Hey everyone! I am so sorry I have been MIA. After surgery there were some issues and I just had a lot going on and my writing suffered. I am hoping to start updating more frequently again. I want to that everyone that has continued to read my story and reviewed for updates it means a lot and has kept me motivated to continue.

A few weeks later, the wedding was only two weeks away and Jamie and Eddie couldn't have been happier. Nicky had been at school for three weeks and was still adjusting. Eddie and Jamie had moved into their new house and were still working on the renovations. They had moved in one what was one of the hottest days of the year. Danny and Renzulli had complained that Eddie moved on the coldest day last year and then this year they were moving in on the hottest day.

Eddie and Jamie were painting the living room a light blue. Eddie had picked out a blue and yellow printed couch and decided that pale blue walls would look the best.

"Who knew you could paint so well?" Eddie asked surprised at how much wall Jamie had covered and how well it looked.

"Well when I was a rookie trying to pay off my law school debt I went to work with Renzulli painting as a side job. Wasn't a ton of extra money but it did help to be able to save as well. You know Renzulli, it had to be perfect" Jamie said laughing

"Well I am glad that I have my very own painter" Eddie said leaving over and kissing him.

"Oh yea?" Jamie asked pulling Eddie in for a hug.

Eddie smiled and dipped her finger in the paint and put in on Jamie's nose.

"Eddie what the?" Jamie asked

Eddie just smiled and Jamie grabbed his own paint brush and put the side of it on her face.

He realized that even painting could be fun with his fiancé.

"Ahh Jamie" Eddie said laughing

Eventually they were both laying on the tarp they had thrown on the floor so they wouldn't ruin the floors. Jamie got up and held his hand out for Eddie to get up.

"Jamie it's all over you butt!" Eddie said laughing all over again.

"I guess we spilled it and didn't know it" Jamie said laughing

"I'm gonna change" Jamie said

As Jamie walked into their new bedroom, the phone rang.

"Hello?" Eddie said

"Eddie" Nicky said frantic

"Nicky what's wrong?" Eddie asked concerned

"I hate it. Please come pick me up" Nicky said

"Why don't we talk about it" Eddie said

"No please, I want to come home" Nicky said starting to cry.

Jamie walked out to the kitchen and saw the worry on Eddie's face.

"Ed?" Jamie asked

Eddie mouthed Nicky.

"Nic, your Uncle Jamie just walked out. Do you want to talk to him" Eddie asked

"Hey Nic what's wrong?"

"I hate it Uncle Jamie, please come pick me up" Nicky said

"What's going on, why do you hate it?" Jamie asked concerned

"It's nothing like I thought, It's so different. I miss my friends and family" Nicky said

"I thought you lived with Melissa?"

"I do, but she has joined other clubs and has made new friends"

"Why don't you get involved?" Jamie asked

"There's so much to choose from. I just don't know what to do" Nicky said

"Well Eddie and I are covered in paint. Why don't we shower and then come up and take you out to dinner. I'm not going to bring you home because that will just make it harder. What do you think?" Jamie asked

"I guess"

"I think you just need some reassurance" Jamie said

"OK"

"Eddie and I should be there in about two hours ok. Think you can make it?"

"Yea" Nicky said

"Thanks Uncle Jamie"

"See you soon Nic" Jamie said

Jamie hung up and walked over to Eddie.

"Babe change of plans, we're going to see Nicky tonight"

"Do you think she is just homesick?" Eddie asked

"I think so. She didn't come home last weekend for dinner because of a quiz so I think she just misses everyone. She won't call and tell Erin because she knows Er will worry but she won't bring her home" Jamie said

Jamie and Eddie showered quickly and got ready to leave.

"No matter what she says we can't bring her home" Eddie said

"I know. I know I have a soft spot for her but she needs to stay. I was homesick up at Harvard and I made Joe drive up to see me. It was much better for her to stay"

"I just hope going to see her won't make it worse when we have to leave" Eddie said

"Just don't let me get back in this car with her in it" Jamie said

"Got it" Eddie said

Eddie and Jamie parked in front of Nicky's dorm building and went inside to sign in.

"Hey Nic" Jamie and Eddie said as they walked over to her

Nicky ran towards Jamie and threw her arms around him and Eddie.

"Nic what's wrong" Jamie asked hugging her tightly

"Can we just go some where for dinner?" Nicky asked

"Sure honey" Eddie said

Eddie and Jamie looked at each other. They walked back to the car and drove to the restaurant.

"Nic I don't want to push, but what is going on? What happened?" Jamie asked

They have pulled up to the restaurant and parked. Jamie and Eddie turned around to see if they could read Nicky's expression.

Nicky took a deep breath before she started "I hate it, I hate everything about college, I hate being away from home. I want to come home" Nicky said as tears slid down her cheeks.

Eddie got out of the car and into the backseat next to her and Jamie followed Eddie's lead.

"Nic it's OK to be homesick. My first few weeks at Harvard I made your Uncle Joe drive up on what ever days he had off because I missed everyone and I missed being home. In highschool you pretty much know the majority of people since you were in pre-school or kindergarten. It's a big adjustment being away from home. You just need to find some clubs or sports to get involved in. It will make you feel better and will get you involved. Or you can get a part time job or volunteer" Jamie said

"I don't know how, I feel like every time I talk to anyone they judge me and treat me like a little kid. Or they know that I'm a Reagan and are very quick to tell me if they love or hate Grandpa"

"Well we all know being a Reagan can have its downside. If they hate you before they meet you based on what they hear about your Grandpa then you don't need those kind of people in your life. Your Uncle Jamie is right, you should get involved in someway. It's a great way to meet people and make friends" Eddie said

"Once Spencer made me go to every single club meeting with him I had a lot more fun. I was just going to play intermural basketball but he also made me join some clubs. It's the best time in your life. Yes during midterms and finals and exceptionally busy weeks you will want to claw your eyes out and you will hate life but you will get through it and it will make you better"

"You know I had admitting this but your Uncle Jamie is right"

"Aww babe" Jamie said

"Watch it lambchop" Eddie said sassily

"And there it is" Jamie said laughing

"See I miss this, I miss you guys" Nicky said

"I know you haven't been home for family dinners but maybe know that you know you have to stay it will make it easier to go back" Jamie said

"I guess. Before you guys came I was planning ways so that you would take me home with you"

"And what were those ideas?" Eddie asked skeptically

"I was gonna tell you that I blacked out at the first party I went to and got pregnant so you would be forced to bring me home" Nicky said

Jamie didn't say anything he just choked on his on saliva.

"Hon, you haven't been at school long enough to be pregnant. It's been only two weeks" Eddie said laughing

Jamie just glared at them.

"I think you broke your Uncle Jamie again" Eddie said laughing

"Well I'm hungry" Jamie said

"You OK to go eat?" Eddie asked Nicky

"Yea" Nicky said wiping away a few stray tears.

"Thanks guys" Nicky said

"Anytime. You know I'm always there for you" Jamie said kissing the top of her head.

"Me too" Eddie said.
