Three hours later,
Hayley was back in the nursery and Brizee was laying down in bed. Theresa and
Kevin came in and saw her.
Brizee, Theresa said.
I made the biggest mistake of my life, Brizee said crying.
Oh Briz, Theresa said hugging her.
Want me to go find him? Kevin asked.
No, he wont come back, he knows that I was serious,
but now I wish he would come back, I love him so much, Brizee said. Jane came in. Theresa and Kevin left the room.
Briz, Jane said.
I hate myself, for making him leave, Brizee said.
Do you want to be with him, Jane said.
I want to be with him forever, Brizee said.
Lets get to work, Jane said.
Three months
later, Brizee arrived at the beach. She saw everything set up and ready to go. She carried Hayley over to the tent and went
in and saw Jane, Angel, BJ, Theresa, Brittany, and Leslie there.
There she is, Leslie said.
Is everything set? Brizee asked.
Yes, the guys told Nick that Brian and Britt were getting married at the beach so
hes getting ready, BJ said. Brizee smiled.
I hope it all turns out the way we planned, Jane, Brizee said.
We do, too, Jane said. Bob came in.
Hello ladies, Bob said.
Hi Bob, Brittany, Brizee, and Theresa said.
Hi Dad, BJ, Leslie, and Angel said.
Hi honey, Jane said.
I am ready to walk the bride down the aisle, Bob said. Brizee smiled.
Thanks, Bob, Brizee said hugging him.
I have a feeling that you will be calling me Dad soon, Bob said. Brizee smiled.
I hope so, Brizee said. They heard voices
outside the tent.
I want to go in and see my mother, Nick said.
Nick, you cant, you will see her later, Brian said.
Why not! Nick said.
Because they all are getting ready in there, Brian said.
Whatever, Nick said.
Brizee looked
at Jane. Jane went out and walked over to the guys.
Hi honey, Jane said.
Mom, you look great, Nick said.
Thanks, honey, so do you, Jane said. Angel came out with Hayley.
Nick, look who I have, Angel said. Nick
smiled and took Hayley into his arms.
Shes getting more beautiful, Nick said.
Yeah, she is, Jane said.
Is Briz here? Nick asked.
Yeah, shes in the tent with the girls, Jane said.
I need to talk to her, Nick said.
Later, Nick, Angel said. BJ, Leslie, and Theresa came out.
All ready, Theresa said.
Lets get started, Jane said. Everyone
took their places. Brian stood behind Nick.
Frick, arent you suppose to be in front, Nick said.
Nope, not my wedding, Brian said as Britt walked down the aisle.
What, Nick said.
This is YOUR wedding day, Brian said. Nick looked and saw Brizee and his father walking
towards him.
Oh my god, Nick said softly.
Brizee and your mother planned this, Brian whispered.
Bob and Brizee stood in front of him.
Shall we? Brizee asked him. Nick grinned.
Lets do it, Nick said. The ceremony began. The minister asked for the vows.
Oh man, I dont have any, Im sorry, Nick said.
Nick, just make some up, Jane said calmly.
Ill begin, Brizee said.
Ok, Nick said.
Nick, we have known each other for like our whole lives, and I never want there to
be a day without you in it, that day in the hospital, when I yelled at you to leave, after you left, I knew I made the biggest
mistake of my life, I am sorry for that day and I know there will never be a day like that again because I dont want you out
of my life, I want you in it, I love you so much, there is no one else for me, you are the only one for me, Brizee said. Nick
smiled.
Brizee, I have loved you for a long time, I know I never want to stop loving you,
these last three months have been bad for me, because I was missing you, and now were getting married and I know there will
never be any more bad days, because you wont be there, Nick said glaring at her.
What, Brizee whispered. Jane looked at her son.
You think I want to marry you after that day, you deeply hurt me when you told me
that it was over and yelled at me to leave, I cant get over it, I look at you and all I can remember is you yelling at me
to get out and leave you alone, well, Im going to leave you alone now, Nick said. He walked off. Brizee stood there watching
him go and turned and ran into the tent and collapsed and cried. She felt arms around her and looked up and saw Kevin.
I lost him, Kev, its my fault! Brizee said crying. Kevin hugged her close and stroked
her head. Jane came in and Kevin left the tent. Brizee looked up at Jane and looked back at her hands.
I hurt him, Jane, Im sorry, Brizee said.
Bob went after him, dont go anywhere yet, Jane said.
Brizee looked up at her.
I lost him, Jane, its over, Brizee said. Bob came in and looked at Brizee.
Brizee, I believe its my job to walk you down the aisle, Bob said.
What, Brizee and Jane said.
Come on, Bob said pulling her up and they walked out and Brizee saw Nick standing
there beside Brian. Brizee looked at Bob.
He wants to be with you forever, Bob said. They walked up to Nick. Nick took Brizees
hands in his and looked in her eyes.
Can we continue, Reverend, Nick said.
Would you like to say your vows again? the minister said.
I would like to say my vows again, her vows said a lot, Nick said.
Proceed, the minister said.
Briz, it would be stubborn of me to let you go, thats why Im not letting you go for
the rest of our lives, what I said before, it was the hurt talking but now I dont want to lose you, you are my life, without
you, Im nothing, when you were going to see my family in LA, when the terrorist attacks happened, when I thought you were
on that plane that hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center, I thought I lost you and Hayley for good, I thought my life
was over right there, I didnt think I could go on without you or Hayley, but you didnt get on the plane, because Hayley saved
you, she is a special little girl, I never want there to be a day without you in it, I love you, Nick said. Brizee smiled
and squeezed his hands.
Ditto, Brizee said.
Brizee, do you have anything to say about that, the minister said.
Just that, Nick, my life would be over if you werent in it, I want to be with you
for the rest of my life, Brizee said. Nick smiled.
Is there anyone who thinks they should not be married, speak now or forever hold
your peace, the minister said. Everyone was quiet.
I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride, the minister said.
Nick smiled and
pulled Brizee close and kissed her deeply. Everyone clapped. Nick and Brizee
broke the kiss and turned to everyone and smiled.
I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Nickolas Gene Carter, the minister said. Everyone cheered. Brizee took Hayley and hugged her. Nick hugged them.
My family, Nick said nuzzling Brizees neck.
Yup, Brizee said smiling up at him.
So, Mrs. Carter, is there a honeymoon? Nick asked. Brizee grinned.
Yes, and Theresa and Kevin are going to watch Hayley while we are gone, Brizee said.
Where are we going? Nick said.
Hawaii, Brizee said. Nick smiled.
Lets go, Nick said. Theresa took Hayley. Nick and Brizee hugged everyone and left
for the airport.
