A/N: A special thanks for the lovely reviews I'm receiving, thank you for you guys' advice, tips and ideas. I will be sure to take them all into consideration :D To be honest I thought I was the only one in the PeterxMelissa fandom, it's nice to know I'm not alone XD

"He's a great guy Dani but Scott can't stand him," Melissa sat at her work desk and confessed to her co-worker.

"He sounds great," Her dear friend responded, "I had the same thing happen to me. My daughter, Emma, didn't even know her dad but when I met Liam all hell broke loose with her. I finally fell into my motherly instincts and broke it off with him."

Melissa sighed.

"Emma was only fourteen and I was letting her dictate my life," Dani went on, "I went back to being lonely and she went back to all her boyfriends. I had no say so in her relationships but she had a say so in mine. I finally called Liam and he took me back, he understood what I was going through since he had a daughter, Catelyn, who was Emma's age. We eventually got married and now we have a two year old son."

Melissa smiled, "How old are you girls?"

"Seventeen, they act like twins now."

"I'm glad things worked out for you," Melissa stated.

"Melissa, you need to learn from my mistake, don't break it off with Peter no matter what. I was fortunate enough to have Liam understand me but not all men are like that. Emma now calls Liam dad and Catelyn calls me mom. Emma hated him at first and Catelyn hated me but once we became a family they adapted to life like that, so would Scott."

Melissa nodded, "Okay," Fighting motherly instincts and listening to the advice from a dear friend was difficult, but deep down inside she knew she was right, it was her life and if Peter could complete it then why not allow it?

Melissa eventually got off work and made her way home, her eyes were fixed on the road but she was lost in thought. Dani's word stuck out to her, this was her life not Scott's but at the same time she was Scott's mother and she was a mother before she was a lover.

'Ding!

Melissa looked down at the new text she had gotten:

Just checking up on you, how was work?
- Peter

A smile slid across her face, it felt nice to be cared for, to be loved again. She felt safe around Peter, she felt protected, a feeling she hadn't felt in a long time.

Pulling up in her drive way and walking inside, Melissa typed a quick message:

I had a good day, and you?
- Melissa

She put her phone away, "Scott!" She called out for her son.

"Mom, your home," He grinned but it quickly faded, "Can we talk?"

"Sure honey," Melissa sat down and patted the seat beside her.

Scott hesitated slightly but finally found his words, "Mom, you can't be around Peter," He stated pretty matter of fact, "He's dangerous, you just don't understand."

Melissa was slightly taken back but not surprised, "No Scott, I do understand."

His brown eyes lit up, "Good," He let out a sigh of relief.

"I understand he's not your father but Scott this is my life," Melissa teared up slightly but regained control of her emotions, "I have been alone for ten years, you have no idea what that's like and I pray you never will," Melissa said soothingly to her son searching in his eyes to understand where she's coming from, "When I'm around Peter I fell safe and loved," She caressed his cheek but Scott pulled back.

"You don't get it, your not safe!" He seemed genuinely worried for her.

Melissa went from soothing mother to quite upset with the fact that Scott insisted she was not safe around Peter, "Scott!" He acted as if he knew something about Peter she did not and it annoyed her. In a whispered tone a tear raced down her cheek, "You do not know him like I do."

Every part of Scott wanted to scream 'You're in danger! Run! He doesn't love you!' but Scott held his tongue.

Melissa stood up, "I'm going for a drive."

"Mom!" Scott reached out to her.

"I've held my peace and counted to three."

Scott let out a heavy sigh as his mother walked away.

Melissa got in her car and started crying, cranking it she slowly drove away into the night. Her heart broke at the words of her son, her mind insisted on her being a good mother and listening to him but her heart cried out a louder noise that she listened too.

Pulling up to an apartment Melissa attempted to dry her tears, she got out and knocked the door. No answer. She knocked again.

"Yes?" Peter opened the door and looked genuinely surprised to see her, "Melissa?"

"I'm so sorry for dropping in uninvited," She began but Peter interrupted her.

"Come in," He saw her puffy eyes and could tell she had been crying.

Melissa looked around, his apartment looked immaculate, not a thing out of place.

"Are you okay?" His voice was filled with concern.

Melissa told him the whole story about Scott, oddly enough Peter was shifty by Scott's warnings but Melissa didn't care.

"Well your welcome to stay here as long as you like," Peter wiped away her tears, "Please take a seat," He gestured.

Melissa sat down on his couch as Peter walked into the small kitchen and pulled out a bottle of wine. He poured two glasses and walked back to Melissa, "Care for a drink?"

Taking a glass, Melissa let out a loud sigh, she was still in her scrubs from work and was just plain tired.

Peter kneeled down and gently untied her sneakers and put them aside, his lips brushed against her knee and his hands rubbed her thigh.

Melissa looked down at him, a weak smile was planted upon her face and a small whispered escaped her lips, "Thanks."

Peter leaned up, his lips brushed across her neck, her cheeks and her forehead. Finally his lips met her's, as they embraced in a flawless kiss. They steadily drifted to Peter's bed when Peter stopped. He gazed down at her as the silvery moonlight gently laced her in a fluorescent glow. His hands felt warm as they caressed her back, her shoulders and her face.

"I belong to you," He whispered in her ear, "But only if this is what you want."

Melissa could scarcely breathe, "I do want it," She pulled him in even closer and returned his kisses with her own.

Peter and Melissa's eyes locked as their souls met and became one. Time and space itself seemed to have vanished as Melissa lost herself in Peter's love. Melissa wept with sheer joy as she revealed the safety and warmth of his arms, awestruck by the wonder of perfectly belonging to each other alone. Peter was now vulnerable with her seemingly for the first time and she with him.

On that glorious night Melissa belonged to Peter and no other, the man she loved and he belonged to her. She lay content as the moon crawled across the sky and sank below the horizon.

"I want to be with you, this way forever," Peter played with her hair, "Every night, the same way we are right now."

Tears slowly escaped and raced down her cheeks as her brown eyes sparkled but not a word slipped from her mouth.

Peter leaned down and kissed each teardrop.

"I love you Peter Hale, I love you so much."
