Callie POV
After coming home from the doctors I just sat on the couch, letting the news sink in. The words from the doctor just kept repeating through my mind. Brandon was stomping around the house.
Brandon- I'm gonna start making some calls
Callie- Brandon, the doctor said its not treatable..
Brandon- I know, that's why I'm gonna talk to some other doctors
Brandon left the room and went upstairs to make the calls. I knew he wouldn't stop untill he knew he had done everything he could, but all I wanted right now was for someone to hold me and make me feel safe again.
Colleen- mommy..
I looked over and saw Colleen had come in and was standing in front of me.
Colleen- what wrong?
Callie- I'm fine sweetie, mommy's fine..
Colleen reached her arms out to me and smiled.
Colleen- hug!
I picked her up and held her in my arms, hugging her for a long time.
Callie- you make my days, you know that?
Later that night Brandon was still working on making calls, I decided I should go tell Stef and Lena what was going on before they heard from someone else. When I pulled into their driveway I saw Jude playing in the front yard, completely unaware that anything was wrong. We waved to each other before I entered the house and saw Stef and Lena in the dining room.
Stef- hey sweetie
Callie- hi
Lena- we didn't know you were coming over..
Callie- sorry I didn't call ahead of time
Stef- thats okay, your welcome here anytime
Lena- sit down
I took a seat at the table with them.
Stef- so whats up?
Callie- I haven't been feeling well lately, so I went to the doctor..
Stef- okay..
Callie- it turns out I.. I have cancer
Lena- what! cancer?
I nodded.
Stef- well what kind of treatment..
Callie- they can't treat what I have, the doctor said its already spread throughout my body and..
My voice started to break.
Stef- oh baby..
They gathered around me and hugged me. We were so consumed in the moment none of us heard Jude come inside.
Jude- whats going on?
We separated from the hug.
Callie- Jude.. come here I.. I need to tell you something
