You smiled at the Labrador grinning back at you. The puppy was a surprise for Nikki, you thought he would love a little companion for when you weren't around.

"I don't have a name for you, but you are so adorable" You fussed the little pup as he tried to lick your cheek.

It had been nice visiting Nikki but Tommy was getting agitated. One visitor a day was causing a strain on your friendship with him. So you agreed that Tommy could pick up Nikki on his release. The phone rang and you picked it up as the little dog tried to bite the wire.

"It's John, I'm just calling to let you know Tommy's picked him up. Also I wanna talk about Nikki's recovery process, we're gonna do it different this time" John explained.

"How so?" You asked distracted as you looked out the window excitedly.

"He wants to be able to drink, casually only a couple to be social. So I said he can drink when you drink. He felt like he had too many restraints last time."

"I'm not sure that's a good idea. He calls me drunky so.." You explained chuckling nervously.

"Actually I think it's a great idea" John interrupted "It means you can learn to control yourself as well. Have fun, but not too much that it's detrimental. I'll be in touch"

The phone line cut and you frowned. Why were your habits suddenly involved. Maybe you enjoyed drinking and that was your choice. Your mood was interrupted by a car pulling up the drive way and you grinned.

"Stay here, please don't chew my shoes and look pretty for Nikki, okay?" You instructed the dog who just wagged his tail looking at you. "Good start."

The door opened as you heard them talking and joking with each other and you watched Nikki bring his stuff in. You walked over to him and hugged him tightly. He kissed you gently and held you close.

"Dude! No way" Tommy laughed and bent down behind you. Nikki looked behind you and laughed, surprised before bending down. You turned around to see them both playing with the puppy who had followed you to the door.

"What's this little guys name?" Tommy asked as Nikki sat on the floor playing with the excited dog.

"He doesn't have one, that's up to Nikki" You said running a hand through his hair as he leant against your leg.

"Aw man he's great" Nikki laughed as the puppy kept playfully attacking him. "I think I'm gonna call him Iggy"

"Then Iggy it is" You smiled. You took Nikki's stuff and moved it out the way before heading to the kitchen where Iggy and the boys soon followed.

Sex proved to be something. At first it was quick for both of you. It had been six months, and you were both desperate for each other. The second attempt, Iggy had managed to jump on the bed and you couldn't with the pup staring at you.

"I'm so happy to have you home" You mentioned as you watched him lie there with Iggy on his chest.

"I'm happy to be home babe" He said grabbing your hand and kissing it carelessly. The phone next to your bed rang and you grabbed it with a groan.

"Hello?"

Nikki sat there, watching you twirl the wire around your finger. He watched as a smile came upon your face as you reached for the tv remote and turned it on.

"They are playing my song" You squealed, covering the mouth piece of the phone. "I didn't tell you about it."

He watched as Bret Michaels appeared on the TV with Poison's new music video. You hung up the phone and bobbed your head to it with a grin.

"Just the guitar by the way. The lyrics were certainly not my call" You commented.

"You really are doing it babe. I missed out on some of your biggest accomplishments" He said and you shook your head as you cuddled up to his side.

"My biggest one is yet to come" You said wiggling your eyebrows. He put his arm around you.

"What do you know" Nikki asked and watched as you chewed your lip.

"Steven Tyler has asked if I want to work with him" You said rushed, almost too rushed to comprehend.

"No fuckin way" Nikki laughed, surprised "That's amazing, that's, He's our band."

"I know he is Nikki. I didn't want to tell anyone before I told you" You grinned. "He's our favourite."

Nikki had a lot of gifts, lots of cards and a lot of contact with people wishing him the best. You had came back from a day at the beach to a massive box left on your doorstep. You brought it in the room and opened it up. It was a beautiful arrangement of roses with various little black skulls in. Nikki opened the card and read it with a smile.

"It's from one of the women who was getting clean at the Centre too. Her names Angela, isn't that funny cause of our song" He chuckled and put the card down. You eyed the card and opened it as he went to chase Iggy around.

Nikki
I'm so glad you are doing better. The centre is stupidly lonely now you are gone. You took all the fun with you! Maybe we can meet up when I get out soon.

Love and miss you!

You grunted at the card and tossed it back onto the table. Angela was one of your favourite songs that the guys were working on. And now you had a green eyed monster on your back.

"If She's in rehab how is she sending roses?" You asked Nikki when you walked into the garden. He was playing tug of war with the puppy.

"She's high profile so they don't care what she does" Nikki said with a smile. "She's great."

"What makes her high profile?"

"Porn" Nikki said and you about died.

"Oh,..Alright" You said sipping your water. Nikki stood up smirked at you. You raised an eyebrow at his mischievous look. You watched as he pulled off his T-shirt, his boots and his jeans. You watched as he pulled off his boxers before running and jumping into the pool.

You laughed and sat down at the poolside. He pushed his hair out of his face before splashing you.
"Stop" You grinned, splashing him back. You watched him go underwater before he came up, grabbing your ankles. You yelped and he grinned. His hands slid up your legs before tugging at your denim shorts.

You stood up and pulled everything up before jumping into the pool. It was nice and cool against the LA heat. You rubbed your eyes and squeeled as you felt Nikki pick you up and throw you back in the pool.

"Nikki! I swear.." You laughed as he splashed you again. You swam over to him and wrapped your legs around him. He held you close as he moved around the pool.

"I wanna get married at the end of a summer. Where it's a nice temperature and the sun is out and everything's green and just beautiful" You said looking around your garden as he held you.

"I want to have Tommy as my best man. And I want Gunner to have the rings" Nikki said thoughtfully. "And I want you naked."

"I'll get naked before and after the wedding." You replied as you ran your hands over his shoulders. "I want Patrick Swayze there in case I change my mind and need a getaway driver"

"That's understandable" Nikki smirked before kissing you. "Are we making wedding plans here?"

"I believe we are" You chuckled wrapping your arms around his neck. "I mean it's been what, 8 months since we got engaged. And then that means.."

You trailed off as your face dropped. Nikki frowned at you as you put a hand over your mouth.

"Nikki, we missed our anniversary..Nikki we've been together for.."

"Just over a year.." He said quietly and you both looked at each other.

"Shit.."You laughed and he grinned. "Happy one year."

"Tomorrow night, don't make any plans. I'm taking you out" He ordered.
