"So she said, maybe and I said, 'I know you and I know you want to do this and if I knew you didn't want to do it, I would of never have asked you to come in the first place' and so she laughed and agreed." Mario explained to his fellow captains. Today was a big day for him. His oldest daughter, Nicole, finally said to him that she wanted to come on the boat. He has been waiting for this day ever since she showed interest in the boat when she was younger.

"Well I'm glad she decided to come. I miss the kid." Phil said.

"Yea. She's adorable and helpful." Andy said smiling.

"You wanna take her on your boat?" Mario asked Andy.

"I think you should keep her. We love her, but I don't think she wants to be confined inside all day." Jonathan said. Mario nodded. Jonathan was right. Nicole wanted to work on deck and she firmly stated that when he talked to her on the phone.

"I'm a bit worried though. She wanted to come out here as soon as possible and she jumped at the chance as soon as I mentioned it. She didn't even think about it." Mario said.

"Maybe she's just excited about it. I mean this is Nicole we are talking about. She always expressed her love for the boat since she was what? Ten?" Keith said.

"This is true. She does love that boat." Mario chuckled.

"When is she due to arrive?" Sig asked. Mario smiled.

"In two days. Why do you wanna get your boat all ready?" Mario asked with a chuckle.

"Of course I do." Sig got up and paid his tab. "I got a lot to do before I get to see Nicole once again. Knowing her she'll want to see everyone." Sig walked out of the Elbow Room with a smile on his face. The last time he saw Nicole was when she was about ten. It has been ten long years since he saw her and was excited to see her once again.

"Hey Sig . What's with the smile?" Matt asked Sig as Sig climbed onto the boat. Sig just smiled bigger.

"Mario just told me that Nicole is coming back and she is going to work on his boat." Sig announced.

"What? Little Nicole is coming back to Dutch? I can't believe it." Edgar said in shock. Sig chuckled.

"Yes after ten long years, Nicole will finally return. Its been too long since we actually seen her." Sig said and Edgar nodded in agreement.

"I miss her so much. I mean we finally get to actually see her again. Its been so long." Edgar said.

"Nicole is coming back?" Norman asked. Edgar smiled and nodded at him. Norman smiled. "I'm so happy now. I wonder if she still is adorable?" Edgar pushed his brother lightly.

"Of course she is! I mean she's what twenty now? I bet she's hot." Edgar chuckled.

"Hello? Who is this Nicole you two are gushing over?" Matt asked.

"You don't remember her Matt?" Edgar asked him.

"No. Why should I?" Matt asked.

"Nicole is Mario's daughter." Edgar explained. Matt nodded his head. "She used to come by a lot when she was younger and I've grown fairly attached to her. She's a great kid. Remember she used to follow you around." A huge smile then came upon Matt's face.

"I remember her now. Cute kid." Matt said.

"I wonder why she got up and left though in the first place." Sig pondered.

"Who are we talking about?" Nick asked as he walked out onto the deck. Everyone looked at him smiling.

"Mario's oldest daughter." Nick's eyes widened.

"Nicole?" The guys nodded at Nick's question. "Did you tell Junior yet?"

"No we didn't. Why?" Edgar asked.

"No reason. I was just wondering. You know what I'll go tell him." Nick said as he made his way down into the galley. "Hey Jake you got a minuet?" Jake looked at Nick.

"Yea." Jake sat down and Nick sat across from him. They were silent for a few minuets.

"Nicole's coming back." Nick told him. Jake felt the color drain from his face when he heard that.

"How do you know this?" Jake asked trying to hold his tears back.

"Sig told us. He was with Mario before and Mario told Sig he finally convinced Nicole to come back." Jake looked at Nick. "Jake I know you don't like talking about her after everything that happened." Jake wiped his eyes as Nick continued. "From what Sig said, she jumped at it. She wanted to come out here as soon as possible."

"How long till she comes?" Jake asked.

"Two days Jake." Nick stood up. "I think you should talk to her. I know you two still care for each other."

"How do you know she still cares about me? She was the one who got up and left. She told me she was never coming back." Jake whispered the last part. It hurt him to think about that day. Nick smiled at Jake.

"I could see it in here eyes when I saw her leaving. I know she didn't want to leave, but for reasons we don't know she left. I'd say to give her hell, but I think you should do the right thing Jake and talk to her." Nick walked out of the galley leaving Jake alone.

"I cant believe it. She said she was never coming back again." Jake finally let the tears fall from his eyes. "She hurt me so bad and now she's coming back. This is a second chance for me and I'm not gonna let her get away again."

She had her reasons and I really couldn't blame her
But I'd grown accustomed to having her near
Just when I thought I couldn't wait any longer
She called to tell me what I wanted to hear

(She said she's coming home)
Seems like it's been forever
(She's had her time alone)
We'll finally be together
(She said she's coming home)
I guess she's tired of making it on her own
She said she's coming home

I know she told me that it wouldn't be forever
She'd be back but she couldn't say when
Now the time has finally come and it's no secret
I can't wait to start all over again

(She said she's coming home)
Seems like it's been forever
(She's had her time alone)
We'll finally be together
(She said she's coming home)
I guess she's tired of making it on her own
She said she's coming home
