Part 15
***fast forward a month***

You woke to the feeling of an arm draped around your waist pulling you closer to the person whom the arm belonged to. Your back was pressed against his chest as he placed a light kiss on the back of your shoulder.

"Good morning beautiful." Ge placed another kiss on the crook of your neck before giving a light nip on your neck.

"Mmm...good morning handsome..." you rolled over to look at the hazel eyes looking back into your own.

"What do you say to some breakfast?"

You place a kiss on his lips, "I would LOVE to, BUT...I need to get home to Rose."

He lets out an aggravated sigh and loosens his grip on you.

"What?" You ask, although you already knew why he was upset.

"When do I get to meet her? Why haven't I yet?"

"Brock, we've been over this. I'm not introducing her to anyone until I know that it's going somewhere. And as much as I've LOVED spending time with you and getting to know you, it's only been a month. And not even half of that have we spent even near each other...just please understand. She's already had to move away from her dad and make new friends. I don't want her to get to love someone and have them end up leaving...And I know that she would love you."

He couldn't help but smile in the slightest at your last comment.

"I know it's only been a month, but I hate not getting to spend more time with you and I don't even get to know ALL of you without getting to know her too."

You had never really thought of it that way, but...you didn't want Rose to get hurt in all of this. She was already upset she hadn't gotten to see JJ hardly at all, but maybe twice over the last month. Jensen and Daneel's separation was going worse than the last time, but still neither one had filed for divorce (as far as you knew).

"I PROMISE to be on my best behavior. I won't even hold your hand to give her any ideas. I can just be your friend that you introduce."

"Brock...please, if you can't be ok with this, then I think we need to end this right now before we get in any deeper. And I REALLY don't want to, but you have to respect my decision-"

"I do y/n...I just hate that she's already gotten to know everyone else, but not me."

"But you mean more than everyone else and if things went bad, you'd probably be gone for good. I can't do that to her Brock."

"I know, I know...come here." He pulled you back into him.

"I can wait...I just feel like you haven't introduced us because you don't WANT this to go anywhere..."

You rolled onto your side to prop on your elbow and get a better look at him.

"What would make you say that?"

"Well...I dunno...it's stupid..."

You reached to take his hand in yours, "Brock, tell me..."

"I just feel like a part of you is still holding out for Jensen..."

****Flashback to the night he asked you the question****

"What the HELL did you just ask me?!"

You couldn't believe he just asked you that. You felt that he was placing the decision in your hands to be made. You weren't sure if that's what he meant to do, but with the alcohol in your system you were going to take it how you wanted.

"I don't know what to y/n! I can't help how I feel and I feel so lost. No matter what I choose, I'll end up losing in some way..."

You felt for him, you did, but you had to make this decision for yourself, by yourself. And he had to do make this decision on his own. Sure, he could get input and feedback, but HE ultimately had to make it. You really didn't feel comfortable telling him one or the other, especially since your opinion wasn't unbiased at all. When you REALLY thought about it, no bullshit...you DID want him to get divorced. You wanted to have a shot at making him happy, but you couldn't do that to them. You had grown to love all of them and you just couldn't be an influencing factor in their lives like that.

"I know...I know you feel Jensen, but how can you put that kind of pressure on me? How could you seriously ask me to help influence your decision? I understand you want input and some kind of 'guiding light' or whatever, but I CAN'T be that for you. I just can't...I don't want to feel responsible in any shape or form for what happens...I lo-...I've grown to love ALL of you and I can't make that decision for you, nor can I even give you any idea...my best advice...take a real hard look at everything. Your family, your friends, but most of all yourself. I know it's selfish and it sucks, but nothing and I mean NOTHING is going to work out if you don't make yourself happy."

He looked down as if contemplating what you had just said.

"Jensen...I...I want you to be happy more than anything. So if that means cutting me out to make things easier for you and Daneel then I completely understand. It would suck and pretty much kill me, but if it made you hap-"

You were cut off by a pair of lips on your own again. You wanted to break away, but your deep darkness won over and you kissed him back. You wanted to show him how you felt in one kiss. You both pulled away breathless.

"I can't do this to you and Daneel. I do...I do love you, but if Daneel makes you happy, then do whatever it takes to make it work, but...if she doesn't...The only way for your life to work out in a good way, is to be happy. So if something or someone is in the way of that or doesn't make you happy anymore...then get rid of it...that's all I can tell you."

You cupped his cheek in your hand and he turned to give your palm a light kiss that sent a jolt all the way up your arm.

"Come on, you should get back to your room before Daneel freaks out and comes looking for you."

"Thank you...I...I still don't know what to do, but...thank you..."

"Jensen..." you took his hands in yours at your room door." I will support you, no matter what you choose. Don't worry about anyone else, but you. No one around you is going to be happy if you aren't happy yourself, ok?"

You gave him one last big embrace before sending him on his way to his room.

***end flashback***

You arrived home to find Rose and your sister outside in the yard playing frisbee.

"Hey!"

"Mommy!"

"Were you a good girl for your aunt?"

"Of course she was. The REAL question is, was MOMMY a good girl?" Your sister started to laugh and snicker at you as you lightly shoved her.

"Me?" You placed your hand on your chest in a mock insulted fashion. "Of course I was...I've done enough bad; I can't afford anymore."

"I think you can, especially if they're hot." You shoved at your sister again.

"Come on, let's get something for lunch ladies. I'm STARVING!"

You all decided to go to the same little pizza joint you had gone to with Jensen and JJ months ago. Upon entering you were greeted by a little person running towards you and Rose.

"Rose!" It was little miss JJ herself.

"JJ! I've missed you!"

"Hey y/n." You'd know that voice anywhere. It still crept into your dreams and they were never bad ones.

"Hi...Jensen. How have you been?"

"Uh...I've been ok...actually...can I talk to you for a minute?"
