A loud gasp left your mouth as tears immediately began to fill the dips of your eyes. There it was... spelled out loud and clear on a thin digital stick... “Pregnant”... the moment you knew you would change your life forever.
So many emotions and thoughts went through your head... Am I dreaming? Is this actually happening? Am I really having a baby? With the biggest one being... How am I going to tell Nick?
A million butterflies began to settle in your stomach as the thought of telling your loving boyfriend of three years that you’d soon be parents in just nine short months. You didn’t know how he’d react. Sure, you had no doubt in your mind that you and Nick would be together forever considering you’d both already planned on being married within the next year. But you were still unsure about it all.
With how famous the band had become in the past year and all the touring and events planned for upcoming months, you couldn’t help but wonder if Nick would be disappointed in the timing. But you tried your hardest think happier, more positive thoughts, recalling previous conversations of Nick raving about being a dad one day and all he’d do once the baby was here. You were just hoping he’d still feel the same upon learning that this was actually going to be happening... and very soon.
With all of this rushing through your mind, you were thankful Nick was in back to back meetings all day so you could process this by yourself and, even more importantly, come up with an adorable way to tell him. Despite your uncertainty of his reaction, a big smile strung across your face as you looked down at the test again, excitement rushing through your whole body. You were going to have a baby with the love of your life and that was enough to make you begin crying all over again. You quickly wiped the many tears off your face and immediately grabbed your keys, on your way to search for the perfect way to tell him.
•••••
Several hours had passed by and you knew any minute now, Nick would be walking through the front door. Everything was set up perfectly and looked better than you could have ever imagined. You still couldn’t believe this was all happening. Just a random day of the year suddenly turned one of the most important of your life. Your palms began to sweat as you nervously bit your lip over and over again, pacing back and forth through the living room of you and Nick’s shared apartment. Suddenly, you heard the sound of jingling keys against the door lock and your heart instantly dropped. The knob turned for what seemed like a lifetime as the door slowly caved in towards you.
“Baby you won’t believe what was decided today during the meeti-” Nick started before immediately being cut off by the sight in front of him. Scattered across the entire ceiling were hundreds of bubblegum pink and sky blue balloons as four big shiny gold ones hung from weights on the floor spelling “BABY”. He immediately dropped his keys to the floor as his jaw dropped several inches, indicating his complete shock. It didn’t take him long at all to realize what was going on.
“Wait...WHAT? ARE YOU P-PREGNANT? WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS BABY?” Nick shouted as light tears began to swell his eyes. You followed right along with him, crying yet again today. You couldn’t even speak from the lump that began to settle in your throat, so you just eagerly nodded in response.
“Oh my gosh baby!!! I can’t believe it this is amazing!!!” Nick screamed as he ran up to you, embracing you tightly in his arms. He wrapped both your legs are his waist as began pecking your lips continuously with kisses.
“You’re not mad at all?” you said, causing confusion to quickly wash over Nick’s face.
“MAD? Why on earth would you ever think I’d be mad at this?” Nick replied overly concerned.
“It’s just... I know you and the guys have so many big things coming up and the last thing I want is for you to feel like me... this baby... we’re both an inconvenience to it all” you continued, trying your best to explain your thought process to Nick.
He immediately walked you both over to the couch and set you in his lap, cupping your cheek in his hand lightly.
“Babygirl... you’re my life, my world, my everything. And to now find out that my baby is carrying my baby? I swear nothing could ever make me happier than I am in this moment. Never in a million years could I think of this as an “inconvenience”. I want this. I want you. I want every single little thing that comes along with this baby. I wanna be there to hold you when you’re not feeling well... when it’s 3am and you’re craving something outrageous... when you’re feeling our little angel kick for the first time. All of it. I want it more than I’ve ever wanted anything before. I’m so insanely in love with you (y/n) and I can’t wait to go through this journey with you and our tiny one” Nick said as the tears continued to stream down his delicate face. You grasped both of his flushed cheeks in your hands and kissed him intensely. You tried your hardest, once again, to speak in the middle of your uncontrollable sobbing but could only get out a few words.
“You’re going to be the best dad” you said as you placed you and Nick’s hands over your stomach. “We’re both so lucky to have you” you continued as you watched his face beam with joy at your sweet words.
You spent the rest of the night in pure bliss as you lay in Nick’s arms, gushing together over baby names, how to tell your friends and family, and if the baby would be a he or she. You’d never seen him so enthusiastic about anything before and it only confirmed how ready he was for this. How ready you both were for this. To experience a love with each other and with this baby like nothing ever before.
Author’s Note: Hi loves! Just me back at it again crying over soon to be dad Nick! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! Please leave me your comments and thoughts I seriously love to read them! Thank you for reading it means everything!
P.S. Happy 22nd birthday Nicky!

“So... any last guesses?” you said turning to meet Nick’s soft brown eyes. You could tell how nervous he was. Palms sweating while his foot tapped rapidly, probably to the tune of a newly recorded song playing in his head as a distraction. Not only was this the doctors appointment where you’d finally find out the highly anticipated gender, but also when you’d get to see your baby for first time. A huge and very important appointment for indication that your little angel was happy and healthy.
“I-I really don’t know... I use to think it being a boy or girl was a huge deal to me... but now that we’re actually here... I just want them to be okay you know?” Nick stuttered as he instinctively gripped your hand harder. His eyes being indecisive, constantly going back between looking at your three month belly and the huge monitor displaying everything going on inside. The doctor continued her search for the perfect angle, moving the device slow and steady over every part of your stomach.
You couldn’t lie though, you were also nervous too. So many things had been running through your head for days now, causing many restless nights. But for Nick’s sake, you tried your best to be the strong one for the both of you.
“It’s going to be fine okay? Don’t worry baby” you whispered while embracing his chin in your dainty hand and giving him a wink, trying to lighten the mood. He gave you a slight smile, starring deep into your eyes as if you two were the only ones in the room.
“First time parents huh?” The doctor questioned, interrupting the moment as she continued moving the camera in her search.
“Are we that obvious?” you responded, now becoming self conscious to the doctor overhearing you and Nick’s anxious conversation.
“No it’s fine and completely normal to feel that way... almost all my new parent patients do...” she reassured, causing a sigh of relief to come out of Nick.
“....but nothing to be nervous about... looks like your little girl is perfectly healthy” The doctor said with a grin washing over her face, knowing she’d just revealed the biggest news to the two of you.
“G-girl? It’s a girl? We’re having a baby girl?” Nick stuttered in shock and disbelief as his vision became a little blurry from the tears taking over his eyes.
“Congratulations” the doctor responded with thrill in her voice as she pointed to the screen, signaling you both to look at your little baby on the ultrasound.
“Oh my gosh... she’s... s-she’s” you tried to speak over the lump in your throat as the waterworks began to flood over you too.
“She’s perfect” Nick said finishing your broken sentence. “Absolutely perfect, I can’t believe she’s...” Nick trailed.
“Our daughter” you replied, completing Nick’s sentence which was always a reassuring thing for the two of you whenever you’d enter a state of shock.
The doctor quickly snapped a photo on the computer of the baby and handed it to the two of you, a memento that you’d cherish forever.
“I’ll give you two a moment alone... Congratulations again” she whispered to you and Nick who were still a sobbing mess as she exited the room.
•••••
It felt as though time had been standing still. You didn’t know how long the two of you had been starring at the same black and white picture in complete silence for... but you felt as if you never wanted this life changing moment to end.
“I-I’m scared” you stuttered, breaking the silence in the room while confusion took over Nick’s face.
“What if... what if I don’t know what I’m doing? What if I’m not enough for her? What if I can’t be everything she needs” you continued as the tears in your eyes begun to have a whole new meaning. It had all started to become very real, very quickly. That in six short months, your little girl would be arriving in the world. So dependent on the both of you for anything and everything.
As the self doubt began to set in your mind, Nick took your damp cheek into his hand as his thumb glided away the tears.
“What are you talking about? You’re going to be the best mom anyone has ever seen I mean look at you now. You’re so bright and strong and the most amazing person I’ve ever met in my entire life. I know this little girl is going to look at you with the same beautiful glow in her eyes that I get to see in yours every single day...” Nick said, slowly bringing comfort over your anxious thoughts.
“... and if we’re being honest, I was scared too. All the weeks leading up to this appointment I was terrified of what kind of father I’d be. But the second I saw our little girl on that screen and looked down at you... I swear I’d never loved anything so much in my life. And I just knew my only job now was to spend the rest of my life bringing all the happiness the world has to offer to my two girls. So I’m here with you. Always and forever. And we’re going to be the best parents anyone has ever seen. Together. I promise you that, okay?” he finished as he gave your belly a light kiss, admiring it as you took in everything Nick had just said with so much love in his voice.
“I swear I couldn’t have dreamed up a better father for her than you Nicholas... you’re absolutely everything” you spoke through now joyful tears.
You really tried to say more, but with all the emotions going on in that tiny doctors office, you couldn’t help but be left speechless. It never ceased to amaze you just how much peace Nick’s words could always bring to you. How just moments ago, he was the one filled to the brim with nerves about this entire appointment. Who knew he’d be the one picking the both of you up, making it clear to you early on in this journey that he would be the glue that would keep your little family together through the good and bad times. How he was everything and more you and your little girl could ever need in life.
