11. I ought to kill you right there

Nick was surprised at how easy his relationship with Monroe seemed to be. That is, until Monroe started getting sick.

After finishing up some paper work, he swung by Rosalee's shop for some answers. The little bell above the door jingled merrily to let Rosalee know someone had entered the store. She looked up from the book she was going through and smiled. "Hey, Nick! What's up?"

"Well, I have some questions, and I'm wondering if you can help," Nick said.
The shop keeper closed her book and replied, "Shoot."

Nick rubbed the back of his neck with one hand, feeling slightly awkward. "Well, you know I'm in Monroe's spare bedroom now, right?" She nodded, and told him to continue.

"I've kind of been noticing, he's been kind of sick lately. I was wondering if it was Wesen related, at all. Sometimes in the mornings, he'll sleep in or throw up and just not do pilates for that day." Rosalee's eyes widened. She knew how important Monroe's morning pilates routine was, and for him to skip it meant something had to be seriously wrong.

"Any other symptoms? Rashes, sweating, maybe glazed eyes?" She asked, turning to the bookshelves and reading the spines. Nick shook his head, and responded, "No, he just says he's nauseous all the time. And he's got some odd sleep patterns. Otherwise he's normal."

Nick shivered and Rosalee placed a hand on his shoulder. Concerned she asked, "Nick, are you alright?" He laughed and nodded. "Sorry," he said. "I was just thinking, almost a year ago it was Monroe's kid who was here." Rosalee grinned and turned back to her work. Nick said goodbye and headed out the door.

The next day he got a call at work, from Rosalee. He answered the phone casually so his partner wouldn't get suspicious. When Rosalee asked for him to come to the store the second he had a chance, he became slightly worried. He promised to meet her again once he was done with work.

The door chimed when Nick entered and Monroe turned to glare at the Grimm. "I ought to kill you right there," Monroe growled. Nick's eyes grew wide and he glanced over to Rosalee who was sitting behind the counter, looking way to cheerful.

"Why? What did I do?" Nick managed to say with a stutter.

"The one time I let you top, the one time I cave in to you," Monroe said. "You freaking knock me up."
