"There it is! That's her plane!" Brian shouted while jumping up and down.
"Rok calm down! You don't wanna scare her to death. She still recuperating from her surgery," AJ said.
"Sorry I can't help it. I haven't seen her in two weeks," he said, gripping tightly to the bear he had in his hands.
"Brian you might wanna loosen up on that bear a little. You're gonna kill it," Kevin said.
Brian looked down at the bear. His hands were wringed around its neck. He let out an embarrassed chuckle. "Whoops," he said and set it down on the seat by him.
"There they are!" Nikki said as she raced toward Rachel and Kristin. Everyone followed her and surrounded Kristin and Rachel. They all exchanged hugs. Rachel slid through everyone and found Brian waiting patiently for her. A huge smile spread across her face and she ran straight into his arms. As soon as their lips met Brian lifted her up and spun her around.
"God I missed you!" Brian said as he hugged her tightly.
"I missed you too," she murmured and kissed him passionately, slipping her tongue in his mouth.
"Mmmmm I've missed your kisses," Brian said then kissed her again.
"Hey! No making out in the air port!" said AJ.
Rachel and Brian parted, blushing. "Sorry," Brian said.
AJ laughed. "Hey it's cool."
"You guys, where's Nick?" Kristin asked
"He's back at the hotel," Brian said.
"Why is he there? Didn't he want to see me? What's going on?" Kristin said, on the verge of tears.
"Whoa whoa whoa. Calm down girl," said Amanda. "He wanted to see you, but he was given instructions by the doctor to stay in his room as much as possible. He's got a really bad flu."
Kristin wiped the tears from her eyes. "I'm sorry guys. I'm just really stressed, I need sleep, and I really wanted to see him. I missed him."
"Aww, we know you did," Amanda said as she hugged Kristin. "Come on, we're going back to the hotel. You can see him there."
Everyone climbed into the limo and went to the hotel. Everyone told Rachel stories that went on while she was away. Rachel smiled and laid her head on Brian's shoulder cuddling with the bear he gave her. She looked away from her bear and looked over at Kristin who was sitting next to her. She was facing away from everyone, looking out the window.
"What's wrong?" she whispered.
"Nothing," Kristin said, then sniffled.
"Yeah right," Rachel said with a grin. "What's wrong?"
"I want my Nickers!" Kristin whined.
"Aww," Rachel said and hugged her best friend. "You know you gonna see him here in a few minutes. Why are you crying?"
"I dunno," Kristin sobbed.
Rachel chuckled. "Hon, you need a nap."
"Shut up!" Kristin said as she wiped her tears.
Rachel laughed and went back to cuddling Brian. "What's wrong with her?" Brian asked.
Rachel rolled her eyes with a smile and shook her head. "Don't ask."
"All right then," Brian said in his Jim Cary voice.
"You're too cute," she said with a laugh.
"So are you," Brian said as he leaned in for a kiss.
Rachel kissed him lightly. "There's more where that came from," she said seductively.
Brian raised his eyebrows. "Oh really now? Can I have some more?"
"Later," Rachel said with a sly grin.
The limo stopped and everyone climbed out. Dodging the fans outside, they rushed to the elevator. When they arrived to their floor Kristin shoved her way out first.
"Out of my way! Gotta find Nicky!" she said as she ran down the hall. "Which room?"
"One eleven," Brian called.
"Thank you," Kristin said as she hurried to the room. Quietly she opened the door and crept inside. The curtains were pulled back and the room was dark. She looked over at the bed and could see Nick fast asleep. She ran to the bed and crashed down next to Nick, waking him up.
"You're back," he said in a hoarse voice.
"I missed you!" Kristin said in sobs.
"What?"
"I said I missed you," she repeated, crying harder.
"Baby calm down I can't understand you. "What's wrong?"
"I.....I dunno!" Kristin whined again.
Nick smiled and pulled him closer to him. He kissed her on the forehead. "I think you're tired," he said softly while caressing her cheek. Kristin sniffled and cuddled up next to Nick. He rubbed his hand on her back and she fell asleep almost instantly. Pulling the covers over her, he gave her one last kiss and went back to sleep.
