we'll never be royals

Nick Wilde,just your normal 19-year-old who likes to do a bit of acting now and then. I know my last name doesn't sound normal, but I'm nothing like them, believe me.

She couldn’t take him seriously. He looked like he’s 18 and he was too hot to be a doctor. What the hell was that. Grey’s Anatomy or what? “Well kind of, yes. Okay, nice to meet you Doctor Wilson.” she raised her eyebrow, not really sure should she trust him. “No offense, but are you like qualified enough? I know it’s just a cat, but I don’t want you to kill her. Like aren’t you 20?” Ellie asked, putting the cage on the table.

Nick chuckled as he listened to miss Bowen’s concerns. Why did he decide to shave this morning again? He couldn’t believe she saw him as a twenty year old while he was almost thirty in reality. Being a dad of two, most days, he felt even older. “I understand why you’re concerned, you’ve never seen me work after all and you were used to see Doctor Stevens. But I promise, I went through seven years of vet school just like she did. You underestimated my age quite a bit also -- I’m more experienced than you think,” he explained. “Don’t worry, your cat is in good hands. Shall I do a routine check-up or do you have something else to report?”

[delaneybowen]

“Hello to you, too.” the blonde smiled and rasied her eyebrow. 

[itsnick-w]

For a second, Nick wondered why his next client was looking at him so weirdly, but then he remembered he hadn’t been working in this vet’s practice for long, so he probably wasn’t the person she expected to see. “Oh. You must wonder who I am! I’m Doctor Wilson, I’ve been covering some of Doctor Stevens’ shifts since last month,” he introduced himself, as he opened the door and gestured for her to come through. “You can come in and put the cage on the exam table, right there!”

The girl sighed, she never meant to hurt anyone. “Okay, you moved on. I get it, it was a bad judgement.” she tried to defend herself, but he just didn’t listen to her. “He’s still your dad…you know what leave it. I’m sorry.” She really was, but he obviously didn’t care that much about it. He even decided that insulting her about her mother would be a good idea. “I made a huge mistake, but that really was uncalled for.” the girl said, trying to calm herself. Like she really was wrong in this whole situation, but the “go find your own mother then” was really immature. “Okay, you have this right…I’ll just call and tell him to get lost. If that’s what you want, but please don’t use my mother against me, only to prove your point.” she said, taking her phone, and started writing.

“I’ll send him a text right now and that’s it. I’m sorry for not minding my own buisness.” as she pressed the ‘’sent’’ button she placed her phone on the table and looked at Nick. “It’s Jamie’s birthday, we’re not fighting today.”  Nina said, trying to finish the cake. “I’m sorry and I love you. Be mad if you want to. I can’t do anything about it…” she shrugged, not really sure what else she could do. 

It’s not like Nick particularly enjoyed fighting with Nina. He hated it. It made him feel like his heart was being torn into pieces. On the one hand, he was mad at Nina for going behind his back and contacting a father he never wanted to speak again, but on the other hand he knew her intentions were genuine. She was his wife. All she ever wants is for him to be happy. Nick suddenly got overwhelmed by guilt. “I’m sorry, baby. I shouldn’t have said that. I was saying you couldn’t compare our childhoods, and still I brought your mom into the picture. That was a dick move,” he admitted. He hated how furious the thought of his dad still made him. “I know I still haven’t processed everything yet. Believe me, I know. But too much has happened for me to give him the chance to make it right. At this moment in my life, I still don’t he deserves that chance. I’m sorry. He has had enough opportunities to make things right,” Nick explained, while Nina started writing up a text. “I hope you can at least understand that. I hope you don’t think I’m... I’m heartless,” he whispered, his voice starting to break. He didn’t want Nina to resent him for not having a big, accepting heart like she did. He took a deep breath, walking closer to her once again. “Drop the spoon,” he quickly commanded as he turned Nina around and comfortingly pressed her body against his. “I don’t want to fight either. And you know I will never stop loving you, no matter what you do or say,” he replied, placing a soft kiss on her temple. “I know better than to let my father ruin things between us. You and the kids, you are the highlights of my life...” He wrapped his arms around her waist more tightly, looking Nina in the eyes. “I’m truly sorry for saying such awful things.”

“I - I know baby. Just listen to me…please don’t be mad. Please.” the girl said, feeling guilty that she ever thought that it was a good idea. “I just wanted you to let go of this forever. Cause I know that every now and then you still think about it, about his reasons…you still wonder what went wrong. And I - I…” Nina wasn’t so sure if he even listens to her, but she owned him an explanation. “I know what is it like and I would like to have the chance to…I don’t know, to talk to my mom one day, not to forgive her or anything, but at least to understand why and maybe stop blaming myself for it.” She never really thought about calling his dad, but few days ago she found some pictures from Nick’s childhood and thought why not. It was so stupid to do it behind his back, but still… “Y - you can maybe meet him. And after that you can either decide to have him in your life, or to never see him again. But at least you’ll have a closure.” Nina felt like she fucked up so bad and none of her reasons really mattered.

“I’m not mad, I’m just trying to understand why you would do this,” Nick replied defensively. Maybe in the past he used to be the kind of guy to have outbursts of anger when it came to sensitive subjects like his father, but he had matured since then. “I’m not saying you are wrong, I have let my father ruin a lot of things for me in the past and I still don’t comprehend what went wrong back then, but I’ve been moving on. I have my own family now. I let go of all that.” He knew he was rambling, and he hated discussing with Nina about anything. But what was she expecting? Did she really think he’d welcome his dad with open arms? “Even if I wanted to get back in touch with him -- I really don’t think it’s your choice to make, Nina. I’m sorry, it really isn’t.” When Nina started talking about her own situation with her mom, Nick sighed and started massaging his forehead. “Why don’t you go looking for your own mom, then? Just because our childhoods were similar doesn’t mean I feel the same way,” he explained, trying his very best to not loose his calm. “I don’t care about closure, I -- I can’t do this. I can’t.”

The girl smiled “What can I say, we’re the best parents out there.” Here we go, the blonde took a deep breath, knowing that she could probably write a book about how to start a fight in 4 seconds and it would be a best seller. “ I called your dad.” Nina said worried that most certainly he won’t be too happy that she did it behind his back. “Tell me you still love me, please.”

“Yes, yes we are,” Nick replied cheerfully. Whether they were the best parents was debatable, but at least they were sucking less than his very own parents did. Ever since he first found out he was going to be a dad, he had always been determined to make a difference, to break the circle that had the risk of becoming vicious. Now, four years later, this goal had not changed. 

Then, Nina finally said what she had been meaning to say. Nick couldn’t believe what he was hearing -- was his mind tricking him? He had just wasted his thoughts on the bad example his father had been, and now Nina was telling him she reached out to him? “Wh -- what? You called him?” Nick repeated, trying to wrap his mind around it. “Why? I just -- I don’t get it... We were doing fine without him, weren’t we? I was doing just fine,” he continued, completely ignoring Nina who asked him whether he still loved her.

Nina knew she was so bad at it, but really wanted to make it herself. That was what mothers do, right. “It’s important for me to do it all by myself. Like tomorrow he will be 40 and he will always remember that I was the best mom. Not the best baker, but still…” the blonde said looking at her husband and laughed softly. “I don’t need help, I promise…” When he hugged her she smiled and quickly remembered that there was something important she had to tell him. “I’m sure…but I need to tell you something.”  she took a deep breath, not knowing what his reaction was going to be “You know how I stick my nose into everybody’s business, right? “ she waited for an answer.

Nick softly placed a kiss on Nina’s head, as she told her why she thought it was important she made the cake herself. “Jamie’s really lucky to have an amazing superwoman like you as a mom,” he then said, trying to comfort her. He didn’t feel like he was sugarcoating anything though. Nina really was Jamie’s whole world. There was no use in trying to compete with her on the title of best parent. “Okay, if you say so, then I’ll just go back to my chair and admire you from a distance,” Nick replied jokingly. Before he got the chance to turn around, Nina told him she needed to tell him something. “You’re quite known for doing that, yeah. Though I thought it was more something you used to do in high school.” He frowned, not sure what to expect. “What’s going on?”

[ninastallen]

You’re one insult away from starting a war.

[itsnick-w]

Nick softly shook his head, as the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. “I’m not trying to insult you, babe, I promise...” he spoke. He was sitting by the kitchen island, a cup of coffee in his hand, as he was watching his wife trying to bake a cake for their son’s fourth birthday. With the emphasis on trying. He had offered her his help, but Nina, stubborn as she was, wasn’t keen on accepting it. “I was just saying it might be a bit easier to use the KitchenAid to mix the batter. Nothing wrong with the whisk, it would save you some time is all.” He stood up from his chair and walked closer to Nina, wrapping his arms around her waist as he stood behind her. “Are you sure there isn’t anything I can do?”

[laurensparker]

Lauren really didn’t knew why it looked like such a big deal, he was her friend and she enjoyed spending time with him and she was sure that he sometimes really was getting bored here and he could use some company .“Anytime.” she said, looking at him. “You sure?” the girl asked, opening the can and taking a sip. “Thank you, Nick…” she said smiling. 

[itsnick-w]

[he returned her a genuine smile] Yep. It’s no problem, just enjoy it. You’ll feel better and you won’t fall asleep again while I talk to you. It’s a win-win situation.

[itslittlereed]

 I could always try. Thank you. Well…kind of because boys are stupid as hell. 

[itsnick-w]

Hmm... I see. You’re not the first one that tells me that. Will you believe me when I say that not all of them are that way?

[redquare]

––– ‘ Oh. ’ Luna startled as she looked at him. ‘ I - I’m sorry but I don’t have any money on me. I was supposed to meet up with someone but I guess they stood me up. ’ 

[itsnick-w]

“Really? I’m sorry to hear that...” He frowned, looking at the blonde girl, who seemed to be rather down about what just happened. “Maybe I can offer you something to drink?”

[itslittlereed]

I don’t think that you appreciate enough the fact that I didn’t got in with a fake ID, Nick…But ok. Do you have a non-alcoholic coctail that tastes like an alcoholic one?

[itsnick-w]

Even then it wouldn’t have worked, because I know you from QESA. Better luck next time. I can definitely do my best for you. [he starts making the mocktail] So, is there any particular reason for your alcohol craving?

[itslittlereed]

You just ruined it, anyway. Thank you very much. Seems like I have nothing to do here then…

[itsnick-w]

Again—not doing this on purpose. I just can’t risk to loose my job, Payton. And are you kidding me? I can make plenty delicious non-alcoholic cocktails or give you a soft drink.

[itslittlereed]

I don’t know. I’m not an alcohol expert, to be honest….I want something with a lot of alcohol in it, but I don’t want it to taste gross like is there alcohol with sweet taste? 

[hazel-ellis]

Aren’t you like sixteen? I really don’t want to ruin the party, but I’m afraid I can’t give you alcohol then.

[laurensparker]

“No, don’t worry. If I go home I’ll fall asleep and it’s too early anyway…I don’t want to wake up at 4 am, wondering what to do.” she explained and smiled at him. “Don’t worry, I’m fine…though I really will love you forever if you give me one RedBull. Maybe it will help.” Laur said, shrugging.

[itsnick-w]

“Okay, if you really say so. I appreciate it,” the boy responded. When she asked for a RedBull, he said: “I’m pretty sure we have some left... Give me a second.” Nick went behind the bar where they stocked up their drinks and found some RedBulls. He took one and brought it back to his friend. “This one’s on me,” he said with a smile.

[cooperxjulia]

“Any chance you happen to be good at making a tequila sunrise?”

[itsnick-w]

Of course! One Tequila Sunrise coming up! [he starts taking the ingredients] So, how has your day been?

[laurensparker]

Lauren put her hands on her face and closed her eyes for a second, trying to get at least 2 seconds rest. Though it was a bad idea,cause she fell asleep at the public transport when she last tried this. “Poison…’ the girl answered, looking back at her friend. “You have no idea how tired I am.”

[itsnick-w]

I think I have an idea—that’s kind of how you look. Look, Lauren, it’s really nice you want to keep me company but if you want to head back home... I wouldn’t want you to pass out of tiredness. [he frowns]

[the-ryancarter-blog]

Jack Daniels and ice. Just don’t get confused and don’t bring me the wrong thing. I don’t want a glass of Jack Daniels…I want a whole bottle. Thanks.

[itsnick-w]

I’ll give you one glass first and after you can get back to me, deal?
