When I started reading the Stephanie Plum series it reminded me of a song I'd heard when I was a little girl. I always loved the song and just thought it was perfect for Stephanie. I had to do some quick thinking to try to make it fit for the person I wanted her to end up with though. The song is; Torn Between Two Lovers and was sung by Mary MacGregor. Hope you like this little song-fic.
Stephanie Plum, AKA The Bombshell Bounty Hunter, AKA Bomber, AKA Cupcake, AKA Babe, pulled the Cayenne into the driveway and parked. She sat for a moment looking at the house remembering…
There are times
when a woman
has to say what's on her mind
even though she knows
how much it's gonna hurt
She pulled the keys from the ignition and got out of the vehicle. Slowly she made her way to the door and rang the doorbell. The door opened and Joe smiled out at her. "Hey cupcake. You don't have to knock. Come on in."
With a sad smile she asked, "Hey Joe, you got a minute to talk?"
They made their way into the living room and sat down on the sofa. Morelli turned off the T.V. and asked, "What's up?"
Before I say another word
Let me tell you I love you
Let me hold you close and
say these words as gently
as I can
"Joe, I'm sorry, but there's something I gotta tell you."
There's been another man
that I've needed and I've loved
But that doesn't mean I
love you less
"I've been with Ranger."
And he knows he can't
possess me and he knows
he never will
"When I'm with him I feel complete, like I'm free and can fly."
There's just this empty place
inside of me that only he
can fill
"I feel alive when I'm with him. He never tries to change me or ask for things I'm not ready to give."
Torn between two lovers
feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is
breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers
feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is
breaking all the rules
"That's why I went away for a few days. I had to think this all out and make some decisions."
You mustn't think you've
failed me
Just because there's
someone else
You were the first real
love I ever had
"I needed to know if I was holding onto us because I was truly in love or because it was safe."
And all the things I
ever said I swear
they still are true
For no one else can have
the part of me I gave
to you
"I do love you Joe and I always will. It's just not the kind of love you deserve. There's a part of me that will always belong to you…"

"What I came here for today is to finally be honest with you and myself. I didn't plan to fall in love, and I'm sorry to hurt you like this."
I couldn't really blame you
if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside
I'm asking you to stay
"But I'd really like it if we could stay friends. I don't know what's in store, I haven't even told Ranger how much I'm in love with him. This is all new to me. Even if he can't fully love me, I'll take whatever I can get. I just needed to let you go so you can find your own true love. Can we still be friends?"

Morelli looked up at me, tears falling down his cheeks, "I don't know yet if I can do that. Maybe in time…but, I just don't know if I'm strong enough to watch you loving another man."
We hugged for several minutes as I tried to comfort him. Gently I kissed his cheek and stood, "I'm sorry Joe. I wish I could have loved you enough, but I can't survive without him." With that I pulled his key off my key ring and laid it on the table before making my way out to the Cayenne and heading towards Ranger
