That same morning.
Nick woke up. He put his hand on Dana's bare shoulder. She turned over.
"Dana, Alexa is up." he mumbled "I think I have a hangover."
"No one asked you to drink a bottle the whole unopened bottle of Grey Goose."
"Good Stuff." he said with a smile.
"I'm sure it was." she said as she got out of the bed.
"Hey, have you ever had dog food ?"
"No, I haven't and I'm never planning to."
"You should, good stuff that is. If you mix the coco puff looking things with vodka, you'll be pleased."
"You are insane." she walked out of the room.
"Fine leave me!" he yelled after her
Dana entered Alexa bedroom. Alexa was in bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Mommy!" Alexa yelled with an excited tone.
"Hey, babe." Dana took her out of the crib. "Why are you up so early?"
"I had a bad dream. Can I sleep in your bed? "
"No. I was just gonna come to wake you." she explained "I have to be at work in one hour, and you have to get ready to do your grandmother's house."
"DANA" Nick yelled "Come here, Right now!"
"Start getting ready." she said and left Alexa's room and entered her own.
"My mom, just called. You can't take Alex over there today."
"Why not? "
"My Dad's not going to work."
"So?"
"My dad doesn't know about us, Dana. He doesn't know we're married, that we have a kid. He doesn't know that my mom watches our kid. He can't find out."
"We've been together for six years. How doesn he not know? "
"The thinks I'm a priest, Dana."
"Priests don't get hangovers, Nick." she said sarcasticly
"OBGYN's should know their pregnant before they go into labour, Dana." he replied withthe same sarcasim
"That was one time, five years ago."
"He thinks Alexa is my sister's kid." he said, trying to change the topic.
"I can't take her to work with me. A three surgeries back to back. "
"Niether can I. No one at that hospital knows about our relashenship except for Lu, Peter and Lana. And everyone already knows of Alexa as your kid, so I can't take her." he explained
"Give me the phone." she said, the handed it to her. She dialed the number and sat on the bed next to him.
"Yeah." Nick's father, Lerenzo answered
"Hi, Mr. Biancavilla. Can I talk to Lenore, please."
"Who's this.? " he asked
"I'm Hilda Abdalson, from your wife's book club." she lied
"Oh, okay. Hold on." he put her on hold. Nick looked into Dana's eyes with a huge smile on his face.
"Shut up you idiot, I'm about to strangle you." she said as his mother ansered the phone.
"Dana?" she said
"Hey, Lenore. Why doesn't Lerenzo know that Nick and I are married ?"
"He think he's a priest. And we can't tell him he's not."
"Why not? "
"You know how Italains are famous for the mob? Well let's just say Lernzo has friends. And if's his friends find out that we've been lying for almost 10 years, you, me and Nick will have hits out on us. Tell you what I'll come pick her up from the hospital, in one hour." she said and hung up.
"You never told me your father was involved with the mob." she said "What exactly does he do ?"
"He's a contractor and a painter."
"Okay." she said with her eyebrows raised "And why are you a priest."
"My grandfather told my father, on his death bed: 'Your little boy is sent form God. He has to do what he was born to do.'
So my father set his mind, I was to be a preist."
"Your family isen't even religous."
"My grandfather was."
"When was the last time you went to a church? " she asked
"Our wedding." he answered
"You have to tell him. If you don't I am."
"You tell him then I'll tell Robert. If Robert finds out he'll fire you."
"Fine! I won't tell. But you owe me."
"No, I don't, I put a 20,000,000 dollar roof over your head, a 120,000 dollar car under your ass, and two priceless children."
"You mean the 20,000,000 house that my father bought with a 50 down payment, the 120,000 dollar car that I pay for, and the two child that we currently have one of. You sure did give me what every girl wants."
"Okay, I bought you a 4,000 dollar cell phone. Your dad didn't pay 50, you didn't pay, and it's not split in half."
"Nick what is this conversation leading to?"
"I don't know... I thought for once since the abduction your mind would focus on something else."
"I'm gonna be late for work."
"Ya know, I havn't seen you in a lagiria in a while."
"Priests don't care to see woman in nerglzias." she said sarcasticly and left.
That night while Dana was at work Nick was home, with Alexa. They were playing Candyland togther, when the phone rang. He reached over and answered it.
"Hello?" he said
"Hi, Nicholas." Dana's mother
"Hey, Annabell."
"What's going on?"
"Nothing, Alexa and I are playing Candyland."
"Is Dana home?" she asked
"No, she's at work."
"Has she gotten over Jessica yet?"
"She can't get over Jessica. She says she's fine, but when you look into her eyes you can tell something is wrong."
"Erza and I wanted to come to Philedephia for a week, however we aren't sure that she would want us to."
"She would. She's not exactly in depression, she would ignore you guys. She's just somewat preocupied now. These two years she kinda kept all her emotions and all this anger inside. Now she kinda exploded. She's always yelling, most of the time she looks like she could kill me."
"She's taking all that anger out on you?"
"Annable, it's fine. I don't mind. If it makes her feel any better let her do it. She has to move on."
"Nick, she's not going to move on. She had Jessica the exact minute she turned 20. She couldn't do what other 20 year olds where doing because of her baby. She was able to manage work, raise a baby, and stay a decint wife. She work so hard to balance her life, and when Jess was take everything she worked to accomplished was destroyed. She can't forget, and she won't."
"I don't undersatnd how women think!" he exclaimed
"You're not suppose to. It's what makes life fun."
Nick speed down the street, and stopped at a red light. He was seconds away form being late. And he and Dana were racing, last one at work had to buy dinner that night. As he was waiting for the light to turn green he looked to his left. Alittle girl, about five was looking at him for the car nest to him. She looked in amazment, with the feeling that she knew that man. She had no idea that the man she's looking at is her father. She'd had amnesia a year back and couldn't remeber anything from her past.
It had only been two years since she was taken from Nick and Dana
