"What about…Liam?"
Emily lay on the couch with a blanket covering her nine-month-pregnant-belly and a baby name book that Elizabeth had given her,
Nikolas was over at his desk doing paper work, wishing he was lying there on the couch with his wife, fighting about what to name their baby.
Emily looked back at him with brightness in her eyes and the most magnificent smile Nikolas had ever seen. It made him melt.
"So?" Nikolas sucked in his cheeks, as if he had just sucked on a lemon. Emily just giggled and turned back to her book, skimming through more names, making little 'Hmm' noises and jotting them down on her baby name list.
'She's so beautiful' Nikolas thought to himself. He then started thinking about how he had ever left her, and the day they found their way back to each other…It was their first anniversary. Elizabeth had set them up to meet at Wyndemere. They talked for hours, about memories, the future, and then it just…. Happened, they realized they were meant to be with one another, and loved each other more than anything.
Courtney left when Nikolas told her, that he and Emily had gotten back together, and hasn't seen her since, which is probably for the best.
"Nikolas?" He had gotten lost in his thoughts. He sometimes can't believe he and Emily are back to the way they used to be. Happy as ever.
Nikolas looked up "Yeah" he responded as though he had just been woken up from a nap.
"Are you alright? You seemed a little far away".
"That's because I am too far away" He got up and started making his way to the couch, and plopped himself next to her, put his arm around her, kissed her on the forehead, and followed along with her list of names for the baby. She gave him her gorgeous smile, that he loved.
"No more working for today?" Nikolas shook his head.
"No more".
Next: Emily goes into labor.
