Thank you so much for the review. Also a quick special thank you to MayaLala, who has been very helpful.

Thankfully there were no more incidents that day and the doctors deemed Jess well enough to go for a scan. It was the waiting around for the results that set everyone on edge.

Joan, Bob, Cece, Schmidt and Winston were all sitting down in the waiting room for any kind of news. Nick however couldn't sit still, he was up and down, then up again, walking to the door of the room peering through it to see if anyone was coming, then sat down again.

"Nick, please sit down and stop doing your own impression of a Jack n Box, they will tell us something when there is something to tell." Schmidt just happened to be the first one to say it, but everyone else was thinking it.

They got a mumbled apology from Nick, who sat down again, this lasted about 10 minutes before he was at it again. Only this time when he was at the door, it whacked into him as the doctor came through. Bob couldn't help the smirk that appeared on his face, until he remembered why the doctor was there.

The doctor gave Nick a curious look as he entered the room, but he knew what they all wanted and cut straight to the point "It's good news the swelling has reduced considerable, we give her another 24 hours and tomorrow we will start to wake we up."

"So she will be alright? Tomorrow she will be awake?" Nick asked his voice full of hope, so relieved at the thought of seeing those blue eyes again.

"Ah no, sorry I thought someone had explained it to you." The Doctor looked a little uncomfortable as the smile on everyone's faces disappeared fast. "Jessica has to still wake up herself she could still be in the coma for the next couple of days. But she is heeling well I see no reason as to why she shouldn't wake up. You just have to be patient with her." He explained.

"How is the baby doing?" Nick asked before the doctor could walk out of the room. "The baby's heartbeat is strong, though we are still a little concerned with the amount Jessica has gone through. The code this morning not helping, but everyday we are able to keep the baby inside is another day she has to develop."

"That's some good news at least. Right guys?" Joan always tried looking in on the bright side and in times like this one of them had to. "Sure" Nick muttered, he just wanted this nightmare to be over with and have his family healthy.

Joan and Bob were staying in a hotel near the hospital as Nick was the only one allowed to stay with her during the night. After such an eventful day. He was glad to be alone with her.

"I knew when I asked you to marry me that you would make my life stressful, but I think you may be pushing it now." He paused as if she was talking, not unlike his chats with Tran. "Yes of course I know this isn't you fault. But I thought we had agreed when planning the wedding you were going to go easy in me afterwards...No I never thought you meant that. I figured that out 6 weeks later when you told me you thought you were pregnant... yes of course the wedding was worth it. The afterwards was more fun, don't you think?...See that's what I thought."

Nick had been working on a present for Jess before the accident. He had read somewhere that music calms pregnant women, he could and would use anything possible to achieve that. So he had gotten an iPod with all her favourite songs on it, along with music that had meant something to both of them. Cotton eye Joe was one of them for example. Sort of like a modern mix tape, one of Nick's specialties .

Winston had brought it in earlier on Nick's request. He checked it was fully charged pulled the chair closer to Jess and put one of the headphones into her ear and the other one in his and press play. The music filled his head and for the first time he began to relax a little and close his eyes.


"Agggghh I can't do this!" Jess threw down the paper that was in her hands. She looked and felt a mess, her hair was piled on top of her head but most of it was making its way out of the band keeping it there, her glasses making their way down her nose. "Stupid Miller, thought he go and be all romantic and propose, then leave me with the planning. Not cool Miller, not cool."

"Talking about me again Jess?" Nick had just finished a shift at the bar and was looking forward to getting home and chilling in front of the TV, one look at Jess told him this was not going to be possible.

"You! This is all your fault!" she pointed to him to add the effect.

"What did I do now?" Nick exclaimed, racking his head over things he may have done recently to upset her

"This!" She held her hands out over the table that was covered in paper. "The caterer wants a decision on the main meal; people keep changing their minds on where they want to sit, why did I ask people if they had a preference , your mom and my mom are disagreeing on practically everything. I can't take it any more!"

Nick just stood there watching her break down, he hasn't realized that things had gotten so bad for her. Everyone knew he was bad at planning, hell even the customers at the bar knew it. So admittedly he kind of stepped back from the planning thinking Jess had help from their mom's and Cece.

"Are you just going to stand there?" Jess was looking for answers from him, she knew she may have been acting a little unfair but at that time she didn't care.

"Ok. What can I do?" Nick had to resolve this and quick, or he would pay later, at this rate there may not even be a wedding.

"You really want to help?" Jess looked at him as if she didn't really believe him, also did she really need his help. She was remembering the port a potty incident.

"Of course I do, I haven't a clue what to do but I'm here at your service."

Jess had no choice but to accept his help, she was desperate after all.

Before she could say anything her phone rang for what felt like the 100th time that day. She answered it on speaker phone. "Hi Bonnie" the way she answered Nick could tell this was not the first call from his Mom Jess had that day.

"Jess listen I know what your mom said about the flowers but I really don't think we want that for this wedding. I have contacted a friend of mine, who can get better flowers more in season. I've given him your number just thought I'd let you know to expect the call." Bonnie rapidly spoke out spoke out as if she didn't really mind if Jess was listening or not.

"But Bonnie, we had decided..." Jess tried to talk to Bonnie but she was having none of it

"Sure, sure, but I don't think it will work. I've already emailed you mom" With that she hanged up.

Jess's head hit the table. Why did she introduce Bonnie and Joan to email. Just as Nick went to say something, Jess put up her finger to stop him. About 10 seconds later her phone rang again "Hi Mom." Jess sounded exhausted

"What's this about the flowers, I have already spoken to the florist because we had agreed on them." Joan was not happy. This was her daughters wedding after all shouldn't she get to help with the flowers.

"I don't know Mom, I'll have to get back to you."

When Jess got off the phone she just looked at Nick, he needed to fix this and fast for her sake but for his own too.

"OK that's it I have seen enough." Nick walked to the table, like a man on a mission, He picked up her mobile and switched it off.

"Nick! I need that!"

"You can be without for an afternoon Jess." He took the computer that was open and typed an email to both their Moms saying that Jess won't be available for a few hours.

He crouched down by her chair, his hands on her knees "Let's get this sorted the way we want it, not my Mom, not your Mom, but us.. this is our wedding Jess. I'm sorry I haven't been much help but I am here now." Jess was so happy that she could cry, she pretty much did. She lent forward to Nick who was still in front of her and kissed him, it was a sweet kiss just a little one to say thank you. Jess could say thank you properly later. For now this was enough.

Nick got Jess some pink wine and him some beer and they ordered a Pizza. They then spent the rest of the day planning with no interruptions. It turns out that when you aren't arguing over ever single detail you can get through things a lot faster. It was rather fun for Jess. Not so much for Nick but it was good to see Jess happy again. And the wedding was just the way THEY wanted.

When they had finished they cuddled on the sofa, enjoying the peace and quite they rarely got these days. "Things will be calmer after the wedding right Jess?"

Jess wanted to laugh at that statement, this was them he was talking about when had anything been calm with the two of them, but he had been so great that day she didn't want to disillusion him. "Sure Nick, of course."

"Good, you promise?

"I promise."


A little while later a nurse came into the room to find Nick's head on Jess's bed very much asleep with the iPod between them. She couldn't and wouldn't move him, since the first time he arrived at the hospital he looked peaceful.
