A/N: With all the rumors about certain characters leaving and watching today's ep this came to me. Don't know if I'll continue? Guess it depends if Nicole and Daniel do make it down the aisle?
I don't own anything Days of Our Lives. This strictly for entertainment purposes.
Thank you and Happy reading, hellzz.
One moment Nicole Walker is becoming Mrs. Daniel Jonas, the next she's kneeling over her new husband trying to staunch the bleeding coming from his chest.
"It's bad." Daniel could feel his life slipping away as he gripped his bride's hands.
"We've beaten bad haven't we? So this is nothing. Don't talk? Save your energy." He could see her falling apart inside, but staying strong in front of him.
"Thank you for never giving up on me. For loving me. Becoming Mrs. Jonas. I love you so much Nicole." She looked up and watched his eyes closed.
"DANIEL, please don't leave me! Come on, open your eyes baby?" She leaned down to press her lips to his.
"You're our hero you know that. Mine, Melanie's, Parker's and this little life we created that by some miracle I'm carrying. I wanted to tell you before our big day, but I was thinking this was the perfect wedding present. So you listen to me. Fight like you've never fought before. Fight for us, for our family. I love you so much too Daniel."
He fought all the way up until the emergency room doctors could do no more. The five GSW's at point blank range did irreparable damage one doctor said, but Nicole wasn't listening to anyone. She had lost Daniel and if not for being pregnant she would've broke down and lost her mind.
With Daniel no longer there to be the buffer between his family and friends Nicole felt out of sync. So she let Maggie make the arrangements for her son's funeral. She had every faith in her to do right by him and that was that.
Rafe Hernandez, probably her only friend, said she was distancing herself and in a way she was. Had to for the sake of her baby, but she got through the services and the burial with both feet on the ground.
She was the last to leave. Saying a prayer for Daniel to be at peace. Nicole wouldn't say goodbye because she couldn't, not today. She walked away not looking back and found herself on the Di Mera grounds heading for the private gardens where a couple smaller graves laid. She sat and talked to her and EJ's children that never got their chance to come into the world. Explained to them about their new little brother or sister on the way and asked them to watch over said little brother or sister. She hadn't noticed the rain clouds until it was too late, but she welcomed the rain. It let her cry in its wake for everyone she'd lost and questioning everything she had to gain.
When she felt strong arms come around her and lift her into their arms she calmed. In the dark she couldn't see the strangers face, but there was something oddly familiar about his stance and she felt safe.
"I'm here now Nikki. I've got you."
