Claudia woke up to Spencer staring at her, "you don't snore like daddy does." Nickolas woke up just then to Claudia who was laughing at Spencer, he yawned and then turned over to
them, "what are you two laughing at?" Claudia looked at Spencer then turned to Nickolas, "oh nothing, just your snoring." Nickolas sat up against the head board, "I certainly do not
snore." Spencer and Claudia looked at each other again and laughed, "sorry babe, but you do." Claudia curled up to him, "it's okay, I still love you." Nickolas bent down and kissed her, "I
love you too." Spencer now sat up in the bed, "eww!!! I thought I said that was gross the last time you guys did that." They laughed at him and then Nickolas spoke up, "well, Mr. your
going to have to get used to it because we are going to do it a lot more." Spencer looked a little confused, "why?" Nickolas turned to Claudia to make sure she was okay. She looked a bit
nerves to him so he grabbed her hand and continued to explain to Spencer, "Claudia and I are going to get married" He got no response, "Spencer, are you okay with us getting
married?" Spencer looked like he was thinking hard about it and then he turned to Claudia, "will you do things my friends mommies do, like: making play dates, and help daddy tuck me in
at night?" Claudia let out the breathe she was holding in and chuckled a little, "I would love to." Spencer hugged Claudia and then went to play before breakfast. After he left Nickolas
looked down at Claudia, "told you he loved you already."
After breakfast Claudia told Spencer she'd start with her "mommy" duties by taking him to the park. Spencer was upstairs getting his shoes and coat while they where downstairs,
"Claudia please just take the guards." Claudia pulled her coat on, "Nick, we'll be fine. Were just going to the park but if it makes you feel better I'll take ONE of the guards, but only one."
Nickolas was about to protest bit Spencer entered the room, "I'm ready!" Claudia kissed Nickolas bye and grabbed Spencer's hand, "me too." Nickolas knew Claudia didn't want the
guards because Spencer would ask questions but he wished she would take more guards with her. He thought of sending some to fallow her, but thought better of it, she'd know they
were fallowing her in a heartbeat.
Claudia was pushing Spencer on the swings when her phone rang and she picked it up without looking at the caller ID, "Nick, seriously we just left" no answer, "babe, really we're fine,
and we'll be home soon because I haven't forgotten our plans." Then the other person spoke and she wished she looked, "I'm not your precious prince, but if you don't want me to hurt
that little boy you'll turn around and fallow my guard to the car." Claudia grew panic, but not for herself for her children so she picked up Spencer and immediately looked around for an
escape to get Spencer home safe. Spencer was shocked by Claudia's change in attitude, "what's wrong?" She didn't answer because she was still looking for an out, "mommy?!" It's like
that one word made time stop for her, she looked down at him and wrapped him in a hug, "nothing, we're um…just going to make a stop at my old house" Spencer nodded, and smiled up
at her, "then are we going to go meet daddy at kellies because he said I was suppose to keep you away while he went to get your ring." Claudia was going to ask what he meant but a
large man appeared at her right, "Mr. Zaccarah said to bring you to him." Claudia fallowed him and they all got into the nearby waiting car. Anthony didn't like how clingy the prince's kid
was to Claudia, "are you afraid of me, little prince?" Spencer was and it showed as he crawled all the way onto Claudia's lap, "daddy, you wanted to talk to me? Well I'm here, what do
you want?" Spencer was taught to ask questions when he didn't understand so that's what he did, "mommy, this is your daddy?" Claudia loved that Spencer felt so close to her to call her
mom but when he said it this time she winced and prayed Anthony didn't notice. No such luck though Anthony snapped his head at her, "what did this child just call you?!" Claudia was
speechless, but Spencer wasn't even though he was afraid, "Daddy say's yelling isn't nice, so you shouldn't yell at mommy" Anthony just gave an evil looking smile so Spencer continued,
"you'll hurt mommies feelings, and that's not nice to hurt people's feelings because it makes them sad." Anthony lets him finish before he starts, "well aren't you the perfect prince. Tell me
something: why do you keep calling my daughter mommy? You do know she's not your mother right?" That's when Claudia found her voice, "he can call me whatever he wants." Spencer
smiles up at her and then turns back to Anthony, "yep, I can do that because mommy and daddy said their getting married and mommy's going to do all the things my friends mommies
do." Claudia couldn't be angry at him for spilling the news because he said it so proudly. But that didn't stop Anthony, "Claudia, what's this kid talking about?! Why does he think you and
Cassidine are getting married?" He then turns back to Spencer, "I hate to break your heart, wait no I don't. Kid my daughter is not marring your father. She is marring Corinthos, and even
if she wasn't she still wouldn't be marring your father because she does what I tell her, and I won't allow it." That's more than Claudia could take, so she opened the door to leave before
she said something she'd regret in front of Spencer.
After Claudia watched Anthony's car leave she put Spencer down, bought him an ice cream cone, and then brought him to sit on the bench, "I'm sorry Spencer." He stopped licking his ice
cream cone and cocked his head up at her, "what for?" Claudia wished she had that innocence, "nothing, never mind. Hey, how bout we go to the toy shop?" Spence immediately jumped
up and almost dropped his cone, "Yay!" Claudia just smiled at him and again wished she had his innocence, then grabbed his free hand and headed for the toy store. After toy shopping
Spencer noticed they weren't headed to kellies, or home, "mommy where are we going, I thought we were going to lunch?" As soon as Spencer said that she smiled because she
remembered what he said earlier in the car about Nickolas picking up her ring, "don't worry we're going to Kellies, but I thought we'd stop and say hi to your uncle Johnny." Claudia
laughed at his excitement and opened the door to the garage expecting to see Johnny under a car, not face to face with Sonny, "what the hell are you doing here?!" Claudia looked down
at Spencer and he either didn't hear her or didn't seem phased so she turned back to Sonny, "I mean, what are you doing here in my brother's garage?" Sonny smiled at her, "nice save. I
just came to ask your brother his opinion, you know about my car." Claudia wasn't buying it but since she already cursed around Spencer and wasn't sure if he was going to tell Nickolas
she thought it'd be best to leave, so she just turned and left.
By the time they got to Kellies Nickolas was already there and Spencer was the first to spot him, "daddy! We had the biggest adventures today! We went to the park, I met mommies
daddy, (Nickolas looked up at Claudia and gave her an I told you, you needed more guards look then focused back on Spencer) he wasn't very nice. And after he left mommy felt sad and
bought me ice cream, but I don't know why she felt bad, but she then took me to the toy store and that made her not sad. Well until we ran into cousin Sonny at uncle Johnny's garage,
then she said a cause word and we left to come met you here because I knew bringing her here she'd be happy again when you showed her the ring we picked out the other day."
Nickolas laughed at the last part and then got down on one knee facing Claudia, "well, since Spencer already blew my cover I guess now is as good a time as any." She knew what he
was doing but still her heart felt like it was beating as fast as a hummingbirds wings. Nickolas could see the worry, and anticipation in Claudia's eyes and they both just made him more
eager, "Claudia Zaccarah, will you make me probably the happiest, proudest, and ready for any danger thrown my way guy in the world by marring me and completing mine and Spencer's
life?" Claudia wasn't one to get emotional but with the pregnancy and Spencer recently calling her mommy Claudia let a few tears escape, "you know I will Nick." Spencer, and Mike
cheered them on from nearby while Nickolas got up and pulled Claudia into a passionate kiss. Not two minutes into the kiss before Spencer let his presence known, "Eww!!!" Nickolas and
Claudia broke apart laughing at Spencer.
Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long since I've written. I'm in the process of moving so adding new chapters is going to have to revolve around that right now. Sorry, but I'll try every chance I get. In the mean time, I'l love to hear what you guys think (besides some of the grammar mistakes that I've found myself, lol). Till then, tootles! :)
