Our own fairytale

chapter 16: devils backbone

hey guys so I have changed the end of this so its a little different from the ending of 3x12 just because I felt that their dad might have a stronger reaction to Nick since Mia is dating him. So hopefully this lives up to everyones expectations of how it was going to go so let me know what think through the usually channels and please keep everything coming because I love hearing what you think and don't forget to check Mia's outfits out on my profile

chapter 16: devil's backbone

Today was one of those rare days where Nick had been able to pin Mia down enough for them to make their way through their list of bills and taxes as they sat at the dining table with them laid out, her with her laptop opened playing music and him with the notepad and check book. As it was a Sunday neither of them had to work unless Nick was called in for a case which is why he decided that they should spend the day doing this rather than watching a movie or going to the park to read like she wanted to do.Mia wore green plaid leggings, a grey laced trimmed t-shirt and black ankle boots. That morning she really wasn't in any mood to anything amazing with her hair she she had just left it natural and messy, her eye make was light with a tough of smudged eyeliner and light pink lips. Since she was on the computer for a long time she ware wearing her glasses, she had sent Nick into the kitchen to get them both some more coffee. While he was gone Mia decided to check her emails and texts since he couldn't catch her procrastinating

" I got an email from Holly, she said that she's loving her new job at the Portland Press Herald and as soon as she has her apartment all sorted she'll invite us for dinner" she said loud enough for Nick to hear her from the kitchen as she skims through the email and begins to write back a reply to her, since Holly had left their place a few weeks ago she had been trying to rebuild her life again

"I'm glad that she doing so well, although I bet knowing that James is as far away from her as possible is really helping her move on" he said coming back in the room with two cups filled with streaming coffee, he placed hers down in front of her before sitting back down on his chair next to her

"yeah probably... oh did I tell you about Monroe and Rosalee? he asked her to marry him last night and she said yes!"she said grabbing her phone so that she could show him the picture of the ring that she had helped Monroe pick out, she flicked through till she found the picture of the ring still in the box

" seriously? oh wow well good for them, they deserve to be happy and weirdly enough they do make a good couple" he said taking the phone off of her to get a better look of the ring, he accidentally flicked the screen onto the next picture which just happened to be one of her wearing the ring. Nick smiled at how good it looked on her before swiping it back before she could realise that he had seen it

" yeah I can't think anyone better to be my sister in law than Rosalee who is pretty much like my sister already, this just means that Monroe can't avoid telling our parents about her now" she said knowing that they would permanently disown both of them if they didn't tell their parents about his wedding or any big event in their lives like that

"wait they don't know about her? they've been dating for more than a year already?.... Have you told them about me?" he asked as it suddenly occurred them that they had never really discussed him meeting her parents before, every time he had brought the subject up she quickly changed it or distracted him one way or another
