[A nEw BeGginNinG]
... prologue ...
It took me a while to get over the pain and loss of Justin, but
I'm finally dealt with most of the pain. I have a beautiful 18 month boy
named Justin Randall. Some of the hardest times have been looking at him
and seeing Justin in him. The guys have been there for me. Ashlee had
her baby a girl. It happened to have them on the same day. Ashlee named
Jennifer Lynn.
Chris and Jodi got married she also expecting a baby in 2 months. Joey and Ali are still seeing each other. Lance and
Ashlee are to be married in two days. As for Jc losing Jenni hurt him
bad, but strangely enough me and him found something in each other and
fell in love. I love Jc very much, but he could and will never replace
Justin in my heart. Now it's time for a new beginning.

"Hey sweetie you okay?" Jc asked sitting next to her.
"I'm fine babe. Why you ask?" Teri asked.
"I know that this is hard. Watching him sleep and how it reminds you of Justin. I can tell when you think about him. Your eyes
are half sparkle, have gloom. Teri, I know how much you loved Justin and
how much it hurt losing him, because I felt it too with Jenni," he said
putting his hand on hers.
"I know Jc. I try so hard to not let all these memories overflow in me, but sometimes I look at Justin and he looks so
much like him. Jc you know what you are to me. A new beginning. I feel
in love with you. I never thought I'd feel love, but I did. You've been
there for me and Justin. You've been so good to me. I love you so
much.......We need to get ready for the wedding. SInce we are suppose to
pick Jenni up at Lance's and Ashlee's," Teri said.
"We also have to get this munchkin up too," Jc said. He woke up Justin. He was just like his
dad he had to have something in him beofre he became cheerful.
"Mommy, are we going to see Jenni?" Justin asked after Jc had
gotten him dressed.
"Yes, we are and we have to drop Jc off there and pick Ashlee, Amanda, and Jenni up and drive to the church," Teri said.
**JC's View**
I love her so much and I love Justin so much. He reminded me of my
best friend Justin's father Justin Timberlake. He died a little over 2
years ago, Right after Teri found out she was pregnant.
**FlashBack**
"What about Curly?" Jc asked.
"I'm going to ask Teri to marry me. Do you think I should? I love her so much," Justin said then bringing out the box.
"Curly, Iknow you love her don't have to convince me of that. I also know she loves
you too. I think you should. Good luck man," Jc said.
Just after that conversation they were home. Teri told Justin she was pregnant and
they got into a fight and right before he was shot. Justin asked her to
marry him. Teri still wears the ring, but on her right hand.
"Jc Honey, you ready?" Teri asked walking into the room. I quickly stuck
the box in my pocket and walked over towards her and kissed her softly.
"Sure am Beautiful." They walked out the door hand in hand with Justin.
... chapter 2: suRpriSe ...
"Nervous. What if Ashlee decides she doesn't want to be with me?" Lance asked.
"Lance, man you two have a beautiful little girl together. She loves you. There is no way she
doesn't want to marry you," Jc said trying to get Lance to feel better.
Jc walked into the kitchen and sat down. What if Teri doesn't want to
marry me? Justin isn't my son. Though I wish he was. I know she still
loves Justin.
Joey walked in the kitchen and saw Jc sitting there. "What's wrong Jc?" Joey asked.
Jc sat there for a minute and then began to talk, "Do you think I'm betraying Justin by being in love with Teri?" Jc asked. "Seriously Joe."
"Man, at first I was like that's the girl
Justin loved the mother of his son, but then I realized that you really
did love her Jc and Justin would understand because she loves you too.
You can see it man. Why you asking?" Joey said.
"Because I'm going to ask her to marry me, but I'm not sure what she'll say," Jc said.
"Man, go for it. You two love each other very much and I know Justin wants to
see both of you happy and if it's together he wants that." Joey said.
They talked for awhile longer then headed for the church.
**Teri's view**
"Excuse me Ash," I said walking past her. I ran into the bathroom
and threw up whatever I had.
"You okay Ter?" Ashlee asked.
"Yes I actually feel much better," I said.
"Teri when was your last cycle?" Ashlee asked. I sat there and thought. There was no way I could be
pregnant again. I sat there and thought and I couldn't believe it.
"It's been 2 months I think," I said.
"Teri, you need to go to the doctor," Ashlee said.
I paid no attention to what Ashlee was saying and finished
getting dressed. What would Jc say would he react the way Justin did? I
asked myself.
**Flashback**
"About what?" he asked.
"We'll do it in there." I said. All four of us walked back with the
others.
"We've got some news," Ashlee said. Everyone stopped what they were doing to listen.
"Ashlee and I are.........pregnant," I said. Everyone had stunned look on their faces except
Justin, he looked pissed.
"That's great baby," Lance said hugging Ashlee.
"What do you think Curly?" I asked.
"How the hell could this happened? I bet you wanted to get pregnant. Are
you sure it's even mine we haven't been together in two months," Justin
said. Everyone was shocked by his reaction.
"Did I fucking plan this? NO. Did I cheat on you? How the hell can you
even think that let alone ask me that? You are the only guy I've ever
slept with. If you don't want this baby then screw you. You can stay out
of his or her life and mine," I said crying walking out the door......
I closed my eyes fighting the tears. I remembered that day so well the
day that changed my life. I lost Justin that day. I was not going to
lose Jc. Maybe the only way not to was to lose the baby. I thought in my
head then I realized I couldn't do that. There was knock on the door. I
answered it. It was Jc and Justin.
"Hey baby doll," Jc said kissing me on the cheek.
"Hey babe. How's my little guy doing?" I said looking at
Justin.
"Fine Mommy," he said giving me a hug and a kiss.
"Lance is ready. Is Ashlee?"
"Yes she is." I said. The wedding started and was over
quickly. Jc, Justin and I headed to the reception. I didn't know what
going to happen there.

"May I have this dance?" Teri asked Jc. He didn't say a word, he
just took her in his arms and pulled her closer than he had ever done before.
Jc leaned his mouth to his ear and whispered, "I love you, my angel."
"I love you, my protector," she whispered holding on tightly. He knew then that
is was right. He kissed her on the cheek and pulled himself away.
"Teri, there's something I need to ask you something."
"What?" Teri questioned.
Jc dropped to one knee. Everyone stopped and watch. "Teri Jo Stevens. My angel,
bestfriend, and love of my life. You saved me when I thought my life was
over. That first kiss was magical. You've been there for me when I needed
you," Jc pulled the box out and held it towards her, "Will you marry me?"
Teri stood there in shock for a second. and grabbed his hand, he then put the
ring on. "Yes Jc, baby yes," Teri said with tears in her eyes then she said,
"I love you."

It's been a little over 2 years since Justin was killed. I've done
everything to move on. It's been hard. Courtney was put in jail for the
murder of Justin and Jenni. Also the attempted murder of Ashlee.
Teri sat there and watched her son sleep. Teri did this on many
ocassions, but looking at him sleeping so peaceful reminded him of his
father. She loved Justin so much, but did she tell him too late?
I finished getting dressed and went into my drawer and got the
small box out of there. I was going to ask Teri to marry me. I hope it's
not too soon.
Jc was sitting in the back of the bus when Justin came up to him. "Hey
Jc. I need to talk to you man," Justin said.
**End Flashback
**JC's View**
Teri dropped me off at Ashlee and Lance's and picked up Ashlee, Amanda,
and Jenni. (Note: Amanda is a good friend of Teri's and Ashlee's) "Hey
man how are you?" Jc asked Lance.
I sat in the room that Ashlee was changing in waiting for her to get
done so I could help her. All of the sudden I felt my stomach get a
little wussy. Ashlee exited the room. I now felt like I was going to
puke.
"We need to talk Justin," I said.
**End Flashback**
**Jc's View**
'Today is the day I'll ask her,' I said to myself. 'I love her...and
Justin. Ashlee & Lance looked so happy. I hope me and Teri will be that
happy.'
Jc looked across the room and saw Teri with Justin noticing how much he
looked like Justin and Teri. A song began to play and Jc walked over to Teri.
Jc knew this was their song. It was the song that was playing while they
first danced after Justin died....something had happened that nite and they
kissed. He began to fall in love with her ever so slowly. The song did have
some painful memories for them both. Hearing Justin's voice brought back
memories.
