Anchor: A Brallie One Shot

It was Saturday, the day that Callie was taking Jude with her to meet Robert and his family. She didn’t want him feeling threatened by her new found family. Callie hopes by taking Jude to meet them that he’ll realize that the situation isn’t as bad as he thinks it is. Mariana had dance practice for the upcoming competition in Los Angeles. Jesus had wrestling practice, today he would be up against Emma. They were competing against each other for Team Captain seeing as Vico is now at military school across the country. Today was going to be a long day for the eldest of the Adams Foster clan. Brandon just didn’t know it yet.

Soon after the other teens in the house were out and going amongst their day, Lena had informed Brandon that today was the day he would tell his mother and father about what happened with Dani. Lena reassured him that it would all be okay and she’d be there for him every step of the way. Brandon got ready for the day and made his way downstairs and Lena went to call Mike saying Stef needed to talk. Brandon tried to relax but that was next to impossible knowing that all hell was about to break loose and he’d be the one to blame. Lena took a seat next to Brandon as they waited for Stef to arrive home.

Stef walked through the door hoping that Lena was able to convince Brandon to get out of the house for the day so they could have some alone time. “Lena, I’m home.” Stef yelled as she threw her keys on the table in the foyer.

“I’m in the living room.” Lena replied knowing that none of this was going to be easy.

“Hi.” Stef said as she walked in and noticed that Brandon was sitting there she was hoping that they’d be able to have the afternoon to themselves but that didn’t look like that was going to happen.

“Hi, Honey.” Lena got up to meet Stef and kissed her as the doorbell rang.

“What’s going on? Are you expecting someone?” Stef questioned as she made her way to the front door. Lena followed behind Stef knowing that it was Mike. Stef opened the door to see no one other than Mike standing there.

“Hi.” Mike said as he had his hands in his pockets having no idea what was about to go down.

“Hey, what’s up?” Stef asked her ex-husband as she let him in.

“Lena called, said you wanted to talk?” Mike said which it came out more like a question. Stef was baffled she didn’t want to talk to Mike.

“I do?” Stef turned to her wife before asking, “What’s going on, love?” Lena took a seat next to Brandon as Stef and Mike made their way into the living room.

“Is this about the surgery? You change your mind?” Stef asked as she looked at Brandon. Brandon didn’t even know how to tell them. He couldn’t even look at them and chances are they’d never look at him the same way again not after this.

Lena spoke up before Brandon could, “No this isn’t about his hand.” Lena sighed before continuing. “Uh, Brandon has something important to say and I’d like everyone to promise that no one leaves this house until we all again how to handle this, together okay?” Lena stated making it clear that they all needed to handle this like adults but that would be easier said than done.

“Okay, so.. What’s with the buildup?”

“What are we talking about?” Mike asked and Brandon finally looked up from his hands and made eye contact with the two people he never wanted to disappoint, his parents.

“It’s about Dani.” Brandon said nervously as he fidgeted with his hands.

“I knew it.” Mike yelled. “I knew you had a problem with her, Brandon.” Mike continued to yell.

“No, no, it’s…” Brandon tried to get out but had no idea how he was going to say this.

“B?” Stef questioned as she knew something was wrong. It wasn’t like him not to be straight forward with her or anyone else for that matter.
