Anyways, this is the second part to the last story and I hope you enjoy :) Also, my twentieth story, woo hoo!

Summary – Greg tells Morgan about his scars. Greg/Morgan (Branders?)

Scared

As soon as Nick left, Greg picked up the phone to call Morgan. It was best his girlfriend heard this from him and not Nick. Morgan will understand, won't she? Greg thought as he anxiously walked up and down with the phone and bit his nails to try and distract him. She wouldn't get scared, would she? Greg hoped not because the thought of losing Morgan was…unbearable. They may have only been officially dating three weeks but Greg…dare he say it… loved her more than he'd ever loved anyone. He just hoped the feeling was mutual.

"Hello?" said the sweet and chirpy voice that always made Greg's heart beat faster and made him feel more at ease. He relaxed just a little.

"H-hey Morgan" Greg said sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. He was starting to think he shouldn't do this over the phone. This was something the young woman needed to see.

"Oh hey sweetie" Morgan replied, the tone in her voice suggesting she'd perked up a little.

Nick had not gotten back to the lab yet and so Morgan hadn't had chance to talk to him. Ever since Greg's strange reaction she'd been worrying about him seamlessly and found herself doing any jobs around the lab to keep herself occupied, so as not to think about it.

"Could you…could you come over after shift?" Greg asked quickly "There's something I…I need to tell you…or rather show you"

"Sure no problem" Morgan replied, but Greg could tell there was an under layer of concern in her voice. Greg felt really guilty; he hated making the caring woman feel that way.

"Morgan…I'm ok you know" he said reassuringly. "And I always will be, as long as I have you" he said trying hard to not let his voice wobble as he fought to bite back his tears. He was so scared that after revealing his scars, she would leave him just as so many girls had before.

Morgan's heart melted, she couldn't believe how perfect her boyfriend truly was "Good I'm glad, and don't worry, I'm not going anywhere" she said as if she had almost heard Greg's fears.

A few hours later and Morgan was nervously making her way over to Greg's apartment. After they both got call outs, she hadn't had the time to talk to Nick and see what he had discovered, but by the sounds of it this was going to be hard for Greg and he wanted to tell her himself. Morgan swore to be supportive, understanding, no matter what Greg had to say. Greg was the sweetest guy she had ever known and he treated her like none of her previous boyfriends had. Ever since she had met Greg, the blond had known she'd been slowly but surely falling in love with the sandy haired man.

She parked outside Greg's apartment block and quickly made her way to his door. When Greg answered he looked a little pale, unwell even, like he was scared of something.

"Greg what's wrong?" she asked with deep concern as the older man pulled her gently inside.

Greg led them over to the couch and sat looking at Morgan, with both her hands firmly gripped in his as if he feared she may disappear.

"Morgan I…I have never felt so strongly about someone as I have you. You mean the world to me, the one bit of happiness I've been waiting for this whole time." Greg said looking into her crystal blue eyes, they were sparkling from tears. "That's why this is the hardest time I've had to do this"

"Oh God" Morgan said clapping a hand over her mouth. She feared the worst. He's breaking up with me.

"About ten years ago now, when I worked in DNA…" Greg started cautiously. Morgan seemed to ease a little. That was not she was expecting. "There was an accident. Catherine put an unknown substance near a hotplate she didn't know was turned on. It was in my lab and…it exploded with me stood just inches away. I was sent flying through the glass wall"

"What?!" Morgan exclaimed in horror and shock "Oh My God Greg" she said pulling him tightly towards her into a hug "Why didn't you tell me!?" she couldn't bear the thought, the thought of the man she cared about so much being so scared and hurt.

"It's not exactly my favourite subject" Greg mumbled. "But listen…this is important" he said pulling away again, Morgan looked scared beyond belief and they hadn't even known each other back then. That was one of the reasons Greg loved her, because Morgan was always concerned. "I went to hospital with severe burn injuries to my back and…" Greg choked up a little "Th-they had to graft some of my sk-skin back together and now I have these…disgusting scars and wrinkled patches on my back." He sniffed as some tears dropped "and they're never going to go away."

Morgan's eyes went wide. Now she understood. She too let tears slip as the realisation hit her. Greg, so scared of scaring her with these scars. These scars he had to carry for the rest of his life, she couldn't even begin to imagine what that was like.

"You should…" Greg said coughing slightly and feeling really awkward "You should…erm…see them" he turned his back to her and slowly started to pull up the back of his shirt with shaky hands.

As more scars and distorted skin was revealed, Morgan grew more and more upset. Not because of the scars, but because of the pain they were causing Greg.

Greg cringed and squeezed his eyes shut, lowering his head to the side. "So many girls I've cared about have left because of this, because it freaked them out. Then again luckily some of them were too drunk to notice" he added with a humourless laugh. He wanted to know what Morgan was thinking, was she scared? Outraged? Disgusted? "I understand if you want to leave too…" Greg said lowering his shirt again "I'm a freak after all…I feel like a freak" he sobbed turning back to look at Morgan "Morgan please, please don't be scared of me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't want to scare you away."

Then, Much to Greg's surprise, Morgan lunged forward and passionately kissed him, placing a hand behind his head and pushing his lips onto hers. Greg had never felt so much relief in his life. "I don't care." Morgan said momentarily pulling away "I don't care about the scars Greg, I love you" Greg was thunderstruck, this was not the reaction he'd been expecting "I can't believe you'd ever think I'd be scared of you, you're the sweetest guy there is. As for leaving you over something like that…well not now not ever" she rested her forehead on his "you will always be handsome to me, no matter what. You are so brave, you are not, repeat not a freak and don't you dare think that ever again" she said with tears in her eyes, that had been the most upsetting part.

"Thank you" Greg said smiling and almost laughing in relief "thank you so much. I knew you would understand, you're too kind not too"

"It's ok sweetie. And besides, they kind of make you look dangerous" she said tracing a finger along his chest "and that's pretty hot"

Greg laughed and they kissed again, Greg had never felt more comfortable with a woman than he did now, but then he remembered something. Pulling away he looked once more into Morgan's deep blue eyes and saw the woman he wanted to always be close to.

"By the way… I love you too" he said with more meaning than he had ever before. Morgan grinned.

Scars were in the past, but Greg and Morgan were each other's present and undoubtedly each other's future.

So basically I hope this was ok. I really wanted it to be sweet and not creepy XD anyway I love Morgan and Greg as a couple! Don't you!? ;)
