LAX Airport Gate 23

At about three forty-five in the afternoon Brandon and David were waiting for Dylan's plane to arrive from Mexico. He had been all over the world in the past four months that it was really hare to keep track of where he was. The only thing the guys had known was that he wanted to see the gang. He had called Brandon late last night to set up a time to pick him up. Normally he would just rent a car and drive to the hotel he called his second home, but he really needed to talk to Brenda and he knew she was staying with Brandon and Kelly. The airport was rather crowded for it being Monday afternoon but that didn't bother the guys because there were to busy watching the people walking through the main gate.

"Hey Dylan over here!" David shouted from across the room.

"Thanks for coming to get me…" Dylan said once he was closer to them.

"No problem, where are we dropping you off, my friend?" Brandon asked as he grabbed one of the bags.

"I figured we could hang as your place for a while before heading to the hotel." Dylan started.

"That may not be a good idea D. The girls are using the house as a bunker…"

"Yeah they have wedding and baby stuff all over the place." Brandon finished.

"Baby stuff… you and Kelly having a baby too?" Dylan asked totally clueless on what was going on.

"Oops" David commented as Brandon began to explain as they walked to baggage claim.

"No Kelly is throwing a baby shower for a friend and the rest of the girls are just helping her out…"

"Nice save!" David whispered to him.

"So who is having the baby?" Dylan asked noting the change in Brandon's voice.

"Well…" David prompt almost teasingly saying how are you gonna get out of this one?

"Brenda, but Dylan you didn't hear it from me…" Brandon was already trying to defend his sister.

"Brenda didn't tell me about this… are you sure?" Dylan asked.

"Yeah we're sure… She's definitely got something in there!" David said grabbing a bag off the carousel.

"You guys know who the dad is?" Dylan was hurt that she forgot to tell him he might be a father.

"No, I can honestly say that she didn't say who the father was." Brandon reassured him.

"How about we go to the hotel first?" David asked as they headed out to the car.

"Sounds like a plan…" Brandon said walking between the two.

Dylan was silent for the rest of the trip to the hotel. He was unsure whether or not he believed his friends; the one thing he did know was that he really needed to talk to Brenda now. He had been planning on meeting up with her in Mexico but she wouldn't answer her house phone, he had just figured that she was working but when he called Brandon he found out that she had been staying with him. What made her think that she had to hide this from him? Having a baby would have been fine with him, but she was refusing to tell him, what was so bad about a baby? They arrived at the hotel and went up to the room as the questions continued to roll through his mind.

Casa Walsh Living Room

There was paper all over the room, mostly in different piles, but all over none the less. Kelly was trying to organize the final stages of her wedding, while Donna was taking care of mailing all of the baby shower invitations. Brenda had passed out on the couch while watching television. Kelly looked over some of the papers that had been sitting next to her on the floor and just sighed… How am I going to get all of this done in time? She was lost in thought when Donna began to speak.

"Hey Kel, where are all of these going?" She asked referring to the invitations on the coffee table.

"I'll drop them off at the post office on my way to work tomorrow." She said not even looking up from what she was doing.

"Kel what's wrong?" Donna asked looking over at her.

" Brandon is at the airport picking up Dylan as we speak." She said finally looking up. "He called last night and I kinda told him that Brenda had moved back home. He said that he was going to be on the next flight out because he needed to talk to her and she wasn't answering the phone. Brandon then took the phone and said he and David would pick him up…"

"Does she know?" Donna asked referring to Brenda.

"I don't think so… but she is going to find out soon… at least Dylan doesn't know about the baby yet." Kelly said going back to what she was doing.

"I don't think she'll be able to hide it much longer."

"No matter how hard she tries… Hey Don what do you think of these?" She asked holding up one of the magazines she was looking at.

"Oh… Those are gorgeous and I think I might be able to duplicate them for you."

"Really… that would be fantastic… but its not going to conflict with my dress being done on time is it?"

"Kel, your dress is done I just have to do a final fitting for you. I'll get started tomorrow?" She said writing out another address on the envelope.

"I can't wait for this baby shower I have already bought so much stuff!" Kelly said trying to get off the wedding subject for a little while.

"It's only three more weeks away… Oh and then four weeks after that there will be a new baby in the house!"

"Yeah… Oh did I tell you Brandon wants to have a baby too now!" Kelly said smiling.

"Really? You're not even married yet." Donna commented.

"Well, this morning we were talking about babies and how I wished I hadn't lost our baby last year and he just started saying that it wasn't the right time then… so I asked if it was now and he didn't say anything else."

"You two didn't…" Kelly nodded. "Kel I can't believe you!" Donna said in a mock serious tone.

"Hey I didn't hear any complaining coming from him about it!" Kelly rebutted.

Donna just stared at her for awhile before they both just dropped it and returned to what they were doing. Kelly put down her stack of papers and moved over to where Donna was sitting addressing envelopes and began to help out. It was nice to be doing something other than wedding details. Why couldn't the wedding just plan itself? She thought to herself as she sealed another invitation.
