♥I Will Move On… Somehow♥
She stood with him making the salad for dinner. They smiled and joked; excited about the child they were about to have. They had decided on a name, Mackenzie Anastasia.
She turned away from him to give the spaghetti sauce a stir and when she turned back he was on the floor, breathless.
☼FLASH☼
She was now standing at his casket, saying her last goodbyes, her bulging stomach making her even more emotional, knowing the life she was going to have to live without him. She cried as she brushed his face one last time.
☼FLASH☼
She was standing at his grave, the funeral was over and he was lowered into the ground. Holding a single red rose, she dropped it on his casket, a single tear escaping her eye and joining the rose.
☼FLASH☼
She was standing at his grave, holding their daughter Mackenzie. Softly speaking to her husband and placing a red rose on his tombstone along with a white one from his daughter.
☼FLASH☼
She watched as her daughter said her first word, “Mama” and took her first steps. Growing more and more each day to look like him.
Mackenzie had the same brown eyes and the same curly hair as her departed husband. She even had his smile. Even looking at Mackenzie hurt her. she missed him so much, but she knew he was never coming back.
She awoke from the dream in a cold sweat. She swore she had felt him there with her, holding her as he used to, but when she looked, she was alone. None but Mackenzie in her toddler bed in the other bedroom.
She entered the kitchen taking a drink of water. A picture of him and her together on the wall caught her eye. She smiled as she went to bed, knowing that he loved her and remembering the good times she had with him.
Slowly she drifted off to sleep, waking in the morning to Mackenzie jumping on her bed. “Mommy, Mommy!” Mackenzie cried. “Yes Kenzi,” She said.
“Mommy, can we go to the park today?” Mackenzie asked with excitement lining her two-year old face.
She thought about it, “Yeah Kenzi. Let Mommy get ready first, okay?”
Mackenzie was so excited, she loved going to the park as much as Nicole liked to bring her.
At the park, Nicole sat down on the bench watching her daughter play. Every time she saw her daughter, it reminded her of him. How he always had a smile on his face, how he was always there for her. Everything.
She had finally begun to get over loosing him, but each day as Mackenzie looked more and more like him, the sadness began creeping back.
Lately, making everything worse, she was dreaming again. The dreams of her last moments with him were haunting her again, just as they did when he first died.
She was sitting on the bench when she swore she saw him. This guy looked exactly like her husband. He had brown curls and chocolate brown eyes, but something was different about him. She knew he wasn’t the same guy, but he looked like he could have been her husband’s twin.
He walked over to the bench she was sitting on, “Can I sit here?” he asked.
She smiled, “Yeah.” And looked over to the two children he had with him. A girl and a boy. The girl had beautiful brown curls, like her daughter’s. The boy had dark chocolate brown wavy hair. They each looked like they were about three or four; Nicole couldn’t decipher their ages.
She looked over at the man sitting next to her; he couldn’t have been more than twenty-one, “Yours?” she asked indicating the two children. “No. My brother’s, I’m the cool uncle who gets to take them to the park.” He smiled at her. She returned a smile back.
“That one’s mine.” She said indicating Mackenzie.
“She’s beautiful. So are you. I bet your husband is one lucky man.” He smiled.
“Yeah, he was.” She let a tear escape her eye.
“Was?” he asked. “Do you mind me asking?”
She let out a small smile, “Yeah, he died before Mackenzie was born. That was almost three years ago.” She paused thinking; “Actually it was three years ago next Thursday.”
He shifted closer to her. Placing a hand on her back, “I’m sorry, he would be proud though, Mackenzie seems like a great little girl.” She smiled at him, “Thanks.”
Mackenzie walked over to them, “Hi mommy!” She giggled, “Hey Kenzi, having fun?” Nicole asked.
“Yeah, Mommy Whose this?” she asked indicating the curly haired man that was sitting next to her mother.
“Kenzi this is…” she stopped because she didn’t know who he was, she swore if he said his name was Brian she was going to freak.
“Nick. I’m Nick.” He supplied sticking his hand out for Mackenzie to shake.
Mackenzie smiled, “OK, I go play now! Bye mommy!” she screamed before she ran off to play on the slide.
Nicole smiled at Nick, “So your name’s Nick.”
He smiled, “Yeah, and would you mind me asking your name?” he was sweet.
“I’m Nicole.” She said smiling. He reminded her so much of her husband. Sha absentmindedly played with the wedding and engagement rings on her left finger. The rings she never took off, the rings she promised she never would take off.
Mackenzie came over to Nicole, “Mommy. I’m hungry.” She reported.
“Ok Kenzi. We can go get something to eat, what do you want?” Nicole asked her two-year-old daughter.
“Chicken Nuggets!” Mackenzie shouted happily.
“Ok, Chicken Nuggets it is then.” Nicole grabbed her purse and began to walk away holding Mackenzie’s hand.
“Oh, wait one second Kenzi.” Nicole said turning around to Nick who was still sitting on the bench.
“Nick, You want to join us?” She asked him.
He looked over at his niece and nephew, “Sammi, Ryan,” he used his pointer finger to call them over.
“Yeah Uncle Nick.” They said in unison.
“How about lunch?” he asked.
They looked at each other, “OK.”
Nick looked back at Nicole, “Sure, I’d love to.” As he stood up and took Sammi and Ryan by the hand leading them out of the park with Nicole and Mackenzie.
Everyone piled into Nicole’s Audi as she bounded off to McDonalds for Chicken Nuggets and whatever everyone else wanted.
Nicole knew she invited Nick to lunch for the wrong reasons, she wanted her husband back, even if it was only for a day, but when she got to talking to him, she learned that as much as he looked like her husband, Nick wasn’t.
He had a totally different personality. While Brian was outgoing and smiley all the time, Nick was on the more shy side and a lot quieter. She liked Nick though. She had never thought she could love someone as much as she loved her husband, but with Nick she figured time would tell if he could mend her broken heart.
As she dropped him off at the park so he could take Sammi and Ryan back to Kevin’s, he asked her on a date.
“Nicole,” He said leaning into her car.
“Yeah,” she answered.
“Uh, Do you want to go on a date with me tonight?” he asked shyly.
Nicole looked back at Mackenzie in her car seat, “I don’t have a babysitter.”
Nick thought for a moment.
“I’ll get Kevin to babysit.” He said offering his oldest brother as a babysitter.
Nicole thought for a moment, “Ok.” She grabbed a napkin from her glove box and wrote down her number, “Call me and we can make plans.” She smiled handing it to him, then driving off to her apartment with Mackenzie falling asleep in the back.
At 6:00 Nicole was wearing a simple black halter dress. Her long brown hair, slightly curled hung down her back. Her dark brown eyes lined perfectly in smoky eyeliner with a hint of gold eye shadow. She looked better than she had since Brian’s funeral.
She picked up Mackenzie and gathered the last of the things she needed before heading out to meet Nick at Kevin’s house for their date.
She dropped off Mackenzie, “Be good ok?” Mackenzie nodded, “Ok mommy.”
She smiled as Nicole walked out the door with Nick to his silver BMW.
He was a perfect gentleman; he opened the car door for her and everything. It was her first date since as far back as she could remember. Brian was her high school sweetheart. They had gotten together in freshman year and stuck it through all the way through college. One night in her sophomore year, he proposed to her and they were married in her junior year. Living together in her senior year, she became pregnant with Mackenzie and then de died, out of the blue.
Now she was twenty-four and going out on a date with a man three years younger than she was. It didn’t feel odd to her, she didn’t even think about his age.
On her date she realized that Nick couldn’t me more unlike Brian if he tried to be. The only real similarities were his chocolate eyes and the mess of brown curls on his head.
Nicole didn’t mind though. She didn’t need Nick to be Brian, she needed someone other than Brian if she was ever going to get over loosing him.
That night, Nicole found that Nick could be the one to help her get over loosing her husband, and he could also be the perfect father for Mackenzie.
At the end of the night, Nicole had asked Nick out again.
After a few months of dating, Nick asked Nicole to marry him. He would have added another diamond to her finger, but he chose instead to give her a journey diamond pendant, symbolizing the growth of her love for Brian and how she could grow to love him just as much.
The next June, Nick and Nicole married with Mackenzie as the flower girl. She did well for a four-year-old.
Nick was an amazing father to Mackenzie, just as Nicole had figured he would be. Three years later, they had a son, Brian Tyler, after Nicole’s first husband.
As much as Nicole loved Brian, her love for Nick grew. She felt blessed to have two men in her life that could both occupy so much of her heart.
