It's sad that the next pages aren't out yet, but I can see this continuing to go down the moral-boosting path with Nick promising he'll always be there for Judy and her kits. I can even see this leading into Nick confessing his feelings for Judy, something he had to swallow back while she was with Jack, and begin a relationship between them. One that, because of how well and for how long they've known each other, would develop into marriage pretty quickly, making him the kits' father more than he already will be.
