Christmas.

Jessica was kind enough to let Autumn spend Christmas morning at Sam's.  With Megan's health declining quickly, she knew this was best.

Danny, Jessica and Julia spent Christmas morning with Danny's family.

"Oh baby, these earrings are beautiful!  Thank you!" Jessica smiled and leaned over to kiss Danny.

"You're welcome, baby!"

"Here's your gift!" Jessica smiles and hands it to him."

"Did you use my money to buy it?" He laughs.

"No!  I have savings, silly.." Jessica looks down as her face turns a light shade of pink.

"I'm just playing, baby!" Danny smiles.
"Let's see what's in here!
..Oh baby, this is nice!"

"You like it?!" Jessica's smile lit up the room.

"I love it, Boo!"

"Aw!  Yay! I was hoping you would!"

Danny chuckles at her cuteness and kisses her lips.

"Ooh!" Jessica places her hands on her belly.
"Someone can tell Mommy's happy!" She smiles.

Danny smiles and places his hand on her belly.
"Feel that little babe!  You guys, this is Daniel jr." Danny smiles to his family.

"Danny, you don't even know what the baby is yet!" Jessica giggles and playfully taps his arm.

"I have a feeling, babe!  This is Daniel."

"Even if it is a boy, we're not naming him Daniel!"

"Aw, why not, Jessica?" His mother asked.
"It's a lovely name."

"I love it, but I want him to have his own special name!  I mean, if it even is a boy!  It might be a girl!" Jessica smiles.

"Oh gosh, three girls!  God watch over Danny!" Anjelica laughs.

"Right?  Wow, that would be difficult!" Danny chuckles.

Jessica laughs and places her hand on his.

"But fun!  Have you thought of any other baby names?" Anjelica asks.

"Jessica wants Theodore and Evangeline." Danny rolls his eyes.

"They're cute!"

"Fine but I get to pick the middle name!"

"Fine!" Jessica giggles.

Danny smiles and pulls her close.

**

After their Christmas morning, Jessica got ready to pick up Autumn.

"You gonna take the baby?" Danny asks.

"We're kinda a package deal, hun." Jessica rubs her belly.

"Hah! I mean Julia."

"I can."

"Yeah that way you can head over to your parents and I'll catch a ride with Tony."

"That's fine." Jessica shrugs.
"Come on, Juju butt! Let's go, sweet girl."

Julia slowly walks towards Jessica.
Two weeks ago she took her first steps, and now she loves walking everywhere she can.

"Come on, momma!" Jessica holds her hand out.

Julia walks faster and lifts her arms.

"Pretty girl!" Jessica smiles and picks her up.

"Mama!"
