A Brother's Love by Bw filling in for Cc

A/N: Cc wasn't able to do her chapter so i offered to do it. Hope i did as good as she would!

"Tej, don't even think about it!" Stacey warned. Her, Rome, Tej were by the lake and Tej looked like he was going to push Stacey in. Tej grinned and held up both hands innocently. "Hey, I wasn't even thinking about doing that." He said and grinned again. Stacey laughed and put one hand on her hip. "Bullshit." She said.

"Hey, watch your mouth." She heard Brian say from a few yards away. He had a smile on his face, so she took it she wasn't in trouble. Stacey turned her back on Tej and Rome, which was a bad thing, to face her brother and his girlfriend. "I'll say whatever the hell I want Mr. Brian O' Conner" She said in a playful voice.

Brian laughed and saw behind his sister that Rome and Tej had a finger to there lips and made a move to grab her. Brian nodded and continued to talk to Stacey. "Not while I'm around." Brian said as Rome and Tej each grabbed and arm of Stacey and threw her into the cold lake water. She screamed bloody murder once her head bobbed from underwater. "Oh my God, Rome Tej, I'm gonna kick your butts once I find a way to get out of here!" Stacey threaten from the water. She was wet from head to toe.

While Stacey continued to threaten Rome and Tej, everyone on land were holding there stomachs and laughing so hard they couldn't breath. Brian went up to the two men and gave them a high five. Then walked towards the edge of the dock and stared down at his sister with a grin. "So Baby Sister, how's the water?" He asked. Stacey rolled her eyes and extended an arm to her brother. "Har har, I'm laughing so hard." She said, her words dripping with sarcasm. "Now gimme a hand, its friken cold in here." She said. Brian laughed and held out his arm, which was a big mistake, because Stacey took that opportunity and pulled his arm in so he fell into the cold water with her.

Brian had a look of complete shock on his face once his head emerged from the water. "No you didn't" He said shaking his head with a grin. Stacey stuck out her tongue childishly and swam back to the dock and hosted her herself up, while her brother made his way up to land also.

A few hours later both teams were seated around two picnic tables brought together outside in the back yard while Dom made his chicken on a grill that was left on the deck and everyone outside talked about random things. Mia, and Stacey were in the kitchen making a salad and other food for dinner.

"You know you should talk to Vince after dinner." Mia said suddenly, breaking the silence between the two. Stacey turned and looked at Mia like she just grew an extra head. Then she laughed. "Right Mia, what? Just so he can try to get in my pants again? No thanks, been there, done that." She said and went back to ripping the lettuce pieces. Mia stopped cutting the tomato's and looked at Stacey. "Stac, he told Brian earlier that he was sorry, he also said he wants Brian there when he apologies to you. I say get it over with now." Mia shrugged and went back to cutting the tomato's. Stacey rolled her eyes. "Still, sorry won't gain my trust back from him. Sorry won't take away the memory's, the tears, the pain." She said strongly. "But at least it's a step from not talking." Mia said, each girl not looking at each other.

Stacey thought about it as she put the last shreds of lettuce in the bowl. Will she be able to forgive him if he just said sorry? Would they ever try to become friends again? Probably some day, Stacey thought to herself as Mia threw the tomatoes and carrots into the bowl, along with the lettuce. Stacey sighed and picked up the bowl. "Look Mia, one day I'll might be able to be friends with him again. But right now....I don't' know if I even wanna be in the same room with him" Stacey said, and with that left the kitchen.

"So Dom, when are we leaving?" Stacey asked, once everyone was sitting down at the table. Dom swallowed and looked at her. "I'm thinking tomorrow afternoon. It'll take a bit to get back to L.A. and we'll probably have to rent a few hotel rooms." He said and went back to his chicken. Stacey sighed and rolled her eyes. "So that means I have to wake up before 1?" She asked. Everyone laughed. "Yes Little Miss I must have my beauty sleep" Brian said while Stacey held back the urge to flip her brother off. "I guess you and Mia won't get to fuck tonight since we'll have to get up early tomorrow." Stacey said and everyone stared at her in shock. She just smiled innocently and looked around at everyone. "What? The walls are paper thin, you can here anything that goes on in that cabin." She said and went back to eating her chicken, leaving everyone laughing, besides Brian and Mia who were blushing like crazy.

The next morning everyone got up around 9 AM and had everything packed and in the car by 11:30. "So who's riding with who?" Leon asked. Rome and Tej leaned against their cars as Brian walked over to them. "You guys coming to L.A with us?" He asked, wanting them to come with him. Rome and Tej looked at each other and nodded. "Hell yeah Bro, find me a nice L.A lady." Rome said and rubbed his hands together. Brian shook his head, of course Rome would only go to L.A for the women.

Vince came walking up to Brian after Rome and Tej went off to talk to Stacey. "Hey Brian, can I talk to you for a second?" Vince asked carefully. Brian cocked an eyebrow and followed Vince to the empty cabin. "What is it?" Brian asked not to meanly. Vince took a deep breath. "Could I just have Stacey ride with me so we could talk?" Vince asked carefully. Brian tilted his head. He didn't know if he could trust Vince alone with his Baby Sister. After a minute Vince shook his head. "I swear if I even think of touching her like that I'll let you kill me." Vince said, remembering Brian's warning. Finally Brian rolled his eyes. "Let me go talk to Stacey first and if she wants to I'll let her, but...you hurt her I have my gun ready." Brian said seriously. Vince nodded knowing that he'd kill him if he had to. Ever since Brian got custody of Stacey he had this new presence to him. It was like a protective older brother kind. He would do anything for his sister. He now realized that he was truely happy because he now had real, blood family. He hasn't had that in a long time and he loved it. He loved Stacey so much now. He wouldn't let anyone, and he meant anyone, take her away or hurt her. And he guessed that everyone noticed this changed in him because if they ever messed around with her, they'd be hearing from him and he'd beat whoever hurts her to the ground.

Brian shook his head and realized he's never seen Stacey cheer before. He realized he'd go to one of her competitions after they got back. He went out and pulled Stacey aside were she was talking with Rome. "Stac, I know you might not like this but how about you ride with Vince alone on the way home. Or at least until a rest stop? He wants to talk to you." Brian said gently. Stacey's eyes widen. "What? Brian you know what he tried to do to me. Why would I want to be alone with him?" Stacey said, her voice low so no one would hear the two talking. Brian put his hands on both her shoulders. "Stac, I told him if he touched you that I'd kill him." Brian said. Stacey looked deep down into the matching blue eyes of her brother. 'He really will kill Vince...' Stacey thought to herself after she saw no humor in the eyes of Brian. She thought about it for a minute and nodded and sighed. "Fine, I'll ride with him, BUT if he even thinks about trying anything on me I will hurt him." Stacey said. Brian nodded and forced a smile. He didn't agree with letting his sister ride with Vince alone, but he knew she could handle herself, after all she was an O' Conner. "If he tries anything hurt him and leave a little for me to take care of." Brian said and the two laughed and hugged. "I love you Brian." She said, truly meaning it. "I love ya too Stac, I just don't want you getting hurt..." Brian said. They pulled apart and went to join the rest of the team.

"So who's riding with who? We got 5 cars and 9 people." Dom announced. Vince looked at Brian for an answer and Brian nodded. "Stacey can ride with me." Vince said. Everyone turned towards him with raised eyebrows. Dom looked over at Brian with a confused look. Brian just nodded while Dom faced everyone, confused. "Um, ok. Then Letty, and Jesse ride with me. Leon, you and Mia ride together. Brian you ride with Rome and Tej you can ride by yourself while Stacey and Vince ride together." Dom ordered. Everyone nodded and got into their separate cars.

Stacey got in the passengers side of Vince's car and looked out the window as they drove off away from the cabin. "Bye Bye Cabin...." She muttered as Vince sped up. She knew that the talk that was soon to come would be scary.
