The room went silent.

Eric looked at Nell with eyes wide as saucers, opening and closing his mouth trying to find something to say. Nell stared up at him, chest moving up and down trying to catch her breath after their little "yelling" match. She realized he hadn't said anything after her confession and fearing the worst, she pushed passed Eric and bolted to the bathroom in their bedroom.

"Nell wait!" She didn't listen or stop. She rushed into the bathroom, locking the door once she was inside. He reached the door to late.

He tried to shake the doorknob. "Nell, please open the door."

No answer.

"Please, Nell," he begged," I need to make sure you're okay."

"Why do you care?" Came a sob.

"Because I love you and care about you," he said, then whispered so only he could hear," and the baby."

After five minutes of trying to coax Nell out of the bathroom, Eric heard the soft 'click' of the lock followed by Nell opening the door just enough so he could see her tear-stained face. Eric's heart clenched at the sight of Nell crying knowing very well this was all his fault. 'I shouldn't have acted like that', he thought to himself angrily. He held out his hand, offering it to Nell. Just as he had hoped, she took a hold of his hand and came out, taking slow, cautious steps towards Eric. He pulled her into a tight hug and felt her snuggling into his chest.

Nell pulled back just enough so he could look into the green eyes that had always held love and adoration whenever he looked at her. Eric dipped his head, capturing Nell's lips with his. She rested her hands against his chest and Eric put his hands on her waist, feeling the secret she had been hiding for four days.

The kiss held promises, apologies, and forgiveness. Nell made quiet demands, her tongue running across his lower lip; He obliged, opening his mouth for her to explore. Eric was then brought back to reality when he felt the back of his knees hit the mattress. He pulled back, resting his forehead against hers and brought his hands up to her face, cradling it. Both were panting and flushed.

Nell was the first to speak, "You're not mad?" she whispered. She felt the pads of Eric's thumbs brush her cheeks, wiping away the remaining tears on her face.

" Not one bit." He answered in a soft voice.

"You're not going to leave me?" She asked visibly shaking. Eric pressed a firm kiss to her lips before answering.

"I never want to leave you…I don't ever want you to think that." He said with great intensity. Nell's breathing faltered, but then smiled at Eric. He let go of her face and sat down on the mattress, pulling Nell in between his legs in the process; He came face to face with Nell's stomach. He looked up at her, his eyes asking for permission. Nell nodded and lifted up her shirt, revealing the mound that had been progressively growing. Eric looked at her abdomen in awe, elation written across his face. He brought up his hands, placing them on her growing belly, one thumb making rhythmic movements against her soft skin. Blinking back tears, he removed his glasses, tossing them somewhere behind him and rested his head against her belly.

"Hey there." He breathed, still trying to hold back his tears. He looked up, meeting Nell's eyes that were also close to bursting with tears.

"Oh my god, you're talking to my stomach." She gave a choked laugh.

"Correction, our baby." His heartbeat quickened, euphoria taking over him as he realized what he said. "Our baby." She repeated with a watery smile, one of her own hands traveling lower to rest over one of his hands.

" I will admit one thing though," he began, the corners of his mouth quirking up into a smile," I am kinda mad." Nell smiled back, knowing very well he wasn't really mad. She went along with him.

"Why?"

"I would have loved to know the mo-"

"Moment I found out I was pregnant?" She finished his sentence. She gave him a sheepish smile, "sorry."

"Don't be." He grinned. He lied on the bed, tugging at Nell's arm, inviting her to join him. She took his invitation, laying down so that she faced him.

"Is it too early to ask what sex the baby is?" He asked, brushing Nell's bangs from her forehead.

She nodded her head," No, it's not to early."

Eric blinked, confused. "Then how many we-"

"3 months," Eric's mouth fell open. Nell giggled, her index finger closing his mouth," I have a follow up appointment next week. We can find out then." Eric grinned like it was Christmas morning. He kissed her nose," I would love that very much." Still smiling, Nell turned so that her back was pressed against Eric's body. He reached for the blankets, covering both of them and then wrapping his arms around her waist again. Nell felt his hand slipping under her white shirt, smiling at the soothing movement of his thumb making the motions it had earlier.

"Now that I know about the baby...are you going to stop wearing these shirts that hide your cute baby- bump?"

"I can,"she smirked," But you're going to have to tell Hetty and the team."

"I will; I want them to know I'm having a baby with the person that means the most to me."

"That's sweet," she yawned snuggling closer Eric, unable to fight sleep any longer, " Night Wolfram."

"Night Ununoctium," she felt his thumb move once more, "Night little guy."

She dreams of a little boy with his dirty-blond hair and her hazel eyes.

She's in the kitchen of what she suspects is their home, hearing the screams and giggles of the baby boy, who is try to run away from his father on his chubby little legs; Eric is right behind him, making "monster" noises and saying "I'm gonna catch you and eat you!". She walks into the living room, seeing Eric sweep up the boy with a roar and holding the baby over his head like a prize. He starts to make "nom nom" noises against the baby's soft stomach, the boys laughter filling and lighting up the whole room. She walks over to the pair, the baby noticed her and started to make reaching motions with his chubby hands saying "mama". Nell takes him, smiling as the boy took special intrest in the necklace around her neck, babbling. She kisses his forehead, smiling when he felt Eric's arm slip around her waist. Both were smiling fondly at the boy as he repeated "mama".
