Summary: Jenna goes to ask her brother a question

When she got the email yesterday, Jenna's eyebrows had been somewhere in her hairline. She'd almost replied to Savannah asking what the hell she was doing, because there was no way that her brother was seriously involved with someone and let Savannah find out before telling her. Even if Savannah had found out by accident, Sean would have made sure to tell her before she could find out from her.

Only apparently she didn't know her brother at all.

When Sean answered the email, it wasn't to deny anything, it wasn't to tell Savannah she was out of line, it was to ask if they should bring anything.

Maybe it was petty to feel jealous that Savannah had been told first, and stupid to let it matter, but Jenna was pissed off. More than pissed off. She was furious. She and Sean had always been close, they'd told each other things, and she wouldn't have imagined for a second that Sean would be so inconsiderate as to let her find out that he had someone that important in his life from Savannah of all people. After sending the sparks flying and making the light bulbs explode because he was jealous of her relationship with their dad he wouldn't consider making sure she heard something like this from him and not her - or anyone that wasn't him or dad?

At first she was too angry to even want to speak to him, but then she wasn't someone who didn't tell people exactly what she thought when she thought it, so her efforts were in vain and finally she just went to find him.

"Can you talk? Privately?" she asked, because it was bad enough that Mike would probably hear this, she didn't need anyone else to do so too.

"I might have sex with him, but I don't control him." Sean snorted. "You'll notice no one said I told anyone, but that it was announced? In fact, if you ask anyone who was within hearing distance, I chastised him then for telling everyone before I could say anything to you or Dad."

Sean didn't want his dad to be right. He didn't want to admit to feeling on the outside, odd man out, even with his family, or that he needed someone. He didn't. He had his music and his family and he was happy that way.

Really.

He was.

Sean sighed. "You could have asked. Dad did." He was tempted to tell her the truth. But, that would just complicate matters further. "I think you're confusing my kind of serious with what you and Dom have, though. It's not a forever after sort of serious."

	"How do you know it's not a forever sort of serious? Things happen. The size of me should tell you that." She said, because in that sentence that was the important part. "I know Dad asked, he asked me if he should. I wanted to, but I didn't get a chance to talk to you all night Sunday so when was I supposed to?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Because it wasn't real. But he couldn't say that. Instead, Sean just shook his head. "I'm not saying it won't become a forever sort of serious or that it can't. But, it's not a forever sort of serious right now. Whether it becomes that or not, we'll see when it happens. Neither of us is looking for forever when we're just lucky to have a today."

Cocking his head, he raised an eyebrow. "I don't know. Monday? Tuesday? You pulled me aside now. You could have pulled me aside either of those two days. You could have emailed. All I'm saying is it takes two to have a conversation. Maybe I wasn't seeking you out because I didn't think I had to, but you weren't trying to talk to me, either."

"How in the world did this become my fault? I wasn't the one with news to share, you were. The fact that Dad asked should have told you that it wasn't obvious to us what exactly was going on."

"If it becomes a forever kind of serious or not, I want to be a part of your life. Just because I got married and became pregnant I didn't stop being interested in what happens to you."

"Because it's not mine?" Sean supplied helpfully with just a tiny smirk. Then he sighed, not bothering to correct her, again, that he didn't think he had news to share. "Dad needing to ask doesn't mean anything more than that Dad's doesn't get something. That's not really unusual for us. The man looks at me like I'm insane for suggesting he and G go on a date. And, maybe being married and pregnant doesn't mean you stop being interested. But, it does mean it's no longer you and me against the world, Jen. We can still be part of each others' lives. We'd better still be part of each others' lives. But, you have Dom, Blaze on the way. This is for me, mine to share when I am ready...or when Troy opens his mouth, as the case may be."

	"Which is why I'm not upset at you for not telling me while it was going on," Jenna answered. "I get that you weren't ready to share, but once he announced it, you should have made sure to talk to me and Dad so that we knew what was going on, and I know you know that so what I don't get is why you're insisting on arguing as if I'm wrong."

Sean wanted to bang his head on the wall with the way they were going round and round, saying the same things, and no matter how many times he explained it, she came right back to the same line. "Jen, I stopped arguing five minutes ago. I apologized. I explained why I didn't talk to you. What more do you want me to say?

"I'll say it all again if you want. I'm sorry you were hurt. It wasn't my intention. I didn't realize you wouldn't understand. I can't take any of it back, but I'm sorry. What more is there that you want from me?"

She was tempted to say that his previous attempt at an apology hadn't been an actual apology, not when said at the same time as pointing out all the reason why getting angry was wrong. She bit her tongue, however, because this was an apology.

"I want you to remember how important you are to me. You're my brother, I want to know what goes on in your life. I want to be happy for you."

"I am happy for you." She smiled teasingly. "So is it too soon to give him the 'hurt my baby brother and I'll make your life a living hell' speach? Because if it is I can totally wait...for a while."

"It's never too early for that speech," Sean said with a laugh. "In fact, I insist on it as proof my big sister is still looking out for her baby brother. I'm pretty sure it's required within the first week of learning of a new relationship. I'll feel cheated if you wait."

Crossing over, he hugged her as best he could around the aforementioned baby belly. "I love you, Jen. that hasn't changed just because I let a boy go to my head...again."

	Jenna couldn't help but to laugh at that. "As if you need proof," she said. "But I can do that. Leaves me something to do on Sunday." "You'd better not let it either," she said. "I love you too, Sean. Just don't forget it the next time a boy goes to your head." (Reply to this) (Parent)
