The camera zoomed in on Nikki's bare and pregnant belly as a gruff voice hummed a tune that sounded a lot like 'Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash. As the camera zoomed out, the scene showed the young couple poolside with Dean's face right by her belly as he sang a few bars of the song and literally poked at her belly. Nikki was giving him a confused look that likely would have been more apparent had she not had her giant sunglasses covering most of her face.
"Excuse me, sir, but what do you think you're doing?" she asked, catching his hand before he could poke her belly again.
Dean looked up at her like a curious child. "I'm singing her a song," he said.
…
"You know, I have to admit that Dean is a very good looking man. He's an amazing wrestler. But this side? The side that sings Johnny Cash to my belly and kisses me because he can…" Nikki paused as she shook her head at the camera, a light smile on her lips and her eyes sparkling. "This is the guy I've totally fallen in love with that not everyone gets to see."
…
"I can hear you singing," Nikki smiled and reached out to run her fingers through Dean's shaggy hair. "But I was referring to your fingers which have taken a habit to poking at me."
"Well sometimes she pokes back," he replied as if she knew exactly why he was doing it in the first place. "I'm bonding here. Teaching her some Johnny Cash. She likes it."
"I'm going to have a Dean shaped tan line if you keep this up," she pouted, giving his curls a bit of a tug. Getting the point, he placed a kiss on her belly despite the cameras around them before lifting himself up to kiss her lips.
…
Dean wore a sheepish smile on his lips. "This show is totally ruining my badass street cred!" he suddenly snapped. "That's it, I gotta put someone through a table, where's that kid who touched my hair? He's going first." And up Dean got from his chair, walking off screen as he mumbled a few more idle threats.
…
Brie sat at the kitchen table with both of her hands wrapped around her cup of tea. She was rolling her lips together as she looked at her sister across the table. "I still think you should get married, Nicole." Nikki gave her sister an exasperated sigh.
…
"So my sister, Brie, came to visit me and the ever growing bundle of joy." Nikki gave her belly an exaggerated rub for the camera. "And it took her about five seconds from entering my home to start going off about how she thinks Dean and I need to get married. I think she's just lonely being the only member of the marriage club and even though I'm giving her a niece, she just can't be happy." Nikki flipped her hair back over her shoulder to emphasize her point.
…
"Please, Brie, for the millionth time, let's not even go there. You better hush up when Dean gets home."
"Why? Will it intimidate him? Maybe he needs a hard shove in the right direction. He impregnated my sister, and I'll be damned if he doesn't do the right thing."
"The right thing? Really Brie? Because this entire situation is just so normal, right? Look, he's here and we're together and he's dedicated to me and this baby, and that's all I need."
"If he's so dedicated, then why won't he just propose?"
"Because he doesn't need to! We're happy, can't you see that? I have a man who loves me and a baby on the way. A man who went out to the store because I was craving Chunky Monkey ice cream! I wanted fucking ice cream and he ran out to get it! And I don't even want ice cream anymore." Nikki broke down into tears right there at the kitchen table. "I don't want ice cream, Brie! But he's out there getting it. I want Cheetos. I just want some Cheetos but he won't get them because I told him ice cream!" Nikki was in full hysterics now and Brie looked like she didn't know what to do. She got up from her seat to comfort her sister.
"It's ok, we can call him, where's your phone?"
Just as Nikki was starting to calm down, the door opened and in walked Dean with his arms full of grocery bags. As if forgetting the cameras would be there, he called out to her and started talking. "Babe! I got the ice cream you wanted and some other stuff. You were talking in your sleep about Cheetos, did you know you do that?" He rounded the corner into camera view with a bag of Cheetos in his hand and Nikki burst out into tears all over again.
…
Dean looked right into the camera with a dumbfounded look on his face. "This happens… All. The. Time," he said in reference to the tears. "All the time!"
