Nicole had decided to go on birth control. She had lost the baby a month ago. She decided to stop doing karate for a little while. She tried to keep herself busy with school and work to keep her mind off of it. Robby wasn't helping much. He'd been distant. It was getting to the point where Nicole was questioning whether or not Robby loved her anymore. He refused to talk about the baby with her. He wasn't loving towards her anymore Nicole was at school getting things out of her locker. Hawk came up to her.

"Hey." He said.

"Hi Eli."

"Are we still meeting up to work on our history project today?"

"Yeah."

"You look tired Nic."

"I am."

"Did you have another dream about the baby?"

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you call me?" "I told you you could whenever you needed to."

"I know." "I just didn't want to bother you again."

"It's no bother." The bell rang.

"See you tonight "

"Ok."

Dimitri came up to him.

"You need to stop doing this." Dimitri said.

"Doing what?"

"I know you like her."

"No I don't." "We're just friends."

"Yeah because she's dating Robby."

"You don't know what you're talking about."

At lunch Nicole was sitting with Sam. Sam felt for Nicole. She knew she was depressed and unhappy. Not just because of losing the baby but because of Robby. She knew they'd been having problems.

"Still having trouble with Robby?" Sam asked.

"Yeah." "I'm um, thinking about breaking up with him."

"It's gotten that bad?"

"Yeah, it sucks because I still love him but I don't know how much more I can take." She said sadly.

Later that night Nicole and Hawk were at a restaurant eating and working on their project. The check came.

"Shit, I left my purse in the car." Nicole said.

"I got it." He said taking out his wallet.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Thank you."

"No problem."

After taking Hawk home, Nicole went to the Cobra Kai dojo to spend the night with Robby. Part of her didn't even know why she was bothering. She went inside they were alone. He was hitting the practice dummy.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." He said going over to her and kissing her on the cheek, but it was in a very unloving way

They were laying on the air mattress. Robby was once his side faced away from her.

"Robby do you still love me, do you still want to be with me?" She asked with tears in her eyes.

"Why would you ask me that?" "Of course I love you and of course I want to be with you."

"I know you're upset about the baby, I am to "

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Robby-

"Nicole I don't want to talk about it!" He snapped. "Shut up!"

"Ok." She cried herself to sleep.
