A Few Weeks Later

Nicole was in the dining room with a pencil in her hand and looking over the family maps. She was so into looking at the maps and marking spots she didn't even hear, or notice her dad walk in. "Nicole we need to talk." Nicole continued to look at the map on her dining room table.

"Alright." she said, not taking her eyes off the map. Her dad stood next to her and looked at the map with her.

"I think I'm gonna bring mommy with us this season." Nicole dropped the pencil she was holding in her hand and looked at him.

"What?" she asked blankly. She couldn't believe she was hearing this. Her and her mom on the boat together spelled bad idea. Mario held his hands up.

"Just hear me out Nicole." Nicole looked at him and sighed. She truly didn't really want to hear him out, but something in her mind told her to.

"I'm listening father." Mario sighed.

"Well between you being deck boss and now honorary captain, I think it would be a great idea if mommy came along and helped out on the boat." Nicole sighed.

"Dad. Mommy doesn't know what I do. You do know that right?"

"I know, but Nicole-"

"And you do know how she is gonna be when she finds out right?"

"Yes Nicole, but I promise you that I will talk to her." Nicole sighed and walked outside and took out her phone.

"Please pick up." She said as she waited for the person she called to answer.

"Hello beautiful." Nicole smirked. He always knew how to make her smile.

"Hey cupcake." she sighed.

"What's wrong baby?" Nicole sat down in the lawn chair in her backyard and looked at the pool.

"Well I just been informed by my father that my mother is now the official boat mom for the Bella Amore."

"Why is that bad? I thought you would like that." Nicole sighed and looked over her shoulder to make sure her mom wasn't in earshot.

"I do, but my mom has no idea what I really do on the boat. I know her too well Sig. She's gonna see me out there and I know she's gonna either be yelling over the hailer every five minutes telling me to get inside, or yelling at my dad telling him to get me inside."

"Well you know you are always welcomed on my boat. I'll put you to work." Nicole chuckled.

"You just want me on there for your sexual needs." Sig smirked.

"Well yea, but I like having you around and besides the guys like you too. They love your cooking." Nicole smiled. "Really though, I think you should give her a chance. It may be better than you think. If it don't work out, I'll send some of my deckhands to kidnap you." Nicole smiled.

"It sounds like a well thought out plan Sig." Nicole heard the door open and saw her sister who smiled at her. "Anyway the beautiful Kaitlyn Jill has come to retrieve me. I'll see you soon."

"Alright love. I love you." Nicole smiled.

"I love you too." she hung her phone up and looked at her sister who once again tackled her to the ground.

"So cute." she said. Nicole smirked and then felt another body on her.

"Nicole!" Nicole looked and saw Gia.

"Oh goodness Gia. When did you get here?"

"I live here Nicole. Did you forget?" Nicole smirked. Gia was Kaitlyn's good friend and practically lived at the house. She was always there and even kept clothes there. "Kaitlyn told me about Sig. I want to meet him."

"Well if you guys are coming when we cast off, I'll introduce you to him. You'll like him Gia. He is a great guy."

"He better be Nicole, or me and Kait will have to beat him up." Nicole chuckled. Kait and Gia always looked out for Nicole.

"Where is mommy and daddy?" Kaitlyn smiled.

"They went out for the night." Nicole said as she went back over to the maps she was looking at before. Just then there was a knock at the door.

"I got it!" Kaitlyn and Gia yelled at the same time as they raced to be the one to open the door. Nicole looked at them.

"No fighting! If one of you get hurt I'm not taking either one of you to the hospital!" Nicole barked as Kait and Gia continued to run towards the door laughing. Nicole smiled and went back to looking at the maps. Kait and Gia both got to the door and opened it together.

"Who the hell are you guys?" Kait asked. Nicole looked up.

"Oh god, it's the Hansen trio." Nicole chuckled and went back once again to looking at the maps. The three walked in and looked around.

"What are you doing Nicole?" Edgar asked.

"Well Edgar if you must know, I'm looking over some maps for next season." Sig smiled and walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to his body. "Why are you three here anyway?"

"Special request by your parents." Norman said as he walked into the kitchen. "Well they only asked Sig, but he decided to bring us along too." Nicole chuckled.

"So pretty much my parents gave me a babysitter. I'm 19 years old and I have babysitters. What has this world come to?" Sig kissed the top of her head and inhaled the scent of her shampoo.

"Does my hair smell good?" Sig smiled.

"It smells like strawberries and cream." he moaned and continued smelling her hair. Edgar looked at him and then Nicole.

"He likes the smell of my hair." Edgar chuckled to himself and went into the kitchen with Norman. Nicole watched him. "What are you two doing in there?" Nicole escaped from Sig's grasp who whimpered when she felt her warmth leave him. She looked at him. "Are you coming, or not?" She then turned around and walked into the kitchen with Sig close behind her.

"We wanna eat." Edgar chanted. "We wanna eat." Nicole smirked.

"Well what do you wanna eat?" Sig smiled as he finally made it into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around Nicole's waist again.

"What do you have?" Norman asked.

"Many things. Just tell me what you want." Nicole pulled out two recipe books and placed both of them in front of Norman. "Family recipe books straight from Norway and Italy. Look in them and see if there is anything you want." Norman opened the book and Edgar and Sig walked over behind him and the three looked through it together.

"Hey what is that?" Edgar said as he pointed to a recipe. Nicole walked over and grabbed the book and looked at it.

"You want this?" the Hansen boys nodded. "Alright then." The recipe was a simple one. It was spaghetti with olive oil and garlic mixed in it. Nicole didn't mind making something so simple, but she thought they would pick something more complicated. Nicole shrugged and let the spaghetti cook. Nicole put her head on the counter. She felt nauseous. Sig came behind her and rubbed her back.

"You alright baby?" Nicole nodded.

"Yea just feeling a bit sick. Its normal." Sig didn't ask anymore questions. He was well aware of what she meant by saying 'it's normal' and he didn't want to hear about it. Nicole picked her head up and smiled.

"All better." She said as she went and finished dinner for everyone.
