Bray's Point Of View
I walked into the house, it'd been a few days since Ivy had the meeting with her brother. I have to admit, Ivy is very happy lately. She can't stop talking about how wonderful it is, to have her brother around. I love seeing Ivy this happy, I really do but I don't know, I still don't trust him for the life of me I can't bring myself to trust him yet. And anytime I bring up having him checked out Ivy freaks out so of course I don't want to do anything to upset Ivy.
I smiled at Ivy, leaning forward to give her a kiss on the cheek. "You're back early." Ivy smiled up at me. "How did it go with Luke?" She raised a brow.
We'd been in mediation with the court, trying get the case closed. Luke was ready to be finished with the whole ordeal. "Pretty well, Luke is going to plead guilty to handling an unlicensed gun it's going to be a hefty fine but it will be all over shortly." I nodded.
"That's good." Ivy smiled, snuggling into my arms when I sat down next to her. "Then life can get back to normal between everyone. And you and Luke can work on your friendship." Ivy added.
I sighed and shrugged. "I guess."
"You are going to work on your friendship right?" Ivy looked up at me, raising a brow.
"Yeah, I am." I nodded.
"You still seem so put off by it." Ivy said softly.
"I know, I just am still finding it hard to trust him." I admitted.
"I know you will be so much happier when he's back in your life." Ivy stated.
"I'm happy now." I shook my head. "With you." I added, giving her a kiss on the top of the head.
Ivy smiled. "Well, I'm happy to hear that. But I still know how much Luke means to you." Ivy stated.
"He's my family." I nodded.
"See." Ivy smiled. "I hope you work things out, you guys are too good of friends to let anything come between you. He's apologized to you, and I believe him." Ivy added.
I nodded, and kissed the top of her head. "I'll get it." I smiled, hearing a knock on the door giving her a kiss before standing up and walking over to the door. I opened to the door to find Luke standing in front of me. "Hey." I said.
"Hey, umm can I talk to you?" Luke raised a brow.
"Sure, let's go to the kitchen." I nodded, stepping to the side to allow him to enter.
"Thanks." Luke nodded, and started to follow me to the kitchen. "Hey Ivy." Luke smiled slightly at Ivy.
"Hello." Ivy smiled back.
Once in the kitchen I turned to Luke. "So, what did you need to talk to me about?" I raised a brow.
"I did some digging." Luke stated.
"Digging?" I questioned, raising a brow.
"Yes, on Ivy's brother." Luke nodded. "Here is what I dug up." Luke handed me a file.
"I didn't tell you to do this." I shook my head, Ivy is going to flip out.
"I know, but I knew it'd put your mind at ease if you knew about him." Luke nodded. "He's been in trouble with the law from the time he was about 16, until like 3years ago, it looks like he went to a treatment, he was an alcoholic. He's been sober for over 2 years and he's cleaned up his life from the looks of things." Luke stated. "I also had this done, the day he met with Ivy for coffee I took his cup and Ivy's and had the DNA compared to make sure he really is her brother."
"Oh, my goodness." I shook my head. "Ivy is going to freak out." I said, taking the paper from his hands.
"I know, but at least it we will know for sure, there won't be any guessing." Luke said.
I took a deep breath and nodded opening it, I read it over and it said that Ivy and Dustin were infact related it was her brother. At least now I know that he is who he says he is, all I have to do is tell Ivy, I can't keep something like this from her. It looks like Luke actually has changed he's doing things to show his loyalty to me, and this shows me he's come around to Ivy also. He seems to get along well with her lately. So Ivy was right, I need to give him a chance and rebuild our friendship and that's what I'm going to start doing.
"Thanks for this." I looked up at Luke.
"Not a problem." Luke smiled slightly. "I also looked up to see where Summer was, to make sure she doesn't cause any more problems. She's back working the poll, and other things." Luke said, and I gave him a raised brow. "The strip club she works for, is also known for the strippers not just dancing but turning tricks. So it looks like she's not getting this wonderful life she thought she was going to get. The money she got from Mike didn't get her too far."
I shook my head and laughed slightly, well they say what goes around comes around. Summer thought she was going to have this perfect life, and was going to live this high life, but it looks like she didn't get anywhere near the life she thought she'd get. It serves her right, after what she did to Ivy, Now Ivy was the one who was living this wonderful life with me, and Summer is turning tricks and stripping for a living.

Ivy's Point Of View
I walked back into the bedroom, after taking my shower. I threw my hair up into a ponytail and decided to climb on the bed and watch some TV, while waiting for Bray to get back, he was grabbing a few things from the store, he'd been gone for about an hour and a half so I knew he'd be home any minute. I swear I know that man's schedule like the back of my hand.
I pulled the covers over myself turning the TV on, perfect timing it was the start of Jeepers Creeper 2, on of my favorite scary movies. Not better then the first but still pretty damn good.
I was about 15 minutes into the movie when Bray walked through the door. "Hello beautiful." Bray smiled climbing up next to me giving me a kiss on the cheek. "What are you watching?" Bray raised a brow.
"Jeepers Creepers 2." I smiled up at him.
Bray laughed and shook his head. "You and your scary movies, at least I know tonight you'll be extra close when we go to bed. You always cling so tightly to me when you watch scary movies." Bray laughed slightly. "Not that I'm complaining." Bray smirked.
I laughed and shook my head, snuggling into his arms as he laid down. I looked over at the bedside table noticing a bunch of papers he'd laid down before climbing in. "What's all that?, you said you weren't bringing work into bed anymore." I looked up to him.
Bray sighed and nodded reaching over to hand me the papers that were in a file. "It's not work." Bray said softly.
I raised a brow, as I opened to file wondering what on earth it could be, I got my answer when I started to read it. It was my brothers records, everything on my brother. His police records, his school records. Anything that could be dug up. I shook my head, I told him not to do this, damn it I told him not to. "How could you?" I growled looking over at him. "I told you not to do this Bray." I shook my head, pulling the covers off me trying to get out of the bed, Bray pulling me back into the bed.
"Let me explain please." Bray pleaded. "Just let me explain everything." Bray sighed.
I pulled my arm out of his grasp and sighed. "Fine, explain then." I said, crossing arms over my chest.
"Today, Luke came over and he brought me all of this, I didn't tell him to do it. I swear Ivy." Bray sighed. "Luke thought it'd put my mind at ease if I knew about your brothers past, that I could put all my doubts to the side. I swear my love, it was not my idea for him to do this, or anything else he did." Bray sighed.
"What else did he do?" I raised a brow.
"He had your DNA tested against Dustin's. The results are in there if you want to look." Bray sighed.
"I know he's my brother, I don't need a damn test. Just like I told you." I spat.
"I know, I know. But Luke thought it'd put everything to rest, I'd know and I could stop worrying about something bad happening." Bray shook his head.
"Well did it?" I raised a brow.
"Yes, it helped me to trust him more, now that I know he really is who he says he is." Bray sighed. "Look, I know you didn't want this, but it's done and over now, I can't do anything about it. I didn't want to keep this from you, because I don't ever want to keep anything from you. I love you Ivy, you know I love you more then anything in this world. Look I'm sorry that this upset you, I really am. But I'm not sorry that it makes me feel better to know you are safe, that he is who he said he is. I can't turn off this need to protect you at any cost. I'm sorry but you are the most important thing in my life, and making sure you are safe and happy is my life." Bray said, reaching out to caress my cheek softly.
I sighed and nodded, I can't be mad at him or Luke really. at least he told me and didn't keep it from me, at least now we can move on. No more second guessing my brother. I wrapped my arms around him. "I love you Bray Wyatt." I smiled, giving him a soft kiss on the lips.
"And I love you Ivy Wesley." Bray smiled, moving my hair out of my face. "So what do you say, from now on we live in the present, and not in the past. I'll do everything I can to welcome Dustin with open arms, he's your brother so now he's apart of this family." Bray smiled.
I kissed him again. "I'd love that, I'd love that so much." I smiled. "From now on, it's all about our future, and I can just tell. We are going to have a wonderful, beautiful future together." I smiled, god this man has been such a god send to me. This man is unlike any other man I've ever met in my life, that's why he's not just my savoir, but he's the love of my life.
A Note From The Author: Okay, I know that was an abrupt end, but I kinda didn't have anywhere else to go with it. It headed in a different way, then I thought it would but I'm still happy with it, I actually really love this story. I did want to kind of the whole brother thing to rest, and we know what direction people are heading in. I didn't want to leave anything hanging.
