Jane came over the next day and
took Nicky for the day promising to not to let anyone take him. Jane was leaving just as Brian walked up the front walk.
Hi Jane, Brian said.
Hi Brian, Jane said. Brizee waved. Jane got Nicky settled in the car and stood up and looked and saw Brian kissing
Brizee. She got into her car and went to the house. She went in and saw Aaron and Nick playing the playstation.
Hey guys, Jane said. They said hi.
Nick, I have Nicky, Jane said. Nick paused the game and looked up and got up and came over and kissed his sons forehead.
Is Briz okay? Nick asked.
Yeah, I would say shes fine, Jane said.
What do you mean, Nick said.
Well, Brian showed up as I was leaving, after I put Nicky in his car seat, I looked up and saw them kissing, Jane said.
WHAT! Nick yelled. Nicky started crying.
Dont yell, Jane said trying to calm Nicky down.
I cant believe this! Nick said.
I thought Brian was dating Leighanne, Aaron said.
I thought so, too, Nick said. He stood there.
Nick, dont, Jane said.
I have to, I love her with everything in me, Mom, she said its over, I refuse to give up! Nick said. He walked out
the door.
Meanwhile, Brizee and Brian laid
there in bed. Brizee looked at Brian and sighed.
What, Brian said.
Why did we do this, Brian, what happened with Leighanne, Brizee said.
I told her that I was still in love with you, she understood and let me come to see how I felt, Brian said.
How do you feel, Brizee said.
Briz, I think Im in love with her, Brian said.
I think I love Nick more than anything now, but I cant get past what he did, Brizee said.
I know, Brian said. The door crashed open and Nick stood there. Brizee sat up.
Nick! Brizee said.
I knew it! Nick said. Brian sat up.
Nick, listen, Brian said.
Listen, I knew this would happen, what about Leighanne! Nick said.
Im in love with Leighanne, she knows about this, sleeping with Brizee made me realize that Im in love with Leighanne,
not with Brizee, and it shouldnt matter because you and Briz are over, Brian said.
She is still my wife and the mother of my son! Nick said.
I gotta go, you two talk, Brian said getting up and getting dressed. He left. Nick stood there. Brizee got up and got
dressed. She sat on the bed. She looked at him.
Sleeping with Brian made me realize just how much I love you, but I cant get past what you did, Brizee said.
Kevin said there was something brewing between you and Brian, I wanted to come home but he told me something would
happen and wanted me to find out before I came back, so it wouldnt hurt me, he didnt want me to get hurt, I told him that
I had faith in you and trusted you, I still do, Nick said.
But you didnt reveal that you were alive, you didnt trust me enough to come home, when I wanted you to! Brizee said.
Briz, I love you so much, Nick said.
If you loved me, you would have come home as soon as you were able to inside of hiding in the shadows and watching
me, Brizee said.
Brizee, why cant we get past this and be together, I know what I did was wrong and Im sorry, but I will spend the rest
of my life making it up to you, Nick said.
I cant go through this again, I cant do it, I cant give my heart again, Brizee said. Nick knelt down in front of her.
Brizee, please, Im begging you, dont end what we had, Nick said. She looked at him.
