  When Callie had found out she was pregnant, she knew exactly where she wanted her and Brandon’s baby to be born. 

Brandon was reluctant, but ultimately gave in. 

Two days before her due date, Brandon and Callie drove to Idywilde. They’d reserved the exact Cabin where they had first slept together, finally giving in to every feeling they’d ever had for one another. 

    After the long drive Callie was feeling a bit crampy. She decided to take a hot shower while Brandon brought their bags in from the car. Not 20 minutes later Callie stood in the bathroom doorway, with a towel wrapped around her middle, breathing deeply through a contraction. “ Brandon..” she called to him from across the cabin “ my water just broke”. One hand held her towel, and the other gripped the doorframe for support. 

“What?” Brandon asked frantically, rushing to Callie’s side. “ are you sure?” 

Callie nods tensing a bit more as the contraction intensifies “ hoooh I’m sure” she breathes out deeply.

Brandon’s eyes go wide and he chokes out a high pitched “ uh, okay.. okay.. uhm just breathe.. are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?” 

Callie takes Brandon’s shaking hand in hers and meets his eyes “ Brandon, you need to relax. It’s gonna get a lot worse than this before our baby gets here, and I’m gonna need you” she smiles and kisses his neck, trying to comfort him. Brandon takes his own deep breath and gives a more confident smile “ right, okay, so what do we do?” He asks still feeling a bit lost.

 “ we just wait” Callie answers

“Well, I guess I’ll start a fire” Brandon decides and steps away as Callie goes back into the bathroom to put clothes back on. She pulls on a pair of dark blue sweatpants, and Brandon’s Juliard sweatshirt. 

“ Cal, you okay?” Brandon calls as he comes inside from grabbing some extra firewood. He sets the wood near the fireplace and sits down on the couch in the middle of the cabin. 

Callie slowly waddles across the room and stands behind Brandon as he’s seated on the couch. As she feels another contraction building she places her hands on his shoulders, taking a deep breath in through her mouth and starting to rock her hips from side to side. Brandon leans back and gazes up at her. “ another one already?” He asks jumping up from the couch and hurrying to stand behind her, he wraps his arms around her, placing his hands at the underside of her tightening belly. He massages her tense stomach as she breathes with a bit of effort. 

When the contraction ends, they settle onto the couch. Brandon splayed out, so that Callie can sit between his legs. He rubs her shoulders, kisses her neck, and massages her hips as steady contractions continue for several hours. 

It’s nearly 11:00 P. M when Callie nudges Brandon awake. “ let’s go to bed” she whispers 

Brandon startles a bit” oh no! How long was I?” 

“ just a couple of minutes” Callie says before he can finish. 

Brandon sits up and offered a hand to Callie, helping her up, and they make their way to the bedroom. As Brandon opens the door to the room memories from years before flood his mind, he could still see Callie laying in the bed, the way her eyes lit up when she saw him, the way it felt to hold her.. everything, until he’s brought back to reality by the sound of Callie moaning softly.  She’s sitting on the edge of the bed, facing him, her hands out stretched asking for him to join her. 

He kneels down in front of her, taking her hands in his, feeling her squeeze them tight as she lets out soft, low sounds from her lips 

“ that’s it Cal, deep breaths” he whispers not moving until she relaxes again. They settle into the large, soft, king sized bed, Callie laying on her side, one hand on her round, low belly. Brandon is pressed up against her back, running his hand up and down her body. 

With the next contraction Callie groans feeling an incredible amount of pressure between her legs. She bends her knee and lifts her top leg splaying it open. Like a clam shell “ ooooh!” She lets out, curling around her belly a bit. “ what? What’s wrong?” Brandon asks anxiously. 

“ mmmfh there’s just.. pressure” Callie starts to pant slightly. Her hand reaches to pull her pants down, and Brandon takes the Que to sit up and help her remove them.

As the contraction peaks, Callie bares down hard. Brandon watches in awe, and slight nervousness as he sees the shape of Callie’s belly change. 

Brandon waits till the contraction ends before he sits up,  with his back against the headboard. 

Carefully, he pulls Callie up between his legs. He leans her head into his chest and massages her belly between contractions. 

Brandon can tell their baby must be getting close as Callie’s grunts grow deeper and she starts to lose a bit of control in her breaths.

Callie grows a bit anxious as she feels the baby descend until it’s sitting just inside of her already sore, swollen opening. 

As she starts to push for what feels like the hundredth time, she feels Brandon massaging her tense shoulders, and his lips brush her left ear as he starts to sing to her in a low whisper. 

Callie’s face flushes and her hands grip Brandon’s thighs tightly as she feels herself start to open with their babies head. 

Brandon’s left hand slips down between Callie’s wide spread legs. He can’t help but gasp as he feels the babies head energing. 

“ Callie! “ he blurts out “ I can feel her head!!” 

Callie grunts and pants “ not as much as I feel it” . Her response causes Brandon to chuckle in helpless sympathy. His fingers softly trace her stretching lips as she huffs and puffs through the intense burning growing stronger with each passing second. 

   A sudden burst of shivers run up her spine as she feels Brandon’s thumb barely graze her protruding clit. She takes an involuntary breath and and her whole body tenses as the babies head pops out into Brandon’s hand

Callie gasps to catch her breath as Brandon feels for the cord. His hand is shaky and Callie feels the urge to push again before he’s said anything. 

“ I neeed to push” she groans and bares down hard. Her forehead glistens with sweat and she bites her lip hard as she feels the babies boney shoulders forcing her open again. 

   “ Come on Cal! Just one more!” He attempts encourage as he sees the pain on her face. 

After what feels like hours the rest of the babies body slides out for Callie to catch and bring to her chest. 

Brandon wraps his arms around her, and his new baby daughter and kisses Callie’s hair.
