It was just another night in the Nichols/Morello household. They were in marital bliss as always. Nicky had just fucked Lorna until she was a loud, moaning mess and now they were watching TV while trying to fall asleep. In pretty much every way their life together was perfect. They loved the apartment they lived in. They loved that they lived so close to Alex and Piper. They were so in love with each other and so happy, yet there was one issue they could never agree on. It had been 2 long month of Lorna badgering Nicky. Every time they'd walk down the street and pass a baby it was start again.

"Aw, Nick, look how cute! Oh I want one! Isn't he cute, Nick?"

"Yeah, yeah, cute. It's cute"

Lorna would send Nicky little hints.

"Do you think the guest room would look better if it was pink or blue?"

"Hypothetically, if we were gonna put a crib in here, where do you think it would go?"

And now, as they were supposed to be trying to fall asleep, it was happening again.

"Come on, Nick, babies are so adorable!"

"Kid, I don't like babies"

"Aw you'd like your own baby! It's different when it's yours"

"Ugh I just want to go to sleep"

"Is that really your whole reason? You just don't like babies? Cause they don't stay babies forever, ya know. In a couple years it'd be like a real person that you can watch TV with and teach dirty jokes to. And don't tell me you wouldn't like that because I know you love that stuff. You did both of those things with me just today!"

Nicky stayed quiet and put her head down as if she was really thinking about it.

After awhile Nicky responded. "I don't know if I can kid" she said so quietly that Lorna could barely even hear her.

Sensing that Nicky was upset, Lorna put her hand on top of Nicky's and gave it a good, comforting squeeze.

"What? I don't understand, Nick"

"I had a terrible family life and I almost didn't survive because of it. I wouldn't know how to be a mother. I never had an example of a good mother. I couldn't put someone through that."
"Nick, your mother was never an example of how to be a good person either, but you're the sweetest person I know. You would do anything for me or Red or Alex. I know that. I also know that you will love your own baby. You just will- I know it. You're not a bitter, angry person like your mother, so you would have a normal person's reaction and fall in love with your kid. And then I know you'd do anything for that kid just like you'd do anything for me.

Nicky stayed silent and continued to look down.

"Nick, I don't just wanna have a kid for the sake of having a kid. I wanna have a kid with you cause I can picture our family together. I love you so much and I wouln't want to make you uncomfortable, so if you still really hate the idea then we won't do it and I'll stop asking. But just don't sell yourself short, ok? You would be such a good mom. Besides you do have an example of a good mom. You can be like Red."

"Ok." Nicky said as she started to look up.

"Ok?"
"Yeah, okay. We can do it. We can have a baby." Nicky said as her face broke into a wide grin. For the first time the idea was starting to actually sound appealing.

"AHHH!" Lorna squealed as she pulled Nicky into a tight hug. "We're really gonna have a baby!"

"Yes, we're really gonna have a baby" Nicky kissed Lorna's cheek as she held her tight.
