“Gia, will you please stop that?” Nik said as he looked up at her.

It was the night of their wedding and they had just made love for their second time as man and wife. He watched a nude Gia bounce up and down on the bed above him, and although he was enjoying the view, he feared she would hurt herself, or break the bed.

“I can’t, I’m just so happy. I feel like bouncing on the bed, like I did when I was a kid.” Gia said smiling down at him as she continued to jump. Nikolas had enough and brought his hand out, wrapped it around her leg and pulling it towards him, bringing her tumbling down. Gia’s head hit the bed hard.

“Ouch!” Gia exclaimed as she held her now throbbing head in her hands.

“See you could hurt yourself.” Nik said. Gia glared at him and pinched his arm.

“I wasn’t hurting until you pulled me down.” Gia whined. Nik smiled over at her, as she was now lying next to him on the bed. She looked so beautiful. His body hovered over hers and he kissed down on her lips.

“I’m sorry I hurt your head.” Nik said softly as he looked down at her.

“Forgiven!” Gia exclaimed, pulling him down for a heated kiss. They parted from the kiss and Nik wrapped Gia up in his arms as she rested her head on his chest.

“I never want this to end.” Gia frowned as she felt her eyelids going heavier.

“Me either Sparky, but don’t worry. I’ll figure out a way for you to see me again.” Nik said in her ear. They both gave into their exhaustion and drifted into a deep sleep.

~The next morning~

A tiered Gia and Nikolas stepped out of their hotel room very early in the morning and walked over to the door next to them, knocking lightly when they reached it. Lucky opened the door and he and Courtney came walking out. Gia noted that they looked like they got just as much sleep last night as she and Nik had. Nik grinned over at his sleepy brother.

“Did you have a good time last night?” Nik asked. Lucky smiled back at him.

“Yeah, did you?” Lucky asked, knowing the answer having heard the noises, they were not exactly queit.

Gia smacked Nik’s arm to stop him from saying another word about last night to Lucky. She rolled her eyes at Courtney, who broke into a smile.

The car ride home was a quiet one; Nik drove until they reached the sign that said “Welcome To Port Charles” on it, at witch point Lucky took over. Allowing Nik and Gia time to lay together like they had the way up there. Lucky drove until he reached the Kelly’s parking lot.

“I don’t want to say goodbye.” Gia said as she held onto Nikolas.

“I know Sparky, but soon, I’ll find a way, haven’t I always been able to?” Nik asked. Gia nodded her head sadly.

“I love you Nikolas, always.” Gia whispered as she leaned in and kissed him, soft and slow, wanting to savor the moment.

“I love you too Gia, forever.” Nik said he caressed her face. They both had tears in their eyes as Gia pulled away, slipping on her sunglasses and scooting out the door. She glanced in and weakly smiled at her husband before disappearing from his sight.

Gia and Courtney slipped into the bathroom of Kelly’s and changed into the clothes they had packed, grateful that the diner was practically empty. Both coming out of the bathroom fully dressed and looking refreshed. They located Courtney’s car and headed over the Gia’s cottage. When Gia pushed the door open, they were shocked to find a ton of people there. Gia’s whole family was there, even Taggert. Courtney’s mother Jeanine was also there and they all looked like they were about ready to kill the two of them. “Where the hell have you two been?” Sonny was the first person to ask.

Nik arrived at Wyndemere, not really expecting anyone to be home. He wanted to be alone and he figured his home would be just the place to be for that, seeing as how there were rarely people there. Mrs. Landsbury greeted him but was being unusually quiet. Nik walked into the living room and was shocked to see both his father and his uncle sitting on the couch. “Hello son, I think we need to talk.” Stovros said as he looked up at Nik.
