�Just another one to add to your collection from me. I don�t know what you�re going to do with them all, but we can find something. We could build ya a couple shelves so you can sit them out or we could sign them and auction them off for NCOC or whatever you prefer. It doesn�t matter to me. I�ll leave it up to you.� He caressed her face as a nurse walked in.
�There�s a phone call for you, Mr. Carter.�
�Who is it?�
�Kevin.�
�Just tell him the doc said I can use my cell phone if he wants to call that.�
�Ok.� The nurse walked out.
�Perhaps he found something on how to help you more. I wish somebody would, because I can�t. I looked in every book and on every internet site, but I found nothing. I even talked to a bunch of doctors and got nothing. I even tried everything I could think of and you still haven�t responded yet. I wish you would, because I don�t know what to do anymore. I miss you, Sweets. I�d love to have my wife back again.� His phone rang and he got it out. �Nick here.�
�Hey, little brother,� came Kevin�s voice.
�Hey. What�s up?�
�Well, I wasn�t sure if I should call ya or not with the news, but you do have a right to know.�
�I think I know what it is.�
�Yes, Venus just gave birth.�
�Congratulations.� He looked at Sunshine as she rolled onto her side.
�Two girls and a boy; Serena Rose, Dakota Rae, and Kyle MacKenzie.�
�What happened to Morgan Rose?�
�V liked Serena Rose better so that�s what we went with. It was a last minute thing.�
�Right. I�m happy for ya.� And he was; more than he knew. �You�ll be a great dad.�
�So will you.�
�If I ever get that chance.�
�You will. Ya just have to have faith and know that God does answer prayers.�
�Ya sound like Brian.�
�He�s my cousin.�
�Yeah I know.� They both gave a slight chuckle. �Congrats again.�
�Thanks.�
�You�re welcome.� Nickolas took Sunshine�s hand and looked at her. �Hey, give Venus my best and give the triplets a kiss from me and Sunnie.�
�Will do.�
�Alright.�
�I�ll see ya in a few days.�
�Yeah.�
�Later.�
�Bye.� Nickolas turned off the phone and put it in his pocket as he looked at Sunshine. He took a quick glance at his watch and sighed. �It looked like I have to soon head out, Sweets. I really don�t want to, but I�ll be back tomorrow morning like always. I just wish that one night when I leave you�ll be coming with me.�
He kissed her hand, as she said, �Nicky.�
�Sunnie.� She squeezed his hand and gave a little grin. �You do know I�m here.�
�I want to go home.�
�I know you do and you will. I promise.� He hugged her.
�I love you.�
�I love you too.� They held onto each other tight and didn�t let go.

�Hey, Baby,� Brian said joining Danielle in Adrianna�s room. �That was Nick on the phone.�
�This late?� Danielle said.
�He said Sunn came around and she wants to go home.�
�Really?�
�Yeah, you had to hear the excitement in his voice. Hell, I was happy. I think I was just as excited as him.� They laughed. �I haven�t heard that much excitement in his voice for a long time.�
�I�m glad for them.�
�So am I. Sunn wants him to stay with her for the night and he�s going to talk it over with the doctor.�
He should stay, because they both need each other right now.�
�That they do.� Danielle nodded and Brian gave Adrianna a kiss. He and Danielle walked from Adrianna�s room and to their own. �I think you should know that Nick knows we�re going to have another baby.� Danielle looked at her husband. �Alex told him about he and Destiny and I just thought it�d be the right thing to do if I told him about us also.�
�How�d he take it?�
�Alright, but I think deep down he was hurting.�
�I would be too.� He nodded. �Did he tell Sunn?�
�If he did I don�t think it would have registered any.�
�I guess you�re right. She�s been through a lot lately.�
�Yes she has and Nick�s been beside her constantly.�
�Well he�s proving to everyone how much he does love her. If he didn�t then he wouldn�t have talked ya out of post-poning the tour so he could stay with her.�
�We all knew how much she needs him and it wouldn�t be right to go on without him.�
�It was the right decision.� Brian nodded. �Brian, I want you to know I was never thinking about getting an abortion. I wouldn�t be able to live with myself if I did. I was just upset over the whole Sunn and Nick thing. I didn�t understand how we could go on our second child when they can�t even have one for the sake of Sunnie Jo. I still don�t understand why God won�t let them.�
�None of us do, Baby.� He hugged her. �They�ll be able to have children one day though.�
�If Sunn can never have any. I want to be a surrogate for them.�
�I�m sure they�ll appreciate it.�
�But will you be ok with it?�
�Yeah; if I was able to carry their children I would. I think it�s nice and sweet of you.� He kissed her. �That�s one of the many reasons why I love you.�
�And I love you.� They kissed again.
