He had waited for Nicole to come find him in her apartment in the Tower. He expected her to come back to see what was taking him so long. But, once he decided to go find her instead, he found out everyone had left already. He missed the flight to Boston. After contemplating getting on the next plane, another thought formed in his mind. For the past couple of weeks, he had been planning. Now, it was time to set the plan in motion. After over a day of driving with a hotel stay and a few rest stops in between, he finally arrived in Boston. It had been a couple of weeks since he had even shared a conversation with Nicole, let alone seen her. It took almost a half hour to get to her father's house where she was staying due to the tremendous amount of traffic. His truck shut off in front of the place as he parked it. He kept his eyes on the door as he got out of the vehicle. He slowly began making his way for the front door. Just as he stepped onto the front porch, it opened up.

A very tall man steps out of the door. The man name is Marcus Raymond and he works as co trainer in the wrestling school of Mr. Storm. He looks at the man in front of him and raise an hand to greet him.
Hello, what can I do for you?

He accepts the handshake, grasping the hand offered firmly and giving it a single shake. He looks into the man's eyes before him as he speaks.
I'm looking for Nicole Storm. I really need to speak with her. Is she here?
He takes a moment to pause, realizing that he had forgotten to greet himself.
Ah, excuse me. My name is Michael Taylor. I'm not sure if she has said anything about me to you or not. But, if I could speak with her soon it would be fantastic.

She is the kitchen with Denise. Just enter the house and the 2nd room to the right side. I would show it to you, but I am already late so if you excuse me. Goodbye.
Marcus said and continues his walk over to his car.

Thanks.
He steps to the side, allowing Marcus to pass by him. He gives him a nod before entering the house. He makes the short trip to the kitchen. He pushed the door open and there they were. Mother and daughter beside each other, both of their backs turned to him. He hopes it would be a nice surprise for them both to see him there. He slowly walks over to them, placing a hand on Nicole's shoulder once he reaches the pair. He could feel the shock run through her as she felt the touch, unaware someone else was in the room. He waited for her to turn around, a small grin on his face the whole time.

[glow=green,2,300]What?[/glow]
Nicole says as she turns around as she feels somebody touching her back. Her eyes widen in surprise as she sees Michael standing behind her.
[glow=green,2,300]Michael?

His smile widens as he sees her face. He had missed her dearly over the past couple of weeks. He wraps his arms around her lower back, looking into her eyes as he pulled her closer.
Hey.
He wanted to kiss her badly right now. But, he restrained himself as he waited for her to speak. She must have questions as to where he's been or where he was when they left for the airport. He knew he had some explaining to do. He was ready to do so as well. He kept his eyes locked on hers, squeezing her a little tighter, a little closer to him, enjoying the moment he had thought about over and over again since she left.

Nicole says and lays her hands on his shoulders. She is still shocked from the surprise of his appearance here in Boston.

Now that I'm here, everything is great. I've missed you baby.
He looks over to Denise, smiling at the sight of her as well.
I've missed you as well Denise.
He turns his attention back to Nicole, locking his eyes back on hers.
So much.

He holds her tightly as they embrace. It was one of those moments where you never wanted to let go. He breathed a heavy sigh of relief, happy to have her back in his arms again. He turned his head slightly, whispering in her ear.
I have something in my truck that you need to see.

Michael slowly let go of the hug, still keeping his arms around her but pulling away. She seemed to be in complete shock. Was she that surprised to see him? He wasn't sure. He pulled her back in for another hug, squeezing her tightly and kissing her cheek. He began to speak again, a hint of worry in his voice.
Are you alright Nikki? Something bothering you? You know you can tell me.

He smiles back, happy to see that she wasn't angry with him for disappearing for a few weeks. He takes one of her hands in his before looking over at Denise.
Denise honey, could you go find grandpa and have him watch you while mommy and I leave for a moment?
She nods excitedly several times, running off to go find her grandfather. Michael turns his attention back to Nicole once Denise is gone.
Come with me. I have something to show you.
He nods his head towards the door and slowly begins walking that way. Nicole follows him closely, their hands still clasped together as they make their way through the front door to go outside. After a short walk to his truck, he digs his keys out. He opens the glovebox and pulls out a manilla folder containing a few documents. He holds it out for Nicole to take from him, talking to her as he waits for her to accept the papers.
It's the results for the blood test with Denise and myself. I haven't looked at it yet. I wanted us to see it together. That's one of the main reasons I stayed behind. The doctor gave me a call on my way to the airport and told me the results would be in a few days later. So, when they arrived I went and picked them up. I did a few other things as well, ran some errands that needed taken care of. But, this is the big thing. I want you to open it and read it. It will effect all of us, but I just feel it's right that you do it.
He keeps the folder held out, waiting for her to accept while taking a deep breath. They were all about to undergo a life changing event no matter what the results are. He was doing his best to prepare himself for better and for worst.

Nicole takes the folder out of his hand and stares down at it. Should she really open it? Does she really want to know if Michael is Denise fathers? Does she really want it to know? ... Is it even important after all?
A quick look up follows as she looks Michael in the eyes. He looks to be happy and the tension seams to kill him. Closing her eyes again ... Nicole breath in and out deeply while she tries to figure out what she should do. Open it and everything change ... her whole life ... the whole existents of both of them. If Mike is the father it would mean ... that he was not a good father as he left her alone when she really needed his help and support. On the other side if he isn’t the father it means that it would break his heart.
Staring down at the folder, Nikki shakes her head and speaks....
[glow=green,2,300]I can’t do it....[/glow]

He wraps his arms around her, kissing her on the forehead as he pulls her in tightly.
It's alright, Nikki. You can do it. I know things will change a lot no matter the results. But, life is all about taking risks. We both took a big risk when we got back together, especially you.
He lets her go, using a hand to raise her chin up to look at him. He places his hands on her shoulders, rubbing up and down her arms slowly as he looked into her eyes.
I promise you Nicole, whether Denise is my daughter or not, I will always be here for both of you. But, I still need to know if she is my daughter. I need to know for me.
He stands there quiet for a few moments, still gently rubbing up and down her arms. He keeps his eyes on hers as they stand silently out in front of the house beside his truck. After what seemed to be an eternity, he finally took another big breath before speaking up again.
Please Nicole? After all we have been through and this entire process of trying to find out if I am the father, let's not waste all that effort when we are so close now. Please, open the folder. It means a lot.
He wasn't frowning, but he wasn't smiling either. He kept a straight face, but deep down he was worried for Nicole and for himself. If she opened it and found out the results, how would it effect their relationship? He wasn't sure, but he felt he needed to know the results of the test. It was indeed a big risk, but it was one that needed to be taken. He waited for her to make a decision, not rushing her any further. It was a lot of pressure to handle, so he was giving her the time she needed to gather herself. This was her decision to make. He let her go, taking a step back as he begins to wait patiently for her to make a choice.
