After finding herself in
Victors arms she realized that what she had was just a terrible
dream and that it really never happened. But it was so vivid she
asked Victor what happened after they made their way downstairs.
"Victor, do you remember anything weird happening last
night?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"Well I had
this weird dream that- - -"
"That what?"
"That
I was still married to Jack and I had his child, but you came and -
and you killed Jack and threw me to the ground, causing me togo into
labour. "
"Now Nikki why would I do something like that,
you must have been dreaming. You and Jack haven't been an item for
almost six years now, and you know I wouldn't try to hurt you like
that."
"I know Victor, I know it jsut felt so
real."
"Well, nothing to worry about."
Victor
kissed Nikki on the forehead and left for work. When he arrived at
work a farmiliar face was sitting in his desk. It was Diane
Jeinkins.
"Victor, how are you?"
"Diane what the
hell are you doing in my office?"
"Oh you know Victor
just coming to see my favourite business man."
"What do
you want?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?, Diane
Jeinkins never wants nothing. What are you up too woman?"
Meanwhile Nikki was
visited at home by Catherine, her long time friend. Catherine came by
to see how she was they hadn't talked in quite a while.
"Ahh
Nikki darling how are you?"
"I'm fine Catherine and
yourself?"
"Oh same old you know, Jill at my throat, me
at hers"
"Catherine will you two ever stop?"
"No
I don't think so"
"Catherine can I tell you
something?"
"Odf course Nikki what are friends
for?"
"Well I had this rather odd dream last night. It
had to do with Jack."
"Jack, Jack Abbot?"
"Yes,
anyways I was pregnant with his child and Victor and him got in this
terrible fight and he, he died and because of all the stress I ended
up giving birth to his child."
"Really, and you say
Victor cause all this?"
"Unfortunately"
"Maybe
you and Jack will get back together, maybe you two will have another
crack at it"
"Oh Cahterine, don't say that. You know
that I love Victor and I wouldn't want anything in the world to
change between us."
"I know Nikki but some things
happen for a reason."
"Your right, I shouldn't lose
sleep over it."
"No you shouldn't. Say lets go to Gina's
for some brunch"
"Oh no thank-you Catherine"
"Are
you sure?"
"Yes, but thank you for asking"
"Ok,
well I'll talk to you later"
"Ok, buh-bye
Catherine"
"Good-bye Nikki"
After Catherine leaves
Nikki decides to go and visit Jack but when she is on her way in Jill
is coming out of his office.
'knock knock'
"Come
in!"
"Nikki, hey what a surprise I was just thinking
about you. Hows life with the moustache? Interesting I bet."
Jack chuckles to himself.
"It's just fine Jack, and I didn't
come here to talk about Victor I--"
"You didn't?"
"No
I came here to talk about you"
"Me? What'd I do
now?"
"Nothing, I just had this odd dream that involed
you"
"Really, what about?"
"About when I
was pregnant with our child.."
"Oh Nikki do we have to
drag this up?"
"No, I Just thought you might want to
hear me out"
"Well on that subject, no thanks!"
"Sorry
if I bothered your little confrontation with Jill"
"What
confrontation, Jill and I were talking business"
"Not
what it looked like to me when she was fixing her shirt, are you two
sleeping together?"
"Whats it to you what were doing
together."
"It's nothing I was only asking a simple
question"
"Yeah well I'm telling you its none of your
business so bud out!"
"Fine I will"
"Thank
you, anything else you wish to talk about I've got a busy day
ahead"
"No, I'll leave you be. Bye Jack"
"Good-bye
Nikki"
Nikki leaves Jabot without any answers and knows that talking to Jack about children is hard for him but she needs answers. But instead of going for further investigation Nikki decides to go home.
Back at his offcie Victor
and Diane are into a very heavy conversation about what they could of
had when she storms out. Diane has never wanted someone so much in
her life. Victor was her dream boy and she couldn't have him which
made her very angry. So in her devious mind she decided to make a
plan to get at Nikki, to make her leave Victor and pine for some
other unfortunate soul. Diane decided to contact her dear old good
friend Micheal Baldwin.
"Hi Micheal?, it's Diane. yeah could
you meet me at your offfice say fifteen minutes? ok thanks"
Not too much later Diane
and Micheal are confrencing about whats going to happen.
"Aww
Diane c'mon, he's gonna know you were up to it. You can't dot it.
You'll go to jail for sure" states Micheal.
"Please
Micheal, if I cover up my tracks well enough I doubt anything will
happen."
"I'm not helping you Diane, If you get
yourself into trouble its your own fault and I aint getting you out
of it"
"Oh Micheal don't be like that, it's jus a friend
helping a friend thats all."
"Huh, forget it, now
amscrea!"
"So much for you help!"
"GOOD-BYE
Diane!"
Diane leaves Micheals office in a huff and realizes
that she is by herslef in this one. It is about 5:30 when Diane
reaches the main house .
"Ok Diane this is it. Hit her or
your done! only one shot it shouldn't be to hard, it is only Nikki
after all."
Diane watches Nikki through a window and figures
out that the only way she'll be able to get to her is from the back
of hte house where she can't see her. Diane quickly moves her way
around the house. She waits about ten minutes before she can get in.
Diane sets herself up behind the counter in the kitchen and waits for
Nikki to come in. About an hour passes by when she hears the front
door open and some quiet converstation.
"How was your day
Victor?"
"It was alright, I got a visit from that wicked
woman Diane Jeinkins"
"What did she want from you this
time?"
"Same as always"
"Oh I see"
Diane waits and waits
while the two carry on quite a lengthy conversation. It isn't until
Victor Decides he wants somethign to drink that Diane really gets
herself ready but before he can come into the kitchen the door bell
rings, Its Micheal.
"Micheal, what are you doing
here?"
"Trying to save your wife."
"What do
you mean save my wife, my wife is fine noe if you could leave
please."
"No, no Victor you don't understand your wife
is in trouble"
"Nonsense Mr. Baldwin leave my property
this instant!"
Without a word Micheal
starts to leave and hears a terrible scream. He jets it form his car
and into the main house Diane sprawled over Nikki and Victor laying
beside her. Micheal immediately begins to freak out calls and
ambulane and removes Diane form Nikki.
It is not Nikki who has
been shot, nor Victor.. it was Diane herself. Nikki cry's
uncontrollably at her unconscious husbands side while Micheal try to
aid Diane. Micheal asks Nikki what happened so she tells him.
"Well Diane must have
been in the kitchen waiting and Miguel called us for dinner and I
went in first and Victor Followed, she tried to shoot Victor and well
she barely missed the first time he fell and knocked his head on the
table. Then it was me against her. I Was able to turn things around
but then she hit the gun out of my hand and when it hit the floor it
went off and it hit her in the stomach.Then on her way down Diane she
tired to grab me and it worked. She pulled me donw with her, thats
how she ended on top of me."
"oh geze Nikki I'm sorry,I
tried to stop her bu --"
"But what?"
"She
wouldn't listen and neither would Victor."
"Don't
apologize, its not your fault, you tried"
"Good, the
ambulance is here,you stay with Victor, try to wake him up"
"Ok"
When
the ambulance came in they took out the deceased Diane Jeinkins and
were attempting to wake up Victor. The police shortly arrived later
and when they were talking to Nikki and Micheal it looked like Nikki
could be getting charged with Murder. Nikki thought to herself this
couldn't be, she could and would never commit such a crime. Not too
shortly after Nikki rolled over in her bed, the clock said 3:01. She
thought to herself, this can't be happening and goes downstairs to
find herslef in Victors Pent House.
