A quick one shot on how Nick looses it with Bethany's bullies. Bens scenes were amazing but wish there were some Ali scenes too! I wanted to see Carlas reaction when Sarah asked her to be Harry's godmother.

"Hey." Carla said as Nick walked through the door.

"Hey." He replied quietly.

"Are you ok?" Carla asked as he hung up his jacket.

"Ok? No! I threw a handbag on the pavement and completely lost it!" Nick shouted.

"But you meant well! They were bullying Bethany weren't they?" Carla said raising her voice.

"I just lost it." Nick mumbled sitting down next to Carla. "I just lost it. It was like I had no control!" He said a bit louder, a tear escaping his eye.

"Babe." Carla said hugging him tightly, feeling close to tears herself. She had only seen Nick cry a few times and found it very hard to watch. "You were protecting your niece."

"But I-I lost-"

"Yes but it wasn't your fault! You were protecting Bethany!"

"But I embarrassed and scared her!" Nick said.

"But you also scared her bullies, didn't you?" Carla said trying to make Nick feel better.

"They'll tease her about her psycho uncle! I've just made it a 100 times worse!"

"Or maybe you've made it better?" Carla said resting her head in Nick's shoulder.

"I doubt it!" Nick said kissing her head gently. "I think my brain damage is getting worse!" Nick admitted quietly.

"Really? Since when?" Carla asked concerned.

"A few days ago. I've just been having some bad headaches and today I just completely lost it!"

"Why didn't you say?"

"I didn't want you to worry."

"Well we'll get through it together. I'll always be by your side!"

"Thanks. I love you." Nick said kissing her gently.

"I love you too Nicky! Now, I've got something that'll cheer you up!" Carla said smiling.

"I'm not really in the mood!"

"No, not that!" Carla said laughing slightly.

"What then?" Nick said, still feeling down.

"This!" Carla said handing Nick a pregnancy test. "Surprise!" She added as Nick looked at the test.

"You're pregnant?" Nick asked his eyes shining with excitement.

"Yes! I took a test this morning. I've been waiting to tell you all day."

"Sorry babe, it's been a busy day!"

"Yeah, it has for some. Carla said poking Nicks cheek gently. So what do you think?" Carla asked.

"About what?"

"Potatoes! A baby, you idiot! What do you think about this baby?" Carla laughed excitedly.

"Well, we'll make it work. We have enough money, we have family that support us, we're buying a new house and moving away."

"So are you pleased?"

"Yes, defiantly!" Nick said, pulling Carla in for a hug.

"Me too! I can't believe I'm going to be a mum!" Carla said, resting her head on Nicks chest, listing to the sound of his heartbeat. "Are you surprised?"

"A little, but it's a good surprise!" Nick said happily.

I know the ending wasn't very good but I couldn't think of a better one.
