An hour later, Nick, Kevin, AJ, and Howie returned with their purchases.
Brizee came downstairs with a sleeping Krystal.
"Hey baby, I got stuff for Krystal, clothes, accessories, a crib,
everything she needs," Nick said.
"He went crazy, Briz," AJ said.
"He's just excited to be a daddy," Brizee said.
"Yup," Nick said smiling.
"Where's Brian," Kevin said.
"He left," Brizee said. Nick looked at her. He took Krystal and
handed her to Kevin. He pulled Brizee upstairs to their bedroom and closed the door.
"What happened?" Nick asked.
"I slept with him, for the last time, it won't be happening again,
he knows I belong with you and Krystal and that you two are my life, he knows I love you with all my heart and soul," Brizee
said. Nick looked at her.
"Do you like to hurt me," Nick said.
"No, I didn't do it to hurt you, I did it to move on so I would
never hurt you, what Brian and I had is in the past, you and Krystal are my future," Brizee said.
"Was there protection?" Nick asked.
"Yes, he used a condom," Brizee said.
"Please don't do it again, Briz, I don't want to lose you again,"
Nick said. Brizee hugged him.
"You will never lose me, Nick, never," Brizee said.
"I can't bear to be without you again," Nick said burying his face
in her neck.
"I'm never going to leave you again," Brizee said. He kissed her
deeply and held her close. The door opened and AJ came in.
"Brian's in the hospital, he was in a car accident, it's really
bad, Howie and Kevin just headed to the hospital," AJ said.
"Let's go!" Nick said. They got Krystal and went to the hospital.
They saw Kevin and Howie in the waiting room.
"Kev, D," AJ said.
"They said he isn't expected to make it through the night," Kevin
said. Brizee sat down. Jane came in.
"Nick, AJ called me, this came to the house," Jane said. Nick looked
at it and looked at Brizee.
"You ended our marriage!" Nick said.
"Nick, not now," Brizee said.
"When did you do this?" Nick said.
"After I left you," Brizee said softly.
"And you weren't going to tell me," Nick said.
"I was going to, but the guys came and you left, then I was going
to tell you but AJ came in and told us about Brian," Brizee said.
"I can't believe you, we are over, done," Nick said. He walked out.
Brizee sat there. She hugged her legs and rested her forehead on her knees and cried softly. She looked up and saw Jane taking
Krystal.
"No, you are not taking her," Brizee said reaching for Krystal.
"Yes I am, Brizee, she deserves better, she belongs with her father,"
Jane said. She left. Brizee sank to the floor and cried. She felt hands on her shoulders. She looked up and saw AJ.
"I lost everything, AJ, I lost Nick, and I lost my baby, nothing
matters anymore," Brizee said. She got up.
"Briz," AJ said.
"No, just leave me alone," Brizee said crying. She left.
