AN: Well, here is part three in this series with Brett and Mickie, This will take place right after 'Situations' and where that story ended. With that said, enjoy.

Chapter One: Vacation Turns Into A Nightmare

Mickie laid in her bed with her future husband, and the father of her unborn child, staring at the ceiling with a million thoughts running through her head. Funny thing is, Mickie never thought that she was going to be laying in bed next to a guy who was once a shy and bashful teen in high school. They were friends at that time long ago, and now they are to be married this year. No matter how many times that she thought about that, it still seemed sort of weird to her, and they were engaged for a little while now. But that was then, this is now.

It was only a few weeks earlier that she came to find out that she was pregnant, and everyone in Brett's family congratulated her on their newest addition to the family, but she had to make his sister's and his mother promise that they would not speak a word to Brett until she told him herself. How and when was going to be the mystery to do that.

That is when she remembered something. She and Brett were heading to Santa Barbara for his birthday in a few days. On his birthday, Mickie was going to tell him what was going on in their lives, or in this situation, she was going to tell him the big news that was going to happen. She smiled, and looked at her fiancee, who was sleeping peacefully. That was another thing that she loved about Brett, no matter what was going on, he would always have a peaceful look on his face.

"Goodnight, daddy." Mickie smiled. She placed a kiss on his cheek, and went to sleep.

There was something wrong with Mickie, and Brett knew it. Well, whether there something was wrong was still up in the air, but Brett knew indefinitely that she was keeping something from him. He wanted to confront her, and see what was she keeping from him, but that in itself was a problem, kind of. It probably was nothing, and he was worrying himself for no good reason. That, or it really was big, and something was about to go down that involved the two of them, and in all honesty, ladies and gentlemen, that scared the living shit out of him.

There was no going back on it now though. The plane that the couple was on was now landing in Santa Barbara, California. He was just looking forward to enjoying his birthday with the girl that he loved.

Beautiful, that was the word that described Santa Barbara. The beaches were amazing, the weather was fine considering what time of the year it was. Brett was asleep on the bed in their hotel room, and Mickie was laying next to him, flipping through the channels. It was still early in the morning, and out of nowhere, she was hit with a wave of nausea. She thought that the feeling was going to wear off, but instead it got really worse. Mickie jumped up, ran to the bathroom, and threw up. After emptying the contents of her stomach, she sat there on the floor for a few seconds, then she went to the sink to clean her face. Right when she turned on the water, she heard a knock on the door.

"Mickie? Is everything alright in there?" Brett asked as he gently knocked on the door.

"Yeah, I just got a little sick. Can you please go and get me something for my stomach?" Mickie asked.

"Sure. How about some Sprite and some crackers to help your stomach?" Brett asked through the door.

"Fine, thank you." Mickie said sweetly. Brett just smiled lightly. He grabbed his keys, and left. Mickie left the bathroom once she heard the car that they rented start up and take off. She laid on the bed, and began to contemplate over what she was going to do. After everything that the two of them have been through in the past few years, and even before they got together and then soon after engaged to be married, she knew that this was something that she couldn't keep from him for long.

"This is nuts. I have to tell him that I am pregnant." Mickie said to herself.

That settled it, she was going to tell him the minute that he came back.

Mickie found herself laying on the bed, watching tv. After she threw up this morning, she felt a lot better, but she still knew that she had to tell Brett that she was pregnant. They both talked about having children and she wanted to have children with a man that she trusted, and that was Brett, of course. She just really hoped with all of her heart that he was going to take it well, because if he didn't, well...

Mickie snapped from her thoughts when she heard a knock at the door. Figuring that it was Brett, she just slid off of the bed, and went to open the door. She peeked out, and saw no one was there. She took another step out of the hotel room door...

POW.

A sharp blow to the back of the head rendered her body motionless. She hit the pavement with a soft thud, and a figure stood over her. With all of her might, she tried to focus on the person who did this to her, and she saw these striped bangs in her hair, but then the woman spoke.

"This woman will be nice for brother. Take her to the car." The ice cold voice demanded. She felt her body be lifted off of the ground, and dragged towards a waiting vehicle, and thrown in.

"Don't worry, my pretty, your pain is going to end soon." The female said with a sickening laugh. The trunk slammed shut, and Mickie was left in the darkness.

What is going to happen to me now? Mickie wondered as the darkness over took her.
