Christine went upstairs and knocked on Nikki's door and went in slowly seeing Nikki curled up in a ball not crying but thinking. Christine came and sat down next to her.
"I'm sorry you had to see that"
"Don't worry" Nikki mumbled
"You know even after everything I'm here if you need to talk about anything, im not your mum I know but im the closest thing" Christine said "I take it you and james have been having discussions?"
"Yeah…he was really up for it and seemed caring about my decision now I just don't know"
"His a man Nikki all they think about is sex"
Nikki sighed "Christine look I'll put you in the picture, im worried about it ive only ever been with women"
"oh I see…well its okay, I mean me and your dad were okay and at our age we could put a hip out" Christine smiled
Nikki smiled back "And ive decided that if we are going to become sexually active then I want to go on the pill…but then with alcohol I cant have it and that's where im worried."
"Nikki look I was an alcoholic…a major one at that where my eldest son had to drive me home, I know what your going through and I know its hard and this is just more fuel for the fire I know, but if you love each other then its good"
Nikki listened and nodded at the end "I just feel like im going to fail at everything"
"You won't…your be good at everything I promise, your dad is and im sure you will be too"
"thankyou"
"Whenever you need to talk let me know ill be here to listen"
"thanks chrisitne"
Christine smiled and went back downstairs "I suggest you go up there and give her a reassuring cuddle"
James nodded going upstairs and going in
"Nik, I'm sorry" James said wrapping his arms around her
"Im sorry I stormed off…I just…we discussed this you know how I feel"
"I know I shouldn't of said that"
"I love you James" Nikki said
"I love you more" He said kissing her
