This is it, the last in the long line of my first common law fanfiction. I loved these stories, and who knows, maybe I'll start writing again for the next season (God, and USA network willing) Thank you all for reading this through and through. I'm so in love with all of you. Thank You.

Travis is in italics (T)

Wes is in normal font (W)

When they both speak it's in bold.

Don't Quit On Us

T- Don't quit on us: When you see us fighting, and arguing, and yelling at each other.

W- Don't quit on us: When you see us in a race to be the first one to get the bad guy and rub it into the other one's face.

T- Don't quit on us: When you see us walk out of couple's therapy with scowls and the silent treatment following in our wake.

W- Don't quit on us: When you see a frown, or glare, or hear a scoff, or some sarcasm.

Don't quit on us.

Travis:

People have been quitting on me my whole life:

My birth mother and father

The foster parents that say they 'don't really want to adopt right now'

My foster brother who committed felonies instead of going to someone for help

My last partner who would never believe in me, for me

The captain who sent us to therapy when we became 'too much'

The women who leave after a night at my place, and don't believe that I can be in a committed relationship.

At one point, our therapist that was actually making progress.

They quit on us.

They quit.

And every time we'd fight more, and every time we'd hurt more, and every time we'd give them validation and make them think that they were right about us; that they had a right to quit on us.

But they were wrong.

They were wrong to lose hope, they were wrong to doubt.

The only person who ever believed in us was Pacman, and there was no way in Hell that we were going to let his killers go free.

We wouldn't quit on him.

So don't quit on us.

Don't quit on us.

Wes:

I've never given any one a reason to not want to quit on me.

I keep everyone at arm's length, with their emotions as firmly in check about me as I am about them.

I don't pretend to want to have friends.

I don't pretend to want to go the distance in order to get along with people.

It use to not matter if people would quit on me

I mean I use to freak out about it to my family, but I never see them.

I mean I use to freak out about it to my wife, but then we got divorced.

I mean I got use to freaking out about it to myself, in a dark room, with the door locked, and my emotions firmly in check, with everyone at an arm's length away from me.

They quit on me.

I would quit on myself.

I quit.

And every time I would insist that it didn't matter. And every time I would make sure that no one would see. And every time it hurt more and more to bottle it up.

But I was wrong.

They were wrong.

They were wrong to quit on us.

The only people who ever believed in me were Travis and Pacman.

They killed Pacman.

I almost killed Travis.

Travis almost killed somebody else.

We weren't there to stop them from killing Pac, but we were there to catch the murdering son of bitches for what they killed him for.

And we're not alright.

We still have issues, we still fight, and we still want to punch one another almost every second we spend together, but that doesn't equal quitting.

We didn't quit on the case.

We didn't quit on Pacman.

We didn't quit on each other.

So don't quit on us.

Don't quit on us.

T- Don't quit on us: When you see us in a food fight that started because someone accident spilled something on the other.

W- Don't quit on us: When you see us in the back yard tasering an animal for one of our Exes.

T- Don't quit on us: When you see us try to talk to the Captain while he's doing some new therapy technique on the floor and he wants to join in.

W- Don't quit on us: When you don't see us for a while, because we'll be back.

We'll be back.

Let's make a deal:

We won't quit on ourselves,

or our therapist,

or our captain,

or Alex,

or all of Travis' foster family,

or the police precinct,

or Hudson,

or our group in therapy,

or our old bosses,

or our old partners,

or some new partners,

or you….

And you don't quit on us.

I'm not crying sad right now because it's over, I'm crying happy right now because it happened. Thank You all so much for reading. Please review! And I'll see you for season two of COMMON LAW! Bye! :
