Chapter Summary: Brian is emotional distraught. After finally accepting his role as a father, he has to do what’s right and let him go.


Sonny Boy…

They say you learn by example, but they didn’t have Jack Kinney as a father. Before my Sonny Boy was born, I didn’t think it would change me. I didn’t even see myself as a father, really. After all he was supposed to be Lindsay and Melanie’s kid, with me as the sperm donor, just making brief appearances in his life. But that all changed once I held him in my arms. I was overwhelmed with a sense of pride and the need to protect him, even if it was from myself. I knew then that I loved him, but I wasn’t sure I should play an active role in his life. What kind of role model would I be for him anyways?

And then he came along. Justin’s changed me, seeing so many things in me that no one else ever did, not even Michael. He is a natural, completely comfortable caring for Gus. Hell, he spent more time with him that first year than I did. Where I feel awkward and unsure, he never questions his ability. But the funny thing is, he never questions my ability either. He’s taught me so much about life, love and acknowledging my feelings. Now that I’ve let myself love Gus, being a part of his life, he’s being taken away, and it scares me to death. Mel and Lindsay reassure me that I’ll always be part of his life, but it just seems so unfair. I was just starting to feel secure in my role as a father, and he’s being ripped away from me. But I guess it’s for the best, or so they say...

The End

I think that if Gus stayed, Brian would have been a better father. I think Lindsey did this to rip his heart out because she couldn't have him. Great fic.

I know, Brian was finally ready to play an active role in Gus's life. Then the muncher's decided to leave town, but I think it was combination of jealousy. Lindsay because he was going to marry Justin, and Mel because she didn't want Brian involved in Gus's life as he grew up...

I'm so glad you enjoy this one...

I LOVE everything Gus/Brian because it's always so filled with emotion but also it's very thought provoking.

Thanks Vered,

I love writing Brian and Gus stories too... Showing that Brian really loves his son, that he is capable of change... Maybe even reliving his childhood and healing at the same time...

Brian really loved Gus, which Justin could see so clearly. I think Linz could see this as well as how she was losing Brian to Justin and Mel was just plain jealous.
Beautifully written, thanks for sharing!

It was such a shame that as soon as Brian became comfortable being a father, Gus was taken away from him... They say they moved to raise the kids some place safe, but I question this reasoning...

Thanks, I'm so glad you enjoyed this fic...

Thanks so much... Just a little peek at Brian's real feelings, about Gus moving away from him...
