Nick looked around his old city. It was the place he was born and raised.
He smiled when he realized all of the stares he was getting because of his
giant cross. He shook off the stares and started walking towards his
mother's home. Nick was a young man with black hair and dark sunglasses. He
may have been carrying a giant cross, but he didn't play the part of a
priest or churchman. Nick was just... Nick.
Milly ran up to the young man when she saw him walking up to the house. "Oh, Nicholas Wolfwood! Where have you been?" Milly asked.
Nick's sunglasses fell off revealing his blue eyes that were the same color as Milly's. "Mom, do you have to use my full name all of the time?" he asked.
"Your full name is Nicholas Wolfwood, Jr. young man. Now, come inside, your aunts and uncles were just buy and they dropped off a few things for you," Milly said.
Nick groaned. "I'm eighteen, why do they all treat me like a kid?" he asked. He walked inside after his mother. On the counter was some pudding. "All right! Pudding!"
Meryl laughed. "That's your son, Milly. He may look like Wolfwood, but he acts just like you," she said. She was sitting in the kitchen.
"Meryl!" Nick said. He kissed her on the cheek. "So how're things? Where's Rem?" he asked. He looked down the hallway and found no one.
Rem walked through the front door. "Insurance is hard work," she said. Her blong hair was all messy, but her blue-green eyes always had a little sparkle in them. "Mom, why didn't you tell me it would be hard work?"
"I tried to. I think you should've talked to Milly, too, before going out for this job. It is hard work," Meryl said.
Nick laughed. "If it's how you guys met our fathers, I'm up for insurance," he said. He looked at Rem and smiled.
"Yeah, you can meet the craziest people through your job. Alcoholics, assassins, priests, ace gunmen, bounty hunters," Meryl said. She sighed. "It was a nightmare eighteen years ago when we were chasing Vash the Stampede."
"Vash the Stampede? The Humanoid Typhoon? You met him, Mom?" Rem asked.
Milly looked at Meryl. "Well of course we met him. Mr. Vash was always nice and he didn't like to kill people. Nicholas, he was friends with your father," Mily said.
Nick's eyes lit up. "Vash knew my dad? This is cool. Rem, we've got to go out and find Vash the Stampede!"
Rem nodded. "Mom, did he know my dad?" she asked.
Meryl thought for a minute and then nodded. "He sure did. They were great friends," Meryl said. She wrote down an address and phone number. "You two go here and tell them we sent you."
The two kids took the address, kissed their mothers good-bye, and then left the house.
"She's going to find out eventually," Milly said.
Meryl looked at her. "I didn't exactly know how to tell her. I still don't. That's why I'll let her explain it to Vash and she'll be able to bring him to me. When she tells him her name, he'll start freaking out and that's what I'm hoping for. I really miss him," Meryl said.
"At least your daughter has a father."
"I'm sorry Milly," Meryl said. She hugged her longtime friend. "I'm just not thinking to well."
"It's okay. So, what do you think about our kids getting together?" Milly asked. "If you ask me, they're starting to get some chemistry."
Meryl laughed. "Let's see what they do after they find Vash."
"RIght. It took you two a while to start anything, but Vash did have a past. With Nicholas and Rem, they've known each other for a while now."
Meryl nodded and then shook her head. "We're trying to set our kids up with each other!"
"The joys of being a mother," Milly replied.
Milly ran up to the young man when she saw him walking up to the house. "Oh, Nicholas Wolfwood! Where have you been?" Milly asked.
