We consider a coexistence phase of both Ferromagnetism and superconductivity and solve the self-consistent mean-field equations at zero temperature. The superconducting gap is shown to vanish at the Stoner point whereas the magnetization doesn't. This indicates that the para-Ferro quantum critical point becomes a hidden critical point. The effective mass in such a phase gets enhanced whereas the spin wave stiffness is reduced as compared to the pure FM phase. The spin wave stiffness remains finite even at the para-Ferro quantum critical point.
