Brizee stared at him. She didnt move. She rubbed her eyes.

      Briz, its not your imagination, Im really here, Nick said moving close to her. She ran to him and hugged him tight.

      Oh god, Nick, I thought you were never coming home! Brizee said burying her face in his neck.

      Me, too, but I am home and Im not going anywhere, Nick said. Brizee looked at him.

      Where were you, Brizee asked. Nick told her the story. She pulled away and turned away.

      Brizee, I know everything that went on, there was a camera and I heard and saw everything, Nick said.

      You know about the baby, Brizee said.

      Yeah, Brizee, it was not your fault that you lost the baby, Nick said.

      I feel like I disappointed everyone, Brizee said.

      Brizee, its not the end of the world, Im here now and not going anywhere, you can get pregnant again, Nick said.

      What if I have another miscarriage, Brizee said.

      Brizee, Dr. Kelly said you got too stressed out worrying about Nick and that caused the miscarriage, if you get pregnant again and not get stressed, then you will have a baby, Brian said.

      And Im not going anywhere, okay, Im home, Nick said.

      You two need time alone, so we are going to head out, Brian said. He hugged Nick and Brizee and left with Kevin. Jane and Bob hugged them and left.

      I just want to hold you and never let go, Brizee said.

      I have no problem with that, Nick said. He pulled her close and they kissed softly and gently. The kiss deepened and Nick held her close as they kissed deeply.

The next day, the guys held a press conference and everyone was happy to see Nick back.

      We will start up the tour again in a month, we are giving Nick time to relax and get back in the swing of things before going back on the road, Brian said.

      Nick, this question has been making its way around, are you dating anybody? A reporter asked.

      Im happy being single, I have went on a few dates, Nick said. Brian and Kevin looked at each other.

      Someone saw a girl traveling with you on your bus, and you two are always hugging and kissing and holding hands, a reporter said. Nick looked at the guys.

      The girl traveling with me is my best friend, we are very close, but shes not my girlfriend, shes just my best friend, we fool around a lot but its not very serious, Nick said. AJ looked at him.

After the press conference was over, Nick went home and went into the house and found Brizee sitting on the couch.

      Nothing serious, Brizee said.

      Briz, I only say that to keep you safe, I dont want my private life to be public, if the fans found out about you, they would go nuts, they would do the same thing to you as they did Willa, they almost tore her apart when they found out about me and her, Nick said. Brizee looked at her hands.

      What you said really hurt, Brizee said. Nick sat down and pulled her into his lap.

      I love you, Brizee, what they dont know, the better, you will be safe, I would not let anything happen to you, I will protect you with everything I have, and the only way is for no one to know about you, only the guys and my family, and your parents, Nick said. She rested her head on his shoulder.

      So you arent ashamed of me? Brizee asked.

      Never, I love you, okay, you are my wife and its my job to protect you, Nick said.
