Chapter 11

Brian looked at Dom once more and could see the sincerity in those brown eyes he loves so much. He knew that it had been wrong not to contact the man when he found out but he was scare; he still was scare of the man's reaction. He took a deep breath but once more stopped himself not knowing how to start; it wasn't something easy and he knew that things might not end well if he said the wrong thing. Dom seemed to sigh silently before enfolding Brian in his arms. The blonde man tensed for a moment but the bald man didn't let go; Brian relax in the embrace before returning it.

"Just tell me everything," Dom whispered on his ear.

Without hesitating anymore Brian opened up to the man. He told him everything he knew about Dante De Angelo; about his mother and his friends. For the first time in his life Brian allowed someone else in; he allowed himself to rely on someone else's strength as he relieved everything he had gone through his life. He closed his eyes tightly as he told Dom of the reason he left.

"I didn't want to leave Dom; I wanted to stay," Brian whispered as he tighten his hold. "I couldn't though, had started to feel someone always watching me. As if waiting for me to let my guard down so they could finally attack. I couldn't allow them to hurt you or the others so I left."

"Why didn't you trust in me? Why not tell me?" Dom asked with the hurt evident in his voice.

"I was afraid of what you would say Dom," Brian backed away slightly so he could look at the other. "I was afraid that if something happened to Mia or Jesse you would blame me. I couldn't face that at all."

"I love you, even when we are bound to say hurtful things and fight for stupid things. Just know that I will always love you," Dom said without looking away.

Dom wasn't sure if Brian really believed him; he knew now that it was difficult for the blonde to give his trust. He knew that Brian trusted him with his life and their child's life; but that he was still holding back. He knew that the blonde loved him; Dom knew that for a fact because the blonde had told him as much and showed it even more.

"It hurts that you couldn't trust me," Dom said softly. "I now understand why though."

"I'm sorry for not going to you when I found out I was pregnant," Brian whispered so softly that if Dom hadn't been holding the blonde man he wouldn't have heard at all. "I'm sorry for not trusting my heart to know that you would not have doubted my reasons for going back."

Dom didn't say anything else though; he knew that it wasn't really Brian's fault but the blonde wouldn't allow him to contradict him. It was something he had learned early on in their relationship; while it wasn't often that Brian blamed himself for something if the blonde even thought it was his fault for a slight moment he wouldn't allow anyone to contradict him.

"I won't say that it doesn't hurt that you didn't trust our love; but after everything you have told me I can't put too much blame on you," Dom finally said. "I'm staying to help you to protect our child."

Dom watched as Brian's eyes closed off once he finished talking. He didn't even have time to react before the blonde pulled away from him once more. Dom was about to ask what was wrong when he repeated his own words.

"No Bri…"

"I guess that we won't be what we once were," Brian said without looking at him.

"Bri…"

"You can choose a one of the rooms on the second floor, since there are enough rooms for everyone. Now if you excuse me Dominic, I'm tired and I want to rest."

Dom reached out and pulled Brian to his chest before the blonde could even leave. He didn't allowed the blonde to leave even when he felt the other tense; Dom knew though that if he back up that Brian would keep misunderstanding him actions and words.

"I didn't mean it like that Brian," Dom said forcefully making the blonde stop fighting his hold. "I mean that I will stay with you to protect our child together; to protect the only person I have loved with all my heart."

"If you stay you risk everyone being in danger."

"I don't think we are still under the radar Pretty Boy," Dom said as the blonde allowed himself to relax. "From what you have told me then De Angelo is already here, even if we were to leave he would find us. I won't though; I won't allow him to hurt you."

Dante looked around the club as he looked towards the dance floor. Women and men dancing with their bodies closed to one another; the music loud and thrumming through everyone. It was as if they were incapable to stay separated from one another. He could see several women looking his way; he could see the interest in their eyes as they looked him over before smiling at him when they noticed he had caught them.

"Want me to send for one of them?" Carter asked from beside him.

Dante looked at the man for a moment before nodding; if he couldn't have Brian with him at the moment he would find another body. Once he had the blonde though he would use the man as many times as he wished. Either way it wouldn't matter; the blonde wouldn't dare protest in the end.

"Which one do you want?"

"The one by the bar, it will be easy to dispose of her afterwards," Dante answered.

Carter laughed but motion one of his men towards the woman Dante had indicated; it seemed that the man wasn't new to the knowledge that Dante made sure that the women he slept with wouldn't talk afterwards. It didn't take long for the woman to allow herself to be escorted to them; it seemed she was eager to sleep with someone that had money. It was a shame that she would find out that Dante didn't pay for the services he asked of whores.

"Do you think things will work out for them?" Jesse asked Leon as both looked out the window towards the two men standing near the railing.

"I don't know Jesse," Leon answered honestly. "I'm actually surprised that Brian allowed himself to love someone knowing that he would hurt himself once he had to leave."

"They are strong though," Jesse insisted turning to look at the older man. "They love each other. I can see it in their eyes; it would be a cruel thing if they didn't work things out."

"Yeah, but it would be even more cruel if they went back to how things were before Brian left," Leon countered gently. "Jesse, you have to understand that if they did that not only would doubt their love but the reason behind why the other was with them. They have to basically start from scratch with a baby on the way."

"I don't like seeing them hurt," Jesse said as the other man embraced him. "It wasn't Brian's fault that a psycho wants him for himself. Or that his mother told him to not allow anyone close to him because this could happen. I think that if Brian hadn't met Dom when he did he would have ended his life."

Jesse felt Leon sigh softly but didn't say anything to what he had said. He knew that the man was thinking the same thing. When they had seen Brian for the first time his eyes looked dead to the world. It was as if he didn't care about life anymore; and then he had met Dom. Someone that didn't give up easily even when he had refused to go out to a date with him; Dom who was so strong and persistent even when others told him it was unreachable. Brian had earned his name as the Snowman because of the way he seemed to be able to keep his cool. His eyes though when Dom kept asking him on a date had allowed Jesse to see that the blonde was trying to stop himself from loving someone.

"Would you hide your love Leon? If you loved someone would you hide it from them?" Jesse asked softly.

"If it meant I would keep them safe that way than yes."

"If everyone did that Leon, no one would be happy in the end. To be so close to the one you love and at the same time to be so far would be torture. I don't think I would be able to endure that the way that Brian did for so many months before giving Dom a chance," Jesse said softly.

Leon only tightened his hold unable to tell the younger man that he was doing exactly that.
