Disclaimer: No, I do not own them. Unfortunately for me. "sigh"

I also don't own the stunning music video, from which I got this idea. I just hope the author doesn't mind, if yes, just tell me!

A/N: I'm bringing a new story. This one is actually based on absolutely fantastic music video called "Stardust to remember you by" by Joana. Check it out on youtube with the rest of her amazing work. Sorry that the prologue is so short, but I had to start somewhere. Also, nothing is as it seems, so give me and this little new-born child of mine a chance :).

A/N-2: Well, the story was beta-read and I want to thank you, Lisa (Bonefan21), once more for it!

Prologue

She couldn't be sure, if the sight scared or pleased her, because this wasn't something she'd expected, welcomed or even thought possible. They were careful. She had always been very careful. And yet, here she was, standing in her bathroom, tighly gripping the sink and looking at those two red strips. It had taken her by surprise. Actually, every event for the last three weeks had taken her by surprise. Her life had been twisting and turning ever since then. Since her lover was killed. If there really was a God, he had to have a strange sense of humor for doing this to her. As if taking her parents from her life wasn't enough. As if killing him wasn't enough. As if making an innocent and unborn child a half orphan was something that she deserved. What they both deserved.

"Why did you do it? Why did you decide so suddenly, that you want to cross that line you made with me?" Her question was, for a short moment,standing between them. Her eyes were staring into his with such an innocence and hurt, that it made him think. "Why was this woman destined to cross his path?"

"Because I couldn't stay away from you anymore. Because I was afraid, that if I'd kept waiting for some unknown things to settle, somebody would take you away from me. I almost lost you last year because of Sully. Because I told you to go with him. He was the good guy and I knew, he could make you happy." She looked at him, the hurt in her eyes didn't disappear and he knew in that moment, what she was thinking about. "I wanted to be the one, the one who makes you happy, who brightens your smile every day. Who wakes up beside you every morning and who goes to bed with you every night."

But none of this was now important. He was dead, killed because of her. He'd wanted to protect her and this time, death found him.

They had been in a relationship for only a couple of weeks. Right after her father had been acquitted and released. On that night, she had left her apartment and gone to his place. She'd needed to talk, to explain her reasons. But when she arrived, no words had been spoken. He had just held her in his embrace, the only thought on their minds... Never let go.

"What will happen with us? What will happen, when they discover we're together?"

"You want this to be something more than just a one night stand?" His face was curious, he expected, that in the morning she would run away.

"You don't-"

"No, no, babe. I want it, I want us more than anything."

She had agreed. How much easier her life would be now, if she had just taken off that morning? If she had never come to his door that night?

Brennan slowly left her bathroom and crossed the apartment to sit on her couch. She always suspected that if there would be a situation like this, she would just brush it away. She never wanted/planned to bring a child into this world. But suddenly she felt there's no way in hell, that she wouldn't keep this child of theirs. Even if it meant she had to raise her or him on her own, for them to never meet and know the man she had once fallen in love with.

Despite everything she smiled. He would be so proud of her if he could see her right now. His deep brown eyes would look at her, he would give her his trademark charm smile and tell her what neither of them had the chance to say.
