Callie POV

I entered the foster house and made my way to the kitchen where Stef and Lena were getting dinner ready.

Callie- hey

Lena- hey honey, we didn't know you were coming over

Stef- want to stay for dinner?

Callie- I can't, I just came by to get that box of stuff you had for me..

Stef- right, I'll get it for you

Lena- how have you been feeling Callie?

Callie- pretty good physically..

Lena- and otherwise?

Callie- good.. things are.. good

Lena- good..

I could tell she wasn't buying it at all, but didn't want to push it either.

Callie- sorry.. its just.. me and Brandon are sort of at a crossroads right now

Lena- crossroads?

Callie- its just.. its been a few months since we lost the baby and.. I want to get pregnant again..

Lena- but Brandon dosen't want that?

Callie- he thinks it too soon, he thinks I'm just trying to replace the baby we lost

Lena- are you?

Callie- I don't know, I was just so happy when I was pregnant, we were so happy and I felt like I was doing something so.. important

Lena- maybe you need to find other ways to be happy, you can't depend on a baby to do that..

Brandon POV

I crawled into bed next to Callie, we had barely spoken the past few days. We remained silent as we turned off the light to go to sleep.

Callie- if.. if you want to go back to school.. I think you should do it, maybe your right.. maybe I'll think about going back for a few classes too..

Brandon- where is this coming from Callie?

Callie- I just.. was thinking about it and if we want to do something like this then.. now is the time

Brandon- what about having a baby?

Callie- I still want that, eventually..

Brandon- well.. I was thinking too

Callie- about?

Brandon- I was thinking.. if you want to have a baby, then maybe we should..

Callie- are you serious? you want to have a baby?

Brandon- I want you to have whatever you want, I want you to be happy..

Callie- I already am happy.. right here with you

I leaned in and kissed her. After we separated from the kiss, we just stared at each other for a minute.

Callie- so.. are you sure you really want to have a baby?

Brandon- yeah.. but before we start trying again, I want you to get checked out by the doctor and make sure everything's okay..

Callie- okay, I love you..

Brandon- I love you too

Callie snuggled up to me and we drifted off to sleep, listening to the rain beating softly on the roof.
