Callie POV

I was pacing back and forth in our living room. I was so anxious and getting worried.

Brandon- Callie sit down

Callie- why arn't they here yet? the social worker said she was bringing Jude back at three

Brandon- she's only a few minutes late, just calm down

Callie- how can I calm down, what if..

Brandon- Callie your supposed to be on bed rest, now sit down!

I sat on the couch to appease him but still moved anxiously, then there was knock on the door. I started to get up.

Brandon- I'll get it

he opened the door

Brandon- hey bud

Callie- hey

Jude came in and Callie wrapped him in a hug

Social Worker- I'll be back next weekend

Brandon- okay, thank you

Brandon shut the door, we all sat on the couch

Callie- how was it?

Jude- okay

Callie- how was dad?

Jude- good, we went to the park and out for ice-cream

Brandon- that sounds like fun

Jude- yeah, we went to a toy store and dad bought me this

Jude held out a hand held video game system

Callie- wow, that was nice of him

Jude- yeah, he said he's gonna buy me a new computer too and lots of games

Brandon- why don't you go unpack your stuff, then we can get something to eat

Jude- okay

Brandon POV

me and Callie were crawling into bed later that night. 

Callie- he's bribing him!

Brandon- I know

Callie- I never thought after this weekend, I never thought he would actually want to go back there

Brandon- just because Travis is buying him all that stuff dosen't mean he wants to live with him

Callie- what if he does?

Brandon- it's not about what he wants.. its about keeping him safe

Callie- yeah.. I guess

Brandon- Jude may be a kid but I don't think your dad can just buy him after everything he's been through

Callie- if we lose this court case.. if I lose Jude

Brandon- that's not gonna happen

Callie- what if it does? I can't make him go back there

Brandon- then he won't have too

Callie- what?

Brandon- we both have been thinking the same thing.. we just haven't said it

I looked at Callie, her beautiful eyes nearly filled with tears

Brandon- if the outcome dosen't go our way, we need to leave.. we need to take Jude and get out of here
