"You saw us?", he asked.

She nodded.

"I would never want to come between you and your baby, or anything possibly happening between you and Liv. You most of all deserve a family.", she said.

"And what if I don't want Liv? Would it complicate things between you and I if the baby is mine?", he asked.

"Of course not. You accept me with my kids, I could do the same for you. I just think you should try with Liv first, you never know", Brie said, it hurt to say that, but she had to say it.

He nodded.

"Then it's a good thing the baby isn't mine", he said.

She looked over at him.

"How do you know that?", she asked.

"Because I haven't seen Liv for a few years. Unless she saved my sperm in her freezer, I can't figure out how that kid could be mine", he chuckled.

She smiled and nodded.

"But, he is Seth's baby", he finished.

"What?", she asked.

He nodded.

"Apparently while he was doing his little tours, they met up. Traveled together for a bit before she disappeared on him", he said.

"Well, at least we can't blame him for abandoning his child again. He really didn't know this time", Brie said.

Dean chuckled.

"I know he'll step up, you know, if little Max is his son. Kid looks just like Noah when he was a baby", Dean said.

"Didn't get a good look at him", Brie replied.

Dean cleared his throat.

"So um, if I can ask, how did you feel when you saw me with Liv and Max?", he asked.

She noticed he blushed.

"I would be lying if I said I didn't get jealous", she replied.

Dean could feel his excitement getting the better of him. He reached over and took her hand, kissing her knuckles.

She blushed.


Before Seth left, Roman caught up to him by his car.

"Listen, don't tell Noah about the baby till we know for sure. I don't want him getting excited and then taking it from him", Roman said.

Seth nodded.

"I completely agree.", he replied.

Roman nodded.

"Also, I have this work thing, golf. One of my bosses said I could invite my friends. How about it? Get your mind off things for now", Roman said.

"I'm not good", Seth chuckled.

"Bro, neither am I, but I mostly want to go because there will be clients there.", Roman said.

"You should have started with that, of course I will go. Totally talk you up to them. I still owe you for what you did for me", Seth said.

"Thanks", Roman replied.

He waved to Seth as his friend drove away. Getting back inside the house, Noah was playing video games with Luis. Leah was on the floor playing with her dolls that Brie had dropped off for her.

"Kids eat yet?", he asked, kissing Diana's cheek.

She nodded and served him.

"So, is Liv's baby Seth's?", she asked.

"Um, could be. He said the baby looks a lot like Noah when he was small.", Roman said.

Diana nodded.

"Why? Jealous?", Roman asked.

She rolled her eyes and he laughed.

"It just worries me for him. We don't know what could trigger him, you know.", she said.

He nodded.

"And I don't want to speak ill of Liv, but what if she's into drugs and drinking. She's been gone a few years. People change", Diana explained her worry.

"I can talk to Dean, he spoke to Liv more than we did. If anyone can get a sense of it, he would", he said.

"Please", she said.

He leaned over and kissed her.


Dean sat across from Brie as they figured out what to order. The waiter poured them each a glass of wine and then asked for their order. Brie took a small sip before looking at him.

"You look handsome", she said.

He blushed and chuckled.

"Not much, I mean, I wear something similar every day", he replied.

"And you look handsome all those other days too", she added.

She reached across the table and he realized what she was doing, so he stretched his hands out too. Taking her fingers with his.

"So, I think we should talk about a few things if we plan to move forward together", she said.

"Like?", he raised a brow.

"Do you want kids, Dean?", she asked.

"Of course, I would never ask you to give up your kids for me", Dean said quickly.

She laughed softly.

"No, I meant of your own. I know you love my kids, but is that enough for you?", she asked.

"What's the right answer here B? If I say the wrong thing, this ends and, I don't want to lose you", he said.

She shook her head no.

"There is no wrong answer. I just want you to be honest, tell me your truths.", she said.

He met her eyes.

"I would like kids of my own. Seeing how happy my friends are with theirs, I don't want to miss out on it", he said.

She nodded.

"And what if I said I don't want to have anymore kids?", she asked.

He swallowed.

"Truth, Dean", she added.

"It would hurt, you know to know I won't have any flesh and blood of my own, but that doesn't mean I would give you up. I would accept it. I will continue to love Leah and Luis as my own. They would be enough", Dean said.

She smiled.

"I want more kids", she said.

He sighed.

"You do?", he asked.

She nodded.

"And even if I didn't, hearing you wanting kids would have probably changed my mind some time in the future.", she said.

He nodded.

"You see kids with me?", he asked.

She bit her lip and shrugged softly.

"Maybe", she replied.

"What about marriage?", he asked.

"I could see that happening for me again. I mean, it worked out well the first time", she said.

He took a sip of his wine.

"Good to know", he replied.

"And you?", she asked.

"Truth?", he asked.

She nodded.

"Didn't see it working out for me that much, mostly because the only example I had was fucked up. My parents weren't all loved up the way most couples should be", he said.

"What changed your mind?", she asked.

"Seeing Diana's parents, Roman's family. Then the way Roman and Diana handled it, you and Vic.", he replied.

"Not every marriage turns out the way your parents did. If you're with the right person, then it will work out", she said.

He nodded.

"You are my person.", he said softy.

She smiled and stood, walking around the small table and cupping his face. Kissing him slowly.

"B", he whispered against her lips.

"Yeah?", she asked.

"Don't go out with Shane anymore. Be with me, all mine. I thought I could share, but I'm a selfish fucker who doesn't want too.", he said.

She giggled and rested her forehead against his, sitting on his lap. Not caring who was watching them.

"If I knew you wouldn't say no, I would propose right now. Make you my wife tomorrow morning, I've waited long enough", he said.

"Dean", she said.

"I know okay, I know, it's too soon…", she cut him off by kissing him.

She pulled away a bit.

"I wouldn't say no", she whispered.

He could feel his heart racing, swallowing slowly as he looked her in the eyes.

"But before you even think about it, the right thing to say would have to be no. It would be too soon, for me, for my kids.", she continued.

"And I get that", he nodded.

"And about the Shane thing, okay. Just you", she smiled.

"Really?", he asked.

She nodded.

"Can I ask why?", he asked.

"If you haven't noticed, I haven't mentioned Victor, well besides right now. When I was with Shane, Vic was all I talked about. He made me feel comfortable with Shane. I don't even have to try with you", she said.

He nodded.

"Same. I felt like I was always trying too hard in all my other relationships. I can talk to you, I can be honest, and not embarrassed about where I came from.", he said.

She kissed him. Someone cleared their throat and they pulled away. Turning to see the waiter, both laughed softly.

"Sorry", Brie said as she stood to go back to her seat.

"Its okay, trust me, that was PG compared to other things I've see go down here", the waiter winked.

Dean chuckled. They ate as Dean explained the whole Liv and Seth thing.

"Then Roman suckered me into this golf thing with Shane", Dean said, rolling his eyes.

"Oh man", Brie replied.

He nodded.

"Well, if it helps my weekend will be a bore. I'm cleaning out the garage, getting rid of some of Vic's things. Its time", she said.

"I can cancel with Rome if you want some help. I don't mind, and he won't either", Dean said.

"No, I think I need to do this on my own. Well not alone, Leah and Luis are going to help. I want them to keep something from their dad. I'm going to ask Diana too, let her take a few of his things", she said.

"Would you mind not throwing it all out till I have a chance to look too? I want to keep some things too", he said.

"Of course. Maybe I should ask Seth too huh. You guys should have something of his too.", she said.

Dean nodded.

"What I'm not keeping I will put aside for you guys.", she said.

"Thanks", he replied.

She saw the look on his face.

"I shouldn't have said anything about Vic, I'm sorry", she said.

"Babe, we should be able to talk about him. I don't mind. I just miss him some days is all. That was my brother, my family", he said.

She nodded and reached over, squeezing his hand gently.

"Come by Sunday, bring Seth with you. I will tell Roman, all three of you should do it together.", she said.

He nodded.

"Good idea", he said.

"Staying the night?", she asked.

"If you want me too", he replied.

She nodded.

"Remind me to text Diana about leaving Luis and Leah with them the night.", she said.

Dean smirked. She blushed and smiled.
