Few hours past Lynsey and Catherine fell asleep against Gil. Sara was asleep with Nick's arms around her, she felt safe. Nick felt Sara's resting against him, but he couldn't sleep. He kept one eye open at all times, watching everyone around him.

Ecklie walked to Nick, "She's beautiful when she sleeps..." he whispered.

Nick glared at Ecklie and uttered a small, "Shut up Ecklie.." under his breath.

"What do you think Nigel?" Ecklie smiled.

"she's alright..." Nigel said simply.

"Come on Nigel! You don't aprove of Nickys girl? Who else is there for a man like our little Nicky?" Ecklie smiled. He looked at him for an answer, "Well... you ARE the top expert on Nick..."

"Yes... but personally... i think she's coming between Nick and me... but i can fix that..." Nigel smiled.

"Nick and I have so much catching up to do, and i think Sara in just standing in the way..." Nigel looked over at Nick.

Ecklie smiled and laughed, "Nick and Sara are yours man..." he walked off to the sofa.

Sara opened her eyes, "Nick..." She sat up slightly looking about her, her hand reached for Nicks.

Nick looked at Sara shakily.

"What's wrong babe?" Sara asked. Her hand rubbed his cheek.

Nigel walked over to Nick. "Nick? Do you recognize my shirt and pants?" He smiled at Nick, squatting down next to him and Sara. "Do they ring a bell?"

Sara looked at Nigel, "Ohh my go....."

Nick looked at Sara and then at Nigel. *He's still wearing my clothes??* Nick thought to himself *aren't they the ones he was wearing that night?*

"You sad bastard!" Sara spat.

Nigel shot a sharp look at Sara. "you know... you're really starting to annoy me..."

"Really! Well you already annoyed me!" She snarled, god she hated him. Sara squeezed Nick's hand.

Nigel stood up and walked back over to where Ecklie was standing.

Sara frowned and quietly said, "Buy your own clothes...."

Ecklie watched this exchange and smirked.

Nick looked at Sara and squeezed her hand gently.

"He freaks me out..." Sara looked to Nick, *Our first son's name won't be Nigel!* She thought smiling at Nick, *Our son...*

Nick looked at her and couldn't help but smile slightly at her. "what are you thinking about?"

"Whats wrong Nigel?" Ecklie asked.

Nigel looked over at Ecklie and shook his head.

"Names..." Sara blurted out.

"Names?" Nick looked sideways at her. "for what"

"Children..." Sara looked at him and blushed.

Nick smiled at her and kissed her gently.

Sara smiled.

Ecklie heard their conversation and looked at Nigel, "Kids names... cute, I guess Gil and Warrick will be the God-fathers."

"Wonder who will be the third God-father..."

Nigel looked up at Ecklie. "What are you talking about?"

"They are talking about kids, children, They said three kids... guess you won't be anything to do with Nick once this is over."

Nigel looked angrily at Ecklie. "whatever..." he grumbled

Ecklie frowned, he needed Nigel to push Nick and Sara apart. "I knew you didn't REALLY like Nick, I mean if you don't care about not being a god father. Not caring Sara's getting in the way, ahh well...."

Nigel turned around and glared at Ecklie. "Of Course I like Nick... and I don't want Sara to get between us and she won't...."

"Surrrrrre." Ecklie sniffed.

Nigel grumbled at Ecklie. "One of either two things are gonna happen. Either I get Sara out of the picture so i can be with Nick... or I can take Nick out of the picture and become him..."

"Sara would never go for you..."

"Then I'll just go with option number one...." Nigel smiled.

"THATS gonna happen...."

Nigel looked over at Nick and Sara with a smug look. "it will... "

Sara hugged Nick unaware of Nigel looking.

Nigel looked over at Ecklie. "It won't be easy though... are you gonna help me or not?"

"Tell me what to do!"

Nigel thought about the moves he would have to make to make sure Nick and Sara were separated for good. "hmm... well either we kill Sara... or I can take Nick away somewhere..." Nigel paused to think some more.

"Whatever is good for you.... killing would be fun..." Ecklie grinned over at Nick and Sara.

"Maybe both... kill Sara then I can take Nick away..." Nigel pondered. "Gimme some more time to think.."

Sara looked at Nick, "Your tired, get some rest."

"I can't sleep..." Nick said softly.

Sara kissed his cheek, "ok baby..."

Lynsey looked at Gil.

Gil looked over at Lynsey. "yea hun?"

She crawled over beside him and whispered, "I phoned Captain Brass."

Gil smiled at her. "good girl..."

"What did he say? are they on their way?" he whispered back to her.

She nodded, "sit tight."

Gil nodded and gave her a gentle hug. Lynsey grinned.

"Let's just hope things don't get worse before they get here.." Gil said quietly.

"What are you too all smiles about?"

"we were just thinking..." Gil said simply

Ecklie walked over to the two. "I'm warning you Gil... if you dare cross me, I'll kill both girls..."

"I won't... " Gil said seriously.

"But not little angel!" He smiled at Lynsey.

Lynsey snuggled into Gil and Catherine. Gil wrapped a protective arm around Lynsey.

"You'll never be her dad Gil!" Ecklie smiled, "Never"

"You know something Ecklie... it's a little too late to say that... cuz i already am..."

Lynsey frowned, "Yes he will! He's the best dad ever! Better than you'd ever be!"

Ecklie fired a shot.

Catherine woke up, "Lynsey! Gil!"

Gil looked over at her. "we're fine..."

Lynsey was crying, Catherine went over and hugged them, "Shhh"

Sara frowned at the shot, she clung to Nick. Nick looked at her, and hugged her tightly. Ecklie looked to Nigel. Nigel fumed silently, glaring in the direction of Nick and Sara.

Sara whispered into Nick's ear, "What is he going to do?"

"I don't wanna know..." Nick said quietly.

"You gonna do anything now?" asked Ecklie to Nigel

Nigel paced back and forth next to Ecklie. "I dunno... I dunno... I need to think this through..."

"They're getting too close.... I gotta tear them apart..." Nigel whispered.

"Then do it!" Ecklie smiled.

Sara smiled at what Nick said and kissed his cheek, even in this situation he could make her smile. Nick smiled a little at Sara and rested his forehead against hers.

"I love you..." She whispered.

"I love you too..." He whispered quietly.

Nigel huffed and turned to Ecklie. "I need to dispose of Sara... "

Ecklie smiled, "Really!" he said sarcastically

Nigel sighed at Ecklie.

Sara rubbed Nick's cheek and thought of their house.

She looked to Gil catherine and Lynsey, all cuddled together, Catherine and Lynsey asleep and Gil was dosing, she smiled. Her smile fell into a frown, "We have to get out of here."

"I know... but how..." nick thought. "We need a distraction.."

Sara looked at Nigel, he was staring at Nick and her with such disgust.

it made her shiver and cuddle into Nick. Nick looked up at Nigel then back at Sara.

"Maybe he's looking at me wearing your clothes..." Sara thought outloud.

Nick looked at her... "I forgot that you were..." he smiled softly at her.

Sara smiled back, "I hope you don't mind, they were the first thing i could find."

"You look great in them..." He grinned.

Sara blushed and giggled. She rested her head againest his chest. Nick ran his fingers through her hair and smiled. Sara glanced over at Nigel again, the hate nd anger in his face were showing overtime. "Nick Nigel is freaking me out...."

Nick looked over and shuddered. "I know... me too"

Sara cuddle close, wanting to sleep but couldn't, she was to afraid too **

Nick felt her nervousness and instinctively pulled her closer to him. "It'll be ok... I'll get us out of this somehow..." He whispered in her ear.

She nodded and stared at Nigel.
