I'm so sorry for the wait. This writers block is killing me. I literally had to force this chapter out of me. I' know it's been a while, please review and tell me what you think.

"Nathan!" they both shrieked at the same time.

"In the flesh" he said walking over to the bed and handing the Sara a bouquet or pink roses, "Hey Angel" he said leaning down to wrap her in a hug tight hug.

Stunned to see him for a few seconds, Sara wrapped her arms securely around his neck returning the hug, "Oh Nathan, I've missed you so much, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here on a government mission to kill Oprah and prevent her from taking over the world" he said dryly "What do you think I'm doing her, I got your message last night and hopped on the first available flight."

"I'm so happy that you're here!" Sara squealed finally letting go of his neck, allowing him to stand up.

"So am I, but I couldn't pass up a chance to meet my new niece. I stopped by the nursery and saw her, she's beautiful Angel. Just like her Uncle Nathan."

"Oh shut up Nathan" Sara said slapping his arm, "she doesn't look anything like you; you're not even technically related."

"Ouch, low blow Angel that hurt. And she does to, she has my eyes."

"Nope, your eyes might be green but her eyes scream Mark through and through."

"Yeah yeah, spoil my fun." Just then a nurse came in bringing Sara her lunch. "Oh, this just looks so appetizing" Sara said looking at the tray full of mush, after the nurse had left.

"Eww, that's just wrong" Nathan said poking at the 'food' with the plastic fork, "You want me to go get you something?"

"No that's alright; I'm not that hungry anyways." Sara shot Christy a look that meant 'why the hell aren't you saying anything'.

Nathan noticed Sara's look, he realized he was being rude and it wasn't her fault he was taking his frustrations out on her. He would at least try to be civil to Christy while he was there. He turned towards her, "Hi Christy."

"Hi Nathan, um congrats on your win" she replied with a small smile. 'At least he talking to me' she thought.

"Thanks".

Christy didn't want the conversation to end just yet, this would probably be the last time she even got to see him let alone talk to him for a long time. "So, how long are you staying?" she asked as an attempt to prolong the conversation.

"Just a week."

"Oh, um where are you staying?"

"Well I'm gonna shack up with my favorite Angel" he said turning towards Sara.

Sara was hoping for a better interaction between the two but at least that was something. Maybe if they were alone together it'd help. "Of course you are, somebody has to baby-sit while I go the gym and get this baby weight off. I'm sure you and Christy can handle it." "Well that's not gonna happen so stop" said Nathan.

"Yeah whatever I was joking anyway, uh Nathan I change my mind about that food, I'm kinda hungry now, could you go get it?"

"Yeah sure, what do you want?"

"Anything more edible than this hospital food, and take Christy with you."

Nathan glared at Sara; he had a feeling she was up to something, "And why do I have to take her?"

Well so much for a civil visit Sara thought, "Well neither of us have eaten anything since last night and I'm sure Christy's hungry, right Christy?" Sara glancing at Christy.

"Um, yeah I am pretty hungry" said Christy hoping he'd let her go with him so they could talk some more.

Nathan sighed; he wanted to scream 'No, No, No, you can't come with me, stop pushing this dammit, I don't want to talk to you, be around you, I don't even want to look at you!' but instead said, "Alright" as he walked out the door.

"Christy, please try to find out what's going on with him, I hate having my two best friends fighting and barely talking to each other." "I'll try my best, bye Sar." Christy said running out the door to catch up with Nathan.

Sara lie in bed watching as Christy ran out of the room trying to catch up with Nathan, part of the reason she wanted Christy to leave as well was because she had made a decision, regarding Taker. Sara picked up the phone and dialed Taker's cell. Ring Ring, his voice mail came on, Sara was partly relieved that she didn't have to talk to him directly but a little disappointed that she couldn't just blurt it out and hang up in his face. "Taker, it's Sara, could you please give me a call when you can, it's really important, bye." As Sara placed the phone back on the hook she started to feel bad suddenly and she knew why, telling him something like that needed to be done in person not over the phone, but she didn't know if she could face the one person she loved more than life itself and tell him she'd been keeping a secret from him, especially one as big as Jade, she knew she'd have to decide soon if she could face him and tell him. But for now she decided that sleep was what she needed as she rolled over and fell asleep.

"So, what do you want to eat?" Nathan asked as they were in the car.

"Um, wherever you want is fine" replied Christy. She couldn't help sneaking glances at him; he looked great, maybe even better, less stressed. She was honestly happy for him, she just wished she knew what had happened to ruin their friendship, and hopefully they'd be able to repair it.

"So, how has it been in Australia so far?"

"Good."

"Are you staying with your dad?"

"No."

"How is he doing?"

"Good."

"Well when you see him tell him I said hi."

"Okay."

Christy was getting frustrated by these one-word answers she was getting, but at least he was being civil, maybe it was time to get to the point. "Nathan."

"Hmm?"

"I've missed you." "Mm hmm."

"I wish we could have talked more before you left, maybe things would be better between us if we had."

"Mm hmm."

"Nathan."

"Hmm?"

God he wasn't even giving her straight answers anymore! "Nathan."

"Hmm?"

"Goddammit Nathan, talk to me!"

"What!?" He said finally looking her way for the first time the entire ride.

"Please talk to me."

"I am talking to you, what more do you want!?"

"How about actually speaking to me using words."

"Fine."

"Nathan, what happened?" Christy asked desperately trying to gets some answers.

"Things."

"What things?"

"Just things."

"Nathan please" she said with a sigh "just talk to me straight, what happened to make you hate me so much, what'd I do?"

"I don't hate you" he said turning into the drive through at McDonalds, "I love you."

I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Don't forget to review:)
