p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"The morning sun coming in through the window in Brian's bedroom was blinding. He needed coffee, maybe two cups. No, scratch that he needed a pot because whatever Anita gave him last, she had to have cooked up in Tijuana. He turned to look at the alarm clock and was shocked when two blue eyes were staring back at him./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Good morning Sunshine." Brian whispered./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Good morning Brian." Justin simply replied./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""What time is it? I have to get to work by eleven." asked Justin./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""It's almost ten, I could drop you off if you'd like there's somewhere I have to be."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Justin thought about telling Brian what he did for a living but nope that was not important. He wanted to get to know Brian and let him fall for him, then when he told him what he did for a living it wouldn't bother him. Who was he kidding? Brian would be pissed that he lied and then they'd break up. He had to help that kid. Speaking of him, where the hell was he? Matter of fact where were either one of them?/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian had disappeared up the stairs and Justin couldn't help himself, he did what anyone would do, he plundered. All he really knew was that he was "Him" and that the kid at the store was his son. He couldn't even remember what the kid said his name was and all he had gotten from Brian was a Brian. So he quickly went for the mail on the island in the kitchen, and flipped through it. When he saw the name, he thought he would go nuts. Brian Kinney! Brian fucking Kinney! Just like that, images flashed before his eyes of the two women and the old man. The accident, the lights, doing everything that he could and then he remembered sneaking in to view their bodies. Damn he fucked him, and he was the one who stole his family. God, Jesus really did hate him didn't he?/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan sat comfortably in Debbie's kitchen. For the longest time she hated this woman. When Brian would get hurt or worse he'd run to her and she would take him in and be a mother to him. Why couldn't she do that? Why was she so closed off to her emotions? She didn't know but she did know that was a trait that her son picked up from her, everything else he gotten from Jack and because of that, it is why she feared for the children./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""You really can't be serious can you Joan?" Deb shouted./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""What? I'm doing the right thing, did you see his last "Boyfriend"?/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""What Eric was a very nice young man and he was talented at what he did."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Deb he was a tattoo artist and he was 24. Brian is a father now that is not the kind of person that he needs to have around his children. He can't just go around acting that way. He has made a name for himself around here. Everyone knows who Brian Kinney is and most of the time I'm more than proud to say that he is my son, he came from me but the further I move down the street, the words of him get more tainted and I feel dirty."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Before you do something like this Joan, before you get ready to fight him in court, think about what he might be feeling right now, not only did he lose his sister he lost Lindsay and Jack. He had finally forgiven his father for the hardships that he caused him as a child and I saw them together the past couple of months they were really becoming father and son."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Exactly. When Brian and Jack were together and he was sober, they were practically the same person and that is what scares me the most Deb. What is going to happen when Gus does something that Brian doesn't approve of? Am I suppose to stand back and watch Gus get hurt? I love that boy so much I can't let that happen."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Oh really, seems like it would be so easy for you, I mean didn't you do that all of Brian's life."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Debbie knew that maybe, just maybe she was being a bit harsh but it just got to her, that Joan didn't see what she was doing at a bad thing. She thought that Brian was destined to be like his father and she wanted Brian to be more like Michael but truth be told, Deb wanted Michael to be more like Brian. Confident, successful, and strong. Not that she didn't love her boy, it was just he could be whinny./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Justin couldn't keep the smile off his face, Brian was such a caring person. He had taken his shower and had given Justin a robe and toiletries and told him to take his time and he'd give him a ride. Justin still thought it was odd, that in this fine home with all this space, was no sign of actual children. Maybe the kid hadn't pointed at Brian and he'd just thought he had, but that wouldn't explain the what he had done to Brian's family. He took a long shower and tried to forget, soaking up the atmosphere, because he knew now that this would be the last time he'd be here. Justin quickly dried himself and went to the mirror. He wiped the steam from it, thinking, since he had practically looked through everything in the house, he might as well check out the medicine cabinet./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Justin was thrilled that so far all he found was six bottles and none of the first three had anything to do with sexual stimulants, so at least at Brian's age he could still get it up all on his own. Although Brian did have a lot of things for anti aging but that was something that he didn't need. Brian was gorgeous. He picked up one of the last three bottles and read what was on the label, he thought about his night with Brian. Nothing he did, pointed to the fact that he would need this, and then Justin picked up the next bottle and he thought he'd die./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Lose something?" Brian said obviously scaring Justin./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Justin turned around to see Brian standing there in a suit looking edible with a smirk on his face. He frantically try to control himself, he couldn't let on to Brian what he had found, that was none of his business and it wasn't like it was Aids medication, it was just something he'd never expected./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""I just have a bitch of a headache and I was seeing if you had any aspirin." Justin lied./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""No only got baby aspirin, but help yourself to some Tylenol."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""One Tylenol and I'll fall dead right here, I'm allergic."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""No one's allergic to Tylenol, that's what they give people who are allergic to everything else."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Well I am." Blushed Justin hoping Brian didn't realize what he had done./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian walked over to Justin, he didn't know why, he just had to touch him even though he was all wet and he didn't want to mess up his suit. He walked over and ran his hand through Justin's hair and leaned in for a kiss. He just had to taste him once more and fast./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Hurry up and get ready, I'll drop you off."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian was about to say something else, when he heard the buzzer sound and his mother announcing her arrival./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Stay here, I'll get rid of her."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan entered Brian's apartment and couldn't help but smile, the renovations that he had told her about were very good. He had bought the loft above his and now it was a two floor apartment. Maybe he could do this. Maybe he could make the transition into adulthood./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Dad we're back!" screamed Gus./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian could all ready tell that his mother was pissed, when he walked into view and she frowned because he was wearing a suit. He could spend time with his children and still wear a suit. Besides, they like going to Kinnetik, and his employees loved his family. He had to get her out of here before "Sunshine" came out. Oh, and he had to find out what "Sunshine's" actual name was./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Brian, I thought you were going to spend today with the kids?" asked Joan/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""I am mom, we have a fun day planned. We're going to go and find a Santa, and take some pictures, and then it's off to find a tree."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""A tree, you're going to put a tree here in your loft with lights and such?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""No mother, I'm going to put it outside. Where the fuck do you think it's going to be? It's Christmas and we've got to get some normalcy around here."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Gus had a bad dream last night Brian, and you need to talk to him about it."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian looked around to see if Gus was there, but he saw that he had gone upstairs. He took Liddie from his mother's arms before they continued there conversation./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""What kind of dream?" asked Brian/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""He said that he was in a house and you were gone. He didn't have any mommies and you were gone as well, he was all alone."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Well if that were to come true mother, we all know that it would be your fault."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Gus knew that his grandmother and father were about to get into it, so he decided to run upstairs to his father's room and eat some of his hidden candy. His father pretended like he cared about looking good, but under his bed he kept a chest of candies and cookies that he'd eat, when no one was looking. Gus was shocked when he came face to face with the elf from the store./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Sunshine?" Gus questioned./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Hey, how are you this morning?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""What the fuck are you doing here? In my dad's room?" Gus asked arching an eyebrow just like Brian./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""I was here talking to your dad, you know, trying to get information for Santa, so he could help you with your little problem."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Right, and I guess afterwards you're going to go and meet the Easter Bunny for some tea." Gus spat sarcastically./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Justin couldn't help but smile when this kid opened his mouth, he was adorable and just like Brian. God leaving them would be so hard. Justin was torn from his thoughts by the shouting from downstairs./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian paced back and forth with Liddie while he shouted at his mother./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Damn it mother! I am not a child, as you can see I'm holding my child and I can take care of them! Why are you doing this to me?!"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Brian, you are just not getting what I'm trying to do. I just want to keep them. You can see them anytime you want. I'm helping you, and then when you are well and in a good place, and are ready to take care of them you can have them back."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""You listen here Joan and you listen good, I had to put up with this shit with Melanie and Lindsay, but they are gone now and these kids are mine! I'm going to fight you on this. But right now we're going to paste on happy little faces, because it's Christmas and we're going to have a perfect holiday. But when it's over, it's over you get me Joan."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan was about to say something but she saw the twitching of that little vein in Brian's forehead. It reminded her a lot of Jack's. She would have to mark that down for future reference. She calmed down and was about to leave, when she saw Gus coming down the stairs with a blonde./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""What's going on here? You could hear the two of you all the way upstairs?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Sunshine, this is my mother, she was just leaving. Get your stuff we're about to go."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Brian Kinney, I know you don't have one of your "Dates" here, when you're children were coming over?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"The way she said date was not lost on Brian and he wasn't going to let her get away with this../p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""You will not speak to Sunshine that way, you got it mother!"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan looked from Brian to Justin and she couldn't help the smile that was trying to form on her face. Had he done it, had her baby grown up and gotten himself a man?/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Who is this Brian?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""He's no one, we're just leaving, come on mother I'll walk you out."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan was not about to let Brian leave the house with her grandchildren, with his latest conquest in the car with her children. She was going to have to say something and quick./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Brian I am not going to-/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Mrs. Kinney I'm so happy that you and I are finally getting to meet each other. I've been waiting for this a long time. I see where your daughter Melanie, got her looks from."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan couldn't stop the blush that crept up her cheeks, she always thought that Melanie and Brian looked like there father, but for this guy to say this, well it was nice to get a compliment and from someone so young./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Why thank you, Sunshine is it?" asked Joan How long have you know my Brian?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""I've known Brian, for about six months now and I've been dying to meet you and the rest of his family. But you know Brian, he likes to keep things a secret, and it's Justin only Brian gets to call me Sunshine."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Oh, oh my, so you and Brian are a couple?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Mother I don't think it's any of your fu-"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Yes! Brian and I are together." said Justin cutting Brian off./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Oh, well I think I'll join you all for breakfast and get to know you better."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Mom, Justin just got in and I don't think I need to spend my morning off with my-"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""We'd love to have you join us, isn't that right Gus?" Asked Justin looking at Gus hoping he'd get the hint./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Oh yea, come on daddy lets have breakfast with grandma and Sunshine."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Anything for you Gus," Brian replied unlocking his car door and placing Liddie in her car seat./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Awe Sunshine, a word over here before we leave dear."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Shit." Justin thought as he walked toward Brian./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"The morning sun coming in through the window in Brian's bedroom was blinding.

p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""No one's allergic to Tylenol, that's what they give people who are allergic to everything else."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Well I am." Blushed Justin hoping Brian didn't realize what he had done./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian walked over to Justin, he didn't know why, he just had to touch him even though he was all wet and he didn't want to mess up his suit. He walked over and ran his hand through Justin's hair and leaned in for a kiss. He just had to taste him once more and fast./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Hurry up and get ready, I'll drop you off."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian was about to say something else, when he heard the buzzer sound and his mother announcing her arrival./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Stay here, I'll get rid of her."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan entered Brian's apartment and couldn't help but smile, the renovations that he had told her about were very good. He had bought the loft above his and now it was a two floor apartment. Maybe he could do this. Maybe he could make the transition into adulthood./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Dad we're back!" screamed Gus./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian could all ready tell that his mother was pissed, when he walked into view and she frowned because he was wearing a suit. He could spend time with his children and still wear a suit. Besides, they like going to Kinnetik, and his employees loved his family. He had to get her out of here before "Sunshine" came out. Oh, and he had to find out what "Sunshine's" actual name was./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Brian, I thought you were going to spend today with the kids?" asked Joan/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""I am mom, we have a fun day planned. We're going to go and find a Santa, and take some pictures, and then it's off to find a tree."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""A tree, you're going to put a tree here in your loft with lights and such?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""No mother, I'm going to put it outside. Where the fuck do you think it's going to be? It's Christmas and we've got to get some normalcy around here."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Gus had a bad dream last night Brian, and you need to talk to him about it."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian looked around to see if Gus was there, but he saw that he had gone upstairs. He took Liddie from his mother's arms before they continued there conversation./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""What kind of dream?" asked Brian/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""He said that he was in a house and you were gone. He didn't have any mommies and you were gone as well, he was all alone."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Well if that were to come true mother, we all know that it would be your fault."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Gus knew that his grandmother and father were about to get into it, so he decided to run upstairs to his father's room and eat some of his hidden candy. His father pretended like he cared about looking good, but under his bed he kept a chest of candies and cookies that he'd eat, when no one was looking. Gus was shocked when he came face to face with the elf from the store./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Sunshine?" Gus questioned./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Hey, how are you this morning?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""What the fuck are you doing here? In my dad's room?" Gus asked arching an eyebrow just like Brian./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""I was here talking to your dad, you know, trying to get information for Santa, so he could help you with your little problem."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Right, and I guess afterwards you're going to go and meet the Easter Bunny for some tea." Gus spat sarcastically./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Justin couldn't help but smile when this kid opened his mouth, he was adorable and just like Brian. God leaving them would be so hard. Justin was torn from his thoughts by the shouting from downstairs./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Brian paced back and forth with Liddie while he shouted at his mother./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Damn it mother! I am not a child, as you can see I'm holding my child and I can take care of them! Why are you doing this to me?!"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Brian, you are just not getting what I'm trying to do. I just want to keep them. You can see them anytime you want. I'm helping you, and then when you are well and in a good place, and are ready to take care of them you can have them back."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""You listen here Joan and you listen good, I had to put up with this shit with Melanie and Lindsay, but they are gone now and these kids are mine! I'm going to fight you on this. But right now we're going to paste on happy little faces, because it's Christmas and we're going to have a perfect holiday. But when it's over, it's over you get me Joan."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan was about to say something but she saw the twitching of that little vein in Brian's forehead. It reminded her a lot of Jack's. She would have to mark that down for future reference. She calmed down and was about to leave, when she saw Gus coming down the stairs with a blonde./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""What's going on here? You could hear the two of you all the way upstairs?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Sunshine, this is my mother, she was just leaving. Get your stuff we're about to go."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Brian Kinney, I know you don't have one of your "Dates" here, when you're children were coming over?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"The way she said date was not lost on Brian and he wasn't going to let her get away with this../p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""You will not speak to Sunshine that way, you got it mother!"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan looked from Brian to Justin and she couldn't help the smile that was trying to form on her face. Had he done it, had her baby grown up and gotten himself a man?/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Who is this Brian?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""He's no one, we're just leaving, come on mother I'll walk you out."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan was not about to let Brian leave the house with her grandchildren, with his latest conquest in the car with her children. She was going to have to say something and quick./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Brian I am not going to-/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Mrs. Kinney I'm so happy that you and I are finally getting to meet each other. I've been waiting for this a long time. I see where your daughter Melanie, got her looks from."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;"Joan couldn't stop the blush that crept up her cheeks, she always thought that Melanie and Brian looked like there father, but for this guy to say this, well it was nice to get a compliment and from someone so young./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Why thank you, Sunshine is it?" asked Joan How long have you know my Brian?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""I've known Brian, for about six months now and I've been dying to meet you and the rest of his family. But you know Brian, he likes to keep things a secret, and it's Justin only Brian gets to call me Sunshine."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Oh, oh my, so you and Brian are a couple?"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Mother I don't think it's any of your fu-"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Yes! Brian and I are together." said Justin cutting Brian off./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Oh, well I think I'll join you all for breakfast and get to know you better."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Mom, Justin just got in and I don't think I need to spend my morning off with my-"/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""We'd love to have you join us, isn't that right Gus?" Asked Justin looking at Gus hoping he'd get the hint./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Oh yea, come on daddy lets have breakfast with grandma and Sunshine."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Anything for you Gus," Brian replied unlocking his car door and placing Liddie in her car seat./p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Awe Sunshine, a word over here before we leave dear."/p
p style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, tahoma, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f5fafa;""Shit." Justin thought as he walked toward Brian./p
