Here you go, a bit of fluff for you :) I'm in a good mood because college doesn't start until 11:30 tomorrow, which means I'm not getting up at 6. Yay! Please review, you know you want to!

For once, Nikki was actually ready before her friends arrived. She was slightly nervous that things would be awkward but put those thoughts from her mind. Today had been a good day. Her baby was fine, Leo was okay about their relationship and Harry, well Harry had been amazing all day.

The doorbell rang at quarter past seven, fifteen minutes before everyone was due to arrive. Nikki opened the door to find her boyfriend holding a large bunch of flowers.

"Hello." She greeted him, moving aside so that he could enter.

"Hey, I've bought you some flowers." Harry replied, looking very please with himself. "And I was wondering if you needed any help with the cooking."

"Thanks Harry, they're lovely. You shouldn't have. And you didn't want to help with dinner, you knew there wouldn't be much left to do now apart from adding the stock."

"And I can't help with that?"

"It's kind of a one person job."

"But it's practically the only thing I can do in the kitchen." He argued.

"That and burn everything." She retorted and went to check on the food.

Five minutes later the doorbell rang again, signalling the arrival of the other two guests. Nikki greeted them both and motioned for them to go through to the living room, saying that dinner would be ready in about ten minutes.

"So, exactly how long have you two been dating?" Janet asked the younger couple over dinner.

"Three weeks." Nikki replied, with a smile on her face.

"And you don't mind that she's carrying someone else's child?" She innocently questioned further, wanting to be sure that neither of her friends would end up hurt, even though it was quite clear that they were madly in love.

Harry and Nikki shot each other a look and shifted uncomfortably in their seats.

"About that..." Harry started.

"It's yours?" The older woman exclaimed, clearly very observant and quick to catch on to things, part of why she was so good at her job. The younger man nodded and reached out to hold Nikki's hand.

"We were drunk." He said, unsure as to why he felt like he had to explain his actions.

"And to be honest I think it's the best mistake they have ever made." Leo cut in. "It would have been at least another ten years before you started dating and I don't think any of us could stand the sexual tension for that long."

"Oh come on Leo we weren't that bad." Nikki said.

"You were, believe us." Janet replied and everyone burst out laughing.

Later that night when Leo and Janet had gone home and Nikki was curled up on her sofa resting her head on Harry's chest while he wrapped his arm around her waist and held her close to him, he noticed that she was being rather quiet.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, just tired that's all."

"I can go if you want."

"No it's fine, you don't have to." She said, and then started to worry. "Unless you want to go, that is."

"I'd rather stay here with my beautiful girlfriend." Harry replied, causing Nikki to blush as he always did when he complimented her and her heart to leap a little when he called her his girlfriend. She smiled contently and snuggled up closer to Harry. "Are you sure there's nothing bothering you."

"No, it's just me being silly."

"So there is something." He countered.

"It's just when Janet said about me carrying another man's baby it made me feel dirty, like she thought I was a slut who just slept around."

"Firstly, Nikki, you are not a slut, okay? Don't ever call yourself one." He said firmly. Nikki started to interrupt him but he silenced her with a quick kiss before moving on. "And secondly, Janet didn't mean it like that, you know she didn't. She wasn't implying anything, I promise. She was just making sure we were happy."

Nikki thought about this for a moment and nodded her head in agreement.

"Sorry, I don't know why I acted like that about it. I guess I just took it the wrong way."

"You don't need to apologise, Nik."

"Do you want to stay here tonight?" Nikki asked.

"No it's okay I should be getting home. I don't want to be any hassle."

"You won't be, really. You can even stay in my bed with me." She said. "Not for sex, just to sleep." Nikki clarified, certain that she could see Harry scheming.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Harry smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead, before pulling her closer to him.

After about half an hour of comfortable talk, Nikki was starting to feel even more tired and decided to go to bed. She tried to get up but Harry quickly grabbed her, pulled her back down and starting tickling her, making her giggle and squirm.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.

"Bed, you coming?" Nikki replied with a smile and turned to walk to her bedroom, Harry hot on her heels.
