Introduction: First, let me say that this is my first attempt at writing any Fan fiction. This is a more reactive piece to the new that Claire Coffee being let out of her contract.

I wanted to write a story if her character was brought back down the road. I love nik and nadine together and I'm going to miss her character on the show. Let me know what you guys think.

Chapter 1

October 1, 2009

Nadine sat in her seat on the plane nervously thinking about where she was heading. It feels like it has been an eternity since she has been where she is heading. As the plane descends on the runway she closed her eyes hoping she was making the right decision of coming back to this place she used to refer as her home.

Nikolas sat at his desk trying to concentrate on the paperwork in front of him. It was of no use; it was hard concentrating on anything these days besides the mess he made out of his life. He was lonely and miserable. He hadn't been happy for a long time. The last relationship he was in was with Rebecca which didn't last long. At first when he saw her he just saw Emily in every possible way which made her irrestible. As he got to know her more he then realized she was nothing like Emily besides the resemblance in the looks. He then realized Emily was never coming back and he needs to let her go if he ever had a chance of being happy again. He remembered the last time he was happy which was just before Rebecca came to town. Nikolas sometimes remembered the woman that made him happy at that time. She was beautiful, smart, funny; interesting and he just let her go like nothing. With Nadine it was just so easy to be with her. He could be himself and she still looked at him like he was the best thing in the world. He would sometimes dream about her; her beautiful face, her deep blue eyes he could stare into forever, how soft her lips were, and the touch of her skin. He just loved being with her; laughing and talking. He knew it was his fault she was out of his life; one of the biggest regrets of his life. Just then he snapped back into reality realizing Nadine wasn't there. She wasn't even in town so he could apologize to her for the way he treated her. Now what did he have in his life: Spencer, Lulu, Lucky, Liz were all that was important to him. Nikolas looked down at his watch realizing the time. He needed to go upstairs and get ready for tonight.

Nadine was standing waiting for her luggage in baggage claim. As she waited she remembered the last time she left Port Charles. It's been about 8 months but she remembered the day with perfect clarity. She remembered the hot tears streaming down her face as she packed all of her things. The way Nikolas and she had ended their relationship. How she saw him kissing that woman; a name she couldn't even say because she hated her so much. Nadine was not a hateful person but she hated her for coming between Nikolas and her. She snapped out of her thoughts as she saw her luggage come around the belt. She grabbed it and went out to grab a cab. As she got into the cab, she pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number she knew all too well.

Liz sat home on the couch next to her boyfriend, Lucky. Lucky and her reconciled five months ago and she recently moved back into the Spencer home with the kids. Just then she heard her cell phone ring and she grabbed it to answer it.

"Hey Nadine what's up?" Liz said

"Oh, Really, Do you have any plans tonight? Why don't you come on over? Yes, I'm sure.

"Okay, I'll see you soon." She hung up her cell phone.

(While Nadine has been gone Liz and she have talked all the time. Liz is the only real contact she kept in touch with from Port Charles especially since Leyla's death.)

"What are you up to?" Lucky asked

"Just inviting a friend over for dinner especially since it's her first night back in town." Liz replied

"But we already have a guest coming over. Don't you think she'll mine?"

"Relax, Honey they're going to run into each other eventually. We're just making it a little sooner than later. We both know how miserable Nikolas has been and I know Nadine hasn't been the happiest since she left. So, what's a little dinner between friends? Maybe it's a starting point of them patching things up."

"I just hope you know what you're doing. We could be asking for trouble here." Lucky replied

Liz ran into the kitchen to check on dinner her guests should be arriving any minute.

The doorbell rang. Lucky got up to answer the door. He smiled warmly when he saw Nadine. He gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Lucky asked

"Okay, thanks" Nadine replied

"Come in, Please"

"Thanks, I hope you don't mine I brought my luggage. I came in a cab and haven't checked into the hotel yet."

"No, of course not," Lucky laughed

Lucky took her luggage and sat it to the side of the living room.

Lucky noticed how good she looked. Obviously Washington has been good to her. He noticed how she was dressed. A little more dressed up than he was used to seeing her before she left Port Charles. He always liked Nadine. She was nice and sweet. At first he thought she was a little juvenile about her feeling towards his brother; but when you get to know her you realized that's just the way she is. She wears her heart on her sleeve.

"Please come in and sit. Can I take your jacket and get you something to drink?"

Nadine hands her jacket to Lucky

"Yes, please whatever you have, thanks"

Lucky hangs up Nadine's jacket in the closet and heads towards the kitchen to get Nadine a drink.

Nadine sat on the couch admiring the home of how sweet and charming it was. It reminded her of her home she grew up in Ohio.

Just then the doorbell rang. Nadine expected Lucky to come from the kitchen but he didn't. She called out to him but no answer. The doorbell rang again. She decided to just answer it. She swung the door open shocked of the person she saw in front of her. Eyes and handsome features she hadn't seen in a long time. Her mouth opened a bit by the surprise and before she could say a word all she heard him say was

"Nadine"
