Chapter 19 The Walsh Save
David slowly unbuttoned Donna's shirt kissing down her neck. So many things were going through his head at the moment. He wasn't quite sure what was going on. The truth of the matter was he did love Donna and there was really only one reason he wasn't with her and if she was willing to do it then that may change everything. David's conscience got the best of him.
He pulled back and whispered, "Donna…what are you doing?" he closed his eyes shaking his head.
"I thought you wanted this." Donna leaned up on her elbows.
David moved so he was sitting next to her and sighed, "I do believe me I do but you don't."
Donna sat up wrapping her shirt around herself, "No I do want to."
David looked deeply into her eyes, "Are you just doing this because you want me back?"
Donna looked at the wall in front of her as her eyes began to water, "Not entirely…can I be totally honest with you?" David nodded, "You are the only person I envisioned losing my virginity too and the fact that you were a virgin too made it even more special. Now you are dating Valerie and you probably have done it already and I want nothing more than you to be my first." Donna looked down.
David ran his hand down the back of her head, "I haven't done it yet." David said quietly shaking his head.
Donna's head popped up quickly and looked at him, "You haven't." she said relieved.
"No." David smiled.
Donna threw her arms around David's neck so hard he almost fell off the bed. As she loosened her grip David gently rubbed down her back.
"I should go." David looked toward the ground.
"Wait why? I am ready, I promise I am." Donna said with confidence.
"That maybe so but your first time shouldn't be like this." David got up and looked down and smiled. "Are things ok with us?"
Donna smiled back nodding her head, "Yeah things are ok."
David started to unpack his duffle bag and Donna made her way to the doorway, she turned around and stared at him for a second as he had his back turned to her. David felt her eyes on him as he slowly turned around.
Donna gave him a half smile, "Thanks David. Even though sometimes I may want to smack you…you are a nice guy."
"I know…I know, it's a fault, I'm sure it will bite me on the ass later."
"I was serious though about what I said, I think I am ready and I want it to be with you. You are the only one I trust." Donna smiled sweetly as she walked into her bedroom.
David sighed, "Yep I am a nice guy alright. Urh I could be totally doing it right now." David threw his duffel bag into the closet and fell back on his bed.

Brenda lay awake in her bed. She looked at the clock, it was after dinner time but still early but Dylan was no where to be found. Not having any reason so far not to trust him, her first thought was she had hoped something bad hadn't happened to him. He wasn't home, he wasn't in class, where was he? Brenda closed her eyes and a tear fell down her cheek. Brenda felt like she was losing him, he was slipping away and she wasn't grabbing for him to pull him back. There was no way Dylan would cheat on her she thought, not after everything that went on last year. Brenda wiped the tears that had made it out of her eye. She gently played with the promise ring Dylan had given her the year before for Valentines Day in Minnesota. Finally she heard the front door open, relief flushed over her with the knowledge he was okay, he was not hurt but where the hell had he been? Brenda sat up at the edge of the bed, she sat on her hands with her head down. Dylan with his hands in his pocket walked into the bedroom.
"Hey Bren." Dylan said softly as he turned awkwardly to the side and back to the front.
Brenda didn't raise her head, she just sat there looking at the floor. Dylan slowly moved over sitting closely beside her. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"What's happening with us Dylan?" Brenda finally looked up and looked at him.
Dylan shook his head, "I don't know."
Dylan looked at the tears in her eyes and his heart broke. "I'm sorry." he whispered, "For the past few days.
"I thought something happened to you." Brenda looked to the floor before meeting his stare again. "Do you still love me?"
"Oh Bren." Dylan exhaled, "Yes I still love you." Dylan pulled her in kissing her temple and hugging her tightly.
Brenda let her tears out as she closed her eyes and let him hold her, it felt like it had been so long since she felt his embrace. Brenda pulled out and deeply kissed him. She looked at the wall and wiped her tears. They sat quiet for a moment and Dylan contemplated telling her about Toni and the kiss.
"Do you want this… I mean me and the baby? Are you scared? Am I too fat? What is it?"
Dylan turned himself toward her resting his leg on the bed. He reached out and took both hands and gently placed them on her upper arms. "Yes I want this, I'm not scared." Dylan laughed lightly, "And no your not too fat, come on."
"Well why are you talking to another girl? You know this whole thing…is making me crazy, I feel insecure and all this stuff is changing, my personality, my body and I want to know you are the same, we are the same."
"We'll be ok, I promise." Dylan wrapped his arms around her pulling her close. She thought about the call and him disappearing. Brenda pushed him away getting up off the bed and turning toward him.
"I don't know if it will." she raised her voice, "Where have you been?"
Dylan swallowed hard, "I went surfing." he said with a small shrug.
"Surfing? Where? Or should I ask with who?" Brenda was fuming.
Dylan bit his lower lip and got up, he tried to comfort her but she pulled away again and crossed her arms waiting for his answer.
"I went surfing down in New Jersey."
"Jersey? How? We don't have a car here?" Brenda braced herself for the answer which somehow she knew already.
"Ok before you freak out…"
Brenda shook her head, "I knew it. How could you do that to me? This isn't high school Dylan."
"It's not what you think, when she called she invited me and I wanted to meet up with her so I can tell her about you and the baby. I thought she was beginning to maybe like me and I didn't want to give her the wrong idea."
"How noble of you Dylan." Brenda paused and just glared at him, "Did you do anything with her?"
Dylan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "She kissed me…but I stopped it and that's when I told her I had a girlfriend that I loved."
"I can't believe this." Brenda looked down at her feet still crossing her arms. "You are such a bastard, Here I am feeling bad and thinking that its me and I am not sexy anymore or maybe I did something wrong and it's just that you are a jerk."
"Brenda…listen to me." Dylan pleaded getting closer to her.
"NO! You listen to me, get your stuff and get the hell out of here." Brenda stormed into the living room. She couldn't even look at him. He did it again but this time it seemed worse even though fooling around with her best friend seemed impossible to beat. This time he cheated on her when she was pregnant, living with him and there was no Jim to blame or her being away.
"Brenda." Dylan followed her into the living room. "Don't do this, we are better than this."
Brenda swung around, "All those times I stuck up for you, my father was right about you. You are a bad guy, he said you would do it again and you did."
Dylan felt his heart being ripped at the seams. He stood there shocked, Dylan always thought in the back of his mind that he wasn't good enough for her but then he loved her so much and she the same but hearing her say it was different.
Dylan put his hurt aside, "Bren, I love you, we are having a baby. She kissed me, I stopped it right away, you're acting like I made out with her. " He moved closer to her.
Brenda put up her hands, "Get out."
"Bren?" Dylan pleaded with his eyes.
"GET OUT!!." Brenda screamed.
Dylan stared at her seeing the tears gather in her eyes, he looked down ashamed. They looked toward the door as it buzzed. The first person Brenda thought about that would be there was Toni. She stomped over to the intercom and pressed the button, "WHAT?"
"Honey?" Jim said.
Brenda closed her eyes and released the button, she looked over Dylan. "It's my parents."
"Great." Dylan said under his breath.
Brenda changed her tone as she pressed the button again, "I'll buzz you in." Brenda pressed down opening the gate down stairs.
"What are we going to do, what the hell are they doing here?"
Dylan shook, "Please don't tell them." He said under his breath.
"We will deal with this later, I am NOT going to be lectured about you and I told you so's." Brenda said sternly. "Can you do that? Can you act like a good boyfriend" Brenda said rudely.
Dylan nodded slowly, "Yeah." Dylan took a deep breath, "Thank you." he moved closer to her. For Brenda to not out him to her parents meant more than she probably even knew.
"Don't." Brenda brushed him off. She opened the front door and smiled, "What are you guys doing here?"
"Surprise." Cindy said bringing Brenda into a hug. "We just landed an hour ago. We thought since Christmas was next week we would surprise you guys and spend Christmas with you and Dylan." Cindy backed out of the hug and moved to Dylan.
Brenda cleared her throat as she greeted her father, "Look at you, your showing." Jim smiled and placed his hand on her belly. Brenda nodded and smiled then looked at Dylan.
"Well come in, what a surprise." Brenda deserved an academy award. "What about Brandon?"
"Oh he is going to a task force retreat next week. Your father and I couldn't resist coming to New York and feeling a real Christmas again and of course seeing you two." Cindy gushed.
"Well…I am glad you guys are here." Dylan said sweetly.
"Definitely…can I get you guys something to drink?" Brenda walked over stopping before the kitchen.
Jim and Cindy looked at each other and nodded, "Water is fine."
"You got it." Brenda smiled as she made her way into the kitchen.
"Sit down make yourself at home, I'm going to help Bren." Dylan nervously pointed at the kitchen and made his way in.
Dylan walked into the kitchen where Brenda was getting her parents some water as he moved closer to her, "Bren." he exhaled. "I am sorry."
Brenda turned her head and looked at him. She looked into his eyes and then looked away shaking her head, "Dylan…you're not or you wouldn't have even gone with her." Brenda whispered calmly.
"I was honest with her…I admit maybe too late but I was. I didn't kiss her she kissed me, Brenda don't shut me out." Dylan pulled her into him gently placing his hands on the sides of her belly. "We are having a baby, I want to be a part of it." He leaned in placing his cheek against her temple and squeezed her tightly.
Brenda closed her eyes and took in his scent. He pulled her out looking down into her eyes. Brenda swallowed hard and without saying a word she grabbed both glasses of water and moved around him. Dylan watched as she joined her parents. He took a deep breath and looked at the ceiling. Thank god for the Walsh's. he thought, Dylan knew if it wasn't for their little surprise he would be out on his ass right now. He went and joined Brenda sitting close to her and wrapping his arm around her. She looked up at him giving him a fake and looking back at her parents.
"So where are you guys staying?" Brenda asked to get her mind off the man she wanted to punch.
Jim and Cindy smiled and looked at each other, "Well honey…we were hoping we could stay here for the night. We have a reservation at the Waldorf but they were full for the night and your father got to use his points but the days were limited, so here we are. We don't want to be bother, we can just sleep on the couch." Cindy smiled naively.
Brenda looked at Dylan and then back at her parents, "Don't be ridiculous, the couch pulls out, you can have our room, we will sleep out here."
"Absolutely." Dylan agreed.
"No." Jim shock his head, "Brenda your pregnant, you guys stay in your room, we will be fine out here, its only for one night."
"Right…you wont even know we are here." Cindy said smiling.
Brenda slowly nodded and took a deep breath, this night was getting weirder and weirder.
After deciding to order in some take out and hit the hay Brenda said goodnight to her parents and made her way in her bedroom closing the door. She slowly changed into her pajamas and laid down facing away from Dylan. Dylan sat up looking over at her as he smirked. He laid down wrapping his arms around her from behind. Brenda rolled her eyes and sat up, "Just because I let you kiss me, sit by me, touch me and sleep with me doesn't mean things are back to normal." Brenda said pointing at him.
Dylan put up his hands defensively and smirked, "Ok…Ok."
Brenda exhaled as she laid back down. Brenda jumped as she felt the tingling sensation and movement. She sat up quickly putting her hand on her stomach. "Oh my God, that was amazing. It feels like butterflies but more intense." She grabbed Dylan's hand and placed it on the side of her belly. She smiled as it did it again. "Did you feel it?"
A wide smile spread across his face as he slowly nodded in shock, "You have never felt it before?"
She smiled at him and shock her head. She propped her pillows up a bit and leaned back waiting for it to happen again. She kept her hand over Dylan's as he cuddled into her.
"Woah, what is he doing in there?" Dylan said looking down.
"He?" Brenda looked at him with a smirk.
Dylan shrugged, "I don't know."
They got serious as they sat in silence. The baby was fluttering up a storm and they were just enjoying it. Dylan slowly looked at her, "I really do love you baby."
Brenda exhaled and looked at him biting the inside of her cheek. She nodded and leaned over turning off the light. She wasn't going to say it back and she did not forgive him but no matter what Dylan was the father of her baby, he was going to be in her life forever whether she wanted him to be or not. And no matter how mad Brenda was at him, he had her wrapped so tightly around his heart it scared her.
Ok before the reviews start, I just wanted to say, Brenda may seem OOC right now and its because she is pregnant, she is feeling insecure, she really doesn't have any other friends in New York but Dylan and I think even though the T/D thing might not have been THAT bad she is over exaggerating because well she honestly thought she could trust him. Now the Walsh's are there for a WEEK and even though Brenda said those things to Dylan about Jim being right, she doesn't really want them to think them. So anyway review away and PLEASE give me feedback. I want to know if you hate it, if something should be different, if you think Brenda and Dylan should move past this quickly….break up? I want to know it all. Thanks for reading, I have some B/K stuff planned and more B/D planned up next.
