This chapter is formatted slightly differently; it's not a newspaper article, it's just a scene between Macy and Nick. It'll probably be shorter than all the other short chapters I've done though I don't know, because I haven't written it yet. Best get going then ;)
"Night night sweetheart," Macy whispered, walking out of her daughter Abigail's bedroom.
"I'll see you in the morning." Nick whispered, walking out of his son Alex's bedroom.
Abigail is 6, Macy was pregnant with her when Nick last went to visit Samantha and that's why Macy didn't come too. Alex is 3.
They both collapsed on the couch, Macy soon found her arms wrapped around Nick's waist and her legs draped over his lap.
"So what's on TV tonight?" She asked.
"I dunno. I'm sure something will be on; it's Saturday night." Nick answered, pointing the remote at the huge flat screen and pressing 'On'.
"Hello, my name is Samantha Brooks and this is the first episode of my new chat show." The TV sang.
Nick unwrapped himself from Macy's hold and leant his elbows on his knees; getting closer to the screen to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
"That's the girl that couldn't talk, right?" Macy questioned.
"Yeah…" Nick wasn't really listening; he was engrossed in her show.
"Some of you may recognise me from my brief encounter with Nick Lucas 6 years ago. I lost my voice and Nick helped fund the charity that helped afford my surgery. I just thought I'd take this moment to thank Nick if he's watching." Samantha's pre-recorded voice emitted from the TV.
Nick leaned back and pulled Macy's legs back over his lap and draped his arms over the back of the sofa.
"You wanna head back down to LA don't you?" Macy asked.
Nick smirked. "You know me too well."
"The kids are on Summer Vacation. And a week away would be good for all of us." Macy suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Nick agreed, kissing Macy's forehead.
"I'll tweet her and get her to call me sometime." Nick pulled out his phone.
"I'll book a hotel." Macy pulled the laptop from the floor as Nick texted quickly and became glued to Samantha's chat show again. She'd got some good guests for her first show; Sonny Monroe and the cast of So Random and All Star Weekend to perform their new single.
After the show had finished Nick turned to Macy.
"She's a really good host." Macy gave her analysis of the show.
"She knows how to ask really awkward questions." Nick laughed.
"And she's got guests light hearted enough to answer just as humorously." Macy continued as they analysed Samantha's show.
"She's gone from not being able to talk, to talking for a living. I love this girl." Nick laughed.
"Do you now?" Macy asked, raising her eyebrow.
"Not as much as I love you of course." Nick recovered, kissing Macy's forehead.
"I know. Now if we're going to LA tomorrow we should probably get some sleep." Macy prodded Nick's nose and rose to her feet.
"Yes Mom." Nick teased and chased Macy into the bedroom.
That's it. Fic finished. Thank you to all my readers.
