Nick smirks bringing his Ute to a stop as he glances over to Tess asleep he smiles placing a kiss on her cheek "Tess beautiful where home."

She lets out a small sigh before opening her eyes "Is Charlotte asleep?"

Nick nods checking the back seat "Out like a light."

Tess nods "Can you grab her and I'll get her bag."

Nick nods as they both climb from the car "Remind me again how we got roped into looking after the little munchkin?"

Tess giggles "She wanted a sleep over and you know I can't say no to her besides it'll be good practice."

Nick nods taking the little girl into his arms "I do love her though."

Tess nods "Well you better."

Nick nods as Tess unlocks the front door "What's big bad aunty Tess gonna do if I didn't?"

Tess smiles "Bash you up."

Nick nods following Tess through the house to his spare room "Ooh I'm shaking in my boots."

Tess giggles "You better be, will it be warmer in here or the lounge room?"

Nick smiles "Tess she'll be fine in here, its right next to our room."

Tess nods pulling back the blankets as Nick placed Charlotte into the bed "Can you grab her giraffey and lambkins from het bag?"

Nick smiles taking the teddies from the little girls bag as Tess tucked her up in bed "Love you sweetie, we'll see you in the morning."

Nick smirks as they both place a kiss on the little girls head before exiting the room.

Tess smiles cuddling into Nicks strong embrace as she climbs into bed "Hey I've been thinking maybe we can go over to your Mum and Dad's for lunch and spill the news."

Nick nods placing a kiss on her cheek "Ok, Tess I just want you to know, no matter what Mum says or does I will always love you and this little miracle."

Tess nods with a small smirk as he cups both his hands on her belly she felt safe and secure in his embrace, she felt loved and cared for like nothing could separate her from this happiness as a thousand goose bumps would rise onto her skin and her mind would become a bubbling mess as he was near or take her into his strong embrace, she knew it was love and she knew it would last "Ok, I love you too."

Nick smirks placing a small kiss on the top of her head before they both fell into a dreamless sleep.

She lets out a small sigh before opening her eyes to two sets of gorgeous innocent eyes she smiles as Nick places a small kiss on her cheek "Morning beautiful."

She giggles as her niece scrunches up her face in disgust "Eew."

Tess giggles sitting up in bed as she tickles her niece "What's my cheeky little chicken want for brekkie?"

Charlotte giggles pushing her aunts hands away "Aunty Tess, stop please."

Tess smiles pulling her niece into a cuddle "Ok sorry sweetie, now what's for brekkie?"

Charlotte smirks turning to her uncle "Uncle Nick, can you please make your two favourite girls pancakes for brekkie?"

Nick smirks down at the little girls shining face "Yes of course I can."

Tess giggles as he climbs from the bed "Marshmallow."

Nick shakes his head before exiting the room.
