The next day, Nick was leaving to go catch up with Aaron on tour.
Nick,
you know I cant fly, Brizee said.
I
really want you with me, Nick said.
Nick,
I know, and I do, too, but the baby, Nick, Dr. Kelly said I cant fly, Brizee said.
When
can you? Nick asked.
I
dont know yet, Ill ask the next time I have an appointment, Brizee said.
Briz,
I want you with me, I love you, Nick said.
Nick,
baby, Ill be fine, dont worry, Im a tough girl, you should know that, you go have fun and give Aaron a hug for me, Brizee
said.
Maybe
I should call Dr. Kelly, Nick said.
Nickolas,
Brizee said.
Briz,
I dont want to leave you, Nick said.
Aaron
wants to see you and so does your mother, you go and get on that plane and go to them! Brizee said. Nick looked at her.
Briz,
I want you to come with me! Nick said.
Nick,
I cant! Brizee said.
Cant
or dont want to! Nick said.
I
cant, Nick, doctors orders, Im four months pregnant, I cant fly, Brizee said.
I
cant believe this, you dont want to come! Nick said.
I
would come if I wasnt pregnant! Brizee said.
Are
you regretting this, do you want this baby! Nick said.
Of
course I do, Nick, you know how I feel about adoption and abortion, this baby is a part of you and me, I want this baby, why
are you asking me this! Brizee said.
I
gotta go, Nick said grabbing his bags.
Nick,
please, understand, Brizee said.
I
just cant right now, Nick said. He walked out the door. Brizee watched him go
and she closed the door and sat down. She called Theresa. Ten minutes later, Theresa came in.
Whats
going on, Theresa said sitting down beside her. Brizee looked at her.
Nick
hates me, Brizee said.
Why?
Theresa asked.
Because
I wouldnt go with him to see Aaron, Dr. Kelly doesnt want me to fly in my condition, Nick couldnt understand, Brizee said.
Briz,
Theresa said.
I
love him so much, T, and hes mad at me because of what Dr. Kelly said, Im just following doctors orders, then he had to ask
me if I wanted the baby, Brizee said with tears in her eyes.
What
did you tell him? Theresa said.
I
told him I wanted the baby, I dont like adoption or abortion, he knows that, Brizee said.
Let
him cool down, hell call once he realizes what he said to you, Theresa said.
I
dont want to lose him, T, I dont, I love him so much, Brizee said. Theresa hugged her tight.
She left an hour later. Brizee laid down on the couch. The phone rang.
Hello,
Brizee said.
Hi
Briz, its Jane, Jane said.
Hi
Jane, Nicks on his way, Brizee said.
Okay,
Ill tell Aaron, hows the baby doing? Jane asked.
I
sense someone anxious to be a grandmother, Brizee said.
You
got that right, my first grandchild, I cant wait, anyways, whats wrong, Jane said.
Nick
is mad at me, Jane, Brizee said. Brizee went on to tell Jane about what Nick
said to her when he was leaving.
Ill
talk to him, okay, and I bet hell be calling you begging for forgiveness, Jane said.
I
really wanted to come, Jane, but Dr. Kelly doesnt want me flying while Im pregnant, Brizee said.
I
understand, Briz, get some rest, okay, Jane said.
Okay,
bye Jane, Brizee said.
Bye, Briz, Jane said. Brizee hung up and laid down and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
