Quickly I wanted to add before you read this chapter. Maddie was born prematurely in November of 1999, at least by the episode date. Her and Olivia would only be 3 months apart. Oops. I know I mentioned in another chapter she was a year younger but hadn't thought much about when Janet became pregnant. She was pretty far along when she told Steve in the beginning of season 10. I'll fix it here, mentioning they are the same age but just wanted to give you guys a heads up on my date mess up. :) Enjoy!

Chapter 6

Reunion

Dylan sips his coffee in the silence of his house. Olivia was at camp and Brenda was at rehearsal. A couple days had past since the Michelle incident and things had flowed back to a comfortable setting there at Casa McKay thankfully. Michelle was the only woman of Dylan's past that knew where he lived. She had been there once and after Dylan had her come back to his place, he knew it was a mistake. So much so he didn't allow her to be there for more than 5 minutes. He hadn't even slept with her there. She didn't belong in that house. At the time he had no idea where that feeling came from, he hadn't ran into Brenda yet. Now it was becoming obvious the only woman he wanted in his home like that was Brenda. This was her house, he thought of her when buying it. No one else belonged there. When Dylan christens his bed, shower or bath tub…he wants Brenda to be the only women that has ever been there. It was stupid really but this was his private sanctuary, he never wanted it to be tainted by meaningless faces.

He answered his cell at that moment on the 2nd ring seeing it was Kelly. He had been MIA for their weekly coffee date and had barely talked to her since Brenda and Olivia came into his life.

"Hey Kel." he answered nicely.

"Hey stranger, how's it going?"

"It's going well. Except fucking Michelle came by groping my dick the first night Brenda was here."

"Oh my god…how did she even know where you live?" Kelly was shocked, she was well aware Dylan never took women back to that house.

He groaned, "She has been here once. For like 5 minutes and she decides to waltz in here looking to hook up. It was so embarrassing. Brenda thinks I'm a man whore."

Kelly giggles, "She knows you're a man whore Dylan." she jokes.

He exhales and sits quiet.

"Dylan…I'm kidding. Come on Brenda isn't unreasonable, I'm sure she knows you had relations with other people in 5 years. I mean her herself has probably a few notches on her bed post too by now."

Dylan flinches at the comment, "Oh my god stop…she's a mother, I doubt she was sleeping around."

Kelly chuckles entertained by his tone, "Probably not but…I'm sure she wasn't celibate."

"Like you…you mean." Dylan joked playfully.

"Oh please…you know that's not true. But other than that having Olivia there? Is it amazing?" Kelly changes the subject. She didn't want to talk about the fact she hadn't had a real meaningful relationship in years. She didn't even count the month with Dylan special because he wasn't into it at all.

"She is something Kelly. I can't explain it. She is so much like Bren…it's hysterical. I could watch her all day."

Kelly smiled, "I knew you'd be like this. I seriously can't wait to meet her. You guys are still coming to Steve's later right? I'm gonna get Olivia something. Make her try to feel comfortable around all of us. What is she into?"

Dylan thought about it, "She loves books and clothes. She has a lot of princess stuff, lots of pink and purple. She is truly a girl." he laughs, "There isn't one bone in her body that's tom boy."

Kelly giggles and then silence fills the phone line. "I'm nervous to see Bren." she admits.

"Why? She knows we're close, she doesn't have a problem with you…with anyone in the gang. I think she is looking forward to tonight. Seeing everyone again."

"I know…I just…I feel like after Brandon and I spilt up. Then you coming back here. I just feel like I should have tried harder. Kept in touch. I shouldn't have let my break up with Brandon dictate our friendship. I mean here she is back, living in LA and I wasn't one of the people she let know. She has a daughter, a little girl none of us know. I guess when I was going to marry Brandon. I just always felt like Brenda would be like a sister to me. We would see each other at family holidays and if we both had children that they would grow up together."

"It's not too late Kel…I mean I know that better than anyone at the moment. I missed Brenda being pregnant and Olivia being a baby but when I'm with her, it's like all that doesn't matter. I'm learning it's never too late to make things right."

Kelly laughs, "She has you wrapped around her finger already."

Dylan chuckles, "She does. What time should we head over later?"

"Steve said 5."

"Alright thats perfect. Brenda said something about making an appetizer to bring, plus we invited Brenda's assistant too, Claire, she is sweet. I hope Steve doesn't mind. Bren and I thought she would enjoy meeting more people. She is new to this city and only knows a few people."

"I'm sure Steve wouldn't mind, the more the merrier. Donna is bringing something too, tell Bren whatever she decides to bring will be good."

"I will. See you later Kelly…thanks for checking in."

"No problem…you know…you sound happier than I think I have ever heard you since moving back here. I know things with Olivia are going well…what about with Brenda? Have you told her how you feel?"

Dylan took a deep breath, "The night that Michelle showed up, I came clean about the women. I also told her how I felt about her, how I always felt about her. She just wants friendship from me and I have to respect that."

"I'm sorry." Kelly said sincerely.

"It is what it is…but me and Brenda…have always been good friends."

Kelly laughed, "Yeah right…Dylan I love you…you know that but…you and Brenda have never been just friends."

Dylan chuckles, "I guess you're right."

"I'll see you later." Kelly says lightly.

"Later Kel." Dylan hangs up. He takes a deep breath, sipping his coffee again. He promised he would be just a friend. It seemed to be a lot easier for Brenda to keep things that way with him.

Dylan carried Olivia as Brenda held on to her hors d'oeuvre. She made these heavenly little bruschetta bites that simply melted in your mouth filled with garlic, tomatoes and capers. She learned the recipe from a friend in Italy, and it was always a hit. She wore casual attire in tight blue jeans and a cute off the shoulder peasant top and wedges. Her ran her hand quickly over her hair nervously.

"You look great…you know that right?" Dylan eyed her seeing her fidget.

"Mommy changed more times then if she is going to see you." Olivia said out loud. Brenda closed her eyes, her face blushing furiously.

Dylan smiled widely, "Oh really." he looked at Olivia silently thanking her for that information. Brenda smirked and shook her head.

"Well you tell mommy, she always looks beautiful to me." he leans in whispering to Olivia but made no real attempt to keep it from Brenda. Olivia giggles finding the exchange funny.

"I think mommy has a crush on you." she says unapologetic.

"Okay okay…ring the door bell already." Brenda says embarrassed.

Dylan can't help the smile he has as he rings the doorbell to Casa Walsh. "I have more than a crush on your mom sweetie." he says just as openly. Olivia giggles again, not understanding the seriousness in those words.

Brenda rolls her eyes with a smile.

Steve opens the front door with a smile. He is holding Maddie, a gorgeous little girl, wearing a white sundress and sandals. Her hair is dark brown, she is a perfect combination of Steve and Janet's nationalities and she smiles shyly seeing Olivia.

"Oh my…look at her." Brenda grins. "Oh Steve." she breaths out. They embrace tightly one armed. "I've missed you." Brenda breathes.

"Let me look at you." Steve leans out, "You look amazing Bren…I've missed you too."

Brenda smiles at Maddie, "Hey there sweetie…I'm Brenda…and this is Olivia. Olivia say hi to Maddie and one of mommy's oldest friends Steve."

The little girls smile at each other. "Oh my god guys…Brenda….Dylan she's beautiful." Steve smiles looking at the little girl.

"Thanks." Brenda and Dylan say at the same time. Dylan sets Olivia down as Steve sets down Maddie. They watch their exchange with a smile.

"Hi. How old are you?" Olivia asks with a smile.

"Free." she answers and smiles back.

"Me too!" Olivia gleams. "But my birfday is soon. Want to come to my party?"

Maddie jumps up and down, "Yes!"

Dylan, Steve and Brenda look at each other and laugh, "Looks like their best friends already." Steve chuckles. "Come on in…the gang is out back." They usher through the foyer and Steve looks at Brenda again. He goes in again giving her a real hug this time. "God its been way too long Bren…how's Brandon? Jim and Cindy? I've being trying to get a hold of Bran for weeks, seems we always miss each other." Steve eyes are kind and comforting.

Brenda nods, "They're good…everyone is well." Brenda looks around at her old house. "Man…this place doesn't change much. I really like what you've done with it."

Steve looks around, "Yeah…we tried to update it here and there but…its a great house. We've been really happy here. Come on…everyone is dying to see you."

The two girls run along first with giggles, They are really hitting it off. Brenda feels her nerves calm a little as she feels Dylan's hand on the small of her back. They follow Steve out into the yard.

Kelly and Donna eye Olivia and Maddie as they run by. Maddie on a mission to show her her swing set. Kelly and Donna look at each other and smile. Dylan leads Brenda over to them, and David leaves the grill for a second.

"Brenda!" Donna sequels and envelopes her tightly in a hug, "I can't believe your here. You look great…its like you haven't aged at all." She leans out with a smile.

"Oh please." Brenda chuckles not feeling that way. "Hey kelly." she looks at her and give her a genuine smile.

Kelly shakes her head, tears fill her eyes, "Bren." she whispers. They hug for a long time. "God I'm glad your back." Kelly whispers.

Brenda finds herself teary too. These two women were her best friends in the whole world. It was overwhelming seeing them again.

"Olivia." Dylan calls out. "Come meet some friends." Olivia smiles widely and jumps off of the swing. She runs to Dylan as he scoops her up. "This is Donna…and Kelly…this ladies is Olivia."

Kelly's fingers lay over her mouth. She looks just like Brenda…but Dylan was right…she has his eyes. Olivia hold out her hand making Donna laugh a little.

"Hi there Olivia. You are so pretty." she says kindly. Donna wipes the tear from her eye quickly and shakes her little hand.

She eyes kelly and smiles, "Hi Kelly."

Kelly turns into a pile a mush. "Hi Olivia…I love your dress."

"Thank you! My daddy bought it for me." Kelly smiles at Dylan. He smirks shyly and shrugs.

"Daddy…mommy…can I go play?" Olivia is done meeting people.

"Sure honey…be careful." he sets her down and she runs back to Maddie.

Brenda greets David with a hug, not believing how mature he looks. David might have been the baby face of the group back in the day but he was grown now. He was incredibly good looking.

"You want something to drink Bren?" Dylan asks nicely.

Kelly and Donna hold up their margarita glasses, "Steve's mucho marvelous mango margaritas." Kelly say with a laugh.

Brenda joins in, "He's still making those? God seems like another life ago."

"Does Steve still make them?" Donna jokes. "Don't let the fatherly exterior fool you…he's still Steve."

Kelly and Brenda laugh. "It's actually more reassuring than you'd think." Brenda jokes. The feeling of home overwhelms her. She sadly is mad at herself for not keeping in better touch with them. "I'll have one of those." Brenda points to their glasses.

"K." he gently kisses her on her cheek and walks towards the bar and where the guys are. Brenda watches him greet the guys with their trademark handshake and she instantly misses her brother. Her attention goes back to the girls. They are watching her watch Dylan. Knowing smiles on their faces.

"Let's sit." Donna breaks the awkward, "I feel like there are so many things to catch up on."

Brenda nods and takes a seat at the patio set that is front of her. Soon Dylan sets a margarita in front of her. She watches Dylan run over to Olivia. He gently pushes her on the swing. The girls, Steve and David watch him. Smiles on their faces.

"Awe. Dylan looks so happy Bren. He's good with her?" Donna asks sweetly. Her attention turning back to Brenda.

Brenda nods, "Yeah…they are quite the pair. Sometimes I think she might like him better than me. Figures huh…I carry her for 9 months and give birth to her, but she is proving to be a daddy's girl. I guess I can relate. At least until I started dating." Brenda joked, she was a daddy's girl, even after the drama with Dylan and her father. Still kind of is. She always cared entirely too much about his opinion.

"She is absolutely adorable Bren. Being a mom suits you." Kelly smiles at her before taking a sip.

"Thanks Kel…it's pretty amazing. What about you two? You want kids?" she takes a sip as well enjoying the female conversation, "Congratulations on you and David's wedding Donna. It must have been amazingly romantic, with your guys past. Like a fairytale. Sorry I didn't come, I had a 9 month old as you can see."

Donna nods understanding, "I know now. It would have been amazing having you there but I get it. Traveling internationally would have been hard with an infant."

Brenda nods, "Yeah…plus…that would have been drama…I show up with a baby…Dylan would have shit his pants, talk about a wedding crasher." Brenda laughs.

The girls join in, but stay quiet. Silence fills their pow wow. "I know what you guys must think of me." Brenda looks down, "Not telling Dylan."

"We don't think anything bad about you Bren." Donna says honestly. "You had your reasons, I would never judge you. I'm just glad we get to see you…meet her. It's hard to imagine you being a mom and us not being a part of your life." Donna says sadly.

"Besides…Gina is a god damn bitch and next time I see her, I'm going to tell her off. It really is her fault." Kelly chimes in.

"Hey…Kel…be nice huh…she is my sister. I know she has issues but we don't know the full story."

"Gina…is your sister?" Brenda's eyes widened. Kelly and Donna laugh.

"Oh Bren…you have no idea."

Donna continues to fill her in about Gina and her father, aunt and mother. Janet joins the girls introducing herself and instantly clicks with Brenda. Dylan looks at the girls catching up. They seem to be moving towards how they always were. Janet a welcomed addition.

"How are things coming along with Brenda? She all moved in?" David asks before sipping his beer.

He only shrugs. "Yeah she is all moved in."

"God Dylan…look at those two." Steve watches Maddie and Olivia run around having a blast. "When's her birthday?"

"August 16th." David and Steve look at him.

"That's next weekend. Man…that's crazy they are only a few months apart. I see plenty of play dates in our future. Man we can have park days…or take the girls to the beach…"

Dylan laughs at his enthusiasm. Steve has been the only father in the group for a while. Its obvious he is excited he has someone else that can join him.

"Well…now Im left out." jokes David.

"Well get on that brother…you and Donna have been married for 3 years. What are you waiting for? Were not getting any younger."

David blushes, "We've talked about it. It's pretty fun trying." Steve high fives David.

Dylan looks down sadly. "You and Janet every talk about having another one?" he asks curiously.

Steve nods, "Yeah…Maddie was such a pleasant surprise that we moved towards parenthood so quickly. But now that Maddie is out of diapers and starting preschool in the fall…we've talked about it. We aren't trying but we aren't being careful either so we'll see."

Dylan looks at Brenda. He wonders if Brenda has ever thought about more kids.

David and Steve look at each other. "You never answered the question how things are going with Brenda?"

Dylan shrugs, "She knows how I feel about her. She wants to be friends…so I guess we'll see."

"Sorry man…we both know how you feel about her, and having a kid together. I can only assume from experience, the feelings only grew stronger." Steve says as he rest his hand on his shoulder.

"You and David going to have kids?" Brenda smiles at Donna.

She blushes, "We're trying…it will happen when its suppose to." Brenda looks at Kelly.

Janet gets up, "I'm going to refill the dip, you girls want a refill?" she eyes their empty glasses.

"Yeah sure." they all agree.

"Here Janet…let me help you." Donna gets up and follows Janet into the house.

"What about you Kel? Are you seeing anyone?"

Kelly breathes out, "Ugh…dating is awful." she laughs and Brenda joins in.

"I know." she agrees.

"I was seeing someone but he wasn't the one I guess." Kelly shrugs sadly. She leans in, "I haven't had a serious boyfriend since Matt and that was over 5 years ago." she admits.

Brenda nods, "You went out with Dylan." she regrets the words as soon as they leave her mouth, "I'm sorry Kelly…I don't know why I brought that up."

kelly laughs, "Its okay. Uh Brenda…me and Dylan were not serious. That lasted all of a month and it was awful."

"What happened?" Okay fine so Brenda was trying to get her side of the story, sue her.

Kelly laughs again, "Dylan was lonely and lost. I guess so was I…did he tell you why we broke it off?" Kelly asks curiously.

Brenda shrugs, "Just that your hearts weren't into it and you were better as friends."

Kelly nods, "Well that's true but he left out a huge reason."

"Whats that?" Brenda eyed her, guilty she was even interested in hearing it.

Kelly got up and moved next her, she spoke quietly, "Brenda…he was…is still…in love with you, that was one of the only times he opened up to me about you. I didn't even have the right hair color." Kelly laughs lightly.

Brenda looked at her oddly, "What do you mean?"

Kelly looked at her, "Dylan is one of my best friends. For being a man of mystery, he can also be transparent. Every girl he saw…was brunette…petite…and resembled you to some extent. He didn't even keep them around long enough for us to meet them." Kelly smirked. "Except Michelle…and she was a total slut and dumb as hell." Kelly dips her carrot into the ranch taking a bite.

"Michelle? Fuck that was the girl from the other night? Was it serious?" Brenda isn't even a little ashamed getting the goods.

Kelly laughed out loud, "God no…he told me about that by the way. I was surprised she even knew where he lived."

"What do you mean?"

"To my knowledge, Dylan as never brought a girl to his house. That's his private sanctuary. He said he made the mistake of bringing her there once and they were only there a few minutes. Did you happen to see what she looked like?" Kelly smirks at her.

Brenda shakes her head, "She was too busy sticking her tongue down his throat and rubbing his dick."

Kelly made a face, "Ew…she's trash." Kelly took a deep breath, she looked towards the guys who were laughing and chatting. She looks back from Dylan, "The girl…Michelle…looks like you. I mean…not exactly but there was a freaky resemblance, so much so we all did a double take. She was the only one he kept in contact with, he used to bring her around every once in a while until Steve said something about her looking like Brenda's stunt double." Kelly laughed, "He stopped bringing her around after that."

Brenda looked at Dylan, his eyes met hers. He smirked a sexy smile at her. She smiled back. "Anyway…do you like the house? It's beautiful isn't it?"

Kelly changes the subject not purposely.

"God yeah…it's incredible."

"He bought it for you, you know? He never said it out loud but…he bought that house with you on his mind. He loves you Brenda. I hope someday you'll let him prove it to you."

Brenda looks away from Dylan's intense flirty stare and looks at her. Donna and Janet come over at that moment luckily and sets down the refilled margaritas and a tray of dip and chips.

"So…Bren…how's Brandon?" Kelly looks at her with a smirk as she sips her drink.

Brenda shakes her head and laughs out loud. Everything has changed so much…but then again, nothing has changed at all.

Claire finally makes an appearance and meets the group. They all hit to off well but she doesn't stay long, claiming she still had a paper to finish for an early class the following day. Soon as the night is winding down the gang is sitting around the old Walsh living room catching up. Maddie and Olivia had fallen asleep on the floor as they had put a movie on for them.

Donna hiccups and giggles. "Oh great…my wife…the light weight. Come on babe…let me get you home." David helps her up.

"I'm not light weight." Donna is slurring and the group laughs at her.

Brenda gets up, they hug, Brenda feeling pretty good too. She was happy Dylan had drove and doesn't drink because she was definitely too drunk to drive home. Not as obvious as Donna…but still warm and tingly. "You call me Brenda…we'll have a girls night. Soon…like tomorrow night." she leans away from her and smiles.

"Yeah! No boys allowed." Kelly announces agreeing its a great idea. "Invite Claire too."

Brenda nods, "Okay." She looks at Steve, Dylan then Janet and smiles, "The boys can have a play date." Janet smiles happily thinking that sounds awesome.

David and Donna leave and soon Dylan and Brenda after saying their thank you's and good byes are walking to Dylan's car. He opens up the back door, holding a sleeping Olivia setting her into the booster seat, strapping her in gently.

Brenda rests her head on the window and sighs happily. Dylan climbs into the drivers seat and looks over at her, "You have fun?"

Brenda looks at him, a smirk on her face, she nods, "So much fun." her buzz washing over her quickly. Dylan starts the car and heads home.

They tuck Olivia in kissing her without waking her and close the door to her bedroom.

Brenda stands in the hallway, looking at Dylan hungrily. "You okay?" he tilts his head noticing the glassy looks to her eyes.

"mmm hmm." she walks a step closer to him. Her chest against his. Dylan takes slow breaths, reacting to her closeness. Brenda looks into his eyes. The look of lust staring back at her. Dylan swallows hard. She reaches up and plays with the collar of his shirt. Her index finger caresses his his neck and chest. He closes his eyes feeling the electricity sparking between them. She stands on her tip toes, pressing her lips against his neck. She rubs them sensually up to his ear. Her hot breath breathes into it. Dylan's breathes out, eyes still closed, taking in her in. God he missed this.

"Bren." he whispers. "What are you doing to me?" he knows once this starts, its going to be hard to stop.

She brings her face to his. Their lips practically touching. Her fingers cares his cheek slowly. "I want you." she breathes into his mouth and the smell of rum and sweet mangos comes off thick from her breath. He pushes her back subtly, "Are you drunk?" he says with a smirk.

She lowers so she isn't on her toes anymore and shakes her head, "No."

Dylan looks a her, "Liar." he calls her out.

She giggles, "Maybe a little, I'm tired of holding back. I want you so bad…you can have the real thing, not a replacement." Dylan stares into her eyes. He doesn't want her to regret this but being with her again is almost too good to pass up. She seems ok, overly friendly but her eyes are clear. Fine a little glassy but not completely wasted. She reaches on her tip toes again and opens her lips around his and holds it. Dylan opens his mouth keeping it slow as he groans out into her mouth. His arms tighten around her, her hands find his hair. She grips it roughly and Dylan groans turned on. They are kissing frantically and groping. Dylan lifts Brenda off the ground with ease and carries her to her bedroom, its closer. He lays her on her bed, on top of her comforter and settles in between her legs on top of her. Their kisses are hungry and urgent. Clothes are flying across the room as they cling to each other. Their lips always attached to some part of each other.

"Dylan." Brenda moans as he kisses her neck. She gets aggressive and pushes him as his back hits the bed. She straddles him quickly. Leaning down and taking his lips to hers. Their tongues fight for dominance. Dylan squeezes her back side, Brenda moans out loudly. They are grinding against each other and the only thing separating them is undergarments. Dylan slows down…wanting to savor her. His hand comes to her face caressing it softly. His hand runs to the back of her neck, bringing her closer to him as they kiss gently. She sits up and Dylan sits up with her, straddling his lap.

"God…I've dreamed of this." he kisses her softly. "It wasn't even close to the real thing."

Brenda smiles, "Me too." she whispers.

Dylan takes his lips to hers again, flipping her so she is on her back again. His mouth closes around her bare nipple. As he sucks it into his mouth hard.

"Dylan?" her voice different. "Wait…Dylan." she breathes out. "I'm going to be sick." Dylan looks at her the coloring from her face go white. She pushes him away quickly and and jumps off the bed topless in her underwear as she drops to her knees, vomiting loudly into her toilet.

Dylan gets up concerned, he glances down at his full erection and shakes his head. The universe hates him. He moves toward Brenda, kneeling next to her, gathering her hair into a messy ponytail as she throws up again.

"I'm so sorry Dylan." she whispers, resting her face on the toilet.

"I'm going to murder Steve." says seriously, he knows how those margaritas sneak up on you. They are slow like a rattle snake, then they strike.

Brenda looks up at him, her eyes teary from throwing up. "This is so embarrassing."

Dylan smiles a sad smile at her letting go of her hair. "You're so god damn cute…even with vomit in your hair."

Brenda makes a face, reaching up taking a piece of hair between her fingers, "Ew."

Dylan chuckles, "I'll start the shower."

"No bath." she argues.

Dylan reaches in turning on the shower, "No…it will relax you too much…I don't want you drowning on me." he jokes and Brenda laughs.

"True." she laughs knowing he's probably right. She gets up and stands in front of him.

"Want to join me?" she raises her eyebrow at him.

He smirks and shakes his head. "Probably not a good idea."

She pouts, "Fine." She slides down her panties to the floor and steps out of them. Dylan's eyes run down her naked body, he breathes out. He notices her stripes of mother hood. Barely noticeable but he sees them. He wants her so bad, he wants to run his fingers across them, kiss them. She is the most beautiful woman in the world to him but that…makes it hard to not join her.

"Are you doing this on purpose?" he shakes his head and smirks. She smiles at him, opening the glass door and stepping in.

"I don't know what your talking about." She shrieks."Fuck…it's cold"

Dylan chuckles, "I know it will sober you up."

"Fuck that." she turns the nob a little and sighs happily as the water heats up.

"I'll be in the room if you need me." he watches her for a little while as she washes her hair but feels creepy standing there. He walks out and sits on her bed. He breathes out. What now? Will they continue where they left off? Say goodnight and return to their own bedrooms for the night. This was so much more complicated than it should be. Dylan watches her dry off and brush her teeth, thankfully if taking over where they left off is on the table. She enters her bedroom taking out a pair of underwear pulling them on. Dylan is disappointed. Then she reaches in another drawer taking out a t-shirt. She pulls is on and Dylan smiles widely seeing what it is.

"West Beverly Wildcats." he says with a smirk, "I can't believe you still have that." it was Dylan's old gym shirt. He barely ever wore it. He usually charmed his way out of gym on the regular. He looks down shyly remembering why she had it in the first place.

Junior year, Brenda and Dylan had JUST gotten back together from the Emily fiasco and after a week of blue balls and apologies, Brenda finally let Dylan back in where they had left off. He was so turned on and excited he ripped every button on Brenda's blouse. She ended up having to go home in his shirt in hopes her parents wouldn't notice her change of attire.

Brenda smiled and winked. "That was fun." she walked over to him. Siting next to him. "You know." she looked down, "This is the second time this almost happened." she looks at him.

Dylan tongue hits his cheek and he nods, "Yeah. I know."

"Maybe the universe is trying to tell us something." she rings her hands together nervously and looks down at them.

"The only thing the universe was trying to tell me this time Brenda was that you were drunker than you led on." he smirked at her.

She chuckled, "I'm sorry…I felt ok…good even…just snuck up on me. Once you flipped me on my back. The room started spinning, and it was just getting good too."

Dylan laughed and shook his head. He exhaled, "I'm gonna kill Steve."

"It's not his fault…I had fun tonight. I forgot how strong those suckers were though."

They both laughed. Silence fills the room. Brenda finally speaks out, "I know its not the same…but…you want to stay? Sleep in here…with me?" her eyes look into his and he stares back.

"I'd like that." she smiles at him with a nod and climbs into bed. Brenda leans over shutting off her light as Dylan climbs in the opposite side. Brenda cuddles into his side conformably and closes her eyes.

Dylan wraps his arm around her kissing her head gently.

"Maybe next time…we'll actually get to go through with it." he whispers hopeful.

"Maybe." she replies simply and Dylan smiles. It isn't a no.

"Good night Bren." he whispers.

"Night."

It only takes a minute before both of them are sleeping soundly. The feeling of peace, comfort and love overwhelming their dreams. This was how it was suppose to be…this was the reason he bought this house.

Okay so…these two…it's only a matter of time. Next up, awkward wake ups, kids say the darnest things, girls night out, pissed off Dylan. I know I know…sounds good huh. Hit review! wink wink.
