Carter's song to Tori: Gotta be somebody by Nickelback.

Finally making it home from the Casino, Carter strips down and throws himself on the massive bed. Closing his eyes, he remembers that tomorrow he's visiting his Grandfather. That old man has been blowing up Carter's cell phone lately, wanting to see the signed Marriage papers.

It still shocks Carter that he's married now. He hasn't complained about it in a while, there's been no reason too. The short red head isn't hard to handle, annoying... Yes but not hard to handle.

Although, he doesn't so much mind her annoying him. For example, he wishes she was in his bed and not her own. Throwing his large hand over his face, he sighs in frustration. This can't be possible, every time she comes around, his heart freaks out. His palms get sweaty and sparks feel as if they're shooting out of his body.

What if he doesn't want this marriage to end? Why does it have to? Maybe they married for the wrong reasons but, that doesn't change how he feels about her.

"Fuck." He groans realizing he's doing it again, he often finds himself thinking about her and his feelings.

This definitely isn't like him, what happened to the crude, arrogant, cocky, cold-hearted prick. Instead, Victoria's made him soft. She makes him want to grab her and run away, there's dangers out there that he might not be able to save her from. Including his fake ass mob members.

Without realizing it, sleep took over Carter's body. Darkness clouded his mind until he drifted off into a dream.

"My, My, My." A dark, familiar voice echoed through a dark room.

Where the hell is he? Who the fuck is talking?

"Don't fucking touch her." His own voice broke out.

Instantly, a dim light flickered on. Under it was a sprawled out Victoria.

"You mistake my motives." A disgusting snicker causes chills to run down Carter's spin. "I only want what I deserve from her."

The owner of the voice stepped foot in the light.

"You've got to be kidding me." Carter groaned.

"Missed me? I missed you." The blonde man knelt down. "I've missed this little fox so much more though." His long bony fingers twirled a piece of her red locks. "Her sweet scent, milky skin. Those beautiful dick suc-."

"Get your hands off of her, and don't you fucking dare finish that sentence." Carter was red with anger.

Why is this happening? Why can't he get free?

The blonde grabbed Tori's thighs with a sadistic laugh.

"James I swear, I'll fucking kill you." He yells louder.

James locks eyes with Carter as he pressed his lips against Tori's knee.

"I can't wait to taste all of her." James's laugh was insane as was the look in his eyes.

With in a flash, the blonde rips Tori's sun dress off. His eyes never leaving her torn up body. Scars were deeply inbeded all over her skin. Outstrecthing one finger, he glides it down her soft stomach.

"Just a little further down." He laughs.

Carter tugs, and pulls at his ropes. Ripping his eyes away from the scene, he starts to frantically pull at the ropes. The sound of a belt buckle hitting the ground made him freeze.

Before he could think, he was up on his feet. Raising his leg quickly, his foot connects with the bottom of James's jaw. Loud cracking noises broke the erie silence. Not giving the perv time to react. Carter runs over to him and repeatedly stomps on the blonde's face until it's completely busted in.

"I said don't fucking touch her." Carter yells as loud as he possibly can. "I killed you twice now, you nasty fuck."

"Carter..." Tori's voice forced him to stop.

"Carter, come on. Wake up." Victoria shook him a little rougher than previously. "You're going to be late."

Shooting up with his eyes opened wide, he takes in his surroundings.

"What?" He asked in a hused tone.

"We're going to see your Grandfather."

"Right." He mumbled.

*************

The hospital was quiet, nurses were sitting down at tables drinking coffee and laughing as they spotted the familiar red head. Glares and finger pointing were directed to the formee nurse.

Choosing to ignore the hateful tension, she continues to walk with her husband. Holding her head high, she bumps into the back of someone.

"Watch where you're going babe." Carter laughs as he lifts her chin up to look at him.

He's noticed the dirty looks she's recived from her former co workers. Smiling down at her, he gives her a soft kiss on the head.

"Come on beautiful. We've got to meet my grandfather." Taking her hand in his, he leads her to his family member's room.

"Look who has finally decided to visit me." The old man laughed as Carter and Tori, hand in hand, entered the room. "I see you've brought your pretty nurse friend." Clarke rose a brow to his grandson.

"Actually, Grandpa. Victoria is my wife." The proud smile on Carter's face was genuine.

Tori rushed over to her Grandfather in law, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug.

"Oh, Clarke. How are you?"

The old man let's put a friendly laugh.

"I'm just great dearie. How has my grandson been treating you?" He pulls away from her.

"Wonderfully." She smiles at her husband and back at the old man laying in the bed.

Carter hands Clarke a piece of folded up paper.

"This is the marriage verification."

Clarke kindly takes the paper from the younger man and examines it.

"How long have you been married?"

"Almost an entire month, we married August twenty seventh." Carter explains.

"Good, eleven more to go." Clarke handed the paper back over. "I'm sorry I couldn't make it there, they wouldn't let me leave."

"We understand." Tori takes the old man's hand in a comforting way.

"My dear, my grandson got lucky with you." He patted his other hand against hers.

"Yeah, she's something special. I guess." Carter mumbles to himself.
