Ch7: Processing


Moreno came to this appointment, slightly excited to see whether or not if Finn's baby was a boy or a girl. The fact that this was going to be the same place doing Finn's CVS Test in a few hours didn't give him any peace of mind. Nick sat across from the pair while on his phone. Finn assumed with Lauren. The nurse called Moreno to get his DNA sample and health information, Nick already gave his at the last appointment.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." Nick said also leaving. Finn nodded not wanting anything to say to Nick. She turned to where Nick was sitting and saw his phone in the seat. It must have fallen out of his pocket when he stood up. Finn takes his phone initially fearing that someone would take it. She sees that it is still lit and see Lauren.

Finn has a serious battle of the devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. Should she take the number because she knew Nick would never tell Lauren about her and the baby. She couldn't be the one to tell her though she needed to stay out of Nick's business but his business started to become her business especially if this was his child. They would be connected forever. Finn bites her lip and puts the number in her phone.

"Julie Finlay." The nurse said, Finn put her phone in her pocket just as Nick came out of the bathroom.

"Coming." Finn said handing Nick his phone as Moreno followed. "You dropped this."

"Thank you." Nick said his voice smooth and relaxed so that everyone could hear his accent. His accent reminder her of better times between her and Nick. Even though they were kind of mad at each other it always faded once they were together. Nick felt his inner demons go at bay and wanted to apologize to Finn for being such an ass but as long as Moreno was around there was little chance of that happening.

"You ready to find out what you have?" the nurse said, she had a southern accent. This wasn't Finn's usual nurse and Nick smiled and found comfort in the woman's accent.

"Yes." Finn said smiling laying back on the table as the nurse squirted the gel on her stomach.

"alrighty, sug' well let's get to It." the nurse said spreading the gel.

"Where are you from?" Nick said the nurse smiled.

"Dallas, Texas. How 'bout you sug?"

"Belton." Nick said smiling.

"No way." The nurse said chuckling.

"Yes ma'am." Nick said smiling. Finn felt a ping of jealousy that that nurse had gotten more attention than her. Finn quickly dismissed the thought from her head realizing her silly she sounded.

"It's always comforting to here a southern voice." The nurse said starting the ultrasound.

"I hear that." Nick chuckled as everyone turned their attention to the monitor.

"Wanna hear the heartbeat?" the nurse asked Finn. Finn nodded staring at the monitor she wasn't exactly sure what she should be looking for. Sound the baby's heartbeat filled the room and both men tried to hide their smiles. "A nice healthy heartbeat." The nurse said happy.

"So what is it?" Finn asked eagerly. Nick and Moreno both turned and looked at the nurse.

"You're carrying a healthy baby boy." The nurse said Finn smiled and hugged Moreno who looked somewhat excited. Nick buried his face in his hands. If the child was his he was excited that it wasn't a girl. Raising a daughter as a single dad would be something Nick would've lost his mind. "Congratulations!" the nurse said wiping Finn's stomach off.

As Finn and the men walked out of the doctors' she started to think what the child would look like. Would it have Nick's killer smile, or Moreno's glorious complexion? Nick's brown eyes or Moreno's lips? Or what if the child looked like her? Soon she would finally have answers to at least some of these questions.

"I guess I will see you at the lab." Nick said smiling at Finn. Finn smiled back at him she cursed herself for letting Nick just play with her mind but she couldn't help it. Nick looked at Moreno and just nodded and left to his own vehicle.

"Yeah." Finn said more so to herself then to anyone else.

"I will pick you up after…" Moreno stuttered waiting to get Finn's attention. "After your procedure." Moreno said starting to second guess his standing.

"Yeah thank you." Finn said looking at him seeing the worry on his face.


After shift Greg, Sara, and Nick went to their favorite diner. One they have been going to for years. This was there sanctuary to just be friends and bust on each other. A place to escape the cruelties of their job and unwind before going home. The waitress came and brought them there respected drinks.

"So, Nick, I got to ask you something?" Greg asked taking a quick swig from his beer as Nick took a long one.

"Don't ask him." Sara said slapping Greg in the arm. Nick had a confused and questioning look on his face.

"No, I'm going to ask him." Greg said defiant but breaking into laughter as did Sara. Nick just grew more confused.

"Ask me what? Y'all, are scaring me?" Nick said holding his beer adjusting uncomfortably in his seat.

"Rumor mill…" Greg started and Nick rolled his eyes. "Rumor is that Finn is preggo and you the baby daddy?" Greg laughed. Nick chuckled and shook his head.

"No comment." Nick said causing their eyes to grew wide. "Mind your business with that one." Nick said slightly growing agitated.

"Well…" Sara said trying to change the subject but was interrupted by Greg.

"Come on." Greg teased. "Your guys' week in 'Frisco didn't get a little frisky?"

"Shut up." Nick chuckled drinking his beer.

"Come on boys…" Sara said sipping her own drink.

"You know Sar if you are going to keep drinking with us you can't keep making us order you these lady drinks." Greg teased Nick laughed.

"Lady drinks?" Sara said.

"Listen anything with fruit or ends in 'tini we can't order for you anymore." Nick stated, his phone buzzed as Lauren called him. He ignored the call turning his attention back towards the conversation.

"Thank you." Greg said high fiving Nick.

"What is wrong with them?" Sara defended.

"Nothing is wrong with them. But when I go out to the bartender and order a martini its weird." Greg teased fighting laughter. Nick smiled fighting the urge to laugh so that he didn't spit his beer out. Nick's phone buzzed again with a text message. They watched his face fell.

I'm outside. I need to talk to you NOW! The message read. Nick wiped his face and finished his beer.

"Trouble in paradise?" Sara teased trying to keep the mood up.

"Something like that." Nick said leaving seeing Lauren standing in front of his Tahoe. "Hey babe." Nick said but Lauren put her hand up looking away.

"Save it." Lauren said, Nick put his hands on his hips and prepared for an argument.


Morgan and DB arrive at the diner a little later to join the team for some drinks and breakfast. Morgan and DB slow the stride hearing and seeing Nick in a very heated argument with Lauren. They quickly walk into the diner finding Greg and Sara who were watching Nick and Lauren's argument from inside. Greg motioned for them to sit as they were blocking their view.

"Sit. Sit." Sara said.

"How long has this been going on?" Morgan asked just as eager as Greg and Sara. Db chuckled at them all.

"About twenty minutes." Greg asked. They watch as Lauren yells and yells at Nick. Nick rolled his eyes and looks away. Lauren immediately stopped and a fierce look of fury crossed her face and she slapped Nick.

"Oooh," DB said covering his mouth. "That looked like it hurt."

"That's the fourth one." Sara said taking Greg's toast. Greg immediately pouted. "That's for making fun of my drink." She said smiling.

Lauren pushes Nick away and starts to leave. Nick tries to stop her and she slaps him again. Nick calls for her but Lauren wiped her eyes and left him. Nick looked angry and ran his hands in his hair several times. Nick comes back his face red from anger and Lauren's several slaps. Nick orders a beer and sits back down. Nick faked a smile as everyone stared at him eager to find out what just happened.

"Lauren broke up with me." Nick said getting angry again. DB put a hand on Nick's shoulder.

"It'll be alright." DB said, which just caused Nick to get angrier.

"No, no its not. Finn called her told her everything!" Nick yelled slamming his fists on the table. "I can't believe she would do that to me. I have don't everything I am suppose to do. I've gone to every appointment! What the hell?! Because I won't share my feelings with her she…"

"Who's the owner of a black Tahoe?" the owner shouted as everyone turned their attention to the window and saw Lauren standing on Nick's car hitting it with a pipe.

"You got to be kidding me?!" Nick exclaimed running out as the team followed.
