Mesy came out just a few minutes later in some of her silk pajamas and crowled into bed next to Nick and smiled at him curling to his side some. "Hi love." she smiled at him lovingly and kissed his neck lightly. "So how was your day?" she asked lightly and brushed her lips along his neck

Nick smiled and closed his eyes, putting the book down, reveling in the feeling of pleasure he got from her lips. "It was wonderful... I was with the people I love most, all day. I'm really tired, though. Strange... any idea why I'm so tired?" he asked, vaguely wondering if he'd been under a lot of stress. When he is, he tends to forget that he is, hence why he can act like nothing's bothering him.

Mesy smiled some. "Maybe you're just really stressed? You might have been worried about thinking too much? Ow well you can relax now... you shouldn't have work tomorrow right? It's satterday tomorrow... then you shouldn't have any work on sunday... do you have a church that you go to? The girls like going to church." she smiled some continuing to run her lips along his neck and jaw line playfully.

"Yeah... I might be stressed... I only have to go in for a little bit tomorrow to turn my report in, it'll take an hour tops. As for church, well... I never really had religion in my life, we can go to church if you'd like, wherever you want. For now, though... why don't we get some sleep, alright?" he suggested, hoping that death wouldn't come around again and get on their cases.

"Okay." Mesy smiled and curled up lightly to Nick cudling close to him and moving so she could kiss him lightly on the lips before sinking back down next to him. "Love ya." she smiled some nuzzling his chest some and closing her eyes to fall asleep also hoping death didn't come up... she had had enough of him.

Nick smiled and watched Mesy sleep for a few moments before leaning over and kissing her gently "I love you too" he whispered tenderly. He wrapped his arms protectively around her and closed his eyes, succumbing to the sleep.

(hm.... what now? Sorry hasn't had a good day and has a headache)

((meh, they're just both asleep. we can either have the dreaded death come and berate nick for talking to elizabeth or we can skip to morning. that's really all you can do when they sleep.

(hm... what do you think about death? Maybe have him say if he slips up again she may loose her vision for awhile? Or something like that?)

(could be... not to mention the irritation nick will feel about being forced out of his peaceful slumber that he desperately needs... it could prove to be interesting. like... elfin powers come to life when he's bugged. he already gets bugged whenever death comes around, add that to the facts that he's been super stressed and tired all day: he'll be ticked.))

(he he he yeah so do you me to start that or you?)

((hmm... either is fine. I think Mesy is more sensitive to Death's presence, since Nick only woke up when she woke him up. So it would make sense for you to start))

(mkay give me a bit though... he could respond first... I mean all you have to say is he woke up to her shaking, or crying, or whatever she doesn't even have to be awake yet... I have some stuff I need to do so whatever you choose if you want me to or if you wouldn't mind that would help me emencely ^^ )

((that's fine))

Nick felt a trembling figure beside him and he was instantly ticked. There was only one thing that did that to her. Nick pried his eyes opened and glared at death. "You again. What now? Can't you go one night without showing up?" he asked. It seemed that a dark aura was coming from him. He didn't notice it since it was blending with death's aura. This was the same aura that showed up when he was younger. He figured it was the physical embodiment of his anger. He wasn't completely sure, though, because he never knew about his elfin heritage. After awhile, he'd figured out that the aura somehow strengthened him, if he were to enter a fight. It was one of the reason's he's still alive.

Mesy was trembling... She was ow too aquainted with this feeling now and was still scared... Though she didn't wake up this time... She was really tired tonight. "Well... I just thought I'd let you know you keep screwing up like you have been and you may just make her go blind... And I know you wouldn't want that for your little lover girl now do you?... I know she doesn't want to go through that hell all the time..." the cruel man grinned darkly to Nick knowing he was getting on the mans nerves.

Nick rolled his eyes "give me a break, I just dealt with the issue, trust me, it's not going to be happening again!" Nick growled, keeping his voice low, partly for Mesy's sake, partly to sound more threatening. "Now why don't you leave before I make you" he demanded.

"I'd love to see you try I really would... Break the deal and you're both dead." death smirked and Mesy shivered seeming to hear that one in her sleep. "I'd just be careful if I were you... I'd be glad that I'm even giving you warnings... I could just not tell you and let you keep making mistakes until you're both dead... But I'm not doing that." he smirked then soon was gone just leaving the over powering darkness.

Nick was in a foul mood and be became aware of his dark aura. He sighed and laid back down, staring at the ceiling. It wouldn't be a good idea to go to sleep now. He caressed Mesy's cheek softly, partly to calm her, partly to calm himself. After awhile, he'd calmed down and relaxed enough to where he could go back to sleep.

Mesy woke up just a bit feeling Nick's light toutch though was soon back out of it curling up to him more wishing she could make him feel better... she could just tell he wasn't in a good mood. the night stretched on after that... long... quiet... mostly peaceful. sometime around 1:30 however the girls came in quietly and crowled into bed one next to Mesy and the other Next to Nick curling up and going to sleep right away.

Nick cracked an eye open, feeling a small body crawl into bed next to him. He flipped slightly and wrapped his arm around his daughter. He kissed her head gently before going back to sleep.

((I say we skip to the morning))

Nick woke up early the next morning, sneaking out of bed. He wanted to get to work early so he could hand in his report and go home. Hopefully his dad wouldn't hold him. Once ready, he smiled tenderly at his family, all in his bed. He grabbed his briefcase and left.

Mesy woke up a bit when she felt that Nick was not longer beside her... though she was soon back to sleep. Later on when Mesy woke up again she went and started make breakfast. It didn't take her long and when she was done she got the girls up so they could eat then went and worked on the house letting the girls do mostly as they wished as she worked on house hold duties for most of the time Nick was gone.

Nick's luck was not with him that morning. His father started talking about thanksgiving. Something about how he should actually come this year. "Your mother has been dying to see you and Elizabeth" his father explained "Elizabeth and I are no longer together. I have a new girlfriend, actually... adopted her daughters" as soon as he said the last phrase, he knew he'd sealed his fate. "Grandchildren! It's about time! That settles it, you're coming for thanksgiving" his father commanded. No point arguing now, it would do no good. Nick sighed and nodded "alright. I'll see you later, then" he agreed and left his father's office. Twenty minutes later, he walked back into his apartment and flopped onto the couch in the front room, groaning. He was not looking forward to thanksgiving.

"Hi love... what's wrong? I thought you'd be happy to be home early for a change." Mesy said as she snaked her arms around his neck and shoulders then sat down next to him and wondered what could posibly be the matter... other then last night though that was last night and it shouldn't bother him so much right now right?

Nick sighed "I haved to go home for thanksgiving... dad--and most likely mom--want to meet the grandkids. I knew I should've kept my mouth shut about them. I probably could've gotten away with it by just mentioning I've got you now, but now. I had to mention I adopted Hena and Heiwa. This will be a blast" he groaned. He was not looking forward to the family. He didn't care if he was legally theirs. He never felt any love from any of his family. His older sister--too busy drinking. His younger brother was the only one that tried. But they were never that close. He definately wasn't looking forward to meeting his family. "At least they'll have someone to play with. My brother has three children, ages 5, 3, and 1" he explained.

"Well... At least that's good... The girls haven't really had many chances to be around other kids their age... And I haven't had a really home cooked thanksgiving dinner in years... Not to mention my parents didn't wanting me eat much so when they thought I had had enough they would just tell me to go and do something and to get out of their sight... This would be a nice change." Mesy smiled some and moved some so she was sitting in Nick's lap and kissed him lightly on the lips hoping to make him feel better.
