"Daddy, you wants more pwizza?" Lincon asked waving a slice in the air. Brett laughed as he grabs it from him. 

"Thank you, buddy!" Brett said. I got up and placed my plate in the sink. I sighed looking out the window. My phone started going off and I grabbed it out of my pocket. 

"Hello?" I asked. 

"Hey, princess!" Creek said. I smiled. 

"Hey, Creek!" I said turning around watching Lincon run to the bathroom to clean his hands and Brett getting up from the table. 

"Hey, is Brett still with you?" He asked. 

"Yeah!" I said. 

"Ok, well something came up and he needs to either stay at your place or a hotel!" He said. Brett places his plate in the sink and stands next to me. His arm brushes mine and I move an inch away. 

"Yeah, he can stay on the couch. But only if you promise to tell me what came up later!" I said as Dean walks into the house. 

"Yeah, no problem cupcake!" Creek said. I said goodbye and hung up. Dean walks up to me and smiles. 

"What's going on?" He asked. I sighed loudly. 

"Ah, there's pizza on the table!" I said. He looks back. 

"I see that, when's he going home?" Dean asked nodding toward Brett who I didn't even notice left the room. 

"Ah, problem with that. He kinda has to stay!" I said. 

"Please don't play with me!" He said leaning on the fridge. 

"I wish I were but Creek called!" I said. He nods. "But you can still stay!" I said. He walks up to me. 

"Yeah, I wouldn't dream of leaving!" He said. I looked at the mirror behind him and Brett was behind a wall listening. I watched his eyes look in the same mirror. I needed him but Dean has been there for me for 5 years. I was confused. Dean went to lean in for a kiss and I moved. "Come on Mel!" He said. 

"You were the one to call it off until I got my head straight. Remember? How can I do that when every time I'm next to you, you pull me into your arms? I don't want to confuse Lincon if he comes in and sees. Please understand I'm not trying to hurt you!" I said. 

"I understand baby girl. Maybe it would be better off if I just went home for the night?" He said. I shook my head. 

"No, I want you to stay!" I said. He smiles. 

"As do I, but it's only a night and I will be back in the morning to drop Lincon off at school while you get ready for work!" He said. I smile. I walk up to him and place a kiss on his cheek. 

"Thank you!" I said. 

"You're welcome!" He said. He walked past the table. 

"Take some pizza with you!" I said. He looks at me and smiles. 

"Put it up for me!" He said.
