Nick tried to lift his arms to stretch but something had his arms hooked. "What the, huh?" Nick looked down and saw Kim Ann cuddled in close to him with her head resting on his chest and her arm hooked over his body. Nick smiled when he remembered that Howie had ducked out of the movie night at the last minute and when they had gotten home they had started to watch a movie in his room and they must have fallen asleep. He closed his eyes and pulled her in closer, feeling the warmth that came off of her. Kymmi sighed contently and opened her eyes. It took her a few seconds to focus and comprehend where she was, she jumped up and pulled the sheets over her body.
"Relax, we are fully dressed and unless you are a magician I would say that nothing happened" Nick was laughing as he watched Kim Ann's startled expression.
"I guess we fell asleep huh"
"What was your first clue red, did you enjoy using me as a body pillow?"
"I must admit that you are nice and puffy in the right spots, now enough with this, I am starving, be a gentleman and make me breakfast"
"Uh uh I don't do the cooking thing, we can grab breakfast at the grill down the street and then I can drop you off at Sky's" Nick crawled out of bed and stripped off his shirt and jeans as he walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
Kim Ann was thinking evil thoughts when Nick walked back into the bedroom wearing only a pair of Calvin Klein boxers and threw a towel at her.
"What is this for?"
"To wipe the drool from your chin" Nick winked and started to walk away when he felt a sharp sting on his ass. He turned and saw Kim Ann wearing an evil grin and holding the twisted towel."Don't start what you can't finish Kymmi" and he walked into the bathroom and shut the door.

AJ dug his keys out of the jeans that were thrown over the chair and walked downstairs. He opened the screen door and let his dogs out into the fenced yard and locked the door behind him. He had some things to buy for Molly before the hair cut and he wanted to surprise her with them.

"And you wonder why your stage clothes don't fit" Kim Ann teased as Nick placed his breakfast order. Kim Ann was in the middle of telling the waitress her order when she stopped in mid sentance. "Nick I didn't know you had an older sister"
"I don't, what brought that on?" Nick asked, confused.
"Well then that is one hell of a coincidence" Kim Ann pointed to the blonde woman that was walking towards them.
"That's Nik, hey Nik, what are you doing here?" Nick stood up to greet his friend and slid in beside Kim Ann to let Nik join them. "This is Kim Ann, this is Nik" The two women shook hands and as Nick and the woman talked Kim Ann stared in awe "There is no way that she is not related to him, my god the resemblance is canny" she thought to herself.
"So you and Nick have just met?" Kim Ann asked
"We sat together on the plane and have been talking ever since. He is a lot of fun" Nik smiled fondly at the blonde man who didn't know that she was the older sister he had always dreamed of.

Molly sat up in bed and reached for her robe. When she climbed out of bed she went to pull the covers back up to start making the bed, she saw the pile of hair on the pillow and clasping it to her face she fell to the ground crying.

AJ walked into the house and after putting the shopping bags down, walked upstairs to wake Molly. "Baby I am.....Chipper what's wrong" AJ knelt beside his girlfriend and when he caught a glimpse of the fistful of hair he knew what had her so upset. "Baby it will grow back, don't worry baby" The two lovers rocked in each other's arms as their sobs formed the melody to keep beat to.

"Nickolas Gene Carter, I am telling you that she has to be related to you" Kim Ann and Nick were driving to Kevin's when Kim Ann brought up the subject of Nikola.
"She is not related to me..trust me I think I would know" Nick was trying to concentrate on the road but the conversation was flustering him.
"Nick I am telling you, she is hiding something, all of a sudden she shows up and starts asking questions about your family, she shows up wherever you are and hello she is the spitting image of Aaron and your dad" Kim Ann felt the tension in the air and reached out to touch Nick's white knuckled hand that was gripping the steering wheel tightly.
"Kim Ann DROP IT..I don't want to have this stupid conversation" Nick shrugged her hand off of his and turned up the radio.
Kim Ann looked out of her window "Fine, but I will get to the bottom of this. Something is not right and I am going to find out" she thought to herself.

AJ and Molly were still kneeling in each other's arms when AJ brought up the haircut. "Baby you don't have to do it you know, I mean you could let nature take its course"
"No Alex I have to do it, please don't fight me on it, if you cannot handle this then I will call and reschedule but I pray that it doesn't go come to that, I need you with me while I do this.'
AJ kissed her forhead and smiled "I will be with you every step of the way
Chipper, that I promise you"
