"So that's how you and Schmidt got back together." Jess said as she and Cece sat on her bed, getting ready for a wedding they were all attending.

"Yep, and now we've been married three years, I've never been happier." Cece revealed, gripping at her wedding ring.

"I can't even believe it; the two people I expected to never get married have the best marriage." Jess shook her head.

"Now only if you and Mr. Miller could get back on track…"

"Stop it! Stop it!"

"You two have been so back and forth the past four years."

"I know, we know, and that's why we're going as dates to the wedding, giving us an opportunity to rekindle that spark."

"That might be a good idea, but I don't think the lack of spark was the problem." Cece smiled.

"Oh look at you." Jess grumbled.

"What?" Cece laughed.

"You and your 'I'm-married-now-so-I-automatically-give-the-best- relationship-advice' look."

"Jess, that's not what I'm doing, I just want you and Nick to be happy."

"I know." Jess sighed, "And you know how much I love you and Schmidt."

Cece bowed her head, "I do."

All of a sudden the door opened and Schmidt popped his head in, "Jess, Nick's out there, wants to talk to you."

"Oh!" Jess popped up, "Time to make my grand appearance!"

As she left, Schmidt sat down on the bed, "Well don't you look gorgeous." he said of his wife's dark red dress that hugged her body in all the right places.

She scooted closer to him in a dark grey suit, "You don't look so bad yourself."

"Every guy is going to be looking at you tonight; I better keep my guard up."

"Your guard up?" Cece laughed.

Schmidt grinned, "Yeah, you know, protect my lady."

Cece covered her face from laughing, "You're so weird."

He bowed his head with an obvious smile plastered on his face, "Say what you want, you married the weirdo."

"It's true." Cece said as she played with his hands, "I love you."

"I love you too, and it's been a hell of a ride to get there, babe."

"You said it; I mean I for sure thought Nick and Jess would be the ones to settle down first."

"Well those two are in their own romantic world." Schmidt joked, "I say tonight at this wedding open bar, we drink to us, to our three years and many more."

Cece took a deep breath. It was time.

"I don't think I'll be drinking."

Schmidt was slightly confused, "What, why…" and then it dawned on him, "Oh my god, are you…"

Cece nodded her head repeatedly, "Honey, we're going to have a baby."

Schmidt's eyes grew unlike anything she had ever seen. His breathing slowed and he kept mouthing to himself, "We're going to have a baby."

But as soon as she saw that smile, that Schmidt smile appear on his face, she knew he wasn't repeating that phrase out of panic, but out of pure joy.

His smile took over his face and tears began to fall, "We're going to have a baby!"

Cece then began to cry and the couple shared a hug. Schmidt's eyes focused directly on Cece's and it was a moment unlike any other. She had never been more in love with this man than she was right now. She even flashed back to when they had a pregnancy scare in the height of their fling. She was terrified then, of becoming a mother and even more so having Schmidt as the father to her child. But now everything was different. He was her husband, and they had been happily married three years. This was the next step in their life, and she couldn't have been more excited.

"I love you so much." He cried.

"I love you too." Cece replied as they sealed the deal with a kiss, "I found out two days ago and I was looking for the right time to tell you and…"

"Honey, honey, calm down it's okay; I'm just over the moon right now."

"I know you would be I couldn't wait for this reaction."

Schmidt laughed, wiping his tears of joy away, "You know me, always mister emotional."

Jess popped back in the room, and noticed tears were flowing in her room, "Hey, is everything alright in here?"

Schmidt stood up and put his hands awkwardly on Jess' face, "Jessica Day, I am going to be a father."

"You're going to be a…oh my god, Cece! Schmidt! OH MY GOD!"

Nick came in too, "Seriously, bro?"

Schmidt nodded, "Yeah, we're going to have a baby, oh my god I can't stop saying that."

"Congrats, man." Nick nodded, giving his best friend a man hug that lasted a little longer than Nick would have liked it, "Wow, Schmidty, you're going to be a dad, that's just…wow."

"Wow?" Schmidt said as he pulled away from the hug.

"Yeah, I mean who would have thought, right?" Nick nervously laughed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Schmidt was confused.

"Nothing, you know, um, just that we always talked about how awful we'd be as fathers, and you're the self-proclaimed douchebag. I just didn't know that this is what you wanted."

"That was four years ago, Nick. I've grown up, alright, I got married and the mother of my child? Yeah, she's not some random girl, she's my wife. And it's Cece nonetheless, the woman who I have loved for so long. Things are going right for me and just because they aren't for you doesn't mean you try and bring me down."

And with that, Schmidt walked away, frustrated.

After the wedding Cece and Schmidt sat at a table. Schmidt kept playing with his glass of water, and wasn't saying much.

"Is something wrong?" Cece asked, patting his leg.

He suddenly snapped out of his funk, "What, huh, no! No, there's nothing wrong!"

Cece wasn't fooled, "Schmidt, I know you better than that. What's wrong?"

Schmidt scrunched his face, "It's Nick, he…he just said something earlier about me and, I don't know, it just made me…nervous I guess. What if I'm an awful dad, what if our kid hates me? What if..."

As he trailed off, Cece grabbed his hands, "Honey, I don't know what Nick said, but I'll tell you this. I love you, okay? You have been the greatest husband to me and I know you will be the most amazing father to our baby. I know that."

Schmidt blushed a bit, "Thanks, babe. You're the best."

He leaned into Cece as their lips met for a loving kiss.

Meanwhile Nick watched on as Cece and Schmidt were in an embrace. Jess came up behind him, "What's cooking good looking!" she sang to him.

"Hey, Jess." Nick said, still staring at Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt.

"What are you looking at?" she peaked across his shoulders.

"Nothing." He replied simply, wrapping his arm around her.

"Now what's happening?" Jess was confused.

Nick looked right into her eyes and said, "I know we've been back and forth for forever. But I'm ready to grow up now. I want to do this right with you. Jess, I want to have a future with you."

"Really?" Jess couldn't believe it, "Nick that's so incredible, I'm so happy!" she practically jumped in his arms.

As the two hugged Jess turned her neck to look at him, "But I have to ask you, Mr. Miller, what gave you the change of heart?"

Nick let his eyes peak back over to Cece and Schmidt who were now on the dance floor, swaying back and forth with smiles on their faces. And it could have been just Nick's imagination acting up, but he could have sworn that a ray of light from somewhere struck down on Schmidt's wedding band that made it shine.

Nick dreamed of the day when he had a wedding band of his own, when he could dance with the woman who meant everything to him. And yeah, he was jealous of Schmidt earlier, but now he knew he had the girl of his dreams right here in Jessica Day and he was going to do anything to keep it that way, all thanks to his good friends Schmidt and Cece.

A/N: Well, it's been a few weeks since the season 2 finale of New Girl and what a finale it was. The love triangle between Cece/Schmidt/Elizabeth looks to be good next season but come on, Schmece all the way!

Anyway, this is probably the end of this little story, but I have a few more ideas for this up my sleeve if there's interest. Hope you liked it, with some more inclusion of Nick and Jess!
