Two weeks went by. Brizee sat in the kitchen at her parents house. She had gone
to the doctor and found out that she was three months pregnant.
I cant believe this, Brizee said softly. Harold JR came in and sat down.
Are you going to tell Nick? Harold JR said.
No, he doesnt need this, Brizee said.
He doesnt need to know that hes going to be a father! Brizee, you are crazy and stubborn! Harold JR said. Brizee looked
at him.
I know, Harold JR, but his dream has come true, hes now recording a solo album, Brizee said.
But he needs you, I am calling him and getting him up here because you two need to talk, Harold JR said.
No! Brizee said.
Briz, its the right thing to do! Harold JR said. He called Nick.
Hes on his way, okay, and you are not moving from this house until he gets here, you arent going anywhere, period,
Harold JR said looking at her. Brizee nodded and went into the living room. She
knew he was right. Four hours later, the doorbell rang. She got up and opened the door and saw Nick standing there. He came
in and she closed the door. He sat down. She sat down.
Whats up, Nick said.
Im three months pregnant, Brizee said softly.
Thats it, you are coming back with me, Nick said.
No, Brizee said.
I am not letting my baby be raised alone, I am going to be there whether you like it or not, Nick said.
Nick, Brizee said.
You and I are getting married, okay, end of story, Nick said.
NO! Brizee cried.
What is going on with you, you are acting like you dont love me anymore! Nick said.
Maybe you should go, Brizee said.
Tell me you dont love me and Ill leave, Nick said. She looked at him.
I dont love you, Brizee said lying. She got up and went upstairs. Nick sat there. Harold JR came in.
Shes lying, Harold JR whispered.
Take care of her, Nick said. He left. Harold JR went upstairs and saw Brizee sitting by the window looking out. He
went over to her.
You are a liar, Harold JR said.
I know, Brizee said crying. He hugged her.
You lost him for good, I dont think hell be yours anymore, Harold JR said. Brizee cried.
All I needed was time! Brizee cried.
You had enough, and you still didnt go back to him, Harold JR said.
I know! Brizee said crying.
You should go back to Florida, go to Brian or Kevin, Harold JR said. Brizee nodded and packed. She went to the doctors
office and got the ok to fly. She got her records and went to the airport and got on the next flight to Florida. She got off the plane and went out to the gate and saw Brian and Kevin standing there. She knew Harold
JR must have called them. Brian came over.
Hey sis, Brian said hugging her. They went to Brians house and Brizee
told them everything.
Ill talk to him, Brian said.
No, forget it, Brizee said.
I think she means she wants to do it by herself, Kevin said.
I just need time to think, Brizee said.
Three months later, she was six months
along and heard Nick was in town at the studio recording.
Brian, Brizee said.
Yeah, sis, Brian said.
I want to sing, Brizee said.
You want to be a singer, Brian said.
Yeah, Brizee said. He hugged her.
Cool, Ill talk to Kevin about it, you can sign onto our label, Brian said.
Three days later, Brian, Howie, and
AJ were at Kevins house. Brizee was upstairs with Theresa and Brittany.
Whats up, AJ said.
Wait until Nick gets here, Brian said. Kevin sat down with them. Nick comes in.
Hey whats up, Nick said.
We have a new singer who is going to sign onto our label, Kevin and I know her and shes really good, she has what it
takes, Brian said.
So, who is she, Nick said. Brizee came downstairs.
Me, Brizee said coming into the living room. AJ and Howie got up and hugged her.
Girl, you have changed! AJ said.
Shes six months pregnant, Bone! Kevin said.
So you are, girl, AJ said hugging her. Nick got up and went out back. Brian came over to Brizee.
Heres your chance, Brian said. Brizee nodded and went out back and saw Nick sitting there.
Hi, Brizee said.
What brought you back, Nick said.
An airplane, plus, you were right, Brizee said.
Oh I was, huh, Nick said. Brizee held out the engagement ring he gave her.
If you dont want me to have this, take it, otherwise, Ill put it on my finger, Brizee said. Nick looked at her. He
grabbed it. Brizee turned and headed back in. He grabbed her hand and gently pulled her back. He slid the ring onto her finger.
Dont you ever leave me again, itll kill me, Nick said. Brizee nodded. He kissed her softly.
Harold JR was right, I was lying when I said I didnt love you, Brizee said crying. He cupped her face in his hands.
I know, he told me, I just wanted to make you happy, Nick said.
I was miserable, I dont know what I was thinking of leaving you, it was the biggest mistake I have ever made, Brizee
said. Nick kissed her deeply. He slid his hands down to her stomach.
Our baby, Nick said.
Yeah, Brizee said smiling. He kissed her hungrily and held her close as he could without hurting her.
Brian, Kevin, Brittany, Theresa, AJ,
and Howie stood at the door and smiled. Kevin stood behind Theresa and rested his hands on her stomach. Theresa was two days
past her due date. She gasped.
Kev, its time, Theresa said.
Briz, Nick, lets go! Brian said. They all went to the hospital. Brizee, Nick, Brian, Brittany, Howie, and AJ sat in
the waiting room. An hour later, Kevin came out.
Its a boy! Kevin said. Everyone cheered.
What are you going to name him, Brizee said.
Kevin Jr, Kevin said smiling.
We can call him Kevy, Brizee said. Kevin laughed.
You do, cuz, and Ill hurt ya, Kevin said.
Dont even think about it, Kev, Nick said wrapping his arms around her.
I know, she does have a good idea, Kevy is fine, Kevin said. Brizee got up and hugged him.
Congratulations, cuz, Brizee said.
Thanks, Briz, hes in the nursery if you all want to see him, Kevin said. They all went to the nursery and saw the baby.
Hes beautiful, Kev, Brizee said smiling.
I know, I cant believe it, Im a father, Kevin said.
Im going to be next, Nick said wrapping his arms around Brizee and resting his hands on her stomach.
We know, Kaos, we know, and we cant wait to be uncles, right guys, AJ said.
Yup, Brian said. Howie nodded. They went to Theresas room and sat around and talked.
