A Second Chance

I miss my Valentine

Michael gets home from school and Jessica smiles.

"Hi baby, how was school?" She kisses him.

"Good.. Why do you smell?"

Jessica huffs and says, "It's a long story. Grayson just wanted to come home and there are no egos, that about sums it up."

"Okay." He chuckles.

"Alright, well Gray and I are gonna take a bath. What do you boys want for dinner?"

"Steak and shake?" James suggests.

"I'm not taking him out of the house!" She points to Grayson.

"Why don't I go pick it up?"

"Okay that's fine." Jessica gives him her order, then takes the baby upstairs to take a bath.

Jessica fills the bathtub and sticks Grayson in his bouncer while she washes her body.

She looks over to him kicking his legs and smiling while bouncing lightly up and down.

"Look at the happy baby!  Grayson, you are so cute!" She smiles and lightly sprinkles water on him.

He takes a sharp breath in, then laughs.

"Haha!  I surprised you, didn't I?"

Jessica lets a little water out, then reaches over and unbuckles the baby.

"Let's take your dipey off!

There we go! You're all free!

*Giggles*

Now sit with mama and relax."

Jessica sits Grayson on her stomach, and supports his back with her legs.

The water came up right above his stomach and Jessica filled her cupped hand with water to we his upper body.

He smiles and hits his hands on the water.

"You like bath time with mama!" She smiles and softly runs her fingers over his hair.

A few minutes pass and Grayson's eyes are becoming heavy.

"Oh you're so sleepy! You wore yourself out today, didn't you? Yeah, with all that screaming, I'm sure you're exhausted!" She giggles and speaks in a soothing voice.

Grayson turns his head and fusses a little.

"Oh what's the matter? What's wrong with the baby?" She speaks in a baby voice.

"Are you hungry?"

Grayson kicks his legs and cries.

"Alright, I've got the hint, no need to kick me!"

Jessica holds him in her arms and feeds him.

"There we go, all better! All better, handsome guy." She smiles and softly caresses the side of his face with the back of her finger.
