They watched as the kids ripped the wrapping off the gifts. Diana loved this part, seeing the happy faces on her son, nephew, and niece.

Roman's hand was rubbing over her bump. Luis handed her a bag.

"For me?", Diana asked.

"For the baby", he said, before going back over to his toys.

Diana opened it and pulled out a cute outfit. A cute top with pink and turquoise owls, matching leggings. A beanie for her little head and socks.

"This is so cute, thank you guys. Kaia is going to love it", Diana said.

Roman held the clothes in his hands. He couldn't wait to have another tiny baby in his arms. Dean handed her a bag and she laughed, knowing exactly what it was. She pulled out the bottle of tequila.

"Remember, you don't drink that with anyone else but me", Dean winked.

"Excuse me?", Roman asked.

"Oh, as soon as Kaia comes, mama is having fun", Diana said.

Roman kissed her gently.

"A new fishing pole, thanks uncle Dean", Luis said excited.

"Any time bud, maybe we can go some time so you could try it out", Dean said.

Luis nodded. He could feel Brie's eyes on him, but he knew if he looked at her, he would break.

"Mom, this one is for you", Leah said, handing her a bag.

Brie took it.

"Its from uncle Dean", she continued.

Brie looked at him, he was looking at the card the kids made him to go with his gift. She opened the bag and pulled out a picture frame. It was a beautiful black and white photo of her and Victor with the kids.

They were smiling and laughing. It was their last Christmas together. She bit her lip and touched the glass.

"I took it without telling you guys. I was going to give it to you guys as an Anniversary gift, but…", he stopped.

She nodded and looked at him.

"Its beautiful, thank you Dean", she said softly.

"Open the rest of your gift uncle Dean", Luis said.

"Right, of course. By the way, great job on my card, I loved it", he said, opening the box.

The kids giggled and excitedly watched him. Noah sat beside his mom, resting his head against her bump. Dean pulled out two hand made framed Christmas photos. He smiled.

"We made them at school. Its so you can put them on your desk", Luis said excited.

"These definitely need to go on my desk. Thanks guys", he said, hugging them.

Brie smiled. He was so good with them and they loved him so much. He looked at her and showed her.

"Look, I got pictures too", he said.

She giggled. The front door opened and Seth walked in.

"Hey", he said.

"Uncle Seth", the kids said, excited.

"I thought you weren't going to make it", Noah said.

"I wanted to surprise you guys.", he replied, handing out the gifts.

He went over to Roman and Dean, handing them envelopes. They opened them to see it packed with cash.

"Final payments", Seth said.

"Seth, we talked about this", Roman said, about to hand back the money.

Diana snatched it.

"But thanks anyway, we needed it", Diana said.

Roman chuckled. Dean put the envelope in his back pocket.

"Well, I have to go. I need to go and check on my parents", Dean said.

"Um, why?", Diana asked, unwrapping a chocolate.

Dean kissed the top of her head.

"D, I don't want you going over there. I don't like the way they treat you. Especially when they see that cash in your pocket.", Diana said.

"I'm just going to pop in and out, then I'm coming back here to pick up Roman and Noah for our fishing trip. Which reminds me…", he turned to Brie.

She smiled.

"Can I take Luis?", he asked.

"Yes, please mom, please", Luis begged.

"Alright, if you don't mind", Brie said to Dean.

"I never mind", he replied.

"Fine, but do not give them money. They don't deserve it", Diana said.

"Yes ma'am", he replied.

He grabbed his gifts before leaving. Setting them in the back of the truck, Brie walked over to him.

"So…", she said.

"I don't regret what we did. I can't stop thinking about it and, I even fell…", she stopped him.

"Don't. Don't say it", Brie said.

He swallowed.

"So that's it? I don't even get a chance?", he asked.

"Dean, do you honestly think this is going to work? People know me as Victor's wife and they know you as Victor's best friend, how is it going to look to everyone", she said.

"Who cares what everyone else thinks. Victor wanted us together, if no one gets that then fuck them. The people we love most are backing us, his family is backing us", Dean said.

"Dean, please don't make this harder. I don't want to lose you as my friend, the kids love you and need you.", she said.

She cupped his face.

"I care about you, Dean, but I don't think I can love you the way you want", she said.

He swallowed. She backed away from him and inside the house. He exhaled softly before driving to his parents house.

Nikki and Elias had come over to drop off some gifts too. Noah and Seth were on the floor doing a puzzle. Roman was playing video games with Luis. Leah was helping Diana and Brie make cookies.

"So, you and Dean, everything okay now?", Diana asked.

"Um, yeah", Brie replied.

"That didn't sound too convincing", she said.

Brie looked at her daughter, moving closer to Diana so Leah wouldn't hear. Nikki did as well.

"Leah, uncle Elias brought his guitar. Ask him to sing to you", Nikki said.

Leah happily went to find him.

"Spill", Nikki said.

"Well, we might have had sex a few months ago", Brie mumbled.

"Holy shit", Diana said loud.

Roman came rushing in.

"What? You okay? Is it the baby?", he asked worried.

Diana brushed him off.

"You slept with Dean", Diana said.

Roman's jaw dropped open, and then a smile formed.

"No wonder he's been happier.", Roman pointed out.

Brie sighed.

"What?", Nikki asked.

"I also might have told him that nothing can come of it.", she continued.

"Why? That man loves you, you gave him everything he's ever wanted and then snatched it away. Not okay", Nikki said.

"If this is about my brother…", Brie shook her head no.

"I mean, it kind of is, I just", Brie sighed.

"Do you like him Brie?", Diana asked.

"I do, when I see him I get that feeling in my stomach, butterflies. I haven't felt that way since Vic", she said sadly.

"Just because you feel that way towards Dean too, doesn't mean you're replacing Vic", Nikki said softly.

Nikki rubbed her sister's back. Diana took her hand.

"I know, why don't you go out with someone else. I mean you were going to till you canceled. Maybe if Dean didn't feel like a rebound, you would feel more comfortable", Nikki suggested.

"I don't know about that", Diana said.

"Me either", Roman mumbled.

"Its just to get her feet wet", Nikki said.

"I don't think Dean wants any part of her body wet by another man", Diana said.

Brie burst out laughing and Nikki followed.

"True, he would probably murder the poor guy", Nikki said.

"Nikki is right though, I don't want my first date back in the game to be with Dean. I honestly forgot how to date, just to get my feet wet", Brie said to Diana.

"Alright, but you have to tell Dean. I don't want him finding out from someone else and getting his heart broken.", Diana said.

"I will tell him", Brie said.

Diana placed her hand on her bump and smiled.

"Is she moving?", Nikki asked.

Diana nodded. Both women placed their hands. Roman followed next.

"Only a few more months my princess", he said softly.

"Are you guys stopping after this?", Nikki asked.

"Hell no", he said quickly.

"He says that because he's not the one pushing out a tiny human from his body.", Diana said.

Roman smiled and wrapped his arms around Diana. He kissed her neck.

"But we agreed on four, so after this little lady comes, two more", Diana said.

"Elias and I have talked about it, we might wait till the kids are a little older.", Nikki said.

"I know Dean wants kids", Roman added.

Brie blushed. He playfully nudged her and she laughed, pushing him out of the kitchen.

"You are no help", she said.

He laughed. Brie looked at her sister and nodded.

"Set it up, I mean, what could it hurt. I either find out I'm ready to try again or I'm not. If I'm not, I would rather it be with some stranger than with Dean", Brie said.

"I see your point", Diana nodded.

She was just worried Brie would find this guy attractive and forget all about Dean.

Roman kissed Diana.

"I love you and if you need me, just call", Roman said.

"Don't worry, I have her", Brie said.

Luis was going with them and Leah had gone with Nikki. Leaving Diana and Brie alone.

They waved as the guys left fishing.

"So explain to me in detail how good Dean looks naked", Diana said, before walking into her house.

Brie laughed.
