AN: So sorry for the delay. I haven't given up, I've always known how I wanted this story to go before I wrote it, I just have been so swamped and haven't had time to put it into words. Hope you like it, and thanks for being so patient!
BH90210 - Season Premiere
"Well if it isn't Mr and Mrs Silver." Brandon greeted Donna and David as they headed to their booth
"Working hard, I see." Donna smiled
"The peach pit isn't just my diner, it's my baby!" Brandon winked, "Babe, could you give me a hand?" Brandon called to the kitchen
"Yes, Emily, help your husband, he's struggling." David laughed
"I'm here... what do you kids want to eat?" Emily asked The Silvers, pulling out a note pad.
"2 mega burgers, of course." David grinned
"Should we get something for Delilah?" Donna asked
"I'm pretty sure she'd rather have lunch with her friends, rather than her parents." David sighed
"Tell me about it!" Kelly walked in, "I can't pry Vivian away from her phone long enough to talk to me."
"Mrs McKay." Brandon greeted Kelly, "Vivian is clearly at the peak of adolescence."
"Oh yes, and unfortunately she takes after me. If I gave Jackie as much grief, remind me to apologize." Kelly shrugged
"How's Jack?" Donna asked, as Kelly took a seat beside them.
"He takes after Dylan, thank god." Kelly replied
"Is that a good thing?" David joked
"It is while his face is buried in Bukowski poetry." Kelly giggled
"Where is Dylan?" Donna asked
"He's on his way, just finished a meeting with his publisher."
"The gang is all here!" Brenda entered the peach pit, greeted with "Hellos" and hugs from her fellow peers. "God, we're old!" She joked
"What's that on your finger?" Donna gasped, as Brenda proudly showed off an engagement ring
"Who's the lucky guy?" Kelly asked
"I think you mean, poor sucker." Brandon joked and Brenda playfully hit him
"Lucky for you guys, you know him." Brenda turned to the door, where a man had parked his car and headed in
"Oh my god, that's... that's Rick!" Donna squealed
"Yes it is." Brenda smiled, as Rick kissed her cheek.
"Sorry, we're late!" Steve and Janet walked in.
"Me too." Dylan grabbed a seat next to Kelly and kissed her head. "Guess what?" He whispered in her ear
"What?" Kelly grinned
"I got the book deal!" Dylan smirked and Kelly hugged him
"I knew you would!" She kissed her husband, proudly.
As the gang all reminisced over high school, they were interrupted by one last visitor.
"Andrea!" Brandon smiled, "I thought you couldn't make it."
"I didn't want to miss this." She hugged her friends
"We heard about the divorce. Hope everything's okay Hannah." Donna smiled apologetically
"Oh yeah, she's got two parents that love her. That's all that matters... in fact, I do have some news" Andrea said coyly
"What?" Kelly asked intrigued
"I'm sorta, seeing someone, and I'd love for you guys to be as welcoming as possible."
"Of course we will be" Kelly assured
"Okay..." Andrea turned to face the door, and smiled. Just then a familiar face walked in.
"Claire?" Brandon and David said in unison
"Guys, this is my girlfriend." Andrea held Claire's hand. The gang's initial shock wore off, and they all ate lunch together.
After they watched the season premiere, Luke and Jason headed back to his place.
"Camille's put out a couple of beers, want one?" Jason asked and Luke nodded
"Cheers to the reboot." Luke grinned and Jason held up his glass in a toast.
"You okay?" Jason asked, after a while
"Yeah... yes." Luke nodded, taking a swig of his beer.
"Come on, talk to me." Brandon pleaded
"It's over now. No more filming with you guys." Luke gave him a weak smile,
"Unless, we get picked up for season 2." Jason grinned
"Not for me..." Luke sighed
"What, why?" Jason asked
"I needed this. I needed to come say goodbye to you all. My family." Luke assured
"What are you gonna do?" Jason asked intently
"Just closing a chapter. Please don't tell the gang yet, I'll do it in my own time."
"Sure, I understand. Donna will rip your hair out if she knew you weren't returning." Jason laughed, "But I'm glad you could come to me."
"We're brothers." Luke smiled, but his smile quickly turned to a frown as he stared at the floor
"This wouldn't have anything to do with Jen, would it?" Jason eyed him closely
"Being around her again, was wonderful. But it's just a little too much. We had our chance years ago. I blew it."
"Luke... The fact that you've been keeping all this inside for so long is crazy. 30 years and I'm still the only person in the world who knows you're in love with her. Tell her."
"I can't do that. She's got her own life." Luke shook his head
"Come on, how much longer are you gonna torture yourself. You've been in love with her since you met, granted things didn't go your way, and you moved on, got married, had a wonderful son. But now you're single. You could get everything you've always wanted since you were 25. If not now, then when?"
"Jay... she's not single. We never are single at the same time. It's fate."
"She doesn't have a ring on her finger. This is the first time you're both free to finally explore this. I was surprised after your divorce nothing happened."
"We were both mourning failed marriages."
"And now? What's your excuse?" Jason warned
"Mum?" Molly walked into the living room, to find Jennie sipping a glass of wine.
"Hi, sweetie. Did you like the show?" She asked
Molly nodded. "I had a lot of fun playing Donna and David's daughter."
"Delilah suits you." Jennie smiled. Molly paused, before sitting beside her mother on the couch
"Mother... I think you left a couple things out." Molly breathed out
"Oh, Molly not this again! We've talked it through. I've told you everything."
"What about Luke?" She asked
"Molly, you know everything already, please. Would you drop it?!" Jennie became irritated
"Yeah, everything. Up until now." Molly stared her down
"Molly, don't-"
"-Are you in love with him?" Molly interrupted
Jennie's eyes finally locked with her daughter.
"Hey." Michael entered the house, "Sorry to interrupt."
"Michael, hey it's fine." She got up and kissed him
"Congratulations on the premiere." He smiled, "Can we talk for a second?"
"Sure... Molly, could you give us a minute?" She asked her daughter, Molly stared at her, "Please." Jennie insisted, and Molly nodded and walked off.
"I couldn't help but overhear." Michael said, once Molly was out of sight.
"Oh. Don't mind Molly, she doesn't know what she's talking about." Jennie shook her head nervously
"Neither do you." Michael sighed... "I was gonna give you this..." He pulled out a ring from his pocket
"Michael!" Jennie gasped, "Oh my god, it's beautiful."
"Yeah... but Molly's right. Whatever's going on with you, Luke and this show. You need to deal with it."
"Michael..." Jennie pleaded
"Hey - It's okay." Michael assured, "I understand, really. But I can't give you this, until you're ready. Talk to him... it's the only chance we'll have of a future."
"Hey." Jennie breathed out, anxiously as Luke opened his front door. Surprised to see Jennie standing behind it.
