Nick smirked lightly, of course there would be a tube tying joke. He shook his head lightly, "Well hopefully you won't have to do that..." He looked over at her with a brave look on his face. "I don't know what my mom will say, but I don't really care. I've been working hard for everything I've been doing. I shaped up and got at least C's in all of my classes this year. Once I graduate I'll hit community college and we'll work our way from there." He licked his lips, "But if I had to give you an answer, I'd say she'll probably be alright as long as no one dies. She's been a huge optimist lately, since Malachi's been back home."

Tess ran her free hand through her hair and sighed. "I've been meaning to ask you about him. When did he get back exactly? I mean it's not like today was the first time I saw him, but I was too preoccupied with other things to ask. He doing better?" She didn't know the whole story, but she knew enough about it to know that him being back home must mean he was in better shape. "I highly doubt anyone is going to die, I mean unless this baby is the next Dahmer or something and s/he starts murdering upon birth." It still wasn't funny, she was beginning to think the only one who'd make her laugh today would be Gage.

Nick nodded at his girlfriend, "Well he got back like a month ago. It wasn't like a big deal, he didn't want anyone to fuss over it. He's just been hanging around the house, mostly, but he's doing a lot better. That is he hasn't tried to K-I-L-L himself since the first few weeks he was at Grandma and Grandpa's house..." He brushed his hair out of his eyes and looked over at her again. He smiled, "Exactly. Mom will probably be perfectly fine. A bit distraught, but fine." He looked over at Gage and then looked at Tess again before fixing his eyes on the road, "I'm more concerned about him."

Tess furrowed her eyebrows and turned to look at Gage. "Your worried about Gage? Or Malachi?" After thinking about it a little more she was sure he meant worried about Malachi. "Do you think he'll be mad?" She knew that wasn't what he meant either, but it was still a legitimate question. She couldn't remember if he'd been really upset with Nick the first time around.

Nick shrugged, "I don't know, he might get mad," he said, he still really couldn't care less what his family thought. He loved them, and he was glad that his mom was still supporting him, but as for their input on his life, he'd honestly had enough of it. "I was actually talking about our son though. How do you think he'll be if we have another?" he asked lightly, not trying to freak her out, but he might not like the idea of sharing the attention with another baby.

Tess' eyes grew wide, she really hadn't thought he meant Gage. "I honestly don't know. He might absolutely hate the idea of having someone else to compete with for attention." She glanced at Gage. "Or he might just surprise us and decide he's going to be the best big brother in the world and try to help out." She glanced at Nick and started laughing. The chances of that happening were slim to none, Gage was a great baby, but he never had to share anything with someone his age. If he wanted attention in the Richards' home from someone he usually got it. Zane would play with him, mommy was always available, grandpa spoiled him to death. He'd been too young to remember Maze. "Does he ever have to compete for attention at your house with Daylin?"

Nick smirked at her, "Yeah right. Our kid? We are thinking about the same one now, right?" he asked, joking of course. "He's an attention hog. It's kind of ridiculous." He shook his head lightly again and glanced over at her. "I guess we won't know. Hopefully he'll try to be the big brother..." He sighed lightly and listened to her question, he thought about it for a minute but then shook his head. Daylin was old enough that she didn't really compete with him for attention. Sure she would try to get their attention while they were tending to Gage, but for the most part, she just wanted to play with him. "With Edward sometimes, but usually he wins out and Daylin will find someone else to get her what she wants."

"Crossing my fingers he takes to a new sibling." She crossed her fingers and stared out the window. "I'm glad Daylin is like that honestly." She sighed, she was afraid when they finally got the test she wouldn't need to pee. "I'm nervous."

Nick licked his lips and nodded at her, he pulled into the parking lot and found a spot really fast. He put the car into park and turned off the engine. "Alright, let's go get some snacks," he said, raising his eyebrows at Tess as he exited the car and went to the back drivers-side door to get Gage out. He set him down on his feet and closed the door. He took the little boy's hand and waited for Tess to meet them before he started toward the door. He looked at her with her words and nodded, "Yeah, me too..."

Tess got out of the car and joined the boys on the other side. "Hey Gage, what snacks are we getting again?" She asked, just for the sake of saying something. She was eager to get inside, to get a test and something to drink and go take it immediately. "I should calm down huh?"

"Chips and Yucky Charms!" Gage said excitedly, bouncing a little as he walked toward the store with his parents. Nick smiled down at his young son and licked his lips, looking back up to Tess. "Hey, c'mere," he said, lifting his arm and folding it around her shoulders. "It'd be good for you if you calmed down, but I'm not going to tell you that you should. You have every right to freak out." He kissed her cheek gently, still walking the whole time.

Tess melted into his side and sighed again. "I will try to hold it together for everyone's sake then." She grabbed a shopping basket when they got into the door and held it in the crook of her free arm. "Should we get the snacks first or the other thing?" She asked with a look at Gage walking on the other side of his daddy.

Nick licked his lips and bit his lip at her question, "I'm thinking snacks first and let him look at the box of cereal so he won't ask about what else we're getting?" he said quietly to her, asking her opinion, but also starting toward the food instead of the feminine products. He looked down at Gage who was looking around the store like he usually did when they came. He sighed lightly and looked back over to Tess. "So do you want any other snacks besides 'chips and yucky charms'?" he asked with a smirk, hoping to cheer her up a little.

Tess nodded in agreement, that was a sound plan, give the kid a box of cereal and he could entertain himself for hours. "I don't think I'm ready to eat anything, if you want something go for it." She kept her eyes on the tiles beneath her feet, afraid if she glanced up she'd start to feel nauseous again. "Yucky charms and chips will be fine, maybe some juice, Sunny D, perhaps?" She smiled, remembering her favorite movie, and happy she could cheer herself up a bit about the situation.

Nick nodded lightly at her, but he didn't think he'd actually get anything, aside from something to drink. He licked his lips and smiled t Tess. "I'm thinking Sunny D is a very good idea." He looked down at Gage and then lifted him up with one arm to carry him on his hip. "You want some Sunny D too, Gage?" he asked gently.
