Nick was writing something when he
looked up and saw Brizee coming downstairs in his favorite jersey.
Hey, baby, wheres Jas? Nick asked.
Kev and T took him and Kevy to the park, we have time alone, Brizee said sitting in lap facing him.
And what should we do with this time alone, Nick said rubbing her legs.
I think you know, and I have to tell you something, this jersey is all I have on, Brizee said.
Oh really, Nick said. Brizee started
kissing his neck. Mmhmm, Brizee said between kisses.
Brizee, baby, I need to get this done, Nick said.
But I want you so bad, Brizee said as she kissed his collarbone.
Well make love later, okay, I want to get this done so I can be with you and Jason for the rest of the night, Nick
said.
Nick, we are alone, lets take advantage of it, Brizee said running her hands down his chest.
Baby, please, cant it wait until later, Nick said. Brizee did her puppy dog look.
But I want you so bad it hurts, Brizee said running her hands down to his crotch and she put one hand down his pants
and started rubbing him.
God, baby, Nick said. She knew she had him. He pulled off the jersey and his clothes followed and they made love on
the floor of the studio. Afterwards they laid there holding each other.
I love you so much, Nicky, Brizee said.
I love you, too, now can I get this done, Nick said.
I wanna sing, Brizee said.
Sing what, Nick said.
A song and I want you to record it and send it to my parents, for their anniversary, Brizee said.
What song, Nick said getting out his cds.
Life Goes On by LeAnn Rimes, they love that song, Brizee said.
All right, Nick said. He got everything ready. She put the jersey on while Nick got dressed. She sat down on the stool
and Nick started up and Brizee sang the song. After she was done, she came around and wrapped her arms around Nick.
Thanks, baby, Brizee said. He gave her the cd and she kissed him deeply.
Youll be getting more tonight, baby, Nick said smiling at her.
I hope so, Brizee said.
You will, I promise, Nick said. She kissed him hungrily.
I cant wait, Brizee said.
Neither can I, Nick said pulling her down on the floor. The doorbell rang. Nick groaned.
Ill get it, you go get some clothes on, Nick said kissing her lips softly. He got up and went upstairs. She ran up
and ran upstairs and got dressed. She went downstairs and saw her parents.
Mom, Dad, hi, Brizee said. Jackie hugged her close.
Hi honey, we just had to come down and see you, Jackie said.
I have something for you, if I remember correctly, its your anniversary, right? Brizee said.
Yes, it is, but honey, you didnt have to get us anything, Jackie said.
No, its nothing, just a cd of me singing, Brizee said.
Oh really, lets listen, Jackie said. They went into the living room and Nick put the CD in and pushed play. They listened
to Brizee singing Life Goes On. After it was over, Brizee looked at her parents.
We love that song, Jackie said.
I know, thats why I recorded it for you, well, I sung it and Nick recorded it, Brizee said. Jackie hugged Brizee close.
Thank you so much, sweetie, well take it home and listen to it all the time, Jackie said.
Youre welcome, Mom, Brizee said.
I love you, sweetie, Harold said kissing the top of her head.
I love you, too, Dad, both of you, I couldnt ask for better parents, you two are the best, I just wish we didnt miss
all those years, Brizee said.
The important thing is we are back to the way things should be, Jackie said.
Thats right, you are back with us, Harold said.
Kevin and Theresa came in with Kevy
and Jason.
Theres our grandson and great nephew! Harold said. Jackie went over and Kevin handed Jason to her and Jackie sat down.
Jason definitely looks like his daddy, Jackie said.
Yeah, he does, Brizee said smiling at Nick. He smiled back.
I thought we would have to wait for Brian to have kids before we could have more grandchildren, since Harold JR has
kids, but now that we have you back, Brizee, we dont have to, Nick, Brizee, dont let anyone take this little guy away from
you, you dont want to know what its like to have one of your kids taken away from you, Jackie said.
Mom, what was it like for you, please tell me, Brizee said. Jackie handed Jason to Nick and looked at Brizee.
It felt like a part of me was missing, that I had nothing else to live for, but your father made me realize that there
is Harold JR and Brian who need me, but I didnt have you, youre our only daughter and you were gone, and I felt like someone
ripped my heart out and stomped on it, Jackie said.
It was a bad time, Brizee, we didnt know how we were going to get through, I regret what I did, but I didnt want to
lose your mother or brothers, so I had no choice, Harold said.
But we have you back now and thats all that matters, lets put the past behind us and move on together as a family,
Jackie said. Brizee hugged her.
I love you, Mom, Brizee said.
I love you, too, Jackie said.
That night, Brizee laid there after
Nick went to sleep. She stared at the ceiling. Something wasnt right. And she
was going find out what the truth was. The next morning, she got up and got dressed and left a note for Nick and left.
