Sharon: That’s right. Yes, please just move every meeting on today’s schedule to tomorrow. I will be unavailable for the rest of the day. Yeah, no matter who it is. That’s right. Thank you. Okay. Bye-bye.
Nick: Boss lady’s laying it down.
Sharon: Something gives me the idea that you’re taking the day off, too.
Nick: It’s not every day our baby girl comes back home.
Sharon: Can’t wait to see Faith. It’s been so long. I have to say, I’m kind of surprised. I mean in the best possible way. To just call out of the blue and want to come home before going to Europe with her girlfriends? I mean, it’s a shock, but I’m– Don’t get me wrong, I’m very grateful.
Nick: If we play our cards right, maybe she’ll change her mind about going to Europe for the summer.
Sharon: Yeah.
Nick: Yeah, she’s not gonna do that, is she?
Sharon: She has her father’s ,::, sense of adventure. And his sweet tooth, too.
Nick: Oh, yeah, I got all of Faith’s favorite goodies and snacks from when she was a little girl.
Sharon: Where’d all the years go?
Nick: I don’t know. But I can tell you this, this ice cream is gonna melt unless we get it in the freezer.
Sharon: Okay.
Sharon: Does everything look okay? I wish I had more time to prepare.
Nick: Sharon, it’s perfect. It looks like home. There she is!
Sharon: Finally! Oh, my gosh. I have missed you so much.
Faith: Oh, I’ve missed you, too.
Nick: Okay, I’m showing a lot of restraint, but I’m over it. Come here, come here, come here.
Faith: Dad?
Nick: Okay, I’m sorry. I’ve just missed you so much. It’s so great to see you. Let me get your suitcase.
Sharon: Come in, sweetie. Oh, my gosh. It is so nice to have you back home.
Nick: What is in here? Do you have, like, a brick collection?
Faith: Nope. Left all my heavy baggage at school.
Sharon: Are you okay?
Faith: Yeah. And you are going to love what’s in that thing. I got presents for you both. And Mariah and Tessa. And Aria. So many for Aria.
Nick: You know, we could have picked you up from the airport.
Faith: It may sound silly, but after everything that happened with Cameron, taking a rideshare alone, it was part of proving to myself that I’m okay again. That I’m me.
Nick: Okay. Well, you know you’re good, right? You’re safe. And I love you so much.
Faith: I know. I felt that as soon as I walked through the door and saw you.
Sharon: Then, why do you still seem a little on edge? Oh, sweetie. Oh, my gosh.
Nick: Here you go.
Sharon: Do you want to talk about it?
Faith: No. Why are men such jerks?
Nick: Uh, so this is about Moses? What’d he do?
Faith: He broke up with me.
Sharon: When? Why?
Faith: He said that we should date other people. That we got together too young. That experiencing different relationships is a part of the college experience. Becoming an adult. He made it sound like he was doing it for both of us.
Nick: Faith, I’m so sorry.
Sharon: It’s never easy, getting your heart broken. But the pain will go away eventually, and you’ll remember the good times.
Nick: And the next time that you fall in love?
Faith: Next time? No. I am never falling in love again.
Nick: It’s time to bring in some reinforcements.
Faith: Perfect.
Nick: I guess these comfort foods were a good call after all.
Sharon: Thank you. I should never doubt your wisdom.
Nick: No, you shouldn’t.
Faith: How do you do that?
Nick: Do what?
Faith: Still get along? You’ve broken up and gotten back together and broken up and gotten back together a zillion times.
Nick: I mean, not like a zillion.
Faith: And you’re still friends. And it’s great, but how can you stand to even be in the same room after all the hell you put each other through?
Nick: Yeah, there was a… Was a lot of hell, but there was also a lot of love, Faith.
Sharon: And it helps that your dad is one of the best people I know. He’s funny, sometimes.
Nick: Hey!
Sharon: Well, he’s thoughtful and caring and he’s the best father in the world and back in the day, he was a total romantic.
Faith: Dad, romantic?
Sharon: Oh, you have no idea.
Nick: Must be our lucky day.
Sharon: Or maybe luck had nothing to do with it and you planned the whole thing, didn’t you?
Nick: Are you complaining?
Sharon: Nope. I am not complaining. Not at all.
Nick: We have all the food and drink we’ll need. Plus, a little stove and a grill. So, we’ll be playing Mr. and Mrs. Robinson Crusoe in style. So, what do you think?
Sharon: What do you think I think? All right, Mr. Crusoe, I want to start by checking out that reef, so go get your suit on.
Nick: Who needs a bathing suit?
Sharon: I beg your pardon?
Nick: Need I remind you that we are literally the only two people on this entire island. So… You know what I’m saying?
Sharon: Uh-huh.
Nick: I’ll see you out there.
Sharon: Wait for me.
Mariah: Hey!
Nick: Hey!
Mariah: Is my little sister here? Are we still waiting?
Nick: She’s here!
Mariah: Hi!
Faith: Hi!
Mariah: Good to see you! Oh, my gosh!
Tessa: So good to see you.
Faith: I’m getting that a lot.
Sharon: Yeah.
Faith: You didn’t bring Aria?
Mariah: Oh, no. Um, she was still napping.
Tessa: So, we just left her with the sitter.
Mariah: Are we interrupting?
Faith: No, you’re just in time. Mom and Dad were about to tell me their whole love story.
Nick: We are?
Sharon: I’m pretty sure you already know it.
Mariah: I mean, I’ve heard part of it.
Tessa: I mean, I know even less.
Faith: And I want to hear it all. The good and the bad.
Nick: I don’t think we have enough snacks for that.
Faith: Oh, we do.
Mariah: Yeah. So, come on, let’s hear it.
Sharon: We were so young, driving around in that old pickup of yours, listening to the radio like the rest of the world didn’t exist.
Nick: Yeah. First time I ever saw you, that was it. I was done.
Sharon: It’s been a wonderful evening, Nick. I don’t know when I’ve enjoyed myself more.
Nick: We didn’t do anything special.
Sharon: I guess that’s part of it. Just spending time with a guy I like so much. Spending time with you. Just talking about anything and everything. Mostly just being close to you. I haven’t been this happy in so long. Thanks to you, Nicholas Newman. I wonder why we work so well together.
Nick: Chemistry. You bring the best out in me.
Sharon: You do the same for me. You came on a little strong.
Nick: A little? I’m surprised you gave me a second chance.
Sharon: I guess I knew even then.
Nick: Knew what?
Sharon: What kind of guy you really are.
Faith: Love at first sight. It couldn’t have been that easy.
Nick: No, it wasn’t easy. Your mom was dating this creep named Matt Clark.
Sharon: And then, you started dating my friend, Amy. Obviously, I came to my senses and I broke up with Matt to be with your dad. Unfortunately, Matt did not take that too well.
Tessa: How bad did it get?
Sharon: It was terrible.
Faith: Did you beat him up?
Nick: Yeah, there was some of that.
Matt: Come on, man. Come on.
Mariah: That sounds pretty intense.
Faith: What happened next?
Nick: Matt just wouldn’t let it go, so it, uh, got ugly.
Sharon: Please, stay with me. Don’t go, okay?
Nick: Sharon, no. Matt Clark will pay for what he did to you. I have to go.
Sharon: No, Nick, it’s over. It’s over. I’m all right.
Nick: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Okay, think. Think. Think. Fingerprints? Get them off. Here’s your magazine.
Larry: This ain’t no skin rag, boy.
Nick: Oh, guess you’re gonna have to read.
Larry: Won’t be nearly as interesting as this. “I love you. I will never stop loving you with all my heart. Sharon.” Just must be one knockout, this Sharon, huh? One hot, little babe. There is nothing fun about prison. But eventually the charges were dropped because my ex, Amy, came forward and confessed to the shooting.
Faith: Thank God. Imagine if she hadn’t and you two hadn’t gotten back together again.
Sharon: Matt wasn’t our only obstacle. There was also your grandmother.
Nick: What is it specifically that you do not like about Sharon?
Nikki: Well, I thought she was brash. She was very pushy. I thought she was extremely aggressive.
Nick: Why? Because she came out here to meet you?
Nikki: Partly.
Nick: And someone who isn’t after me for my money wouldn’t do that.
Nikki: A proper young lady would wait to be invited.
Nikki: Well, I guess you and I just have different ideas on what a proper young lady is.
Mariah: Wow. Nikki goes hard.
Tessa: When did Noah come along?
Mariah: Yeah, I mean, I bet Noah’s birth made Nikki and Victor accept you. They love their grandkids.
Nick: I really don’t know how things could get any better.
Sharon: Well, they can, Nicholas. Our life together can become even more special, more perfect. And it’s going to.
Nick: What are you talking about?
Sharon: The most wonderful thing has happened. I’m pregnant. I’m going to have your baby. Your son, Nicholas. Your son.
Nick: It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. You’re my boy. Noah’s birth was life-changing.
Sharon: There were more changes to come.
Nick: Why is it that you’re so hung up on Cassie that you don’t have time for me anymore? Why is she such an obsession with you?
Sharon: Because she’s mine, Nick.
Nick: What the hell does that mean?
Sharon: It means that Cassie isn’t Grace’s cousin. Cassie’s my child. The one that I had to give up when I was .
Nick: But you’re saying–
Sharon: Yes. Cassie’s my daughter. And I understand why you thought that I was taking time away from us, but now you know that Cassie really is part of our family.
Nick: Now, you hold on. We agreed no more children right now. And now you expect me to make time for a child that isn’t even mine?
Sharon: Nicholas, please. Please. Give this a chance. Give us a chance.
Nick: I admit I had some issues at first.
Sharon: But eventually, he came to love Cassie as his own.
Nick: This is really awesome, sweetheart.
Cassie: You can have it.
Nick: Thank you.
Cassie: No, thank you. I never had a family before and now, I do.
Nick: You betcha you do. Come here.
Sharon: If only we had also found Mariah at the same time. What a gift it would have been to have my daughters growing up together as sisters.
Faith: That would have been amazing.
Mariah: Well, I’m– I’m genuinely happy that Cassie got a better deal. She’s lucky to have Sharon and Nick as parents.
Nick: We were the lucky ones to have her in our life.
Faith: So, you got married. You’ve got kids. Were you living the dream?
Nick: Working for my dad had its challenges.
Victor: My boy, I’ve looked forward to this since the day you were born. My son joining me in my business.
Nick: I know you wondered if I’d ever make it.
Victor: Well, there were moments when I had my doubts, but that’ but that’s all behind us now.
Sharon: He is your father and he deserves your respect.
Nick: I do respect him. That doesn’t give him the right to try and run my life. And why can’t he understand that I will not let the coffee house interfere with my job at Newman Enterprises? Have I ever once dropped the ball at work?
Sharon: No, it seems like you’ve worked harder.
Nick: You’re damn right, I have. His asking me to get rid of Crimson Lights is being totally unreasonable and I’m not gonna do it. There was a lot going on.
Sharon: Too much.
Nick: I cheated on your mom.
Mariah: Way to drop that bomb, Nick.
Sharon: I cheated too.
Faith: You guys!
Sharon: I slept with Diego once and you shacked up with Grace Turner how many times?
Nick: It’s ancient history, Sharon. I see you’ve already moved on to the next guy.
Sharon: You know, this has nothing to do with David.
Nick: Oh, David? That’s his name? No wonder you were so quick to shove that divorce down my throat.
Sharon: You know damn well why I want a divorce. Because I’m sick of watching our children suffer while you sit around deciding whether or not you’re gonna forgive me.
Nick: Yeah, and you’ve already moved on to the next guy.
Sharon: God, you are obsessed!
Nick: Yeah, you’re right, I am, because I can’t get it out of my head.
Sharon: What?
Nick: You and Diego going at it. You call me a hypocrite? You portray yourself as a sweet, innocent housewife, when all the while, you’re looking for the next guy to jump in the sack with.
Sharon: You really think that little of me? After all these years, after everything we’ve been through? Is that who you think I am?
Nick: Actions speak louder than words.
Sharon: You’re right. Actions do speak louder than words. Loud and clear. You sign those divorce papers, Nick. You hear me? You get them signed. Put an end to this farce of a marriage.
Nick: That was, uh, a tough time for us. But the hardest blow was losing Cassie. It gutted us.
Victoria: Honey, there’s nothing left for you here anymore.
Nick: I just want to sit a while.
Victoria: All right. All right, I’ll sit with you then.
Nick: Alone.
Victoria: I don’t think you should be by yourself.
Nick: You don’t? Then, why don’t you tell me who I should be with? Because right now, I don’t have a clue, so you tell me. I couldn’t handle my grief, so I, uh, I acted out. But, I hurt a lot of people. Your mom, most of all. You think I’m strange, don’t you? For telling you that Cassie talks to me.
Phyllis: Mm-mm. No, I don’t.
Nick: I don’t know why I told you that. I’ve never told anyone.
Phyllis: Well, I’m glad you felt comfortable to share it with me.
Nick: It felt good to have someone to talk to about it.
Phyllis: I’m glad you’re talking to me.
Nick: And this is going to make all my problems go away?
Phyllis: I don’t know if it’s going to do that. It’s just sort of acknowledging what you went through this year and what we’ve been through together. So, you should open it.
Nick: Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil. It’s beautiful. Thank you.
Sharon: I saw Phyllis buy this exact outfit.
Nick: It’s news to me.
Sharon: No, it isn’t. She bought it for you.
Nick: Why would she do that?
Sharon: Tell me, Nick. Was she wearing this when you two had sex in this hotel room? Or how about when you were in the stables? Or perhaps it was that cheap motel room that you stayed in during the snowstorm? Then, it could have been any number of occasions. How many others were there, Nick? Tell me! How long has this affair with Phyllis been going on? I wish that Cassie hadn’t died. I wish that we could have turned to each other when she did. But we didn’t. You couldn’t. I wish that we hadn’t changed. But we both have. We’re not the same people that we were a year ago. We’ve been fighting to hang on to something.
Nick: Yeah, we have.
Sharon: And?
Nick: Maybe we shouldn’t anymore. We both tried to move on. But then…
Sharon: The cabin?
Nick: Yeah, and not just once.
Sharon: The first time was how you came into existence, Faith.
Nick: I found a letter that your mom had written me, but she never sent it. She was telling me that she will always love me. I realized I felt the same way. The second time, there… Moments pass, but sometimes, the feelings don’t.
Sharon: Do you think if Cassie hadn’t died, that we would still be together?
Nick: Yes.
Sharon: I do too.
Faith: Wow.
Mariah: Big wow.
Faith: But it’s not like you guys went straight into some kind of instant happily ever after.
Nick: You’re a tough case. But, you’re right. Um, it wasn’t, uh, it wasn’t always easy, but the happy part was finding out that your mom was pregnant.
Sharon: There were a lot of other complications after you were born.
Faith: I know this part. Adam kidnapped me and gave me to Ashley Abbott.
Nick: But we got you back, our baby girl.
Sharon: Just like Cassie predicted.
Tessa: Cassie predicted Faith?
Nick: We have cherished every moment with you, every one of them. You’re such an amazing daughter. You really are one of a kind.
Cassie: You’ll have another little girl someday.
Sharon: Cassie, honey. We have our little girl.
Cassie: One day, you’ll… You’ll have another one. I know it. One day.
Tessa: Oh, my God. Your twin, babe.
Sharon: Having our precious little girl in our family again, in our lives, it was a wonderful time.
Faith: Until you and Dad decided to fight over custody of me.
Sharon: Well…
Nick: Yeah, um… we’re sorry we put you through that.
Sharon: We both thought that we were in the right and it turns out we only ended up hurting you.
Faith: But even after all of the fights and all the other relationships, the love was still there. You still wanted to get married again.
Sharon: I really believed that we could get it right.
Mariah: That is a wedding, almost wedding, that I will never forget.
Nick: Do not listen to him.
Sharon: Don’t touch me! Even when we were at our angriest, your father said, because we love each other, anything’s possible. And he was right.
Tessa: Oh, um, Aria’s awake and the sitter needs to get going.
Mariah: Yeah, I’m so sorry to cut this short, but um, this was a very fascinating trip down memory lane. Um, I love you guys and we’ll spend some time together soon, yeah?
Faith: Tell Aria I’ll be over for cuddles.
Mariah: Yeah, I will. I love you.
Sharon: I love you.
Mariah: Bye, guys.
Nick: Bye.
Tessa: Bye.
Nick: Was that, uh, too much information?
Faith: I’m glad I know everything.
Sharon: You sure?
Faith: I understand now how things were. How maybe even the bad times, the mistakes made your relationship even stronger.
Nick: Life’s messy, Faith, and so is love, and you’re finding that out right now for yourself, but what I think keeps people grounded is family. It brings you back to center, no matter how far you’ve drifted. And who knows, maybe someday Moses will realize that you’re his center.
Faith: Is Mom yours?
Nick: I will always have love in my heart for your mother. Even after all the heartache that we’ve caused each other, I think we’ve found the right balance. And that’s all tied to you and Noah. You are our center.
Sharon: Perfectly put.
Nick: Right? Yeah, okay. So, now that that’s settled… you still love us?
Faith: Even more.
Nick: Mom? Dad? Victoria, how did you get here?
Victoria: You’ll never guess. By airplane.
Nick: No, when did you get back?
Victoria: Very recently.
Nick: Have Mom and Dad seen you?
Victoria: No. No, not yet.
Nick: Wow. Wow, it’s great to see you.
Victoria: What are you doing here?
Nick: Did you really think I was gonna let you go through this alone? You look beautiful. Mom, I know you’re gonna make it through this.
Nikki: You think so, huh?
Nick: You’re tough. You always have been tough. Anyway, I’m here now. Maybe I can help. No, I know I can help, Mom.
Nikki: It has been pretty lonely around here for me lately. Suddenly, I’m very, very glad to have my son back home.
Victor: Take a little more time. Take a little more time. Take a little more time. Mean it. Good. Good. Good. Good. Every time you go into the ring sparring with someone, it’s like walking through fire. Everyone is scared, okay? It’s a question of how you overcome that fear. But the look in your eyes tells me that you will overcome that fear. You’re Victor Newman’s son.
Victor: How time flies. Anyway. You be cool, okay?
Nick: I’m always cool. Have I told you lately how much I love you?
Nikki: Honey, I love you, too.
Nick: I know you do. Everything is gonna be great.
Victor: You make me proud to be a grandfather. When I see you with your kids, it makes me happy. It makes me proud. Come here.
Nikki: Nicholas.
Nick: Mom.
Nikki: I’m so glad you’re here. Mm. Did Faith get home safely?
Nick: Yeah, getting settled in as we speak.
Victor: Well, don’t let me keep you from her. Why don’t we get down to business?
Nick: All right. But first, there’s something I would like to say to you both.
Nikki: Please don’t tell me there’s bad news.
Nick: No, Mom. It’s, uh… It’s nothing like that. It’s nothing bad. I just wanted you both to know how much I love being your son, how indebted I am to this life you’ve given me.
Nikki: Oh. What a wonderful thing for you to say, but where is this coming from?
Nick: Sharon and I were talking to Faith, and she wanted to know about our history. You know, the past, our relationship, all of it, so we told her. You know, the good and the bad and it occurred to me that it’d been quite a while since I’d taken a hard look at some of the things I’ve done and the mistakes I made and… you know, the people I hurt. I’d like to think that I made some of those things right and, uh… done better, tried harder. And who knows, maybe even grown some wisdom. But it’s because of you two, you know, the lessons that you taught me. I couldn’t have asked for better role models.
Victor: My boy, we couldn’t have asked for a better son.
Nick: Thanks, Dad.
Announcer: Next week on The Young and the Restless…
Lily: The constant infighting has been stopping Chancellor-Winters from growing and I think that Billy and I have come up with a scenario that will stop the constant fighting and conflict.
Mamie: Now this, I’d like to hear.
Victor: Well, I certainly hope, Kyle, that you’re still considering it because I hate for you to waste your talent at your present place of employment.
Kyle: Maybe… it is time for me to think about a change.
