Okay, I'll give you a little glimpse into B/D….
Brandon's condo…
"Dylan, what do you mean Sammy might not be yours?"
"I don't know Bren," Dylan said with tears in his eyes. "Kelly and I weren't together at the time Sammy was conceived. We hooked up one weekend when I was in town and then 8 weeks later I get a call with the news that she's pregnant. She told me it was my child. I never doubted her."
"Wow. Dylan, I'm sorry," Brenda said, rubbing his arm. "So what has changed that makes you doubt Sammy's paternity?" Brenda thought to herself. Kelly's never mentioned anything about this to me. I thought we were really close again.
"I don't doubt that I'm Sammy's father. You know him. Sammy is just like me."
Brenda looked at Dylan and smiled. "Yeah, he is."
"Kelly already has sole custody of Sammy. I want more visitations with him, but Kelly is afraid of Sammy traveling with me out of the country. So she's fighting it. She says it was her lawyer's idea to do the paternity test."
"Do you believe her?"
"I don't know what to believe anymore."
"Dylan, I'm sorry," Brenda tells him, as she puts her hand behind his head and draws him closer to her. The two embrace and Dylan brings Brenda even closer to him, letting the scent of her hair and skin overcome him. And then the phone rings.
Brenda lets go of her grasp on Dylan first and reaches for the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey Brenda, it's mom. Your father and I just had lunch. I think we are going to walk around the city for a while. Have you heard from your brother?"
"Not for awhile. Kelly and Sammy were sticking around to entertain him. I'm sure he's fine. We'll check on him later."
"Ok sweetie. I'll talk to you later."
"Bye mom," and Brenda hung up the phone. The phone rang immediately again and Brenda answered without checking the caller id.
"Yes mom?"
"Brenda, it's Brandon. Have you seen Kelly?"
Brenda looked at Dylan, who was wiping his eyes. "No I thought she was with you. Everything okay?"
"Just have her call me if you see her okay?"
"Sure. You need anything?" Brenda asked.
"No thanks. Just have Kelly call me."
Brenda said goodbye and hung up the phone. "Everything okay?" Dylan asked.
"I don't know. Brandon seemed pretty insistent that Kelly call him," Brenda replied. I thought she would be spending the day with Brandon, seeing that she was starting to have feelings for him again and it looked like Susan would be away all day. I wonder what happened.
Like clockwork, Brenda heard the front door unlock and Sammy came running into the living room with Kelly close behind. She doesn't look too good, Brenda thought to herself, seeing that Kelly's eyes were red and tear-streaked.
"You okay Kel?" Brenda asked.
"Yeah, I think I'm going to go lay down for a little while. Do you guys mind watching Sam for me?"
Dylan saw this as a good time to spend some quality time with his son. "Why don't Sam and I go to the park? How 'bout it buddy?"
"Can I mommy? Please?" Sammy looked up at his mom with those intense blue eyes, just pleading with her.
"How can I say no to that?" she replied. "Go have fun."
Dylan and Sammy ran out the front door as Kelly headed to the bedroom. She wanted to be alone, but she knew she wouldn't get off that easily. Sure enough, Brenda followed Kelly into the room. Kelly lay down on the bed and faced away from Brenda, who remained sitting.
Brenda gave Kelly a couple minutes, but started asking questions when she heard start sniffling and wiping her eyes. "What happened Kel?"
"Nothing Brenda, I'm fine. "
"I know something's wrong. Brandon called a few minutes ago and was asking for you. He wants you to call."
"I can't talk to him right now, Brenda."
Brenda grabbed Kelly's arm and pulled, forcing Kelly to roll over and look at her. Kelly looked Brenda in the eyes. "Brenda I love him."
Brenda gulped. "Kelly what did he say?"
"He said he missed me and didn't want me to go."
"So what's the problem?"
"The problem is Susan. The problem is Sammy….and Dylan. The problem is we live thousands of miles away from each other. I can't go back there Brenda. I can't be hurt again."
"Kelly, Brandon has really strong feelings for you. He always has."
"But Brandon is with Susan."
"But Kelly, he loves you."
Kelly looked away. Brenda didn't want to bring up the subject, but she did anyways. "Kelly, Dylan told me about the paternity test."
Kelly remained looking away from Brenda and didn't say anything. "Kelly, do you think someone other than Dylan is the father?"
Kelly waited a few moments before responding. "I don't know Bren. It's possible."
Brenda didn't urge Kelly on, as Kelly seemed pretty upset. The phone rang again. Brenda looked at the caller id and saw that it was Brandon's cell calling again. "Kelly, it's my brother. Will you talk to him?"
"I don't know if I can Bren."
Brenda answered the phone. "Hey Bran. Yeah she's here. She's not ready to talk quite yet." Brenda waited for Brandon's response.
"Kel?"
Kelly reached for the phone and Brenda handed it to her, getting off the bed and walking out of the room. "Hello?" Kelly answered.
"Kel, it's me. You okay?"
"I don't know Brandon."
"Kelly, I need you. I want you. I'm sorry about what happened."
"Brandon, please don't say that."
"I'm breaking it off with Susan."
Kelly wiped the tears from her eyes. "She's not going to give up on you so easily."
"Well I'm not going to give up on you."
"I have to go Brandon."
"Will you come by later to see me?"
"I'll try."
"I need you. Please, Kel." And with that, she hangs up the phone, laying her head on the pillow.
