After Nick served in world war two as a lothario (along with daughter Amy), he and the dying Alice Frazetta Mankiewicz still lived in Pigeon Hole, which had become a shanty industry metropolis post-war thanks to the opening of a Buzz Cola factory nearby.

A neighbourhood doctor who's a bit too ahead of his time (after diagnosing Margot and Stuart with moderate autism) had revealed that Alice had a heart condition like her son Danny. Nick was pretty happy that he had to make sex with her and surprisingly assault her as a last case scenario (until she died of such a condition).

He even intimidated her with his fairly rowdy sex toys, letting her to lie down in order to make a frigging last child! In a night of sex, he slipped her with the sperms of his protegees Mr Cortlandt and Mr Palmer, resulting in a healthy, surviving foetus and ultimately a child he had to care for.
