By April Ruskin May 17, 1996 Disclaimer: Characters of Forever Knight belong to TriStar, but this demented story is all mine. ===== Nick ran into the morgue and searched around wildly. 'Nat, where are you?' he called out excitedly. "Over here Nick. What is it?" Natalie replied, stepping from behind a cabinet. "It's positive Nat!" Nick told Natalie. "Oh, Nick! I'm so happy!" Natalie looked ecstatic as she hugged Nick. "Yes, but how will I tell LaCroix?" Nick wondered. "Tell me what Nicholas?" LaCroix appeared in the doorway. "LaCroix, would you be the godfather of my baby?" Nick asked LaCroix, going for the bold approach. LaCroix got a horrified look on his face and said, "You got Ms. Lambert PREGNANT??? HOW!?!?!" Nick replied, "No, I'm pregnant." "Nicholas, did you drink from a junkie?" LaCroix looked at Nick pityingly. Nick shook his head and replied, "No, that would hurt my baby." LaCroix looked at Nick funny, but before he could speak, Natalie said "It's true LaCroix. Nick has become a subject in male pregnancy experiment." "I do not believe either of you. You will have to make up better lies than that." LaCroix said menacingly. "Look at me LaCroix." Nick said, "It is no lie." It finally sank in to LaCroix that Nick wasn't lying. "But why, Nicholas? Why?" "I want to be a father LaCroix, and Natalie and I thought that this would be the best way." Nick told LaCroix. LaCroix gave Nick and Natalie one last horrified look and flew out of the morgue. After a few minutes of silence, Nat asked Nick "So, have you come up with a name for your baby yet?" ===== The End (???) Probably Not... Still haven't seen others reactions to Nick's condition. Explanation: On SKL (Saturday Knight Live) loop, we got into a discussion over a newspaper article about male pregnancies being a very real possibility. And I immediately got a picture of Nick pregnant, and the rest was, as they say, history.
