Changing Course ( a Brallie/Foster Fanfiction)

Chapter 3 : Custody

* 1 month later*

Callie's POV

1 month. 1 month since the fundraiser, since Sophia's attempted suicide , and since Brandon and I kissed. Thanks to the Quinn's fundraiser, Girls United got a new house and found a place to stay. Which is great! On the other hand, Sophia did attempt suicide. That's all I know, I haven't talked to them since last month. I didn't even visit her at the hospital. Then there's Brandon and I. Surprisingly, we haven't talked or let alone look at each other.

Was he still thinking? Probably not.

"Callie, Dinners ready .",Mariana calls to me from our room's doorway.

I sit up from laying belly-down on my bed doing homework. Going down the stairs, Jesus follows behind me. I sit next to Jude as he starts to cut parts out of the lasagna. Soon the whole family sits across the table with Brandon diagonal to me . A ring of the doorbell interrupts our families small talk. Stef gets up up the table, still in her uniform, and answers the door. We all stop eating as we hear murmurs coming from the distance.

" Callie, Lena!" ,Stef calls form the front door.

We both get up almost simultaneously from the table and head to the front door. At the door is a white lady with jade black hair and brown eyes.Next to her was a middle aged man in a gray suit.

"Hi, I'm with Mission Beach Foster and Adoption agency. I'm here to inform you that you are going home!", she said with a cheery voice and a smile.

"What? but I'm already home", I responded jokingly , not knowing what she was talking about.

The man in the suite responded, "Hi, sorry for the confusion, I'm Jared Green. I'm Robert Quinn's lawyer. He's been fighting for custody rights for the past month, trying to get you into his househol-"

"I'm sorry , why weren't we informed of this?", Lena interrupted.

" Well, it's went under consideration that you were planning on adopting Callie but you are just her Foster parents. She wouldn't have gotten adopted if Robert didn't sign to giving up his rights... and he has made it very clear that he won't. He has singed to get his parental rights back. Look, she's almost 18, the truth is Robert wasn't going to sign the papers so all the court dates and arguing would take to much time. By the time it would all be sorted out she would be 18 and have no need to be adopted. The judge came to his conclusion. Here are the papers", He said monotone,while handing over the papers.

I stayed there shocked,still as a statue while Stef and Lena rustled though the papers. They rustle, flip the pages back and forth, and read them.

"But she's our daughter. We've keep her,We've took her in!",Stef said very aggressively.

"I'm sorry ,but the decision is all ready made", the lady said.

Stef put her hand on my shoulder while I stayed there, staring into space.

" We'll be waiting as you get your stuff"

I turn to look at Stef and Lena which just leads to a look of sympathy from them. When I go to the stairs to get my stuff I see them. Mariana,Jesus,Brandon, and Jude standing there. I walk to the stairs, trying to avoid eye contact. As I get closer I see tears in his eyes and a worried look across his face.
