Nikki was nervous it was just two days till the wedding, and then they were taking off for Texas. As far as everyone knew they had worked out there problems and got back together. They were rooming together again so no one would suspect everything wasn't on the up and up. Nikki had been sleeping on the floor. Mark told her she was being silly, that they were both adults and they should be able to share a bed. Nikki had just looked at him. Speak for your self she thought, if she had to share a bed with him she was going to screw his brains out. It was hard enough just sleeping on the floor next to him. Mark had insisted on a minister marrying them, she didn't know why. Maybe because he thought it would look better. They were having a small wedding with just a few close friends and that was it. They were in Denver at the moment so this would be the place they were married. There was a knock at the door. Nikki went and opened it.
"Hey Shawn." She said smiling."
"Hello beautiful." Shawn said.
He came in and sat down. Nikki shut the door.
"Why don't you tell me what's really going on?" Shawn asked.
"I don't know what you mean." Nikki said.
"You marrying, Mark all of a sudden. You were mad as hell and then you two decide to get married." Shawn said.
Nikki sighed. "Listen Shawn I'm doing what I got to do, just leave it at that." Nikki said.
"You're doing this to help him get his kid." Shawn said.
"Yes, but I do love him Shawn. I'm just not sure he loves me." Nikki said sadly.
"Well if he don't, he's nuts." Shawn said smiling.
"I know you love him Nikki, I hope things work out for you two, I really do. But if they don't, I'll be here. I would love to get to know you better." Shawn said smiling.
Nikki blushed and looked down.
"Damn you're a sweet little thing. But I can see your heart is with Mark." Shawn said.
He got up and pulled her up in front of him.
"Remember if you ever need anything, I'll be here. I'm you're friend okay?" He asked.
Nikki looked up at him and smiled.
"Okay." Nikki said.
Shawn pulled her close and lowered his lips to hers. He was intending on a friendly kiss but he got carried away. He flicked his tongue over her lips and nudged her mouth open. He pushed his tongue in her mouth teasing hers. Nikki returned the kiss sucking his tongue. Shawn groaned and pulled away.
"I do love Mark, but you're a damn good kisser." Nikki said grinning.
Shawn looked at her.
"You think getting married is a good idea?" Shawn asked her.
"Hey I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm not married yet." Nikki said grinning up at him.
"You're a bad girl." Shawn said laughing.
Nikki just shrugged. Hell Mark only wanted her to help him get his daughter, why shouldn't she do what she wanted. Shawn hugged her.
"Where's Mark?" He asked.
"Downstairs in Glen's room." Nikki said.
"Well I best go then. I'll be around if you ever change your mind." Shawn said.
He kissed her gently and left. Nikki watched him go. He was a good kisser, but her heart was with Mark. She decided to go hunt down John.
Nikki found John in a poker game at the hotel bar with a few of the other wrestlers.
"Hey girl." Ron Simmons said.
"Nikki, want to join us?" Bubba ray asked.
"No I think I'll just watch you guys if you don't mind?" Nikki asked.
John jumped up and got her a chair and pulled it up beside his. Nikki sat down.
"Of course we don't mind Nikki." John said smiling at her.
Nikki smiled back. John always went out of his way to be sweet to her.
"Hey Nikki, you come to your senses yet and left the deadman?" Chris asked her.
Nikki laughed. "No, Chris not yet." Nikki said.
"What you want to drink honey?" Brock asked her.
"Just a Pepsi, please." Nikki said.
"Oh come on Nikki, live a little. Have a beer." Chris said.
"No thank you, I don't drink that stuff." Nikki said.
"Leave her alone Chris." John said.
Chris just rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the game.
Brock came over and handed her a Pepsi.
"Here you go, beautiful." Brock said.
"Thanks Brock." Nikki said.
"Your welcome sweetie." Brock said.
Nikki sat with the guys a while laughing at their antics. John had the feeling Nikki had something on her mind.
"Alright guys I'm done for the night." John said getting up.
"Come on Nikki." John said.
They said their goodnights to everyone. Nikki walked with John up to his room not really saying anything.
"Come on in for a few minutes." John said.
Nikki followed him in and sat down on the couch. John sat down beside her.
"Want to tell me what's wrong?" John asked
"I'm scared." Nikki said looking down at her hands.
"Of what baby?" John asked.
"I don't know anything about kids. What if I screw her up or something? I mean look at the crappy mother I got. What if I'm a terrible mother?" Nikki asked.
"Nikki you're a good person. You'll do fine. I bet you'll make a great mother." John said smiling.
Nikki looked at John and did something she had wanted to do since she had lost him. She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him. John felt his heart catch. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. God it felt good to hold his baby again.
"Daddy I've missed you so bad." Nikki said.
John felt a few tears make there way down his cheek. He didn't think he would ever hear her call him that again.
"Baby girl, I've missed you too, more than you can know." John said.
Nikki sat there wrapped in his arms. She was so glad to have her dad back. She finally felt at peace with this part of her life.
"I would like you to give me away at my wedding." Nikki said quietly.
"Nothing would make me happier Nikki." John said.
Nikki stayed late talking to John. They did a lot of healing that night. At least one thing is going right for me Nikki thought.
Nikki opened her and Mark's door. Mark was lying on the bed watching TV.
"Where in the hell have you been, its 1:00AM!" Mark bellowed at her.
"None of your business." Nikki said walking into the bathroom to shower. Mark was steaming. Things were not going as planned. Nikki even refused to sleep in the bed with him. How the hell could they work things out if she was going to act like this? Well he was going to set that little girl straight as soon as she got out of the shower.
