A Second Chance

Danny

Danny took Zachary home, leaving Jessica and Michael alone.

"I hope you're not upset or angry with me."

"No, I'm not.. I'm happy if you're happy.. I don't know how I didn't realize coach liked you. I mean, he bought you earrings from Tiffany's!"

"They were from you though!"

"Mom, he helped A LOT!"

Jessica chuckles and he finishes.

"He threw you that surprise party after the game in that party room, and bought you this huge cake.  I don't get how I didn't seen it."

"Just let me know if it's too weird.. You can talk to me, Mikey."

"No, no it's not. I mean it's a little strange right now, but I'll get used to it."

Jessica smiles and walks over and gives him a hug.

"I love you, mom.. I just want you to be happy."

"Thank you, baby.. Now get to school."

"Heh! Can't I just stay home?"

"No you cannot!" She says in a cute voice as she playfully pinches his nose.

"Mama!"

"Baby boy! Did you have fun with your friends last night?" Jessica picks him up and kisses his cheek.

"Yeah!"

"Jessie! Grayson needs to stay over all the time!" McKenna says.

"Awe, well he may be coming over more often now." Jessica smirks at Sarah.

"Oh my gosh, how did it go?!" Sarah jumps up and down.

"Sarah he's so amazing!" Jessica gets a smile on her face.

"Awe Jess! Look at that smile!"

Jessica giggles and hides her face.

"So I'm assuming it went well."

"Yes! Oh my gosh, he's so sweet, and he's hilarious! He called me beautiful like twenty times last night!"

"Aw Jess! He sounds great!"

"He is! We went back to my house, we had a glass of wine and talked for hours... We kissed." She smiles.

"Ah!"

"I know! Then I asked him to hold me.."

"Awe!" Sarah smiles.

"We cuddled underneath a blanket and fell asleep. We didn't mean to, but it just felt so comfortable."

"Oh that sounds so nice! I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks you. This morning he jerked in his sleep waking me up. He was having a falling off a cliff dream and it was so cute!" Jessica laughs.

"Awe that's adorable!"

"I know! I played with his stubble.. I gave him a good morning kiss.. and then our kids walked in."

"Woah what?!" Sarah snaps out of it and her eyes widen and her jaw drops.

"Yeah!" Jessica nods.

"What happened?"

"His son was worried because he didn't come home, and Daniel wasn't answering his phone. Michael called me to see what they should do, but I didn't answer, so both boys walked over to the house and saw us together. I don't know how long they were there though.. It seemed like they had already been there for while."
