Nichole's paternity Question

So Serena eventually gets pregnant by Fred, which means that somehow he was fertile as well in the end.

Just wondering, I presume that while June was regularly sleeping with Nick by choice, the monthly ceremony was also regularly performed.

Does this mean that there could be a slight chance that Nichole is Fred's and not Nick's after all?

If you search ‘paternity’ in this sub, you’ll find a load of previous posts about this subject. It’s been addressed a few times.

Ah sorry, I didn't 😄 I was watching an episode and I posted what went through my mind in that moment

Personally I don’t mind when someone post about what’s on their mind even if it’s been talked about before, because then they get to have a discussion about what they’re seeing. Reddit is a discussion forum lol

I’m glad you ask the question. Because I haven’t thought about this. Or the possibility that Nick could have altered the results.
