Save Me

Epilogue

"Mr. Dawson where does this go?" Parker asked him. Parker was one of the second chance youths that helped at Nikolai's restaurant. Nikolia had opened the restaurant and made a deal with WPD and HPD to help teenagers going down the wrong path, to steer them on the right path. It was his two dreams in one and he kept the promise to his loving wife that he would do something his mother would be proud of.

It was a condition he had to make if he wanted her to marry him. It was one of the best things he's ever done. "Put them in the fridge." He told him. The door of the kitchen opened up and his beautiful FBI agent came in. She was six months pregnant and held the hand of their three year old son, Richard. Nikolia picked him and pulled his wife in for a kiss. "Tell me handsome, how long till closing time?" She asked biting her lip.

"Thirty minutes beautiful." He said before kissing her. "Get a room!" Some of the teenagers yelled. Chloe stuck her tongue out at them. Chloe and Richard stayed until the restaurant was closed and they made sure all of the kids were picked up.

Once home they laid Richard down and Nikolai sighed as he sat down on the couch. Slender hands began to massage his shoulders. He sighed and leaned his head back. "Thank you for saving me." He whispered looking up at her. She smiled, "I didn't save you." "Yes you did. Had you not come and made me your bitch, I'd probably be dead by now." He smiled, kissing her hand.

She laughed softly, "And what a good bitch you make." He chuckled and pulled her down for a kiss. She was his beautiful savior. If not for her who knows where he would be. There was a knock on the front door and she went to go answer it. Nikolia closed his eyes and sighed with a small smile.

"Oof." He said when one of his nephews landed in his lap. He cracked open an eye and saw Dare. His violet eyes as vibrant and held just as much mischief as his mother's. "You're getting heavy kid." He told him. "Are you calling me fat?" He asked. Nikolia chuckled, "Do you really want the answer to that?" He then felt a smack to the back of his head from Nicole. Sabel chuckled and plopped down on the arm chair. "Where are your other rug rats?" Nikolia asked them. "Our parents'. Dare said he'd rather be here, claiming his brothers smelled."

"They do!" Dare declared earning an eyeroll from his mother. Nikolia chuckled and Chloe came to sit down but there was another knock. "I keep telling you, you don't have to knock." She sighed as she let Micha and Becca in. "After the time we caught you pinned and shirtless against the foyer wall? I think we'll stick with knocking." Micha teased. Chloe rolled her eyes, "That was only once. We've learned to lock the door when he's impatient." Nikolia chuckled until a gift was slammed into his chest.

"Happy birthday." Abel declared. Nikolia gave him a glare, "You guys really don't listen when I say no gifts." "Nope." Alison said as she came in skipping. So much for a simple night with the family. Then again nothing was ever simple with this family. And that was just how he liked it.

"So who did you hit?" Dare asked looking at Nikolai's knuckles. They were bruised. Despite he left the gang, many still tried to pick fights with him. He caught several of their attention now. Nikolia just smirked, "Someone who had more bark than bite." He didn't tell his brothers about the shit because we all had our own shit to deal with. Yes he said his brothers. There was no in law title with these people family is family. Sabrina made a lot of noise when she came in with Quincy and Danny. Danny was red and Quincy only smiled. Sabrina gave Nikolia a big kiss on the cheek, leaving bright pink lipstick. Dare laughed and called him a sissy. "A man that isn't afriad to wear pink is one of the most strongest men in the world." He said poking  Dare.

Chloe smiled, as she sat down. Dare got off his lap so Nikolai could open the present Abel hit him with. It was a burned DVD. Abel, Xavier, and Bradley has evil be smirks. Realization slammed into him. He quickly jumped up and ran with the three idiots on his tail.

Nicole laughed, "Poor idiot." "What's on the disc?" Keith asked her. "As you guys know we all went to high school together. And well, a video of him had been recorded cooking and dancing to a Katy Perry song, in only his boxers." Nicole explained. "Like a fool, he hoped the video would be gone for good."

They all heard some muffled curses before Xavier and Bradley came in carrying a tied up Nikolai who had a balled up sock in his mouth. They dropped him on the living room floor in front of the TV while Abel put in the DVD. A very young Nikolia without tattoos came on the screen. He had his gages though. Rawr was playing and he was in Batman boxers. A woman was leaning against the fridge laughing softly and Chloe realized that was his mother. She had never seen a photo of her because he never had any. He looked just like her, kind smile and all.

She watched the young Nikolia dance and sing as he cooked, until a young Abel couldn't contain his laughter and Nikolia froze. He then threatened to kill to Abel as he chased him. When the camera dropped the video ended. Nikolia hadn't been able to keep his eyes off his mom until it went to him trying to kill Abel. Chloe then untied him and removed the sock. "I think I like that version of the song best."

Nikolia chuckled and kissed her. "Happy birthday handsome." She told him. He smiled against her lips, "Thank you beautiful." For the birthday and so much more, he thought.
