Dear Future Husband - A Kick Fanfiction

Double Whammy's and Dirty Looks

'So... how's work at Calimov going?' Dad asked. 

'Yeah, it's fine thank you.' Nick answered. 

'And does this work arrangement suit you both, being married and all that?' Mum questioned sternly. 

'Mum, seriously-' I started to say, but Nick stopped me.

'It's fine Julia.' He said. 'We don't let our marriage interfere with work. And if it ever does, we can handle it.' 

'I bloody well hope so.' Dad interrupted. 

'Dad!' I threw him a look. 

'What?' He shrugged. 'I wanna know he's treating my girl right, or he'll have to answer to me.' 

'Don't worry Mr Calvin, I'm taking good care of Katherine. She's my everything.' He took my hand. I smiled. 

'Anyway, how is it living with Nick?' Mum asked. 'And Will, of course.' 

'It's good.' I told her. 'Nick and I have a routine for the weekends and after work, when Nick isn't around, I make sure Will is up for college and the house is generally kept tidy.' 

'Sounds like a great place to raise the kids.' Dad piped up, just as I was taking a sip of coffee. 

I nearly choked on it. 'Dad!'

'It's... a bit too early to be thinking of that, isn't it?' Nick said, studying my expression. But I could see the gleam in his eyes that told me he agreed with my dad 100%. 

'Oh come on now, you two.' Emily laughed. 'I spent a few weeks with you guys before the wedding and now you're both here. I've seen the way you both look at each other, like you wanna rip the other person's clothes off. It's pretty sick actually.' 

'Thanks Em!' I said sarcastically. 

'You're blushing.' Nick whispered in my ear. 

'I think it's a great idea anyway. I mean, you're married, why not go all the way?' Mum said. 

'Can we please not talk about this?' I asked. This was really awkward. 

'Fine, fine.' Mum laughed. 'But just think about it.'

'When are we leaving?' I whispered to Nick. 

***********************************************************************************************

When the dinner was over, and we were finally in the car going home, Nick decided to bring up the subject I was hoping to prolong.

'Do you think your parent's were serious? About us having kids?' He kept his eyes on the road. 

'I don't know.' I shrugged, staring straight ahead. 'Maybe my dad was joking. He always jokes around randomly like that.' 

'Still.... It wouldn't hurt to think about it..' Nick sounded slightly nervous. 

I didn't answer. I didn't know if it was even possible for me. After the explosion at Calimov, the doctor had told me there was a possibility I wouldn't be able to have kids in the future. 

But after Nick's words, an image entered my head, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. Of a baby with the cutest dimples, hazel eyes in Nick's exact shade, and thick brown hair in my shade. 

I shook the image out of my head. 

'Sorry if I scared you. I won't mention it again.' Nick said, misinterpreting my silence. 

I kept quiet. 

We soon arrived at home, and as we got out of the car, I turned to Nick. 'Thank you for today. I really appreciate it.' 

'Hey, it's fine.' He put an arm around me. 'Anything for you.' 

I smiled and kissed him. 'Come on. I bet Will, Eve and Lily are inside.'

We walked in the house, and sure enough, Will, Eve and Lily were in the kitchen, with KT and Zac too. 

I saw Nick's expression change when he saw Zac. 

He'd better behave himself.

'Hi guys.' I said, putting my bag on the table. 

'Hey dad, Katherine.' Will nodded. 

'Hi Nick, hi Katherine.' Zac said. 

'Hi Zac.' I smiled. Nick was currently glaring at Zac, and he'd noticed. I elbowed Nick in the ribs. 

'Ow!' He hissed. 

'Behave yourself.' I whispered. 

'Zac.' Nick nodded curtly. 

Zac gave me a questioning look. I mouthed to him; 'He knows...' 

'Erm, I loved to hang out with you guys, but I've got to go now.' Zac told Will and Lily. 'I'm gonna make myself scarce.' 

'Good idea.' Nick muttered. I glared at him, but he gave me an innocent "what?" look. 

When Zac was gone, I rounded on Nick. 'What was that for? He apologised!' 

'Did you not see the way he was looking at you? He clearly still fancies you.' Nick hissed. 

'Nick, leave it.' I told him.

'What are you two whispering about?' Will asked. 'I asked if we could have  a takeaway tonight.'
