This is my very first fan fic.I watched the movie No reservations and fell in love with it. This a short story about what happens after the movie. I don't own the movie. I made up where Nick, Kate and Zoe now live and the story is mostly about Nick and Kate and how they both get closer. SPOILERS! I made up the plot and all the short stories/background I made up. (Not the part where she was born, but her mother and family are made up).enjoy.
Master chef Kate Armstrong never though this would happen to her. Her life has changed so much since the day of her sisters accident. She never though a child would come into her life, in her care, let alone having another boyfriend. She was a workaholic even on her day off she would be practicing new recipes. Now she brings Zoe to the park or around New York with Nick, of course.
It was hard for Kate to let go of her apartment but Nick assured her he was never going to leaving her. And besides they do own a restaurant together and live in the apartment above it.
Kate woke up with a delicious smell coming from down the hall. She got out of bed and put on her robe as it was quite chilly. Seeing as it was late November, New York brings a frosty morning.
Kate walked down the hall hearing giggles and laughter from the kitchen. When she got there she saw her two most favourite people in the world. There running round gathering plates and glasses for the table was Zoe. Still in her pink pajamas and bunny slippers. She didn't see Kate at the door as she danced gracefully to the stove to check her pancakes. With her was Nick with his back against Kate pretending to be a composer to his imaginary orchestra.
Zoe turned around to see Kate, she smiled and was about to say good morning when Kate put a figure to her lips silencing her. Zoe giggled as she made her way to the breakfast table while Kate snuck up behind Nick, hugging him from behind and kissing his cheek.
"Good morning,il mio amore" Nick said while turning around, moving his arms around her waist,
"What does that mean" Zoe asked from the table
"il mio amore', means my love" Nick replied winking at Kate as she blushed
"Good morning to you too, what are you making?" Kate asked looking over nicks shoulder to see
"Pancakes and bacon and egg and toast and orange juice" Zoe shouted excitedly
"Can I help" Kate asked
"Sure you can squeeze the orange for the juice" Nick replied with a chuckle
Kate raised an eyebrow asking if he was serious. This made Nick laugh louder, mocking her from when they first had breakfast together, after his laughter subsided he said "I'm just kidding you can make the bacon and egg, ok" this made Kate happy.
As she began preparing Zoe kept a close eye on how she did everything so fast and do a lot of things all at once,I mean she was beating eggs while adding bacon to the pan. Zoe was amazed by her aunts skills
Kat saw this and smiled at Zoe and asked if she wanted to help but Zoe replied by shaking her head. Kate put it aside, maybe she could teach her how to teach Zoe to cook something more then pancakes soon walked back to the breakfast table to squeez the orange juice, her back towards Kate and Nick.
As Kate finished cooking she turned around with Nick smiling at her. He went to where she was standing and kissed her passionately. They didn't notice Zoe come in.
"OMG this is so embarrassing" she said walking over to the table smiling from ear to ear.
Kate and Nick pulled away laughing at the poor girl. They both smiled at each other while giving a nod. Zoe knew this nod and ran as fast as she could laughing her head off. Nick and Kate ran after her. When they finally got to her they gave her kisses on both cheeks making her laugh even harder.
"Alright let's go eat" Kate stood up and began to walk to the kitchen
"Wait leave some food for us" Zoe laughed running after her.
"So what do you want to do today?, we can't do much since it's freezing" Nick asked the two girls, mostly directing the question to Zoe.
"Can we go ice skating" Zoe pleaded
"No we are not going out in that cold" Kate disagreed
"Ok how about we go to the indoor swimming center" Zoe tried again,using her best puppy eyes.
"Ok that's better then the cold" Kate agreed giving her a smile
"Yes, I'm going to change" Zoe said running out of the kitchen
Kate and Nick laughed at her excitement. They began cleaning up the table and kitchen. When they were finished Kate went to change to her swimsuit while Nick packed their bag.
Kate came out in a simple swimsuit that tied around her neck, it was light blue and had cut outs at her side showing her curved body.
Nick stood staring at the beauty in front of him, not saying anything. Kate laughed at her boyfriend seeing his reaction.
"Take a picture it last longer" Kate said sarcastically but was surprise when she saw Nick take his phone out. She played along and starting posing in front of him. After a while she began to put on clothes over her swimsuit to protect her from the cold. Nick quickly changed into his swimming trunks and they both walked out.
When they entered the sitting room, Zoe was waiting there bag beside her watching T.V,she turned around and said
"Finally took you two long enough, come on let's go". With that they went out and began to walk to the swimming center. They walked together with Zoe,in front of them, Nick had his arm around Kate's waist.
When they arrived at the swimming pool they paid and went to get a cubicle. They got out of their clothes and shoes. Zoe was the first one done and went straight out. As she ran Kate shouted at her
"Don't run near the pool Zoe" in reply she heard a faint "yeah"
Nick gathered there clothes and put it in a locker, locking it up and keeping the key bracelet around his wrist.
When Nick and Kate saw Zoe she was coming down a water slide. The center was big, it had five waterslide with a lazy river going around the whole thing. There was a wave pool and two other pools. One had lanes and the other was just for anything. There was two kids area. One had a pirate ship that kids can play around and another was a baby pool. Finally in the center of everything there was a giant jacuzzi.
Nick and Kate decide to go into the jacuzzi. When they got there no one was there so they had it all to themselves. They started talking about what they could add to their menus and all this about recipes and what ingredients they need to buy. They ended the conversation when they heard Zoe calling them from the top of one of the slides.
"You go to her, I'll stay here" Kate said quickly not wanting to go down a waterslide.
"Are you scared?" Nick asked mockingly. Kate didn't find this funny but was serious, she shook her head while looking down into the water, embarrassed.
"Can I ask why?"
"Well when I was younger, about two or three, I fell off the side of something I can't remember what it was but it was tall. I fell and hit my head hard on the floor, luckily I didn't die but I was in coma for about three months. I don't want that to happen again." Kate finished playing with the water.
Nick sat down beside her again and said to her calmly,
"You don't have to be afraid, Zoe and I will be there."
With that Nick helped her up and made there way up the flight of many stairs. When they reached the top Zoe was waiting there excitement written all over her face. Kate looked over one of the railings and was terrified, she was so scared that she hung on to Nick for her dear life. Nick reassured her but hugging her tighter.
"Zoe go down one of the slides and will follow,I promise" Nick said to Zoe. Zoe didn't need to be told twice and went down one that was called the 'black hole'. Nick took Kate to one that had rafts for two people. As they went down Kate didn't stop shouting, she screamed louder when they were going down fast. This caused Nick to laugh out loud.
At the bottom of the slide was Zoe laughing her head off at what she just saw. Nick helped Kate out who was now,laughing her head off as well. The three decided to go to the wave pool. With every wave that came their way they jumped over it or dived in under it. They spent most of the time on the lazy river and Zoe showed some tricks she could do,
"Kate watch this" Zoe shouted as she did a handstand and into a somersault. Kate instantly got worried at her trick.
"Zoe you have to be careful,"
"I'm fine, see I'm not hurt, stop worrying so much" Zoe said spinning around. Kate smiled at Zoe realising she wasn't that young anymore.
They stayed at the pool for a few more hours then left. They went into the showers to get the chlorine out of their hair and got changed.
Later that day...
They were so tired that they just ordered pizza from a local pizza place and got it delivered to the restaurant. An hour after they ate Zoe was sound asleep. Nick took her into her room before going into their own. When he got there he saw that Kate was getting ready.
As they laid down, they didn't say anything but enjoyed each other's company,
"Today was fun," Kate said breaking the silence
"Yeah, I learned a lot about you today," Nick replied
"Really,like what?" Kate asked
"Well I found out you are scared of highs, you care so much about Zoe and that you have an amazing body" Nick chuckled at the end
"Just my body," Kate asked pretending to be sad
"No you are beautiful inside and out," Nick said kissing her
"I love you," Kate said breaking away from the kiss
"I love you more," Nick replied
"No way,"
"Yes I love you way more,"
"I love you more,"
"I love you so much more,"
"Prove it," Kate challenged
"Marry me," Nick said seriously
This got Kate's attention. She sat up looking at Nick in the eyes searching if he was joking or not, but she found nothing but love and worry.
"Are you serious, no joke, no just kidding?"
"None at all, well?"
"OMG, Nick YES,YES,YES,YES" Kate replied kissing him again but more passionately
"I love you, I love you so much" Kate said excitedly
Nick went to get something from one of his drawers and went back to the bed and gave it to Kate.
"I didn't know when to give it to you, I was waiting for the perfect moment, but I read somewhere that 'you shouldn't wait for the perfect moment, you take the moment and make it perfect' it's kinda cheesy,I know,"
Kate opened the small box and saw the most beautiful ring
"Nick it's beautiful" Nick took the ring out of the box and put it on her. After he kissed the ring then kissed her. Kate pulled away from the kiss smiling the biggest smile and said
"That was very cheesy" and they both laughed, they both laid down again holding each other and fell asleep with smiles on their faces.
Today was a good day.
