I didn't believe in love, until I met you.

Lets fix up the place

Nicky awoke to see Noah crying in the corner. "Sissy, I'm scared." Noah ran to Nicky and sat in her lap. "What if daddy comes again?"

Nicky didn't know what to say. She didnt know if there father would ever find them, and she was afraid of what he would do to her and Noah if he ever did.

"Listen sweetie, I will never let him touch you again. I promise." Nicky tried to assure him. And she knew she would die before he ever laid another hand on her little brother. "Alright so we need to get you into school." Nicky tried her best at a smile.

"I dont want school!" Noah whined and Nicky tickled her little brother until he was in laughing fits.

"Come on bud you need a shower." Noah stood up and ran towards the bath. Noah had always loved bath time but after Tommy died, Tom made sure his bath time was five miniutes top.

"Auntie?" Nicky turned around to see little T.J standing by the door of the bathroom. Nicky was busy giving Noah a bath.

"Yea Teej?" Her little nephew smiled at her.

"Can I take bath?" He said in his cute little voice. Nicky waved him over and undressed him. Courtney walked in a few miniutes later rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"What's the plans for today?" Courtney asked as she began washing her face.

"Uhm I was thinking that we could register to be in this state, get new plates, buy the boys beds and a dresser, were gonna need to find a cheap sofa and a kitchen table, some plates, a fridge. We need a lot Court." Nicky didnt realize how much they were really going to need to buy.

The entire apartment was empty. Thats probably why it was only seven-fifty. "Right and we need our beds a shower curtain, soap, cleaners, and we will need a vacume this place needs it. How much money do we have all together?" Courtney asked.

"Uhm Tommy left me Three and my mom gave me five and what ever you have.." Courtney's mouth dropped.

"Your mom gave you money!" Nicky nodded her head. "Oh, well I have only 2500."

"Any is good enough. So we almost have ten grand so lets take out rent and do a shopping spree." The girls squealed excitedly.

The girls dressed the boys and went out on their little adventure, when they got home they had bought everything the needed and everything to big to fit in the car was being brought to them that night in a truck. After everything was bought they still had Courtney's money left. They had registered the boys in school and themselves and everything went smoothly and they would start in one week.

Nicky decided she should call her mother. "Nick I dont think it's a good idea."

"No, I do. She let me go without telling Tom I owe it to her to let her know Noah is okay." Nicky argued. She grabbed Noah's hand and brought him down to the pay phone.

"What are we doing sissy?" Noah asked holding Nicky's hand tightly.

"Were gonna call someone." Noah raised his eye brows at his sister but walked with her anyways.

Noah's bruises were healing good and he wasnt complaining about being in pain any more. "Stay right here." Nicky warned Noah. Noah stayed close as Nicky punched in the numbers. If her father answered she was just going to hang up but if her mother answered she would allow Noah to talk to her.

"Hello?" Her mother voice spoke on the other side of the phone.

"Mom?" She heard her mother gasp and her father ask who was on the phone.

"It's Ammie babe I'm gonna take this upstairs I think her and Eddie are fighting." Nicky heard her father say what ever. She knew there was no chance he could over hear, they only had one phone.

"Nicole? Where's Noah?" Her mother sound panicked.

"Mom what's happening at home? Is he mad?" Nicky asked worried.

"He is happier. Now, Noah, where's my baby?" Nicky handed the phone to her brother. As he laughed on the phone with their mom, she was wondering how they were gonna hide from Tom.
