Forever Us Chapter 12
CRYSTAL After I got back from shopping with Kenz, I hid the bags in mine and Brooks's closet. I couldn't leave them out for Jonah to see the stuff I got for the gender reveal. Kenz wasn't even allowed to see what all I bought. While the two of us were out and about, I asked how things were going between her and Brent since they moved in together and she told me that it was not going as well as she hoped it would. She explained that he has been going out with his friends and not coming home until 1 in the morning and it's causing them to fight. I had to remind her that he is still young and wants to have his freedom. She asked me how things were with living with Brooks and I honestly felt bad for my answer. I told her living with him has been amazing. He helps me with everything I do on a day-to-day basis to make things less stressful for me. She told me she was happy for me and wished Brent would help her out more around the house but she knew he wouldn't. After Jonah and Brooks fin

BROOKS Getting to spend time with Jonah was good for all 3 of us. I know Crystal missed him and I am happy they spent the day together last week. Jonah promised to try and spend more time with her before we took him home. Crystal and I are getting last-minute things done before the gender reveal at the end of the week. It has been so hard to keep the fact we are having a boy a secret. I keep slipping and saying he and then having to go back and say he or she to cover my slip-up. My mom is driving me crazy asking about buying girl stuff or boy stuff and I have to keep reminding her that she has to wait like everyone else and that if she wants to keep buying stuff to get gender neutral for now. Viola has been holding back from asking but I can see she is dying to know. We are supposed to go to their house tonight for dinner. Crystal finished up the sign she was making and we got ready to go to Marvin and Viola's. When we got there Marvin was outback tending to the steaks and Viola was

CRYSTAL I woke up in pain and it was hard to open my eyes. I yelled out for Brooks and he answered asking what was wrong. I told him I couldn't see and he told me to hold on. I heard the water running and then felt a warm cloth against my face. He wiped my eyes and explained my eyes were a little crusty due to crying last night. "Why was I crying and why do I hurt so bad?" "You don't remember?" "Remember what, Brooks?" When he stopped wiping my face I was able to open my eyes and saw I was in the hospital. I freaked out and slung the cover off me and checked my stomach. Brooks told me to relax and said the baby was fine. "What do you remember about last night, Crystal?" "I remember going to Dad's and eating dinner. I was feeling sick and we left to go home. It was raining when we left and… oh my god, Brooks! Is the other driver ok?" "He is fine baby. He had a few scratches but nothing serious. I am fine too. I have a concussion and that's it. You have a broken arm a

BROOKS Crystal has been in the hospital for 4 days now and I decided that I wasn't going to wait any longer to make her my wife. The accident made me realize that I could have lost 2 of the things that mean the world to me and I wasn't going to take the chance that something else could go wrong and I lose her. I called Seth and asked him if his dad would be willing to come down to the hospital and do the honor of marrying us since his dad was a pastor. He told me he would ask him and he'd give his dad my number. After we hung up, I sat back in my chair and watched my soon-to-be wife sleep. She looked beautiful laying there with no makeup on and her hair in a messy bun. Even though she hasn't been able to bathe since the accident, I ensured she didn't smell. I have been giving her a good wipe-down with a washcloth, a pan the nurse gave me for water, and some soap. Her dad and Viola have been taking turns coming up here to watch over her and give me a couple of hours to sleep. The doc

CRYSTAL After the Obgyn doctor examined me, he said that Marvin was looking good and I was clear to leave but needed to try and avoid stressful situations. Brooks got all my things together and took them down to the car while I waited on the nurse to bring my discharge papers. 20 minutes later the nurse came in and went over everything with me and explained that I will need to attend physical therapy sessions starting 2 weeks from today. I thanked the nurse and waited for Brooks to bring the car around. The orderly wheeled me down to the front door and then wheeled me to the car. Brooks helped me into the car and we headed home. When we pulled into the driveway Jonah came out of the house and got my bag from the trunk. Brooks helped me into the house and helped me get into the bed. Jonah came into the bedroom and asked if I was hungry and I told him I was fine. “Baby, you need to eat. You and I haven’t had anything today.” “I don’t want Jonah to have to cook for me.” “He isn’

BROOKS Crystal has been home for 4 days now and she is getting restless not being able to get up and help around the house. I called her doctor and asked if she was able to sit outside for a little while and he said she should be ok doing it just to make sure she didn't try to walk. After I made Crystal's breakfast, I cleaned up our dishes and went into the room and picked her up off the bed. "Brooks, what are you doing?" "I'm taking you outside to sit in the sun for a little while." "I don't think I am supposed to be outside, Brooks." "I called the doctor and asked. You can sit outside but you can't get up and try to walk." "This sucks!" "I'm sorry, baby. I wish I could heal your leg for you." I sat her on the back porch and decided to go ahead and clean the yard up. Crystal thinks I am just giving her time outside but little does she know that my reason for cleaning the yard is because Pastor Lay will be coming in 2 days to marry us. I have already talked to mom, Vi

CRYSTAL I woke up to someone knocking at the door. I looked over to see it was 8:45. I nudged Brooks to wake him up and told him to go see who was at the door. When he came back to the bedroom, He put a shirt on. "Who was at the door, Brooks?" "It's my mom, Viola, and Kinz." "Why in the world are all three of them here?" "They wanted to come see you, beautiful." Brooks left the room and Ashley, Viola, and Kinz came into the room. All three of them had bags in their hands. "Um, Ashley, what are all those bags for?" "Well darling, we brought some clothes over for you to try on. We figured since you were stuck in this room, you might like to have a dress-up day with us." "I can't stand up to get dressed." "We know that silly girl. We are going to show you the stuff we brought and you get to pick which items you like and once we have gone through all of them, Kinzlee can help you try them on and narrow down which you like the best." "Ok. I guess we could do that."
Forever Us Chapter 19
BROOKS Today is the day that I marry the woman of my dreams and the love of my life. I am scared sh*tless right now and even though I already know she wants to marry me, the thought of her freaking out and saying she doesn't when she is supposed to say I do, has me scared. I'm glad she is still on bed rest and has been napping a lot because it's given me time to get everything done and having Jonah and Kinz sneaking around and helping set stuff up. Marvin and Viola will be coming by around 3:00 to start getting the finger foods on the trays and my mom and Ray will be here around 3:30 when they get off work. Jonah and his girlfriend are riding with Kinz and Pastor Lay will be here at 4:30. I decided not to wear a tuxedo today. Instead, I am going to wear black dress pants and a white dress shirt. I told everyone just to wear whatever they were comfortable wearing. Knowing my mom she will be wearing a dress and will be fully dolled up with makeup. Ray will probably be wearing shorts and
