Confessions
Chapter 32
Nope, still not mine
"Nicolas?" a soft voice asked, a hand caressing the side of his sleeping face.
North started awake. "Katherine?" he asked, taking her hand in his and kissing the back of it.
Katherine giggled, "Your beard tickles Nicky."
North's face broke out in a huge grin. Only Katherine called him Nicky. "You're back! You really are back!" North said, pulling Katherine into his lap and giving ter a long, passion filled kiss.
Katherine pulled back after a few minutes, gasping for breath. She had a grin matching North's on her face. "I missed you so much Nicky," Katherine said, nestling her head in the crook of his neck.
"I missed you too Kitty," North said, useing his old pet name for her.
"Nicolas, is everything okay?" Ombric asked, entering the room.
"Everything is perfect Ombric," North responded, looking up at his former mentor.
"Hi Ombric," Katherine said, looking up at her adoptive father.
"Oh, you're finally awake Katherine," Ombric said, standing next to the two and running a hand through Katherine's hair. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine Ombric. Is Nightlight here?" Katherine asked, standing up from North's lap and straightening her night gown.
"He's here. Somewhere," Ombric said, looking behind him, "I could have sworn he was right behind me."
North laughed. "He probally went to find Jack and Aster to work on the plan."
Katherine perked up, "Jack is here?" she asked, looking up at North. "Can I meet him?"
"Of course you can. He's been dying to meet you ever since he found out you were his mother. You should get dressed first," North said, leading Katherine to the wardrobe that stood in the corner of the room.
Katherine nodded and shooed the men out of the room so she could get dressed. She was finally going to meet her little boy.
