Four days later, Brizee was sitting in the living room when the phone rang.

      Hello, Brizee said.

      Is this Brizee? a woman asked.

      Yes, Brizee said.

      This is Ann Richardson, the woman said.

      Oh hi, Brizee said.

      I was wondering if you were coming up to meet me? Ann asked.

      Yeah, I guess I am, Brizee said.

      I have your ticket waiting at the gate for you, its under Brizee Carter because I didnt know if you took Kevins name, Ann said.

      No, I havent, Brizee said.

      Okay, you can come on up, Ann said.

      Okay, bye, Brizee said. She took Nicky to the Carters and went to the airport and got the ticket and got on the flight to Kentucky. Once it landed, she got off and rented a car and drove to the address Jane gave her. She walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. The door opened and there stood a woman.

      Hi, are you Ann? Brizee asked.

      Yes, Ann said.

      Im Brizee, Brizee said.

      Brizee, come on in, Ann said. Brizee went in.

      Nice house, Brizee said.

      Thank you, lets have a seat and get to know each other better, Ann said. They sat down.

      Kevin told me you are with Nick and you are pregnant with his second child, Ann said.

      Yes, Brizee said.

      Brizee, I know I cant tell you what to do, but you should give this marriage to my son a chance, Ann said.

      Hes still with Kristin, and I love Nick with all my heart and soul, Brizee said.

      Kevin told me he was bringing you, Ann said.

      He told me that Kristin was coming, Brizee said.

      Brizee, Kevin broke up with her, the day before they left the promo tour, he wants to work on the marriage, Ann said.

      He knows I love Nick, Brizee said.

      But Kevin loves you with everything in him, Ann said.

      I cant do this, Ann, it was nice to meet you but I have to go, Brizee said. She headed for the door and opened it and saw Kevin.

      Briz, Kevin said.

      You lied, you told me that Kris was coming, and you lied to get me to come! Brizee said.

      Briz, Kevin said. She slapped him.

      You bastard, you made Nick so mad at me that he doesnt want me anymore, Brizee said.

      I want you, Kevin said. He stepped close and kissed her. She pushed him away and ran to her rental car and drove to the airport and got on the next flight to Florida. She arrived in Florida and went to Nicks house. She went in and saw Nick on the couch.

      Nick, you have to help me, Brizee said.

      What are you doing here, Nick said.

      I cant be near Kevin, he is a liar, he broke up with Kristin the day before you guys left, Brizee said.

      WHAT! Nick said.

      Yeah, and he wants me, he has his mom on his side, he wont stop! Brizee said.

      I meant what I said, he can have you, Nick said.

      How can you say that, I dont love him, I dont want to be with him, I want to be with you, I love you! Brizee said.

      But you are married to Kevin! Nick said.

      Not by choice! Brizee said.

      I dont care anymore, Nick said.

      Do you love me, huh, do you! Brizee said.

      Yes, I do! Nick said.

      Then stop this and dont let me go! Brizee said. Nick hugged her. She buried her face in his chest.

      I cant let you go, I am so sorry, I love you so much, Nick said. Brizee looked up at him.

      Nick, make love to me and prove that you will always love me, Brizee said. Nick picked her up and carried her upstairs to the bedroom and closed the door and locked it and they laid on the bed and pulled each others clothes off and he gently and slowly made love to her. Afterwards, he laid beside her and pulled her close. She rested her head on his chest and smiled.

      My life would be empty without you, Brizee said.

      You will never lose me, never, Nick said.

      I dont want to be away from you, Brizee said.

      Never again, Nick said kissing her forehead.

Three weeks later, Brizee was five months along. Nick was over at Brians house. Brizee, wearing her maternity swimsuit, sat by the pool, relaxing. She heard a noise and looked up and saw Kristin.

      Hi Kristin, Brizee said.

      So you didnt go after Kevin, Kristin said.

      No, he wants me, but I dont want him, I am happy with Nick and I want to stay with Nick, Brizee said.

      I think Kevin really wants you, Kristin said.

      Kris, not you, too, I met Ann and she was trying to get me with Kevin, but I want to be with Nick, why cant anyone understand that, Brizee said.

      Because Nick is cheating on you, Kristin said.

      He wouldnt do that, Brizee said.

      Briz, he is, Kristin said.

      Nick is at Brians, I called over there and Nick answered the phone and I heard Brian in the background, Brizee said.

      Briz, Howie told me that during the promo tour, he would find a girl at every tour stop and have a one time deal with them, he would sleep with them, Kristin said.

      No, he wouldnt do that, Brizee said.

      Briz, its the truth, Kristin said.

      No, I refuse to believe it! Brizee said.

      Look, talk to Nick, okay, I gotta go, Kristin said. She left.
