A Second Chance

Family dinner

August 1st.

Tiffany was up early with the baby while Sam got ready for work.

"I can't believe mommy's baby boy is three months old today!  How did that happen, little one?"

Samuel smiles and eats his hands.

"That precious smile is just so contagious!"

"Hey babe, I have to go.  You two have a good day." Sam walks over and kisses her lips, then kisses the baby.

"Say, Have a good day at work, dada!" Tiffany says in a baby voice.

*Chuckles* "I will, sport.  Love you two."

"We love you too, daddy." Tiffany smiles.

James and Caroline's POV.

"What does it SAY?!!" James shouts as he paces back and forth.

"Negative!  It says negative!" She answers with relief.

"Oh thank you Jesus!  Don't scare me like that again!"

"Well I'm sorry but-"

"No, I'M sorry! *Sighs* We just can't have a baby right now. We're both just starting out and we're busy all the time. We're still really young to have a baby."

"I agree. I don't think we're ready." Caroline nods.

"But you're not so its okay!" He smiles.

"Yeah! Thank God!"

Michael's POV.

"When are you gonna tell your parents? It's already August."

"I know! I'm gonna talk to them.. Grace, I know I say my mom is the sweetest person in the world, and she is!!
... She's just also the scariest person in the world. I don't know how she'll take this.. Not well would be my guest."

"Well just talk to her. I love you." Grace smiles."

"You do?" A smile spreads across Michael's face.

Grace nods her head and bites her bottom lip.

Michael leans forward and softly kisses her lips.

He breaks the kiss and places his forehead on hers.

"It'll be okay. I'll talk to her."

Zachary's POV.

"Are you ready to meet my family tonight?"

"Yes! I'm just really nervous!"

"Don't be. They're not that bad. Sam is kind of loud and obnoxious, James is really sweet, Michael is literally like my twin. It's scary!" He chuckles.

"Grayson is almost like a tiny version of Sam, except he's cute and funnier than he is. My baby sister, Nova. She's absolutely perfect! She's not a very fussy baby.. Unless she's hungry! In that case just get her to my mom as soon as possible!"

Alyssa chuckles and Zachary continues.

"My dad is great! You'll love him! I know he'll really like you... and my mom.." Zachary looks down and smiles softly.

"She's like an angel that was sent from Heaven to my dad and I.. Without her.. Our life would be so different. She's sweet and I think she'll really like you."
