Charm: Hello everyone! I thought I might update this and leave you with a terrible note... haha. I will be ending this fic soon. And there will be NO SEQUEL! I have accopmlished a trilogy once this is finished and there will be no more to this trilogy of Brianna and Squid. But on the bright side... I'll have more time for my other fics... I've been trying to get this one done before summer break let's out and that'll be in a little over a month. This will be one of the last three (maybe) chapters of this fic, not including the epilogue.
Squid: You talk way too much.
Charm: Like Mr. Big Mouth of CGL has room to speak... *glare*
squid: heh. ^^;;

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Loss Of A Lifetime
Brianna had recently the previous month received the news that she was pregnant once again. Squid was thrilled and had already begun to prepare for the baby's arrival. He was sure it would be a girl. Brianna thought it wasn't such a great idea to plan the arrival already when they didn't even know the baby's sex yet.
"Alan... What makes you so sure this baby'll be a girl?" asked Brianna, smiling as she watched her husband redecorate Richard's old room, since he had moved out with Kaylie. Squid turned and grinned at his wife.
"Well..." he said. "I want it to be a girl!"
Brianna rolled her eyes. "Oh my God..."
* Two Weeks Later *
Richard and Kaylie had begun planning their wedding and already choosen a date for it. Richard had picked June fifth because it was exactly a month after his mom and Squid's wedding and anniversary day. The current date was April third, the day before Brianna's birthday and a month and two days until Brianna and Squid's anniversary.
"Mom!" Richard shouted, running up to his mother in the driveway.
"What Richard?" asked Brianna, turning to her son. Richard handed her a white envelope. Brianna looked puzzled.
Richard grinned, "It's the wedding invitation... We've already got everything planned out... Heh... I mean we have been engaged for months now, well maybe a little over a month but oh well!" Brianna laughed as she opened the invite from her oldest son. She quickly read over it and smiled at him.
"We'll be there Richard." Brianna assured him.
"Thanks Mom."
Brianna pinched Richard's cheek. "Of course I'd go to my oldest baby's wedding..." Brianna cooed in a fake babyish voice. Richard blushed, embarassed by his mother's remark. "I'm kidding Richard..." Brianna added. He smiled and got back into his car and drove back to his apartment. Brianna went inside, not feeling well. Her stomach ached with pain that she had never felt before, not while being pregnant.
Brianna felt her forehead and realized she had a fever. "Maybe I should go to the doctor... This is getting rather annoying," Brianna said, aloud to herself. She grabbed her keys and drove herself to the doctor to see what was wrong with her.
***
Squid sat on the reclining chair while he read the newspaper. He wondered where Brianna could have gone, since this was her day off from the law firm. He sighed as he turned the page of the newspaper. He glanced at his wristwatch, it had just turned four thirty in the afternoon. "Where could she be?" he said, quietly as he read the paper.
"DAD!" Mitchell shouted, coming into the living room and pouncing onto the couch. Squid lowered his newspaper into his lap.
"What?" asked Squid.
"Rosie and I are gonna go to the movies later today... And well we need a ride... Could you take us since I can't find Mom?" Mitchell explained.
Squid nodded, "Sure. What time?"
Mitchell pondered briefly before having his answer. "Around seven tonight... I'll call when it's over..." Squid nodded and Mitchell ran off back to his room.
"Alan?" whispered Brianna, coming into the living room after leaving the garage. She looked quite upset. Squid lowered his paper once again and saw Brianna.
He tilted his head confused. "What?" he asked.
Brianna blinked a few times as if she were holding back tears in her eyes. She motioned for Squid to come into their bedroom and he did so. Brianna shut the door and sat on their bed with Squid following the suit and sitting beside her. "A-Alan... I went to the doctor today... I wasn't feeling good at all... And well..." Brianna stuttered, tearing up.
"Bri, whatever it is... I'm sure it's gonna be ok..." Squid said, smiling.
Brianna shook her head. "No it won't... I lost it..."
Squid looked confused. "Lost what?" he asked.
"I had a miscarriage Alan... I lost the baby!" cried Brianna, covering her face with her hands and breaking down into tears. Squid stared flabbergasted by his wife's response.
"You lost the baby?" he repeated quietly. Brianna nodded, her face still buried in her hands and obviously crying. Squid put his arm around Brianna's shoulder and pulled her in for a hug. "Shh... It's ok..." Squid whispered. "We can always try again."
"No... I can't have anymore children... The doctor said I couldn't..."
"Oh..." said a crestfallen Squid.
"I'm so stupid... This is all my fault..." muttered Brianna. Squid hugged her tightly.
Squid sighed, "It isn't your fault... It just wasn't meant to be I guess, but it wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself." Brianna pulled away from the hug and wiped the tears from her face. She looked away from Squid and up at the ceiling.
"I still feel awful."
Squid made Brianna face him and he gently kissed her on the mouth. "Everything's gonna be ok..." he assured. Brianna buried her face into his chest, still feeling guilty about the miscarriage. Squid rested his head on top of hers as he held her close to him. Squid sighed. They had made it through harder times which convinced Squid they would make it through this. "I love you, Brianna." Squid whispered into her ear, gently.
"I love you too..." sighed Brianna.
* Two Months Later *
It was June fifth and the day of Richard and Kaylie's wedding. Brianna and Squid sat in the front of the church with Mitchell at Brianna's left. Raja was going to be the flower girl in the wedding along with Joey being the ringbearer. Richard stood at the altar looking like a nervous wreck. Standing off in the back and leaning against the wall, Richard had noticed was his real father, Mad Dog. Brianna, amazingly, didn't mind Mad Dog's presence at the wedding.
The music began to play as Raja in her little white dress and her long brown hair wrapped elegantly into a beautiful bun walked down the aisle along with Joey. He held a pillow which had the two wedding bands on them. Raja grew a little over excited and started throwing the flowers at the people in the seats along with throwing the flowers onto the floor.
After Raja and Joey had walked down the aisle, Kaylie's friend Shannon and Richard's friend Kevin walked down the aisle. Shannon was Kaylie's maiden of honor and Kevin was named Richard's man of honor. Shannon wore a red strapless dress with a see-through black colored scarf around her arms. In her hands were a small bouquet of white lillies and red roses. Shannon had her auburn colored hair wrapped in an elegant bun with curly strands of hair hanging down from it. Kevin wore a black tuxedo and a red carnation on the left side of the jacket. His arm was locked with Shannon's as they walked down it together.
Richard fidgeted around as he realized Kaylie would be next to walk down the aisle. He took a deep breath to calm himself. He looked at the entrance and waited for Kaylie to come through the doors with her dad. He sighed. He hadn't seen Kaylie for twenty-four hours.
The music changed to the traditional wedding march and Kaylie stood at the entrance with her arm locked with her father's arm. She wore a white veil over her face and her long white dress fit beautifully over her body. Kaylie held a huge bouquet of her favorite flowers within her hands and her hair fixed so her tiara, which was connected to the veil, fit around her bun. She walked down the aisle with her father until she met Richard at the alter.
The priest at the alter went through the vows with Richard and Kaylie until they said their 'I do's' and placed the rings on eachother's finger.
"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife... You may kiss the bride," the priest said. Richard smiled as he lifted Kaylie's veil and kissed her deeply on the mouth. Everyone cheered as they pulled away. Kaylie and Richard's friends started to pelt them with rice as they ran out of the church together.
Brianna and Squid were now alone in the church. Raja and Mitchell had gone home with Shaily and Zigzag. Brianna glanced at Squid and smiled.
"Is Alan Smith crying?" she asked, smirking.
Squid glared at her as he wiped away tears from his face. "No! I have allergies..."
"Oh my God..." Muttered Brianna. Brianna felt a sharp pain in her left arm and her stomach began to hurt terribly. Brianna's breathing became labored as the pain grew worse. Brianna winced, now feeling the pain in her chest.
"Bri?" asked Squid, seeing something was wrong.
"Alan... Call an ambulance..."
