Nick woke up and stretched, when he looked over he saw that he was in the bed alone. He sat up and smiled as he smelled breakfast, wow this was cool. Waking up to breakfast, if she brought him breakfast in bed he might have to marry her. He laughed, yeah ok, him married, he shook his head and stood up. As he walked into the living room he sat on the couch and waited for his body to completely wake up,
"Good morning grumpy." He looked over at her and frowned,
"What time is it?" She rolled her eyes,
"Eleven thirty." He noticed she was dressed and looked like she had been up for hours,
"Where's MacKenzie?" She smiled,
"She's on the floor in here with me." He nodded,
"What's for breakfast?" She frowned at him and laughed,
"What makes you think I cooked for you?" He looked shocked,
"What? You didn't cook me breakfast? I'm a guest." She laughed,
"Don't start whining. I already have one child I don't need another. There's some bacon still, want me to cook you an egg?" He nodded,
"Yeah."
He was sitting on the couch and when she placed the food on the table in front of him he saw her finger,
"What is that?" She pulled her finger back quickly and held her hands behind her back,
"Um I meant to tell you. James asked me to marry him and I said yes." He narrowed his eyes,
"Where is he now? Does he know I spent the night? Hell, does he even know I'm Mac's father?" She sighed,
"He's at work right now. No, he doesn't know you spent the night and no he doesn't know you're her father. I'll tell him." He stood up and stood over her,
"So why didn't he come over last night?" She crossed her arms and looked away,
"Why didn't he?" She sighed and began to walk away,
"Because I told him I wasn't feeling that well." He nodded,
"So you lied to your fiancee?" She shook her head,
"It's none of your business." He sighed,
"He's not raising my daughter." She looked at him and frowned,
"What? You have alot of nerve. Your ass hasn't been around. Someone needs to be there for her." She began to walk away but suddenly a rush of emotions came over her and she walked back over to him,
"Are you going to make committment to her Nick? Because if you aren't then walk out that door and keep walking out of her life." Nick shook his head,
"Why so your fiancee can be her dad?" Quinn rolled her eyes,
"Deep down that's probably what you want anyway so don't get a fucking attitude." Nick snorted,
"No way fuck him." Quinn shook her head as she walked to the other side of the room,
"See? It's all a damn competition to you. It's not that you want to be there for her you just don't want him to be there for her." Nick nodded his head,
"You're damn right. She's mine." Quinn was busy picking up toys as she argued with Nick,
"She's not a damn trophy Nick. You don't own a baby." Mac started to cry and Nick walked over to her and picked her up. Once he did she screamed even louder,
"What's wrong with her?" He became frustrated and shoved ger towards Quinn,
"Be careful with her Nick. Just because you're mad don't take it out on her. You have to bond with her. You haven't exactly been around to do that, now have you?" Nick screamed,
"How many fucking times are you going to say that? I know that but it's not like it's my fault." Quinn shook her head and placed Mac in her playpen,
"Lower your voice ok, please?"
