A month had passed and Trisha and AJ had just moved into a new house down in Orlando along with the girls. Nick and Sara were house shopping to make room for their new addition. Trisha walked around the empty house trying to figure out where she was going to put one of her lamps, when screams came wailing from the baby monitor that was set up in almost every room of the house. She quickly rushed down the hall and into the babies nursery.
“Shhh,.. shhh it’s ok mommys here”she said softly, as she leaned down to pick up Ailssa as Ally slept peacefully in the crib next to her. She soothingly rocked Alissa in her arms as she began to calm a bit. She quietly crept out of the room and down the long hall until she came back into the living room. Trisha walked over to the playpin that was set up in the middle of the floor. She softly lowered Alissa down into the pin and put her down, as she grabbed the binkie and placed it in her mouth.
Later that night she fed and changed the girls and put them down to sleep. She walked into the living room and put on one of her excise tapes on the big screen and did her daily work out. So far she lost half of the wait she gained from the pregnancy and was down to a size 7. She wanted to get back in shape for their up coming tour that would be in 6 months, she had plenty of time, but preferred to get things done ahead of time. It was pouring down rain outside and the wind was howling, she started to get worried about AJ, who normally got home from the studio around 9:00 but it was already 10:00 and there was no sign of him, no call or anything. Sure enough AJ opened the door and walked in soaking wet. Trisha ran to get him a towel.
“Sorry I’m late, but the traffic was murder” he said grabbing the towel from her hand. “Why didn’t you call? you had me worried sick.”
“I tried but the cell wasn’t making a connection.”
Mean while
Sara sat in her room contemplating her thoughts as Nick brushed his teeth and changed into a fresh pair of boxers. His cologne was still circulating through the air which was disracting her from her thoughts. She needed to tell Nick something but she couldn’t figure out how to say it, “Nick, will you please come here.”
“What is it?”he replied walking over to her getting the immediate scence that she was going to tell him something important.
“Well........I’m not pregnant” she said wiping a way a silent tear that had fallen from her eye.
“What,..... are you sure?”
“Yes Nick I am way sure!”
Nick sat there looking into Sara's water filled eyes. He hated seeing her so upset and would just about do anything for that warm smile she normally had.
“It’s ok Sara, everything will be fine” he said taking her into his arms. He held her tight as she sobbed into his shoulder.
“Sara” he said with a small smile.
“Yeah Nick” her tone hopeful.
“Lets make a baby.”
“What, are you sure?”
“Yes, I wanted that baby just as much as you did” he replied.
Back with AJ and Trisha.
The two were cuddled up underneath a blanket watching Sleepless In Seatle, as the rain continued to pour. AJ leaned down to kiss her but she slowly pulled away trying to make it look accidental.
“What did I do this time” he remarked.
“Nothing, what the hell?”
“Don’t try playing it off Trisha, you know damn well what I'm talking about. Lately everytime I go to kiss you or make any sexual passes, you just walk away or your too busy, so what’s going on?” he asked angrily.
“Nothing AJ, I’m just not in the mood.”
“Your never in the mood!!” he shouted.
“Shh your going to wake up the girls.”
“I don’t care, I want to know what’s going on with you.” he said throwing his arms up in anger.
“You are!” she said trying to get out from underneath him.
“What about me?”
“Your never here for me when I need you AJ, and when you are, all you want is sex, or I’m always listening to your problems. You never listen to me anymore” she said pushing him out of her way.
“Don’t even start with that shit!”he replied angrily.
“Well I am AJ, when are you here for me, or the girls?”
“Trish you know I’m in the middle of working on the new album, so don’t even try using that against me.”
“Really is that it? If that was the truth AJ, then why do I see Brian and Nick more then I see you, if you weren’t lying AJ then the rest of the guys wouldn’t have time for me either.”
“What is it with you, your always comparing me to Brian, do you still love him or something, that’s it isn’t it?” he yelled as the babies began to cry.
“Look what you did now, it took me an hour to get them to sleep, damn you!!!” she shouted running into the back, as AJ chased after.
“It’s ok Ally, I’m here, shhh”she chanted as she picked her up and rocked her soflty in her arms and AJ went and picked up Alissa.
“It’s ok, shh, shh” he said looking a little confused on what to do.
Trisha sighed as she watched AJs poor excuse for trying to calm the child down. She walked down stairs and put Ally in the pin, as AJ did the same with Alissa. She then walked into the kitchen.
“Shit we have no more formula!”she shouted, then running back up the stairs.
“Where are you going?”AJ called after her.
“Well AJ the girls need some formula so I need to go to the store. Do you have a problem with that?”
“No your not”he stammered
“And why the hell not?” she replied putting on her jeans.
“Because it’s storming out” he exclaimed. “I’ll go”
“Fine, go then!” she sighed and the two walked back down the steps. AJ walked over to the closet and grabbed his coat. He walked out side closing the door behind him. The rain was coming down harder then before and the wind was blowing fiercely as it stung his face, he ran to the car and got in. It was dark and he could hardly see a thing. He finally managed to get the key in the key hole and start the car. He drove slowly down the street as the rain pounded down hard on the roof of the car “There was no point in that” he thought as he looked down at the black box and put it back in his pocket. Trisha sat in the house playing with the twins, when she all of a sudden had a sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach.
All of a sudden a loud screeching noise pierced through the house echoing the terrifying sound. Trisha jumped up and knew something had t be wrong. She ran to the door and bolted straight out of the house. She continued to run down the street not knowing what she would find. The wind whipped around stinging her face as she raced down the road, until she stopped dead in her tracks. She stood their staring at the shambled automobiles infront of her, she could hardly recognize the car until she walked up closer and realized it was hers. “OMG....AJ” she thought as she searched around for the drivers side. She fell to the ground in tears as she crawled to the window. “AJ!!!”she shouted but got no answer. She crawled a little inside to find him laying there with blood running down his forehead, she slowly and carefully pulled his limp body from the torn up vehicle.
“AJ...wake up...please AJ please!” she cried, holding him tight. His eyes began to flutter open slightly as he whispered, “Trish, is that you?”
“Yes baby I’m here, everything's going to be ok” she said as the tears continued to pour from her eyes. “HELP, get help!!!” she shouted as a neighbor walked over.
“Trisha....”he whispered in pain.
“Shh AJ, don’t say anything”she replied, as AJ reached down into his pocket. He slowly pulled out the little black box.
“Trisha, w..w..will you be my girl?”he stuttered in pain.
“What are you talking about, I am your girl” she smiled as she wiped away her tears.
“No” he said then handing her the box. Trisha smiled and nodded in agreement.
“Trisha, I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you”he said taking in deep breathes.
“It doesn’t matter anymore AJ, please just hang on” she cried as tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Baby, what’s going on I can’t feel anything, I feel empty.....what’s wrong with me?”he said as a few tears had fallen
“Nothings wrong your going to be fine.”she replied sadly.
“I love you to no end, I’m sorry....” he said as his eyes began to shut.
“AJ what are you doing......nooo!!”she shouted.
“I’m sorry, tell the girls there daddy loves them and will see them soon......” he whispered.
“AJ don’t do this, you can make it!” “Please AJ noo, don’t leave me......no!!!!!!!!!”she screamed through the pain and tears. AJ whispered one last time...... “I love you and always will, I’ll always be with you....right here!”he said reaching up and putting his hand on her chest.
“AJ Noo!!! I love you, please you can’t, noo!!!! I need you!” she screamed as her voice echoed through the streets. AJs body became limp and cold as the two laid on the cold wet pavement, she couldn’t let go, as she sat there holding him in her arms. The rain and wind poured and whipped through the air, all there was was a strange and creepy silence. Trisha sat there crying harder then she had ever cried before.. “Why?”she screamed... “Why?”. She lowered her head down and rested it on AJ’s chest as she wept silently.
“I’ll be Missing You,...... always be Missing You”she cried.
