A Second Chance

Don't You Mess With Her!

A few days later.

"Mommy, you look beautiful!"

"Awe!  Thank you so much, baby!"

"You're welcome!  Are we leaving yet?"

"In a second, I just have to feed your sister before we get on the road."

"It's like five minutes away, momma!" Grayson gives Jessica a crazy look.

"Heh!  Well I know that, but I don't think your sister is gonna want to wait till we get to aunt Sarah's."

"Okay.  Hurry up and eat, Novies!  I want to get to the party!"

"Are you excited to see all your friends?"

"Yeah!  And Asher is one today, momma!"

"I know, baby!"

"Is daddy coming?"

"Yes!  He just had to go to the office really quick.  He's gonna meet us there."

"Okay!  Can I bring Fred?"

"Not today, okay?"

"Awe man!"

"Another day you can." Jessica smiles.

"Okay.." Grayson lowers his head.

"Hey, don't pout!  You're too cute to pout!"

"Thanks" Grayson immediately snaps out of his sad little state and gives his mother a big smile.

"Jessica!  Hi!  Oh you look so great!"

"Thank you, Sarah!"

"Oh and hello, little miss Nova!  How lovely it is to see you!" Sarah giggles.

Jessica smiles and kisses Nova's forehead.

"Where's Danny?"

"Oh he's on his way!  He needed to run by his office."

"Is he still on maternity leave?"

"Haha!  Yeah, he is.  He still has a few weeks home with us."

"That's great!"

"I know.  I just love having him with me all the time." Jessica smiles.

"Ah.. You two are still in that honeymoon stage.. Enjoy it while it lasts!" Sarah laughs.

"Well I guess you and Sam were in that stage for seventeen years, huh?"

"Yeah!" Jessica smiles and nods.

"You must be great in bed."

"Oh my God, Sarah!" She laughs.

"Sorry!  Heh!  Come in, take a seat.  And hand over the baby!  I need my Nova love!"
