Mrs. Maybe Not

Chapter 23

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

I open my eyes and look around me. Is this heaven? My eyes wander down to my stomach. Nope, not heaven. A hospital. But how was I alive?

"Brittney?" A soft voice asks.

I look over to see my little sister in the chair, alone.

"Where is everyone?" I ask, my voice coming out low and raspy.

She gives a small smile, "They're all at Ally's trial. Everyone under 18 had to stay here."

"So does that mean James is here? And the Twins?" I ask.

She nods, "Ashley stayed behind too. She had a doctors appointment anyways." Crystal laughs, "She's been waiting for you to wake up so she can tell Caleb the news."

I roll my eyes, "Of course she hasn't told him." I let out a small laugh, "How long have I been out?"

"3ish weeks." She replies, "The final trial is today. Her punishment is being given and then everyone will be able to move on."

The doctor walks in at that moment and smiles at me.

"Oh Brittney, it's very nice to see you awake and talking." She smiles at me, "If you would like I can send the family that's still here in."

I nod and she walks out.

Moments later James, Macy, Lilly, and Ashley walk in.

Ashley runs over and wraps her arms around me. In the past 3 weeks she's slightly grown a little in the tummy.

"3 months." She smiles.

"How has Caleb not noticed?" I ask.

She shakes her head, "He's been busy with looking for you, taking down his mother, and being pissed at you for nearly getting yourself killed."

"Sorry, that he's been busy with me." I whisper.

She shrugs, "At least we can all live in peace after today." 

I smile at her and hug her once more, before James pushes his way through.

"So because I know Brandon won't punch you, I will." And with that he hits me on the arm, "Don't ever do that again. Or I'll kill you."

I laugh and pull him in for a hug too. He resists for a second but then hugs back.

Next the twins give me a hug together.

"Thank you." Macy smiles at me.

"We really are thankful you did this. We are very glad you're alive though too." Lilly smiles.

I hug them once more and then stare at them all.

"Thank you all for helping get rid of her though." I smile at them.

"Oh shut up, you did most of the work." Ashley laughs.

I flip my hair, "I know."

Everyone bursts into laughter. We laugh for a good 5 minutes, before someone clears their throat and everyone goes silent.

I look over at the doorway and my heart starts going crazy.

"I need a moment with Brittney, please." Brandon says.

Everyone quickly leaves and James turns around to smirk, and then takes off too.

In less than 2 seconds Brandon is beside me, wrapping his arms around me, and pressing his lips to mine.

"Don't do anything like that again. I can't live with out you." He whispers against my lips, "The past3 weeks have been the hardest weeks of my life."

I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him in for another kiss.

Soon enough it turns into a full on make out session. But I couldn't complain.

"Lovebirds, I need to speak to Brittney." Caleb snickers.

We pull away and Brandon groans, before leaving.

"Brittney, pull anything like that again and-" He gets cut off by me.

"Yes, I get it. You will kill me yourself." I laugh.

He rolls his eyes and comes over, hugging me.

"It's all over. She's in jail for 25 years. If she makes it that long." Caleb mutters.

"This is why it would have worked out better if she had just killed me. Could have been locked away forever." I whisper.

"Don't say that." Caleb snaps, "If she is still alive in 25 years, and makes it out, I will kill her."

"Don't do that. You have Ashley and Kenzie to care for." I bite my tongue to hold back from telling about the other bundle of joy coming into the world.

Caleb rolls his eyes, "Fine, I guess that's true."

We both start to catch up a bit, with Caleb telling me about how his father and my mother had been spending more time together, since the whole wedding thing.

Caleb is starting to tell me about how their first date went, when Ashley and Brandon walk in.

"Caleb, umm can we talk?" She asks, quietly.

Caleb gets up and leaves and Brandon climbs up onto the bed, wrapping his arms around me.

"You know, now that Caleb and Ashley are on their second, it might be time for you and I to get things rolling." He whispers. "That way our kids can be friends with each other."

"Not happening anytime soon." I peck his lips.

"What if I were to do this?" He gets up off the bed, and gets down onto the floor, kneeling. "Brittney, I know you're the one I want. The one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Will you marry me?"

My hands fly up to my mouth, and I stare at the beautiful ring in front of me. Our eyes lock, and I nod.

He smiles slipping the ring on my finger, and then pulls me in for a hug, then presses his lips against mine.

"Brandon!" Ashley screams. "You were supposed to wait! I wanted to film it!"

He chuckles, "Well maybe I wanted to film it when you told Caleb."

"You told him?" I ask.

She smiles and Caleb wraps his arms around her waist.

"Yes, but back to you guys. Oh my you're wedding and everything. We have a lot to plan!" She laughs.

"Missy, you and Caleb better get married before you have more kids. You're already on your second!" I tease.

Ashley turns bright red, and Caleb rolls his eyes.

"Can we start planning, please?" Ashley asks.

So we all sit down and start planning.
