Next Day
Jess, lay on her bed. Tomorrow was her appointment at the doctors, she was nervous, it was going to change either Sam or Nick's life forever. Jess knew she needed to tell Nick before tomorrow. She had many times to tell him, but just couldn't find the words to say. Jess then promised herself she would tell next time she would see him about in the apartment. Of course it didn't take to long as Nick began rapping on the door.
"Jess, it's me" Nick rapped lightly on the door. "Can I come?"
Jess jumped up from lying down to sitting up on the bed.
"Yes, come on in" she said.
Nick, pop's his head round the door.
"Just wondering Winston and me are heading to the store, just want to know if you need anything?" He asked her.
"Yeah, bring my back my two favourite men Ben & Jerry, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, please" she gave a big cheesy grin.
Nick laughed "Is that all?"
"Yes" She replied. Jess knew she had to tell Nick the secret she had been holding back from him. "Nick" she said.
"Yea?"
"I'm pregnant" Jess quickly said.
Nick looked at Jess, as if she wasn't right in the head.
"Yeah, Jess I know, you told us, the other day" He walked towards her and touched her forehead. "Are you feeling ok, you sick?"
Jess whacked Nick's head of her forehead.
"No, I'm not sick" She told him. "What I'm really trying to say is you might be the dad!" she added.
Nick stood for at least a minute taking in what Jess had just said, his eyes were starting to get wider as time went on. Jess knew Nick was getting ready to freak out.
"Nick? Say something please" Jess stood up and started waving her hand in front of his face, but Nick stood as still as a statue.
"NICK!" Jess shouted at him then clicked her fingers.
Nick shook his head, Jess knew what was coming next.
"Nick, don't you dare" she warned him.
To late Nick was doing the awkward moonwalk that he does when he tries to avoid stuff he doesn't want to deal with. Nick started moonwalking out of Jess room to the door of the apartment, closely followed by Jess who was trying to stop him.
"Nick, please stop it" she begged him. "We need to talk about this"
Nick was having none of it he opened the door of the apartment and as he closed it, could hear him on the other side of the door quietly say shamone.
As the door closed Jess put her back to it and slid down it, she started to cry, this was way harder than telling Sam, she thought.
Meanwhile Nick was in the elevator on his way downs to meet Winston in the car.
"Ah, so stupid Miller! Why did you walk out like that" he continued to talk to himself. He knew had to go back and talk to Jess instead of going to the store but inside he was scared and unsure. He then punched a wall of the elevator, but ended up hurting his hand. Elevator had reached the ground floor and he got off. He headed of towards the car, and got in and joined Winston on the trip to the store. Winston and Nick's journey to the store was quiet, Winston knew something was wrong with Nick, but as much as he tried Nick wouldn't say anything.
As Nick and Winston were walking round the store, Nick seemed to notice all the kids. He saw crying babies and when he looked at the parents they were tired, they looked like they hadn't slept in months. Then there was kids running off with parents chasing after them so they won't run into anything that they can smash. Nick could feel himself starting to sweat, he would only sweat this much when he was lying he needed to get out of the store.
"Nick, earth to Nick, did Jess want anything?" Winston asked Nick.
"Baby" mumbled Nick.
"Baby? Baby what?" asked Winston who was confused.
"I need out of here! I need air" Nick began to run off.
"NICK! NICK!" Winston called after him.
Nick wasn't stopping, he began to run to the loft. The loft was only 7 blocks from the store, but the guys were always just to lazy to walk to it.
Took Nick nearly 10 minutes to run back to the loft, he realised he was so out of shape no wonder he drove to the store, all the time. Nick opened the door to the apartment.
"JESS!" he shouted and panted at the same time, he was finding it hard to breathe after all that running.
Jess came running out of her room you could see that she had obviously been crying.
"Oh my god Nick, what happened to you?" she went over and helped him to the sofa.
"I ran 7 blocks, that's what happened" He told her. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked Jess.
"What?"
"About me, possibly having impregnating you"
"I wanted to tell you, but it was just so hard, I was scared of how this will effect us"
"Us?"
"Yes, us as friends" she could feel tears coming to her eyes again.
"Well right now I'm REALLY freaked out Jess! You don't just tell a guy stuff like that before he goes out to the store!" he said to Jess.
"I'm sorry, I know I should have told you sooner, really Nick" she looked at him with her big blue eyes filling up with tears. It was one of Nick's weakness seeing her crying he hated it.
"How the heck did this happen! We used a condom" Nick now stood up he had got his breathe back again.
"I know, and I used condoms with Sam, I'm always safe but clearly either Sam or one of your little soldiers made there way up my battlefield, and shot my egg."
"What the heck way is that to explain" Nick said.
"Just explaining how it it happens" she told him.
"I know how it happens Jess!" He began to raise his voice a bit. "What did Sam say? Does he know it's me, does he know that you could be carrying my kid?" he questioned her.
"No, I never told him it was you, I didn't want to tell him anything like that until I told you"
"I can't believe this is happening right now! I can't be a dad, I'd be the worst dad ever" Nick could feel himself starting to freak out again. "Seriously Jess, us Millers should never product kids, we come from a whole line of mess ups. My grandfather screw up, my dad screwed up and I'll most likely do the same." Nick's emotions changed he had tears coming to his eyes now.
"From what you have told me about your dad, your nothing like him Nick." Jess told him.
Nick and Jess conversation was interrupted by Winston, who came storming through the door with few bags of food from the the store.
"Nick, what the heck was that about back there" Winston shouted coming in the door. Then he looked he hadn't walked in at a good time. He looked over and saw Nick who walked over into the kitchen to hide the fact he was nearly crying from Winston, and Jess was also in the same sort of state.
"Ah, I'm going to go back out, just going to leave this stuff here by the door." Winston knew he had walked in on something serious when he put the shopping down, he backed out of the loft slowly and closed the door.
Jess walks over to the Nick who has his back to her. She begins rubbing his back gently to comfort him.
"Nick, are you going to be ok?" She asked him.
"I'm scared Jess" He turned round to look face to face with Jess. Jess had never seen Nick like this before. "I'm scared cause if this kid is mine, someone in this life is going to need me to depend on, and that scares me, cause I wouldn't depend on me, I can hardly look after myself, just barely getting through life" As he said this he began to cry. He wrapped his arms round Jess hugging her. She began hugging him as well wrapping her arms around his waist.
