          Victor had been informed that Tucker was staying with Jack. He drove to the Abbott house not caring about the speed limit. He hated fighting with Nikki, and now Nevaeh had seen what they tried so hard for her not to. He got out of the car and slammed the door. He stormed up to the front door and rang the bell. He thought about pounding his dust against the wood but decided that he would wait and surprise everyone. Jack opened the door and his face fell once he saw who it was. "Oh Victor to what do I owe this pleasant surprise?""I'm here for Tucker." Victor said waking inside. "Tucker isn't here." Jack lied. "Save it I know he's here. I need to see him now." "Jack, who is it?" Genevieve walked in from the kitchen. "Oh Victor" She gasped. "Hello Genevieve welcome back." "How have you been?" She asked trying to make the situation less awkward. "Oh I'm just fine, you're still married to McCall?" "That's right she is." Tucker appeared from behind Genevieve. "Well hell must have frozen over if you two are still together." "And you and Nikki?" Genevieve asked pretending as if she didn't know. "We're very happy. Now I want to know why the hell you two came back here?" "Why is that any of your business?" Tucker asked. "Last time the two of you were in town my wife almost died." "Victor please that's all in the past. We've moved on we're better than that." Genevieve pleaded. "I'll believe that when Jack Abbott stops stalking my wife and daughter." "Now Jack why would you do that?" "Save it Tucker I know you're working with him in some way." Victor growled. "Victor I think k you should leave before things get worse." Jack suggested and opened the door. Victor walked toward him, "I told you once and I'll tell you again Abbott, you stay the hell away from my family." "Get out of my house." Jack waited until Victor was on the porch before he slammed the door in his face. "How did he know we were here?" Genevieve asked worried. "He's paranoid. He probably has people track us." Tucker replied. "You know Genevieve for as much as your against this you seem pretty intrigued." Jack chuckled. "I just don't want any harm to come to the little girl. She may be a brat but she can't help who her parents are. Maybe she'll turn out to be a lovely young woman one day." "That's wishful thinking when your father is the Devil snd you mother is a stripper." Tucker mused. "Hey, Nikki has put that life behind her." Jack snapped. "I still don't get what you see in her." Tucker told him. "She's perfect, and he treats her like she's nothing." Jack replied as he turned to face them with a crazed look in his eyes. "Tonight, we begin with phase one."
Nikki sat on the bed in the matter bedroom shortly after Victor had left. She was still rocking Nevaeh back and forth. Her tears had subsided for now. "I'm so sorry you had to see that Princess." "Why did Daddy get so mad?" Nevaeh asked looking up at her mother. Nikki wiped away a few tears from her daughters cheeks. "Well honey sometimes your Daddy and I get upset with each other." "You made him mad?" "Yeah I guess I did but I didn't mean to." "What was he mad about?" Nikki sighed, "Grown up stuff." "Oh so I can't know?" "Not now." "But Daddy always tells me grown up stuff." "Yes well your Daddy does a lot of things he's jut supposed to." "Mommy" "Hmmm?" "Is Daddy a bad person?" "Now where did you get an idea like that?" "Nick always talks to Tori about how Daddy never does what he's supposed to. And that's why lots of people don't like him." Why did she have to be so smart for her age? "Listen, your Daddy is a good man. Whey your brother and sister talk about shouldn't bother you. You don't need to act like a grown up anymore." "But being a grown up is fun." "Oh my dear it is not." "When will Daddy come back?" "I don't know honey but it's getting late we should get you ready for bed." "But Daddy has to tuck me in." "Maybe by the time you're all ready he will be home." "Can l sleep in here?" Nikki laughed as she carried Nevaeh to her own room. "No I don't think your Daddy gets much sleep she you in between us." "But why?" "You move too much." Nikki out Nevaeh on the bed and pulled out a pair of pink pajamas. "Then you be in the middle." "Not tonight honey." Nikki pulled off her daughters dress and helped into her PJ's. "Hair." Nevaeh reminded her pointing to her pigtails. "Yes ma'am." Nikki pulled out the pigtails and brushed her blonde hair. "Daddy still isn't here." Nevaeh sighed as she crawled into bed. "He might be out late honey. I'll have him come in when he gets home." Nikki pulled the blanket up to her daughters chin. "Do you promise?" "I never break my promises to you do I?" "No." Nikki bent and gave her a kiss on the forehead."I love you Princess." "I love you more Mommy."
          Nikki sat in the living on the couch with a cup of tea in her hand. It was nearly midnight and Victor still was not back. Usually after their fights he would go missing but this one was different. Nevaeh had seen it and begged him not to go and he still did. She had pushed him to leave but that was only because if he stayed things could have gotten worse. The clock struck 12 and Nikki saw headlights pulling into the driveway. She took a deep breath, "This is it." She whispered. They would either continue to fight or relative the problem like adults. She stood up and she heard the key turn in the door. Nikki turned around to face the sentence just as Victor walked in. His eyes were cold and glassy. His expression was emotionless. "Victor?" She whispered. "What are you still doing up?" He asked closing the door. "I couldn't sleep. Not with the way we left things." "It's late you should get up to bed." "Victor what did you do?" "I just provided them with a little warning to stay away." He said taking off his coat. Nikki sighed, "That wasn't necessary." "Like hell it was." He growled walking into the living room. "I can protect myself you know." "Oh can you? Let's see in the past few years I've been the one to rescue you." "Victor please stop. I know you're scared but fighting with me isn't going to help." She said walking toward him. "You think I do t know that? I do what is best to protect his family. Let me do it and nothing will happen to you. Okay?" Nikki knew that he shouldn't worry but she realized that arguing with him would just make things worse. "Okay you're right I'm sorry." She whispered. "Come here" he took her in his arms. "I missed you tonight." She said. "I missed you too. The office was pretty lonely without you in it." "I haven't been back there yet." "I hope you won't have to." "So you were serious about retiring?"
"Yes my baby I was." Nikki's face lit up, "I'm so proud of you." "Me? You're the one we should be proud of. You fought so hard to come hack to me." "Did you honestly think I wouldn't come back with you as the light at the end of my tunnel?" She laughed. "Let me tell you something" he sat down on the chair hear the fireplace and pulling her on his lap "I came to visit you every day. I would tell you everything that was going on. With me, shrug the kids and then the grandkids. I told you all about Nevaeh and how you were her first word. And how she took her first steps in your hospital room. I knew you would come back, it was like you never left us." Nikki felt the lump form in her throat, "Why do you do this to me?" She laughed as the tears fell from her eyes. "Do what?" "You always make me cry?" "Those are happy tears my baby" he told her brushing them away as they fell. "I love you." "And I love you too." He whispered kissing her softly.
          In the wee hours of the morning the Newman ranch was quiet. Victor and Nikki had retreated to to their bedroom and were fast asleep in each other's arms. Nevaeh slept peacefully in her room down the hall. On the side of the house Jack stood there with Tucker and Genevieve. "We cane all this way now what?" Genevieve hissed. "Now we go in." Jack explained pointing to the ladder the window washer had left. "How did you know that would be here?" "Because Gen I've planned this very carefully." Jack replied as he moved the ladder in place to the window in Nevaeh's  bedroom. "I'm going up, I'll cut the screen and pick the lock then I'll be in." He explained ask he slipped the ski mask on. "Jack are you sure about this?" Genevieve asked. "Tucker will you shut her up?" Jack snarled as he climbed up the ladder. "Gen if you wanna back out you can." "No, I'm going to be the one to make sure he doesn't harm the poor child." They watched as Jack made it to the window and successfully cut the screen. "Who taught pretty boy to do all this?" Tucker asked. "My bet is Phyllis." Genevieve replied as they watched Jack pick the lock. "Now go to the front door" he ordered "I'll meet you there." Tucker nodded and pulled Genevieve with him. Jack quietly entered the bedroom and looked around. He found Nevaeh sleeping on the bed. This is it Jack there's no backing down now. He thought to himself as he approached the bed. He lifted the blanket and placed his hand over the little girls moth as he picked her up. Her little blue eyes, Nikki's blue eyes, flew open. "Don't make a sound." He growled as he rushes out of the room with her in his arms. He went down the stairs and quickly unlocked the front door. Tucker was waiting for him outside with Genevieve in the car. "You did it?" Tucker asked shocked "Hell yes I did it." Jack replied as he rushed for the car. He shoved Nevaeh in the back of it with Genevieve. Tucker got in the drivers seat and they drove away. Little Nevaeh had fully woken up now and realized she wasn't in her bed. "Mommy?" She whispered. "Jack" Genevieve snapped "she's awake." "Well shut her up." Genevieve looked at Nevaeh and suddenly she began to feel very guilty. "It's going to be okay honey, I'm so sorry." She took the little girl in her arms. "Who are you?" Nevaeh asked "I want my Mommy!" "You'll see her soon." Genevieve said trying to comfort her. "That's only if your Daddy meets my demands." Jack said pulling off his mask and grinning at a horrified Nevaeh.
