Brandon- shouldn't it help in any way that Jude wants to come live with us

Lawyer- it helps, only if Jude can tell the judge that

Callie- he will, we can just explain it to him

Lawyer- that's good but.. are you willing to have him testify.. in court against his father

Brandon POV

Callie paced the room, it was getting late but she just wouldn't go to bed. 

Brandon- Callie, we'll figure it out in the morning.. just sleep on it

Callie- I just don't know what to do about this trial, if I make Jude testify..

Brandon- it would help our side a lot

Callie- yeah but.. being in the court room, having to testify right in front of dad.. I don't know if I can have him to that, it would be to hard on him

Brandon- we can talk to Jude about it.. in the morning 

Callie- I just.. oh

Brandon- what? what is it Callie?

I got out of bed and headed over to her, she grabbed my arm for stability and held her belly.

Callie- I don't.. I don't know, somethings wrong.. somethings wrong with the baby

Brandon- I'm gonna call an ambulance

Callie- no.. no Brandon 

Brandon- what?

Callie- lets.. lets just go to the hospital
