Boredom Buster 3k 4: Pointy bits

A/N: I found this baby when I was tooling around on my laptop. I can't believe I'd forgotten all about it! I'd stopped, I guess, when I got that job I had for almost a year. Well, now I'm my own boss again, so here we go! I'll try to remember what the plum was going on.

Nicholas finally has his first official day at his new job in the military line. Here, he sports his new duds with flare. Really. I hadn't noticed until now that the game gave him a feminine walk. Strut your stuff, Nick!

He comes home and finds Serena in the back working on her flower arranging skills--wearing her hospital gown. Still.

Nicholas: Hey, babe.
Serena merely looks at him in response.

Even though he's clueless, he still looks happy.

Serena tolerates him kissing her cheek.

Nicholas: So why didn't you sleep in our bed last night? I missed you.

Blame the hormones, that sets her off.

Serena: I'm not going to sleep with you anymore! I need to finish my degree! And it was sleeping with you that got me preggers in the first place.

Nicholas: You know it takes more than sleeping, right?

Serena: Ugh!

But I think Nick finally gets it.

Nicholas: Babe, I know you wanna finish your degree. Don't you know there are things we can do to prevent you from getting preggers?

Serena: You'd do that for me?

Nicholas: Do what? I was thinking you could go on the pill.

Serena: So you want me to shove hormone pills into my bloodstream in order to make my body inhospitable to pregnancy so that you can still get your freak on just the way you like it?

Nicholas (grins): Yeah.

Serena rolls her eyes: Fine.

Serena thinks that Nick is lucky he's cute.

So today, Nick does stuff to get on Serena's good side.

But when nightfall comes, she sleeps in the baby's room again.

Nicholas: What gives?

Serena: I haven't started on the pills yet.

Nick mopes his way back to the master bedroom.

Nicholas: So you saw the doctor today...

Serena: Yes, I did.

Nicholas: So when you're done with that, I have a friend in my shorts who wants to get reacquainted.

Serena: We have to wait a month. That is, unless you're willing to wear an umbrella.

Nicholas: Well, that would be uncomfortable. Wouldn't you hate the pointy bits?

Serena: I mean a condom, genius.

Nicholas: Oh. (pause) OH, I get it! Well, I don't have any.

Serena: Then you'll have to tell your friend to wait.

The next day...

Nicholas: My meant nn nn more.

Serena: Mwa?

Nicholas pulls up: I went to the store.

Serena: Congratulations.

Nicholas: I bought rain jackets. (grins)

Serena: Please tell me they're not actual rain jackets.

Nicholas: No. They're umbrellas without the pointy bits. Pokey bits, maybe, but that's only if they have some help.

Serena lets him cart her off to the bedroom.

So Nick gets to use his pokey bits.

Nicholas: Serena?

Serena: Yeah?

Nicholas: It slipped off.

Serena: WHAT?
