| Entwined Family |
| Nikita woke up early the next morning and just relaxed. It was kind of hard not too seeing as she was laying entwined in Michael’s arms. Nikita smiled to herself remembering the night before. Michael had been so tender and caring to her last night. In fact, he’d been that way for the past two weeks and she would miss that side of him when they returned to Section today. Had she just imagined it last night or had Michael proposed to her. Or at least suggested they get married? It seemed real enough. God she hoped so. She loved him so much and they were going to have a baby(s) within months. Suddenly Nikita felt a hand softly caress her cheek. She looked up slowly with a bright smile on her face. “Good Morning darling” she said as she scooted up to kiss him. “mmmm...it is” he murmured appreciatively as he pulled her even closer to his rock solid frame. “What time do we have to be in at?” she asked. “7am” he replied glancing at the clock. They had an hour. “Shower together?” Michael murmured. “hmmm...you go on along and I’ll think about it” Nikita replied jokingly. Michael stood up and streched his lean form before walking around to Kita’s side of the bed. “Thought about it long enough yet?” Michael asked bending over her and stealing a kiss. “mmm....maybe” she sighed. Michael scooped her up into his arms in one swift movement carrying her into the adjoining bathroom. Nikita giggled a little surprised. ‘Michael seemed so playful this morning and it was turning out to be a great day’ she thought as Michael placed her under the warm jets of the shower. An hour later found Michael and Nikita looking down upon section from Michael’s new office. Michael gently pulled Nikita against him giving her a squeeze. Nikita layed her head against Michaels shoulder as her hand went to her slightly bulged stomach protectively. She smiled up at him but they both seperated when they felt Madeline’s presence behind them. Michael turned around slowly. “Madeline” he said with his reserved calm exterior. “Michael, Nikita” Madeline said. “I came to see if Nikita was ready to begin her training” Madeline stated. “She’ll be there in 10 mins” Michael intervened before Nikita could say anything. “Fine” Madeline said walking out leaving the two star-crossed lovers alone once again. “What is she talking about Michael?” Nikita asked getting a pit feeling in the bottom of her stomach. “What new position” Michael darkened and locked the office before answering her. “Relax Kita” he commanded coming over to massage her shoulders which were very tense by now. “You trust me don’t you?” he asked concerned. Nikita hesitated for a moment, “of course I do” she replied smiling. “Good” he replied then you’ll be happy to know that you’ve been promoted” he said. Nikita’s eyes widened. “Promoted?” she stammered. “To what?” Michael gave her a half smile “Head Strategist & Tactical Director” he replied. Nikita gasped, “How? I’m not even level 3 yet” she said. “I don’t want you out in the field without me” he said concerned. “I can’t protect you unless i’m there.” Nikita smiled pulling him into a deep embrace. “I love you too Michael” she replied. He pulled back just a little to caress her face. “You’ll also be training with Madeline some to take over for her” he replied. Nikita jerked back, “What, why?” “Because I don’t trust her” Michael replied. “Michael, you know I’m no good at the interrogation thing” she replied sadly. “Listen to me Kita” Michael implored. “You will get better. You will not have to kill anyone in cold blood. Your will only have to be concerned with the Psych, interrogation, and oversight of the missions” he comforted her. “Housekeeping and/or the twins can take care of the disposal part” he assured her. “Oh Michael. You’re so good to me” she said crying a bit. “Kita I know you can’t kill in coldblood. It’s not in your nature and it would destroy you” “Thank you Michael” she said conveying her pleasure in a deep but passionate kiss. |
