This story takes place one year after Toni's death. Dylan is living with Brenda in London. They are not yet married but that is about to change since they are already parents of one year old twin girls and Brenda is three months pregnant with their third child.

Note: Again I have changed things and made them happen at differently than they did on the show. In this story Dylan will have returned to California like he did on the show but he will eventually return to California with Brenda instead. (In this story Dylan will never have gotten back together with Kelly or ever gotten involved with Gina). Please Review!

Ch 1 Why?

Dylan is walking down a London street on his way home thinking about how much can change in just a short period of time. It was only a year ago that he was wondering around the world feeling lost and alone after he had left California after Toni's death. He had had no idea where he was going. He was trying to run away from the memories of Toni's death but everywhere he went the memories would follow. In the weeks after he left California he hardly got any sleep because of the nightmare and memories of Toni's death. He kept looking for answers as to why Toni had to die and he couldn't help but blame himself for what had happened. It should have been him who died that day but Toni had went to meet her father that day and she was the one that died instead.

One day while he was just drifting around not really knowing where he was going and he just wound up in London. When he had been in London for a couple of days he had decided to drop in and see Brenda. He was really close to going over the edge again he had been fighting the urges of turning to drugs or alcohol to block out the memories when he recalled his wedding day and the telegram he had received from Brenda telling him that she would always love him. Then he had recall all the times Brenda had been there for him in the past before she had moved to London. So he had deiced to go and see her. Only he had not been prepared for what he would find when he got to her apartment or for what he would feel when he seen her again.

One Year Earlier

When Dylan had first got to London was in his hotel room trying to fight the memories of his recent wedding and the tragic ending of his marriage the following day. For weeks now Dylan has been fighting the memories by trying to run away from the memories but no matter where he went the memories would follow. As Dylan recalls the day after his wedding he lost the women that he thought he would spend the rest of his life with when Toni had went to meet he father after he had called. When Dylan had found out from Brandon about the trap that Toni was walking into he had they had went after her but it was to late. When they had found her she had already been shot and killed by the bullets that were meant for him. Dylan can't stop feeling guilty for being the one reasonable for what had happen to Toni. He should have been the one to die but he didn't because Toni is the one that is dead instead and Dylan blames himself for that. The day he married Toni he had no idea how soon their life together or plans of the future would all of a sudden be cut short. He wants to know why Toni is the one who died while he is still alive. As Dylan recalls his wedding day he recalls his conversation with Brandon before the wedding and the telegram that he had received from Brenda.

When he had try to push the memories of his wedding day out of his mind he had not had much luck. As he was setting there feeling sorry for himself he had notice that the bar in his hotel room was fully stocked. Dylan decides that what he really needs is a drink as he goes over to the bar to pour himself a drink but he is stopped in his tracks by an unexpected memory. Dylan mind flashes back to the night when he was in high school and he was out on his first date with Brenda they had went back to his place only to find his father had returned from where ever he had been after getting into a huge fight with his father Dylan had been about to pour himself when Brenda had stopped him. Dylan had been angry with his father he had not wanted to talk about what had happen with father. While Brenda had not pressured Dylan to talk about his problems with his father Dylan had been so angry at his father and had unintentional taken it on Brenda. He had regretted it afterwards and instead he had found himself opening up to her about his past and wound up kiss her passionately. Startled by the way his thoughts are going Dylan set the bottle of liqueur down that he was about ready to pour and he goes for a walk to clear his head. While he is out walking Dylan has a sudden urge to go and see Brenda. He doesn't know where it where it came from all he knows is that he needs to see Brenda. A half hour later he finds him finds himself standing outside of Brenda's apartment wondering if he should knock or not.

Meanwhile inside Brenda is staring out the window wishing that things could be different but she knows that they can't. There hasn't been a day since she found out that she is pregnant that she hadn't wished that she had returned to California the summer after she left but she didn't. When she had found out she was pregnant she had panicked she knew that if her father would freak out if she found out she was pregnant and the Dylan was the father and would do everything he could to keep them apart. Because she was afraid she had stayed in London and she had kept her pregnancy from everyone including Dylan but knowing how her father felt about Dylan she had decided to keep her pregnancy a secret. She knew that if her father found out that he would probably kill Dylan. Her father never thought that Dylan was right for her and he never liked Dylan. There were several time thought out her pregnancy that she has thought about telling Dylan that he was going to be a father but the time never seem right. First Dylan was battling his problems with alcohol and drugs. And then when Brenda had finally decided that she couldn't keep the truth from him any longer and planned on returning to California Brandon had called and told her that Dylan was getting married. So Brenda had decided to stay in London and raise the children alone since she found out that she was having twins. The last few months of her pregnancy have been hard knowing that her children will grow never knowing their father. As hard as it will be to raise them alone she knows that she can never tell truth now that he has found the happiness has always be looking for. And her father thinks that she is making a mistake to raising the twins on her own. Brenda had been six months along in her pregnancy when her parents had found out about her pregnancy. Her father had been furious and thought that Brenda would making a huge mistake by keep the babies once they are born. He thinks that she should put them up for adoption but Brenda will not given up her children. And while Dylan is no longer a part of her live she knows that she will never regret her decision to keep the babies once they are born. Because they will always be a reminder of the love that she once shared with Dylan and she also knows that she will never stop loving Dylan even if they can never be together.

Brenda's thoughts are interrupted by a knock on her door. When Brenda goes to open the door she is stunned to find the father of her soon to be born twins standing on the other side of the door. Dylan is also stunned to see a very pregnant Brenda. Dylan is bothered by the thought of Brenda being involved with somebody else he has no idea that he is the father of Brenda's twins. For several minutes they just stand there in stunned silence. When Brenda is able speak she wants to know what Dylan is doing there. After Brenda let Dylan in he was even more stunned to find out that she was 9 months pregnant and due anytime and that he was the father. When Dylan wanted to know why Brenda never told him, she told that she didn't want to complicate his life while he was dealing with his problems with drugs and alcohol and then he got married. Brenda was stunned to find out about Toni's death just the day after their wedding. Dylan had barely found out he was going to be a father Brenda went in labor she had been have contractions on and off for the past few days after taken Brenda to the hospital an couple of hours later Brenda gave birth to twin girls Megan Olivia and Miranda Elizabeth.

When Dylan first got to London he had no plans on stay but after finding out he was going to be a father he could not walk away from them or their mother. At first he had been shocked and he had no idea what he was going to do. All of a sudden Dylan whole was turned inside out he had just lost the women he thought that he would be spending the rest of his life with but then all of a sudden she is taken away from him. And when he decide to see an old lover he finds out that he's about to be a father. Dylan never dreamed the he would ever have a family of his own. But after finding out about the twins there was no way he could just walk away. The more time he spent with Brenda and the twin the harder he found it to leave. At first he would just go over to Brenda's to see the girls but gradually he would stay longer and longer he dread going back to an empty and lonely hotel room. He eventually went from his hotel room to sleeping on Brenda's couch. Although he tried to deny it being with Brenda brought back a lot of old feelings. Knowing what he was going thought Brenda never pushed him for any sort of commitment. But eventually Dylan could not deny what he what he felt for Brenda any longer and one night after the twin were asleep Dylan and Brenda had been setting on the couch talking when Dylan had taken Brenda in his arms and kissed her. At first they both had been surprised by the kiss and before they knew it they had wound up in Brenda bed in each others arms. That night changed everything for Dylan because he knew that he could never let Brenda go. And from that night on Dylan spent all his nights in Brenda's arms.

Dylan mind drifts back the present as he finds himself standing outside a jewelry store. While Brenda has never pressured him for a permanent commitment Dylan decides that it time to let go of the past just not Brenda while she may be part of his past she is so much more than that she is his present and future. He doesn't know where he would be now if it had not been Brenda and the twins. As Dylan walks into the jewelry store he decides that it past time that he makes a permanent commitment to the mother of his children especially since he just found out recently that there is going to be an addition to the family in about 6 months.
