Chapter two
'What was all that about then?' Schmidt asked eagerly. Nick sighed. He really didn't want to explain it all, and he felt a big lump in his throat which made it difficult for him to talk anyway. Nick gulped and tried to talk the best he could. 'Oh, you know. Girl troubles.' Schmidt raised his eyebrow. 'C'mon man. You know theres more to it.' Nick felt the lump in his throat growing. At any moment he was going to cry, and he seriously didn't want to cry infront of Schmidt. He didn't even know why he felt like crying. Jess seemed okay now, everything was cool hopefully. He just couldn't think about how close he was to losing her, and just even the thought of him not having her about tore his heart. And then it hit him. He knew for sure now... that this was what he wanted. 'Nothing Schmidt, I finally know.' Nick instantly smiled. He knew. This was exactly what he wanted. He pushed the self doubt aside, and went straight to Jess' room, without any hesitation.

The door swung open and their stood Nick in Jess' doorway... but wait? There sat Jess, sat in absolute shock... staring down at a pregnancy test. Jess slowly looked up to find Nick standing in her doorway with a confused face. 'Nick...' Jess was immediately interrupted. 'Jess? What the? Is that? Is... that what I think it is? Does it say what I think it says?!' Jess nodded. It was positive. Nick took a deep breath and shut Jess' door. He sat beside her and stared at the test. 'But how? We used protection? I don't even... what?!' Jess couldn't speak, she was absolutely stunned. They both sat staring at the pregnancy test. Jess... pregnant with Nick's baby. 'I... I don't know what to say Nick. I'm absolutely speechless.' She slowly turned to look at Nick. She looked into his eyes to see what appeared to be disbelief. Yes, it was quite soon. But, in a way she wanted Nick to be happy for some reason, even if she was scared. It broke her heart to see Nick this way about their baby. 'Nick... I know this isn't what you want. I'm seriously so, so sorry.' Tears started to trickle down Jess' cheeks. Nick instantly looked up at Jess with a heartbroken face. He wiped the tears from her face and caressed her cheek in his hands. 'Don't cry Jess, this isn't your fault. I know this is sudden but... maybe it's a sign?' Jess' eyes widened, gleamed in fact. She looked into Nicks eyes and he looked into hers. 'Wait, are you saying you want this baby?' Jess couldn't believe it. Nick started to smile. 'I was just on my way to tell you that I'm sure now. This is for sure what I want. Me and you, together. I mean, I've wanted this but I've just been so worried about me being a mess, and it's true... I am a mess. But, I want to be your mess... if you'll have me?' Nick looked to the floor, and then looked back into her eyes. Jess' faced gleamed. She squeezed his hand. 'Are you sure Nick? We don't have to do this if you don't want to? I don't want you to feel trapped or anything?' Nick laughed. 'Trapped? Jess are you crazy? You're what I want,' Nick placed a hand on her stomach. 'You're both what I want.' Jess immediately hugged him, the loveliest hug they'd ever had with anybody indeed. 'I love you Miller.' Jess whispered into Nicks ear. Nick smiled and hugged Jess tighter. 'I love you too, Day.' Nick whispered back. Tears started to stream down Jess' cheeks, but this time... they were happy tears.
