New Girl Convo Game #4: Suggest a prompt / Choose characters / Write a convo / Have fun ;)
 

Kat I tried to make a list of stories so far. Would you please control them and also post the whole stories for "A Trip To Remember" and "Game Night"? So I can link them to the list too. ;) :hug: Also maybe we can write an abstract for stories on the list too.

Will do. Once it's complete, I can post the whole thing.


Babysitting Part 1

Cece: What do you mean you said yes?
Schmidt: I had to, I mean, I am still on probation at work.
Cece: I know, I just don't know how we are going to handle it this weekend. I mean, I have to work, then there is a lecture for school that we were going to attend.
Schmidt: About that...
Cece: Schmidt!
Schmidt: No, yes. Of course, looking forward to it. (Under his breath) Like I look forward to a root canal.
Cece: What was that?
Schmidt: Nothing, a lecture on women in society, their past and their future, sign me up.

Knock Knock
Cece: Kim, come on in.
Kim: Here he is. I also have his diaper bag.
Cece: That's it, for the entire weekend? I would have thought you would have brought over a truck load of supplies and instructions.
Kim: Oh, I did. Schmidt and a guy who thinks wearing a Hawaiian shirt is a good idea...
Cece: Winston.
Kim: Anyway they are down, unloading the SUV, right now.
Cece: I see. Well, do you have any instructions?
Kim, is on her phone
Ding
Cece: Oh, there it is. (looking at her very detailed email)
Just then the guys come in, weighted down by stuff.
Kim: Okay, that's about it. So, I will see you Sunday night. Oh, and one more thing, screw up, even a little bit and you will wish all I do is fire you.
Schmidt nods, very scared of the consequences

Cece: Okay, so I have to go to work. Are you sure you got this? I would stay home but Paul is out this week.
Schmidt: Go, don't worry, we got this. (Schmidt and Winston look at Cece, not instilling confidence.)
Later
Winston: Tom is crying, Schmidt.
Schmidt: Thanks for the newsflash, Winston!
Winston: Well, I was just thinking maybe we should do something.
Schmidt: Like what? I have never taken care of a baby before. Have you?
Winston: Not really, but how hard can it be? We have both seen people do it on tv.
Schmidt: I guess you should, ya know, maybe check his....
Winston: Me, why me?
Schmidt: Cause you are a cop, you handle dangerous situations everyday.
Winston: No doubt, no doubt.
Schmidt: Here's the diaper bag. (Getting the stuff ready)
Winston: Okay, yeah. Now I know why he was crying. He will be five pounds lighter after we finish.
Schmidt: Okay, have you got the diaper off yet?
Winston: Wha!!!!!! Oh, no you didn't! (Winston gets sprayed)
Schmidt: What's happening? (Schmidt gets sprayed) Ahh..... (He immediately throws up and is no more use to Winston)
Winston: Come on man! Get it together!
Another 20 minutes and two diapers later and Tom is dry. The kitchen, on the other hand, is the opposite of Schmidt's standards. Of course, Schmidt is half to blame for that situation.
Schmidt: (talking on the phone) Okay babe, see you soon. Okay Winston, we don't have long to get this place together before Cece comes home.
Winston: What's the big deal?
Schmidt: If we let Cece see this mess, she will never let us forget it. She will never let your girlfriend forget it either.
Winston: I'll get the trash bags.
They frantically clean. Schmidt in one room. Winston, in the other. The whole loft was is disarray. So, Winston took a bag of trash and walked out. Moments later, Schmidt takes out a bag of trash.
Schmidt: Winston! What are you doing out here?
Winston: I took the trash out. What's the big deal?
Schmidt: The big deal is, if you and I are here, who is with the baby?
Winston: Yeah, I get that.
They run back to the door.
Schmidt: Come on, Winston! Hurry up.
Winston: You aren't....look what you made me do!
Schmidt: Get out of the way, let me handle this. Ah, it's jammed. I just need to (clank)
The key broke off in the lock.
Schmidt: What are we going to do?
Winston: Calm down.
Schmidt: The baby is in there alone Winston!
Winston: I know, but panicking won't help anything.
Schmidt: Well, tell me what to do then. What do we do?
Winston: I got this.
He calls a locksmith.

Meanwhile Nick comes out of his room. He has been there all along.
Nick: What, who are you and why are you here alone?
The baby cries a bit.
Nick: Wanna play with my keys?
Nick plays with the baby
Later, the baby is crying
Nick: What do you want? Stop crying. Why won't you stop crying?
The baby continues to cry. Then Nick starts crying.
Nick: Pull it together man! I know, YouTube, I bet they can tell me what to do.
After watching a few videos. We see him trying different things like, cut to
Nick singing an inappropriate song.
Scaring him with one of Jess' dolls. He cries.
Trying to play hide and seek. The baby just sits on the ground.
Gives him ice cream, the baby just stares at him.
Meanwhile
Schmidt: Where is this locksmith Winston?!
Winston: I don't know man. He said he was on his way.
Schmidt: Well he better get here soon. I'm freaking out!
Winston: It's gonna be okay, Schmidt. He is going to come and he is going to unlock the door so we can get to the baby, before.....
Schmidt: What?! You....
Cece: What's going on? Why are you locked out and why isn't the baby with you?
Winston and Schmidt: Well, see....what happened....we were cleaning up....the trash...
Cece: One at a time. Schmidt, what is going on? When I called you twenty minutes ago, you said everything was good.
Schmidt: I know I did.
Cece: Well, then. Why?
Schmidt: I know how much you want to have kids and I thought if you found out that I locked the baby inside, that...that....
Cece: What? That because of this, I would change my mind? You are my husband Schmidt. I chose you. Fot better or worse, we are stuck with each other.
Schmidt: I know, but I don't think I can be a good dad, Cece.
Cece: Did I ever tell you about the time I babysat Nadia's baby?
Schmidt: No.
Cece: Yeah, well when I was watching him, he rolled off the couch onto the floor, twice.
Schmidt: Haha....really?
Cece: Yeah, the point is, I don't know anything about being a parent either. We are going to make mistakes, but we can make them together.

The locksmith just left. They rush in.
Cece, Schmidt: Tom!
They run frantically looking for him. They are making a lot of noise and a mess.
Nick: What is going on? I just got the baby to sleep.
Schmidt: The baby?
Winston: Where did you come from? How long have you been here?
Nick: My room, I have been here all day.
Schmidt: Well then, why did you ignore us when we called you to help with the baby stuff earlier?
Nick: Well, I think that's obvious.
Cece: That you were too lazy to help, yeah.
Schmidt: So, the baby, he is okay?
Nick: Where were you guys? Babies need attention.
Winston: We know that!
Nick: I was just saying...
Schmidt: Nick!
Nick: He's okay. What's the big deal? It's a baby not a ya know....
Schmidt: Nick, I swear if...
Cece: What Schmidt is trying to say, is that you don't have the best track record with shall we say, living things.
Flashback to his cactus dying, putting up lost dog posters, a goldfish being flushed.
Nick: He's fine. He is taking a nap in Jess' room.
Cece: Why Jess' room?
Nick: Well, my room isn't really baby proofed, and Winston's room could give anyone nightmares.
Winston: What?!
Schmidt: I think he is referring to that big ugly scary mural on your wall.
Winston: You told me you liked it.
Schmidt: No, I believe my exact words were, what on earth were you thinking?
Winston: I know, that's what I'm talking about. (they look at him and shake their heads) What, that's not a good thing?

Later the day on Saturday, the loft is disheveled, the couple is asleep on the couch. The baby is playing to himself in the pack and play. Jess comes in.
Jess: Hey you. Welcome baby. (he starts to cry)
Schmidt and Cece bolt awake.
Both: Wha? Is everything? Jess!
Jess: Don't worry, me and the baby
Both: Tom!
Jess: Tom and I are just getting antiquated. (picks up the baby, who is crying more. He is clearly upset)
Cece quickly takes the baby.
Schmidt: You're getting aquatinted, he is freaking out.
Jess: You are over reacting. I'm a professional. Kids love me. Trust me. You know what? I bet it's my new purfume. Kids react to odors more so than adults. I remember this one time...
Schmidt: I'm going to stop you right there.
Jess: So, you know what I'm talking about?
Schmidt: I don't know, I've literally stopped listening.
Cece: Babe, it's going to be fine.
Schmidt: Well, that's it.
Cece: What?
Schmidt: I can't go.
Cece: Oh, you are going!
Schmidt: How Cece? She was going to babysit for us.
Cece: Jess has this covered. Right Jess? (gives her a look)
Jess: Go, I have everything under control.
Nick: Plus, I'll be around in case she needs back up. ( he says from behind them)
Both Schmidt and Cece: Nick! What?
Cece: Where did you come from?
Nick: What? I've been here for like twenty minutes?
Cece: Did you watch us sleep?
Nick: Today?
Schmidt: What? How often do you watch us sleep.
Nick: What do you mean by often?
Both horrified: Nick!
Nick: I don't know what the big deal is? I have been watching you sleep since college.
Schmidt: What?!
Nick: You know, I think we are getting off topic. I can help Jess.
Jess: Guys, I don't need help. I'm a child educator.
Cece: Babe we know, we would just feel more comfortable...
Schmidt: Okay, Nick. Thanks. But don't think we are done talking about you spying on us.

Later that evening. The baby is on the floor, in Jess' room playing. There is a crash and bang.
Nick: Ouch!
Jess runs to see. Jess: Nick, what's going...
Nick: I think I sprained my wrist.
Jess: And banged up your face pretty bad. What were you doing?
Nick: Nothing.
Jess: Nick!
Nick: I was exercising.
Jess: Exercising?
Nick: Yeah, I decided to get into shape.
Jess: Nick!
Nick: Okay. I was trying to go from the couch to the refrigerator.
Jess: Last time I checked, that didn't involve a bloody nose. (she is cleaning up his face at this point.)
Nick: Yeah, it does when you don't touch the floor.
Jess: Are you serious? There is like five feet between the couch and table.
Nick: Seven feet.
Jess: Don't say that with pride. You have to grow up Nick.
Nick: If growing up, means having no fun, then I want no part of it.
Clang
Jess: Tom!
Nick: What?!
Jess: We forgot Tom. (she says, running down the hall way)
Tom is sitting on her floor, covered in colors, from Jess' markers he found and glitter that he knocked off Jess' table. Jess' floor and wall is a mess.
Jess: Tom!
He starts crying. She goes to pick him up, it doesn't help.
Nick: Gimme him.
He takes the baby, he is still fussy and doesn't like it when Nick trys to clean him up. So he sings to him.
Nick: (singing) When you are out on the road, feeling lonly and so cold. All you have to do is call my name and I'll be there, on the next train.
Jess: You told me you didn't like that show.
Nick: I don't. I only watched it when we were dating. I was trying to be a good boyfriend.
Jess: You were. I can't believe you stopped watching when you did. I mean the end of season five.
Nick: You kept our deal, right?
Jess: Yeah, yeah....no one knows. I don't know what the big deal is, guys can watch.
Nick: I didn't watch, I sat with you while you watched Luke lie to Lorelai about April.
Jess: Ah ha!
Nick: Ah ha, what?
Jess: The last episode we watched was 522, we don't meet April till season six!
Nick: So, I happened to see something when I walked through the living room.
Jess: We'll just see about that. (goes to look at Nick's Netflix page)
Nick: What are you doing? There is no need to....
Jess: I knew it!
Nick: Okay, it wasn't because I liked it. It was because I don't like to leave things, you know, I like to finish what I started.
We see a flashback to a really sad looking but finished model of a boat, a crossword puzzle that looks like it took a lot of time and is still mostly wrong, and a song that looks like it was written by a five year old.
The newlyweds come home and see Nick alseep on the couch, holding the baby, Jess is asleep on the floor next to the couch. They take the baby and leave them to sleep.
Jess: (waking up) Nick!
Nick: Starts singing, "where you lead, I will follow"
Jess: Nick, the baby. He's gone.
Schmidt: Will you keep it down. We have a baby.
They are both releived and just go back to sleep without moving.

The next morning.
Ally: Okay Winston, ready to go?
Winston: Ally! Change in plans.
Ally: A change...
Winston: Yeah, see with the baby here, the guys haven't had much sleep or quiet so I told them that we would take them for the morning.
Ally: We?!
They pull into the driveway.
Ally: I can't.
Winston: Yes you can. I know you. You are the most, best person I know.
Ally: Most best? And I can not. A mommy and me class? What were you thinking?
Winston: It was on Tom's schedule and we can not deviate from the schedule.
Ally: I get that but what am I doing here?
Winston: Well, I haven't seen you all week and I can not go another week without seeing you due to you working nights all month.
Ally: I know just kids, babies and me, they just don't mix.
Winston: Babies love you. Don't worry. Let's go.

They are all singing to the baby, Winston is like a proud papa. Ally looks as out of place as anyone could be.
Winston: Tom, what's the matter buddy? You need your pacifier? Hungry? Need a new diaper? (He won't stop crying) Here take him while I get his bottle ready.
He hands Tom over to Ally who looks terrified, he immediately stops crying.
Ally: Wha? Winston! What is happening?
Winston: Look at that, he likes you.
Ally: He does not. He doesn't even know me.
Winston: Babies are very intuitive.
Ally: Babies are not that smart, they are babies! They smile and laugh at the stupidest things.
Flashback
Teenage Ally is babysitting. What are you laughing at? That cup is not funny. Elmo really?!
Ally: Just take him.
Winston: Okay. (Tom starts crying, holding out his arms) See!
Ally: What? He doesn't like me. He can't like me.
Winston: (He pulls her aside, so they are alone) What are you talking about?
Ally: I'm not a kid person you know that.
Winston: Well, I'm sure it will be different with our own kid.
Ally: That's just it. I don't want kids.
Winston: What? Why?
Ally: What if our kids don't like me? I'm not you know comfortable with kids and babies.
Winston: They will loove you.
Ally: Winston.
Winston: They will love you. There is no question in my mind.
Ally: You are just saying that cause Tom seems to like me. (he is now asleep in her arms)

Ally: Winston, what are we doing here? We have a baby. You do realize that?
Winston: Just because we have a baby, the fun doesn't stop and I wanted you to know that. So I thought I would take you to your favorite place and show you that even with a baby, you can still be you and we can still be us. Cause things will change, no doubt about that, but you will never loose yourself.
We see them inside a really big trampoline park. Winston has Tom in a baby sling. All tight and secure. They start bouncing around and he seems to like it. Then we see Ally bouncing around looking super happy. Now Winston is doing back flips and so on, while Ally watches with the baby. Then they show the baby how to bounce, even though he can barley stand. Now Ally jumps with the baby and he is laughing a lot.

Schmidt: Where are they?!
Cece: I don't know babe. I have been right here with you.
Schmidt: I knew we shouldn't have let Winston take the baby.
Cece: Calm down Schmidt, I'm sure they are okay.
Buzz
Schmidt: Ahh...
Cece: Schmidt!
Kim: I'm downstairs.
Cece: Come on up.
She buzzes her in. Schmidt is sweating it out.
Cece: Come on in.
Kim: How was he?
Cece: He was good, very easy to take care of. He is such a happy baby.
Kim: I was talking about your husband.
Cece: Well, he is not a happy baby.
Kim: Well, okay. I don't want to take up any more of your time so....
Schmidt: What's your rush? We want to hear about your trip Kim.
Kim: Are you stalling?
Schmidt: Wha, wh, why would I need to stall everything is fine. Look at these pictures, Tom had a blast.
Kim looks at the pictures, amused. For a brief moment it works. Then she sees her son bouncing up and down on a trampoline, strapped to a strange woman's chest.
Kim: What is this?
Schmidt: What is what? Oh it looks like Winston added pictures to the google album.
Kim: Who is this woman? Why is she putting my son in danger?
Cece: Calm down Kim. That is Ally, Winston's girlfriend and she is a cop. Tom is perfectly safe.
Kim: He is with them now? Next thing you know they will take him sky diving.
The next picture is of them rock wall climbing with Tom.
Cece: Haha, never.
Quickly closes the album before Kim can see.
Winston: We are back!
Kim: Where is he?
Winston: He is right here.
Kim grabs him and checks him over to make sure he is okay.
Kim: He seems to be okay. Even so, wait till you come back to work on Monday Schmidt.
Schmidt: Yes, of course.

Later....
Schmidt: Okay, so this is good. I have been needing to look for a change in jobs for a while.
Cece: Babe, you don't even know that you are being fired.
Schmidt: I know but I think it's about time. Maybe I should open my own business. I mean, there will never be a better time. Our house is done, and we are ready to move in, our debt is to a minimum, thanks to all the extra work we took on and we haven't started our family yet.
Cece: About that...........

OMG this is new!!! I will read ASAP my bb :yay: :hug:

It shouldn't be new. This is what started my series. So to speak.

Ohhhhhhh babysitting!!!!! I've read it many times! :lmao: :hug: Added to the list!

I knew you had. Cause you were the one that insisted I continue. :lol:

It's so gratifying that you have read it more than once. :blush:

I have another story all ready to go. But I wanna wait and have a few stories ready to go. So, I'll post the rest of the stories in order, everyday this week. I'll need you to post in between though.

Part 2 Moving Day

Schmidt: Okay, so I checked the weather and it looks good for this Tuesday.
Cece: Babe, you have looked at least ten times a day since we set the date.
Schmidt: I know but rain would seriously jeopardize our plans.
Cece: I get that. But we live in southern California. We aren't known for our rain. So just relax.
Schmidt: I'll try but this is the only time that all of us could agree on for at least two or three weeks and if we have to live with all of these people for another month!
Cece: Babe, that's not going to happen. Everything is going to be okay.
Schmidt: Okay well, anyway, I need to get to work. Because if I am late.
Cece: I know, Kim. How are things going with her anyway?
Schmidt: Okay, but then again, I try and stay invisible. Although, that's against my nature but this isn't a time to be taking risks.
He kisses her goodbye and rubs her belly.

Nick (talking on Facetime to Reagan): Hey how's it going?
Reagan: Not too bad, just a couple things to wrap up, then I'll be ready to hop on the plane.
Nick: I can't wait.
Reagan: Yeah, well I can't wait to have a permanent address for the first time in a while.
Nick: Thanks!
Reagan: You know what I mean.
Nick: I do.
Reagan: So they are really okay with me moving in?
Nick: Yes.
Reagan: All of them?
Nick: Yeah, we took a vote. I told you this.
Reagan: I know, I guess I just needed to hear it again.

Schmidt: Alright everyone! Come on, come on, come on!
Winston, Nick, and Jess come out of their rooms.
Winston: Schmidt! It's 5am man! You gotta get a hobby.
Jess: 5am?!
Nick: Night!
They all head towards their bedrooms.
Schmidt: That's okay. You go back to bed. I'll pack up by myself. Maybe your stuff will still be here when you get back.
Jess: Schmidt, you wouldn't.
Cece: Jess, you know he is going to....
Nick: Come on, it's not even daylight.
Cece: You guys know that he isn't going to stop. So you might as well all just give in.
Winston: Well, do you at least have donuts?
Schmidt: That junk, trash food! Not in my house!
Cece: (Pulls out a box of fresh donuts) Here! Now can we get to work?
They all start organizing and packing. They are moving stuff around. Schmidt is in the kitchen, packing what seems to be the entire kitchen.
Nick: Schmidt, I thought you were only taking what was yours.
Schmidt: I am. When we moved in, you bought a plate and a spoon?
Nick: Yeah.
Schmidt: A spoon? Not even a fork, a spoon?
Nick: Yeah, think about it. I mean, with a spoon, you can eat both your steak and soup. Try doing that with a fork.
Winston: I know I have more than two things.
Schmidt: You do. All your stuff is on the table. It's a what I like to call, things that I only see on tv pile.
We see a crape pan, the Clever Cutter, Yolk Magic Egg Separator, Borner V-Slicer Mandoline Plus and a lot more.
Winston: Yeah, these were all really good investments.
Schmidt: Investments? If this is what you think is an investment, what do you deposit at the bank?

Cece and Jess are going through Cece and Schmidt's stuff in their room.
Jess: Here you go, I think you missed this.
She hands her a baby onesie. It has the name of their hometown on it.
Cece: Jess. How?
Jess: You're my girl.
Cece: Does anyone else know?
Jess: Who, the slow puzzler and Nick? Relax, they are still in the dark.
Cece: Thank you Jess. Schmidt really wanted to wait till we were all moved in and settled and past the three month mark.
Jess: Well, you rest easy.
Schmidt comes into the room, quickly.
Schmidt: Cece, I hope you aren't straining yourself or.... Jess, what, I didn't see you there!
Jess: Relax Schmidt, I know.
Schmidt: Know what? How much I love my wife?
Cece: She knows.
Schmidt goes to speak.
Cece: Ah, I didn't tell her and no one else knows. So, take a deep breath. I'm fine, baby is fine.
Schmidt: Okay, as long as you promise not to lift anything over 15 pounds?
Cece: Schmidt, the doctor...
Schmidt: Jess, will you watch her please?
Jess: Of course.

Winston: I bought the lamp!
Nick: You're wrong. I bought the lamp.
Winston: Nick, I hate to correct you but........
Schmidt: Guys, what's going on? Why are you arguing about who owns the lamp when you aren't leaving?
Winston: We just wanted to get that out of the way now.
Nick: Yeah, so when one of us does move, that will all be settled.
Winston: Yeah!
They high five! They are all smiles, proud of their idea.
Schmidt: Please, you two are not going anywhere! Ted Cruz will be ending his third term before you two move out.
Winston goes to speak.
Schmidt: They will vote to allow three terms, when Cruz gets the White House. And he will be leaving before you two bozos.
Nick: Hey that was a bit harsh.
Winston: Yeah man. We both have serious girlfriends.
They high five again.
Schmidt: I'm sorry and I gotta say, I never saw this day coming. Me married to a model....
Winston: Former Model.
Schmidt ignores him.
Schmidt: ....and you two! Reagan and Ally? You guys are really dating up! Just like I taught you. I couldn't be more proud.
They share a group hug. The ladies come out into the living room.
Cece: Schmidt is gonna want a sleep over within a week.
Jess: Nick is gonna demand it.

Schmidt: Careful with that hutch! It's real walnut.
Jess: Don't worry Schmidt, they got it.
Bang!
Schmidt: Winston!
Winston: What?! Don't look at me. It was Nick.
Nick: Sorry, I thought I heard my phone.
Cece: You have been glued to your phone recently. What's up?
Nick: It's Reagan. She doesn't want to move here.
Jess: Did she say that?
Nick: Well, no.
Winston: Then?
Nick: It's not what she said, it's more....
Jess: A feeling?
Nick: Yeah.
Winston: You need me to call her?
Nick: No that's okay.
Winston: Don't worry man. I can be cool. Plus me and Reagan have a special, you know....
Nick: Connection? ( as Jess nods her head)
They move the rest of the stuff into Jaipur Aviv, which has been beautifully restored. Cece starts a fire in the fireplace, since it's fall and 60 degrees in Southern California and that's fireplace weather.
Schmidt: Babe, the guys are getting restless. Better order a pizza.
Cece: There is a Chinese food place right around the corner, I'll just go pick something up.
Schmidt: You have been on your feet all day.
Cece: I'm not sick, just pregnant.
Schmidt: I would just feel better if you would just take it easy. So would you please just order the pizza?
Cece: Yes. (She kisses him softly and hugs him to let him know she is okay)

Reagan: Winston, what's going on? I don't have time for your weekly update.
Winston: This isn't that, although speaking of what's going on...
Reagan: Winston!
Winston: Right. Well, I have always felt like we had a special you know...
Reagan: Connection, go on.
Winston: Yeah and as such, I feel that I should tell you. You are a really good person you know that.
Reagan: What?
Winston: You are a really good person and friend. I also think you are a really good salesman, woman, person...
Reagan: Winston!
Winston: Nick is afraid he is going to loose you.
Reagan: What?!
Winston: Well, you don't seem too excited about the move and have postponed coming.
Reagan doesn't say anything.
Winston: Reagan, you still there?
Reagan: Yeah. So he really thinks that?
Winston: No, I think he is just nervous cause he likes you so much. I haven't seen him this happy in a while.
Reagan: Thanks.

A few days later.
Nick: I don't know what you said to Reagan but she moved up her move. She will be here next week.
Winston: Yeah well, Reagan and I....
Nick: Your connection.
Winston: So you noticed?

A few weeks later.
Jess: (on the phone) It came. Of course we will be there.
Cece: That makes me so happy. We can't have a house warming party without you guys.
Jess: I'm surprised you thought that was a possibility.
Cece: Well, we aren't living with you guys anymore and....
Jess: So Cece, no matter where you live, we will always be family.
Cece: I just miss you girl.
Jess: We just saw each other on Friday night.
Cece: You know what I mean.
Jess: I do. But we will all be there on the 15th to help you celebrate.

Later that day.
Cece: Babe?
Schmidt: Yeah.
Cece: How many people did you invite to our house warming?
Schmidt: Don't worry, I kept it simple.
Cece: Simple?
Schmidt: Yeah, no more than 200.
Cece: 200?!
Schmidt: What can I say? I know a lot of people.
Cece: You mean you have a long list.
Cut to her talking to Jess later at the house
Jess: A long list?
Cece: A list of people who wronged or belittled him, that Schmidt now has to show up.
Jess: Oh, sure. Well then, what are you going to do? You can't fit 200 people in this house.
Cece: I wouldn't worry about that. I don't expect any of them to show up. I mean one was a guy we ran into one time at the gym and hit on me. In front of Schmidt.
Jess: You are probably right. I saw him write down the name of a woman who questioned whether or not he could afford a horse.
Cece: A horse?
Jess: It's a long story.

It's the morning of the 15th. Schmidt is frantically cooking.
Cece: Babe, did you even go to bed last night?
Schmidt: I got in a tight 15.
Cece: Schmidt, you need to relax.
Schmidt: Tomorrow, I can relax then.
Cece: Now!
She pushes him out of the kitchen, towards the bedroom.
Schmidt: But! I have...
Cece: No buts, the only thing you have to do is get some sleep. It's only 7am and the party isn't till this evening.
Schmidt: Okay, but I am only going to sleep for 30 minutes.
Cece: Okay, now go.
There is a knock on the door as Jess walks right in.
Jess: Hey! How's it going?
Cece: Good. I think we are all ready for this evening.
A few minutes later.
Jess: I have been in the kitchen for a good twenty minutes and Schmidt is nowhere to be found. Not even cleaning the living room.
Cece: I sent him to bed.
Jess: Is he being punished?
Cece: He stayed up all night, getting ready for this evening.
Jess: Sure.
Cece: Plus he has been stressed about the baby lately.
Jess: Why? Is everything okay?
Cece: Yeah, but you know Schmidt.
Jess: I do. So, is there anything that I can do?
Cece: You can start in the living room? Just a quick clean, then we can set up the food.
Jess: I'm on it.
Later that afternoon. Winston is outside, getting the grill ready. Ally is helping in the kitchen.
Schmidt: Ahh....
He comes running into the living room, then the kitchen.
Schmidt: Cece! It's 4pm!
Cece: Sweetie, calm down. It's okay. Winston has the grill going and we cleaned and got all the food set up.
Schmidt: Yeah, it's just....
Cece: It's going to be fine and you needed to sleep.
Schmidt: Guys, thanks. I really appreciate all the help.
Robbie: (Walking into the room) No problem man.
Schmidt: Robbie!
He hugs him.

Hours later the party is underway.
Nick: Guys, this party is great.
Reagan: Yeah and the house looks great. Nick showed me the before pictures.
Schmidt: Thanks.
Cece: So glad you could make it. You all settled in?
Reagan: Yeah, for the most part.
Nick: Yeah, it took a bit of rearranging to fit all our stuff in your old room.
Schmidt: I'm sure.
People are milling around. Looks like 30 people ended up showing up. It's nice enough to allow some of the guests to gather in the backyard around the grill.
Winston: Here you go.
He hands someone a piece of chicken.
Ally: You are such a great cook.
Winston: Aww, come on. You are just saying that, because you love me.
Ally: No, I mean it. I have heard people talking.
Nick: Winston, I'll take another piece.
Winston: Nick, that's your third piece.
Nick: I know and I was full after the first. When the food is this good, you play with pain.

Hours later, most of the guests have left. The gang is cleaning up.
Schmidt: Hey guys, thanks for all your help.
Cece: Yeah really, we couldn't have done this without you. And not just today. This house....
Schmidt: This house is us, all the hard work we put into it. You guys are welcome here anytime.
Cece: Yeah and we may need more help in the future. With this little one.
She rubs her belly. Schmidt is beaming. They all erupt in congratulations.
Nick: Congratulations man! You finally did it.
Winston: I am so happy. Uncle Winston. Winnie. Uncle Winnie!
Ally: Well, we will babysit anytime.
Cece: Really? I thought...
Ally: I'm trying to be more open.
Winston: She really is.
Nick: Well, I am here for you man. Need help with the nursery, the crib, I am here.
Jess: And I am here, if you want to build a crib that is actually safe.
Nick: What?! I am good at building things.
Cut to Nick building a bench for the bar, it leans to the left. A spice rack that has nails sticking out and a coat rack that falls over the first time someone puts a coat on it.
Cece: Thanks Jess.

I remember this story, It's really great...and this are my favorite parts.
I can totally see Nick doing all this....especially the crying part :lol:

Nick and Jess watching Gilmore Girls :melt:

Thanks. Yeah, you know Nick liked GG. But he wouldn't admit that. :lol:

Part 2 Moving Day

Schmidt: Okay, so I checked the weather and it looks good for this Tuesday.
Cece: Babe, you have looked at least ten times a day since we set the date.
Schmidt: I know but rain would seriously jeopardize our plans.
Cece: I get that. But we live in southern California. We aren't known for our rain. So just relax.
Schmidt: I'll try but this is the only time that all of us could agree on for at least two or three weeks and if we have to live with all of these people for another month!
Cece: Babe, that's not going to happen. Everything is going to be okay.
Schmidt: Okay well, anyway, I need to get to work. Because if I am late.
Cece: I know, Kim. How are things going with her anyway?
Schmidt: Okay, but then again, I try and stay invisible. Although, that's against my nature but this isn't a time to be taking risks.
He kisses her goodbye and rubs her belly.

Nick (talking on Facetime to Reagan): Hey how's it going?
Reagan: Not too bad, just a couple things to wrap up, then I'll be ready to hop on the plane.
Nick: I can't wait.
Reagan: Yeah, well I can't wait to have a permanent address for the first time in a while.
Nick: Thanks!
Reagan: You know what I mean.
Nick: I do.
Reagan: So they are really okay with me moving in?
Nick: Yes.
Reagan: All of them?
Nick: Yeah, we took a vote. I told you this.
Reagan: I know, I guess I just needed to hear it again.

Schmidt: Alright everyone! Come on, come on, come on!
Winston, Nick, and Jess come out of their rooms.
Winston: Schmidt! It's 5am man! You gotta get a hobby.
Jess: 5am?!
Nick: Night!
They all head towards their bedrooms.
Schmidt: That's okay. You go back to bed. I'll pack up by myself. Maybe your stuff will still be here when you get back.
Jess: Schmidt, you wouldn't.
Cece: Jess, you know he is going to....
Nick: Come on, it's not even daylight.
Cece: You guys know that he isn't going to stop. So you might as well all just give in.
Winston: Well, do you at least have donuts?
Schmidt: That junk, trash food! Not in my house!
Cece: (Pulls out a box of fresh donuts) Here! Now can we get to work?
They all start organizing and packing. They are moving stuff around. Schmidt is in the kitchen, packing what seems to be the entire kitchen.
Nick: Schmidt, I thought you were only taking what was yours.
Schmidt: I am. When we moved in, you bought a plate and a spoon?
Nick: Yeah.
Schmidt: A spoon? Not even a fork, a spoon?
Nick: Yeah, think about it. I mean, with a spoon, you can eat both your steak and soup. Try doing that with a fork.
Winston: I know I have more than two things.
Schmidt: You do. All your stuff is on the table. It's a what I like to call, things that I only see on tv pile.
We see a crape pan, the Clever Cutter, Yolk Magic Egg Separator, Borner V-Slicer Mandoline Plus and a lot more.
Winston: Yeah, these were all really good investments.
Schmidt: Investments? If this is what you think is an investment, what do you deposit at the bank?

Cece and Jess are going through Cece and Schmidt's stuff in their room.
Jess: Here you go, I think you missed this.
She hands her a baby onesie. It has the name of their hometown on it.
Cece: Jess. How?
Jess: You're my girl.
Cece: Does anyone else know?
Jess: Who, the slow puzzler and Nick? Relax, they are still in the dark.
Cece: Thank you Jess. Schmidt really wanted to wait till we were all moved in and settled and past the three month mark.
Jess: Well, you rest easy.
Schmidt comes into the room, quickly.
Schmidt: Cece, I hope you aren't straining yourself or.... Jess, what, I didn't see you there!
Jess: Relax Schmidt, I know.
Schmidt: Know what? How much I love my wife?
Cece: She knows.
Schmidt goes to speak.
Cece: Ah, I didn't tell her and no one else knows. So, take a deep breath. I'm fine, baby is fine.
Schmidt: Okay, as long as you promise not to lift anything over 15 pounds?
Cece: Schmidt, the doctor...
Schmidt: Jess, will you watch her please?
Jess: Of course.

Winston: I bought the lamp!
Nick: You're wrong. I bought the lamp.
Winston: Nick, I hate to correct you but........
Schmidt: Guys, what's going on? Why are you arguing about who owns the lamp when you aren't leaving?
Winston: We just wanted to get that out of the way now.
Nick: Yeah, so when one of us does move, that will all be settled.
Winston: Yeah!
They high five! They are all smiles, proud of their idea.
Schmidt: Please, you two are not going anywhere! Ted Cruz will be ending his third term before you two move out.
Winston goes to speak.
Schmidt: They will vote to allow three terms, when Cruz gets the White House. And he will be leaving before you two bozos.
Nick: Hey that was a bit harsh.
Winston: Yeah man. We both have serious girlfriends.
They high five again.
Schmidt: I'm sorry and I gotta say, I never saw this day coming. Me married to a model....
Winston: Former Model.
Schmidt ignores him.
Schmidt: ....and you two! Reagan and Ally? You guys are really dating up! Just like I taught you. I couldn't be more proud.
They share a group hug. The ladies come out into the living room.
Cece: Schmidt is gonna want a sleep over within a week.
Jess: Nick is gonna demand it.

Schmidt: Careful with that hutch! It's real walnut.
Jess: Don't worry Schmidt, they got it.
Bang!
Schmidt: Winston!
Winston: What?! Don't look at me. It was Nick.
Nick: Sorry, I thought I heard my phone.
Cece: You have been glued to your phone recently. What's up?
Nick: It's Reagan. She doesn't want to move here.
Jess: Did she say that?
Nick: Well, no.
Winston: Then?
Nick: It's not what she said, it's more....
Jess: A feeling?
Nick: Yeah.
Winston: You need me to call her?
Nick: No that's okay.
Winston: Don't worry man. I can be cool. Plus me and Reagan have a special, you know....
Nick: Connection? ( as Jess nods her head)
They move the rest of the stuff into Jaipur Aviv, which has been beautifully restored. Cece starts a fire in the fireplace, since it's fall and 60 degrees in Southern California and that's fireplace weather.
Schmidt: Babe, the guys are getting restless. Better order a pizza.
Cece: There is a Chinese food place right around the corner, I'll just go pick something up.
Schmidt: You have been on your feet all day.
Cece: I'm not sick, just pregnant.
Schmidt: I would just feel better if you would just take it easy. So would you please just order the pizza?
Cece: Yes. (She kisses him softly and hugs him to let him know she is okay)

Reagan: Winston, what's going on? I don't have time for your weekly update.
Winston: This isn't that, although speaking of what's going on...
Reagan: Winston!
Winston: Right. Well, I have always felt like we had a special you know...
Reagan: Connection, go on.
Winston: Yeah and as such, I feel that I should tell you. You are a really good person you know that.
Reagan: What?
Winston: You are a really good person and friend. I also think you are a really good salesman, woman, person...
Reagan: Winston!
Winston: Nick is afraid he is going to loose you.
Reagan: What?!
Winston: Well, you don't seem too excited about the move and have postponed coming.
Reagan doesn't say anything.
Winston: Reagan, you still there?
Reagan: Yeah. So he really thinks that?
Winston: No, I think he is just nervous cause he likes you so much. I haven't seen him this happy in a while.
Reagan: Thanks.

A few days later.
Nick: I don't know what you said to Reagan but she moved up her move. She will be here next week.
Winston: Yeah well, Reagan and I....
Nick: Your connection.
Winston: So you noticed?

A few weeks later.
Jess: (on the phone) It came. Of course we will be there.
Cece: That makes me so happy. We can't have a house warming party without you guys.
Jess: I'm surprised you thought that was a possibility.
Cece: Well, we aren't living with you guys anymore and....
Jess: So Cece, no matter where you live, we will always be family.
Cece: I just miss you girl.
Jess: We just saw each other on Friday night.
Cece: You know what I mean.
Jess: I do. But we will all be there on the 15th to help you celebrate.

Later that day.
Cece: Babe?
Schmidt: Yeah.
Cece: How many people did you invite to our house warming?
Schmidt: Don't worry, I kept it simple.
Cece: Simple?
Schmidt: Yeah, no more than 200.
Cece: 200?!
Schmidt: What can I say? I know a lot of people.
Cece: You mean you have a long list.
Cut to her talking to Jess later at the house
Jess: A long list?
Cece: A list of people who wronged or belittled him, that Schmidt now has to show up.
Jess: Oh, sure. Well then, what are you going to do? You can't fit 200 people in this house.
Cece: I wouldn't worry about that. I don't expect any of them to show up. I mean one was a guy we ran into one time at the gym and hit on me. In front of Schmidt.
Jess: You are probably right. I saw him write down the name of a woman who questioned whether or not he could afford a horse.
Cece: A horse?
Jess: It's a long story.

It's the morning of the 15th. Schmidt is frantically cooking.
Cece: Babe, did you even go to bed last night?
Schmidt: I got in a tight 15.
Cece: Schmidt, you need to relax.
Schmidt: Tomorrow, I can relax then.
Cece: Now!
She pushes him out of the kitchen, towards the bedroom.
Schmidt: But! I have...
Cece: No buts, the only thing you have to do is get some sleep. It's only 7am and the party isn't till this evening.
Schmidt: Okay, but I am only going to sleep for 30 minutes.
Cece: Okay, now go.
There is a knock on the door as Jess walks right in.
Jess: Hey! How's it going?
Cece: Good. I think we are all ready for this evening.
A few minutes later.
Jess: I have been in the kitchen for a good twenty minutes and Schmidt is nowhere to be found. Not even cleaning the living room.
Cece: I sent him to bed.
Jess: Is he being punished?
Cece: He stayed up all night, getting ready for this evening.

Put the link in the OP ;)

Thanks.

Part 3 The Visitor

Schmidt walks into the kitchen. Cece is on the phone.
Cece: Sounds good, see you then.
Schmidt: Who was that?
Cece: My mom. She wanted to come visit before the baby comes.
Schmidt: Your mom is coming? That's great.
Cece: Yeah.
Schmidt: Well then why aren't you excited?
Cece: We just moved in. We aren't ready for company. The guest room is a mess and we have so much work to do on the nursery.
Schmidt: It's going to be okay. Your mom isn't coming here, expecting everything to be perfect. She is coming to spend time with you and to help you out before the baby comes.

A few days later. Jess walks into the house.
Cece: Hey Jess, how's it going?
Jess: So your mom is coming?
Cece: Yeah, Schmidt said that she wants to help before the baby comes.
Jess: And you?
Cece: I don't know. She has been more open since the wedding.
Jess: Open?
Cece: Yeah, you know, she is more open to hearing what I want. She was so excited to hear that she was going to be a grandmother. You should have seen it.
Jess: So where is Schmidt?
Cece: He is at work.
Jess: This late?
Cece: Yeah, he has been putting in a lot of extra hours lately. He is trying to prove himself at work before the baby. There is a promotion coming up and he has some making up to do with Kim.
Jess: Well, this should definitely help.
Cece: It will.
Jess: Cece.
Cece: It's just with my mom coming...
Jess: What can I do?
Cece: You are a lifesaver. Can you go to the store? I have a list on the frig. I have to clean a bit, then I have to go to work.
Jess: We got this.
She pulls out her phone and texts the guys. Within an hour or so, Winston and Nick are at the house. They are cleaning. Setting up the guest room.

Nick: Okay just a little more to the left.
Winston: Okay, how's that?
As they put the bed into place.
Nick: Sheets, we forgot sheets.
Winston: I got that covered. I texted Ally and she is on her way.
Nick: I can't believe Schmidt is going to be a dad.
Winston: I know. Thank goodness we taught him how to do laundry.
Nick: Haha, his OCD is going to go into overdrive.
Winston: I know, right?!

Later on
Jess: Hey guys, this looks great.
Winston, Nick and Ally all look happy as to how the room all came together.
Winston: I can't wait for Cece to see it. When does she get home.
Nick: Sometime after 11pm.
Jess: I guess we should order a pizza.
Nick: Well, I guess I'll go call Reagan.
They all eat pizza and relax while they wait for Cece to come home.
Schmidt: Wha, why, what's going on? Do you guys just come over and hang out when we aren't home? I mean, when I said you were always welcome, I don't think this is what I had in mind.
Jess: Relax, we were helping you out.
Schmidt: Helping?
Jess: We set up the guest room. For your guest!
Schmidt: You did that?
Jess: Yeah... (he hugs her and she stops talking)
Schmidt: Sorry guys, I am just so tired and I come in and you are all hanging out.
Winston: We get it man.
Jess: You are working too hard, call your boss and tell her you are going to take the day off tomorrow.
Nick: Yeah man, it's almost midnight.
Schmidt: I can't.
Jess: Yes you can.
Schmidt: Jess, I can't. I have a big presentation on Monday and it could mean a promotion if I nail it.
Winston: Well, just know we are here for you man.
They all hang out and eat. Then Cece comes home.
Cece: Hey! What are you all doing here?
Jess: What do you mean, what are we doing here?
Cece: Well, I thought you were going to go grocery shopping, and that's it. I didn't expect....
Winston: You are family and you do for family. So get used to it.
Nick: Come see the bedroom.
Cece: You guys, this is too much.
Winston: So when does your mom get here?
Cece: Tomorrow at 2pm, and I have an appointment and Schmidt is working.
Nick: Say no more, I'll pick her up.
Schmidt and Cece get ready to say something.
Nick: Don't worry, I'll get the right mom this time. Man, you kidnap one person and people won't let you forget it.

The next day, at the airport.
Nick is holding a picture of Mama P.
Mrs P: Nick, it's nice to see you again.
She goes to open the door.
Nick: I'm sorry but I have to ask.
Mrs P: Yes.
Nick: I am going to need to see some ID.
Mrs P: What?!
Nick: Yes, well I have a history of getting this sorta thing wrong.
Mrs P: Nick, you know me. I was at Cece's wedding last year. I helped calm you down before your best man toast. Although, had I known you were going to say that.....
Nick: Okay, that's enough.

Later, at the bar.
Cece checks her phone.
Cece: Looks like my mom made it in okay.
Jess: That's great. I can't wait to see her.
Cece: I don't know if I should have told Nick to bring her here.
Jess: Why not?
Cece: She is a professional. You should have seen her, when I told her I was going to be a model. But, bartender?
Jess: Oh honey, it's going to be okay. You'll see, you are worrying for nothing.

Kim: Schmidt
Schmidt: You wanted to see me?
Kim: Yes, are you ready for your presentation?
Schmidt: I am, I just have a few things to tweak.
Kim: Well, tweak fast.
Schmidt: What?
Kim: Yeah well, they needed to move up the meeting?
Schmidt: To?
Kim: Friday.
Schmidt: It's Thursday!
Kim: I know but they are one of our biggest clients. So, can you handle it? If not, I can call Randy.
Cut to, Schmidt talking to Cece and Jess.
Jess: Randy?
Cece: Randy is the other guy who is up for the promotion. He is 28, and likes to rely on others to do his work. I can't believe that Kim is considering him for your job.
Schmidt: Yeah, so now I have less than 24 hours to get ready and your mom is coming.
Cece: Babe, it's going to be okay.
Schmidt: I know but we were going to take her to dinner and....
Cece: Don't worry.
Jess: Yeah, we'll just have dinner at your place, then you can go off and get ready and we can help entertain Mama P.
Schmidt: Are you sure?
Both: Yeah, absolutely.

Nick and Mama P walk in.
Nick: Yeah, so Schmidt and I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and invested.
Cece: Mom!
Mama P: Cece. Let me look at you.
Cece: It's only been a few months mom.
Mama P: Yeah, but a lot has happened in that time.
Cece: Yeah, I guess so.
Mama P: So, are you just about done here?
Cece: Yeah, I know a bar isn't your favorite place.
Mama P: It's not that, I'm just tired. It's been a long day and I wanna get settled and see your house.
Cece: Sorry, of course you must be tired. Let me just get my things. You good here Nick?
Nick: Yeah go, I got this.
They leave.

At the house, they are giving Mama P the tour.
Cece: And this is our room.
Schmidt: We have plenty of room for a bassinet right here till junior moves to the nursery.
Cece: Here is the guest room. Hun, can you go get mom's bags.
Schmidt: Absolutely.
Cece: Wanna see the nursery?
Mama P: Please.
Moments later.
Cece: See the ducks on the wall? Jess painted those. The guys put the room together. The crib, changing table, everything. I came home from work and and they surprised me with this.
Mama P: You have some great friends.
Schmidt: We really do.
Cece: Okay mom, we will let you get settled in.
Later at dinner.
Jess: Great dinner you guys.
Cece: I agree. Winston, Ally, I had no idea you were that good in the kitchen.
Ally: It doesn't come naturally, that's for sure.
Winston: Speak for yourself. I have been burning up the kitchen for years.
Ally: Well then why did our instructor ask if that was your first day in a kitchen?
Jess: Instructor?
Ally: Yeah, we were looking for things to do together and since we were both unskilled at cooking, (Winston looks annoyed, he clearly thinks he didn't need cooking lessons) we signed up for a cooking class.

After dinner, they hung out and chatted while Schmidt went off and worked on his presentation.
Cece: Okay, see you guys. Thanks for coming.
Jess: Anytime.
Winston: Always glad to share my culinary skills.
Ally rolls her eyes in a funny way. Mama P pulls Jess aside.
Jess: What's up?
Mama P: I want to throw Cece and Schmidt a baby shower.
Jess: That's great.
Mama P: Yeah, but I am going to need your help.
Jess: You got it. Whatever you need.
Mama P: Okay, I'll call you. Oh, and don't say anything, this is going to be a surprise.

The next day.
Schmidt: Okay, I'm off.
Cece: I'm not going to wish you good luck, because you don't need luck. You got this babe.
Schmidt: Yeah, I wish I could be as confident as you.
Cece: I'm saying it's a lock. You just need to know it. Do you know it?
Schmidt: Yeah.
Cece: What?
Schmidt: Yeah! I got this. I mean, I'm Schmidt! I am the king of marketing, I could sell ice to an Eskimo.
Cece: Exactly, now you go out there and get that promotion.

Cece and her mom are having breakfast. Jess walks in.
Cece: Jess what are you doing here?
Jess: Well, I knew you had errands to run and then work. So I thought I would spend the morning with your mother.
Cece: Jess that's sweet but I don't think my mom wants....
Mama P: I would love to hang out with Jess.
Cece: Really?
Mama P: Well, if it's a choice between going to the bank and post office, or having coffee with Jess, I'll take the coffee.
Jess: Thanks?
Cece: Okay well, then I will leave you two and I'm off to the bank.
Mama P: Sorry, it's supposed to be a surprise.
Jess: Yeah, I got it.
Mama P: Did you send the invites?
Jess: Yeah, since it's last minute, I sent out a mass text.
Mama P: And they won't tell Cece or Schmidt?
Jess: Yeah, I made sure to let them know to keep quiet.
Mama P: So they are all coming?
Jess: Yeah, well a couple of them couldn't give them a guarantee. But they will try.
Mama P: Yeah well, we didn't give them much notice.
Jess: Cece and Schmidt will love it, no matter what.
They continue talking about food and decorations.

Inside a baby store.
Ally: Why did you need me? I don't know anything about babies and what they need.
Winston: I thought you were warming up to babies.
Ally: That doesn't mean that I know what they need or a whole lot about them.
Winston: Yeah, makes sense.
Ally: So you good then?
Winston: Just because you don't know much about babies, doesn't mean that we can't enjoy spending time together. Especially since we have been working opposite schedules for a while.
Ally: You are right. If we get done early enough, maybe we can swing by....
Winston: The trampoline park? I was just thinking the same thing.

A couple days later. Cece, Schmidt and Mama P come back home.
Mama P: (Walking in the door) I don't know what happened. They must have lost the reservation.
Everyone: Surprise!!
Schmidt: Wha, how, what's happening?
Cece: A surprise party? Why?
Jess: Have looked in a mirror lately?
Cece: Huh?
Winston: It's a baby shower Cece.
Schmidt: Pregnancy brain.
Cece: What?!
Schmidt: I said I love you.
Cece: That's better.
They mingle around.
Coach: Look at you.
Cece: Coach! I can't believe you are here.
Coach: Girl, I wouldn't miss your shower.
Cece: It's so good to see you.
Schmidt: Thanks man.
They hug. They see Schmidt's mom.
Schmidt: Mom!
Louise: My baby!
She hugs him.
Louise: Where is your winter hat? It's after October 1st. What did I tell you?
Schmidt: Always wear a hat after October 1st.
Louise: That's right.
She pulls a hat out of her purse which is sitting right where she had been sitting and puts it on his head.
Cece: It's nice to see you, Louise.
Louise: Cece, and my baby's baby!
She hugs her and catches her a bit off guard.

Later when they open the gifts.
Cece: Wow! Another onesie.
Schmidt: Thanks aunt Fran.
Schmidt and Cece are sitting next to a pile of onesies.
Fran: You can never have too many onesies.
Cece: Okay, who is next?
Mama P: I guess I'll go next. This is from me and Jess' mother, who helped make this.
Cece opens a box to find a quilt, made up of pictures of Cece as a baby, her baby clothes and baby blankets.
Cece: What is this? I can't believe you guys did this.
Mama P: A lot of the credit goes to Joan. I came up with the idea but if it weren't for Joan, I couldn't have pulled this off.
Schmidt: This is so awesome.
Cece: I can't believe you saved all this.
Moments later.
Cece: Jess, this is too much.
Schmidt: Yes, way too generous.
There is a pile of baby stuff. Changing table, tub, clothes, diapers and so on.
Schmidt: Thanks, really all of you.
Cece: Yes, we really can't thank you enough.
Winston: Well, it's not over yet.
Cece: What? No, you already gave us the slip and slide.
Winston: Well, that wasn't the real gift.
Schmidt: Oh, thank God. I was beginning to worry about you.
Winston: Here is is.
He pulls out a suitcase.
Cece,Schmidt: What's this?, What's going on?
Winston: Well, I thought long and hard to come up with the perfect gift. A crib, bassinet, baby monitor? None of them said, Winston. Then it hit me, a friend paternity leave.
Schmidt: A what?
Winston: A friend paternity leave. I am going to move in for two weeks and help you out.
Schmidt: A friend paternity leave! That's not a thing.
Cece: What we mean to say is, is that is way too generous. We can't ask you to do that.
Winston: Not to worry. It's the least I can do for my God child.
Schmidt and Cece look uncomfortably around the room.
Winston: I know you haven't asked me, but I am going to be a Godparent. Right?
Nick: Wait a minute. I am going to be the God father.
Winston: No I am.
Nick: That makes no sense, why would they ask you, when they have me?
Winston: Cause I am a cop and good with kids.
Nick: I'm good with.....kids.
Winston: Okay, let's ask Cece and Schmidt.
Nick: Okay guys, who do you love more?
Jess: Guys, you are kinda putting them in a spot.
Winston: Sorry
Nick: Yeah guys, sorry.
Winston: We know you will make the right choice. (He awekwardly winks)
Later as the guests are leaving
Schmidt, Cece: Bye guys, thanks for coming, good to see you, I'll call you.
Cece: Mom, Jess, thank you.
Schmidt: Yes, thank you for this. It was just perfect.
Jess: You are welcome. It's the least I could do for my sister and God child.
Winston: Speaking of.
Cece: So this is what you meant by letting us make up our own minds?
Winston: Well, ah....
Schmidt: Okay, I guess you guys aren't going to drop this. So, I guess we should just say, Winston...
Winston: Yes!
Cece: You know we love you.
Winston: Yeah.
Schmidt: And because of that, it makes this all that much harder.
Winston: Oh no...
Schmidt: It's just that I have known Nick the longest. That really was the tie breaker.
Cece: But you will be his uncle. Uncle Winnie.
Schmidt: I mean, who else is going to take him to the zoo, and the park.
Winston: And laser tag.
Cece: What?
Winston: I said the museum.

Thank you too :hug: :love:

Btw, I put the part before the title to keep them all together on my phone. But these are full chapters or episodes.
Part 4 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?

Later that day, inside the store.
Reagan: What do you think?
Jess: I think it's nice.
Cece: Very nice.
Reagan: But do you think Nick will like it?
Jess: Well....
Cece: It's just that Nick really isn't into Christmas sweaters.
Reagan: But it's an ugly Christmas sweater.
Cece: Yeah, he won't get that.
Jess: All he will think is, I'm not wearing that.
Reagan: Okay, I'll keep looking.
Ally: Well, thanks to this bird shirt and shockingly, these matching socks, I have Winston covered.
Cece: That's all you are getting him?
Ally: No, but I all ready got him a couple CD's, that I hope he won't make me listen to, and a couple dvd's.
Jess: dvd's?
Ally: Anne of Green Gables
Reagan: Really?
Jess: Oh yeah.
Cece: He watches that all the time.
Jess: So Cece, what did you get Schmidt this year?
Cece: I don't know. I mean, I got him a few little things and he will love this scarf.
Jess: I did see him looking at some pleated pants the other day.
Cece: Did you get a pic?
Jess: Did I? Look at this.
Cece: That's a picture of the salesman.
Jess: I know, but look at those eyes.
Cece: The pants, Jessica.
Jess: Here.

Meanwhile, at a salon.
Schmidt: You were right Winston, I needed this.
Winston: A whole afternoon of pampering. Like I said, Winnie the Bish has got you covered.
Schmidt: Shampoo, haircut, shave, manicure and a massage!
Winston: And the day isn't over.
Schmidt: There is more?
Winston: I'm just getting started.
Schmidt: Winston, I can't. I mean, Cece....
Winston: She is with the girls. Plus Ally is trained in emergency situations. We both have our cell phones. It's going to be okay.
Schmidt: Well, I suppose.
Winston: Well, how does an exclusive wine tasting, sound?
Schmidt: No, you don't mean.
Winston: Yup, we have two tickets to the Sonoma Valley, Russian River Valley, wine tour and picnic?
Schmidt gets all emotional and hugs Winston.
Schmidt: I can't believe it, when I called back in June, they were sold out.
Winston: You should have called in March, that's what I did.
He hugs him again. This time people are watching amused, causing people to wonder what is going on.
Later at Schmidt and Cece's place.
Cece: This was a great day you guys. Sorry I got tired and had to rest.
Jess: That's okay. We loved just spending the day with you before the baby comes.
Reagan: One last day where you aren't someones mother.
Cece: Guys, I'm not due for a couple weeks.
Jess: I know but it's rare that we have a girls day out these days. With all our schedules.
Ally: I know, I know.
Jess: What?
Ally: It's all my fault, I know I canceled the last two times. It's just this night shift, and Winston.
Cece: No, no, that's not what we were saying.
Jess: Yeah, it's fine really.
Ally: It's not fine. I hate this shift.
Jess: Well then, do something about it.
Cece: Yeah Ally, you have never been shy about things.
Ally: Yeah.
Jess: Well then, why?
Ally: I am getting ready to take the detectives exam and I needed this experience and to work on working with other departments.
Cece: Yeah but you have been on nights for months.
Ally: You are right. Monday, I am going and talk to the captain.

Tues night at Japor Aviv
Cece: Babe, they should be here soon. (Cece calls out to Schmidt who is at work in the kitchen)
Schmidt: Perfection takes time!
Cece: Babe!
Schmidt: Sorry.
Cece: Wanna try that again? (She says that as she walks into the kitchen)
Schmidt: I'm almost ready and can't wait! Tonight is going to be fun.
Cece: Even if?
Schmidt: We loose. (He says as if he was coached on what to say)
Cece: That's better. Trust me, game night will be fun. Even if we don't win, we can have fun.
Schmidt doesn't look convinced.
Schmidt: Spoken like someone who doesn't know what winning feels like.
Cece: Schmidt!
Schmidt: Okay, okay....Anyway, it doesn't matter. Because I have already won.
Cece: Huh?
Schmidt: I won the day Jess moved in.
Cece looks at the five dollars that is framed and on the wall of their kitchen.
Cece: I say, we both won.
Knock knock
Jess and Winston walk in.
Jess: Hey guys.
Winston: Okay, let's do this. Winnie is about to win.
Cece: Hey! Where is Ally?
Winston: She said she would be here soon. She just had something to take care of first.
Schmidt: Hey guys. Can I get you a drink?
Jess: That's okay, you have your hands full. Winston and I got it. (She says as she opens the fridge)
Nick: Hello, hello. (Nick and Reagan walk into the living room, that is empty. Everyone is in the kitchen)
Jess: Hey Nick, we are in the kitchen.
Reagan: Hey everyone!
Nick: Hello.
Cece: Glad you guys made it.
Reagan: So is everyone there?
Cece: Almost.
Winston: Ally is on her way.
Cece: Until then, appatisers are on the table and drinks are in the fridge so help yourselves.
Nick: Alright.
Winston: Let's do this.
Jess: Thanks Schmidt.
Cece: Hey! How do you know that I didn't help?
They all laugh.
Later, they are all playing Pictionary. The teams are Winston, Ally, Reagan and Nick, against Cece, Schmidt and Jess.
Ally: (Yells) It came upon a midnight clear!
Winston: Yes!
Schmidt: What?!
Cece: Schmidt?
Schmidt: I know but how? From a clock and an arrow pointing up?
Winston: What can I say? We just get each other.
Cece: Alright babe, it's our turn.
Jess: Yes, lets do this.
Schmidt: Jess is drawing?
Cece: Yes, it's her turn.
Jess: Come on Schmidt, I couldn't be any worse than you.
Schmidt: What?
Jess: A picture of a snowman?
Schmidt: Frosty the snowman! How hard was that?
Cece: Babe, calm down. Go ahead Jess.
Jess draws a hand waving and a long box.
Schmidt: What?
Cece: Babe, you have to give us more.
She circles the box.
Schmidt: That's not more!
She draws stars like they are in the sky and tries to draw sheep.
Cece: Silent Night?
Schmidt: What?
Cece: I don't know but time is running out.
The timer goes off.
Nick: Time!
Schmidt: Alright Jess, what was that?
Jess: Away in a manger
Schmidt: Wha, that's not, how?
Cece: Schmidt, calm down.
Schmidt: But she!
Cece: Go get a soda and take a minute.
Schmidt: Okay, but I still say....
Cece: Now.
Later they are playing charades.
Reagan: Time.
Schmidt: What was that supposed to be Cece?
Cece: Miracle on 34th Street
Schmidt is left speechless.
Nick: Okay Reagan, it's your turn.
She picks a slip of paper.
Reagan: Okay.
She acts out something.
Winston: White Christmas!
Reagan: Yes!
Schmidt: Really?
Winston: Yes well, Reagan and I have a special, connection.
Nick: Alright Schmidt, you are up.
Schmidt: Alright, let's do this.
Jess: Alright Schmidt.
Cece: Come on!
Schmidt acts out something.
Jess: Home Alone!
Schmidt: No.
Cece: It's a Wonderful Life.
Schmidt: No.
Ally: Time!
Schmidt: I'll be home for Christmas! How could you not get that?
Cece: Ah, Schmidt.
Schmidt: No seriously, I didn't say anything when we lost at Password.....
Cece: Babe.
Schmidt: I laughed it off when we lost at Pictionary but Charades as well.
Cece: Schmidt!
Schmidt: No, Cece. I have had enough.
Jess: Schmidt!
Schmidt: What?!
Cece: I think I am in labor.
Schmidt: What?!
Nick: I'll boil some water.
Jess: This is no time for tea.
Everyone is sorta running around.
Winston: Alright calm down, I have everything under control. Cece, where is your go bag?
Cece: In the closet.
Reagan: I got it.
Winston: Jess, get Cece to the car. Schmidt, calm down, it's going to be okay. I will drive you guys to the hospital. Ally will bring the rest. Ally?
Ally: Right.

Later in the hospital waiting room.
Winston: Schmidt! What's happening?
Schmidt: She is only a few centimeters along. They say it could be hours. Why don't you all just go home and get some sleep. Jess and I can keep her company.
Nick: No.
Reagan: That's right. We aren't going anywhere.
Winston: We are family Schmidt. We sleep when you sleep.
Schmidt hugs Winston then the others.
Cece: I can't do this.
Jess: That's crazy, you got this girl. Just remember your breathing.
Cece: No, not this. Ouch.
Jess: Well then, what?
Cece: Being a mother. I'm not a mom Jess.
Jess: Come on Cece, do I need to remind you mama bear?
Cece: Maybe just a few more times.
Jess: I'll remind you as many times as you need.
Schmidt walks in with some ice chips.
Schmidt: Here Cece.
Cece: Thank you. Oh...ouch.
Schmidt: Just squeeze my hand, if that will, Ouch..... ( He hits the floor)
Out in the waiting room.
Reagan: Winston, where have you been?
Ally: Ugh, what is that?
Winston is carrying a crate.
Winston: Oh, you will see.
Schmidt walks into the waiting area.
Schmidt: Um, it's still going to be a little, ugh... Winston, that crate.
Winston: Okay, well I wanted to wait until the baby came and Cece was here but tah dah.
He opens a crate a dove flies out in the middle of the hospital.
Schmidt: Winston!
Winston: What? Isn't this what you do.
Schmidt: Sure if you are outside.
Reagan: At a wedding.

Later, back in Cece's room. Schmidt looking at her monitor.
Schmidt: Okay, and it is almost over. You are doing so good.
Cece: Ah....
Schmidt: I love you so much. You are so strong!
Cece: I love you too.
Schmidt wiping her forehead.
Schmidt: Is there anything I can get you?
Cece: Some more ice, and do you have it?
Schmidt: Our push playlist? Absolutely.
Schmidt plays the playlist and goes to get more ice chips. Cece, immediately relaxes.
A few minutes later. Schmidt walks back into the room.
Schmidt: Okay, here you go.
He gives her a cup of ice.
Schmidt: I just talked to the nurse and she said we are just about ready. I'm going to get changed and I will be right back. Till then Jess is going to stay with you.
Cece: Okay.
He leaves to get ready.
Jess: How are you doing? You look more relaxed than last time we talked.
Cece: I'm doing better. Schmidt has been really great. Talking to the doctors and nurses, taking care of all my needs. Talking me through my contractions. I couldn't have picked a better partner.
Schmidt comes back into the room. He is dressed in hospital scrubs.
Jess: Paging Dr Schmidt.
Schmidt: Huh?
Jess: I don't know, I'm very tired.
Schmidt: Okay. Jess, I need to talk to you for a minute.
They go out into the hall.
Schmidt: Cece's mom is coming tomorrow and do you think, you can.
Jess: Pick her up from the airport? Say no more.
Schmidt: Thank you, Jess.
He goes back into the room.
Schmidt: Okay babe, I finally got a hold of your mom.
Cece: You did?
Schmidt: Yeah, she said she is going to catch the first plane in the morning.
Cece: Really?!
Schmidt: Yes, Jess is going to pick her up as soon as she calls with the details.
Cece: That's such a relief. What about your mom?
Schmidt: She has to work but she is planning to come first chance she gets.
Cece: Thank goodness. I mean, I love your mother, but I don't think I am up for entertaining, both of our mothers at once.
Schmidt: That makes two of us.
Cece: Oh no!
Schmidt: What, what's going on? Are you in pain?
Cece: No, I just remembered, we left the house a mess. My mother....
Schmidt: Your mother is here to see you, not to worry about the house. That said, Winston, Ally and Reagan are going to go and clean the house this morning.
Cece: Okay but....
Schmidt: And Nick is going grocery shopping.
Cece goes to talk.
Schmidt: Jess is going with him.
Cece: Have I said thank you today.
Schmidt: Thank you? Come on, you have the hard job. I only wish I could take your pain away.
The door opens.
Doctor McKay: Okay Mrs Schmidt, Nurse Spalding says you are ready to push.
Later in the waiting room.
Schmidt dressed in scrubs, comes into the waiting area.
Schmidt: It's a boy!
All: Yay! All right.
Nick: Congratulations man.
Jess: How's Cece?
Schmidt: Good but tired. We would like you to all come in the room. But first, I need Winston to come with me.
Winston: Me, why me? What did I do? I took care of the doves, just like you said. You said we were cool.
Schmidt: Just get in here.
They go into the room.
Winston: Is this?
Cece: Winston.
Winston: Yeah?
Schmidt: No, we would like you to meet Winston.
Winston: Wha....I what is going on.
Cece: Winston, you are and will always be a part of our family, so Winston, meet Winston Micheal Schmidt.
Winston starts crying. He hugs Schmidt.
Winston: I love you man.
Cece: We love you.
Winston hugs Cece the best he can, she is still in bed. Then Cece hands Winston to Winston.
A little later.
Schmidt: Hey guys, wanna come meet my son? My son! I am a father!
Nick: Yeah you are!
Jess: That kid is going to have the more organized playroom and toy box.
Ally: Why are we just standing here? Let's go meet this kid.
They go into the room.
Cece: Hey guys....
All: Hey.
Cece: I would like you to meet, Winston Micheal Schmidt.
Winston is beaming.
Jess: Aww...
Nick: Way to go.
Reagan: Congratulations guys.
Jess: Okay, I can't wait any longer. Can I please hold my nephew?
Cece: Okay, here you go. Go to Auntie Jess.
Jess holds the baby. She starts to cry, just a little.
Jess: Hey Winnie, welcome to our family. We may be loud, occasionally inappropriate, and overly emotional at time, but we are your family. Okay, now time to meet Uncle Nick.
Nick: No, Jess. He is too small.
Jess: Come on Nick, you have held a baby before.
Nick: Yeah but not one just baked. I mean he is barely out of the oven.
They all look at him a bit like, huh?
Jess: Come on Nick, you can do this. Just support his head like this.
She hands him Winnie.
Nick: No Jess, I'm not.... Oh, hey there. Hey Winnie. I'm your uncle Nick, I will.....always have bail money.
Cece: Nick!
Nick: I didn't say I wanted to bail him out of jail. I was just saying, I am here.
Cece: Give me my baby!
Schmidt takes the baby and gives him to Cece, and gives Nick a look.

The next day, at the house.
Jess: I wonder what's keeping Schmidt and Cece?
Nick: I don't know. He texted over a couple hours ago and said they were getting ready to leave.
Just then they pull in. Jess and Nick go out to help them bring in the baby and Cece's bag.
Nick: Where have you guys been? Jess was about to send out a search party.
Jess: Come on Nick, I wasn't that bad.
Nick: You looked out the window every ten minutes.
Jess: Well, what can I say? I really wanted to see my God child.
Cece and Schmidt clear their throats.
Jess: And my best friends.
Cece: Well, we would have been here sooner but Schmidt refused to go over 25 miles per hour.
Schmidt: I'm a dad now, I can be speeding around like speed racer.
Cece: An old lady passed us.
Schmidt: Well, she can drive as fast as she wants.
Cece: She wasn't driving.

So maybe you can write "Story (Episode) 1 - Title" instead of "Part 1 - Title" because it made me confused and think that they are parts of the titled story. :nod:

Episode 5 Christmas aka
Some things change and some things stay the same

Cece: Mom, I wish you could just stay through Christmas.
Mrs P: I know, but I have already been here for two weeks. I have to get back to work, and I have obligations. I wish I could stay too.
Schmidt: At least we have the next two days. Plus, we have a facetime date for Christmas morning. I mean, I know it's not the same thing, but it's better than not seeing each other at all.

A couple days later.
Schmidt: So, did you hear from your mom?
Cece: I did, her plane left on time.
Knock knock
Schmidt: Ah, Winston? Wha, what are you doing here?
Cece: Are those suitcases?
Winston: Well, how else am I supposed to carry my stuff, silly Billy.
Schmidt: Huh?
Cece: What are you doing man?
Winston: Moving in.
Schmidt: What?!
Winston: Remember my gift? I waited for Mama P to leave but remember I said I was going to move in and help you out?
Schmidt: Ah, I thought we passed on that.

Winston: You did, but then Cece said yes.
Schmidt: You did?
Cece: Yeah, I thought I might need the extra help. But then, I changed my mind. Winston, didn't you get my text?
Winston: I did, but I am non refundable.
Schmidt: Winston!
Cece: Babe, calm down. It will be okay. It's only two weeks.
Schmidt: Well, I don't have time to argue about this, I have to go back to work.
Cece: Yeah, I'm off too. We have a doctor's appointment.
Schmidt kisses Cece and Winnie goodbye.
Winston: I guess I'll just welcome myself here. Don't worry about me. Winnie has this all under control.

At the loft.
Jess comes into the loft, loaded with gifts she just bought.
Nick: Jess, what did you do? Buy out the store?
Jess: Well, I have a lot more people to shop for this year.
Nick: What you mean is we have a new baby this year.
Jess: And Ally and Reagan.
He pulls a toy out of her bag.
Nick: He is only a few weeks old. He won't even be able to play with this for months Jess.
Jess: Get out of there.
Nick: Who did you buy this for?
She snatches an ugly sweater out of his hands.
Jess: I said get out! They aren't all for Winnie you know.
Nick: What did you get me?
Jess: Wouldn't you like to know?
Nick: I would, that's why I asked.
Winston walks into the room.
Winston: Wow Jess, is there anything left in the store?
Jess: We just did this.
Winston: You did?
Nick: Yeah.
Winston: Did you tell her the baby won't be able to play with these for months?
Jess: Yeah.
Winston: I see. That's cool.
Jess: Come on Winston. Don't pout.
Winston: I'm not pouting. I just stubbed my toe is all.
Nick: Is that why you are tearing up?
Winston: That is indeed, why I am tearing up.
Jess: Hey, weren't you supposed to be at Schmidt and Cece's this week?
Winston: Yeah, but they had work and stuff. You know?
Jess: And you hate being alone.
Winston: I don't hate being alone.
Nick: No, you are just afraid to be alone.
Winston: I'm not afraid.
Jess: Winston! Remember the time I came home and you kept a UPS driver trapped in the apartment?
Winston: Trapped? He wasn't trapped. We were having an interesting conversation.
Nick: Then why did he had me a note that said help?

Later
Nick: What time are we leaving for the holiday party?
Reagan: Around 7pm. You don't have to come. It's just a stupid company party.
Nick: It's not stupid. It's important to you.

At the house
Schmidt and Cece arrive back home at the same time.
Schmidt: Hey you two.
Cece: Hey babe.
She kisses him.
Cece: Wanna give me a hand?
Schmidt: Sure. Wanna come see dad, Winnie?
They go inside.
Winston: Welcome home!
Schmidt: How long have you been sitting there waiting to say that?
Winston: Not long.
Cece: Your butt is asleep isn't it?
Winston: And I really need to pee.
Winston runs to the bathroom.
They laugh.
Schmidt: So how was your day?
Cece: Oh, it was good. The doctor said that Winnie is doing great.
They walk into the kitchen and see that dinner is on the stove.
Winston comes back into the room.
Cece: Winston, you did all this?
Schmidt: Thanks man.
Winston: That's what I am here for. I moved in to make your lives easier.
Cece: And you have, so thanks.

It's 2am and Winnie is crying.
Winston: Shh... Winnie, it's okay.
Cece: (Yawn) Is he up again?
Winston: Yeah, I think he is hungry.
Cece: Okay.
She takes the baby.
Winston: I'll go make you some tea.
Cece: Thank you Winston.
Later, talking to Winnie
Winston: Here you go.
Cece: Thanks.
Winston: Why don't you go get some more sleep?
Cece: I can't do that. He still needs to be changed.
Winston: I got this. I'll change him and burp him. Go get some rest.
Cece: I can't.
Winston: Yes you can, this is what I am here for, so go.
Cece: Well, okay then.

In the morning.
Winston: Morning.
Cece: Winston, you are up?
Winston: Well, I had to make you breakfast.
Cece: Yeah, but after getting up all night....
Winston: I said, I was going to be here for you and I meant it. I'm sure you thought it was some big joke but....
Schmidt walking in with the baby.
Schmidt: No Winston, we didn't think this was a joke.
Winston gives him a look.
Schmidt: Well, okay. Maybe at first, but...
Cece: But then you came and, well you have been a really big help.
Winston: Well, I love you guys.
Schmidt puts the baby down in his seat. They hug.
Cece: (taking a bite of food) Winston, this is so good. Those cooking lessons really paid off.
Winston just sits there.
Cece: Wiinnstoon! Earth to Winston.
Schmidt: Let's just leave before he wakes up.
Winston: What? Sorry.
Cece: Honey, why don't you go get some sleep. I can watch the baby this morning.
Winston: But I said I was going to help you out.
Cece: But you are no help to us if you don't sleep.... Schmidt!
Schmidt: Come on Winston.
He gets him up and leads him to the bedroom. Then he comes back into the kitchen.
Schmidt: Okay babe, I gotta get to work.
He kisses her and the baby.

At the loft.
Ally: So how did the party go?
Reagan: I don't want to talk about it.
Ally: Why what happened?
Reagan: Ask Nick.
Nick walks in just as she says that.
Nick: Come on Reagan, you can't still be mad.
Reagan: Yes I can.
Nick: It was nothing.
Reagan: Nick, you moon walked backwards....into the punch bowl.
Ally: He did what?
Reagan: Well, when we were at the party last night and we ran into Carolyn.
Ally: Carolyn?
Reagan: His ex, and instead of being cool about it, he went all Nick.
Ally: Nick?, Nick: I didn't go all Nick. (Said at the same time)
Reagan: He got all nervous and weird.
Nick: It wasn't that bad.
Reagan: Nick! I just started working there. I'm trying to make a good impression.
Nick: Okay, I'm sorry.
Reagan: Yeah, okay.
Nick goes and talks to her, face to face to get her attention.
Nick: No really, I am sorry. Is there anything I can do?
Reagan softens. Then he kisses her.
Reagan: That's a good start.
He kisses her some more.
Reagan: Keep going.
Ally: Well, I am going to leave, since no one knows I'm here.
No one notices.
Ally: Well, bye! (talking to herself) I gotta get better friends.
Nick: Did you say something?
Ally: No, anyway I have to go.
Reagan: Okay well, we will see you soon.
Ally: Okay and thanks Nick for the Toys for Tots box. The bar really came through this year.
Nick: I don't know why they need these plastic, fancy toys. I did not need any of that. Just a stick and a rock and my imagination.
Flashback to young Nick. We see Nick breaking a window with a rock, him hitting people with his stick.
Ally: Yes, well....
Reagan: Anyway, tell Winston we said hi.
Nick: Yeah, and don't tell him about Ferguson.
Ally: What?!
Nick: Nothing, nothing.... And anyway, all the glue came out.

Later at the house.
Cece: Hey! How's it going?
Ally: Good, you?
Cece: Tired but good. Come on in. Winston is changing the baby. So how's work?
Ally: Better now that I am off nights.
Cece: That's good to hear.
Ally: Yeah, and I wanna say thank you for all the advise. I don't like reaching out.
Cece: Don't mention it. That's what family is for.
Winston: Look who is all clean and ready for dinner.
Ally: Hey, babe.
Winston: Ally, I didn't hear you come in.
He hugs her while holding the baby.
Ally: Well, you were a little busy.
Winston: Well, I don't wanna keep all this cuteness to myself, here you go.
He goes to hand her the baby. She backs away, as if to say, what are you doing? With her body, language.
Winston: Ah, what's going on Ally?
Ally: Nothing.
Winston: I thought you were going to be more open to babies.
Ally: I am.....I'm trying.
He looks at her.
Ally: Really, I am. I just don't think I will ever be a baby person.
Winston: Oh
Ally: But, I will love our babies. I just don't need to play with every baby I see though.
Winston: Our babies are going to be as lovable as hell.
She kisses him.
Schmidt: Dinner is ready.
Cece: Thanks babe, let's eat.
Later after dinner.
Winston and Ally are kissing goodbye.
Ally: How many more days till you come back home?
Winston: A week and a half. Why?
Ally: I just miss you is all.
Winston: You are seeing me right now. You are so silly.
Ally: You know what I mean, with work, the baby, Cece and Schmidt, we haven't had a minute alone in a while.
Winston: I know, but I promised them.
Ally: And I love you for that. I just can't wait to have you all to myself is all.
Winston: Well, on the 26th, I'm all yours.

A couple days later.
Cece: So what did you get Ally for Christmas?
Winston: I don't know. What do you think about this?
He shows her a website.
Cece: Hang gliding lessons?
Winston: Too much?
Cece: Does she enjoy jumping off a cliff with paper wings attached to her?
Winston: I guess we will find out.

The next day, Cece is talking to Reagan at the loft.
Reagan: So we will be over around noon on Christmas.
Cece: Noon?!
Reagan: Too early?
Cece: More like a little late?
Reagan: Huh?
Cece: You guys aren't coming over for Christmas eve?
Reagan: We don't want to impose. This is your first Christmas with Winnie.
Cece: Yeah and Christmas is a time for family and that's who you are.
Reagan: Yeah well.
Cece: Well nothing. Christmas eve dinner is at 6pm.
In the Jess' room. Jess is playing with the baby.
Jess: He is so cute.
Schmidt: Well, of course he is. You have seen my wife.
Jess: That's true.
Schmidt: So, look at this.
He shows her a diamond tennis bracelet.
Jess: Oh Schmidt, don't you think that's a bit inappropriate?
Schmidt: It's not for you.
Jess laughs.
Jess: She is going to love it.
Schmidt: You think? It was either that or a necklace, or this....
Jess: I get it. She is going to love it.
Schmidt: You think? I hope so. I mean, she did give me the greatest gift I ever received.
Back in the kitchen
Reagan: So Winston and Ally are on a date tonight?
Cece: Yeah, he has been so helpful this past week?
Reagan: Really?!
Cece: I know, I was shocked too. Anyway, so we gave him the night off to be with Ally.
Schmidt comes into the kitchen.
Schmidt: Babe, you about ready?
Cece: Yeah.
Jess: You sure?
Cece: Yeah, we gotta get home and get Winnie to bed.
Schmidt: That and it's been a long day.
Cece: Yeah, but thanks for dinner.
Nick: No problem, anytime.
Cece: How long have you been here?
Nick: Since you were talking about breast feeding and leakage and...
Cece: Ahh well, why didn't you say anything?
Nick: Well, at first I didn't want to, then I was too grossed out to say anything.
Reagan: Nick!
Nick: No, I'm being serious. A mucus plug, gross!
Reagan elbows him.
Nick: Ouch.

A couple days later
Cece: Okay, so I will drop Winnie off with Nick and Reagan and meet you at the office around 6pm for Winston's Toys for Tots party.
Schmidt: I don't know about this.
Cece: Babe, Winnie is going to be okay. The party is only going to be a couple hours and Reagan will be there.
Schmidt: Maybe you are right.
Cece: Schmidt, we need this. It's been a long couple weeks.
Schmidt: Okay, but if anything happens they will....
Cece: If anything happens, they won't make it that far!
Schmidt: I love you.
He kisses her.

Later that night at the loft
Reagan: Nick, he won't stop crying.
Nick: Here, let me do this.
Reagan: Why did we agree to babysit? I don't know anything about babies.
Nick: Well, I learned a few things.
Reagan: Learned?
Nick: Youtube videos can be very informative.
Reagan: Okay Mr Expert, show me your vast knowledge.
Nick: I will and you will marvel at my genius.
He takes the crying baby. He shushes him, rocks him, holds him close and when that doesn't work, he tries singing.
Nick softly sings "When your out on the road, feeling lonely, and so cold." It doesn't work, Reagan still hears.
But the baby is quieted down.
Reagan: Um, what's that?
Nick: Nothing just some silly song that Cece told me that worked.
Reagan: Oh, okay. And here I though it had something to do with some dvd's I found in your closet.
Nick: Dvd's, I have no idea what you are talking about..... You know what, I bet Jess put those in there. She has such a small closet.
As they are talking, Cece and Schmidt walk in.
Cece: Hey, how's it going?
Reagan: Good, the baby was crying a bit, but then Nick sang to him and he calmed down.
Schmidt: Gilmore Girls.
Reagan: Yup.
Nick: Schmidt knows.
Cece: Everyone knows.
Reagan clears her throat.
Reagan: Uh, so how did the party go?
Cece: Good, they raised a lot of money and toys for the kids.
Reagan: Well that's good to hear.

Saturday morning, Christmas eve day, the 24th
Jess: Merry Christmas eve, day!
Nick: Why are you in our room?
Jess: It's Christmas eve, day!
Reagan: I know, but it's 6am Jess.
Jess: But it's Christmas eve, day!
Nick: Jess! Reagan: We'll be out in a couple hours.
Jess: Okay, but I don't know you can sleep on Christmas eve, day!

Meanwhile at Japor Aviv
Schmidt wakes up and snuggles up to Cece.
Schmidt: Morning, Cece.
Cece: Morning. You have a lot of energy this morning.
Schmidt: I am just happy. It's our first Christmas as a family.
Winnie cries.
Cece: Well, Mr Family Man, why don't you go check on your son?
In the baby's room
Schmidt: Hey Winnie, what's the matter? Aren't you happy for Christmas?
He picks him up.
Schmidt: Let's go see mommy.

Back at the loft
Nick and Reagan come into the kitchen.
Nick, Reagan: Ahh!!!!!!!
Nick: Jess, how long have you been sitting there?
She is sitting in front of their door.
Jess: Not long.
Nick: Not long? When did your butt go numb?
Jess: Only 20 minutes ago. It's actually quite pleasant.
Reagan: Okay, so we are up now. So, Merry Christmas eve day Jess.
Nick: Yes, Merry Christmas eve day.
Jess: Thank you, and as soon as I can get the feeling back in my legs, I'll make breakfast.
Reagan: We need to help her.
Nick: Come on Jess. Let's get the blood flowing.
They walk her around a bit.

Meanwhile
Schmidt: Look who wants to say, Merry Christmas.
Cece: Hey Winnie, are you ready for Santa?
Schmidt: I think he may be ready for something else.
Cece: Of course, come here Winnie.
Schmidt hands her the baby and leaves the room and goes to make breakfast.
He turns on Christmas music.
Winston: Schmidt, the kitchen smells great. I think you topped last year. I mean muffins, eggs, sausage, bacon, and coffee cake?!
Schmidt: Yeah well, I got on a roll. And you know when Schmidty gets on a roll.
Winston: Schmidty don't stop.
Schmidt with a big smile on his face, all giddy.
Schmidt: No, he does not.
Cece comes into the kitchen.
Cece: Winnie is all feed.
Winston: Ready to be burped?
Cece: He is all yours.
Winston takes Winnie.
Winston: Come see your uncle Winston.
Cece: Babe, it smells great in here.
Schmidt: Thanks babe. It really came together, this year.
Moments later, they are eating.
Winston brings Winnie back in.
Winston: He is ready to get dressed. You said you wanted to dress Winnie today.
Schmidt: Yes, thank you Winston. Come here Winnie.
He takes him into his room.
Schmidt: I bought this for you the day I found out about you.
He pulls out the cutest Christmas onsie.
He changes and dresses him. Then he comes back into the kitchen.
Cece: So, are you ready for tomorrow?
Winston: Yeah, pretty much. I just have a little wrapping to do and I have one thing to pick up.
Cece: Okay, just remember that dinner is at 6pm. Everyone should get here around 5pm.
Winston: Don't worry baby, I got it.

Later that day
Jess walking in. Jess: Merry Christmas eve!!
Cece: Merry merry!!
They hug as she comes in. Sorta blocking the door.
Nick: Hey, some of us are freezing out here!
Jess: I thought you were from Chicago. You have really gotten soft man.
Nick: No I haven't.
Jess: Nick! The other day I caught you wearing a sweater and it was 60 degrees.
Nick: I don't know what you are talking about.
Reagan: That all makes sense now.
Jess: What does?
Reagan: I caught him putting on an electric blanket on our bed last week.
Nick: That was science. See the news said that with global warming and see there are these jet streams.
They just stare at him.
Nick: Why am I trying to explain science to you guys?
Schmidt comes into the room.
Schmidt: Hey everyone. Nicolas, Merry Christmas! What's going on.
Nick: Nothing, just trying to explain science to girls.
Schmidt: Well, come on in and take a load off. Want a drink?
Nick: Do I?
Schmidt: That's my question.
Nick: It's between the hours of 9am-10pm, so the answer is always yes.
Schmidt (with a I should have know that look on his face): I should have know that.
Reagan: So Ally and Winston will be joining us soon?
Cece: Yeah, he had a couple things to pick up. Then he was going to pick up Ally.
They hang out and have snacks and just enjoy each other for a bit.
Winston ad Ally walks in.
Winston: Hey! So you started the party without us?
Jess: Winston!
Cece: You know the party doesn't start until you arrive.
Winston: That's what up, that's what up....
Cece: Okay, so since we are all here, we have something to say, or talk about. I'll let Schmidt explain. Sweetie?
Schmidt: Okay, so we are starting a new chapter with Winnie and well our family is growing and will continue to grow. I mean, we have Reagan and Ally with us this year.
Jess: Uh, what are you trying to say.
Schmidt: What I am trying to say is that we want to start some holiday traditions and that we will, no matter what, as long as we can, continue these year after year.
Jess: Sounds good.
Winston: I'm in, you know how much I love tradition.
Flashback to Winston, it's April fools and he puts a fake snake in the dryer.
Cece: Really Winston? Again?
She doesn't look scared or surprised, Winston laughs as if it was the best prank ever.
Cut to Winston with the others.
Winston: Why aren't you ready for brunch?
Jess: Winston! We haven't gone to brunch in weeks.
Winston: Four weeks to be exact!
They just stare at him.
Schmidt: Anyway, like I said, we want to start new traditions.
Cece: So for Christmas Eve, once you are here, you are here. No leaving till the 26th.
Schmidt: We also thought Chinese food and a movie.
Everyone: Sounds good, I'm in....
Winston: Elf! It has to be Elf!
Cece: I don't know if we have that dvd.
Winston: Oh, that's okay. I have a copy right here.
Schmidt: Do you always carry dvd's with you?
Winston: Well, you never know when you need to watch the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
They all stare at him.
Cece: Okay......So, Elf it is.
Jess: I'll order the food.

The next morning
Everyone is sleeping, Nick and Reagan in the guest room. Jess slept on the couch, Winston and Ally on an air mattress in the living room.
Cece goes into the baby's room.
Cece: Jess, when did you get up?
She is dressing Winnie.
Jess: Oh, about 10 minutes ago. So, I thought I would spend some quality time with my God son.
Cece looks and sees that Winnie is smiling.
Cece: Well, he seems to like his Aunt Jess.
Jess: He does, doesn't he? Well, shall we get breakfast started?
Cece: Schmidt is all over that.
Jess: Doesn't he ever slow down?
Cece: My husband?
Jess: I know, what was I thinking?
Cece: Come on, let's go wake the others.
Knock knock
Cece: Wake up, it's Christmas!
Jess to Winston and Ally
Jess: Merry Christmas!
She starts singing loudly, they are still asleep.
Jess: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go!
Ally: Wha...wha, what is happening?
Winston: Jess, we have talked about this.
Jess: I know but it's Christmas.
They start to make their way into the kitchen.
Schmidt: Great, you are all up. Well, eat it while it's hot.
They are all still pretty tired, but they make their plates and sit down.
Jess: Thanks Schmidt.
Nick: Yeah, thanks man.
Ally: Mm, this is amazing.
She turns to Winston.
Ally: Babe, you should get Schmidt to teach you how to make hotcakes.
Winston: What?! Are you saying you don't like my pancakes?
She takes a big bite.
Ally: Can't talk, mouth full.
Cece: Seriously babe, good job.
Later after they clean up. In the living room.
Reagan: So work is going better, then?
Ally: Much better.
Winston: Much better, now that she can see me every day, even if we aren't partners at work anymore.
Ally: (said in a sarcastic tone) The sleeping at night is secondary.
Jess: Come on guys, time to open gifts.
Reagan and Nick come from the kitchen, they were doing the dishes.
Schmidt walks in.
Schmidt: Cece will be right here. She was just changing Winnie.
Moments later
Cece: We are here. Ready for Christmas. Aren't we Winnie?
Jess: Okay, so this one is for....
Winston: Uh, what's going on?
Jess: Christmas, I thought the tree was a dead giveaway.
Winston: Not that.....(points to the gift she has in her hand)that! You know it's my year to be Santa's helper.
Nick: Really Winston, is it that big of a deal?
Winston: I didn't here you say that last year, when it was your year.
Schmidt: Just give him the hat.
Winston: That's what I am talking about. Try to take Santa privileges away from me.
Cece, Schmidt, Nick, Jess: Yay, Santa's helper is here!
Winston: Thank you, thank you.
Jess: Better?
Winston:Yes.
He starts handing out the gifts.
Winston: Here you go.
Cece unwraps a gift.
Cece: Schmidt! A tennis bracelet! I love it.
She kisses him.
Nick: A Pen?
He looks confused. Then he opens a leather notebook.
Nick: A notebook?
Reagan: Not just any pen. This is a really nice writing pen. I figured a real writer should have a nice pen and notebook. If you have this with you, you won't have to write notes on just what happens to be around when you get an idea.
Cut to Nick writing on toilet paper, gum wrappers, 50 post it's.
Nick: Thanks Reagan, I love it.
Winston: Aww, this one is for me. I get a gift?
He opens it up. It's a nice wood carving of a bird.
Winston: How did you know?
Ally: I don't know, it just came to me. I don't know if it was because you pointed it out, or it was the ten post it's that reminded me? The calendar alerts were a nice touch.
Winston: I thought so.....Okay, here you go.
He hands a gift to Reagan.
Reagan: Nick! I was just looking at this yesterday. How did you know?
She pulls out a nice, leather jacket.
Nick: I guess I am just really good at gifts.
The others, smirk a bit and look at each other.
Cut to Nick handing Jess some flowers that look like Nick just pulled out of the ground and still has the roots and dirt attached.
Cut to
Nick: I brought you back something from Chicago.
Schmidt: A pen and notepad from the hotel?
Cut to
Cece: Deodorant! How did you know?
Back
Reagan: Thanks Jess.
Jess: You're welcome.
Winston: Okay Jess, this one is for you.
Jess opens a bag with a digital camera in it.
Jess: Cece! A new camera?
Cece: That's not all. Look in the bag.
Jess: A zoom lense and wipes?
Cece: Well, I saw your phone last week and it was almost full. Now, you can take all the photos you want of your nephew and still have room on your phone.
Jess: Aww, I love it. Come here girl!
They hug.
Winston: Okay, this one is for Schmidt.
Jess: I hope you like it.
Schmidt: I'm sure I will.
He opens a box, with Proud Papa written on it.
Schmidt: I love it.
Jess: Really?
He puts the t shirt on, over his sweater.
Schmidt: Really!
Winston: Here you go.
Cece opens a box.
Cece: No babe!
Winston: Yes babe!
Cece: No babe!
Winston: Yes babe!
Cece: A mommy mug and Kings tickets!
Winston: That's right, you and me have a date with some hockey players.
They stare at him.
Winston: Wait, that didn't come out right.
Jess: Ah Winston, don't we still have more gifts?
Winston: We do, this can't be rushed. It must be savored as a fine wine.
He takes his time, getting the next gift.
All: Winston!
Winston: Fine, but don't blame me, when we are all done in fifteen minutes. Here's your gift. (Said in a defeated tone)
Jess opens a gift.
Jess: A Mickey Mouse watch! Nick, you remembered.
Nick: Of course I did. How could I forget, your love for Mickey and how you used to watch Mickey after you moved to LA and how it would help you feel less homesick?
Jess: I love it.
They hug.
Nick: Call of Duty? There must be some mistake, Schmidt. I don't like video games.
Schmidt looks confused. He gets ready to speak.
Reagan: Call of Duty, I love that game! This is the new one, I haven't had a chance to play it yet.
Nick to Reagan: I love you! To Schmidt: Thank you, Schmidt.
Cece: Grab that one, Winston.
Winston: This one?
Cece: Yeah, this one is for my man.
Schmidt opening up a gift bag.
Schmidt: Plane tickets? Ah, are you trying to tell me something?
Cece: Look closer.
Schmidt: Plane tickets, to go see my mom in January?
Cece: Yeah, it will be nice to see her. Plus she needs to meet her grandson.
He hugs and kisses her.
Winston hands a gift to Ally
Ally: Hang gliding lessons? Babe, thank you! I love it.
She hugs Winston. Winston gives Reagan a gift.
Reagan: Nine West boots? Cece, this is too much.
Cece: Don't mention it. I'm just glad you like it.
Winston: Okay we just have one more gift and this just may be the best one.
Jess: This must be one of his.
Winston: It is, and it's for you.
Jess: For me?
She opens a box with a teddy bear.
Jess: Winston, where did you find this? This is just like the one I used to have.
Winston: Oh, it wasn't that hard, I just had to go to a few dozen vintage shops.
Jess: Thank you Winston. I love it.
They hug.
Jess: This has been a good day. Okay, I think it's time to clean up. Thanks for letting us mess up the living room and you just about have that twitch under control.
Schmidt: Don't (he twitches a bit) mention it. I'm a dad now, I have to get used to a mess. (He sanitizes his hands)
Later, Cece comes into the living room.
Cece: Okay, so Winston and Ally are just about done with lunch.
Nick: That's good, cause I'm just about done with this bowl.
Schmidt: That's potpourri! You poor thing.
In the kitchen, Winston is chopping and slicing and dicing.
Ally: Babe, just about ready for the...
He pours it in.
Ally: And the.....
He pours it in.
Ally: Oh and don't forget the....
He kisses her.
Ally: While that's nice, I meant....
Winston: This?
He pours it in.
They make the salad and get everything ready for lunch. They really seem to know what the other wants, before they ask. This goes on for about twenty minutes.
Winston: Soups on.
Nick: Ugh, soup. I thought we were going to get real food.
Jess: Nick, soup is food.
Nick: If I can drink it, it's not food.
He laughs and gestures to the others.
Reagan: It's food.
Cece: It really is.
Ally: We have other, food as well. So, you won't go hungry.
Nick: Good luck. If that all you can eat buffet couldn't do that, you don't stand a chance.
They go eat and enjoy each others company.
