Colby's POV

"Elizabeth?! There's uh... someone here to see you." I shout up the stairs. I hear Elizabeth drop something and then see her turn round the corner up the stairs.

"Oh! Nick!" She skips down the stairs and runs past me. She nearly jumps on the boy she called Nick.

"Who the hell is this?" I ask walking into the foyer. I cross my arms and raise my eyebrows skyward.

"Dad. Please. This is Nick, my boyfriend." Nick smiled at me and I can tell that he's trying to choose his words wisely. "Don't break her heart or I swear to god you will leave without your penis." I smile brightly at him and he gulps at my threat. He nods his head vigorously, "I won't sir." His voice is deeper than I thought it'd be and it sounds to me like he has a bit of an accent. "Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a fussy baby to deal with." I walk back into the living room and pick Callum up from his play pen.

Sam was still here too and Elizabeth and Nick walked into the living room.

Sam eyes Nick up and down then his gaze darts to me. I mouth the words 'boyfriend' to him and he nods his head.

"Sam. Break her heart and you will leave without your–" "–penis we got it!" Elizabeth interrupts him and I can't help but laugh at Sam and me having a similar motive. "I was actually going to say balls but eh we'll go with penis." Sam says shrugging. "No. Ill get the penis you can get the balls." We both shake hands in agreement as Nick gulps nervously. Avery and Delilah come clambering down the stairs and join us in the living room. Both of them see Nick and they get a little shy and try to hide behind each other, resulting in them going around in circles. Suddenly I heard the familiar footsteps outside the front door. I hand Callum off to Sam and walk closer to the foyer. The front door swings open and Savannah comes into view.

"Mommy!" Avery shouts pushing past Nick and running to the door. "Hi honey!" Savannah exclaims crouching down to give Avery a hug. Avery clings to her neck and Savannah straightens out her back. "Hey, babe." I say walking closer to give her a quick peck on her lips. She smiled gratefully. "Hi." She says. She puts Avery back on the ground. "Elizabeth help me get dinner started." Savannah yells from the foyer. "Hi, Sam." She greets Sam not even having to look to see if he is actually there. "Hi, Savannah."

Savannah walks to the kitchen followed by Avery, Delilah, and Elizabeth.

As you could probably tell, we dropped Elizabeth's silly nickname I gave her. We didn't drop it completely but I don't call her EB that often anymore.

Nick is in the living room with Sam and Callum. Sam had let Callum crawl on the floor for a bit. I walked back in to see Nick sitting on the floor holding Callum in a standing position. I crossed my arms and leaned against the door frame to watch. Nick lifted Callum into the arm like he was a little airplane and Callum giggled. Nick pretended to fall onto his back and he placed Callum down on his stomach. Callum was giggling wildly and he pulled at Nick's short black hair. Nick sat up and put Callum down in front of him.

"What's his name?" Nick asked looking up at me. "Callum." I replied. Nick nodded his head. "Callum. Don't pick on your sisters too much." Nick said whilst holding Callum in a standing position again. I could definitely hear a slight accent to his voice. I couldn't help but smile at this. "Alright little boy. Mama's home and we can get you fed." I walk over to Callum as Nick holds him up for me. I grab Callum from Nick's arms. Nick stands up and smiles at me. "You're doing good so far kid. Keep it up and you'll keep being a boy." I said to Nick. Nick's smile wavered a second. I grinned back and took Callum into the kitchen.

Boyfriend hmm?

"So, Nick. Where you from?" I ask as I walk back into the living room with Callum clutching his bottle in his small hands.

"Stockholm, Sweden. I was born there. I moved to America this past year." So that's why his accent doesn't sound too familiar to me. I have a couple British friends but I don't really have that many Swedish ones.

"Nice. Do you miss your family?" I asked crossing my arms. If he says no then he might not be family oriented and I can pester him about that.

"Oh yeah definitely! Actually now that you remind me I was going to call my mom!" Nick said. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and began to dial her number.

"Hej mamma! Jag är i Kalifornien!" (Hello mom! I'm in California!) He paused. I could hear her delighted tone on the other end.

"Ja. Jag kom hit på ett säkert sätt. Och ja du kommer att få dig träffa Elizabeth gång." (Yes. I got here safely. And yes you will get you meet Elizabeth sometime.) Well I know he said something about Elizabeth.

"Okej mamma. Jag måste gå nu. Jag ringer dig senare. Adjö." (Okay mom. I have to go now. I'll call you later. Bye.) Nick hung up the phone.

"My mom. She's a funny one at that."

Uh huh.

Elizabeth's POV

After dinner I grabbed my car keys and Nick and I went out for some dinner at Taco Bell. What? I love Taco Bell!

"So, I think my dad likes you." I say swinging my legs back and forth. We were in the fast food place with our tacos on the table in front of us.

Nick was the first friend I made in college. He is in the same courses as me. We are both in Princeton Uni marching band. I have been taking courses on becoming a music director. Not enough people see the greatness that can come from music.

"You think so?" He asked. His Swedish accent made me feel all tingly inside.

"Damn. I never thought I'd be dating a guy with such a beautiful accent." Nick laughed huskily. "Only for you, babe." He said, leaning across the table and pecking my cheek.

Damn.
