Two weeks later, Brizee and Nick went to see AJ at the rehab center. Nick pulled into the parking lot and parked the rental car.

      You ok, Nick said.

      I dont feel good, Nick, Brizee said.

      Come on, well visit and then go back to the hotel and you can rest, okay, Nick said.

      Okay, Brizee said. They got out and went in and went to the front desk. 

      May I help you, a lady asked.

      Yes, we are here to see AJ McLean, Nick said.

      Your names, please, the lady asked.

      Nick Carter and Brizee Littrell, Nick said.

      Just one moment and Ill get Mr. McLean, the lady said. She went through the doors.

      I have to go to the bathroom, Brizee said. She went into the bathroom in the waiting area.

      Hey Kaos, AJ said. Nick turned and saw him.

      Hey Bone, Nick said. They hugged.

      Thanks for coming to see me, I really appreciate it, AJ said.

      I wanted to see how you were doing, Nick said.

      Im doing great, its really peaceful, so are you here alone? AJ asked.

      Um, no, Briz is in the bathroom, Nick said.

      She still hates me, doesnt she, AJ said.

      You really hurt her, AJ, Nick said. Brizee came out of the bathroom.

      She doesnt look too good, man, shes pale, AJ said. Nick looked at Brizee. He went over to her.

      You ok, baby, Nick said.

      I just dont feel right, Brizee said. She saw AJ. He came over.

      Hi Briz, AJ said.

      Hi, Brizee said softly.

      Briz, Im sorry for what I did, it wasnt me, I would never do that to you if I was sober, I truly am sorry, AJ said. Brizee hugged him.

      I know, Brizee said.

      Im getting better, Briz, I really am, AJ said.

      I hope so, AJ, Brizee said.

      Ill be better than ever, AJ said.

      I thought I couldnt forgive you for what you did, but now that you are getting the help you need, I feel like I can, Brizee said.

      Briz, that means a lot to me, I just hope Theresa feels the same way, AJ said. Brizee walked away and stared out the window.

      Briz, Nick said as he and AJ came up behind her.

      That was my fault, Brizee said.

      No it wasnt, Briz, it was mine, AJ said.

      But I didnt let you have me, so you went after her, you did that because you couldnt have me, Brizee said.

      Briz, I was drunk, I would have done anyone, who was a girl, that is, AJ said.

      I need to lay down, Brizee said suddenly feeling lightheaded. Nick sat her down and she laid down.

      Briz, you need to rest, come on to my room, AJ said. They went back to his room and Brizee laid down on the bed and closed her eyes. Nick and AJ went out into the hallway.

      Whats wrong with her, AJ said.

      I dont know, I should take her to the doctor, Nick said.

      Why, AJ said.

      She might be pregnant, Nick said. AJs face dropped.

      And it could be mine, AJ said.

      Or mine, Nick said.

      Man, what will happen, AJ said.

      I dont know, but Im not leaving her, Nick said.

      If she is pregnant and its mine, I will want to be there for the baby, AJ said.

      Well deal with it when it happens, Nick said. They went back in and saw Brizee sitting up.

      Hey, you ok, Nick said.

      I still dont feel right, Brizee said.

      Im taking you to the doctor, Nick said helping her up. They said bye to AJ and left and went to the hospital. Brizee laid down on the bed in the examination room. Nick sat down in the chair beside the bed. The doctor ran some tests and went out the door. Brizee laid there.

      I might have the flu, its probably the flu, Brizee said. Nick took Brizees hand in his.

      Or you are pregnant, Nick said. Brizee looked at him.

      Oh my god, if Im pregnant, AJ could be the father, oh god, Brizee said.

      Or me, Nick said.

      Nick, I love you, Brizee said.

      I love you, too, Nick said.

The doctor came back in. Nick kissed Brizees hand.

      Ms. Littrell, youre pregnant, about four months along, to be exact, the doctor said. Brizee looked at Nick. He kissed her hand.

      Really, Im four months along, Brizee said

      Yes, why, the doctor said.

      I was raped two weeks ago, Brizee said.

      I see, well you are four months along according to the tests, lets do an ultrasound, the doctor said.

He set everything up and reveal Brizees stomach and Nick and Brizee looked at the screen and saw the baby. Brizee smiled.

      Nick, look, our baby, Brizee said.

      Yeah, our baby, you have made me the happiest guy on earth, Nick said. He kissed her lips softly. They went back to the rehab center and the lady got AJ. He came out and saw them.

      Whats up, AJ said.

      Im pregnant, Brizee said. AJs face dropped.

      Relax, AJ, shes four months along so its mine, Nick said. AJ smiled.

      Congrats, you two, AJ said hugging them.

      Thanks, Nick said.

      Thanks AJ, Brizee said. After visiting with AJ, Brizee and Nick went to the hotel. Brizee sat down on the couch. Nick sat down and put his hand on her stomach.

      I guess it was from the first time you and I made love, huh, Nick said.

      Yup, Brizee said.

      Whats wrong, baby, Nick said.

      I now realize that I was wrong to break things off with you that night, Brizee said.
