The next day, Brizee and Nick
called everyone over to the house. Brian, Brittany, Kevin, Theresa, Howie, and AJ sat down in the living room.
Okay, first off, you all know about the night that AJ and Brizee spent together,
but she didnt do it when she was dating me, it was during the time when we werent together, so it didnt hurt me, and I checked
it out and Brizee is having my baby, okay, so dont get after her or hate it, its in the past and it is going to stay there,
any questions, Nick said.
No, everyone said.
Okay, now we have some news, Briz and I are engaged to be married, Nick said.
WHAT! Brian yelled.
Brian! Brizee said.
You two are not getting married, end of conversation, Brian said. He walked out.
Kevin came over and hugged Brizee.
Congrats, cuz, Ill go talk to him, Kevin said. He kissed Brizees forehead and went
out the door. Brittany and Theresa came over and hugged her.
Girl, lets start planning, first, you need to call yoru parents and see if you have
their blessing, if you do, there is nothing Brian can do about it, Theresa said.
I just want him to be happy for me, hes my brother, I dont want him to hate me, I
dont understand why he is doing this, Brizee said.
Briz, he wanted to talk to you last night, but you told him to go away, he got hurt,
Brittany said.
I didnt tell him to go away, I just said I would talk to him today, because he and
Kevin interrupted me and Nick, Brizee said.
I know, he told me, you were naked the whole time they were in the room, Brittany
said.
I just dont know why he is so against me and Nick getting married, Brizee said. Brian
came in and glared at her. Brizee stood up.
We have to talk, Brian said. He pulled her out back. She turned and looked at him.
What is your problem, you didnt have a problem with the relationship, but you have
a problem with me and Nick getting married, Brizee said.
Its too soon! Brian said.
Brian, Nick and I have known each other since we were three, we know each other inside
out, we want to get married, and I dont care what you think, it will happen, I will be Nicks wife and happy whether you like
it or not, Brizee said.
Briz, listen to me, Nick isnt telling you the truth, the baby is AJs, he just wants
AJ to hurt because AJ was excited at the thought of being a father, Brian said.
No, Nick wouldnt lie to me, he never has, Brizee said. Brian handed her some papers.
This is Dr. Kellys signature, but you probably did something, Brizee said. Brians
cell phone rang.
Hello, just a moment, its Dr. Kelly, Brian said handing her the phone.
Dr. Kelly, Brizee said. Her face dropped and she bit her lip.
Yeah, thanks, Brizee said. She hung up.
Do you believe me now? Brian said.
I cant, you will do anything to keep me from marrying Nick, well, forget it! Brizee
said. She went inside and grabbed Nick and pulled him out the door.
Briz, Nick said.
We are eloping, the sooner we get married, the better, Brizee said. They went to
the courthouse and got a marriage license and were married by the justice of the peace. They went home and saw everyone still
there.
Brizee, Brian said.
Nick and I are married and you arent doing anything about it! Brizee said.
Im telling the truth, Nick, tell her, Brian said.
Tell her what, Nick said.
That you lied to her, that the baby isnt yours, Brian said.
You would do anything to keep me and Brizee apart, Brian, the baby is mine, Dr. Kelly
said so, I never lied to Brizee! Nick said. Brian handed him the papers.
Brizee talked to Dr. Kelly and she told Brizee the truth, Brian said.
So why did she marry me, Nick said.
Because she didnt believe me, Brian said.
Brian, I have never once lied to her, I have always been honest with her, Im not
going to start now, okay, the baby is mine, why is it so important for the baby to be AJs, huh, do you really want me out
of her life, Nick said.
Look, Im going to settle this right now, Kev, come with me, Brizee said. They left.
Nick looked at Brian.
Why are you doing this, I thought we were best friends, but you pull this shit, I
dont know who you are anymore, Nick said. He went out back. Brittany looked at Brian.
What has gotten into you, Brittany said. Theresa got on the phone and called Jackie
and Harold.
Your parents are on the next flight down, Theresa said.
What am I doing, Brian said sitting down.
Brian, is it the truth, Theresa said.
The baby is Nicks, Brian said.
So you lied to your sister, Brittany said.
Smart, man, she will hate you now, AJ said.
I just want her to be happy, Brian said.
She is happy, Rok, with Nick, you have seen them together, AJ said. Brian sat there staring at the floor.
