Two months later, Brizee sat there in the bathroom staring at
the stick in her hand. She threw it away and sat down. She and Nick had moved into their new house in Tampa. Brizee wasnt
feeling good. She took a home pregnancy test and it came out positive. She was pregnant, with Aarons baby. She leaned over
and cried. Nick came in and saw her.
Briz, Nick said.
It was positive, Brizee said crying.
Damn him, Nick said.
I dont know what to do, Brizee said crying.
You are having this baby, and Im the father, okay, no one else can know its Aarons baby, we will tell everyone its
mine, Nick said.
Nick, I dont want to lie, Brizee said crying.
Briz, if this gets out, they are going to think you had an affair with my brother, Nick said.
But I didnt! Brizee said.
I know that but the world doesnt, Nick said.
Why do you want to do this, Brizee said.
We are married, you are my wife, Nick said.
But we arent in love, Brizee said.
I know, Nick said.
I dreamed of getting married and having babies, but I didnt expect to be married and having my husbands brothers child,
Brizee said.
From now on, its our child, okay, we can do this, Brizee, we can, Nick said.
You sure about this? Brizee asked.
I care about you, okay, you are my wife and I want to help you through this, Nick said.
I have a confession to make, Brizee said.
What is it, Nick said.
I wish this baby was yours, Brizee said. Nick looked at her.
Brizee? Nick asked.
I wish it was you that night, I thought it was you, I wanted it to be you, Brizee said.
You wanted it to be me? Nick asked.
Yes, you are my husband, you always talked about having a family and I wanted to be the one to give you that family,
although I was shocked when I saw the marriage license, Brizee said.
Brizee, Nick said.
What, Brizee said.
I am in love with you, Nick said. He sat beside her and she looked at him. He leaned in and kissed her lips softly.
The kiss deepened and she laid on the couch with him gently on top of her. They were making out heavily when the doorbell
rang. Nick groaned and got up and opened the door and saw Brian. He came in and saw Brizee. Brizee got up and hugged him.
Hey, Brian said. He sat down and Nick and Brizee told him everything.
I could strangle that little brat, Brian said.
Brian, you cant tell anyone the truth, everyone has to know that the baby is Nicks, Brizee said.
I wont tell a soul, Brian said. They talked a little bit.
