That
night, Nick laid there watching Brizee sleep in her bed. He smiled at the thought of them being married again even though
she didnt remember them breaking up. He told himself not to take advantage of it. She was shaking and she sat up screaming.
Nick got up and carefully walked over to her bed and sat beside her.
Hey, Nick said. Brizee looked at him and sank against him.
Oh, god, Nick, it was horrible, Brizee said.
Do you want to talk about it? Nick asked.
I have to ask, did Lou do anything bad to you guys, Brizee
said. Nick nodded.
You name it, he did it, Nick said.
He was in my dream, Nick, he came after you and made a pass
at you in front of me and told me I would never have you because you were his, Brizee said.
Man, some dream, but its not real, Brizee, Nick said.
It seemed that way, Brizee said.
He did make a pass at me, but that was about it, Kevin made
sure it never happened again, Nick said.
Oh god, Brizee said. Nick hugged her. Dr. Kelly came in.
Nick, is she okay? Dr. Kelly asked.
She had a nightmare, Brizee said.
Brizee, do you want to talk about it, Dr. Kelly said.
Maybe later, Brizee said leaning against Nick.
Well, you rest, okay, and Ill be back to check on you, and
Nick, get in that bed before Dr. Thomas sees you out of bed, Dr. Kelly said.
Yes, maam, Nick said. He hugged Brizee and went back to his
bed.
Two
days later, Nick and Brizee were released from the hospital. Jane and Bob brought them home.
This is where we live? Brizee asked looking around.
Yup, this is Nicks house, Jane said. They went inside. Brizee
looked around the house.
Wow, nice, Brizee said. Laura came in.
Brizee, Laura said hugging her.
Mom! Brizee said.
Thank god you are okay, your father wanted to come but he couldnt
get off work, but he told me to tell you that he hopes you get better and he loves you, Laura said.
Tell him that I love him, too, Brizee said.
BJ and Leslie are bringing Nicky over, Jane said.
Nicky? Brizee asked.
Your son, Brizee, his name is Nickolas Robert Carter, you guys
call him Nicky, Jane said.
Oh, Brizee said. BJ and Leslie came in.
Brizee, this is Nicky, Jane said taking Nicky and showing him
to Brizee. She looked at him. She took him.
He does look like Nick, Brizee said.
Yeah, he does, Jane said.
He has your nose, Brizee, Laura said.
Yeah, I guess he does, Jane said.
I still cant believe this, Brizee said.
Three
months later, Nick and the guys were at the studio. Brian looked at Nick.
Hey, hows Briz? Brian asked.
Still trying to get her memory back, Im scared, Nick said.
Why, Brian said.
Well, she couldnt be with me again, what if she remembers and
leaves me, Nick said.
Nick, you and Brizee are married, and you have a son and another
baby on the way, Brian said.
Shes already complaining about being pregnant, Nick said.
She is only four months pregnant, Brian said.
I know, Nick said.
I know you love her, man, Brian said.
Yeah, I do, more than anything, Nick said.
I know you two belong together, once she has her memory back,
you have to get her to realize that you two are meant to be together, Brian said.
I will have to, Nick said.
After
they were done, he went home and saw Brizee sitting there. She looked up at him.
The last thing I remember was hearing this big crash, and everything
went black, Brizee said.
You have your memory back, Nick said sitting down.
What happened, Brizee said.
Well, when I was in a car accident, you took Nicky to my parents
and with BJ and Leslie watching him, you headed to the hospital with my parents and Aaron and Angel, you guys were in a car
accident on the way, and you hit your head and you had amnesia for the last three months, and you only remembered being twenty,
and then a marriage license was delivered, you and I are married again, Nick said.
Oh god, what about Brian? Brizee said.
He told me that you and I belong together, that we are meant
to be together, Nick said.
But you hurt me too much, Brizee said.
I know, I know, Brizee, and I am so sorry, Ill spend the rest
of my life making it up to you, I need you, Briz, I love you so much, Nick said.
God Nick, I love you, too, Brizee said.
Can we be together, please, Nick said.
Yes, Brizee said. Nick kissed her hungrily.
How about we go out on my boat, just you and me, Nick said.
Brizee looked at him.
What about Nicky? Brizee asked.
He can stay with my parents, Nick said.
How about driving to Key West and renting a suite, and spend
the weekend there, Brizee said.
You dont want to go out on the boat, Nick said.
Not while Im pregnant, I am dealing with morning sickness,
Brizee said.
But I want to go out on the boat, Nick whined. Brizee glared
at him.
Fine, well go to Key West, I just want to be with you, Nick
said wrapping his arms around her.
