Well, guys are generally afraid of holding a newborn, unless they've had some experience with newborns. They are afraid of hurting them...newborns are so tiny and fragile. And it's not just a guy thing, women who have never held a newborn are much the same way. :) I would probably be the same way, but I grew up changing diapers...and did more of it as a babysitter when I was a teen. Then my older brothers had kids before I did, so I was called upon to babysit them too. :D I've also had other family members, friends and coworkers who were new fathers. So I didn't see it as Nick being "pressured" to hold baby Kelly...more like 'encouraged'. That's why Adalind said: "He won't break." I thought that was a bit of good writing there in that scene...Nick had that textbook look of panic on his face at the thought of holding this fragile little thing; He didn't want to hurt it. And yes, I was referring to when Nick put baby Kelly in his carseat...he did a playful little 'kitchy kitchy' at Kelly that told me some time had passed and he was more familiar with him.
