"Are you nervous?"
"Of course I am!"
"So are you guys gonna work things through or do you think you guys will end things?"
"Honestly at this point I have no clue, I really don't know how this conversation will go Brie" she said worried,
"Nikki you'll be fine, you're fearless, remember?" Brie said shooting a wink at her sister,
Nikki smiled softly, shaking he head at her twin sister,
"Whatever happens though, you know you have me, JJ, Mom and all of the family here to support you, no matter what" she assured,
"I know that, thanks" Nikki smiled,
"It's okay, but just do what is best for yourself and your relationship, that's all you can do"
"I know I know, now wish me luck"
"Good luck sis".
Nikki took out her keys and finally entered the home in which she had avoided going to for weeks. Although they had been talking everyday on the phone it had been a while since they saw each other in person, so she was nervous. She knew he would be in the kitchen having a glass of red wine as it was 4 o clock, and this was what they normally did at this time everyday they were together at the house.
"Hey" she said as she entered the kitchen,
"Hi Nicole" he said with a small smile on his face,
There was an awkward silence, it was hard to find the words to get the conversation started.
"Come home" he said diving straight to the point,
"John..."
"Please just come home, I am in love with you and I need you here in our home with me"
"You are barely in our so called home, I am in this huge house alone 5 out of 7 nights"
"Nicole you know my work is hectic at the moment, but soon it will clear up"
"When? You will keep getting new movie roles, you will always be welcome in the WWE and your career is your everything right now" she said starting to raise her voice,
"You are my everything, always. My work is just important to me" he said calmly,
"And I 100% get that, it's amazing how far you have come. And I don't ever want you to sacrifice anything in your career for me"
"It's not a sacrifice, it's making effort to spend more time with my future wife"
"And what about kids? I know I said I am fine with just being a wife but I'm not. I can't give up being a mom"
"I never would make you give that up Nicole, I just don't want to have kids when I can't give them my everything"
"I know and I respect that, but I love all of my nieces and nephews so much. And I know, that I want to be a mom more than anything in this world"
"If it means keeping you in my life I would have children with you"
"What?" she said with a smile on your face,
"I can't lose you, and if that means having a child with you then I will."
"So you want children now?" she asked,
"Yes, I am willing to have children"
"Willing?" she asked confused,
"Yes, you were willing to sacrifice children just for our love, if you were willing to offer that, then I can make a sacrifice and give you children"
"So it's a sacrifice?"
"Well kind of, wasn't you sacrificing before?"
"I guess I was" she said softly accepting his point,
"I can't have kids right now obviously, as my career is still important but I will slow down and eventually start a family with you" he promised,
She was silent for a bit, clearly thinking.
"No"
"What?" John asked confused,
"You can't, we can't"
"Can't what?"
"We can't stay together and have kids, when it's not something we both want"
"I do want..."
"No you don't John, you haven't wanted children for years and now suddenly you do?"
"Yes, I am allowed to change my mind"
"Yes, but it doesn't mean you should, just to please me"
"But this is what you wanted" John said confused,
"I know, but I want children with someone who wants to have children, I don't want it to be a sacrifice or because you don't want to lose me. I want the father of my child to have wanted them, to love them with everything they have"
"I am sure when the baby comes I would love them"
"Of course you would, I don't doubt that. But a child deserves more than that. And we both deserve to live the lives we want, with people who actually want the same things as us" she explained,
"But I love you, I can't love anyone else like I do you" he said with tears welling,
"John you will. You didn't think you could move on from your ex wife but you did. I will always love you but I don't believe that we were meant to be. We aren't right for each other John"
"Yes we are"
"No we aren't, you're my Richard"
"Huh?"
"From friends, you know how Monica and Richard were so madly in love with each other. But he didn't want any more children but she wanted to have kids for herself. He was willing to have kids with her if it made her happy and was what she really wanted, but it wasn't what he wanted. She ended things because even though they were in love, she couldn't have kids with someone who didn't want to. But then she fell even more in love with Chandler and they worked, they had kids and were best friends and were happy. I need to find my Chandler in this story"
"What about me in all of this? Where does it leave me?"
"You will find someone too"
"Richard years later was still in love with Monica, he didn't move on so why would I?"
"He probably did later, and you will too. As I said there was a time where you thought you couldn't love again after your wife"
"But now I know what love really is, and I know I have only ever really loved you"
"You will fall in love with someone who is as passionate, dedicated and driven as you. That has such high expectations and ambitions but knocks down every challenge in the way. Someone whose passion is their career. Who doesn't want children. Who is just more compatible with you. Because even though we loved each other we just weren't right for each other, but that means there is someone out there who is"
"But I don't want anybody else"
"And neither do I, but as much as I love you and Monica loved Richard, I need to find my Chandler. And I don't know who Richard ended up with and I don't know who you will, but I know we will be fine, I promise" she said with tears falling down her eyes,
"So this is it?" he said softly,
"I guess it is"
"I love you Nicole" he said kissing her for the last time,
"I love you too. Goodbye John" she said walking out of the kitchen they shared leaving her keys on the table,
"Wait", he called at her,
"I just want you to know that I really do hope you find him, and I hope he is one amazing guy because no body deserves someone as special as you, unless they are the best of the best or unless...unless they're a Chandler" he smiled,
"And I hope you find your Chandler too" she joked which made him giggle slightly,
"Goodbye" he said before she shut the door leaving the home they once shared,
Nikki turned to face the house, she put her arm against the door, and with tears rolling down her face and some how let out a soft smile.
"Bye" she cried.
She removed her hand and walked away from the house towards her car, never turning back as she did so.
