Chapter Twenty: Some People Change, Some Don't
Five years went by with not much notice by everyone. Brianna and Squid were still repairing the trust in their relationship, but they were almost in full recovery. Shaily and Zigzag's relationship was still in recovery too. Both Brianna and Squid were to blame for the incident that had happened years ago. Brianna had been neglecting Squid and what Squid did, didn't justify anything at all.
Sitting in their living room, Squid and Brianna remained silent. Music from the radio was being played in the background. Squid was reading the newspaper and Brianna was filing through her case folders. Squid glanced at Brianna over his newspaper. He smiled as he looked back down at his papers. She looked so cute when she was stressed out.
"Dammit," cursed Brianna. Squid looked at her over his newspaper again. She had dropped her papers and they were scattered all over the floor. Squid tried his best not to laugh as he watched her hurrily pick them back up, but it didn't last long. Squid started laughing and Brianna heard. "What?" she said, slightly snapping.
"Nothin' Bri," Squid said, trying to stop laughing.
"Are ya laughin' at me?" she asked, smiling herself now.
"Y-Yes," Squid forced out between his fazes of laughter. Brianna, smiling, threw a pillow at Squid's head, hitting him perfectly. Brianna giggled as Squid threw the pillow back at her.
"NOT FUNNY ALAN!" laughed Brianna, walking over to Squid with a pillow in her hand. She started pelting him in the head with it. Squid grabbed a pillow and started to hit her back as she hit him as well. Giggling, Brianna accidentally stepped on a paper she had forgotten to pick up and tripped. She fell onto the floor bringing Squid down with her. He fell on top of her.
"OW!" shouted Brianna, slapping Squid playfully on the shoulder. Squid stared, in a fake looking shocked look.
"Yer the one who tripped."
"Funny. Real. funny." Brianna hissed to him.
Brianna stared up into her husband's face. He stared at her and smiled. Squid leaned into Brianna and kissed her lightly on the mouth. She kissed him back and blushed. "I love you," whispered Squid. Brianna had tears form in her eyes, because it had been a long time since she had heard those words from him.
"I love you too," Brianna told him.
Squid smiled more and got up. He helped Brianna up back onto her feet. Brianna picked up the paper she had tripped on and put it into its folder. She sat back down on the couch and started to file through a yellow colored folder. She was putting a stack of papers inside the folder in a certain order. Squid, who was still standing, was watching her intently. He sat down beside her, closed the folder, and set the folder aside.
"Alan?" Brianna questioned. "What're ya doin'?" She leaned over to get her folder again but Squid stopped her by putting his arm around her waist. He smiled and kissed her again. Brianna kissed him back and reached for her folder again. He stopped her. "Alan. I've got a lot of work. It's due tomorrow." Brianna told him.
"Your folder isn't goin' anywhere." Squid said, kissing Brianna again.
"But Ala-" Brianna said, but was cut off by Squid kissing her mouth again. When he pulled away Brianna stared at him and blushed. She smiled and kissed him again. Squid kissed her more until Squid pulled her on top of him. She laid her head against his chest. Squid tangled his fingers in her hair.
"I love you." he whispered again.
"I love you too."
"MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Mitchell coming into the living room. Brianna got up from Squid's chest.
Brianna turned to her son, "What baby?"
"Uhm. I-I. Need to talk ya something." Mitchell whispered. Brianna got up from the couch and followed her son into his bedroom. "Mom. You know Rosie right?" asked Mitchell quietly.
"Yes, of course."
"Is it wrong to think of a girl who had been yer friend. is pretty.?"
Brianna smiled, "No it isn't wrong. Why?"
"Because I think Rosie is really pretty now." Mitchell said, blushing. Brianna blinked. "I mean. She's been my best friend for years but, just like that she turned into this really cute thirteen-year-old blonde girl in almost all my classes at school. And I've been making a fool of myself in front of her. It's been horrible."
Brianna hugged her son and whispered, "Sweetie. There's nothing wrong in thinking a girl is cute. especially your friend who is a girl. But uhm. Since I'm a girl myself, I can't really give you good advice, but I know yer father will. So later he'll be talking with ya ok?" Mitchell smiled and nodded.
"Thanks Mom," smiled Mitchell.
Brianna left her son in his room and went back into the living room. Raja was giggling as she sat in father's lap watching TV. "What are you two doing?" asked Brianna, smiling. Raja smiled brightly at her mother.
"Watching cartoons!" Raja trilled. Brianna laughed and sat next to Squid on the couch. Squid slid his free hand into Brianna's hand. Brianna turned to Squid and he smiled at her. Squid quickly kissed Brianna on the cheek. Brianna blushed and smiled. She watched cartoons along with Raja and Squid.
* Later *
Squid walked into the bathroom and caught Brianna standing on her weight scale. He leaned against the frame of the door. She was in a blue tank top and baggy lounging pants. She was looking hopelessly at the scale. "You look good, sweetie," he whispered.
"I'm fat." she growled.
"No yer not."
"Yes I am!" pouted Brianna. Squid came up to Brianna and put his arms around her waist.
He whispered into her ear, "Yer the most beautiful girl to ever come into this world to me Brianna. Yer so beautiful."
Brianna looked him in the eyes and almost cried. She hugged him tightly and finally broke down into tears. "Alan. I'm sorry." she told him, tearfully.
Squid blinked, "For what?"
"For neglecting you."
Squid smiled and kissed her. "It's all water under the bridge now. Calm down honey. Nothing could ever come between us. Nothing." Squid kissed her again but this time deeply. Brianna returned the favor.
Squid smirked and picked Brianna up holding her legs. "Alan!" shrieked out Brianna, still giggling at the same time. He brought her into the bedroom and set her on the bed.face first. "ALAN!" Brianna said, getting up and standing on the bed. She pushed him onto the bed and laughed at him until he grabbed her leg and pulled her down and she landed on her butt.
"WHY YOU LITTLE-" But Squid was cut off by Brianna hitting him with a pillow. "OW!" Squid shouted, grabbing a pillow and hitting her as well.
Brianna giggled.
"What're ya smilin' for?" asked Squid, as he ducked from a swing of her pillow. She smirked at him and hit him on the top of his head. Brianna started laughing.
Brianna giggled, "Because you look so funny!"
Squid stared blankly, "Whaddya mean?"
"Look at yer hair!" she howled with laughter as Squid threw his pillow at her. Squid took a quick glance in the mirror on the wall. His dark brown hair was sticking up from Brianna pelting him with her pillow in the head. Brianna was now on her back laughing at him. Her dark chestnut colored hair was spilled over the blankets as she laughed. Squid leered over her with a smirk on his face. "What?" asked Brianna, calming down from her laughter.
Squid leaned down and kissed Brianna's neck. She giggled. "Nothin'," whispered Squid. Brianna stared confused at Squid. He laughed and started tickling Brianna's sides. She squealed with laughter and rolled over onto her side so she could try to get out of Squid's reach.
"STOP IT ALAN!" laughed Brianna. Squid pinned her down again and tickled her even more. "ALAN!" laughed Brianna, trying desperately to squirm out of his grip. Squid smiled as he leaned down to kiss her neck. Brianna felt his arms wrap around her waist.
"MOM! DAD!" shouted Mitchell from the living room. Brianna rolled her eyes. Squid lifted off of Brianna and they both went into the living room. Mitchell was standing at the doorway, looking overly happy.
"What is it Mitch?" asked Squid.
"RICHARD'S HOME!" Mitchell announced loudly. Raja appeared at Mitchell's side. She was giggling.
"And he has a girlfriend!" Raja told them giggling childishly. Brianna smiled. Squid stared.
"What?" he asked, confused. Brianna started to laugh. Squid stared at her now.
Brianna said, "Yer so clueless, Alan." Squid rolled his eyes and quickly kissed Brianna on the cheek. She smiled, Mitchell rolled his eyes, and Raja gagged.
"So where is Richard?" asked Squid looking around. Brianna rolled her eyes, but was smiling as she glanced over at the doorway and found her son standing there.
"RICH!" she cried out, running to him. She threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "Richard! Oh my God! I can't believe yer here! I missed ya so much. When didya get here? And who's this girl Raja told me about?" Brianna was throwing one question after another to her son, who had just gotten there. Richard stared shocked at his mother.
"Mom. Uhm. Couldya calm down, please?" he asked her gently. Brianna blushed and nodded.
"Sorry Rich. I just missed ya so much!" Brianna said, hugging him again.
Richard went over to the couch and set his suitcase down on the floor and turned to his mother. "Mom I'll be right back ok?" Richard said, and then raced out of the door. Brianna blinked and went to the front window and watched him helping a girl with brown hair with blonde streaks and a slim body at his car. She was laughing at him. Richard took two suitcases from the trunk of his car and the girl took two herself and they both walked to the front door. Brianna rushed over and opened it.
"Alan help Rich." commanded Brianna. Squid glared.
"Why me?" he asked, slightly pouting. Brianna gave him a look and he rolled his eyes as he picked up the two suitcases from the girl. The girl came in after Richard and smiled.
"Mom. This is my girlfriend, Kaylie." Richard said, smiling and slightly blushing as well. Brianna smiled.
"Now where'd ya met her?" asked Brianna.
"Kaylie's in some of my classes at NOU and she worked at this restaurant to help pay her way through college and well. I went there one night and she was my waitress and we started talking. I found out she went to my college and I well. asked her out and she said yes." Richard explained. Kaylie turned a light red color.
Brianna looked over Kaylie, to see wether she approved of this girl or not. Kaylie wore a black jacket over her light blue tank top. She had on bell- bottom blue jeans and a pair of worn in sneakers. She had light blue eyeliner and some foundation make up on her face. She had light brown eyes that glittered as the light hit them. Brianna sighed. This girl was approved. Richard sighed with relief.
Brianna went to the couch and sat down. Richard shook his head and sighed. "Mom, uhm. I'm gonna take my old room ok?" Brianna nodded. "Uhm. Where should Kaylie stay?" asked Richard, nervously. Brianna's eyes widened. Squid caught her look and grabbed Brianna's hand and pulled her away into their bedroom. He shut the door behind himself.
"WHAT IN HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT!?" shouted Brianna.
Squid sighed and grabbed Brianna by the shoulders to calm her down. He made her sit down and he sat down beside her. "Brianna. Honey don't." pleaded Squid.
"Don't what?" snapped Brianna.
Squid sighed, "You know exactly what!"
Brianna groaned. "I just don't like the idea of Rich and his girlfriend. Together in a room. At night. Alone." Squid rolled his eyes.
"Brianna might I remind a certain someone. Of whom was a college girl and had her boyfriend. Well fiancée spend the night in her apartment and had sex with him that very night in her roommate's bed." Squid said. Brianna crossed her arms around her chest.
"That was different." Brianna informed.
"Uh no it wasn't! Brianna. I know ya trust yer son more than that to be able to control himself while he spends his holidays. And plus I highly doubt they've actually had sex yet anyway." Squid said, smugly.
Brianna sneered slightly and mumbled something under her breath. Squid couldn't make out what she had said. "But Alan. We've got a thirteen year old and a nine year old in this house!" shouted Brianna, slightly whining as well. Squid rubbed his temple.
"Honey," Squid stated. "They love each other and well. I don't think he wants you to interfere with his love life anyway." Brianna laid on her back on the bed. Squid laid on his side next to her. "So are ya gonna ease up a bit on Richard and Kaylie?" asked Squid, hoping she would. He didn't like it when Richard felt uncomfortable in his own parents' home.
Brianna rolled onto her side, so she could face Squid. "Fine I will." Brianna whispered to him. Squid smiled happily and kissed Brianna deeply on the mouth. She smiled and kissed him back. "I love you."
"I love you too, sweetie." Squid said, getting up from the bed. He helped Brianna up and they walked back into the living room. Kaylie and Richard were sitting together on the couch. Raja and Mitchell were on the floor watching TV.
Brianna flinched slightly as she saw Richard and Kaylie together. She was still not totally ok with them staying together. Squid grabbed Brianna's shoulders and calmed her down. Brianna sat down on the couch, after Squid had sat down on the couch. She leaned against him and closed her eyes. Squid glanced over at Rich and Kaylie. Kaylie was doing the same as Brianna. Richard noticed Squid watching and turned to him. Squid smiled and turned away, stroking Brianna's hair. She smiled in her sleep and snuggled against him.
"Daddy!" Raja said, smiling.
"What Raj?" said Squid.
"Do you love mommy again?" she asked, innocently.
Squid blinked, "What?"
"Do you love mommy again?"
It hit Squid what Raja meant. Squid had moved out for a short time while he and Brianna worked out their problems and they slowly rebuilt their relationship. Eventually Squid had been allowed to move back in with Brianna and the rest of his family. Squid smiled at Raja and nodded. "Yes Raj. I do. And I've always had." Squid told his only daughter. Her bright gray eyes sparkled happily. She clapped her hands and jumped up and down in pure joy.
"WILL YA STOP IT YA HOLY TERROR!" shouted Mitchell. Raja glared.
"Mitchell. Raja. Behave!" scolded Squid.
"Yes Dad." hissed Mitchell, rolling his eyes.
"Sorry Daddy." pouted Raja.
Squid sighed and watched Brianna sleeping in his arms. She looked so sweet while she slept. So innocent. He felt guilty for the hell he put her through, and yet part of the reason why it happened was because of her. Squid laid his head back on the couch and went into deep thought, since no one was bothering him.
* Flashback *
"Bri please lemme in!" shouted Squid, frustrated. Brianna shook her head and slammed the door in his face.
"I HATE YOU!!" she cried, tears streaming down her face.
"Brianna. Please." Squid whispered, almost crying himself. Brianna slid down onto the floor and started to cry. She was still in shock over Squid hurting her like this. What had she done that made him cheat on her? Stupid her.
Everything was her fault. Everything.
"Bri please." Squid pleaded.
"No." Brianna said, firmly but with a quiver in her voice. She was obviously crying from behind the safety of the door. Squid rolled his eyes and started off, in anger. He kicked the side of the house and slammed his car door shut. He pulled out of the driveway and left for a drive to get his mind off things.
* End of Flashback *
Brianna was still sleeping peacefully against Squid on the couch. Squid wanted to tell Brianna how much he loved her. But at the same time. He didn't want to awaken her from her sleep. She looked so calm while she slept. He loved every moment of it. One of those few priceless moments you always remember for the rest of your life.
Squid didn't want to let Brianna go as the TV show ended and everyone else got up and left the living room, even Richard and Kaylie. Squid and Brianna remained on the couch, and Brianna was still asleep. Squid ran his fingers through her hair and kissed her lightly.
"Bri, I'll never hurt ya again." Squid promise.

She looked so calm while she slept. He loved every moment of it. One of those few priceless moments you always remember for the rest of your life.
Squid didn't want to let Brianna go as the TV show ended and everyone else got up and left the living room, even Richard and Kaylie. Squid and Brianna remained on the couch, and Brianna was still asleep. Squid ran his fingers through her hair and kissed her lightly.
"Bri, I'll never hurt ya again." Squid promise.
