Chapter 16 (I think): I Don't Kick and Tell

Disclaimer: I don't own the ID channel (but I love it) or any of there shows

This chapter is dedicated to my close friend CSIsnickers101 and her amazing story Endeavour. Love you girl!

It was Sara and Nick's first night together and they both took the night off to "unpack" but that really meant "sit on the couch in the living room eating ice cream straight out of the carton surrounded by Sara's boxes". They were watching 48-hour mystery on the ID channel.

"This show is depressing Sar,"

"This is our life Nick"

Nick snuggled closer with Sara.

"Ohhh…Ouch" Sara said gripping her stomach.

"What?" Nick asked sitting up.

"She's kicking" Sara grabbed his hand and pressed it on against her belly.

A smile instantaneously popped up on his face. "Wow…this is amazing"

Their baby kicked for a few more minutes then stopped. Sara let go a breath of relief. Nick wrapped his arm around Sara.

"So what do you wanna name our little girl?'

"Actually I really don't know"

"Amber?"

"No"

"Jessica?"

"Middle name maybe"

"Ryan?"

"No"

"Kristine?"

"No"

"Maci?"

"No"

"So you have no idea"

Sara smirked at him "Well it's stupid"

"I bet it's not"

"Poppy Nicole Stokes"

"Named after me huh?"

Sara nodded "Do you like it?'

Nick leaned in and gave Sara a passionate kiss on the lips. "I love it"

"Good" Sara smiled

"So you wanna take another night off tomorrow to decorate the babies room up a little?"

"I would love that"

"We can paint her room"

"Not pink"

"Pink is the regular baby girl color" Nick laughed

"But its so common"

Nick chuckled "Purple?"

"No"

"You're so stubborn"

"I know"

The next night Sara called in "sick" because of puking, while Nick called in to help her out. But they were actually starting to work on the babies' room. Nick was wearing old boxers and a T-Shirt, while Sara was wearing an old tank top and sweats. They moved out all of the furniture to the hallway put on some music and began working. They decided on painting the room yellow and putting up a long strip of pink teddy bear wallpaper that covered the length of the room. After about fifteen minutes in Sara sat on the floor and groaned.

"What's wrong babe?" Nick said glancing at her while still painting

"My back is killing me" she groaned

"Do you want me to finish up here while you lay down?"

"No, I just need to take a quick break" Sara said rubbing her hands over her stomach.

"Okay" Nick said not completely convinced.

Sara went and laid down on the couch for a little bit, while Nick finished up his wall and moved on to the next. When Sara came back Nick was singing to some country song that was giving her a headache she changed the radio station.

"You feelin' better?" he asked

"I'm fine"

"Okay you sure you don't want me to finish up in here? I'll be fine by myself"

"No, no, no I want to help" she said picking up a paint roller.

Nick smiled to himself. Sara was his girl.

An hour and two breaks later the room was painted and drying. When the room finished drying they were going to put up the cute little wallpaper they had agreed on. When they were down Sara and Nick sat the middle of the floor back to back, satisfied with there work.

"Nick?"

"Sara?"

"Do you think our baby will like it in here?"

Nick turned so he was facing Sara "She'll love it"

Sara leaned in and hugged him. Because Nick had what she needed.

Support. Love. Happiness. And good hugs.
