Chapter 32

Sunday morning Brandon gently wakes up from some noises occurring in the living room and kitchen. He reaches over to Kelly to realize that her side of the bed is cold.

Then he hears Kelly's voice softly saying, "Sammy you ready to wake up your father?"

"Yep," Sammy says excitedly.

"You have Father's day card you made?" Kelly ask because she's nervous herself, she didn't see the card in his hand.

"It's right here Mommy," Sammy shows her.

"Good, let's go in quietly," Kelly whispers. Brandon closes his eyes to make it look like he's still asleep, but he can't help to hide his small smile. As Sammy opens the door, it squeaks a little bit, and then he tiptoes over to the other side of Brandon and climbs up into the bed like he has done so many times with his mother.

He whisper's into Brandon's ear, "Happy Father's Day Daddy."

Brandon opens his eyes to find Sammy's face next to his and simply says, "Thank you, I love you

"I love you too Daddy. I'm really happy you're my Daddy and that I finally get to have a Daddy. Here I made this card for you," Sammy hands him the card. Brandon opens it up to find a picture of him and Sammy playing catch with a baseball.

He reads, "To the best DADDY in the whole world. I'm really thankful that I get to have a Daddy now that I can play baseball with. Mommy isn't good with a ball. I love you. Love, Sammy."

Brandon pulls Sammy in for a hug, "Thank you, have you had breakfast yet?"

Kelly finally speaks up from the door, "That's what I'm here for." Brandon looks up to find Kelly holding a cup of coffee.

She walks over and sits on the bed to give Brandon a light kiss, "Happy first Father's day, Brandon. I love you."

Brandon takes her hand as she sits down on the bed besides him, "I love you, too."

"Go get dressed Brandon, we're going out for breakfast, I hear its tradition." Kelly says.


Brandon walks into the living room; he can't believe his eyes his father and mother are there. "Dad; Mom, what are you doing all the way out here," Brandon ask curious.

"Well, it's Father's day. I wanted to spend the day with my two kids, especially one that I haven't seen on Father's Day for a long time. I've had no one wake me up early to take me out to breakfast," Jim explains.

"Happy Father's Day DAD," Brandon says as he gives his dad a hug, "When did you two get here?"

"We got in late last night, so we stayed in a hotel. Your sister and Kelly picked us up early this morning," Jim explains.

"Well, who's hungry?" Dylan asks. They all go out for breakfast and then spent the day around the house relaxing and telling old Father's Day stories, making Kelly very happy that her son gets to celebrate Father's Day in ways she never did.


Once they arrived back in LA Monday afternoon they immediately go back to the house. Sammy goes in the backyard to run around and goes to bug Silver in her apartment. After Brandon and Kelly carried their entire luggage into the house they both sit down onto the couch because they were exhausted from traveling all day.

"Hey come here soon to be Mrs. Walsh," Brandon says referring to Kelly. Kelly lets out a small sigh through a grin on her face as she readjusts herself against Brandon allowing him to wraps his arms around her.

"Well, that was a good trip, although I'm so tired from the traveling," Kelly says.

"Yeah me too, but it's now my favorite trip to anywhere," Brandon says as he lifts Kelly's left hand to kiss her ring finger.

"So, it even beats Belize," Kelly asks.

"Yep," Brandon replies.

"Japan,"

"Yep,"

"France,"

"Yep,"

"What about New Orleans," Kelly asks testing him now.

"hmm…it's close because I got to see you, but I didn't get to leave with you," Brandon replies.

"Good answer," Kelly asks giving him a small kiss.

"So how long do you think it'll take us to plan the wedding?" Brandon asks.

"Well assuming it's still going to stay really small and Donna secretly designed a wedding dress and tuxes for us a couple of years ago; it shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks," Kelly replies.

"Wait, Donna did what a couple of years ago?" Brandon asks perplexed.

"After she realized that I had refused to move on when she and David tried to set me up for blind dates, she had started to design what our wedding would look like. She only told me a couple of weeks ago when she stopped by at school for lunch. I didn't believe her until she showed me the designs, they're really beautiful," Kelly says ended with a yawn.

"Well I see, then hopefully it shouldn't take long we should get started on it tomorrow, because right now I'm thinking we should take a nap right here." Brandon says also with a yawn.

Kelly responds, "I think my eyes are already closed."


Tuesday night June 22nd, Brandon, Kelly, Sammy, Steve, Janet, Andrea, David, Donna, Jim and Cindy gather at the Peach Pit for a special celebratory dinner that Nat prepared for in honor of Brandon's and Kelly's engagement. For the next three weeks, Brandon and Kelly plan the wedding and Donna is there practically everyday more than willing to help.
