S5E6: The Pressure

4:00pm
[Blake's house]
*Steven and Blake were sitting on her couch. He was trying to tell her something.*

Blake: Just say it, Steven. It's okay.

Steven: Okay. I... kissed Nina.

*Blake didn't respond, and Steven felt the need to explain.*

Steven: It was right after the baby came out. I cut the umbilical cord and then it just... happened. I'm so sorry and-]

Blake: Steven.

Steven: Yes?

Blake: ...It's okay.

Steven: What?

Blake: It's okay. I mean, don't do it again, but it's okay.

Steven: H-how?

Blake: You just had a baby with this woman. I thought you would've already kissed her through all this.

Steven: Huh. So you don't want to break up?

Blake: Of course not.

*She kissed him.*

Steven: I love you.

Blake: I love you too.

*They kissed again.*

That Same Time
[Nina and Steven's apartment]
*Nina was home alone with the baby when Jo walked in.*

Jo: Hey! I need your help. Which one should I wear to the party tonight?

Nina: Uhh... the left.

Jo: Left. Got it. You coming tonight?

Nina: Jo.

Jo: You're not going to hire a babysitter?

Nina: She's a week old! I haven't even left her alone with Steven yet.

Jo: Really?

Nina: Really. But I don't mind. I love being with her. *Talking to the baby* Hi! Hi!

Jo: Okay. So these jeans?

Nina: Uh-huh.

Jo: Great. I'm kind of nervous for tonight to be honest.

Nina: Why?

Jo: Well, it's the first thing Tucker and I are going to, together. If you know what I mean.

Nina: I know what you mean.

Jo: And I mean, not that any of the people there would say anything. It's just kind of scary.

Nina: I get it.

Jo: Thanks.

Nina: I think you two should be fine, as long as you're not making out in the corner or anything.

*Jo laughed.*

Jo: Don't worry, we won't be.

Nina: There's gonna be so many people there, no one's gonna know who came with who.

Jo: That's true.

Nina: Plus, you and Tucker kind of have the same circle of friends, or at least a lot of mutual friends. So it won't be surprising that you're both there tonight.

Jo: Do you just naturally become wiser when you become a mother?

*Nina chuckled.*

Nina: Probably.

Jo: Okay well, I gotta go. Bye!

Nina: Be safe tonight!

*Jo laughed as she left. Nina's motherly instincts have definitely kicked in.*
