This is a chapter which is... going to end in disaster, probably.
I do not own Marvel. Their films would be a lot fluffier if I did.

Nick was so shocked he almost walked right into the wall next to the "staff only" door. Christine and Strange. Again. She was totally ruining her career, too, was his next thought. Strange would drag her down with him: and his career was ice cold, so who would support her when she was at home with a baby? She clearly did not think this through. Elice could have told him that there was another, quite obvious, idea to solve this problem (had it actually been needed) but luckily for Nick, he had never met her.
As he walked down the hallway the wrong way and had to turn around, he tried to get over the disturbing images filling his mind. Strange and Christine. Gah.
Then, even more disturbing, making it necessary for a nurse to rescue him just in time from actually walking into that same door the other way around, Christine having Strange's baby. He was so jealous, all of a sudden - though he wouldn't have admitted it - that he was almost sick on the spot.
Finally, after quite the ridiculous detour, Nick actually reached the staff room door. Part of him was itching to tell everyone who would hear him of this disgrace, the other half was terrified of how silly he himself would look. Oh no no no.
Then, another thought struck him: it was so ridiculous. What if Christine was just mocking him? Setting him up to be the talk, the ridicule of the hospital for falling so easily for her strange prank?
The next moment he was out of time, as he could hardly be seen standing frozen in front of the door to the staff room, and so had to open it.
Then he was standing in the doorway, blinking for a moment before slowly forcing his feet to move, people looking up. Now he had to choose. Was he going to tell them… or was he not?
