KatB

Thanks, hope you like it!

lessismore

Awwww you are such a good writer! This was amazing!!! Everyone is here!

Can you guess my fave two thinsg? I LOVED IT SO MUCH! Sorry that I neglected here bb

KatB

Does it have anything to do with Nick and Schmidt? Or perhaps Cece kissing Schmidt? Thanks. I have been on a roll lately. I have more that I wrote after that but I wanted to wait for you to read this part. I also wanted to expand the story to more than just Schmidt and Cece. I wanna see the whole gang interact.

lessismore

You are close
First of all I need to emphasize how I loved to read the whole part. I also loved Reagan's excitement, that was so sweet However my two favorite things were:

1.
2.
And then Schmidt and Nick of course. Schmidt missed his Nicholas and Nicky missed his Schmidty

KatB

Aww....that's so cool. I knew you would love the bromance.

Getting Ready

Reagan: Okay, so Cece and Schmidt will be here on Fri, right?
Nick: I think so.
Reagan: Nick!
Nick: I'm on it.
He quickly texts Schmidt.
Reagan: Thanks.
Nick: Okay, but I still don't see what all the fuss is about.
Reagan: This is my first Christmas, settled and in a relationship. I just want to do it right.
Nick: And that means decorating on Dec 2nd?
Reagan: For me, yes it does.
Nick: Well then you got it.
Reagan: Winston, Nick said yes, you owe me a week of bathroom duty.
Winston: Aww man, Nick? The one year you aren't a scrooge. I thought I had this one in the bag.
Reagan: So that means, so far you owe me, bathroom duty, taking out the trash for a week, and grocery shopping for two weeks.
Nick: Winston?! Why would you keep betting?
Winston: The law of averages.
Nick: The law of averages.
Winston: Yeah, the law of averages, at some point, she has to be wrong, then I will win.
Nick: But look at all you have lost.
Winston: But one day, I will be the victor.
Winston has a look on his face to indicate, he doesn't get it.
Nick: Yeah Winston, you will.

Friday Night
Jess: Okay, so the Chinese food is on it's way.
Cece: That's good cause baby is hungry.
Jess: I'll be glad when you can no longer blame eating all my food and blaming it on the baby.
Cece: He is a Schmidt baby, what can I say?
Schmidt: Not much you can do, when Schmidt babies are hungry, they are hungry.
Knock knock. Ally walks in.
Ally: Hey guys.
Winston: Hey!
He hugs her. She joins the group.
Schmidt: Hey guys, I just wanna say before we start, thank you for all your help while I was working overtime to get the promotion.
They all stare at him to continue.
Jess: And....
Schmidt: I got it!
All: Yeah, way to go, yay!
Cece: Seriously babe, you deserve it.
She kisses him and hugs him.
Nick: Okay, lets go get the boxes from storage before the food arrives.
Schmidt: Yeah, okay.
Winston: Let's do this.
They eat and work on decorating the loft. Everyone is having fun.
Jess: Cece, why don't you just stay in the guest room?
Cece: No Jess, I'm fine.
Winston: You have been asleep for a half hour.
Cece: I'm sure it hasn't been that long.
Jess: You started to drool a bit.
Reagan: We have the room. Why not and I'm sure Nick wouldn't mind?
Nick and Schmidt are playing a video game.
Cece: I'm sure he wouldn't. Okay....babe?
Schmidt: Yeah?
Cece: It's late. Why don't we just spend the night?
Schmidt: Really?!
She nods. Nick and Schmidt hug all excited, like the little boys they are.
Jess: Come on Cece, I'll get you settled.
Cece: Okay.
Cece kisses Schmidt goodnight.
Cece: I'm going to head to bed. Night babe.
Schmidt: Okay, night Nick.
Cece: No Schmidt, I need the sleep. You need to spend time with Nick.
Schmidt: You sure?
Cece: Yeah.
He kisses her. She leaves and the guys embrace again. So excited.
The next morning, Jess is in the kitchen.
Cece: You're up already!
Jess: Of course. I wanted to have a quiet morning with you girl.
Cece: Well, since Schmidt didn't get to sleep till sometime after 2am, I think we have a couple hours.
Jess: Yay, I love Schmidt but we haven't gotten enough time one on one time since the wedding.
They drink coffee eat muffins and enjoy each others company.
Cece: So get this. Schmidt has started texting almost every hour, when we aren't together.
Jess: Well Cece, you are nine months pregnant. I'm surprised he waited this long to go into full Schmidt mode.
Cece: That's true. Last Saturday, he went through the house and baby proofed the house.
Jess: Well, that's not so strange.
Cece: Putting a lock on the toilet and cabinet locks on all the cabinets, when the baby isn't even born yet?
Jess: Okay, I'll give you that. But it's also really sweet.
Schmidt: That's my husband, sweet but over the top.
Winston walks into the kitchen. The girls are cleaning up after their breakfast and girl chat.
Winston: I missed girl chat? Again?
Jess: Afraid so.
Cece: Sorry sweetie.
Moments later.
Ally: Aww, did you miss girl chat?
Winston: Girl chat? I don't know what you are talking about. I was just looking for the muffins and I see that they are all gone.
Cece: Sorry about that.
Jess: Yeah, we know how much you love.....muffins.
Nick and Reagan come out of their room, into the kitchen.
Nick: What's all the commotion? There are people trying to sleep you know?
Jess: It's 10 am Nick.
Nick: Yeah, but I am a writer, we don't keep normal hours.
Jess: So, what's going on today?
Reagan: Well, I wanted to go shopping but the writer needs to think.
Nick: It's not that. I need to ponder.
Reagan: What's the difference?
Nick: People think, writers ponder and they need time alone to do that. Why am I talking to you guys? You're not writers.
Jess: Okay. Anyway, if you want some company, I'm free.
Reagan: Okay, why not? Ally, Cece? Wanna make it a girls day out? Shopping and a late lunch?
Ally, Cece: Okay, sounds good.
Schmidt: Cece can't go.
Cece: Schmidt!
Schmidt: It's just that you have had a couple full days and I thought....
Cece: Schmidt, you really need to relax. Go to the denim barn, buy a new belt. But whatever you do, spend one day not worrying about me or the baby.
Schmidt: I can't. I have so much to...
She kisses him.
Cece: This is your day, Schmidt. No baby talk or prep today.
She turns to Winston.
Cece: Got that?
Winston: Don't you worry. There won't be any thinking or worrying with ol Winnie the Bish around.
Schmidt: I'm spending the day with Winston?!
Winston: Thanks for asking, Schmidt.
Schmidt: When did I ask?
Winston: It wasn't what you said, but what you didn't say. I read between the lines.
Schmidt: Lines, what lines? There where no lines!
Winston: That's okay, I know it's hard for you to express how you feel. That said, Winne saw right through it.
Schmidt, knowing he wasn't going to win.
Schmidt: Okay, so what time do you want to leave?

lessismore

It was so funny and cute, aww girls day out when Cece s pregnant 9 months? I'd be freaking out too!

BTW I think you wrote Cece's quote to Schmidt there "That's my husband, sweet but over the top."

Schmidty is the best haha.

KatB

Thanks, I liked that too. I don't think shopping and a late lunch is too much though.

lessismore

Probably but I understand Schmidt freaking out

KatB

Me too. Plus it's their first and he wants to be better than his dad.

lessismore

Wasn't it nice to get an answer as to why Schmidt's parents didn't even talk at his wedding? I really liked that he mentioned it

Well he is always over the top but I think he is right in this situation

KatB

It's always nice when writers notice or put in stuff like that. I also like little things like on Reagan when she agrees to take a look at the loft and he gives her the address. I hate when tv shows or movies have someone show up and it's like how did they get the address, or how did they get that phone number?

I guess he is right but he is also just being all Schmidt. Did you like him baby proofing before the baby arrives and months before he will be crawling or walking?

lessismore

Absolutely agreed. I like getting answers even with the little things. Like Nick not being shaved when Winston saw him and him saying " I started from the bottom and I came here" Remember that one? I remember you liking that too!

I still kinda wish we get a moment between Schmidt's parents tho. Maybe it happens when the baby comes?

I absolutely loved him going all Schmidt and baby proofing everywhere. I mean there is no such thing as baby proofing it's child proofing but yeah this is Schmidt and I love that he is so all over the Schmidt about the baby. There is no bad surprises ahead right?

KatB

My stories are like a Hallmark movie, wrapped in a warm blanket. No bad surprises, ever!
