I'm Back!? I'm actually going to continue with this story. I'm not sure how often I'll update. But I won't go longer than a week hopefully. Hope you like it…

She was late. Jess was never late, well except for one time when she first started her period, and it was still in that weird irregular stage. Jess didn't think anything of it. Just one day. No big deal. Right?

It was 3 days past her monthly. Jess was still in bed, exhausted from her late night fiesta with Nick. She usually didn't sleep any later than 9:30 on Saturdays, it was now 11:15.

Nick was sitting in the kitchen with the guys. Eating two giant pancakes, Schmitt talking about some new European hair product he ordered and Winston was on the laptop "job hunting" for that one "perfect" job he so desperately needed. Nick didn't want to wake Jess; he knew she'd be tired, he also knew she would wake up when she was good and ready.

"Jess still asleep?" Winston asked Nick. "Ha. Yea..." Nick shrugged.

"Jessica's never up late on Saturday mornings, especially, Saturday mornings." Schmitt added.

"Is that so? And you know this because..." Nick looked at Schmitt "Well, if you must know, every morning I try and start out my morning's right with my vanilla protein shake, and Jessica's is usually up watching reruns of I Love Lucy." Schmitt said with a bit of a haughty attitude. "We had a long night she's just tired." Nick said. "I thought I'd never stop hearing the...Ah bed… hit the wall last night Nick." Winston chuckled. "Alright. I'm. Um. Gonna go check on Jess." Nick said a bit sit flustered from Winston's comment.

"Jess?" Nick whispered. Still nothing. "Jess?" Nick sat on the bed careful not to move it too much. "Wake up beautiful, it's 20 minutes till 12, and I was hoping we'd have some more fun today. Maybe take a walk it's nice out." Jess began to move a bit, lifting her head to look at the alarm clock, taking the covers a bringing them above her chin, she groaned. "Why'd I sleep so late?" Jess asked Nick. "I guess we had a little too much fun last night...huh?" "Mhhhm." Jess said sitting up. Nick could tell the moment Jess sat up something was off. "You feelin' alright?" Nick took Jess' hand. "Ya, just uh little sore." Nick placed a soft kiss on her lips and ran his hands down her shoulders. Just then Jess felt a wave of nausea hit her. She pulled away from Nick quickly, but not too quickly. "I need to pee." she lied. "O—okay." Nick smiled, as Jess quickly, but smoothly moved off the bed.

Jess quickly walked past Winston in the hallway. "Look who's finally up." He said. "Mornin!" Jess said slamming the bathroom door.

Swinging open the stall door, and bending down to the toilet, Jess began emptying the contents of her stomach. About 5 minutes later Jess finally made it to her feet. Walking over to the sink she splashed cold water on her face and brushed her teeth. "What the hell?" Jess softy said to herself.

Opening her medicine cabinet above the sink, she went to place her toothpaste back, knocking over a small box of tampons in the process. Bending down to pick them up, she finally realized why she threw up so much. "Shit." she whispered. She stopped picking up the tampons and was lost in deep thought. When was the last time I used those? I should be buying a new box soon. Oh my God.

"OH JESSICA!" Nick said very loudly walking down the hall half singing half talking what he said. Nick began knocking on the bathroom door. "Je—" just then Jess swung the door open. "Yes?" Jess said raising her eyebrows. "What's taking you so long?" "I um made a mess. ha. All clean. See?" She shifted a bit so he could look into the bathroom.

Both were now in their bedroom picking up their clothes from the night before. "So what are the plans for today Jess?" Jess paused what she was doing. "Uhm. I have to go to the store to pick up some things, but first a shower." "Do you want me to come with you to the store? Aren't you hungry we could eat first." She hesitated "I'm not feeling too well Nick. I'm just gonna run to the store. Alone. I'll probably get some tums and other stuff." Jess slowly smiled. "Alright." Nick said placing the remainder of their clothes in the hamper.

It was 1:30 by the time Jess was showered and ready to go to the store. The guys were sitting on the couch watching the highlights of the North Carolina and Duke Basketball game. Drinking beers and eating a variety of chips.

Jess came walking out in her favorite tight mint green short sleeved shirt, high-wasted denim jean shorts, and black flats. Her hair was falling loosely on her shoulders and she had her usual makeup on.

"Okay guys I'm off to the store! Anybody need anything?" She asked standing right in front of the TV. "Nope we're good!" Winston was the first to speak "Move Jess!" Winston & Schmitt said in unison. "Wait can you get me more Crest 3D White mouthwash?" Schmitt asked. "Sure. Anything else guys?" No one answered they were all too engrossed in the game highlights. Jess walked over to Nick's side. "Babe. You need anything?" "No I'm good Jess. Thanks though. I'll see you in a bit. Love you." This made Jess smile "I love you more, Nick."

The store was only about a five minute drive from the loft, but for some reason to Jess the drive felt like the longest drive yet. Maybe it was because she knew why she was really going to the store or maybe it was because she simply didn't feel too good.

Jess wandered the store picking up everything she needed. Well almost everything. She had been regretting going down that aisle.

Walking slowly Jess saw the tampons, pads, what Nick called "old people diapers", and then finally looking to her right she sees them.

She began to panic. What if I'm going to become a mom? Are me a Nick ready? Which pregnancy test should I buy? Why are they so damn expensive? Holy hell.

Not looking Jess quickly grabbed a random pregnancy test off the shelf. She began quickly walking to the check out in hopes that no one she knew was there.

When she finally got home Winston was out at a job interview, Schmitt was practicing his yoga in what used to be her room, and Nick was sleeping on the couch. Had I really taken that long? She thought. Glancing down at her watch she read 2:45. Wow I guess I did.

Quietly walking to their bedroom she closed the door, put the drug store bag on the bed, and began emptying it. She placed the tums on the nightstand along with the batteries she bought for her reading headlight.

Walking out of their room she knocked on Schmitt's door. "Hey, here's your mouthwash Schmitt." She handed it to him with the pregnancy test hidden behind her back. "Thanks." He smiled

Finally in the bathroom Jess began to quickly open the box. "Clear Blue." she spoke to herself in a hesitant voice. Reading the back of the box she did as it told.

Flushing the toilet and washing her hands Jess placed the pregnancy test on the sink. Four more minutes and she would know whether or not she and Nick were going to become a Mommy and Daddy.

Just breathe she thought. 2 more minutes. Will Nick be happy? Do I even want a baby? Of Course I do I love children why else who I be a teacher? 1 minute. I would love to see Nick holding our son or daughter. Would he or she have my eyes or Nick's? Probably His. She smiled at the thought. Times up.

Slowly looking down at the pregnancy Jess thought she might cry. In clear letters she read. Pregnant.

TB..
