"Remember me? From the party? Is Nikolas here? Its rather important." The person said looking at her.
"Oh yeah you- wait no that wasnt you that was somebody else." Carly said placing her finger on her mouth.
"Oh you are Nikolas's uncle? Cousin? Friend? Which one?" Carly said knowing it was one of those.
"Im Stefan his uncle. Is he here?" He said rather impatient.
"Why whats so important?" Carly asked curiously.
"His future and title are at stake and I need to talk to him." Stefan answered her.
"What are you talking about? I thought he was a wine maker? Oh wait thats what he told Court okay so what does he do since Courtney never told me!" Carly said looking at her.
"I will tell you anything and everything you want to know if you tell me if he is here and if he is go get him!" Stefan said looking at Carly who looked at him.
"Okay. You can come in." Carly said opening the door wider as Sonny looked at her strange.
"I'll be right back." Carly said to Sonny and Stefan as she walked up the steps.
"Daddy!" A little voice said.
"Oh hey baby. Your awake." Sonny said looking at his little girl.
"Yes and is Aunt Courtie up yet?" Kristina asked putting her hand on her hip.
"Not yet why?" Sonny asked her as she rolled her eyes.
"Because she was suppose to let me sleep with her and her cute baby and I was in my own bed this morning!" She exclaimed with a huff.
"Cute baby? Aunt Courtie dont have a baby." Sonny said looking at her.
"Well thats what she called him and he was cute." Krissy said looking at her dad as he laughed.
"I take it that would be Nikolas huh?" Stefan said as Carly came back into the room.
"Yea." Carly answered as she sat down.
"Is he coming?" Sonny asked Carly.
"Yeah. Gotta give him a moment. He wants to talk to Courtney." Carly said looking at Sonny.
"For what!" Sonny exclaimed.
"Well gee I dont know. He just got here late last night so they didn't talk that long and I think he has explaining to do." Carly said looking at Sonny.
"Okay so tell me whats going on." Carly said looking at Stefan.
"Nikolas is a prince." Stefan answered as footsteps came down the steps.
"Like a prince like Prince William?" Carly asked him.
"Yes except of Greece." Stefan answered as two people entered the room.
"Can me and my nephew have a few moments alone?" Stefan asked feeling kinda awkward.
"Sure lets go Sonny." Carly said standing up before Sonny could objected.
"Im going to go in the kitchen." Courtney said softly as Nikolas's grip on her hand got tighter.
"No." he simply said as it was only him, Courtney and Stefan in the room now.
"Yes!" Courtney exclaimed.
"Its important and its family business so let me go." Courtney said looking at him.
"I only came down to talk to my uncle because you said you would stay with me." Nikolas replied.
"You're staying or Im leaving." Nikolas finished as she let out a huff.
"Fine." Courtney said as she stood their beside him.
"Nikolas I dont know if its in Courtney's best interest if she's here." Stefan said looking at him.
"I dont care. She stays." Nikolas said as they walked over to the couch and sat as Stefan sat back down in the chair.
"Whats so important?" Nikolas asked his uncle.
"Listen I know you know how it all works and basically you dont get a thing of your inheritance not even from your father if you arent the prince." Stefan began saying.
"Wait what?" Courtney asked confused.
"Why wouldnt Nikolas not be the prince?" She finished.
"I will tell you later." Nikolas said looking at her.
"No! Tell me now!" Courtney demanded looking at him.
"The rule or whatever you want to call it says I have to marry Emily and Im not so Im not the prince and I dont get my inheritance anymore." Nikolas said looking at her.
"Then just marry Emily." Courtney told him.
"No!" Nikolas exclaimed not even believing she suggest that.
"Why you can get a divorce!" Courtney said back to him.
"Okay Courtney there is something you need to understand. Once I marry I cant get a divorce if Im prince and not only that but within two years I have to have a heir or a child." Nikolas said looking at her.
"And Im not marrying Emily. Im marrying you and having kids with you." he said as she felt her heart melt.
It was sweet but she wouldnt allow herself to do it.
"No Nikolas. You need to do what is best for you." Courtney said not being able to look at him.
"What does that mean?" He asked her.
"I dont want you not to get your title and your inheritance and if that means I have to give you up then so be it." Courtney said holding back tears as Stefan just watched.
"Courtney no! Dont even say that." Nikolas began pleading.
"I mean it." Courtney said looking at him.
"No you dont! I dont care about none of that and neither should you." Nikolas said placing his hands on her face.
She just looked into his brown eyes as he looked into her blue ones.
"I meant it when I said it. I love you and I want to marry you." he said softly.
"And I love you too and want to marry you but I cant." Courtney said looking at him.
"What do you mean you cant?" he asked her.
"I cant live my life knowing you gave up everything just to be with me." Courtney said looking at him.
"I can and I dont want to live my life knowing I didn't and I lost you for it." he said looking at her.
She wasnt sure what to do or say for that fact.
She simply stood up and began walking out as he stood up and grabbed her hand.
"Courtney." he said softly.
"I cant do this with you! Will you just go?" She asked him in the nicest way she could which wasnt very nice.
"No." he simply said.
"I have nothing left to say to you." she said as she walked away.
He looked up.
Things were going swell before Stefan showed up.
"Nikolas why do you have to be so difficult about things?" Stefan asked him.
"Why must you always ruin my life?" Nikolas asked him back.
"Im not ruining your life. If you give up everything you will be ruining it." Stefan said looking at him.
"Your right. It is my life and I'll do as I please." Nikolas said as he walked out of the room.
Stefan just closed his eyes as he sat back down.
He hated making decisions for Nikolas but once and a while it was called for.
"Okay so whats going on? Where is everybody?" Carly asked walking into the room.
"Long story short. If Nikolas wants to remain prince he has to come back to Greece and marry Emily and have a child in two years." Stefan said looking at Carly.
"Ooo." Was all she could say.
"Yeah and while one of them agrees the other one doesn't." He finished.
"Courtney is the one to agree isnt she?" Carly asked afraid of the answer.
"Yup." he simply answered.
"Go figure." Carly said softly.
"Dont get me wrong. If things were different I would be all for them but things arent and I dont want Nikolas to throw everything away." Stefan said looking at Carly.
"Mmm I dont know. Maybe there is something we can do!" She said as the light bulb went off inside her head.
"What? The law is the law." Stefan said looking at her.
"Well for every law theres another one that backs it up in a different way so if we find that law then who knows! Maybe its better!" Carly said as Stefan looked at her.
"She always have ideas and most the time they are stupid but sometimes they work. Im in." A voice said walking the room.
