Chapter 16

Can I c..come in?" Her shaky voice asked.

"Yeah" was all he managed to stutter out. Could it be true? Had Brittni really come back to him? He must be dreaming. His eyes looked her over at a rapid pace. What a sight she was. A sight he longed day in and day out to be lucky enough to see again for the last three months.

'Oh my God' He thought when his eyes hit her stomach. That was his life in there. Something that he had helped make.

"Um, Joey showed me this." She said and held up the tape recorder.

"W.what is that?"

"Its a taped session of a conversation Joe had with Amanda two days ago. He showed it to me, and..and at first I didn't want to believe it. I was so angry, and so upset with you, and me, and everything, that I don't know why, I just didn't want to believe that it could be just some scheme that she thought up that had caused me so much pain. I wish none of this had ever happened. I can't tell you what I felt the day I walked in, and saw you two there. I really don't even think that there is a word to describe it. I'm so sorry for the things I said baby, if I could take it all back, I would before we even know what hit us. God, I can't believe that I didn't believe you! After almost 6 and a half years of knowing you, I thought I knew you inside out, and I was actually stupid enough to believe that you would ever do something like that to me. I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say."

She wiped her face, put her bags down beside her, and looked at Justin, who was just staring at her.

"I love you." He called out. "I love you, and although I was so angry with myself, and you, for leaving me, you know what? It's ok. You came back to me! That's all I wanted, for you to come back and forgive me, for being so stupid not to notice that it wasn't you in the first place! God, I can't believe that I couldn't tell."

"It's ok Ju, it's ok, i'm here now, I love you so much!"

She walked up to him and pulled him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around her waist and breathed in deep the smell of her hair, her skin, everything that he never thought he would be able to smell again. He pulled her tighter, but something got in his way. It was her belly.

"Oh my God Britt, your stomach."

"I know, it's amazing. I'm sorry that you had to find out the way you did. I had it all planned out in my head what I was going to say to you and everything. I wish that you could have found out another way, but I was too angry to realize what I was saying."

"It's ok babygirl, it doesn't matter, I found out that I was going to be a father, and you came back, that's all that matters."

He pulled her into another hug and then pulled back a little to kiss her. As he placed his lips upon hers, he felt the life return to his body, all the love, the lust, the happiness, everything that he had thought he had lost, it all came flooding back to him.

"Hey Justin, who was that, you've been out there for a while-oh my..Brittni?!" Lance called out walking into the area.

They pulled back and looked at him.

"She came back to me Lance! I never thought this day would come, but she actually did!" Justin called out to him.

"Britt, it's about time." Lance hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Never do that to him again." He whispered into her ear.

"Never." She whispered.

"Well, Justin, i'll just go get my stuff, and i'll be out of here ok?" He said knowing perfectly well that if Brittni was back, Justin was back, the old Justin.

"Alright Lance, thanks."

Lance smiled.

"It's no problem, you take care of yourself man."

"I will, don't you worry about that." He said with a smile spread happily on his face. Lance walked upstairs and got his stuff, soon, he left.

Justin and Brittni had walked into the living room, and had taken a seat on the couch.

"God it feels good to be back here, back in your arms, I couldn't even begin to tell you what i've been through."

"Neither could I. My life had ended when you walked out that door babygirl." He unclasped the chain from around his neck, and pulled off her engagement ring.

"I kept this in hopes that you'd return. Will you still marry me Britt?"

"Of course baby" She smiled and kissed him quickly.

Justin's hand glided the ring back onto her finger and he pulled her closer to him. The radio was still playing from when Justin and Lance had been sitting around and now, both Brittni and Justin were listening to it.

"Now everyone, here's a song for all you lovers out there who have made a mistake in your life. Enjoy it." The radio D.J. said.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Justin asked looking over her shoulder to see her face.

"I'd love to."

She got up, and turned to face him, he took her hand and walked into the center of the room. He put his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms tight around his neck, smelling the sent of him that she had missed so much. The song had stared, and they were both listening to the lyrics as they held each other close.

***

Even the lover makes a mistake sometimes.
Like any other,
fall out and lose his mind.
And I'm sorry.
For the things that I did.
For your teardrops over words I said.
Can you forgive me,
and open your heart once again.
oh yeah

Chorus
It's true.
I mean it.
From the bottom of my heart.
Yeah it's true with out you
I would fall apart.

What ever happened.
I know that I was wrong.
Oh yes.
Can you believe me, maybe your faith is gone.
Oh yes it is
but I love you,
and I will always will,
so I wonder if you want me still.
Can you forgive me
and open your heart once again.

Chorus
It's true
yes it's true I mean it yeah
From the bottom of my heart,
yeah it's true
it's true With out you,
I would fall apart

I'd do anything to make it up to you.
So please understand.
And open your heart once again.

Chorus

(It's True-Backstreet Boys)

As the song ended both Justin and Brittni smiled. They were both back in each others arms. They had made it.
