Chapter Ten - What Hurts The Most
( Aftermath Of Eric's actions )
Nicole woke up the next morning before Ryan and went outside to the fresh air and sighed softly after what happened the day before and she knew that she would never forgive Eric for what he did and Ryan rolled over to find the other side of their bed empty and getting up, Ryan made his way into the living room where he then saw Nicole outside and walked over to her and snuggled into her and asks " You ok?" and Nicole tells Ryan " Just been thinking about yesterday" and Ryan knew what that meant and didn't want to pry as he knew that Nicole wanted to think things over and make a decision about what she would do next..
Ryan kept a close hold of Nicole in his arms while she was making a decision and turned around and snuggled into Ryan's chest when he lead her back to their bed and once back in bed, Nicole was snuggled in close to Ryan who promised himself that he would try harder to protect Nicole who then tells Ryan " I've made my decison" and Ryan asks " Which is?" and Nicole tells Ryan " I'm never ever gonna forgive Eric for what he did to me" which Ryan nods and replies " You didn't deserve that" and Nicole nods as her neck was slowly getting better but Nicole knew that she had made the right choice and it made her want to marry Ryan sooner than first thought..
After a while, both Nicole and Ryan were asleep with Nicole in close to Ryan like she was every night and half an hour later, Nicole woke up after having a flashback which woke Ryan who instantly knew why and pulled Nicole into him and comforted her in his loving way when Nicole tells Ryan " I'm thinking that we should tie the knot asap" and Ryan realises that Nicole wants to have the Wolfe surname asap and agrees to get married asap, then Nicole yawns softly and rests against Ryan's chest and slowly falls asleep again with Ryan by her side and for Nicole she was glad to have Ryan by her side..
Ryan had called Alexx to inform her that they were bringing the wedding forward and Alexx understood the reason why after Ryan told Alexx what had happened which took Alexx by surprise and she wasn't too happy about and neither was Horatio for that matter who would raise hell when Eric returned from New York..
( Miami - Eric returns )
Eric returned to Miami and went to the lab where an angry Alexx and Horatio were waiting for him in the break room and once Eric entered the break room and Alexx tells Eric " We know what you did to Nicole and trying to kill her was just evil" when Horatio replies " I agree with Alexx and why'd you do that?" and Eric then explains " I did it because i had to get Nicole away from Ryan and she wouldn't leave him" and Horatio then said " Nicole loves Ryan and you can't handle that so you thought of splitting them up would work but guess what! it didn't " which still annoyed Eric who guessed that Nicole wouldn't speak to him ever again..
( New York )
Nicole was still asleep after Ryan had woken up and watched Nicole sleep and Ryan knew that he was gonna make sure that Nicole and their unborn baby was safe from Eric and Ryan sighed and gently traced Nicole's cheek with his knuckles and it made him realise how much she meant to him and always would..
How will Ryan and Nicole's wedding go and will it be happy ever after?
