Okay so this is my third story ever and it is about Balsco, or Rex and Gigi if you prefer to call it. It is about the time that Brody is losing it. In this story, he comes after Gigi and it is up to Rex to save her. Just so you know, Gigi has told Rex and Shane about how Rex is Shane's father and Shane does not hate Rex and Rex and Gigi are together.

Chapter 1
Getting All The Facts
"Thank you so much for watching him for a couple of days Viki." Gigi gratefully told the woman. "Well, sure Gigi. No problem dear, but are you sure that there is nothing wrong?" She asked Gigi in a concerned tone. Gigi knew that if she told Viki her concerns, it may cause more harm than good. "No, I just don't want Shane to be around when Brody is packing. I don't want him upset." Viki nodded her head in understanding. Gigi thanked her and got in her car to go home and really hoped that her concerns were just being her usual worrywart self. Brody had been acting very strangely lately and she did not really feel comfortable around him and hoped that he would not give her a valid reason to feel that way. She just wanted him to pack his stuff and leave. Gigi let out the breath that she hadn't realized she was holding as she stepped out of her car and saw Brody's. She slowly walked to the front door in anxiety and thought to herself here we go.

Rex walked into Viki's house and thought that he heard Shane's voice coming from what sounded like the living room. Maybe Gigi is here too, Rex thought to himself as a smile spread across his face. He walked into the room and his heart melted when Shane's face lit up as he noticed Rex walk into the room. Things were still a little awkward and tense between the two of them but they were slowly getting past that. "Hey buddy." Rex greeted him. Shane happily replied "Hey R-Dad" Rex grinned as Shane corrected himself. He understood that it was going to be a hard habit for Shane to get into, especially after he had gotten used to calling Brody dad. Thinking about Brody brought up thoughts about Gigi "Where's mom?" Rex asked and Shane's smile dimmed a little. Rex narrowed his eyes and Shane knew the look to mean that he should explain. "She dropped me off here for a couple of days so that I did not have to be at the house to see Brody packing and leaving. She thought that it would make me sad." Rex nodded his head in understanding and asked "Wouldn't it?" Shane shrugged his shoulders "If it had been before, then yeah I would have been sad. But I know that he is not really my dad, you are and now I just want you, and mom and I to start over like a real family. And I understand, even though mom does not think that I do, that when Brody is gone we can do that. So no, I am not sad that he is leaving." "Do you know how smart a kid you are, Shane?" Rex asked him, stunned. Shane just grinned in reply. Rex and Shane and Viki happily chatted for a while, but the entire time Rex was worried about Gigi in the back of his mind. He hoped that she was on her way here.

Gigi walked into the house as Brody was walking down the stairs and he spotted her as she closed the door and glared at her. Gigi felt extremely uncomfortable "Look, Brody, I know that you are mad but I think that it is all for the best. For Shane and for me because he needs a dad. His real dad." Brody's eyes narrowed at her last comment and Gigi wished that she had not said anything to him. Brody continued packing and Gigi asked him if he needed any help with anything and he just glared at her. She took that as a no. She did not know what she was supposed to do, or why she had even come here in the first place. Okay, so that is a lie. I know why I came, because I felt bad. And look at where it has gotten me, into an uncomfortable situation that I don't know how to get out of. Just as these thoughts were running through Gigi's head, Brody finally spoke "You are going to regret making me leave Gigi. Shane loved having me around and if you think that Rex is going to be a better dad than I have been. Actually, if you think that he is going to be any kind of dad at all, you are crazy." Brody's words made Gigi angrier than she had ever been, "Who do you think that you are? It is not about who will make a better dad to Shane, Brody, it is about who his biological father is and that is not you. No matter how much you want or wish that it was. And for the record, you really were not that great of an influence on Shane." Brody just stared at her for a moment and then threw the bag that he was holding to the floor and advanced towards her menacingly.
