That morning, Daphne woke up the feel of Brian lightly tracing the tattoo on the back of her shoulder.

“Good morning,” she smiled, leaning into his touch.

“Morning,” he whispered as he kissed the back of her shoulder.

She smiled and turned around to face him. She was greeted with a lazy smile and a light kiss on the lips.

“Are there any other tattoos I should know about?” he asked.

Daphne smiled and nodded as she removed the blankets from herself and turned away from him. Brian looked to her lower back and saw a tattoo of the deathbat with the initials of everyone’s stage names going across the wings. Below the deathbat, foREVer was tattooed in black ink.

“When did you get that?” he asked as he ran his fingers across it.

“I got the deathbat and initials about a year after I left for New York. I got the foREVer a few months after Jimmy passed away,” she told him.

“Its great, I love it,” he smiled.

“Thanks,” she smiled as she turned back around to face him.

Brian propped himself up on his elbow and leaned up to kiss her.

“I love you,” Daphne mumbled as she tangled her fingers in his hair.

“I love you too,” he smiled.

She giggled as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her on top of him. She immediately became aroused when she felt his morning wood press against her. She heard him let out a deep, sexy growl when she grasped him. His touch went from gentle to aggressive as he roughly palmed her breasts. Daphne groaned when they were interrupted by someone knocking on the door.

“Mommy!” Misty called from the other side of the door.

“Mommy’s busy baby,” Daphne called back.

“But Aunt Jade is making breakfast!”

“Let mommy take a shower and then I’ll be down. Why don’t you go mess with your uncle?” Daphne suggested.

“Okay!” Misty giggled.

“How much time do we have?” Brian smirked once he heard Misty run off.

“Probably half an hour, so we should go get cleaned up,” Daphne smirked as she climbed off of him and walked to the door.

She opened it and peeked into the hallway. With no one in sight, they ran across the hall and into the bathroom. Daphne began running the water while Brian shut and locked the door. Once the temperature was right, she grabbed Brian’s wrist and drug him into the shower with her. She roughly kissed his lips as he shut the shower door. Warm water cascaded down their bodies as they heatedly touched each other. Brian bucked his hips when Daphne slowly stroked him.

“Don’t tease me Daph,” he growled.

“Why don’t you do something about it?” she smirked.

Before she could blink, Brian turned her around and pressed her front against the shower wall. She flinched and backed away from the cold tiles. He covered her body with his, pinning her to the wall. She gasped and arched her back as he roughly sheathed himself inside her.

“You asked for it,” he grunted as he pulled back out and roughly slammed back into her.

***

Half an hour later, Daphne and Brian entered the kitchen, earning confused looks from Matt and Jade.

“Where were you two?” Matt asked.

“Showering,” Daphne shrugged.

“Together?!” he asked, incredulously.

“Of course not! I used the shower in your room and Bri used the one in the hallway,” she lied.

“Oh, sorry,” he mumbled.

“Morning baby,” Daphne smiled as she swooped down and kissed Misty’s cheek.

“Morning!” Misty smiled as she continued eating her breakfast.

“Eat up, I made plenty,” Jade smiled as she placed a plate of pancakes and eggs in front of Daphne and Brian.

“Thanks sis,” Daphne smiled.

“No problem. By the way, I think your hair looks better pushed to the side,” Jade smirked as she draped Daphne’s hair over her shoulder.

Daphne sent her a questioning look. Jade patted her neck and winked at her. Daphne let out a silent gasp and quickly grabbed her phone as Matt got up to get more coffee. She pushed her hair aside and looked in the reflection on her phone to find a large, dark mark on her neck. She glared over at Brian when she noticed him quietly laughing to himself. She felt her cheeks heat up when Jade smirked at her.

“Do you have to work today?” Brian asked once they finished breakfast.

“No, I have off on Sundays,” Daphne smiled.

“How about we take Misty to the beach?” he suggested.

“That sounds fun,” she smiled.

After getting herself and Misty ready, she packed a tote bag full of beach necessities. She placed her sunglasses on top of her head and walked downstairs with Misty.

“Ready?” Brian asked as he grabbed his keys.

“Lets go!” Misty smiled.

Brian smiled and picked her up, running out of the house with her. Daphne smiled and laughed at them as she walked out of the house, shutting the door behind her. Twenty minutes later, they pulled up in front of Brian’s house instead of the beach.

“I just have to get changed real quick,” he announced as he shut off the truck.

“Is Zoey home?” Daphne asked.

“No, her car isn’t here,” he told her as he got out.

She hesitated before getting out of the car with Misty and following him inside. They were instantly greeted by a small, white furball.

“That’s Pinkly,” Brian smiled as he knelt down and to pet her.

Daphne and Misty followed suite and Pinkly attacked Misty in kisses. Misty squealed and laughed as she tried squirming away from her. Daphne couldn’t resist taking a quick picture on her camera.

“She loves you already princess,” Brian laughed as he watched Misty play with Pinkly.

After watching Misty and Pinkly for a few more seconds, he jogged up the steps to get changed. Daphne decided to explore the house being that it was her first time here. She stopped at the fireplace when she saw pictures lined up on the mantle. The one in the center caught her eye.

It was a picture of herself and the guys at her high school graduation. She was beaming in her cap and gown. She laughed to herself when she noticed Jimmy had jumped on Johnny during the picture, scaring him half to death. The looks on their faces were priceless. Matt stood to her left with his arm around her. He was smaller back then and his arms had less tattoos. Zacky was standing next to Brian, cigarette in hand as usual. Brian was standing to the right of her. She noticed he wasn’t looking at the camera though. He was looking down at her with a small smile on his face. His face displayed adoration as he looked down at her.

Daphne smiled to herself and moved on the next picture. Her smile fell when she noticed it was a picture of Brian and Zoey on their wedding day. Zoey looked beautiful in her white gown and Brian looked handsome as ever in his tuxedo. There was a smile on his face as Zoey kissed his cheek. A wave of guilt washed over her as she realized what she was doing to her marriage. She was surprised when Brian came up behind her and placed the picture face down on the mantle.

“Stop thinking so much,” he laughed as he kissed her forehead.

“Shut up, I feel bad,” she pouted.

“Don’t, Daph. This is my decision. I’m ending it with Zoey because I want to be with you,” he smiled.

She couldn’t help the small that made its way on her face.

“I love you,” she smiled as she pecked his lips.

“I love you too.”

The remainder of their day was spent at the beach. They built sandcastles with Misty and wrested each other in the water. At first, Misty was scared to get in the water but as soon as Brian made her comfortable in it, she refused to come out. Daphne snapped plenty of pictures and she even stole a few quick kisses from Brian when Misty wasn’t looking. They finally decided to head back when the sun began to set.

“Did you have fun princess?” Brian asked as he drove towards Matt’s house.

“Yes. I loved the water!” Misty announced.

“I knew you would,” he laughed.

Minutes later, he pulled up in front of Matt’s house.

“Bye Brian!” Misty smiled as she crawled into the front to hug him.

“Bye princess,” he smiled as he hugged her and kissed her forehead.

“I love you!” she called as she got out.

“I love you too,” he smiled.

“She really loves you,” Daphne smiled as she watched Misty run in the house.

“Sometimes I wish she was mine,” he confessed.

“Sometimes I wish that too,” she agreed.

“I’m ending things with Zoey tonight,” he announced.

“Are you sure you want to do that?”

“Of course I do. You’re not bored of me already, are you?”

Daphne smiled and shook her head. She leaned over to the console and lightly kissed him. Brian held the back of her neck to keep her there.

“I love you so much baby,” he smiled once he finally pulled away from her.

“I love you too. I’ll see you tomorrow?” she asked.

“Maybe tonight,” he smiled.

She smiled and kissed him one last time before reluctantly getting out of the truck. Brian watched her walk inside before driving off to his house. He was nervous the whole way as he thought about how Zoey would react to his news. He sighed as he pulled up and saw her car in the driveway. He parked behind her and stayed in the truck as he thought of ways to tell her. He got out ten minutes later with no ideas whatsoever. Deciding to just break it to her easily, he walked onto the porch and walked inside.

“Hi baby!” Zoey greeted cheerfully as she walked up to him.

She leaned up and kissed his cheek.

“We need to talk Zoey,” he sighed.

“Yes we do, we have a lot to talk about,” she grinned as she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the couch.

“I doubt its about the same thing,” he muttered.

“Its definitely not, but can I go first?” she grinned.

“Zoey this is really important,” he told her.

“Please Bri?” she pouted.

He sighed and nodded, urging her on. She was silent for a few seconds as she contemplated something.

“What is it?” he asked.

He saw a smile stretch across her face before she told him the news.

“Bri, I’m pregnant.”
