Thanx u guys 4 the reviews! I'm feel like updating another chapter so here it is!
Chapter 18
A day with Danny was really tiring. First they went to the mall and Nick bought a bunchof stuff for Danny. He couldn't stop jumping up and down the aisle. Then they went to the playground and have ice-cream. They had a blast. Finally it was time to go home. Danny and Nick were so tired they just slept on the couch while waiting for Sara.
Sara arrived home after shift. She was actually not sure if it was wise to let Nick babysit Danny. She didn't want Danny to find out the truth. She knew it was cruel but it was for his own good. Maybe she will tell him someday.
Sara walked into the living room and saw the sight she had been dreaming about. Nick was sleeping on the couch and Danny laid on his chest. Nick's arms were protectively wrapped around Danny. Danny's thumb was in his mouth and there was a little saliva at the corner of his mouth. Sara just smiled at the two loves of her life.
"Sara, you're back," said Nick waking up.
"Yeah, I just got back."
Nick moved a little and that made Danny to stir and wake up. He started to sob.
"Mommy," asked Danny.
"I'm right here, baby," said Sara walking over to him and Nick.
"I'm sleepy."
"Okay, let's go to your room." Sara lifted him off of Nick and brought him to his room. Nick followed and leaned on the doorway. Sara put him on the bed and kissed him on the forehead.
"Sweet dreams, honey, I love you," said Sara turning on his night light.
"Mmmm," answered Danny. He was really beat.
Sara walked out of his room with Nick and they headed for the kitchen.
"You want a drink," asked Sara.
"Sure."
Sara took out a can of iced tea and gave it to him. Nick just smiled because Sara still remembered his favorite drink.
"Thanks."
"Was he any trouble," asked Sara.
"Not really, but it was a little hard to control him at the toy's shop."
"You brought him to the mall?"
"Yeah, I bought some toys for him," said Nick.
"Nick, he has a lot of toys, don't waste your money."
"Sara, it's the least I can do, I've been neglecting him for years, he deserves so much more from me."
"Nick, you didn't neglect him. It's my fault, I didn't tell you."
"How about we stop blaming ourselves and make this the best week of my life," suggested Nick smiling.
"I could do that," replied Sara. Nick's smile was contagious because she could feel a smile forming on her face.
"Great." Nick smiled back. He finished the iced tea and dumped it into the trashcan.
"You have that seminar today right," asked Sara.
"Yeah, it's the last day, after today I'm a free man, and Sara you don't have to send him to the daycare, I'll babysit him."
"Are you sure? It's not like you have to just because he's your son," said Sara.
"I want to."
"Okay."
"I think I'm gonna head for the hotel, I need some rest, for the seminar."
Nick and Sara went over to the door.
"You want a ride," asked Sara.
"Nah, it's okay, I'll grab a cab, besides Danny's alone."
"Okay, bye," said Sara.
"Bye Sara."
Sara shut the door and headed for her room. She laid down on the bed and hugged the pillow tightly. Actually, she didn't want Nick to leave. She wanted him to be with Danny and her forever. If only things were that easy.
Nick finally finished his seminar. He was a free man and he was going to spend the next few days with Danny and Sara. But he knew he couldn't replace those 5 years since Sara left. He had missed out on so much. If only he could turn back time, he would never have made that horrible mistake.
"Nick, what are you doing here, Danny's not back from school yet," said Sara. She was surprised to see Nick at her door early in the morning. She was getting ready to go to work when he arrived.
"I know, but I came early so we could get ready."
"For what," asked Sara, curious.
"Are you gonna let me in or are we just gonna talk here?"
"Oh, sorry, come in," said Sara sheepishly.
"So, I'm planning to take Danny to the zoo," said Nick taking a seat on the couch.
"That's great."
"Actually I came early because I want you to come with us."
"Nick, I'm working."
"I know, but can't you take a day off? I bet you've already maxed out o overtime," said Nick.
"That was the old Sara, the no-social, maxed out on overtime Sara, now the new Sara work is second , Danny's first," said Sara.
"All the more reason you should come with us, I bet Danny's gonna be thrilled," said Nick. He wasn't giving up. He was going to make Sara go with him and Danny.
"You just want me to go because of you not Danny, right," asked Sara smiling.
"Well, that's partly it."
"Alright, alright, I'll go, but I have to call Ken first," said Sara giving up. She didn't know how the man did it but she just couldn't say no to him.
"Great!."
Sara called Ken to ask for a day off. Fortunately, it wasn't that busy, besides Sara still have some vacation time saved up in case she wanted to go somewhere with Danny.
"So, what are we gonna do now? Danny's not going to back for a couple of hours," asked Nick.
"I don't know, maybe we could watch a movie," suggested Sara.
"Sure."
They had a little trouble choosing a movie because as usual, Nick wanted to watch an action movie but Sara wanted to watch a comedy But finally they agreed to watch 'Titanic'. It was a good movie, so they just went with it.
"This movie never fails me to make me cry," said Sara at the beginning of the movie.
"Awww, how touching," teased Nick.
Sara swatted his arm and rolled her eyes at Nick. She was trying to be mad but her smile gave her away. They were seated side by side on the couch and that made it a little hard for them to concentrate on the movie. Sara could just make out with him right there but she had to control herself. She could feel Nick snaking his arm behind of her shoulder, she decided just to let him because she kind of liked it.
Finally the movie ended and Sara was sobbing with a box of tissue on her lap. During the movie they unconsciously slowly moved to each other and Sara leaned her head on his chest. They were so comfortable they didn't notice this.
"Sara, you okay," asked Nick.
"Yeah, it's the movie, really sad," said Sara turning to Nick. That was when she realized their lips were just inches apart. They wee leaning in slowly when…
"Oh my god! Danny," said Sara looking at her watch.
"What," asked Nick.
"He's still at his kindergarten, I forgot toget him," said Sara standing up.
"Okay, let's go," said Nick.
