"We'll be fine. You wanna know why? Because were Nikki and Vanity."
She nodded, staring up at him with eyes full of hope and love. "...And we get through everything. We'll be okay."

*Nikki's POV*
"Van, I can take her up to her room. Just let me, please?" I watched as she picked up Arianna and carried her inside.
"Just get the bags." Vanity mumbled to me as I sighed. I realized halfway through the drive home I was being an asshole to everyone just because I wanted to hurry up and get here. I carried the bags in and put them down by the stairs.
"Well hello pretty girl. Did you miss me?" Anarchy came up wagging her tail before running up the stairs, completely ignoring me along the way. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water before sitting down at the table.
"Thought I heard the gate open. You guys are back a day early." I turned my head to the side when Clementine came out of her art studio with paint soaked brushes.
"Yeah, Allen called me about a new singer this morning-" "...And now you guys are so excited. Tommy told me." She interrupted me as she started rinsing off her brushes in the sink.
"Do you have to clean them there? I don't want paint staining the tile. Can't you clean them in a cup?" I questioned her as she shook her head.
"Vanity said I could."
I rolled my eyes and got up from the chair, "Just clean up your mess. I don't want to see it." I walked over to the answering machine and went through them.
'Nikki, it's Allen. I tried calling your cell but It probably went through when you didn't have any signal driving back. Anyways, come to my office around noon tomorrow. We also need to discuss your new contract with Elektra and how much you guys will be bringing home. Talk to you tomorrow.'
Message deleted.
'Sixxter! Dude! Did you hear?! A new fuckin singer?! Hit me up when you're back in town and let's go grab some drinks! Maybe go to the titty bar!'
I chuckled and deleted the message. I'll have to call Tommy in a little bit.
'I hope this is still the right number. Don't have any new ones for Sixx's house. Anyways. Uh, hey Vanity it's Saul, well Slash-'
Fuck no. No. I'm not fucking doing this
"...I heard you were back in town. You're still very popular here. New York huh? You shoulda reached out some how. I was staying there for a bit too. Anyways, uh here's my number. You can keep it if you want. I was thinking if you were up for it we could catch up. Maybe grab a bite to eat or something to drink or whatever you want. Your choice. Just um give me a call. I'll talk to you later maybe? Bye Vanity."
