Title: Five Mothers

Brian never thought he'd give Lindsay a Mother's day card because she had his child. He loved Gus though and loved his mom as a friend. There were the few times they had done each other, but that was mostly while they were really drunk in college. He definitely was into men no doubt about it on that. He might have joked with Lindsay few times, but he'd never give up Justin for anyone else.

He had given her flowers, cards, a spa day, and a couple of times the night off to do what she wanted. Things changed as the years went by like it had with the other two mother's he'd known. Besides that she was the mother of their son he didn't really have a connection to her anymore. She took his son and left the country because she got scared after the bombing. If it wasn't for advancing computer technology he wouldn't get to see his son but holidays, birthdays, and the two months out of the summer.

It was like when Lindsay left she tried cutting him out completely because he didn't do what she'd expected him to. She'd tried convincing him to shove Justin out the door claiming it was the best for him. He'd finally told Lindsay she could mother her children if she wanted to control someone's life. She'd practically stopped talking to him if not for Gus after that. It had been the truth though. Even after all the things he done for her over the years she'd once again done only what she thought was best.

He would always love her for being the mother of his son, but as anything more he couldn't. He was just thankful for those weekends he did get to see Gus at times when he went there his self. She didn't talk to him when he was around so it was strange, but he got the time with Gus because he was making the effort. He wanted his son in his life and Justin's like it should be.

The last time he'd given Lindsay a Mother's day gift was the first year they'd been in Canada. Justin had come up with him and they'd taken Gus for the weekend so that the girls could do what they wanted. He helped Gus make those cards for his mom when he was there visiting though. He was just glad that his son had a mom that did love him. Lindsay might not show him love anymore because she didn't get her way of having him completely alone, but she loved their son.

If he thought that she didn't he'd fight as hard as possible to get his son back. He never wanted Gus to not be his even if he'd given his rights up. He'd refused to have Gus growing up with that French guy he couldn't even remember the name of now. He'd never let Gus feel unwanted by his mom like he'd been. The difference was that Lindsay had wanted Gus where as his mom hadn't. That was the good thing about his son's life even though at times he thought Lindsay sucked at things she loved Gus.
