Callie POV
I was only a month away from giving birth, we had hardly anything ready. we had a crib and some baby clothes but hadn't even talked names yet. over the past couple months we had converted the room that was to be the baby's nursery into a room for Jude. money was tight but Brandon and me hoped we would be able to move into a bigger place soon.
Brandon- hey
Callie- hey, how was your day?
Brandon- um.. it was good, I stopped my my moms on the way home
Callie- oh yeah
Brandon- yeah, they said they want to have a baby shower for you
Callie- really?
Brandon- yeah, they want you to call and let them know what weekend you can do it
Callie- I don't know, I mean everything's so hectic right now.. getting ready for the custody hearing
Brandon- well you need to find the time
Callie- yeah when?
the phone rang, it was out of my reach so Brandon got up to answer it. after a few minutes he put the phone down and came back over to me.
Callie- who was it?
Brandon- um.. it was the lawyer
Callie- whats wrong?
Brandon- Travis's lawyer.. he talked to the judge today and..
Callie- Brandon just tell me
Brandon- Jude has to go stay with your dad this weekend
Callie- what! he can't do that, Brandon we can't let him go
Brandon- we don't have a choice, he has to go
Brandon POV
Jude sat on the couch in our apartment, he and his jacket on and his suitcase siting in front of him. Callie sat next to him reassuring him that this weekend would be okay.
Callie- you have everything?
Jude- yeah
Callie- look.. this weekend won't be that bad, maybe you'll have fun
Jude- I want to stay here
Callie looked at me, I could tell she was about to cry.. this was killing her
Brandon- Jude.. you have to go back for now but your coming back okay
Callie- yeah this is just a couple days then the hearing and you get to come stay with us for good
we heard a knock on the door, I went to answer it. the social worker was here to get Jude
Social Worker- hey, ready to go Jude?
Jude looked back at us
Jude- Callie
Callie- can you just give us a minute, please
Social Worker- sure, I'll wait out here
the social worker went out in the hallway, after she left Jude clung to Callie and cried.
Jude- please, please don't make me go
Callie- Jude, its okay..
Callie looked at me
Callie- I can't do this, I can't..
Brandon- your the one that said we have to play by the rules so we can get custody
Callie- he's my bother, he's terrified.. I can't..
Brandon- you have to Callie
Jude- please.. please, I'll be good.. let me stay here
Callie- I know.. I know, listen to me.. your coming back okay
Brandon- yeah Jude we love you..
Callie- your gonna come back with us soon okay
Jude continued to cry until Callie reluctantly handed him over to the social worker
