“Okay everybody, the burgers aren’t quite done, so it will be just a little bit longer.” Nate replied as he walked from the kitchen where Greg, Joanie, Kevin, Lindsay, Sarah, Nick sat around playing cards while Billy and Jason sat close by coloring although every few minutes they’d run over and help someone out with which cards to discard.
“Sis do you have any 3’s?” Kevin wondered watching her. “Go Fish” Nick watched her for a second then with a grin replied, “Baby don’t lie to him like that! Give him the 3’s.” Sarah shot Nick a look and with a sigh she passed her brother the cards he’d asked for.
“I’m gonna get you for that.” Sarah remarked. “Really?” he questioned. She nodded, “You owe me for that Nick.” “What?” he asked. Everybody waited to see what she would say. Looking at him, seriously, she continued, “A kiss.” She said even as Kevin chuckled.
“Well come here.” He answered using his finger to motion her over. With a sly smile she walked over and when she leaned down where he could reach her he slowly wrapped his fingers in her shirt and pulled her mouth to his. Although the kiss looked like a simple kiss between a husband and wife it in reality was a kiss that sent Sarah’s senses reeling.
“He really does love Sarah.” Joanie whispered as Greg rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand. “Yeah he does, it seems to radiate from them.”
Nick broke the kiss, he smiled at her as he whispered, “I love you; we'll continue this later.”
“Same here Adams, but that doesn’t mean I had to give up my 3’s geez.” He laughed as she sat back down.
“I’m going to go get a drink, anybody want anything?” Nick asked. Everyone was fine but Sarah looked up and he nodded.
Carefully he stood and made sure he could balance then carefully stepped away from the couch and went to the kitchen.
“Sarah, why’s he not wearing shoes?” Joanie asked looking at her. “Because shoes are starting to bother him, so anytime he doesn’t have to wear them he doesn’t.” she answered. “Is the pain bad when he does?” Kevin asked. “No, not at first it just seems to be if he has to wear them for a really long period of time.”
“Nate.” He called from the kitchen, “You might want to check the burgers.” “Okay coming.” Nate replied, jumping up just as Nick came back in the family room.
“Here ya go, baby.” He said passing her the drink as he sat down. “Thanks.” She mumbled looking at her cards trying to decide.
Back at the house everyone was in an intense round of Go Fish when the doorbell rang Lindsay, who had stopped to help the boys, answered the door and let Aubree, Jack & Nick’s dad Ted in just as Nate said, “NO Fair, Greg.”
They smiled just as Nick looked up. When he saw them he stopped and the three of them went to him leaning down and kissing his cheek. “Glad you guys could make it” he replied as he put his cards down and slowly tried to get to his feet. “Come with me & we’ll get you some drinks.” His family followed him into the kitchen. “You doing okay son?” His dad asked watching him get their drinks. Nick looked at his dad for a minute smiling then went back to fixing the drinks, “I have my good days, my days' dad. I also talked with Alyssa and Daniel today, she called to check on me, and to see how Sarah and the boys were. I filled her in us and everyone then we talked for awhile longer; she told how things were going in London, mom she also wanted me to remind you about the pictures.” Aubree nodded, "Right, they're still in my purse, I'll show you an--"
“Sorry everyone I need to check on the burgers.” Nate remarked as he walked in the kitchen. “Not a problem.” Nick said placing a hand on his father-in-law’s shoulder as he brought the drinks to his parents and brother. “As a matter of fact those burgers smell great.” Ted said, going to where Nate stood. As the men talked food everyone else moved back to the family room.
About five minutes later everyone heard “Guys, the burgers are done.” Nate call from the kitchen. As Sarah walked in she saw Nick grimace in pain so she knelt in font of him. “Where honey?”
“My legs.” Nick said softly. She slowly placed a small amount of pressure on his leg as she began to rub. Everyone kept up the conversation except Jack who was behind Sarah watching. Finishing with that leg she began on the other. While they were turned away from the table Kevin had gotten the hamburgers for both Nick and Sarah and set them at there places.
Once she was finished she stood as he grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently then he turned in his chair and saw the burger in front of him. “Thanks Kevin.” He responded quietly.
Lively conversation was going around the table after dinner when Nick stood to go get ice cream for everyone. He had just placed some in a bowl when everyone heard a loud thunk and looked over and he was beginning to fall but trying to keep himself from going all the way down by clutching to the sink to stay standing.
Both Kevin and Greg jumped up and ran over to grab him. “We’ve got you.” Greg said as both men gripped under his arms to keep him standing. Sarah went to him, “Are you having a problem breathing hon?” she asked watching for the symptoms the doctor told her too. He shook his head no.
“Okay, Nick, lets get you to a cha--.” Kevin started to say but was interrupted. “I AM NOT HELPLESS DAMNIT!!!” Nick shouted angrily as his face flushed. “I want ice cream and I’m going to get it.” When Sarah heard him start to shout tears sprang to her eyes and she ran from the kitchen and Jack followed her.
“Sis do you have any 3’s?” Kevin wondered watching her. “Go Fish” Nick watched her for a second then with a grin replied, “Baby don’t lie to him like that! Give him the 3’s.” Sarah shot Nick a look and with a sigh she passed her brother the cards he’d asked for.
