A/N: I know it's been two weeks but it was a holiday and then I was sick so I am very sorry. Also, I know this is short but I might have a few more chapters before the weekend is over!
Victor rushed inside Nikki’s hospital room. “Nikki!” he called. She was lying completely still with her eyes closed. “Nikki,” he tried again she was as still as a rock. “Sweetheart can you hear me?” Victor pleaded with her. Still Nikki was motionless. The only sounds in the room were the beeping of the medical machines and Nikki’s slow breathing. Victor heard the door open behind him; he turned to see the doctor with Nicholas and Victoria. “She’s not responding.” Victor told them. “What happened exactly Mr. Newman?” the doctor asked. “We were out in the hall and Nikki woke up and she began to call my name. It was quiet but it was defiantly her.” Victor explained. “I see. I can assure you Mr. Newman that what just happened is a good sign. This means that she should officially wake up earlier than expected.” “Do you know when that will be yet?” Victor asked. “In a few days maybe but it’s still hard to tell.” “Thank you doctor” Nick said. The doctor then left the family alone in the room to watch over Nikki.
Then next morning the light shined through the window of Nikki’s hospital room. Victor sat asleep in the chair next to the bed. It had been sixteen hours since Nikki had woken up for a brief second. There was a knock on the door and it opened slightly, “Victoria came in with Nicholas. “Look at them.” Victoria whispered. “Yeah it’s a miracle that Mom’s alive.” Victor opened his eyes to see Nikki still sleeping and then he looked over to see his children by the door. “Dad how are you this morning?” Victoria asked. “Well, I’m alright considering what has happened in the last few hours.” Victor replied. “Has there been any change in Mom’s condition?” Nick asked. “No son nothing at all.” “Dad you should go home for a couple of hours and get some rest and food. We’ll look after Mom.” Victoria said. “No thank you sweetheart I’ll stay right here until your mother wakes up.” “Dad please you’ve been here for hours you need rest.” Victoria begged him. “I said no now please go children.” Victor growled. “Come on Vic.” Nick said taking his sister out of the room. When they were in the hallway Victoria seemed to let her emotions get the best of her. She began to cry, “Why is this happening to us?” she cried “Hey Vic listen to me, it will all be alright.” Nick hugged her. “Oh Nick I don’t think I’ve ever been so scared of anything in my entire life.” “I know but we have to be strong and have faith. I have to go see the inspectors about the house since Dad won’t leave. Do you want to come with me?“ he asked her “I guess I could go at least I’d be doing something to help Mom and Dad.” Victoria told him. “Alright then let’s go.”
That same morning Tucker led Genevieve into the coffee house. They were in need of breakfast and some coffee to start their day. Genevieve found them a table while Tucker went to order. She sat there looking around; she wondered where Jack had taken Sharon and what he was doing to help her. Just then Abby walked through the doors with Summer and Noah. Genevieve watched as the three of them looked from Tucker to her. “Is something the matter?” Genevieve asked them. “We’re just waiting until Tucker gets out of line before we get our coffee.” Abby explained. “oh, I see. Have you heard anything on Nikki this morning?” “Since when do you care about her?” Abby asked “I’m just trying to be friendly that’s all.” Genevieve told her. “Well don’t.” Abby snapped. Tucker then walked over and placed two coffees on the table, “Hi kids here for some coffee too?” he asked Abby and the others. “Yes we are. Noah, Summer let’s go get that coffee and then we’ll head to see Nikki.” Abby said walking towards the counter. “What’s the deal with her?” Tucker asked Genevieve. “She’s Abby Tucker do I really need to explain it to you?” “No Gen you really don’t.” “So what’s on the agenda for today?” she asked sipping her coffee. “I have things to do at McCall so you can do whatever.” “Oh turning into Victor now are we?” she laughed “No don’t worry I’m not going to obsess over my company the way he does and ruin the one good thing I have.” “I guess I can live with that.” “You better.” “I think I’ll finish moving my things. That should keep me busy for a few hours and then maybe I’ll come visit you at the office.” “I’ll see you there.” Tucker said standing up. He gave her a kiss goodbye and headed out of the coffee house.
Jill had just arrived back in Genoa City and she was in need of some coffee that morning. As she walked into the coffee house she saw Tucker and . . . Genevieve! She almost turned around but then she saw Tucker stand up, he looked like he was leaving. She watched as he bent to kiss Genevieve goodbye and then he left. Jill made her way over to the table that Genevieve was sitting at, “Well look who it is” Jill said sitting down. Genevieve looked at her, “When did you get back?” “A few hours ago I missed this place so I figured I would” “Save it Jill what do you want from me?” “What makes you think that I would want anything from you?” “Well obviously you want something or you wouldn’t be talking to me.” “You and Tucker?” “Oh I see you saw him leave and you’re jealous.” Genevieve laughed “No I’m not jealous I just want to know if the two of you are an item?” “Yes. We are now if you’ll excuse me I have to go finish moving my things into Tucker’s place. Have a nice day Jill.” Genevieve said walking away. As Jill watched her walk away she felt something inside of her. It was a flame, a flame that was getting bigger and bigger a flame of pure jealously.
Back at the hospital Victor still sat beside Nikki. He had been staring at her for hours and he never got tired of seeing her beautiful body. Even if she was all torn up on the outside he knew what she really looked like, her true beauty on the inside. He wished she would wake up so he could tell her how much she meant to him. He loved her more than any other woman he’d ever been with. She was the mother of his first daughter and then first son. She was the one who knew both his strengths and weaknesses. She had stood by him through so much and he had still hurt her more times than he could count. What Victor didn’t understand was why after everything he did she still came back to him. There in that very moment he realized that no matter what he would always be hers and she would always be his. His Nikki, his sweetheart, his one and only true love.
