Callie's POV
Its been a week since Robert showed up and Im just really not sure what to do. Brandon keeps asking whats wrong but I mean I just cant bring myself to tell him. This is a really big deal and knowing I dont have Jude here to be in the same situation makes it even harder. We used to be a team when it came to our parents until we found out we had different dads. There doesnt seem to be anything wrong with Robert its just I think it may be a little to late to start what could have been with our father/daughter relationship.
"Hey pretty girl" I hear Brandon say behind me as Im doing the dishes
"Hey pretty boy" I reply sticking my tongue out as he walks over and tickles me making me wipe all the bubble over him resulting in a bubble fight until Sammy comes in and we gang up on him.
"Ahh ahhh mummy stoppp" He screams while giggling. We eventually stop "Can we go to the shops today mummy?" He asks looking all cute in his pyjamas still
"Umm why do you want to go to the shops?"
"To get toys" she says like it was obvious
"Oh pfft sorry should've know that" I joke "But we can go and you get get one. I repeat ONE toy" I say holding up one finger and he nods in agreement.
"Want me to dress him?" B asks.
"um after last time I dont think so" I say tapping his chest walking out of the room with Sammy up to his room.
"Hey what was wrong with what I put him in the other day?" brandon then asks following us
"Um try even his underwear were the same colour. He literally had nothing on but orange clothing. he looked like a walking jellybean" I tell him and Sammy giggles. I walk to his dresser and get him some faded grey jeans, blue t-shirt and black leather jacket. "Hear chuck these on" I tell Sammy then walk out of the room with him.
"So can I choose my outfit for the day or is that too big of a responsibility for little Brandon" B says walking to our bedroom. I cant tell if he's joking or angry.
"Brandon I didnt mean it like that. I just meant ya know that sometimes you dress him mismatched and sometimes too matched"
"Callie they're clothes what does it matter?"
"Because believe it or not I like my kid to look good in public. Jesus Brandon I got judged by every fucking person for the last 5 years when they asked where Sammy's dad was and I replied with oh he's not in his life"
"That was my fault!" he yells back
"No. It might not have been but I still dealt with it. So when I want him dressed or looking or sitting a specific way, I at least deserve that say"
"You're acting like your the more important parent Callie"
"Well maybe I am"
"Well then maybe you dont need me" he yells back. That hurt. I guess I deserved it though.
"Sammy needs you" I say a little gentler
"Clearly you dont."
"You know what Im not feeling the shops anymore. I'll be in my room" I tell him.
"Our room" He corrects.
"You sure about that?" I ask turning my head and he looks shocked. I turn back around and walk up the stairs to our room.
BRANDON'S POV
I feel really bad I said that. I know I was angry but I had no right to hurt her. Sammy comes running down the stairs with a big smile printed across his face.
"Daddyyy!!! Lets go" He says jumping into my arms. I lift him onto the kitchen counter.
"Umm yeah about that buddy maybe another day yeah?"
"Nooo" He whines suddenly looking disappointed. Thats one look I definitely can not handle. "Just give me 1 minutes" I say. I run into the laundry to chuck on some jeans and a shirt. "Alright buddy lets go" I say. I get my keys and we head off. I text Callie to make sure she doesnt freak out when she comes out of the room but Im sure she'll be ok.
TO: Callie <3
Hey baby, Im sorry and I hope you know that. Sammy still really wanted to go so I took him to the shops anyway but we'll be back soon. I love you xx
She didnt reply but I excpected that anyway. While we were out I came up with the perfect scenario for my plan. Ive been planning something for ages but I just didnt know until right now. I quickly change route and we go to a photography studio. you'd think Id just go to my girlfriends but thats to much trying to keep a secret from her employees so I go to the nearest one I can find and me and Sammy jump out of the car after I tell him my plan and he's over the moon with excitement.
"Alright buddy you ready to go"
"Yeah daddy" He says smiling big while grabbing my hand. His gentle touch will never stop me melting.
After the photo session they print out my photos since I definitely need them today and I take sammy home. Stopping at the shops to get him a truck on the way. When we get inside Callie in laying on the couch and Sammy runs up and jumps ontop of her making her jump.
"ugh jesus Sammy" she says and he giggles.
"Look daddy got me a truck"
"Wow. How about you go play with it in your room with all your others?" she suggests and he nods taking off out of the room.
"So..."
She just looks at me and rolls over. I bite my lip really contemplating weather or not this should be done now but I just cant help myself. I run up to our room and go through my sock draw to find the box. I then rush back downt the stairs and infront of Callie who is now sitting up looking at me with utter confusion.
"What?" she asks wanting me to talk
"Ok so. I was planning on waiting until at least the new year but I guess this couldnt wait another week or so and-"
"Brandon what?"
"I feel like waiting would probably make this more romantic" I suggest
"Well you've already started so ya may as well finish"
"Ok but first I need to know your not mad at me otherwise I already know your anwer to this question"
"Im not mad at you Brandon I was just annoyed.....we're fine" she assures me
"Ok well....I got these photos done of Sammy want to see them?"
"Um sure...." she says taking the photos. The first one is Sammy smiling a cheesy smile making her laugh. Then next one is him holding his hand up like he has an idea. 3rd is him holding a sign saying mummy. 4th - holding up a sign me and daddy love you. I see her smile getting bigger and bigger as she flips through. Then next one is the last one. Its Sammy holding a sign. "Can we complete our family" She turns around to look at me confused to what it meant but then her mouth falls open when she sees me down on one knee with the box open showing her the engagment ring I bought for her.
"Will you Marry me Callie Jacob?" I ask
