Roman was the first one out the office and up the stairs, Mark with Glen ran behind. Seth, Dean and the twins followed behind Glen. Her shouts of protest sounded through the hallway, and then she was screaming, screaming out from someone to please help her. Roman opened the door and ran into the room, he didn't spot anyone but he could see a thrashing Nicky. Her red hair was sticking to her face, she kicked the covers off, trashing her hands around and pleading out for help. Roman ran over to the bed shaking her awake.
"Nicky, your fine it's just a dream wake up." Nicky eyes were still closed and tears were falling down her face. Roman kept shaking her repeating to wake up it's just a dream. When her eyes came open they were stricken with fear, she couldn't remember where she was until she saw Roman and everyone in her room. Roman crushed her into his chest while she hugged him whispering that she was safe. She was breathing heavily and tears were going down her face.
"She coming Roman, I can't hide from her. She's going to hurt you all of you then she's going to kill me." Nicky said her voice filled with so much fear.
"No, baby she's doesn't even know where we are she's not going to hurt you. You're safe." Mark tried to reason before Nicky pushed away from Roman.
"No dad, we are not safe she's coming after all of us! She's going to kills us all. She's going to take away all the people I care about one by one till she gets me. She only wants me." Nicky sobbed the last part, Glen kind of pushed everyone else out the room leaving only Nicky, Roman and Mark.
Mark walked over to the bed that Nicky was sobbing on, Roman looked defeated and Mark was attempting. She had her hands on her face, crying her eyes out her red hair framing her face.
"Nicky…"Mark put a soothing hand on her back she only shook it off, Mark looked at Roman nodding in his direction. Roman came closer to the red head before he slowly took her hands from her crying eyes, she looked up at him as his warm hands held hers. He kissed his tears softly, before embracing her.
Roman gave Mark the thumbs up, sitting on the bed.
"She's going to kill me isn't she?" Nicky mumbled, pulling away from Roman hug looking between her father and Roman.
"No baby girl, she wouldn't get close to you. Remember she doesn't know about this house." Mark said brushing away some of her hair away to see her tear stained face.
"You said that about the last house and the twins were taken." She mumbled again.
"Yeah babe, but we are all together now. She can't hurt us if we are all together." Roman said squeezing her hands lightly.
"What makes you guys so sure we are going to be okay together?" she asked her mind thinking of the horrible scenarios in her dreams.
"We will always protect you Nicky. No matter what it is." Nicky looked up to her father.
"I don't want any of you all hurt just because of me." Mark smiled his kid has a big heart for sure.
"Nicky, not matter what people are going to fight for you whether you like it or not. You have many people that love and wants to keep you safe. They really don't care if they get hurt they just care about keeping you safe." Mark said to his little girl that nodded, to him.
"Besides, your boyfriend over here willing to take forte shoots from both Glen and I if he breaks your heart. Let alone if he doesn't keep you safe well, he won't be safe himself." Mark jokes Nicky rolled her eyes before sighing.
"Dad please tell me you…"
"Right after dinner darling." He smirked, Nicky groaned and Roman laughed.
"Don't worry babe, I was fine with it." Roman said kissing her hand, she smiled to him.
"Which one did he show you?" She asked.
"The whole Case." Mark said proudly Nicky glared him before turning to Roman raising her eyebrow. He chuckled.
"He used the Rifle, hun."
"Daddy!" Nicky yelled, Mark raised his hand like it wasn't his fault.
"Hey, I least I gave a fair warning." She rolled her eyes mumbling over protective father.
"Speaking of after Dinner." Mark laughed, even through the years he could never doubt Nicky was his.
"It's wrapped up in the fridge, waiting for you." Nicky didn't think twice she let go of Roman hands and was down the stairs and in the kitchen.
"You think she will be alright?" Roman asked, Mark sighed running his hands over his face.
"With time, yes. But the best we can do is keep her happy. Did you find what we were talking about earlier?" Roman nodded his head smiling, thinking about the certain thing.
"Good that should make everything better." Mark said getting off the bed opening the door he paused looking over his shoulder.
"You still up for that beer?" Roman smirked and nodded following Nicky father for a beer.
