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?

I have 2 questions...everyone assumes June took Nicole and Serena was not involved? Why wasn't June mamed or hurt more than slashes on her feet? Or do they believe Alexis Bleidels character took her?

Fred spun the story to hide the fact that his household was involved. They said that Emily kidnapped her and fled the country.

Did he realize Serena handed her over?

He realized it when she came up to June’s room and she told him that they needed to give June more time to get away
