I own nothing. Short chapter. Enjoy!

"Greg," Nick said as I drove, "How is Angel doing?"

"She's fast asleep," I said smiling.

"Good," he said nodding.

Looking back at Angel I saw her cuddling with Zero. Angel seemed to be having a very good dream. I hated it when she had a nightmare, which sadly happened a lot. I hated my baby being so sad.

It was sad that half the time Angel had more nightmares about the lab explosion than I did. Not only did she have nightmares from the explosion, but she also has what her mother did.

Angel was such a smart and sweet girl. None of what happened to her was right. Then of course there was her thinking her smarts were such a bad thing and that she'd never have friends.

I knew kids could be mean, but I didn't think they'd be this mean to my daughter. Angel always got along better with people older then her, but that wasn't a good thing when it came to love.

I didn't want Angel to fall in love with someone that was years older then her. I know most parents were afraid when their kids started to bring potential lovers home, but that's what I wanted for my baby.

Love was something that I wanted for my family no matter what. Angel deserved the love and happiness with someone that was her own age. I loved Nick and I was happy with Nick. I wanted that for my daughter.

"Nick," I said turning to look at him.

"What's wrong?" Nick and sparing a glance at me.

"Angel," I said sadly.

"What's wrong with Angel?" he asked slowly.

"I want her to find love," I said biting my lip.

"So do I," he said confused.

"She doesn't even have one friend," I said shaking my head, "Why are kids so mean?"

"Because they want to be as smart as her," he said taking my hand in his, "And don't worry. Angel with get some friends and she will fall in love."

"How do you know?" I asked looking out the window.

"I just do," he said squeezing my hand, "I know she will be happy. Trust me."

"I love you," I said smiling.

"I love you too," he said turning into a parking lot.

Looking at the clock I saw that it was about midnight. I let out a yawn and picked Angel up from the backseat. Nick got us a room and then got Zero. There were two beds next to each other.

I rested Angel on one of the beds and Zero jumped next to her and cuddled into her. Angel smiled in her sleep and wrapped her arms around Zero. Zero licked Angel's cheek and fell asleep.

Laughing silently I turned around only to have Nick's arms wrap around my waist. Kissing his lips gently I buried my head in his neck and let him just whisper into my ear, saying how happy he was.

Kicking my shoes off I climbed into bed and shut my eyes. Nick got in next to me a few seconds later and pulling me to him. I rested my head on his shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

When I awoke I was alone in the room except for Zero. Zero had moved so she was cuddling into me. I smiled and pet her head as she stared at me. I got out of bed and looked around for Angel and Nick.

I found Angel and Nick playing outside. It was cloudy and looked like a storm was coming. Nick was smiling down as Angel tried to do a cartwheel. When she found she couldn't she looked so sad.

Nick hugged Angel and said something to her. Angel nodded her head and tried to do it again. This time Nick moved so he was shadowing her movements to help when he needed to.

A smile fell on my face as I watched the two of them interact. Angel laughed as she fell and brought Nick down with her. Nick joined her laughter and he picked Angel up.

"Daddy Nick," Angel yelled as he started to tickle her.

Nick just laughed more and set her down on her feet. I leaned against the door frame and petted Zero's head as she came up to me. I motioned for Zero to go and play with Angel and Nick.

"Daddy," Angel said when she saw Zero, "You're awake."

"Yup," I said hugging her, "Are we getting food then?"

"Yeah," Nick said smiling, "Angel and I already took a shower. Go and I'll go get the food."

I nodded my head and hugged both of them once more before going in the room with Zero. Nick and Angel got in the car and left the parking lot with a wave. This road trip was turning to be pretty amazing.
