Chapter 4: Brenda's Back

He bluntly rested his hand on his twin sister's shoulder as he sat down beside her. Brenda tilted her head towards Brandon and let out a small smile. He, too, warmly smiled back. She rubbed her arms and gazed up at the stars. Her smile made him chuckle.

Brenda sighed, faced Brandon and muttered, "Now this is home."

Brandon chuckled and interlocked his hands saying, "I guess that's why I came back, too. Washington was nice – but it wasn't home."

"I could say the same thing about London," softly laughed Brenda. "You'd figure after fourteen years in London – I would've never seen myself back here sitting with you."

Brenda smiled at Brandon and sipped on her glass of wine.

"You have no idea how great it is to be back in Beverly Hills," breathed Brenda. "You know I've been thinking – we've been through a lot together these past years."

"Ah," spat Brandon sarcastically. "It's been a piece of cake, Bren."

"Maybe for you Mr. Confident," snapped Brenda, keeping her head high, smiling. "Mr. I've Got It Wired."

"C'mon Bren," said Brandon, nudging her. "When we first moved here – I was pretty spooked."

Brenda smiled to the side and said, "That's not what I remember."

Brandon laughed as Brenda recalled their first night in Beverly Hills. Brandon scratched the back of his head and smiled weakly.

"Yes I was always a sage," chirped Brandon, winking at his twin. "Even as a wee young laddy."

"You know what else you are Bran?" added Brenda.

Brandon's mouth opened a little bit and he raised his eyebrows.

"Aha!" laughed Brandon. "If you can't say anything nice – don't say anything at all!"

Brenda looked at him and smiled, "No – seriously Brandon."

"Okay Bren," said Brandon. "What else am I?"

"No matter how far we were from each other, no matter how much we fought, no matter how much we disagreed on things, and no matter what crazy things I've done," began Brenda. "You were always there for me and I'll never forget it."

Brandon fiddled with his fingers and looked at Brenda.

"It's just you and me against the world, Bren," murmured Brenda. "It always has been and it always will be."

Brenda kindly smiled.

"You really are my best friend, Brandon," muttered Brenda nicely.

"Well I hope I always will be," replied Brandon, smiling.

Brandon put his arm around Brenda and embraced her. Brenda leaned in and hugged her twin back.

"Let's go back inside," suggested Brandon. "People will think that I'm stealing you away from them – like Dylan."

Brenda moved away from Brandon.

"It's not like that," answered Brenda defensively.

"Yet," added Brandon. "Just be careful Brenda. You know how you get weak-kneed at the sight of him."

"I know Brandon," said Brenda, getting up. "I'm a big girl. I can handle it."

Dylan coolly leaned against the wall, staring outside the window. He rubbed his chin as he thought about Brenda. He felt someone's presence behind him and he turned around.

"Hi," said Kelly sternly. "Can we talk?"

"I don't see why not," muttered Dylan, staring her down.

Kelly walked over towards him and sighed.

"Feels like old times don't it?" said Kelly softly. "Me and you – fighting."

"Kel," muttered Dylan, taking a deep breath.

"No, Dylan stop," interrupted Kelly. "I just want you to know that I'm sorry. What happened between you and me and that other chick happened a long time ago. I guess I never let it go until now. I'm sorry for holding a grudge against you."

"Me too," replied Dylan. "With you married to Brandon – being pregnant and having a child, I think it's safe to say we can put it behind us now."

"Totally," said Kelly, smiling. "I'll see you later Dylan. Don't be a stranger?"

She reached for his cheek and kissed him. Old feelings began to stir in her system. She backed away and smiled.

"I'll talk to you later," she said. "I'm going to put Tommy to bed."

"I'd be happy to help," offered Dylan. "Besides – I miss that little booger."

Dylan cautiously walked Kelly up the steps with Tommy in his arms. They walked into Tommy's bedroom and placed him on his bed. Kelly stood behind Dylan as she watched him tuck in her son. Kelly happily watched as she saw him kiss her son on his forehead.

"Thanks Dylan," whispered Kelly. "Really means a lot."

"Don't sweat it Kel," replied Dylan.

Brenda, Steve, Brandon, Donna, Andrea and Janet sat around in the living room. They were telling stories of how their lives had been and how shocked they were to see Brenda back.

"You guys have no idea how much I've missed you guys and this house," said Brenda sincerely.

"I think this house just has too much memories built in it," laughed Brandon.

"Like the one today," chirped Donna. "Plus – look at the mess we did."

They all gazed around the dirty room. Christmas wrappings were on the floor and leftovers and silverware were everywhere.

"What a good day huh?" said Steve, his arms around Janet.

"I think we're going to head home," spoke Janet quietly. "Maddie fell asleep and it's late."

"Yeah," said Steve. "She's drooling too."

The room laughed and watched as Maddie drooled on her father.

"Okay," Brandon said. "Thanks for coming."

Brandon hugged Steve and Janet and walked them out the door. Brenda handed Ruby back to Donna.

"She is too cute," whispered Brenda. "Too bad she fell asleep on me. I wanted to play with her."

Donna giggled and caressed her baby.

"Yeah," added Donna. "She's tired – it's been a long day."

"It has been," said Brenda. "For a lot of us."

Donna smiled and muttered, "It was great catching up with you Brenda. I can't remember the last time we talked like this."

"You know my number," added Brenda.

"I'm going to put Ruby back in her crib and I'll be back," whispered Donna, heading up the steps. "Excuse me."

Donna made her way up the stairs and on the second floor. She stopped dead in her tracks as she overhead David and Valerie in their room.

"David this isn't right," argued Valerie. "That kiss was a mistake."

David pulled Valerie by the arm and kissed her again.

"I love you Val," said David. "And I mean it."

"David," muttered Valerie. "This isn't fair for any of us – especially for Donna and Ruby. I think we should head down before people start wondering where we are."

Valerie backed away from him as she wiped her mouth. David pulled her back and pressed his lips on her again.

"What in the world," muttered a perplexed Donna.

Donna, confused, walked in the room. Speechless and filled with mixed emotions – she pulled Valerie by the hair and threw her out the room.

"You're hurting me Donna!" shouted Valerie. "Let go of me!"

"Get out!" shrieked Donna, holding her baby close. "Get out, bitch!"

Donna smacked Valerie across the face and said, "That's for kissing my husband."

This time, Donna punched Valerie straight in the nose and shrieked, "And that's for being a bitch!"

"Donna!" called out David.

Donna turned around and smacked David across his face. She was filled with fury and anger.

"You get out too," she said sternly.

"Donna," muttered David.

"Get out!" shrieked Donna, punching David on his chest. "Get out!"

Kelly and Dylan, stepping out of Tommy's room arrived at the scene.

"You are lucky you have a baby in your arms," scoffed Valerie, ready to attack.

"Take Val out of here Dylan," demanded Kelly. "Go!"

Dylan took Valerie and helped her down stairs. Brenda rushed upstairs to the room where she found Kelly and Donna crying. Brenda stepped in the room and shut the door behind her. Donna fell on the bed, tears flowing down her cheeks. She held Ruby in her arms as she wept. Kelly placed Donna's head on her shoulder as Brenda held Donna's hand.

"It's okay honey," whispered Kelly, comforting Donna.

"You'll get through this," added Brenda.

"No I won't," whimpered Donna. "He kissed her guys – He kissed Val."

Brenda and Kelly exchanged worried looks with each other.

"We're here for you Donna," informed Brenda. "Go ahead, cry. It's okay."

Dylan, Valerie and David were met by Brandon and Andrea who overheard the shouting.

"What the hell happened up there?" asked Brandon, watching Valerie put on her jacket.

"Yeah," added Andrea. "Is everything okay?"

Valerie walked up to David and whipped her hand across his face. She breathed deeply and used her other hand to smack him across his face.

"Valerie," muttered David.

"No – David," demanded Valerie. "Stay away from me. Andrea, do you think you can drive me home? You can spend the night if you want."

"Okay Val," answered Andrea, grabbing her purse. "Thanks for the food Brandon – I'll talk to you when I get back to New York. Bye everyone."

Andrea followed Valerie out the door and out of everyone's sight.

"What the hell did you do David?" asked Dylan.

"I kissed Val!" confessed David. "I kissed her – because I love her."

"David," muttered Dylan.

"Don't give me that look Dylan," David spat. "I'm going out for some fresh air. I'll be back."

David grabbed his coat and slammed the door behind him.

Dylan and Brandon walked towards the kitchen and poured some drinks.

"I guess it's just you and me B," muttered Dylan, raising his glass.

"I guess so," agreed Brandon. "Merry Christmas buddy."

"Merry Christmas Bran," said Dylan.

As soon as Donna fell asleep with Ruby in her arms, Kelly and Brenda stepped out the room.

"Kelly," whispered Brenda.

"Yeah?" replied Kelly.

Brenda walked up to her and gave her a warm hug.

"We never got to properly say hi to each other," muttered Brenda.

"Listen," said Kelly softly. "I was thinking – we should spend some more time with each other. I mean, it's been too long. Last time you saw Tommy was when he was a baby."

"I know," breathed Brenda. "And you know what – I was thinking we've wasted a lot of time over the last couple of years – yeah know?"

Kelly smiled and said, "Yeah I know – so what do you say we stop wasting it and get back to where we were?"

Brenda chuckled and said, "Sounds great – my only question is what are we still doing here whispering to each other?"

"You're right," laughed Kelly. "Let's go downstairs and see what everyone's up to."

"If anyone is still left downstairs," laughed Brenda.

Brenda smiled and happily walked Kelly down the steps and into the kitchen – where they found Brandon and Dylan drinking. Brenda and Kelly exchanged looks and sat across from the boys.

"What is this?" said Kelly. "Late night drinking?"

"It is what it is," muttered Brandon, kissing Kelly on her forehead. "Would you like to have a drink honey?"

"Brandon," said Kelly, staring her husband down.

"Some hot chocolate," laughed Brandon. "What did you think I meant?"

"You are something else," laughed Kelly, smacking Brandon on his chest. "Yes – I would like to have some please."

"Me too Bran," added Brenda.

Brenda and Dylan giggled as they watched Brandon wrap his arms around Kelly. Brandon passed the hot cup of chocolate to Brenda and Kelly. The four friends rested comfortably around each other, recalling memories from the past. Brandon pulled out mistletoe and hung it above him and Kelly.

"Oh Kelly," said Brandon, kissing her neck. "Check it out."

Kelly gazed up and smiled.

"Well aren't you smooth Mr. Brandon Walsh," she said cutely. "Come here."

She leaned in against him and kissed him passionately. Brandon kissed her back and closed his eyes.

"We'll be just leaving," murmured Brenda, getting up. "Don't mind us at all."

"Mhm," said Brandon, waving both Dylan and Brenda away while keeping his lips on her.

"Don't forget to shut the door," added Kelly, still kissing Brandon.

Dylan and Brenda drove into the McKay Ranch and parked the car in front of the house. Dylan walked Brenda inside the house and closed the door behind him. As soon as he turned on the lights, Brenda's jaw dropped at the sight of the place.

"Dylan," she muttered, getting teary-eyed.

The whole house was decorated with vivid colors. Dylan had done it for Brenda. She turned around and hugged Dylan.

"It's beautiful," she breathed. "Did you do this?"

"Yeah," confessed Dylan, following Brenda to the living room.

"Dylan," she muttered. "I've been thinking –"

Dylan pulled Brenda closer to him and placed his lips on hers'. Brenda kissed him back passionately, wrapping her arms around his neck. Dylan lifted her off the ground and moved upstairs to his bedroom. They stripped each others' clothes off and fell on the bed.

"Don't you think we're moving a little too fast?" said Brenda, feeling Dylan's lean lips pressing on her neck.

"Not at all, Bren," muttered Dylan. "I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't love you."

He stopped kissing her and gazed in her sultry eyes. He traced her face with his finger and smiled. Brenda glared at him and smiled.

"I love you too," she confessed, kissing him. "I love you Dylan McKay."

A smile appeared on Dylan's face as he leaned in for a kiss.
