Even once Jeff spoke, Nick just sat there quietly, looking down at his hands. He was listening to everything, he always did. It was Jeff with the short attention span, where Nick was usually the one who had to remember the details on things that would generally go in one ear and out the other with Jeff. Nick was organised, patient and methodical, where Jeff tended to be the Yin to his Yang. It's always how they had been. Sometimes it did frustrate Nick when he was trying to keep things in order to set a game plan for it, whilst Jeff was always preferable to go in like a bull at a gate excited before the consequences could be considered.

Are a little while, he scratched the back of his head and then linked his finger back up in front of him. "Why does what you want have to be the precedent?" he finally asked quietly, looking up to meet Jeff's gaze. "I'm serious, babe. You want to have a serious discussion, then we have to discuss serious things, even if you don't want to hear them. First, I don't want your sister having a baby for us. That would just be too weird. I need a little line drawn somewhere in this whole thing. A cousin is one thing, a sister is entirely another. I'm happy with our beautiful daughter. I think she's a miracle and a blessing, and we're beyond lucky to have been able to have her. Never, ever was it an assumption we would automatically have more than one when even getting her was a priceless gift to start with. I don't know where along the way it ever became a given Natalia would have brothers or sisters."
