The DVD began with a picture of Nikola with Mary Lisa. Nikola began to explain the picture before Helen even asked, "That was the first time I had ever been in one of those photo booths. I had always thought them to be unsanitary, but all she had to do was look at me with those big blue eyes of hers and I would have done pretty much anything. Even sit in a public box with a camera inside." He laughed about it, but Helen saw the hurt behind the joke. As the movie began it when in standard order. First was Birth, to which Nikola commented "You know, for all the medical advancements made over the years, you would think they would have come up with a cleaner way to get a baby birthed." Helen laughed at him and said "well, I believe it was once said that birth was both miraculous and disgusting." Next was one month, two, three, and so forth. Every month of Kate's life was documented until age five. After that it was every school function and birthday. All three DVD's gave Nikola what he missed. By the end of the third DVD, Helen could see Nikola silently crying. Kate had graduated valedictorian from High School and in her speech talked about a certain inventor who was a big inspiration to her and was her hero and just happened to be a distant relative. "Helen I have to meet her." Nikola stated into the silence. "Ok, Niko, you know I am here for you, whatever you decide. I think you have a wonderful daughter. And who better to help her with her gift than you. I know this will be hard, but I am here. Always!" Nikola just smiled and grabbed Helen's hand and they walked to their suite. Inside, Helen got ready for bed while Nikola did his nightly rituals and then they switched, Helen entering the bathroom while Nikola changed for bed. Helen distantly thought how easily they had gotten into a routine when they had only been sharing a suite for a few months. She laughed at the thought, knowing quite well they were both creatures of habit. She knew the next few days would be hard for both her and Nikola. More so for him because what would it do to Nikola if his daughter wanted nothing to do with him, or was repulsed by his vampiric side. It was still unknown if Kate's abnormality was the same as her father's or if she possessed another gift as Ashley had.

The next day at about 10am, Nikola rolled out of bed only to see not an empty bed, but Helen propped up against the headboard reading a book and smiling at him. "What are you doing still in bed, are you not feeling well? You're never in bed past 7am. What's wrong? Do you need something?" Nikola was panicking by this point. Helen always was up and gone before he even thought of waking up. Something was wrong, did she have second thoughts about Kate, was she scared of what this meant for them and their relationship, his mind was racing and his heart was as well. It wasn't until Helen was checking his pulse did he realize he was on the floor. "What are you doing Helen and why am I on the floor?" Nikola asked questioningly. "Well, as I would guess you had an anxiety attack which caused you to hyperventilate and pass out, but without other tests I can't be sure. Are you feeling alright now?" she asked. "I have a massive headache, but otherwise ok. Oh, and by the way, I'm a vampire, we don't do anxiety attacks. Helen just smiled as she helped him up and put him back on the bed and just shook her head. She went into the bathroom and returned with his medication along with two aspirin and a glass of water. "What, no wine?" he pouted. "Not until after breakfast" Helen stated mothering. "Oh, and by the way in answer to your questions: I was in bed because I was worried about you. No, I am not sick, I have been known to sleep in on occasion, and nothing is wrong nor do I need anything. So, what do you fancy for breakfast? Deer, Bear, or Cow plasma today?" As she got her robe on Nikola watched her and did the same. He sure did love this woman. It did nothing to lessen the pain of losing Mary Lisa, but it did make the whole in his heart get a little smaller every day. "I think I'm going to be adventurous and go for surprised. You pick the plasma of the day dear" he said jokingly. Helen smiled at the old banter between them. It would not be easy forgetting about what today would hold, since today was the day he was contacting Kate. He sure did hope she wanted him to be in her life, because after he had watched the DVD's, all he wanted was to love his little girl and share her with Helen. And have the family he had not had in over a hundred years. Helen was his family, and now it was growing. The only thing better would be if Ashley was still here. And barely whispered he said "I sure do miss you blondie, as crazy as that sounds." Little did he know that he was heard...?
