The next day...
"This is the last day The Huston's are in Houston!"
"Yep!" Jessica chuckles.
"I think we should go to that barbecue place we went to a little after you had Gabby, what's it called?"
"Rudy's!" She says with a huge smile on her face.
"That's right! My babydoll loves that place! I remember when you were pregnant, you ate about a gallon of that cream corn they have!"
"Yeah that sounds about right!" She laughs.
"It's just so good!" She smiles.
***
"Like mother like daughter!" Danny says as Jessica and Gabriella both eat the cream corn like there's no tomorrow.
"She has good taste!" Jessica laughs.
"Its gonna make your milk even sweeter, so I'm sure this kids gonna love it!" He points to Isaiah.
"Yeah! You're gonna love it, Zay-Zay!" She pinches his cheek.
"You need to try some food though. Here, try some potato salad." She says putting a little in his mouth.
Isaiah looks around confused then moves his mouth like he's trying to take it all in.
"He's like, What the fuck is in my mouth!" Danny says.
"I know!" She laughs.
"Mmmmm!" He moans as his eyes light up.
"Oh he likes it! Finally something other than my breasts!" She smiles and sticks more in his mouth.
"He's growing up babe!" Danny smiles.
"Awe! He is!" Jessica pouts.
***
The next morning they head back to New Orleans.
"Mommy where we going?"
"We're going back home, baby." She smiles.
"Yay! Lola! Uncle George! Aunt Sarah! Uncle Evan!" She yells.
"There's just so many people you want to see, isn't there?!" Jessica giggles.
"Yeah!" Gabriella lifts her hands.
***
A couple hours pass and the trip is going pretty smooth, until Isaiah starts screaming and crying, bloody murder.
"Oh Zaya, what's wrong?" She asks.
"Make him stop mommy, make him stop!"" Gabriella covers her ears.
"Danny pull cover so I can get in the back." She taps his arm.
When Jessica gets back there she tries to feed him but he doesn't want it.
"What's wrong, my baby?" She rubs his face.
She looks in his mouth and sees the buds of new teeth.
"Awe my poor baby's teething."
"Danny can you pull over and get me his teether from the back, please?"
"Yeah, hold on."
Danny gets it out and hands it to her, then continues driving.
She tries and tries but nothing will make him stop.
"Mommy I can't take this anymore!" Gabriella whines as she holds her head.
"So dramatic, Gabby!" She laughs.
Danny sees her through the rearview mirror and says, "Oh my gosh, you look just like your mother!" He laughs.
"We're just so dramatic!" Jessica laughs.
***
After the longest five hour drive of their entire life, they finally get home.
"We're home!" Danny turns around and sees all three of them asleep.
"Hah! I guess I have three babies to carry into the house now!" He says to himself.
He opens the door then brings Isaiah in first, then Gabriella.
He goes back to the van and looks at Jessica asleep with her head leaned back on the seat.
He smiles to himself and unbuckles her, then gently takes her out.
She was in such a deep sleep that she slept through him taking her up the stairs and into their room.
He brought the kids up and tucked them in next to her then went back outside and unloaded the van.
They slept for the next two hours and Iaiah was the first to wake up.
Danny didn't want to wake Jessica to feed him, so he gave him formula.
"You're not liking this, are you?" He asks him.
"Alright, let's see what else we have here." He goes to the pantry and takes out some baby food.
"How about some squash, hmm?" He smiles.
He sits him in his highchair and feeds him.
"Is it good? You seem like you like it." Danny says before he tries some.
"Oh my god!" Danny makes a face.
"What the hell am I feeding you?!" He says as Isaiah laughs at him.
"Is that funny, Isaiah? Huh? Is it funny that daddy just stuck shit in his mouth?!" He laughs.
***
Meanwhile upstairs.
Jessica wakes up so confused.
"What? We're home?" She says looking around.
Gabriella wakes up and climbs on Jessica.
"Mommy I feel sick!"
"What's wrong, baby?" She rubs her back.
"I hav-" She says as she throws up mid sentence all over the bed and Jessica.
"Oh Gabriella!" She picks her up and takes her to the bathroom then holds her over the toilet so she can throw up.
Gabriella cries and says, "Mommy this is yucky! I don't like it! I don't like it!"
"I know baby, but it'll make you feel better, now just let it out, okay." She says rubbing her stomach to make her throw up.
After she's finished, she strips her down and sticks her in the tub.
"Mommy you have yucky stuff all over you too!" She points.
"Oh dammit. I forgot! Well let me get in with you." She says taking her top off.
Once they get out of the shower Jessica throws on some underwear and one of Danny's shirts.
She takes their clothes and the comforter downstairs.
"Mommy I'm still naked!" Gabriella says following behind her.
"I know Gabby, I'll get you some clothes.
Danny sees them coming down the stairs and asks, "What happened?"
"Vomit. Vomit everywhere!" She walks into the laundry room.
"You or Gabby?"
"Gabby." She yells so he can hear her.
"All over me, all over the bed, the floor.. Hah! Welcome home, Huston's!" She laughs.
She starts the wash and grabs some clothes for Gabriella.
"I want the Elsa ones!"
"Well Gabby, those are dirty!"
"I want Elsa!" She yells.
"Gabriella you either put these on or stay in your panties."
"I stay in my panties then." She grabs her underwear from Jessica and walks off.
Danny watches them then says, "I got Isaiah to eat baby food." He smiles.
"Good! Did he like it?"
"He loved it... I did not!" He looks at her with a serious face.
"You ate it?" She laughs.
"Of course!"
A few minutes later they hear a knock on the door.
"Oh that's Kathy with my Lola!" Jessica jumps up and runs to the door.
"Lola?!" Gabriella runs to the door.
They hear Lola's bark and Jessica says, "Oh my girl knows she's home!"
She opens the door and Kathy's standing there with her.
"LOLA!" Gabriella screams the sees Katy and yells, "Kit Kat!"
"Hey sugar!" She gets down and hugs her.
"Where are your clothes?" She chuckles and smacks her booty.
"She got sick so I had to bathe her, then she wanted her Elsa pajamas that are full food from the other day, so I gave her a choice and she chose to be naked."
"Well who wouldn't?!" Kathy laughs.
"And where are your pants, Jessica?!"
"Oh! Haha! She threw up on me so I had to shower and I just threw on one of Danny's T-shirts."
"Oh, well I hope you feel better, Gabby." She pinches her cheek while Gabriella sits on the floor and plays with Lola.
"Thanks Kit Kat."
"She seems okay now, so we'll see how the rest of the day goes, I guess." Jessica says.
"Thank you so much for everything, Kathy!"
"No problem! Did you all have a nice trip?"
"Yes! It was amazing!"
***
That night Gabriella slept in bed with Danny and Jessica.
"Mommy my tummy hurts!" She pokes her stomach.
"It does? My poor baby! Do you have to throw up?"
"No, it just hurts really bad!" She cries.
"I know baby! I'm so sorry. Do you want me to rub your tummy for you?"
"Yes!" She cries harder.
Jessica lifts her shirt and rubs her stomach.
Danny wakes up and says, "Is she okay?"
"Her stomach hurts. Can you bring me a bucket or something just in case she has to thow up again and we don't make it to the bathroom."
"Sure." He yawns and goes to look for a bucket.
"Mommy I can't sleep!" She whines.
"Come closer to mommy and we'll try to get to sleep, okay?" She holds her close while rubbing her stomach and says, "Let me tell you a story. A story about a King and a Queen that fell in love with each other. Their names were, King Daniel and Queen Jessica." She says as Gabriella looks at her and giggles.
"They were crazy about each other. They were inseparable and did just about everything together. Well one day the King asked Jessica to be his Queen, and you know what she said? She said yes! They got married at a beautiful beautiful church in front of all of their friends and family. While on their honeymoon they 'decided' to have a baby." She says as Danny walks in.
He sits the bucket down and lays beside them.
"A few weeks later, Queen Jessica was feeling so sick and she didn't know what was wrong! So she and the King went to the doctors so that they could tell her what was going on. When the doctor scanned the Queens belly there was a beautiful picture of a baby in her belly! The King and Queen were so excited, they spent the next few months decorating the room for their future princess. King Daniel loved touching the Queens belly to feel the baby move. She danced all over her mommy's tummy. One day they decided on a name for the gorgeous princess. Her name will be Princess Gabriella! Is what the King and Queen decided on."
"That's just like my name!" Gabriella smiles and points to herself.
"That right!" Jessica smiles then continues.
"After nine long and hard months, it was time for the Princess to be born. Her mommy and daddy were at a premier and her mommy kept getting really bad pains in her tummy, so she looked at the King and said, 'It's baby time!'. So after a lot and LOTS of hours, The Queen gave birth to a beautiful beautiful Princess named, Gabriella Danielle Huston! A year and a half later came a handsome Prince named Isaiah James Huston... And they all lived happily ever after!" She smiles and kisses her head.
"I like that story mommy!" Gabriella smiles.
"Well good! So do I!" Jessica giggles.
"Mommy..." She looks at her with a sick face.
"You gotta go?!" Jessica jerks up.
"Mhm!" She nods.
Danny grabs the bucket and Jessica holds her hair back just in time.
"Ah! I hate this!" Gabriella cries.
"I know baby, just let it all out!" She rubs her back.
***
The next morning Jessica jumps out of bed and runs to the toilet to throw up.
Danny hears her and stands in the doorway.
"Either you caught what Gabby has or I've gotta stock up on diapers."
"Shut up Danny!" She yells as she throws up.
