After six months... May 1990...

"Oh, Asher! You can't wait to see Daddy, right? I think he misses you as much as you miss him," are Evie's words to her son who is in her arms.

Little Asher is 6 months old and is growing very fast. With his mother, he is at the window, waiting to see his father from moment to moment.

Nikki had to go on tour some time ago. It was hard for Evie, especially now that they have Asher. But her son gave her the strength to get over it.

She was right when she said that Asher was the carbon copy of his father. Now that he's grown up, his facial features are starting to change. He looks so much like his father. He has the same beautiful color of his eyes. He has brown and puffy hair, just like his mother. Asher will be a heartbreaker. Evie knows that for sure. Like his father.

The baby coos, and moves a teething toy to his mouth. Not long ago, Evie noticed that her son was teething and now he has a tooth in his lower gum.

Evie sees a car entering their property and a huge smile appears on her face.

"Your Daddy has come!" She tells her son.

She and Asher leaves the room and go down the stairs carefully. She arrives in the foyer, where the door opens and she sees her husband entering. He looks for a few moments a little amazed, then he smiles at them and approaches, taking them in his arms.

"I missed you so much," he says.

"We missed you too," Evie tells him.

Nikki looks at his wife, brushing his thumb from her cheek, and quickly kisses her on the lips as he turns his attention to his son, who bites his teething toy.

"You've grown so much in such a short time," Nikki says, and takes Asher in his arms.

"He already has a tooth," Evie says, looking proudly at Asher, who is looking curiously at his father.

"Really?" Nikki asks and looks more closely at the baby.

Little Asher smiles at his father, revealing that he really has a small tooth in his lower gum.

"You will soon become a little shark," Nikki giggles and kisses the little one on the forehead.

Evie smiles at how much bonding develops between her husband and her son. She can't believe that a few years ago they went through such difficult events. Nikki's addiction and the fact that she almost lost him. And now they are together again and have a family. Their child. Their happiness.

"Da-da!" The baby says with a laugh.

"Oh gosh!" Evie exclaims and looks at Nikki who looks a little surprised. "It's the first time I've heard him say that!"

"Isn't he wonderful?" Nikki smiles and kisses his son on the forehead again.

After 6 months...

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Asher! Happy birthday to you!"

Little Asher watches his family singing Happy Birthday to him. In front of him is a cake and a candle on it. Next to him are his parents who sing to him cheerfully. With them are Tommy and Heather and their daughter, Laura. Evie's father with his stepmother and her brother Anthony are also there. And even Deana, Nikki's mother, is there. She and Nikki have started to get on better terms and she often comes to visit her grandson.

It's Asher's first birthday. So special. He looks curiously at the candle flame and looks up at everyone there singing.

Everyone finishes singing and Evie tells her son:

"It's time to blow out the candle, sweetie."

The boy tries but fails. So both his parents help him, bending down and blowing at the same time and the flame goes out.

"Hooray!" Laura exclaims. "Now I want cake!"

Everyone there laughs.

"You'll get it right away," Evie replies gently.

Everyone sits at the table and eat a piece of cake. Asher is most excited about the cake so that some pieces of it reach his head. His mother laughs and takes them away.

It's night outside now and Evie's relatives are gone. So is Nikki's mother. Tommy and Heather are so tired that Nikki and Evie invite them to sleep in their house tonight.

After that, Nikki and Evie go to their son's room. Little Asher fell asleep in his father's arms. Nikki carefully places Asher in his crib, stroking his head.

His wife is behind him and puts a hand on his shoulder and looks lovingly at her son who is sleeping peacefully.

"Let's go," she whispers.

Nikki takes her hand, smiling and they both walk to the door of Asher's bedroom. But Nikki suddenly stops at the door frame, confusing Evie.

"What happened?" His wife asks him.

"I was thinking of something," he says, smiling slyly.

He looks at his son once more and turns his gaze to his wife, who is waiting to be clarified.

"Asher is a year old now," he smiles. "I was thinking... what it would be like to have another baby?"

"What the?" Evie winces, not waiting for Nikki to tell her that.

"Yes, babe. What do you say?" Nikki looks at her pleadingly and takes her other hand in his. "And maybe we'll have a daughter this time. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"I didn't expect you to tell me this so early," Evie smiles, her cheeks are red.

"So you need time to think?" Nikki arches an eyebrow.

"No way!" Evie smiles broadly. "It would be great if Asher will have a sibling."

He smiles as much as she does. He approaches her and whispers in her ear, making her shiver down her spine:

"Then let's try for a baby now."

She puts a hand to her mouth, giggling and pulls his hand and together leave the room. They walk down the hall, laughing and holding hands, looking like a couple of teenagers having their first love.

They arrive at the door of their room, where Nikki stops and stares at his wife so that after catching her lips in a wishful kiss. Soon, the door opens and the couple enters, closing the door behind them.
