The doctors started to revive Jess from out of her coma as promised. Nick was now refusing completely to leave her side unless he absolutely had to. Joan and Bob were in the room and Schmidt, Winston and Cece took turns sitting in the room. No one really spoke much, just staring at Jess looking for some sign that she was waking up.

Schmidt was still having trouble believing that he was sitting in a hospital waiting for his roommate and his best friend's pregnant wife to wake up from a coma, it seemed to real. He couldn't even imagine what it would feel like if it were Cece laying there instead.

He watched as Nick held Jess's hand a played with her fingers, Schmidt had seen Nick do this so many times before. Jess was his rock, the one he turned to. Everyone had been surprised at how quickly after Jess moved in that it started happening. At this present moment he needed her more than anything else but she wasn't really here. It was hard to watch, watching Nick after his break up with Caroline was nothing compared to this. Schmidt didn't know what to do, so he just sat there with Nick in silence.

Even though they all knew Nick and Jess getting together was inevitable, Schmidt did have his concerns. He would have hated to lose of of them if it ended badly.

The biggest shock was the baby. That he was not expecting.

Schmidt was getting ready for a night out with Cece, when he heard the door open. To find Cece letting herself in.

"Hey what are you doing here, I thought I was picking you up." He was mildly surprised but seeing Cece was always good whatever the reason.

"Jess texted me asking to come come to the loft?" It wasn't anything new for Jess to do that so he thought nothing of it.

At that point Winston came in, "oh good they aren't here yet." Looking around the room.

"Who's not here?" Schmidt asked.

"Nick, got a text saying to be at home. Thought it was strange, Nick only texts when he absolutely has to."

"How come I didn't get a text. Aren't I as important if not more important that the 2 of you... Sorry Cece." Schmidt quickly added that last part added as a after though, after all she was the one that provided him with his nightly excursions.

"Anyway" Cece said completely ignores Schmidt's comment. "We might as just wait till they come they come home, they obviously have something to say "

They waited about half an hour before Nick and Jess finally arrived.

During that time they tried to guess at why they were being brought together. Each theory getting more and more preposterous from Schmidt and Winston's point of view. Cece loved Schmidt but sometimes she couldn't quite believe what came out of his mouth.

Nick and Jess opened the door of the loft to see their friends sat on the sofa, Schmidt couldn't help but be suspicious at how happy they looked.

Nick had changed when he started dating Jess, it was nauseating at first to be around them, but a blind man could see that she made his very grumpy friend happy. But today was a different, and Schmidt couldn't put his finger on it.

"Oh good your all here." Nick exclaimed.

"You did ask as all to be here. Except Schmidt. We can send him away if you like." Winston enjoyed winding up Schmidt it was just too easy.

"Hey man, not cool." Schmidt was slightly vexed, why couldn't he be here. Maybe they wanted to plan him a surprise party?

"No it's fine, I knew Schmidt would be here. Couldn't be bothered to send two texts." Nick pulled a turtle face at just that though.

"So what is all this about? Are you moving out?" Cece was getting impatient to know what was going on and them moving out seem to be the most logical explanation, she knew that they were talking about it.

"Errr no not quite." Jess responded. She looked right at Nick, but then nodded her head towards the perplexed group by the sofa. Nick seemed to answer her without using words, and she nodded her head again this time to agree.

This use to really annoy Schmidt he like to know what was going on and with his other roommates having their own conversation right it front of him... He didn't like it.

"Ok well guys we do need to tell you something and I don't know how your going to take it." Nick started hoping to easy into the conversation. Another quick look at Jess he took her hand and took a deep breath. He looked pointedly at the group and started again "The thing is.. we are ...having a baby." There he had said it.

Schmidt started laughing "Jezz you guys, you almost had me there. Now tell us what is really up."

Cece and Winston definitely believed the couple this was not something they would joke about. Especially Nick.

Jess moved towards Schmidt as if he was a dangerous animal. Her movements slow and careful. "Schmidt it's true."

Schmidt looked over at the two standing nearer to him to see their reaction at Nick and Jess's practical joke, but when he saw their faces in what can only be described in complete and utter shock. The truth started to sink in. "Oh my god."

Nick came to stand by Jess again. The look he was giving her was one the others had never seen before. There was always love when their eyes met, but this time there was that little bit extra, a mix between possessiveness, and total awe. He arm around her waist. "Look we know it may be a bit on the fast side and we certainly didn't plan this, but we are happy. We hope you guys would be too?"

Cece shook herself out of her complete astonishment, "wow, I mean WOW! I suppose congratulations" Went forward to give Jess a big hug. Nick looked expectantly at his friends. Who just stood there. Winston was the first one to move. "Right yes of course congratulations you guys." This time it was his turn to hug the happy couple.

They all looked at Schmidt, "Schmidty you alright?" Nick wanted his friends to be happy for them but he knew Schmidt out of all of them would struggle.

"You have got to be kidding! This is not happening, I mean you just got married." Schmidt woke up, he didn't like change and this was a big change.

"Schmidt!" Now he was being scolded by Cece.

Nick knew what to do. "You want to see the scan picture Schmidt?"

Schmidt didn't move.

"Ooh I do." Answered Cece instead. He pulled the picture out of his wallet and Cece and Winston cooed over it. Schmidt tried to ignore them but he did want to see that scan.

"Fine, give it here then." He final conceded. When he saw the print it hit him. His best friends were about to have a baby! A baby for crying out loud. "You are part of this too Schmidt." Nick could read Schmidt better than he thought.

"He will have to have me around to make sure you clowns dress him correctly." He was almost hogging the picture, even though Winston was trying to get it out of his hands.

"Come on now." Jess was trying to look like she was annoyed at what she just heard. "It could be a girl."

"It's a boy." Nick argued with Schmidt and Winston nodding enthusiastically.. A girl please..

It had taken Schmidt a little longer than the others to get excited about the baby. But as the weeks went by and he saw Nick and Jess getting ready to extend their family. He started to want that for himself.

Then he saw it, their kids growing up together, BBQ's at a weekend, where he was obviously going to cook. He wasn't going to rely on Nick for that.

Jess needed to wake up and soon because if something happened to her and the baby. He had no idea how he was going to help Nick out of this one.
