This is another life that Brian and Justin end up reliving, when they return to help get others lives where they should be. 

Lorie you know you're the best beta, but thanks for always being there to help me.

Nichelle, you asked me for this and it wouldn't leave me alone. 

This is part of a series called "Consequences". The first part is called "Consequences of Snooping", which was inspired by a plot bunny by Deb Tanner.

Brian has been acting strange for several weeks. Michael decides to search the loft while Brian is out of town on business to see if he can find any clues to his best friend's recent behavior. What he finds is a copy of Brian's will. And now he wants to know... just who the hell is Justin Taylor and why is Brian leaving him his entire estate?

Consequences - How Brian met Justin tells you how Brian met his husband. After that one shot, I'll start working on a multi-chapter story to wrap this storyline up.

Justin is tired of the games Lindsay and Michael play to tear him and Brian apart. What happens when Justin discovers he's pregnant? Just how far will Lindsay and Michael go to get rid of Brian's true love? Will they succeed or fail?

Justin is never found in New York, when Brian kicked him out.

This does contain Mpreg.

Justin did not go back to Brian after that first night. He goes to live with his cousin in New York.

What happens when Justin's need for food, Brian's need for something (but he doesn't know what) and Michael's need for attention clash...

This is a co-author fic with Bea Johnson, who suggested the idea.  She, Nichelle Wellesly and Kathy Hearns are my awesome betas.  Thanks ladies!

I still can't believe this is my life. Two days ago I was the stud of Liberty Avenue and a successful adman, today... today I am a father. I still recall the words he whispered in my ear that night, as we all sat in Lindsay's hospital room: "You deserve to be loved Brian. Don't let anyone make you think you can't, don't let them win. Show them they are wrong"

I've dedicated all my life to show Saint Joan, Jack and every homophobe out there that underestimating me was a mistake. I became a successful businessman, being the head of the advertising department in Ryder's Advertising. I had the money, the looks, the gang and everyone wanted me... but I was still hallow.

I've proved them all wrong in everything, but one thing. I ended up believing their words, that I was unwanted, that no one will ever love me, that I was not desired, that I should have been aborted.

However, all that changed two days ago. When, I met a fallen angel under a streetlight, no matter how lesbian I sounded, to me that was true. Looking so innocent and pure, he was just asking for me to pick him up. I don't normally go for blonds, but I wanted to be in that world- that world of light- at least for a night.

Brian has to repair the cracks in his marriage and with his children, when Michael needs him after Ben dies.

Lorie once again thank you for the work you do as my beta. 

Before Justin and Brian met, they both wanted something else: Justin wanted to be older and Brian wanted to be younger. They both get their wish, sort of. Brian wakes up in Justin's body and Justin wakes up in Brian's body.

This story was adopted by charming1. Original plot and Chapter 1 by SLHR.

After Brian and Justin cancel the wedding, Lindsay and Michael try to persuade, or some would say bully, Justin into going and taking his chance in New York. Unfortunately for them, Brian has his own Cyrano to help him and Justin get to where they need to be.

***COMPLETED*** ENJOY!

What if Brian and Justin hadn't moved so fast after the bombing? What if they had talked things over and began a more open relationship? Would Lindsay have had the same success in making them part ways? Or would they have stayed together?
