*Shelby*

Waking up I heard the faint sound of television. I rolled on my side and saw Nick in the other bed holding a dormit Sean. They looked so adorable together. Nick must of heard the ruffling of the sheets because he quickly glanced over at me.  "Hey. How you feeling?"  "A little better. The headache's gone."  "That's good. Do you want to go to your room or stay here? I need to know, so I can check out of the other room if not."  "Can I stay here?"  "That's perfectly fine with me," he smiled placing Sean on the blanket beside him.  "Are you hunguary? I could order room service."  "No."  "Well, I am, but I'll get you something anyway." He picked up the phone and placed our order.  "Do you think you could get Sean's and my stuff from my room?" I wondered as Nick say to the side of me.  "Sure. I'll get it right now. That okay?" He brushed a few strands of hair from my face.  "Yeah. Thanks."   "Anytime." He grinned and I laughed slightly.  "I'll be back." Nick grabbed the key from the table in the room and walked out.  I closed my eyes again and was interrupted by the ringing of the phone. I crawled out of bed and grabbed my backpack. Sure enough it was mine.  "Hello?" I asked grogily.  "Shelby? You okay?" It was James.  "Yeah. Just have a cold and a hangover."  "Oh. Hope you feel better."  "Thanks."  "I was going to ask if you wanted to go to a movie tonight, but nevermind since you don't feel well."  "I would though if I could. We're in Ashville, North Carolina now," I informed him.  "Oh, well nevermind mind!"  "Sorry. I wouldn't called you and told you, but I've been asleep most of the day."  "It's okay. I could fly up and see if that's okay," James said.  "Um...okay. We'll still be here tomorrow because we have a concert, so sure."  "Okay. I'll scheduale a flight for tomrrow morning." Just then Nick and AJ stepped into the room carrying all of the stuff that was in my hotel room. "All right. Are you just coming one day?"  "Depends."  "What do you mean?" I questioned and Nick gave me a strange look.  "Well, it's just do you want me to stay more then one day?"  "Don't you have law school?"  "I'm dropping out."  "Why?"  "'Cause I wanna be you."  "What made you think I'd feel the same? i mean I kinda do, but if I were you I wouldn't quit," I replied watching Nick place Sean in the portable plastic crib by the couch.  "I don't want to be a lawyer anymore," he told me.  "James..."  "I'll see you tomorrow. Bye."  "No. James I..." The line went dead. "Jackass!" I mumbled under my breathe.  "What's wrong?" Nick wondered.  "Uh...nothing. James is flying out her tomorrow." I never told Nick about the night before. He probably would go balistic. For some reason he was really protective of me.  "Why?" Nick questioned as he sat on the other bed and AJ sat by me.  "Just 'cause."  "So, you feeling any better?" AJ asked wrapping his arm around my shoulders.  "Yeah. My headache's gone."  "That's good."  "But you still need to sleep," Nick told me.  "Yes, Daddy!" I smiled at him and he stood up.  "Excuse me?!" He hovered over me and my eyes traveled up to his.  "You heard me, Daddy!"   "Okay! That's it!" Nick started tickling me and I burst into laughter.  "N...Nick! Stop!" I begged trying to push him away.  "Nope!" I started heaving gasping for beath and Nick immediatly stopped.  "I'm so sorry! Ohmigod! I'm sorry!" Nick apologized as I sat up.  "I'm okay, Nick." I took deep beathes and AJ handed me a glass of water.  "Here."  "Thanks." I took a sip of it and sat the glass on the night stand beside the bed.  "I'm going to go, guys. Hope you feel better, Shel," AJ said standing up and walking to the door.  "Bye. Thanks."  "Bye." AJ shut the door behind him and Nick looked at me.  "What?"  "I'm sorry. I didn't me..." Nick got out before I covered his mouth.  "I'm okay. I'm fine."  "You sure?"  "Yes! For the millionth time!"  "I'm sorry, but if anything happened, I could never forgive myself!"  "Nothing's going to," I said just as there a knock at the door. Nick stood up an strolled to it. A few minutes later the door shut and Nick wheeled the food cart into room.  "Time to eat!" he smiled and sat beside me before we stated eating.
