Ch6: Bad Romance

Nick was frozen he didn't know how he ended up in DB's office. Nick felt himself shut down. He didn't care for anything or for his job as DB gave them yet another lecture. Nick couldn't help but stare at Finn as they sat across from each other.

"… You are lucky that Ecklie is still dealing with all the aftermath of McKeen. You are acting totally unprofessional. This is supposed to be the best lab in the country! This has to stop." DB said angry. Both the men remained quiet as Nick finally pulled his eyes away from Finn's.

"I know… I know how to get this to stop." Finn said getting everyone's attention. "I know it seems like I have taken a backseat to this whole thing. But I know how to get control of this and get all the drama to stop. I've made some mistakes and I know that and it's not fair for me string you both along anymore. I have decided to have a prenatal pregnancy test." Finn said nervous.

"Wha… what does that mean?" Nick asked looking scared and confused at the same time.

"I am going to have a CVS test done." Finn said while Moreno nodded in approval and Nick nodded in disapproval.

"Good, do it." Moreno said feeling slightly relieved.

"No… how can you tell her to get that done? There has to be a risk?!" Nick said excited. "I'm all for determining the paternity but not at the sake of the child." Nick said slightly angry.

"Do you have any better ideas… lover boy?" Moreno asked, Nick felt his body flush with anger yet again.

"What did you just call me?" Nick growled, Nick immediately thought of Patrick.

"Aye, aye now. Settle down. You both are on dangerously thin ice." Brass warned stepping between the middle of the sitting men putting a hand on Nick's shoulder. "Be easy, Nicky." Brass said.

"All I'm saying is that the only thing that is for certain is that the baby is Finn's. I don't want you to feel pressured." Nick said Finn shook her head. There Nick went sending her mixed signals again.

"I created this mess and I need to fix it. Not just for you guys but for me and my child. I want to do this." Finn said trying to stand strong and independent.

"The decision, ultimately is Finn's and I'm sure. She will make the best one." DB said showing his full support.

"I know she will." Nick said smiling.

Later on Finn tried to call Nick to see if they could talk. She had to get things off her chest and see if Nick would finally open up about why he's been acting so weird. She couldn't stand it anymore. She needed to know. That is why she called him several times each time getting his voicemail which was always full. So Finn drove to herself to his house and saw two cars in his driveway. She recognized his Tahoe but not the other car. She tries to call him again but again gets his voicemail. Finn grinds her teeth and goes to his door and knocks. She started to grow frustrated as she wasn't answered so she knocked louder.

"Hold on!" she heard Nick shout from inside. She saw a light turn on and saw a glimpse of him as he got closer to the door. He was wearing nothing but a pair of his black Nike sweats that were still too big and hugged his hips low. "Finn…" Nick said stepping outside shutting the door behind, his skin was clammy yet flushed. Finn had seen Nick like this before and her eyes immediately went wide. Finn realized why Nick hadn't been picking up his phone and immediately felt embarrassed.

"Oh…" Finn said trying not to be awkward. "I was wondering if I could talk to you."

"Umm… Sure…" Nick said sitting on a patio chair motioning for Finn to sit in the chair across from him and she did. "What's up?"

"Nick, I'm going to real with you. I need to know why you are acting like this. Your sudden changes in attitude are really confusing me." Finn said, Nick nodded smoothing his hair. "Is it about me? The baby?"

"I'll be honest…" Nick said giving Finn an instant rush of nerves and butterflies. "It's both." Nick said not wanting to have this conversation with Finn here or ever.

"Okay…" Finn said unsure what to say. "What can I do?"

"Nothing…" Nick said confusing Finn.

"Nick, you are a great guy. But, don't get that I'm asking… why isn't it that you already have kids? You have a good job? You're nice, good looking… why don't you already have a couple brats running around?"

"With this job you know we see a lot of bad things especially when it comes to the children. I didn't want to bring anyone into this dark world." Nick said wiping his mouth. "Usually I'm a lot more careful." Nick chuckled.

"Nick, we've had unprotected sex twice."

"I know. But when we were together, protection wasn't even on my mind." Nick chuckled both times Finn and him were together they were caught in the moment and their heads weren't clear. Nick turned his head and saw Maverick at the door scratching it.

"He looks a little more active then the last time I saw him." Finn chuckles trying to avoid an awkward silence. Nick saw Lauren come to the door and Finn watched his face fall as he quickly sprang to his feet stopping her at the door.

"Hey, where'd you go?" Lauren whispered to him. She was wearing one of his shirts her hair showing signs of just sexed. Lauren held the waistband of Nick's sweats showing Finn that he was hers. Finn smiled and shook her head. If only she knew, Finn thought.

"I'll be right back inside." Nick said, Lauren pouted and Nick smiled. "I promise."

"Okay." Lauren said walking inside letting Maverick out. Nick sat down and Maverick lay at Finn's feet.

"Does she know?" Finn asked rubbing her stomach.

"No… you better not tell her." Nick said seeing a strange look come over Finn's face. "She and I weren't together when we got together and all of this started."

"Why?" Finn thought that Lauren and he had been in a long committed relationship.

"The first time you and I were together I was dating Lauren and I told her and she dumped me." Nick said trying to be as honest as he could be with her while keeping his cool he felt his nerves creep up on him again. "We started talking again when I was at physical therapy she was one of the nurses there."

"Is she the reason you're acting like this?" Finn asked slightly angry and excited.

"No…" Nick said annoyed.

"She is!" Finn said standing.

"No! Please lower your voice." Nick said in a harsh whisper. "I don't want her to hear you."

"I can't believe you." Finn said disgusted because this whole time she thought she was the problem when it was Nick worrying about his girlfriend.

"You don't know what you're talking about." Nick said also standing. "There you go jumping to conclusions again."

"You make it pretty easy to jump to conclusions when you don't tell me anything!"

"What the hell do you want me to tell you?" Nick growled. "We don't know each other and you're expecting a whole hell of a lot from me but not your boyfriend. I haven't missed an appointment and I have been there, what do you want from me?"

"You've been there physically but not mentally." Finn argued back.

"What the heck does that even mean? I don't have to explain anything to you!" Nick waved her off going to his door. "I'll see you tomorrow at the doctor's." Nick said defeated going inside. Tomorrow they were going to find out the sex of the baby.
