They arrived home and found
AJ in the living room. Brizee went upstairs.
Hey Bone, what are you doing here, Nick said.
I need to talk to you, man, AJ said.
Sure, whats up, Nick said.
Brizee is having my baby, not yours, AJ said.
What are you talking about, Nick said.
The night after you slept with her the first time, well, I came over and me and Briz
were hanging out and talking and one thing led to another and we ended up in bed, I went to talk to Brizees doctor and she
did some checking and she told me the exact date that Brizee conceived, it was the day after you and her slept together, AJ
said.
I dont believe this, I dont, Nick said.
Its the truth, Nick, I swear on my mothers life, AJ said. Nick looked at him.
Now I believe you, you never swear on your mothers life when you are lying, how could
you! Nick said.
We didnt plan it, it just happened, she said she loved you and I knew she did and
she does, man, she is in love with you, not me, that night meant nothing, the night she shared with you, it meant everything
to her, it was special to her, and nothing compares to what she shared with you, you are her life, man, AJ said. Brizee came
downstairs.
Whats going on, Brizee said.
I told him, Brizee, about that night, AJ said.
What night? Brizee asked.
The night you two spent together, the night after you and I made love! The night
after you told me that we couldnt be anything but best friends, how could you do this to me, Nick said angrily.
We werent together then! Brizee said.
You told me the baby was mine! When you knew it was AJs! Nick said.
I wanted it to be yours! Brizee said.
Well it isnt mine, so you two be together, you and I are through! Ill be at my parents,
get the hell out, both of you, Nick said. He walked out the door. Brizee looked at AJ and went over to him.
Why did you tell him, Brizee said.
Im sorry, I just couldnt hide it anymore, he had a right to know, AJ said. Brizee
went upstairs and started packing.
Briz, AJ said.
Just stay away from me, you ruined my life! Brizee cried.
What about the baby, AJ said.
I hope its not too late for an abortion, Brizee said.
Briz, it is, AJ said.
Then Im giving it up for adoption, Brizee said.
Without my consent, AJ said.
AJ, I want Nicks baby, not yours, Brizee said.
But you cant because he doesnt want you anymore, AJ said.
And whose fault is that! Brizee said.
Briz, I dont know whats wrong with Nick but he shouldnt have a problem with it since
you two werent together at the time, AJ said. She started packing
The fact that Im not having his baby and the fact that he wanted to be with me is
the problem, I knew it wasnt his, but I didnt want to lose him, now I have nothing to live for, no one to love me, Im sure
Brian and Kevin will take Nicks side and hate me, and they will hate you, too, I mean, it was just one night, but now there
is proof, Brizee said.
I gotta go, and Im sorry, AJ said. He left. Brizee continued packing. She heard AJ
leave and she got out another bag and started packing that one. She heard a noise and she knew who it was.
Im almost done and out of here, Brizee said. She felt a hand on her arm and she looked
up at him.
I dont want you to go, Nick said. He kissed her deeply.
Nick, you said you wanted me out, Brizee said.
I was angry, and I realized that you and I werent together when you two slept together,
so why should I get mad, you didnt cheat on me if we werent even a couple, we broke up the night before, Nick said.
But Im pregnant with his child, Brizee said.
I went to see Dr. Kelly, she said she made a mistake and you conceived on the night
before you and him slept together, so its my baby, not his, Nick said.
So you are saying that its your baby, Brizee said.
You can ask Dr. Kelly, she told me, baby, unpack, you arent going anywhere, because
I want to ask you something, Nick said.
What, Brizee said. He knelt down in front of her and took her left hand in his. He
looked up at her.
Brizee, will you marry me, Nick said.
Yes! Brizee said. He smiled and slid a ring on her finger and stood up and kissed
her deeply. He picked her up and laid her on the bed and pulled her clothes off. She pulled his off.
Do you want me, baby, Nick said.
I want all of you, Brizee said. He kissed her deeply and laid between her legs. Just
as he was about to enter her, the doorbell rang. Nick groaned. He got up and put his clothes on and went downstairs and opened
the door and saw Brian and Kevin standing there.
Nick, man, we just heard, Brian said.
Is she gone? Kevin said.
No, shes in bed, I forgave her, Nick said.
Nick, she slept with AJ, Kevin said.
But she and I werent a couple, and it was only one night, besides, shes having my
baby, Dr. Kelly made a mistake, the baby is mine, Nick said.
We want to see her, Kevin said.
You can talk to her tomorrow, shes tired and so am I, Nick said. Brian and Kevin
came in and went upstairs and walked in and saw Brizee in bed.
Oh my god, Brian said. Brizee sat up holding the sheet to her.
Do you mind! Brizee said.
We have to talk to you, Brian said.
Cant it wait! Brizee said.
Briz, what were you thinking?! Brian said.
What are you talking about, Brizee said.
You sleeping with AJ! Brian said.
Its in the past, it only happened one time, Brizee said.
But you never told anyone! Kevin said.
So, Brizee said.
Briz, you know how much hurt you caused, Brian said.
Nick forgave me, Brizee said. Brian and Kevin looked at Nick.
Guys, she slept with him when we werent a couple, she didnt sleep with him when she
was with me, it was after the breakup, and before we got back together, Nick said.
Well talk about this tomorrow, Brian said. He and Kevin left. Nick went downstairs.
He came back up and closed the door and walked over to the bed and pulled his clothes off and got into bed with her and laid
on top of her. He laid between her legs.
Still want me? Nick asked.
Oh yeah, Brizee said. He kissed her deeply and pushed inside her. She wrapped her
legs around his waist. He braced himself so he wasnt hurting her. She moaned
as he pushed deeply into her. She came and he came behind her and spilled himself inside her.
He laid beside her and pulled her close.
I love you so much, you and our baby, Nick said rubbing her stomach.
I love you, too, Nick, I dont want to ever lose you, Brizee said.
You wont, I promise, no matter what, we will
be together, I am not going to let you go, Nick said kissing her forehead. They went to sleep holding each other.
