Movin' In With Quagmire

1st Brian, Now Stewie

The next morning, Brian and Quagmire woke up with a surprise..

"Stewie? What the hell are you doing here?" Brian wondered at the sight of Stewie laying wide awake.

Stewie responded, "Oh, hey Brian. Did you miss me?"

Quagmire then asked, "Stewie what are you doing here?"

The baby explained, "I decided to move in with you because I need Brian, but he will never move back in with us. Please, Mr. Quagmire, Brian is my only friend and the only one to make my life bearable. He was always there for me and I want to be there for him."

Quagmire did not know what to say. Looking at the expression on Stewie's face made it hard for him to say "no" but he knew he could not take care of both an injured dog and a baby. Sure he did have a baby at some point, but even it was too hard for him to care for, which was why he ended up putting her for adoption.

Quagmire finally said, "Stewie, I know how much you miss Brian, but sometimes we have to move on."

Stewie then teared up, "I can't move on. I can't knowing that he's hurt and I'm not there for him. Like I said before, he was always there for me. In fact, he was there for the whole family."

Quagmire replied, "And I'm there for him too. Trust me Stewie, it's going to get better."

"I just want my friend back and I want everything to be normal again. I mean, not that our family was ever normal, but you know what I mean," Stewie said still crying.

Brian and Quagmire could not help but feel bad for Stewie.

"Man, poor Stewie," Brian said to Quagmire.

Quagmire replied, "I know. He doesn't seem to be taking this very well."

Stewie continued to cry even longer. Finally, Quagmire wrapped an arm around him and consoled, "Stewie, everything will be okay."

Brian added, "Quagmire's right. Everything will be fine. I would hug you if I wasn't all casted up."

"Wait," responded Stewie, "You want to hug me?"

"Yes," Brian said, "I know how much you miss me."

Stewie replied, "How about I hug you?"

"Sure," Brian said and Stewie hugged him.

Meanwhile, back at the Griffins' house, Lois found the letter that Stewie left in his crib.

"What is this?" Lois said, in response to the letter. After reading it, she finally said, "Oh no. Stewie ran away. First it was Brian and now my little Stewie. Oh, this family is falling apart."

Lois then walked to the bathroom, where Peter was blow-drying his Miley Cyrus haircut.

"PETER!" Lois shouted, as she knocked on the door, "COME OUT!"

"HOLD ON LADY!" Peter shouted, "I'm still fixing my hair."

"PETER! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! OUR SON, STEWIE RAN AWAY!"

Peter finally cut off the blow-dryer and shouted, "WHAT?"

Lois replied, "STEWIE RAN AWAY!"

Peter then opened the door.

Lois then said, "We will discuss your hair later, but right now we need to notify Chris and Meg of the news.

As soon as everyone gathered into the living room, Lois finally began to break the news to their adolescent kids.

"We have some bad news," Lois began.

"Is the world ending?" Chris wondered.

"Are there going to be more episodes where I get tortured?" Asked Meg.

"No, it's not that," Lois answered, "You know how Brian moved out, right?"

"Right," Chris said.

"Right," Meg added.

"Well," Lois began, "Stewie has also done the same. He ran away to Mr. Quagmire's house to be with Brian."

"WHAT?!" The two shouted.

"I get that Stewie misses Brian," Chris added, "But why would he run away?"

Peter finally stood up and confessed, "This was all because of me. If I hadn't been so selfish and caught up with pretending to be a celebrity that I am not nor hurt my best friend, our pet, and our family member; none of this would have happened. Stewie ran away because he needs Brian, and so do we."

Lois then said, in amazement, "Peter, I'm so glad that you are actually feeling remorse."

Peter replied, "That's because I realized I messed up big time and I need to make it up to him."

Lois suggested, "Well, I think we should go back to Quagmire's house and try to get Brian to come home, which would also get Stewie to come home as well."

"Great idea," Peter remarked.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Meg replied, "Let's Go."

Peter then replied, "Shut up, Meg."

And so the Griffins went to Quagmire's house and Peter was the one to ring the doorbell.

"Oh, hello, Peter," Quagmire said.

"Hey Quagmire," Peter said, "Is Brian here?"

"He is," Quagmire answered. He then led the Griffins to the bed, where Brian and Stewie were laying in.

"Hey Brian," Peter said.

"Oh hey Peter," Brian replied.

"Hey fatman," Stewie added, rather jokingly.

Peter began, "Brian, you know why we came here today or why I came here?"

"No," Brian replied.

Peter continued, "It's because I wanted to let you know that I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hurt you and never cared for you when you needed it the most. I should have never done that. I should have taken care of you, considering I was the one that injured you. Brian, our family is a wreck and we can't live without you. You made our lives great and we miss that."

Brian then replied, "Peter, I forgive you."

Peter couldn't believe his ears, "You forgive me?"

"Yes," Brian said, "I forgive you because I know I'm going to get better and I know you feel remorse. I also forgive you because you are the reason the feud between me and Quagmire ended. You brought us together. I don't know if I will ever be my old self again, but I know that I'm not forever destroyed."

Peter then said, "So does that mean you will move back in with us?"

Quagmire added, "I think that you should. Your family needs you and guess what. I will come to visit and you can come and visit me again anytime."

Brian finally said, "You know what? I'm moving back in and Quagmire, I have something to say to you."

"What is it?" Quagmire asked.

"Thank you," Brian began, "Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for helping me cope with my condition. Thank you for keeping me happy. You are a really good friend and one day, I will repay you."

Quagmire then hugged Brian and the two began to cry.

"I'm going to miss you," Quagmire said.

"And I will miss you too," Brian replied, "And I will visit you sometime."

The whole family then began to cry and not a single eye was dry. It was a very emotional moment for everyone.
