AJ ran to the food court and found Nick sitting at a table on his
cell phone. AJ came to a stop and looked at Nick.
"Yeah, Mom, Briz and I are back together, yeah, Im waiting for her
to get off work, hold on, Bone, what is it," Nick said.
"Willa, shes at the store with a gun and was pointing it at Briz,"
AJ said.
"Mom, come down here now!" Nick said. He hung up and ran to the
store with AJ behind him. He ran in and saw Brian, Kevin, and Matt.
"Where is she!" Nick said.
"They are in the backroom, Willa said she will kill Brizee if anyone
goes near the backroom," Brian said. They heard a shout and then a gunshot. Nick froze in fear. The mall security guards came
in. They heard a scream and then a gunshot. The security guards went to the backroom and opened the door and went in. Brian
and Kevin stood with Nick. A crowd formed at the doorway of the store. One guard came out.
"Call 911!" he said. Nick ran in and saw Willa on the ground holding
her shoulder. The other security guard stood with Brizee comforting her.
"It went off by accident, she wanted to kill me, I had to prevent
it but I never meant to shoot her," Brizee said.
"We understand, Brizee, it was self defense," the guard said.
"I wasnt going to shoot her, I just wanted her to get the message
to leave Nick alone," Willa said.
"We were over a long time ago, Willa, you were never going to get
me back," Nick said.
"Nick," Brizee said. She moved over to him and he pulled her close
and held her.
"Is she under arrest?" Nick said.
"She isnt but she is," the guard said pointing to Willa. The paramedics
arrived and took Willa. The cops arrived and one went with Willa after one of the guards filled them in. The other cop questioned
Brian, AJ, Kevin, Nick, Matt, and Brizee.
"Briz, you can go on home, I think you need rest," Matt said.
"Yeah, Im tired," Brizee said.
"Nick, take her home and put her to bed," Matt said.
"Yes, sir," Nick said. Brizee got her stuff and left with Nick,
Kevin, AJ, and Brian. Nick took her home and put her to bed.
"Why your house?" Brizee asked as Nick put a blanket over her. Nick
looked at her.
"I want you here with me," Nick said.
"I love you, Nicky," Brizee said.
"I love you, too, and we can get married again," Nick said.
"You want to marry me again?" Brizee asked.
"Yes, I do, Briz, I want to be with you and our baby, forever,"
Nick said putting his hand gently on her stomach.
"How about soon, before I get too big," Brizee said. The doorbell
rang.
"Ill be back and it will be soon," Nick said kissing her lips and
he went downstairs and opened the door and saw his mom.
"Hi honey," Jane said hugging him.
"Hey Mama," Nick said.
"Hows Brizee," Jane said.
"Shes fine, resting upstairs," Nick said.
"Are you two back together?" Jane asked.
"Yup, and getting remarried soon," Nick said.
"Thats good, honey, Brizee is the perfect match for you," Jane said.
Nick smiled.
"I know she is, I know you think that because of the two hour lecture
you gave me when I ended the marriage," Nick said.
"You let her go, that was not the right choice," Jane said.
"Mama, you are going to be a grandmother," Nick said.
"What," Jane said.
"Briz is six months pregnant with my child," Nick said. Jane went
upstairs and saw Brizee and smiled.
"Brizee," Jane said.
"Hi Jane," Brizee said. Jane sat down and hugged Brizee.
"Nick just told me that Im going to be a grandmother," Jane said.
Brizee pointed to her stomach.
"Yup," Brizee said.
"You have no idea how happy I am, I was very mad at Nick for letting
you go, he had to listen to the two hour lecture I gave him," Jane said. Brizee smiled.
"Yeah, I was upset and didnt know why he ended things," Brizee said.
"Well, the important thing is that you two are back together and
having a baby, and getting married again," Jane said.
"I know, he is special," Brizee said smiling at Nick.
"Yes, he is," Jane said. Jane left after that and Brizee laid there.
Nick came in and closed the door and locked it and laid beside her and kissed her deeply.
"I love you so much," Nick said.
"I love you, too," Brizee said. He slid a hand under her shirt and
caressed her stomach.
"Briz, I want to make love to you," Nick said kissing her neck.
"Please be gentle," Brizee said.
"I will, I dont want to hurt our baby," Nick said stroking her stomach.
He lifted her shirt off and undid her bra and pulled off her pants and underwear and gazed her body.
"I have changed, I know," Brizee said.
"Im just gazing at what our baby has done to you and you still look
beautiful," Nick said kissing her stomach. He removed his clothes and he gently made love to her. Afterwards, they laid there
holding each other. He rested a hand on her stomach.
"Six months, of me being an idiot and what do I miss, almost everything,
your first appointment, first ultrasound," Nick said.
"I have an appointment tomorrow morning," Brizee said.
"I want to be there," Nick said.
"I want you there," Brizee said. They held each other.
