They knocked on the door while he held the baby in the carrier on his arm. She knocked again. And again until the door finally opened. "Hey you guys!" Lucky said when he opened the door. "Hey. Where's Nathan at?" Courtney asked. "Um around here somewhere. Come on in." He said letting them in. "When did you get in?" He asked his brother. "Late last night." He replied as he sat on the couch beside his wife. "Let me go get Liz along with the boys." Lucky said as he left the room.

The baby started getting fussy and Nikolas picked her up. "Here's her bottle." Courtney said passing it to him. "Thanks." he said as he heard voices behind him. "Guess who's here!" Lucky said as they made their way into the living room. "Who?" Nathan and Cameron asked in unison. "Guess." Lucky said stopping the boys and Liz who had a sleeping baby in her hands. "My mommy?" Nathan asked. "Yeah and who else?" Lucky asked. "Sissy." Nathan responded. "And?" Lucky asked. "Twinkie?" That was the puppy they just got a few days ago. "No." Lucky said. "Who then?" Nathan asked impatiently.

Lucky looked at him. "Whats taking them so long?" Nikolas asked. "I don't know." Courtney responded as she just looked at him who looked back at her. "I love you." He said "I love you too." She said as she gave him a kiss. "Go find out." Lucky said stepping out of the way. "Daddy!" Nathan screeched as Courtney and Nikolas broke away. "Hey little guy." Nikolas said as he passed Natalie to Courtney. "I missed you!" Nikolas said picking him up and putting him on his lap.

"I missed you too. Don't ever leave again like that. It was hard taking care of mommy and sissy." Nathan said as he wrapped his hands around Nikolas's neck. The adults just laughed. "Yeah I know but I see you did a good job for me." Nikolas said back to him. "Really?" Nathan asked. "Yes. You did a wonderful job actually." Nikolas told him as Nathan just smiled at him. "Thanks dad!" Nathan said back.

They stayed at Lucky and Liz's just a little while longer before heading home. Once home Natalie went down for her usual nap while Courtney, Nathan and Nikolas sat on the couch looking threw some photos. "Who's that?" Nathan asked as he pointed to a person in the picture that was standing beside his mother and father. "I don't know who that is." Nikolas said. "Its actually one of your daddy's business associate that came to our wedding." She said as she shot a look at Nikolas. "Really?" He asked. "Yes really Nikolas." She said back to him as there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Courtney said. "No sit. I'll get it just incase." Nikolas said as he stood up.

"Guess who came to visit us." Nikolas said as he made his way back into the living room. "Who?" Courtney asked curiously. "Your brother." Nikolas said as he sat down beside Courtney on the couch. "I have a brother?" Nathan asked. "No mommy's brother." Nikolas said to the little boy as Sonny sat down on the chair. "Came alone?" Courtney asked. "Yeah. Carly was getting on my last nerve. She was going to come with me but I couldn't wait for her any longer to fool around." Sonny said. "Okay. Well you sound like you're here more on business or news then just a visit." Courtney said worried. "Well thats because I am." He said as Courtney and Nikolas just looked at each other.

"Okay. Shoot. What is it?" Courtney asked impatiently. "Well I don't want to do it in front of my best friend over there." Sonny said as he looked at Nathan who wasn't paying him any attention. "Nathan can you take the pictures over there at daddy's desk for mommy?" Courtney asked. "Yes.' Nathan said as he picked up one of the containers that had pictures in it. "Okay so what is it?" Nikolas asked. "Well Helena escaped." Sonny said. "Really?" Nikolas asked surprise. "Shut up! You know you already knew." Courtney said looking at Nikolas who didn't say a thing. "Yeah but what you probably don't know is that Emily isnt with her." Sonny said

"What do you mean Emily isnt with her?" Nikolas asked. "Yeah. Emily is somewhere in the states now. She has been spotted by people that I know and they informed me." Sonny said. "Okay." Courtney said as she was interrupted by a little boy. "Hey Uncle Sonny look what I got!" He said as he made his way over to where Sonny was sitting. "What do you got?" Sonny asked him. "A picture of you and mommy." He said as he passed the picture to his uncle. "Oh yeah. This is old." Sonny said as he began laughing.

"Let me see." Nikolas said. Sonny passed the picture to Nikolas who laughed once he saw it. "We can tell it's old." He said as he continued to laugh. "Hey!" Courtney said. "Well I mean come on Sonny has a fro looking hairdo going on and you, well baby, you look like a twig. There isnt a thing you have that you have now." He said looking at her then the picture and back again. "Hey!" She said ."Well it's the truth. I still love you though." He said as he smiled at her.

Sonny stayed and talked a little bit longer before he headed home. It was later that night and Courtney and Nikolas was laying in bed just talking. "Hey baby?" He said softly as his head laid on her shoulder. "Yes?" She said back to him. "Are you asleep?" He asked her. "No. Im talking to you aren't I?" She asked him. "Just making sure." He said. She rolled over to where she could see him. They connected eyes but just sat there looking at each other. "Do you know what to day is?" He asked her. She looked at him with a curious face. Today wasn't there anniversary. That was Sunday. Its was one o'clock in the morning on Saturday.

"No what?" She thought for sure he was going to say their anniversary. "Today would mark two years since I seen your beautiful face on the pier." He said as she just smiled. "You thought I was going to say anniversary didn't you?" He asked her. "Actually yes I did." She replied as she just smiled. "Now why would I forget our one year?" He asked her. "I don't know." She said. "God. I can not believe that it has been one year. This past year went by so fast and it felt like we've been married for many years." She said.

"Yeah and you made it that way." He said looking at her. "How did I make it that way?" She asked. "Baby I meant in a good way. Not bad." He said back to her. She just smiled at him. "You lie so badly!" She said before giving him a kiss. He pulled away a moment later. "I know but you still love me." He said as he pulled her into a kiss this time. She pulled away. "I'll always love you but I dont always like you." She said. "That feeling is mutual." He said back to her as she smiled and they begankissing once again.
