Morning After Ch13: Revenge is best served with Hate

Nick's first day off in awhile was unusual and he tries to keep it productive. Tuesday was such an unusual day to have off but the more he thought about it the more it angers him. He goes grocery shopping and some small repairs in the house. He did some laundry; he picked up Wendy's silk nightie from the floor. She slept over last night, and had only been gone for a couple hours and he missed her. Nick wanted her to move in with him but he didn't know how to ask.

Nick sat on his couch putting ice on his jaw, and he looked at his phone. He strongly considers calling his parents or at least his mom. Wendy had encouraged him to because she called her mother and she seemed very uneasy about it. He picked up the phone setting the ice down; he dialed his mom's cell phone.

On the second ring she answers.

"Nick..." she says relieved

"hi ma"

"how have you been? It's been to long"

"I'm alright, how are you?"

"I'm fine, why are you really calling, Nicky?"

"what do you mean?"

"I mean... After everything that happened with your father and you, I didn't know if we would ever hear from you again"

"it's not your fault, ma" he said hearing her tear up in the other end "well, I am..."

"are you hurt? Oh god is it bad?"

"no ma, I'm gonna be a dad"

"oh Nicky my boy, you are going to be a father... Oh my baby is having my baby"

"ma I ain't your baby"

"ok honey... So who is the lucky lady? I didn't know you were seeing anybody, then again we haven't spoken in so long" trying the guilt trip he thought to him

"it's a woman I work with, she's... Great"

"well your father and I have time off coming up on Thursday, I know it's short notice but I would love to come up and visit, if you can get a little time off? I know your father would really want to come up and see you"

"well I do have time off let me talk to Wendy about it"

"how far along is she?"

"almost 6 months"

"oh geez, well call me soon"

"I will"

"talk to you soon"

"I'll call you back" he hung up his phone and sat down bored as can be. He turned on the TV and he flips through the channels. Nick turned off the TV and walked to his bedroom he hisses as he lies on the bed. He takes his shirt off and looks at the bruises on his skin and on his face. Then jumps back on his bed trying to catch up on sleep.

He heard a knock on his door and jumps out of bed. He grabs his tank top and struggles to put it on as he sees who the visitor is.

"Catherine? What are you doing here?"

"are you picking up Wendy up from the lab later?" she said pulling his tank top down for him.

"umm thanks... yea we are going to her prenatal yoga and her Lamaze class... Why is there something wrong?"

"no, I don't know how to tell you this?"

"Am I fired?" Nick said running his hands through his hair deeply frighten. The last thing Nick wants to hear is he has been fired, especially with all that's happened.

"No! No! Sorry the lab is divided" the lab was like a family to Nick, and now people hated because of this Wendy drama.

"what do you mean divided?"

"half the lab is on your side the other half is on Hodges side; this whole drama is really stirred up the lab"

"what do you mean?"

"half the lab typically the lab rats don't like you after this little love triangle, while the half likes you and hates Hodges... Look I got to go Nicky when you get to the lab, believe me you will see" she said leaving, Nick was left trying to figure out what to make of this.

The next four hours went by very slowly and Nick tried to preoccupy his mind surfing the web for baby.

As Nick walked into the lab he immediately felt the tension that Catherine talked about. He walked into his office and grabbed a file and returned to the reception desk.

"hey Judy" Nick said to the receptionist, Judy. Judy turned away and dials on the phone completely ignoring Nick. Nick decides not to fight her ignorance with the truth. He sits down and waits for Wendy; he scans the lab at the passing people.

Nick was stunned to say the least at who was actually on his side and was definitely not half the lab. It was less than half he received some of the worst looks. He was dumfounded that friends he had had for years had easily just left him.

"Hey babe" Wendy said scratching the back of Nick's head.

"hey you ready?"

"let me just give these to Sara I'll be right back"

"ok..." Nick is totally smitten be her presence never ever has a woman had the effect on him before. He watches her leaving before turning his attention back to his phone getting directions.

"you got it bad" Greg said sitting next to him.

"I know man"

"fighting over a girl it's so not you"

"I know but I can't help it but if Ecklie asks tell him it's worth it and I would definitely do it again" Nick said leaving with Wendy.

Later… Nick watches as various women try the impossible positions of yoga; they were all in different stages of their own pregnancy. However Nick is mesmerized by Wendy, she's sweating, her hair is a mess, and the grunts, groans, and moans were almost too much for him. Nick could not take his eyes off of her, not that he wanted too.

"great job ladies! Take a break" Cindy the leader of yoga class, Nick didn't even hear her or Wendy as she asks for her water.

"Nick... Hello?"

"oh sorry, here" Nick said handing Wendy her water bottle. Nick lightly touches her back.

"babe what are you doing?" Wendy says looking confuse at Nick.

"you are so beautiful" Nick said kissing her neck she lightly hugs him giggling against his face. "I can't help but touch you" he resumes kissing her neck and his other hand plays with the bottom of her shirt.

"babe stop" she giggles pushing him away, the whole class starts laughing at Nick and Wendy. Nick was the only man there and made an easy target.

After another hour of positioning her body in uncomfortable positions she was strangely sore. In muscles she wasn't aware could get sore, but she was more than happy to find out that Nick had found her attractive.

2:43am… Nick places small kisses on Wendy's belly bump, the information

Catherine gave Nick was very useful.

"Easy babe I'm sore" Wendy says as she runs her hand through his hair as it tickles her stomach.

"I called my parents today"

"how'd that go?" she said titling his face towards her.

"alright"

"my mom wants to come over with my step father they live close I told them I have to see your schedule"

"I said the same thing but now I have time off my parents want to come up on Thursday. What do you say?"

"I have a big family my parents are adoptive parents and my step dad is a mean guy"

"well I have to meet them eventually... We can have a BBQ; I'll clean out my pool"

"I didn't know you had a pool"

"there's a lot you don't know about me"

"what's that suppose to mean?" Wendy said propping up on one elbow.

"no... okay, this isn't the way I wanted it to happen. Wendy I want you to move in with me so we can be a real family and we can learn more about each other."

"oh well why didn't you just say that?" Wendy said kissing Nick before he could answer "I knew what you were saying I just like to see you sweat it's cute, I would be more than happy to move in with you" they kiss some more. "Thursday seems like a plan"

"yea" Nick said smiling

"I'm nervous"

"me too, but let's talk about it in the morning you have to work and sadly I don't" he kisses her forehead.

The next morning Nick drives Wendy to her apartment and she packs a few boxes and a suitcase.

"oh you're moving out so you can have sex with man candy all the time" Jenny says hugging Wendy and hugging Nick. "I still want to be friends and I want to go to the shower for it"

"ok, see ya, Jenny" Wendy says leaving.

When Nick dropped Wendy off at the lab she witnesses the hatred that Nick faces now. Archie, Henry, and Bobby all shot evil glares at Nick.

"be careful today; don't get caught up in this drama"

"I don't babe, besides Mandy is still cool"

"I know"

"so what are you going do today without me?"

"haha, clean the pool and get ready for our BBQ"

"don't forget to go to the store and pick up some stuff"

"I won't babe" Nick chuckles, Wendy gave him a kiss on the cheek and left. Wendy left and ran to Mandy; her belly was much bigger today. His phone rang it was his mom he had completely forgot to call her back.

"hey ma"

"hey Nicky"

"so everything is set up for tomorrow"

"oh goody your father is really excited to come up"

"we also invited Wendy's parents to come up too, so we are going to have a family BBQ"

"oh goody, I'll flight... is... in late tonight" Jillian, Nick's mom, said her voice breaking up.

"ma..." Nick looks at his phone he had no service "Dammit" he said under his breath he steps out of the car. "I'll call you later" he said as his phone beeps 'call ended' he swore under his breath.

All if a sudden Nick feels something strike his knee and hit his head on door hard he was starring at the ceiling. He couldn't see straight, as the person hits Nick in the chest. Nick raises his hands trying to defend himself with no luck. He couldn't see and has the wind knocked out of him. The figure raises the weapon again and strikes Nick on the head knocking him out cold.
