Summary: Brian never expected to love Gus, but he does…


Father and Son…

I saw it that first night, the moment he held his son for the first time. I’ve never seen him let his guard down completely before. Allowing his love to show, it was written all over his face and in his eyes. So I understand why he’s changed his mind, why he can’t give up his parental rights. Maybe it’s instinctual, the impulse to protect your child; maybe it’s different because Gus is a part of us, me and Brian.


All Melanie sees is betrayal, and a broken promise. For her it’s all about her feeling slighted, like he’s doing this on purpose. She can’t seem to understand what he’s feeling, but I do. He never expected to love his son, yet he does. I can’t imagine how hard this is for him to give Gus away, so I understand his feelings.


Mel thinks I’m siding with him, and she’s furious with me, but it’s not about sides. She sees this from a legal standpoint, he made a verbal agreement. She discounts his feelings, and the only thing she feels is betrayal and hatred.


I’ve never once heard her say, ‘I love Gus so much this is breaking my heart.’
