S6E3: The Confession

OCTOBER
Night
[Nancy and Nathan's house]
*Nancy was in the bathroom mirror, getting ready for bed. While Nathan was already in bed reading a book.*

Nancy: You know what I realized?

Nathan: What?

Nancy: Ever since I got back from tour, we haven't done anything fun.

Nathan: What do you mean? We've watched movies, we've gone to coffee shops, we've-

Nancy: Those are all boring things. I mean they've been fun because I missed you and everyone, but still. Don't you wanna do something exciting?

Nathan: We do exciting things all the time. Or... we used to.

Nancy: Exactly.

*Nancy was finished and she got in bed next to him.*

Nancy: We used to... chase each other through airports, and-

Nathan: That was one time.

Nancy: And we went to a ball, and we danced at the Orange County fair, and we-

Nathan: We definitely had a lot more going on then.

Nancy: It's not that, I have so much going on right now. But it's all work stuff. It's not you stuff. Before my career got super serious, all I did was spend my time with my friends and write about it. But now it's so much more. I miss when I actually ran my own instagram account. And it wasn't my team. I don't know, I guess... I love my life now but sometimes I miss things the way they used to be.

Nathan: Alright. Tomorrow we'll spend the whole day together and everyone else. We'll even dance in the middle of the plaza.

Nancy: I can't tomorrow. I'm going over protocols for my music video.

Nathan: Okay, well how about thursday?

Nancy: Can't. I might be able to squeeze you in on Friday for a couple of hours?

Nathan: I'm filming that day.

Nancy: You know what, tomorrow it is. Don't worry, I'll work some things out.

Nathan: Great. What do you want to do?

Nancy: Do you realize that we have the power to break the internet?

Nathan: That is true. Do you actually want to do that?

Nancy: Depends what we do.

Nathan: We could announce your pregnancy?

Nancy: Not yet. I'm... just not ready.

Nathan: Why not?

*Nancy took a deep breath.*

Nancy: If something happened to the baby, we'd have to tell them too.

Nathan: Nance, are you scared from last time?

Nancy: A little. I'm sorry, it's just-

Nathan: Don't be. It's okay. But I promise you, nothing is going to happen to this one.

Nancy: You can't promise that.

Nathan: But I can promise that it'll all be okay? Can't I?

Nancy: If something happens to this baby, nothing will be okay.

Nathan: Look at what the doctor said yesterday. Everything's looking great. Don't spend your whole pregnancy worrying about that. It's completely out of your control.

Nancy: Yeah. I guess you're right. Still not ready to tell them.

Nathan: We won't.

*Nathan held Nancy's hand and smiled.*
