Hi, I'm S.C., the author of this drabble.
Hope you like this!
Nick was shaking from head to toe and his concerned partner wrapped his long arms around him. They sat in an office waiting for a few important people to walk through the door.
"Nickie, what's the matter? Nerves?" Jeff asked Nick, running a free hand through his hair. Nick just shook a little more violently and looked into Jeff's eyes.
"N-not if y-you let m-me have on-ne of m-my p-pills." he stuttered, reaching for his messenger bag which Jeff slid away with his foot. Nick slumped down to try and reach it with his foot, but he was no match for Jeff's longer leg.
"Honey, you need to be 100% sober when this happens. But you are the one who asked for this to happen. I waited and waited and then you finally asked me. Are you trying to back out, because we can't. All the paperwork has been sent in and filed and approved."
"I-I want th-this more than anyth-thing, well bes-sides you, I'm j-just worried I-I'm going to f-fail at this." Nick pouted, looking down at his shoes. Jeff propped Nick's chin up so their eyes met once again.
"Look at me Nickie. I promise that we will get through this together. We'll fail together, but I need you to know that I am just as nervous. Haven't slept or eaten in two days." he said with a little smile. He needed Nick to calm down and realize that he was just as afraid of the day's upcoming events.
"Jeff, th-that's not g-good. But… But I… I l-love you and I'm g-glad I have y-you." Their lips pressed against each others' with the same intensity and spark as they have had for the last ten years. Just as their lips departed from the other person's the door to the office opened. In walked a nurse with a pink bundle and a person from child services. Nick and Jeff hopped up to their feet and took the bundle of joy from the nurse's arms. Jeff cradled the baby in his arms and Nick wrapped his arms around Jeff's waist.
"Nickie she's beautiful." he said breathlessly, watching the baby sleep in his arms.
"Our l-little girl. Ours." Nick smiled. He stuck his finger out and nudged her hand, and without hesitation she held onto the pinkie finger. Tears filled in his eyes as this occured and all Jeff could do was smile and kiss Nick. Her skin was fair like Nick's and her hair was blond like Jeff's and her eyes were an amazing shade of green.
"What name are we putting on the birth cirtificate?" the child services worker asked holding up a pen. Nick looked at Jeff and replied with a huge smile.
"Guinevere Catherine Peterson-Mathews." They had chose the name for two reasons. One because Guinevere was a character from Nick's favorite guilty pleasure, Merlin. And two, because Catherine was Jeff's mother's name who had recently passed away. Jeff placed baby Gwen into Nick's arms.
"You are gunna grow up and be loved so much by Daddy and Pop-pop." Nick smiled, placing a light kiss on her forehead where her golden curls started.
"Pop-pop loves you very much. And so does Daddy." Jeff said, placing a kiss in the same spot as Nick's. After another few minutes of paper work, they were cleared to leave the hospital with their baby girl. As they strolled out, their hands were intertwined and Jeff held the baby's bouncer in his hand.
"And we lived happily ever after." Nick whispered to Jeff.
"The end." Jeff whispered back, kissing Nick.
Everything was perfect about them, their new daughter, and just life in general. From that day forth they never were unhappy again thanks to the new addition to the Sterling-Duval household.
