Title: Home Sweet Home

Author: Winter Blaze

Disclaimer: Don't own any of the Lizzie characters

Authors Notes: I was going to put the rest of the chapters in Lily's POV, but I changed my mind.

For those who have not read To Protect you might want to do that if you get lost.

I own Lily, Nick, Chris, Tanya, Rosetta, Ella, Kingsley, Jeremy, Alex, and Nina. I think that is all of them. If you want to use any of my characters please let me know because I like to see how people would use them.

Chapter 2: Grandpa Sam

A brown-haired young woman walked out of the house to go get the mail. She opened the mailbox, and then shut it closed. She walked back towards the house, but before she could open the door, a dark brown-haired man opened the door. "Were you just on your way out, Nick?" Sea green eyes starred into hazel eyes just for a moment.

"Yea, Lily mom wanted me to go to the store to get milk."

"Well see ya!"

Nick stepped to his right and let her pass, then continued on his way. Lily shut the door behind her and walked into the kitchen with the mail still in her hands. A petite woman with dark brown hair looked up from in the kitchen and asked, "Lily, what do you want me to fix you?"

"Miranda I don't want anything and you know I can fix it for myself."

"Ever since we took you in three months ago you have been three things: independent, willful, and a pain in my ass."

"I know. We weren't able to celebrate my seventeenth birthday when you took me in, so could we do that today?" "Sure what do you want to do?"

The question lingered in the air for a long time. Each of them remembered meeting, but for Lily she held the journey. Miranda just held the meeting. "I don't know."

Just then, a man with brown hair came walking into the kitchen. "What are you lovely ladies up to this morning?" Miranda walked over to the man who was her husband and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Just talking about celebrating Lily's seventeenth birthday today, Larry."

"Let me check the mail first, but you two need to go get ready and Chris were going out early so he needs to get up."

"I'll go wake up Chris. Bye!"

She jogged up the stairs then turned to her left and knocked on the door. "Chris wake up!" When no one answered, she opened the door very slowly and peeked inside. "Chris, you need to get up were leaving." She saw the lump of cover's on his bed and crept to the bed. She was so intent on waking Chris up, she did not see him sneak up behind her.

"AAHH!"

They tumbled on the bed, Chris penning her. Chris was the spitting image of Larry. "What were you saying, again?"

"You heard me!"

All of a sudden, Chris's lips had touched Lily's and then they started kissing, but Lily pulled away. "I can't. I'm sorry. I have to go." She pushed him off her, got off the bed, and ran to her room across the hall.

Lily quickly changed out of women's boxers and a t-shirt, and into a white sundress. She opened her door and went downstairs into the kitchen. "Lily, you have some mail here. Did you give anyone our address?"

"No." She did not respond any further she just took the envelope from Larry's hand and opened it.

Miranda and Larry could see the mixed emotions on her face: anger, sadness, and curiosity. She crumbled the letter in her hand, and threw the paper away. Just then Nick came threw the door. "Mom, Dad I'm home is anyone here?"

"Yea in the kitchen son." said Larry.

Nick came into the kitchen but before Miranda or Larry could react to what they had seen on there oldest son, Lily turned around and wrapped her arms around Nick's neck and cried.

Once she was done, she stepped away from Nick and looked up at his face. "I am so sorry Nick."

She turned to Miranda and Larry and said, "I am so sorry. You both have brought me into your nice home, and treated me as part of your family, and know a person from my past is sending me a message."

They did not want to interrupt her but they had to know. "Who's the person and what's the message?" asked Miranda.

"The letter I just threw away has told me that my Grandpa Sam has just died, and Jeremy by beating up Nick has told me that if I don't come to my Grandpa Sam's funeral the people I have ever cared about will be beaten up."

Chris didn't hear the last part because as he was coming down he only saw Lily's arms wrapped around Nick and Nick's left arm around Lily, than he ran back upstairs.

Author's Note 2: I know there isn't much info on either Nick or Chris, but there will be in the next chapter, so I have something I want every one to think about....do you want to see Lily with Nick or Chris??
