(A.N.: In the previous chapter I put the name Karen as Andrew's sisters' name but it really is Nancy.)
A month had passed since Andrew had his neck surgery. Nicole was taking good care of him. Zoey was going to school & had made a few friends. Andrew's parents told them that Nancy badly broke her leg. All three sent their best wishes to Nancy & her husband. Andrew liked to stay inside & be on his laptop, once in awhile he would go for a walk Nicole or with Zoey.
"How do you like school Zoey?" Andrew asked on day.
"It's OK." Zoey said, shrugging her shoulders. She then ran up to her bedroom. The phone suddenly rang, Andrew went to get it as Nicole had stepped out & went to the store. It turned to be Nicole's brother Mark.
"Hey Andrew, is Nicki there?" Mark asked.
"No, she went to the store. I can give her a message if you want." Andrew said.
"OK tell her that our mom along with my daughter & myself are coming there in October, that is if it's OK with you." Mark said. (A.N.: October is Canadian Thanksgiving.)
"It'll be alright, I think she misses you as well as Zoey." Andrew said. The two men continued talking then they said their goodbyes. A few minutes later, Nicole came back, Zoey went out to help her mom with the bags that were in the car. After Zoey finished helping her mom, she went to the park.
"Hey sweetie, how are you feeling?" Nicole asked, walking into the livingroom.
"Good, just a little bored, but I'll live. By the way Mark phoned. It seems that he, your mom & his daughter are coming here." Andrew said.
"Oh good, I'll go phone him back in a few." Nicole said, giving Andrew a kiss.
"So you hungry?" Nicole inquired, hearing Zoey coming back in the house.
"Mom, I'm hungry. No one was at the park." Zoey said. Andrew & Nicole both laughed at their daughter, Nicole then went to go fix some supper.
"Your uncle Mark, cousin Angel & grandma Leigh are coming here in October for Thanksgiving." Andrew told his daughter. Zoey smiled at this news. Zoey & Angel were the same age. Zoey was two months older than Angel.
"This is so awesome, I can show Angel everything over here." Zoey said, still smiling. Nicole then called them over to eat. Zoey was too excited to eat, but she ate anyway. Later on Nicole told Zoey to do her homework in her room, but Zoey told Nicole that she didn't have any homework but Zoey went upstairs anyway to have a bath.
"I'll be up there in a second, sweetie." Nicole yelled to her daughter.
"Are you sure your OK with Mark, Angel & my mom being here next month?" Nicole asked Andrew, who was in his reclining chair.
"Yes Nicki, I'm fine with it. Plus it'll be good to see your brother & mom again." Andrew said, smiling at Nicole. Nicole nodded her head & went upstairs to wash her daughter's hair. When they both returned, Andrew was in the mist of watching a re-airing of Raw.
"Man, I wish I was there." Andrew said to himself. When he saw that his daughter & Nicole had returned, he smiled at them. He didn't know that they heard what he said.
"Don't worry babe you'll be back before you know it." Nicole said to Andrew.
It was now October & Nicole had phoned her brother, to see when he, her niece & her mom would be there. He told her that they will be in Florida when Angel gets off school. She so excited to see her mom, brother & niece.
"It'll be fun to see Grandma & Uncle Mark again." Zoey said, as she sat next to Andrew. Andrew was reading the latest Raw magazine.
"So you too are excited huh?" Andrew said, taking his eyes off his magazine. Zoey nodded her head & smiles. She then gave her dad a light hug.
"You know Zoey, even thou Angel will be out of school, doesn't mean you don't go." Nicole said, watching her daughter's smile turn into a frown.
"Don't give that, just because Thanksgiving is a month early, don't mean you can slag off." Nicole said, walking towards the kitchen.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to her." Andrew whispered to his daughter. An hour later, Zoey had went to bed. Nicole & Andrew were in the living room watching some TV.
"You know Nicki, we could tell the school that family from Canada are coming & ask them if it'll alright if Zoey can be out of school for a while. We can also get homework from the stuff she'll miss." Andrew stated, hoping Nicole would say yes or something positive to that effect.
"Well you do make a good argument. I have nothing negative to say to your points, so my answer is yes. I have to phone the school tomorrow to see if it's OK." Nicole said, smiling.
A few weeks had passed & Nicole's mom, brother & her niece were coming to visit her & Zoey. They also were going to meet Andrew for the first time in 9 years, so pretty much everyone was nervous. Nicole had called Zoey's school & told them that some relatives were coming to visit them & asked them to send Zoey's homework. Zoey's school allowed it, making Zoey pretty darn happy. Andrew, Nicole & Zoey then drove to the airport to pick them up. As Andrew couldn't drive, Nicole drove to the airport.
"You think they are here yet?" Zoey asked, as the three made their way to the airport.
"Maybe Miss Zoey, maybe they are sitting somewhere & waiting for us." Andrew said, smiling to his daughter. They walked until Nicole & Zoey spotted them sitting beside the window. Zoey then ran ahead. When her parents joined Zoey, Nicole hugged her mom, her brother & her niece. Andrew just shook their hands.
"I bet you guys are beat?" Nicole asked, as Mark began to load up the bags on the baggage carrier.
"Kind of, we would like to see the house that your now living." Lynda (Nicole's mom) said.
"Well OK let's go then." Andrew said. All six people then left the airport & went back to the house. When they entered the house, they were greeted by Zoey's cat Jada. After the luggage was brought in, Nicole took her mom a tour of the house, while Andrew had a talk with Mark. Zoey showed Angel, her own bedroom. After awhile Nicole & her mom came downstairs.
"You got a beautiful home Andrew. You better not hurt my daughter & grand-daughter." Lynda said.
"Thank you, Nicki mainly redecorated it. And I won't hurt them, Mark even warned me if I do. So between you & Mark I got other people warning me." Andrew said, laughing.
"Yeah don't worry guys, Bret & Chris talked to him, even Trish talked to him. So there are lots of people that care for me & Zoey." Nicole said, making some snacks.
On the last night that Lynda, Mark & Angel had to leave & everyone was getting along great. Andrew, Nicole & Zoey agreed to take Lynda, Mark & Angel out to a very nice restaurant. Andrew knew of a place that they wouldn't be bothered & were they can dress semi-casual.
"This is a wonderful place that you chose Andrew." Lynda said.
"Thanks Lynda, I believe they serve some kind of Turkey dinner, mind you I haven't been here for awhile." Andrew said, smiling to Nicole's mom. So they all ordered their food, while waiting for their food, they began to talk.
"Andrew can I talk to you, outside?" Mark asked.
"Sure thing". Andrew said. Nicole looked at Andrew & Mark & wondered what was going on.
"Your dad would've been so proud of you, Nicki." Lynda said, smiling at her daughter & grand daughter. Zoey was talking with Angel. Nicole's dad passed away from cancer in November of 1995.
"Thanks mom" Nicole said, reaching over to hug her mom. Meanwhile, Mark & Andrew were talking outside the restaurant.
"So do you think, you'll marry Nicki?" Mark asked.
"Well, I am thinking of asking her tonight. You see Trish helped me get one & I couldn't find the right time till tonight." Andrew said, showing Mark the engagement ring.
"Wow, it sure is a nice ring. Now let's go back inside so you can propose to my little sister." Mark said. The guys went back into the restaurant. Once inside they saw Nicole & Lynda talking to the two little girls.
"You guys are back." Nicole said, as she smiled at Andrew & her brother.
"Nicki, I got to ask you something." Andrew said, as her knelt down beside her.
"I know I wasn't around when you were pregnant & had to raise Zoey almost by yourself. I never forgot about you. So with being said, Nicole Anne Jenkins will you be my wife?" Andrew asked, opening up the box where the ring sat. Zoey was hoping her mom would say yes.
"Yes Andrew, I will marry you." Nicole said, as she got all teary eyed, she kissed her now fiancé. Everyone the restaurant clapped for Andrew & Nicole. Zoey went to hug both of her parents. After they had eaten their supper, the six of them went back to the house.
"I am so glad my mom is going to marry my dad." Zoey said to Angela.
"Yeah, that's pretty neat. Did you see the size of the ring? It's gorgeous." Angel said to her cousin
"Yeah, I know. I think Trish helped him pick out the ring." Zoey said, helping Angel pack. After everyone had finished packing, Nicole, Andrew & Zoey took Lynda, Mark & Angel back to the airport. After they said their goodbyes, Lynda, Mark & Angel went to board the plane.
"I am happy that you guys are getting married." Zoey told her parents, once the got back into their SUV.
"So am I sweetie." Nicole said, keeping her eyes on the road.
