" are you sure you don't want to come with us? I don't like the idea of leaving you in your condition" Brian whined, while I checked off my mental list for the twentieth time making sure he wasn't forgetting anything.

" did you pack enough underwear?" I asked, completely ignoring him. My OCD was in high gear and he's been bugging me the past few weeks about my decision to stay behind while they went out on the road for a month. I appreciated the fact that he was worried about me but he was driving me crazy. And the thought of being stuck on a bus with five guys wasn't exactly at the top of my to do list. I heard him chuckle as I dumped his suitcase out on the bed with a defeated sigh.

" I told you just to let me pack for you, you practically just threw theses in here! They'll be all wrinkled!" I screeched in a panicked tone as I frantically began to re fold his clothes, making sure to arrange them perfectly back in his bag. I felt him rip the t shirt from my hand, but without missing a beat I grabbed another from the bed.

" Frankie, baby calm down" he softly said turning me to face him. I looked deep into his eyes and bit my lip to keep myself from crying. I knew they would all be leaving soon and I wasn't looking forward to it at all, but I knew they had to. So to try and keep myself from dwelling on it I've kept myself completely occupied with house hunting and putting Brian's house on the market. It's mostly just been Brian and I the past few weeks because zacky has been tied up selling his house and getting his affairs in order. I was snapped back to reality as I felt Brian's shirt being playfully tugged from my hand. I looked down to see cujo our new puppy excitedly wagging her tail wanting to play.

" We can play later baby, but you can't tear up daddy's shirt" I cooed, patting her on the head. She layed down on the floor, resting her head on her paws giving me a pitiful look. By this time I noticed Brian's calm demeanor had gone out the window and he was now pacing back and forth, running his hands through his hair. He must of felt my eyes on him because he came to a stop and quickly walked up to me grabbing my hands. I went to ask him what was wrong but he silenced me by placing his finger to my lips.

" This is really hard for me, so please just hear me out completely. Ok?" He asked, eyes pleading. I nodded my head in agreement and waited for him to continue. I felt my body tense up and my heart start to pound in my chest. I didn't like the nervous look on his face and he looked like he was trying to get the courage up to say whatever it was he wanted to get out. Oh god is he going to leave me? Am I too much of a neat freak for him?? I knew I should have just let him pack himself, he probably thinks I'm some kind of laundry nut case!! As the silence grew I continued naming off reasons of why he was acting like this. He took a deep breathe and squeezed my hand lightly.

" Fuck" he whispered to himself, closing his eyes. He looked scared and I had no idea why. he sighed once more, opening his eyes to gaze deeply into mine.

" Frankie, I love you and I need you. I know I fucked up before but I swear to you I will never hurt you again" he said.

" I know Brian and I love you too" I softly said, still unsure of where he was going with all this. He got down on one knee and dug into his pocket digging out a small Tiffany's box. I felt my knees start to go weak as I watched him. It was so surreal, and even though I knew what he was doing I couldn't fully believe it.

" Frankie, will you marry me?" He said, opening the box to reveal a beautiful diamond engagement ring. My mouth fell open as I just stared at him. His smile slowly faded as I remained silent.

" What about zacky?" I whispered, not meaning to say it aloud. I felt horrified as the words left my lips, seeing Brian's face fall at the question. I couldn't help it though we were in an odd situation. I was carrying both their babies, so it wasn't that easy. Without a word Brian stood up and left the room.

" Brian!" I yelled after him, but he just ignored me as I followed him down to the living room.

" Brian, please...." I whimpered stopping at the bottom of the steps as I saw him standing at the bar with his head down. I could feel my heart breaking in two as he finally turned to face me and I saw the tears pooling up in his eyes.

" Have you noticed that zacky hasn't been here, that's he hasn't even called you in the past few days? " he spat at me. I remained silent knowing he wasn't done, and by the look on his face he was in no mood to be interrupted.

" I know I fucked up before and it wasn't right. But I've been the one who's been here for you the whole time. I'm the one that rubs your feet and holds your hair back when you puke. And your worried about zacky?!?! " he fumed, I flinched at each word feeling more horrible with each one. I sat on the last step dropping me head unable to look at the hurt in his eyes.

" Well let me tell you about zacky baby. This whole time he's been so busy with getting his shit together apparently, he has found plenty of free time for Angela, not you" and with that I broke down, sobs racking my body. god how could I be so nieave to think that all the drama was over and that zacky even cared. I was always so worried about trying to make sure everybody else was happy all the time that I was really blind to what was going on. Here Brian was taking care of me and I'm worried about zacky, when he obviously doesn't give a shit. Well I wasn't going to keep trying to please everybody for once I'm going to do what I feel is best for me and my babies. I slowly walked over to Brian and hugged him from behind resting my head on his back. I felt the tension drain from his body as I held him.

" I'm so sorry Brian, I've been too occupied to see what's right infront of my face" I cried. He turned his body and wrapped his arms around me kissing the top of my head. I slyly reached into his pocket and retrieved the ring box. I took a step back and placed the box into his hand.

" I don't want you to do something you'll regret, just to try and make me feel better" Brian sighed, looking down at the box in his hand. I stepped back toward him pressing my lips to his.

" we may have been through some tough times Brian, but you will never be a regret to me. I love you and nothing would make me happier than to be your wife" I smiled taking his face In my hands. His face instantly lit up as he once again opened the box sliding the ring onto my finger.

" I love you too mrs. Haner" he beamed, as I held my hand out admiring the huge rock perchd on my finger.

" I like the sound of that" I said winking at him. At that same moment I felt a small movement in my stomach.

" I think someone else is excited to" I smiled, rubbing my belly. Brian kneeled down placing a small kiss on my round tummy.

" Daddy is going to miss you baby, and uhhhh uncle Brian's going to miss you too" he said chuckling as he held my stomach. I grabbed his hand pulling him back up leading him over to the couch pushing him down to sit. I crawled on top of him straddling his lap. He arched his eyebrow, smiling up at me seductively. I couldn't help it he was about to be gone for a month and he was about to get alittle farewell present. I smashed my lips to his, running my hand down his chest. In the midst of our hot and heavy make out session I heard a rustling sound behind me. I decided to ignore it until I heard the front door slam, making me instantly jerk my head to see what was going on. All I saw was what looked like a dozen red roses and a teddy bear strewn out on the floor. I jumped off of Brian and walked over to peer through the window. And sure enough I saw zacky stalking to his car, slamming the door and speeding off down the street. At first I felt bad but I wasn't going to keep letting him jerk me around.

" What the fuck was that?!" Brian asked walking over to meet me at the window.

" Oh nothing, now where were we..........."
