"What are you doing?" Kevin asked, walking into the gray-colored bathroom, eyeing Nazz up and down from behind. Standing a few feet away, the dirty blonde was bent over, looking through every drawer within her reach. "Nazz?" He called louder, but once more, his voice fell on deaf ears as Nazz failed to acknowledge him for her own voice was ringing loudly in her ears. "Nazz?" Kevin hissed as he walked further into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Abruptly, Nazz stood and turned around, facing Kevin. For a second, Kevin believed that he broke through Nazz's haze, but when he realized she was looking past him, he turned and saw a sole unscathed shelf. In an instant, Nazz crossed the room - almost shoving Kevin aside - and began filtering through the shelf. Soon enough, every box and jar that was placed on the self with either open or on the floor, leaving Nazz groaning and beyond a normal level or irritation.

"Nazz?" Kevin called out again but Nazz ignored him and did a small turn, looking for any shelf, cabinet, or drawer that she could have possibly left untouched. Kevin reached out and grabbed Nazz by the arm, stopping her. His long fingers wrapped completely around her petite arm as he gave it a gentle squeeze, enough to get her attention. Looking up, Nazz's deep blue - or maybe even teal - colored eyes met Kevin's green ones as she released a deep breathe she was holding in. "What is going on?" He begged.

"I'm pregnant," she blurted.

"Congratulations," he gasped, pulling her into his arms. "I didn't even know you were trying," he smiled. "That's wonderful," he added as he took a step back and held her at arm's-length. "I come to check on you to only find you destroying my bathroom and pregnant," he laughed, joy filling his voice.

"We just started," Nazz chuckled, giving his hand a tight squeeze.

"I'm thrilled for you guys," happiness laced deeply in his voice. "I know Ed must be happy, he's always wanted to have kids."

"I don't know what to tell him." Nazz nodded along as she spoke, dropping Kevin's to look down at her slim, pale hands. "I don't want to get his hopes up until I'm sure," she admitted. Kevin gave her a confused look as she looked around the bathroom. Which, made it appear as if she was refusing to look him in the eyes. "He's really excited about this," she nodded again.

"You just think you're pregnant?" Kevin stepped back, cocking his eyebrow at his lifelong friend.

"I'm late," she stated. "I mean, I am never late. This is odd for me," she smacked at his shoulder once Kevin began to shake his head in disbelief. "Never."

"So this," he gestured to the room around them, "isn't even real?"

"Kevin!" She yelled but he looked at her as if she was insane.

"I'm just trying to understand!" He admitted. Nazz groaned and turned away from him, looking around the bathroom briefly before she began her tirade once more.

"I can't find a freaking pregnancy test," she admitted, throwing a box of bandages on the floor.

"Wait," Kevin held his hands up. "I hugged you and you haven't even peed on a stick yet?"

"I can't find them," she whined. Kevin rolled his eyes and crossed the bathroom towards the sink. Bending over, Kevin opened up a cabinet and pulled out a box of pregnancy tests. In an instant, Nazz snatched the box from him and opened it. Smiling wide, she pulled out a single test.

"Tell Ed now or later," Kevin broke through her brief moment of happiness. "Tell me when it's real," he called as he began walking to the door.

"Wait!" Nazz yelled, stopping Kevin in his tracks. Looking over his shoulders, Kevin hummed for Nazz to continue. "Why do you even have a box of pregnancy tests in your bathroom?"

"I steal stuff from the hospital," he humped his shoulders, no shame in his response. "You never know." Nazz laughed and Kevin gave a small chuckle. "Besides," he added, "Edd is an OBGYN. You'd be surprised by how much 'female stuff' we have lying around the house." Kevin shook his head and kept walking. "It's a hobby of mine to steal stuff from the hospital, haven't got caught yet."

"Touché," she laughed and Kevin closed the bathroom door, silently hoping that she was pregnant; he's always wanted to be an uncle.
