Leslie had been cooking all afternoon. She had something very important to tell Nick that night, so she invited him over for dinner. She set the table w/ a white lace cloth. She put two tall silver candlesticks in the center with scented candles. She placed the food at each seat, then poured wine into two glasses. She then dimmed the lights and waited for Nick to arrive. As usual, he was right on time. Leslie heard the doorbell ring and went to answer. She opened the door to see Nick standing their. He looked perfect. He had on a black suit w/a dark silver tie. His hair was slicked back, except for a few pieces that fell in his sparkling blue eyes. He handed Leslie a single rose as he gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Leslie smiled, then took Nick’s hand and led him inside. She sat him down at the table, and the two had a wonderful dinner together. They talked about their future, and all the good times they had had in the past. Most of all, they laughed together. Nick could always make Leslie laughed. That was one of the many things she loved about him. After dinner , Leslie told Nick that she had something very important to tell him, but she needed to get ready first. So, Nick volunteered to clean up, and then he went to wait in the living room. When Leslie came back out, she had slipped into a robe, with some lingerie underneath that Nick had bought for her. She stood in front of Nick and reached again for his hand. As he stood up, she led him to the back of the house towards her bedroom. Nick laughed, “Is this how you tell me something? Cause um…in that case…I think we need to have a looooong talk baby.”
Leslie laughed at him, “No silly, not that…there’s something in my room that I want to show you.” When they got to the door, Leslie told Nick to close his eyes. As she led him in…they stood there together, hand in hand. “Okay, open them.” As Nick opened his eyes…Leslie could see them widen. He was looking at a bascinette. She saw tears in his eyes, ans she too started to cry.
“You mean…you are?….I’m gonna….I’m really gonna be a daddy?” Nick was so excited as Leslie nodded her head yes. Nick grabbed Leslie and laid her down on the bed. He opened up her roab and put his hand on her stomach. “So that’s my son in there huh?”
Leslie laughed, “Well son…or daughter.” She knew that Nick wanted a little boy so bad that he could taste it. And so did she. The spent the night there together. Things were too perfect Leslie thought. Everything was really gonna be okay.
The next day:
Nick had called Kevin and wanted him to come over and help him detail the Durango that day. He also planned to tell Kevin the good news. He had already called his family, Brian, and Howie. So when Kev came over , the two rode to the carwash to use the vaccuum. They talked the whole way. Nick told him that Leslie was pregnant. Kevin had given him kind of a funny reaction, but he didn’t really pay attention to it.
Nick put the quarters in the machine and told Kevin to get on one side of the car so he could take the hose. Nick finished his side and passed the vaccuum to Kev. Nick was picking up a few little pieces of paper and other trash when he saw a folded piece of paper in the floorboard. Kevin saw it too and knew what it was. What was he gonna do? He panicked as Nick reached for it. Kevin moved fast and sucked the paper up with the vaccuum. Nick looked at him. “ Oops, sorry about that man, I didn’t see it.”
Nick shrugged, “ Oh that’s aight, it must not have been too important if it was in the floor right?”
“Right.” Kevin said as he let out a big breath. He smiled at Nick and the two finished cleaning the jeep.
The End…or is it??
