A/n: HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone! Here it is the next story in my series of New Girl fics, if you haven't read " I wont give up" or "Miller Meets Day", its not entirely necessary to read those before this, but I do refer to events that happen in the other stories, so it will definitly make more sense to read those before this one. This is just the prologue so its not that long , but the subsequent chapters will be much longer and will feature various stages of wedding planning , leading up to the actual wedding ceremony, I realized I had sort of short changed Winston in the previous story, so their will be more of him and whats going on in his life in this , as well as the other four, with Nick and Jess being the forefronters so there will be more of them then the others, enjoy. For those of you reading Parents II I plan to have the final chapter posted sometime this week.

Prologue

Jess lay with her head lying on Nicks chest, his arms wrapped around her. Her fiancé was fast asleep, but she couldn't bring herself to fall asleep,she had too many things going on in her mind . She smiled when she thought about their surprise engagement party arranged by Schmidt, a few hours prior.

It really was an amazing party, everyone had gotten along nicely. Nicks nephews were a delight and despite nicks terrible gift giving skills, they absolutely adored their grumpy uncle Nick . The bolder one, Jack , had even pulled Jess aside and made her promise not to break his uncle nicks heart like he'd heard his mom talk about the way an evil witch named Caroline had.

Nick had laughed when Jess had told him. Nicks sister Thia was really sweet and nice and had even let Jess feel her belly. Though they'd had a bit of an awkward chat, afterwards, Jess remembered thinking back.

"Wait till you and Nick get pregnant, it's so amazing feeling your baby move inside of you" Thia said placing her hands protectively over her pregnant belly.

" Oh that won't be for awhile, we want kids of course, but not right away, he's still paying off the loan for TM and we'd need to have our own place before we start a family." Jess said.

" Sometimes these things aren't planned" Thia said with wink .

"One thing at a time, we're gonna just plan to get through the wedding first." Jess said trying to change the subject.

Jess's thoughts then shifted to something else. She never really considered herself a girly girl, she just kinda always had her own kind of thing going on. But when she thought about all that she would have to plan for their wedding, she couldn't help but feel like a giddy little girl. There was so much to do, they had to pick a date, find a location, make a guest list, send out invitations.

Jess' head began to spin as the numerous details started flowing through her head. She felt Nick stir next to her . He stretched his arms then opened his eyes, somehow sensing Jess' restlessness.

"Why are you awake, you ok?" Nick said re-wrapping his arms around her .

"Yeah, just a lot on my mind, go back to sleep." Jess said.

"Anything you wanna talk about." Nick sensing that something might be troubling her. Everything had been really good for them lately, was she having doubts about saying yes to his proposal.

" It's nothing bad, I guess I'm kind of stressing about all the wedding plans we have ahead of us, there's gonna be so much to do." Jess said, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Yeah, but you've got Cece, and Sadie, and I'm sure your Mom will be available to help. Plus, you've got a super supportive fiancee who is willing to do anything to ensure you're happy , in every way." Nick said placing a sweet kiss on her forehead.

"How do you always know the right thing to say." Jess said looking at him with her sparkling blue eyes.

" It's only cause you bring out the best parts of me." Nick said smiling sheepishly.

"I love you." Jess said lifting her head off of his chest and placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"I love you too, now, stop worrying in that pretty little head of yours and get some sleep." Nick playful ordered.

"Yes, sir." Jess said with a giggle, she then lay her head back down on his chest and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Winston lay in his bed his cell phone in hand, a smile on his face as he texted. He was texting the new woman in his life. He had met her after he'd broken up with the dancer who had turned out to be a little too crazy. Her name was April and he thought she was absolutely amazing. She was an ER doctor that sometimes moonlighted as a sports doctor.

He had met her at an after party his station had thrown after a big football game in Los Angles. They'd hit it off bonding about playing sports in high school. At the end of the night she had given him his number. At first he wasn't sure if he should call, because he was a little bit intimidated. But he'd mustered up the nerve and called her, and the following day they had dinner and had been seeing each other ever since.

"Sorry again about canceling on you tonight, I was looking forward to meeting your roommates, I had really hoped to make it to the engagement party,but they called me in." April texted.

"It's ok, I understand, you were on call. Maybe we can have dinner with everyone, I can introduce you to them then." Winston texted back.

"That sounds great, I have some vacation days coming up, we could have it at my place, I make a mean chicken Alfredo, :)" April texted.

"Sounds good, I'll check with my friends to get their availability,I know they're excited to meet you." Winston texted back.

"I've got to be in work early tomorrow morning, maybe we can catch lunch at the hospital tomorrow, around 1:00?" April asked.

"Yeah, I'll see you then, goodnight April." Winston texted

"Goodnight Winston." April texted back.

He didn't mention that Schmidt and Nick had been teasing him on whether April actually existed because she was always so busy. She never stayed the night, cause she was almost always on call , plus she and Winston had only been dating for about a month .Although it had only been a short time, when he was with her, he felt like he'd known her for years. He hadn't felt a connection like this with a woman since Shelby.

He hoped his friends liked her. He had already warned April that they were an interesting bunch, and she had seemed unfazed by his quick overview of their personalities. April was a bit quirky herself, but in a way, he hoped would help her fit in. Winston had a feeling she'd be sticking around for awhile, and was looking forward to the growth of their relationship.

A/n: That's it for now, sorry there was no Cece/Schmidt ,I wanted to keep it short and also introduce April, I will have Cece /Schmidt in the next chapter. I mapped out the story in my head and I may stretch this out past my initially planned 5 chapters in order to make it a more well rounded story, I've had some comp issues,typing this on a borrowed computer, so might be some time before I update again, but keep your fingers crossed that , that will be resolved soon, thanks for reading, please review, I'd love to hear what you think, even if its short, suggestions and constructive criticism , not flames ,and yes there is a difference, are always welcome.
