Monroe opens the door to a raven haired man. The Blutbad tilts his head to the side and says, "Uh, hey Nick. New case or something?" Nick raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"Ah, no. I was just looking for Quinn. I was hoping to get more insight on what's going on, now that I'm both sober and less confused," he replied.
"Oh, I'm sorry man, I forgot to call and tell you," Monroe exclaimed, instantly feeling the guilt wash over him. Nick's face showed his worry as he asked,"Is everything alright?"
Monroe nodded and moved out of the way, letting Nick step into the house. The Grimm shut the door behind him and turned his attention back to Monroe, who was clearly stalling. He kept his eyes on him, waiting for an explanation of some sort.
Monroe sighed and finally said, "Ok, well Rosalee is back early." Nick interrupted him, a huge smile on the Grimm's face as he cried, "That's great! Go get Quinn and let's head to the shop. You haven't gone and gotten yourself attached to her, have you?"
Grimacing, Monroe replied, "No, that's the thing Nick. Quinn and I went to the store this morning. We found the right antidote. She's already been sent home." Monroe realized he'd done something wrong when he looked over at Nick.
Nick felt like someone had just thrown a boulder at his stomach. The smile had dropped from his face and a look of hurt crossed it instead. "How, could you? How could you just send my daughter off without even giving me so much as a phone call?"
"Look, Nick." Monroe tried to reason. "There were thr-two people in this situation. Quinn was really homesick. I just figured, the sooner she could get home, the better, you know?"
"But I didn't get to say goodbye," Nick said quietly. Then, Nick blinked and frowned. He looked over at Monroe and asked, "Were you about to say three people?"
Monroe laughed the comment off, saying "You're always dragging me into your random cases now, Nick. I almost included myself in this situation as well."
"But," Nick said. "You were a part of this as well." Monroe froze for a moment, not sure of what to think. Nick continue, "I mean, Quinn did run to you when she got here." Nick chuckled a little before voicing his next thought out loud.
"Funny, huh? I drag you into my problems, and she dragged you into her's. like father, like daughter." Monroe gave a dry laugh, covering up his relief. He had seriously thought Nick had figured out who Quinn's other father was already. Monroe didn't mind that he was going to be with Nick in the future, but he needed to sort these thoughts out for himself.
"So, I guess I'll see you next week? Juliette and I are going on a sort of mini vacation," Nick said.
Monroe nodded, saying, "I'll probably be helping Rosalee set up shop. If you need anything try the shop's phone first." Nick nodded, and headed out the door after Monroe opened it for him.
I had some ideas written down, but my stupid cat ate them before I had a chance to type them up. Don't worry, I still know where I'm going with this.
