Chapter 3.

The next couple of days around in the afternoon, Chloe, Anna, Karen and Harry were walking down the side walk when they were coming back from the general store that was right down the street. Harry and Dan had to work at the Court house that night. Harry and Karen were on either side of Anna while holding her hand. Chloe watched her daughter while she was walking right behind them with a loving smile on her face. Then all of a sudden, just out of no where, someone was hiding in an alley way rushed out and a man that Nicks recognized just as Chloe quickly turned around and she knew it was him coming at her. "Steven! Don't do this!" Nicks screamed as loud as she could at him, so the people around them would hear her. Holy shit, her former husband was in New York and he was very pissed off. Browne grabbed her from behind as she dropped the bag of items and he punched her in her face first and he bashed her head against the brick wall and Chloe fell unconscious on the side walk. She was out like a light. Anna screamed and sobbing 'Mamma!' for her mother as she turned her head to see her getting hurt by her own abusive father.

Harry told Karen to get Anna inside their apartment safely and she did what she was told. Anna wanted to get to her mother to help and stay with her, but Karen held onto the 5 year old little girl and she brought her inside to safety from her abusive father. Some of the Police officers were on duty patrol that day, driving down the street in the patrol cars and the 2 cops caught sight of the man that was all over the newspapers and the news stations. 1 of the Police officers told their commanding officer that they may need back up and an ambulance for Chloe. Harry tried to get Steven off of her, but Browne was stronger than he was before he tried to run off. The 2 cops quickly climbed out of the patrol car and they pointed their guns at the perp. Steven was arrested when the back up of Police arrived and the paramedics got Chloe into the ambulance to the hospital.

Harry knew that he had to call Dan and to tell him the news about Chloe after they got to the hospital. At the apartment, Karen held Anna into her arms lovingly while the little girl was crying uncontrollably for her mother and she wanted to stay with her, but Karen had to keep Anna safe from her father. Anna was having a traumatic experience when she witnessed her father hurting Chloe along side the side walk and that got her very upset and started sobbing uncontrollably.

Hours later at the hospital, Karen had to work as a nurse that night and she brought Anna with her to stay with Harry and Chloe, who was in a hospital bed with a black eye, a busted lip and a cloth bandage that was wrapped around her head. Chloe had a severe concussion after Steven roughly bashed her head against the brick wall. Harry was sitting in a chair next to the bed where Nicks was laying on. After Chloe was immediately rushed to the hospital with a head injury, Harry called Dan to let him know what had happened while he was holding Anna, who was now sleeping in his arms. The little girl had cried so much that she had fallen asleep from exhaustion. The poor girl. Harry took the night off from work at the Court house. Karen was checking her best friend's vitals every hour to make sure that she was doing well. Chloe was very luck that she was still alive.

Fielding was shocked and frantic at the same time when Stone told him on the phone when he told him the bad news about Chloe. Dan called and told his boss that 'about to become his girlfriend' was in the hospital with a bad concussion. His boss completely understood and he told him to take the night off. Mac, Bull, Roz and Christine were shocked and sad that their friend was in the hospital. Dan Fielding had thought about having a commitment to a woman named Chloe Nicks. Dan never felt this love and commitment in a very long time. Something within him clicked. Fielding then realized that he was beginning to feel the love for Chloe and her daughter, Anna even more everyday ever since they moved back from California. 'No more 1 night stands with the other girls that I'd go with.' Fielding thought out loud to himself while he was getting ready to go meet Harry and Karen at the hospital to see and stay with Nicks and Anna until she gets better. 'My player days are now over. I now realize that I love Chloe and Anna and nothing will get in between us.' Dan said out loud before he walked out of his apartment door.

When he got to the hospital, Dan rushed over to the nurse's station and he asked for Chloe. And the nurse asked him if he was family or a very good friend to Nicks and he told the nurse that Chloe happened to be his girlfriend. The nurse named Gail understood and she told him Nick's hospital room and she let him go to her. Fielding needed her and Anna with him in his life. Dan knew that Chloe was not like any other woman. His player day are definitely over when he realized that he wanted a commitment and love with Chloe and Anna and Fielding couldn't live without them. He loved Anna and he wished he could have children and grow old with her in the future if they ever get married someday. He knew that he would take things slow with Chloe before she was feeling better, but now, she was at the hospital with a head injury. Good thing that Harry told him that Steven Browne was arrested for attempted murder and assaulting Chloe. Attempted murder can be a felony in the 50 states. The laws may have changed, but who the hell knows. But the attempted murders can be a felony big time in the states of New York and California and even Connecticut.

Dan walked into the room where Harry sat in the chair with Anna, who was sleeping in his lap. Fielding saw Chloe in the bed with bandages around her head where she had the concussion. She was very lucky that she didn't have her skull fractured when Steven bashed her head against the brick wall. Harry heard Dan and he looked up at him before he stood up. "Hi there, Dan." Stone said before he handed him a sleeping Anna into his arms. "Anna's been crying for Chloe to get better and please take very good care of the both of them." He told him as he sniffled a bit, trying to hold back the tears when he started to walk towards the door. Harry turned around and looked Dan in the eyes. "The police arrested Steven Browne earlier for mugging, assault and battery. Stay with Anna and Chloe. They need you and I'll get Karen for you to talk to her and she's working here tonight." He added.

Dan nodded at his friend while holding Anna in his arms. Fielding didn't trust his voice at the moment. Seeing Chloe like this in her condition broke his heart. Harry walked out the door to give them some private time alone. Fielding sat down in the chair and he slid the chair much closer to the bed where Nicks was laying in, resting. He wrapped his arm around Anna and he lifted his other hand to gently grab hold of Chloe's into his and he entwined them together. He knew the moment that he was there with her, he would never let her go. Not ever. Dan now knew that his player days were over. He sighed deeply and his eyes were getting very tired. Before he closed his eyes, he heard Karen walked into the room to check Chloe's vitals. She turned to smile at him. "I see that you're staying here with her until she opens her eyes to wake up and hope that she feels better, Dan." Karen said to him.

Fielding took a deep breath as he was holding his tears back. He looked up and he gave her a sad smile. Karen knew that Dan started to love Chloe from the way he looked at her. "Yeah, I'm staying with Chloe and Anna. My boss told me when I told him that my girlfriend is in the hospital and he told me that I have the night off from the Court house tonight and tomorrow night." Fielding nodded before he looked at Chloe and he glanced down at the sleeping little 5 year old girl in his arms. Before she left the room, Karen told him that she would have someone get an extra cot for Dan if he was planning on staying with Chloe and Anna in which he was staying. Karen then left the room. She would come back in an hour or so to check on her best friend. Dan knew that Harry had the tonight off at the Court house. Stone understood that Fielding wanted to stay with Chloe and keep Anna company. He treated Anna like his own daughter.

Minutes later, a maintenance guy and a nurse's aid walked in with a cot for Fielding to sleep on. Dan quietly told them that he wanted to cot closer to the bed where Chloe was in and they did bring the bed closer to Nicks. The nurse's aid and the maintenance man noticed that Dan is in love with the unconscious patient on the bed and they left the room to give Fielding, Anna and Chloe their privacy alone. Dan stood up from the chair and he held the sleeping 5 year old with 1 arm and with his other hand, he grab hold of the cot and tried to quietly as he could to drag the cot closer to the hospital bed and he placed the cot right in it's place. He wanted to be near Chloe and stay with her. He carefully sat down and he turned, so he could lie down onto his back on the cot without waking up Anna, who was still sound asleep in his arms. Dan turned his head to look at Nicks and he gently took hold oh her hand in his and he closed his eyes and he fell sound asleep. He had a rough day since he had that phone call from Harry and called his boss to take the 2 days off from the District Attorney's office. This time, Dan knew that his player days are now over, because he has Chloe and Anna.

The next morning, Chloe started to stir carefully, because of the bandages on her head. She opened her eyes and she wondered where she was at. Nicks rubbed her eyes to get the sleep out of them cautiously as she still had the 2 black eyes. Chloe quietly sighed and she looked down right next to the bed. She saw Dan Fielding and her daughter, who was on top of him and was sound asleep. Nicks smiled tenderly at them. She remembered what had happened yesterday when her former husband had hurt her physically. The last thing that she remembered was that before Steven bashed her head against the brick wall. She heard Anna screamed for her and to tell her father to stop hurting her mother and she saw Harry rushed over to her before she lost consciousness. She was very damn lucky that she was very much alive.

Chloe gently squeezed his hand to let him know that she was indeed awake. Dan felt her hand squeezed his and he opened his eyes. He remembered where he was at from the night before. Fielding rubbed the sleep off of his eyes before he rested his hand on Anna, who was still sound asleep in his arms. Dan then turned his head to see Nicks was awake and alive. He was smiling widely that he was very happy that his girlfriend was awake. Dan looked down at the 5 year old little girl. To him, Anna looked so adorable when she sleeps peacefully. He placed his hand on her shoulder and he shook her tenderly without startling her. "Anna, honey. You need to wake up, sweetie." He said quietly.

Anna fluttered her eyes opened and she looked up at him. "Mr. Fielding?" She asked in confusion. Dan told her that it was him. Then she turned her head and she surprised to see her mother was awake from her deep sleep at the time being. "Mamma!" Anna squealed in delight as she was getting out of Dan's arms to get to her mother. Fielding told her to go easy on her, because of the bandages on her and the little girl understood. When Anna was close enough, Chloe wrapped her arms around her daughter with the tears of joy in her eyes. Nicks looked up at Dan and she scooted over, so he could lay right next to her and did as she told him.

While she was holding Anna, both Chloe and Dan looked at each other with the love reflected in their eyes. He told her. "My player days are now over, Chloe, now, that I'm with you and Anna. I love you both." Fielding told his girlfriend before he leaned over to brush his lips to hers in a tender kiss. Chloe said 'I love you too, Dan' to him before they kissed once again on the lips. Anna looked at her mother and Dan while they were kissing and she giggled at this. The little girl was happy that Chloe and Dan are now together. Dan broke their kiss and he caught Anna giggling and he gave her a warm as he rubbed her back up and down. Before she went home for the day, Karen was so excited when she saw her best friend awake and kissing Dan. Karen also told them that 'well it was about time you 2'. They all laughed at this. A few moments later, the Doctor along with Karen walked in and interrupted their kissing session and he had told them that Chloe may stay another night for observation and Dan was alright with that. Karen went home to Harry and told Stone the very good news. Now, she and Harry were planning on giving Chloe a welcome home party and their friends from the Court house were invited.

Night Court 1984 through 1992 Dan Fielding/OC Night Court 1984 through 1992 Dan Fielding/OC

A day later, Chloe was released from the hospital to go home to Harry and Karen, but she had to take it easy. Dan carried Anna in his arms while they waited for a taxi to go home. And when they walked into the apartment, their very good friends surprised Chloe for her get well and welcome home party. Everything else went perfect for Nicks, Dan and Anna. After the party was over and everyone went home to get ready for for work that night. Dan and Harry had to work at the Court house that night. Anna would have to stay with Karen, who had the night off from the hospital that night. Anna, Harry, Karen and Dan helped Chloe around, loving her and supporting her. (Yes, I have seen patients go home from hospitals a day up to a week go home with head injuries before. It depends of how bad it gets. I'm a certified Ambulance, Fire and Police Department. Not joking at all.)

Then, Harry told Chloe that there was a job opportunity that she would be Dan's assistant and Nicks was very excited at the news that she was going to be Fielding's assistant. Dan to was very happy about this for Chloe going to work with Fielding. The next day that Dan, Chloe and Anna have to go to Court for the arraignment and trial for Steven Browne on charges of murder, attempted murder, domestic violence, assault and battery. Chloe was so worried that her former husband would do anything to get out of this and Dan won't let anything happened to his girlfriend and her daughter.

A week later at the Court house in the murder trial of New York and California VS. Steven Browne. Dan sat right next to Chloe and Anna, who was sitting into his lap and they waited for the verdict and the Judge had the jury placed the verdict into their hand. The jury said that Steven Browne was plead guilty for all counts of the charges that he was placed with. Browne screamed, blamed on them for his problems and he yelled at Chloe for not helping out. Fielding and Nicks were relieved that Steven was going to be put behind bars for many years to come.

A few days later, Chloe finally got her bandages off of her head and her bruises were healing very well with the help of Karen and Dan. Harry was out at the Court house, working on some case records that night. Anna stayed with Karen at their apartment safely while Fielding took Nicks to his place to have dinner on their night off. After they ate their supper, Dan and Chloe were feeling tired for the night, but their love was so strong with each other no 1 would ever believe.

1 night when Nicks worked with Dan, a woman walked into his office and she tried to get Fielding to go out with her and Dan told the other woman to go find another man that would go with her. The other woman wondered why he told her this. Dan said, "I already have a girlfriend that I love now and there is nothing and nobody can do anything to break us apart. My girl to girl days are now over for me and I have the woman that I love is sitting right here with me is my assistant." Dan gestured with his hand the woman towards Nicks. "Now go find some other guy, lady who can go out with you" Fielding told the woman, who looked at Chloe, who smiled widely at her and she told her 'bye bye' to her. And the woman got pissed off, being little miss drama queen at them and she stormed out of Dan's office. And that was that.

When they came home from work that early morning, both went over to Harry and Karen's apart and Fielding slept with her in her bedroom and he wrapped his arms around her firmly. Dan Fielding was such a cuddler and Chloe and Anna both loved it. Anna slept on the couch in the same room. A few days later when everything went so very well, Dan invited Chloe to his place for dinner when Karen and Harry were baby sitting Anna. Fielding had known Nicks for a long time. He wanted to marry her and have kids and grow old with her.

After they ate dinner, Dan walked Chloe into his bedroom. They stood right next to his bed. This was their first time in a very long time of about to do love making. Good thing that Anna was over at Harry and Karen's apartment for them to baby sit her and keeping her out of trouble. Both Karen and Harry knew that both Dan and Chloe loved each other and needed their intimate privacy alone together. The love birds rested their foreheads against 1 another and they took a deep breath. Chloe had undone Fielding's tie along with unbuttoning his shirt to his waist. She stood there and she looked at him with love in her eyes as she took his shirt from the waist band of his pants and unbuttoned the few buttons before Chloe pushed his shirt off of his shoulders and down his arms along with his suit jacket and in a pile on the floor at the end of his bed.

Dan help Chloe pulled his under shirt over his head and he threw it with the pile of clothes on the floor. Nicks ran her hands over his chest and stomach. His skin was soft to the touch. Fielding shuttered at the feeling of her hands touching his skin. before following her hands with her lips on his upper torso. Dan let her take her time exploring and touching his body until the heat was building up inside of him became a bit too much. Dan pulled Chloe up and he pulled her into his arms close to him, trying to get himself under control. "I want to make love to you, Chloe." He said in a whisper. He pulled her back a bit and Dan held her face in his hand, gently brushing his finger across over her lips. "I love you, Chloe Nicks. With all my heart and soul." He added lovingly.

"And I love you, Dan Fielding with all my heart and soul." She whispered and he heard her very well. Dan leaned over and he captured her lips to his in a passionate kiss. Pulling her back, he turned her around and she wondered what he was doing at first when she felt his hands ran up and down from her shoulders down to her arms. Fielding started to remove her clothes and he started with her shirt and he helped her pulled it over her head and he threw it onto his pile of clothes on the floor. His touch on made her shiver in a good way. Nicks looked over her shoulder at him and she saw the love and the hungry look in his face and in his eyes. Turning to face him, Chloe reached her hands towards her back to unclasp her bra and she pulled the straps down, but Dan just stood there, staring at her as she was showing more skin to him. Fielding's mouth was watering by the way he was looking at her.

He then stopped her when he pushed her hands away as he pulled her bra straps down her arms and off. Dan couldn't resist kissing and lightly nipping between her neck and shoulder and she moaned his name. The sounds that Chloe was making Dan's desire and love to please her even more. He also unzipped her pants and he helped her taked them off before he put them with their other clothes on the floor. Fielding took a step back and looked at her body before him. "Oh, Chloe, you look so beautiful. I can't get enough of you." He said before he lifted her into his arms while they kissed and her legs were wrapped around his waist. He laid her gently on his bed. Nicks chuckled when Dan quickly took his shoes and socks off and he had undone the buckle of his belt along with the button and the zipper of his pants and he let them and his boxer shorts fall to the floor where he placed them with their clothes. And now he was in his naked glory and to her, he looked ever so handsome.

Chloe moved herself towards the center of his bed when Dan climbed into his bed and he laid up against her as he pulled her to him. Fielding ran his hand up and down her side and over her flat stomach and the feel of his hands on her skin, her muscles rippled at the contact of his hands on her down at her, Dan captured her lips to his once again. His tongue traced her bottom lip before he deepened their kiss. Chloe felt the heat and butterflies in her stomach as he lifted his hand onto her breast and he rolled her nipple in between his fingers. Nicks broke their kiss and she moaned softly and she threw head back against his pillows in pleasure and was trying to control her breathing from the feeling of his hands. "It's always been you, Dan." Her words to Fielding swelled into his chest and he kissed her lips once again, this time, he's letting go of all of the control that he was holding onto and giving into the desires and love flowing through his veins and consuming him.

Dan quickly stood up and he peeled her panties down her legs. He climbed back into his bed before he spreaded her legs and he settled in between them. Chloe wrapped her arms around his neck and Fielding then rolled them over with a move that she didn't know where it came from. Dan was strong and Nicks knew this. It thrilled her along with a bit of shock to her as well as she straddled with her legs on either side of his hips. Dan softly laughed lovingly at the look of amazement on her face when they both moaned when he arched up his hips and his cock rubbing her. Dan threw his head back and he breathed her name. He took hold of her waist in his hands when she rocked back and forth against him, making her feel wet for him. Chloe leaned over towards him, letting her breasts rub against his chest and she heard Dan hiss in pleasure in her ear. She leaned down to kiss and nibble on his neck and it's driving him nuts. She was getting more bolder towards Dan everyday since she left her former husband. And Fielding loves Chloe for that.

Nicks kissed and nipped the spot on his neck and she moved her body against his. Dan softly growled deep within his chest and she felt him against hers before he quickly rolled them back over, so she was on her back with him pinning her below him. Dan raised her legs and spreading them wide and he knew that she ready for him, because he can smell her arousal and he also knew that she was so wet for him and he knew that she was ready for him to take her. He grasped his cock in his hand as he positioned himself at her entrance. Dan looked down at her without breaking eye contact bore he pushed himself into her slowly without hurting her. They both moaned when Dan entered her and he buried himself to the hilt into her and he allowed Chloe time to adjust to his size. Nicks looked up at Fielding as she took a deep breath and she relaxed around him, rolling her hips to signal him that she was ready.

Dan looked straight into her eyes as he leaned down to kiss her lips to his before he buried his face into her neck and he groaned as he began to thrust in and out of her in a slow pace while they were making love. She wrapped her arms him. She ran her hands from his upper back all the way down to grab his ass to push him deeper into her when she felt him clenching as he thrust in and out of her. He felt her inner walls clamping around him and he started to thrust faster and harder into her. They moaned at the feeling of each thrust he made. As her second climax began to come in her, Dan quickly rolled them over with her straddled his hips as he thrust up into her as he took hold of her hips and he helped guide her up and down on him. He needed to hold onto her. Skin against skin. Fielding quickly sat up. He was still inside of her as he held her close against him, thrusting up into her. She quickly wrapped her legs around his waist, facing him while he was making love to her.

He knew that they were getting very close. Dan held onto her with his arm around her and his other hand place in between them to make her come. They were getting closer to the edge. He felt her walls tightened around him and pulled herself more closer to him. Fielding panted against her ear and he told her to let go. Chloe came hard with relief as she moaned his name. Her legs tightened a bit and her toes curled. Dan moved her long hair to the side and he lightly bit her onto her shoulder. He thrusted up into her a few more times when he groaned her name as he let go. She told him that she loved him and he told her the same that he loved her as well. They fought to catch their breath as they laid back onto his bed. Chloe laid on her back, trying to cat her breath when Dan ran his hand across her skin on her chest and he felt her heart beat. She rolled closer to Dan and she rested her head on his chest and she wrapped her arm around his waist and she pulled him close to her. Chloe kissed his chest where his heart was at and she felt his lips pressed against the top of her head and he kissed her head. They took the blankets and they covered themselves up under them. They held each other in their arms. they kissed before they closed their eyes to fall asleep.
