Hey there.

So, this one-shot is probably my favorite out of all of them. I think it's really cute and I hope you agree.

Oh, and thanks for all the positive reviews, they make me light up with glee.

Silence.

Something that did not frequent Brandon and Callie's house.

But right then, at 2:03 AM, it was silent.

Not for long, though.

Brandon and Callie were fast asleep, when a tiny little human with a tear-stained face cracked open their bedroom door.

Callie was a lightsleeper, years of being in the foster system did that to a person.

So as soon as she heard the creak of the door she was sitting upright, worried.

"Hey Bea, what's the matter?" Callie asked, stepping off the bed and going over to her daughter.

"I-I-I had a-a-a-a bad dream," Beatrice said, tears slowly falling out of her glossy green eyes, "Daddy, he-h-he left. And I-I miss him."

"Oh honey," Callie said as she scooped the four year old into her arms, "Daddy would never leave you. I promise. He's right there, see? Do you want to talk to him?"

Beatrice nodded, wiping her tears with her blankie.

Callie placed Beatrice on to the bed and she crawled over to Brandon.

"Daddy," Bea started, poking her father's cheek.

"Hhmm?" Brandon mumbled into his pillow.

"Are you going to leave me and mommy?"

"Honey Bea, I would never leave you and mommy," Brandon said comfortingly and still half asleep.

For Callie, the conversation seemed eerily similar and it broke her heart. She remembered being a scared eighteen year old, afraid that the perfect golden boy would find his perfect girl next door and dump her on the spot.

That never happened

"You and mommy make me so happy. I'm never going anywhere. I promise. Okay?"

"Kay," Beatrice said, flashing Brandon a shy smirk in true Callie fashion. He pressed a sweet kiss to her forehead and Callie watched the scene, smiling like an idiot.

"Honey, do you want to sleep in bed with us tonight?" Callie offered.

"Yes please. I call the middle. When I'm in the middle, we look like a sammich. You two is the bread and I is the pickle!"

I love you for reading.
