A/N: Hey guys! Just wanted to thank you all for your support, reviews and follows. You are all amazing! And before you ask, this is not the last chapter :) I am planning at least 1 maybe 2 more chapters after this.

Its exactly 1 week until Christmas!

I don't own New Girl :)

The next couple of days Nick showed Jess around Chicago. He took her to the Aquarium and The Botanical Gardens (even though it was snowing but it was still beautiful and Jess loved it all the same). They had lunch at his favourite pizza cafe in Little Italy where they tried Dessert Pizza for the first time (an addition to the menu since Nick had been there last). At Jess' urging they made snowmen and snow angels at one of the parks that he took her and ended up also having a snowball fight which resulted in Nick pinning Jess to the ground begging her to surrender.

"No! I won't surrender!"

"Give it up Jess, I win this fight!"

"No way! You totally cheated."

"How can I cheat at a snowball fight when it is just between you and I?"

"I don't know how but I know you cheated."

Nick remained silent for a moment. "I have a way to show you I didn't cheat."

"How?"

Xxxxxxx

"I will never accuse you of cheating in a snowball fight again." Jess gave Nick a gentle kiss as they laid in the backseat of the car. "I forgot how fun car sex was. I feel so rebellious doing it in your mum's car."

"Can you not mention my mother after we have sex? That's such a turn off." Nick looked down at his girlfriend in his arms. "And to think we could have done this longer."

"What are you saying? That you're ready for round 2?"

Nick silenced Jess with another kiss and pulled her on top of him. "I'm always ready for round 2."

Nick was helping his Mum clean up after dinner. Jess had excused herself after dinner to call Cece as they hadn't spoken in a few days and Jamie was in the lounge room with Aunt Ruth (who had arrived at the Miller residence during the day) and were watching Deal or No Deal together. "Hey Ma'. I'm glad I'm home this year for Christmas. I know it's not easy since Dad died." Nick said as he loaded the dishwasher.

"Oh Nicky, I'm glad you're here and that you brought Jess. She's a special girl." Bonnie said, putting away the remaining leftovers in the fridge.

Nick smiled. "Yeah she is." He cleared his throat and looked straight at his mother. "I, uh, heard you two talking in here the other night."

Bonnie looked at her son. "What did you hear?" She had a feeling where this was going, she knew her son too well.

"Not a lot."

Bonnie gave Nick a look.

"Ok everything." Nick sheepishly admitted.

"While I don't condone you eavesdropping on our conversation. I will say this. Jess is a little scared to tell you how she really feels and from what you have told me about her exes, I don't blame her. But she also reminds me of two other people who I know can be afraid to tell people how they feel."

"Who?"

"You and your father." Bonnie walked up to her son and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Walt was the same, he could never really talk about his feelings when it came to myself or you kids. Don't be afraid to tell Jess. Goodnight." Bonnie walked out of the kitchen.

"Night Ma'."

Jess had just gotten changed into her flannelette pyjamas and was getting into bed when Nick walked into his childhood bedroom. "Hey Jess, how did your phone call with Cece go?" He took off his jeans and changed into sweatpants.

"Good, she told me how Schmidt is obsessing over the New Year's party he is holding. He is freaking out over every single detail. The lights, the food, the drinks, the decorations. You know he's even trying to find the perfect toilet paper? No one will care about the toilet paper. Cece is trying her best to stay out of it but Schmidt isn't allowing that. I think she's kind of wishing she had joined Nadia at some spa for the week instead of staying home."

Nick laughed as he crawled into bed and pulled Jess to him, she curled up to his side, instantly feeling relaxed in his arms. "That's Schmidt for you. Every single minor detail has to be perfect." He looked down at Jess before leaning in for a kiss, which slowly intensified. "Hey you know what we could do…." Nick trailed off cheekily, a big grin on his face.

"We can't Nick, your family will hear us. Jamie is across the hall, Aunt Ruth next door. And we both know that neither of us can be quiet, especially when we need to be. Maybe we can sneak out for more car sex after Christmas lunch tomorrow." Jess suggested instead.

Nick smiled. "That sounds like something to look forward to. Can't believe tomorrow is Christmas already."

Jess' blue eyes got wide. "I know! I hope Bonnie likes the present I got her, and Jamie. I really didn't know what to get Aunt Ruth especially since when I saw her last she was talking about the green stuff – if you know what I mean – but I found something that I hope she will like." She rambled on.

Nick put a finger to her mouth. "Jess, shush. They will love whatever you got them. I am sure."

"You're probably right." Jess leaned across Nick to turn off the bedside lamp. "Let's get some sleep." She kissed him again before snuggling in his arms and fell asleep in no time.

As Jess slept peacefully in Nick's arms, all he could think was "I love you Jess. So so much. I just don't know how to tell you." Before drifting off to sleep himself.

A/N: If you have never tried dessert pizza, TRY IT. Oh my goodness so yummy!
