Say Anything

It doesn't matter how I feel

Callie, Stef, Lena, Robert, Sophia, Daphne, Wyatt and Rita all sat at the table talking. This conversation was about Callie and her happiness. All anyone has ever wanted is for Callie to be happy. But at what cost? What if being adopted wasn't what she needed? Would everyone be upset?

"Callie, you know all everyone wants is for you to be happy. That's all. What will make you happy?" Robert was the first to speak. Callie sat next to Wyatt with her hands in her lap.

"Robert's right, we just want you to be happy. What will make you happy?" Stef was the next to speak. Callie still said nothing.

"Cal, Stef and Robert are right. All I want is for you to be happy. That's how much I love you." Wyatt's words hit Callie in the stomach knocking the wind out of her. Wyatt saying that he loves her still makes her cringe. Of course just a few short weeks ago she had said those three words to Wyatt. But she wasn't in love with him. Callie still just sat there not saying a word.

"You know we're all here for you. We know you want to make everyone else happy but now is the time for you to do what makes you happy." Lena spoke as Callie looked around the table at everyone and then back down at her hands placed in her lap

Callie took a deep breath as she collected her thoughts before looking back, "I just need some time to figure out what that is exactly."

"Take your time. Don't rush it." Sophia, Callie's half-sister said. Yes, Sophia is Callie's half-sister but now she's more just like a sister than a half-sister. Just like Jude is her brother the half part doesn't matter.

"Take as much time as you need." Robert said as he smiled softly at his eldest daughter. Wyatt leaned over and kissed Callie's cheek. Callie felt safe but not as safe like she did when she was with Brandon.

Mike had arrived at the Foster's residence hoping to speak to Brandon about something very important. Jesus let Mike in.

"I didn't know you were coming over. Come in." Jesus gestured as Mike walked into the house that for once seemed so full of life filled with a ton of people.

"Yeah, I'm sorry to show up like this but I need to speak to Brandon. Do you know where he is?" Mike questioned.

"No, I'm sorry but Moms might know they're over at the table with Callie, Robert, Sophia, etc." Jesus shook his head and pointed in the direction of the table before heading into the living room to meet Hayley.

"Thanks." Mike made his way over to Stef and Lena. "Stef, have you seen Brandon?"

"Umm. I'm not sure where he is. Is everything okay?" Stef asked raising her eyebrow at her ex-husband. After the whole Ana thing Stef couldn't bring herself to trust Mike, especially with their son.

"Yes, I just needed to speak to him about something that's all." Mike said as Mariana made her way over to the table.

"He could be upstairs in his room. He's been spending a lot of time in their lately." Mariana said as Mat had his arms wrapped around Mariana. As much as Mariana missed Zac, it was nice to have someone there for her when she needed them.

"Thanks. I'll go check." Mike stairs to make his way to the stairs and upstairs to his son's room. Brandon's door was slightly ajar. Mike just walked in without knocking. Mike startled Brandon, he wasn't expecting anyone to just walk into his room without knocking.

"What the hell Dad? Haven't you heard of knocking?" Brandon said slightly angry. Mike looked at Brandon's computer screen and couldn't believe what Brandon was doing.

"Brandon. Oh my. I can't believe this. Your moms are NOT going to be happy about this. What the hell is going on?" Mike exclaimed tapping his foot as he had his arms crossed waiting for Brandon to answer.
