A surprise

"You guys, Caroline and I have some news for everyone."

"You're pregnant!" Ann guesses.

"No! *Laughs* I'm happy right now with being the Aunt of the baby, and Nova's sister in law."

Jessica laughs and says, "What is it then?  I feel like exciting news in this family is always a baby."

"Well um.. James and I have been working very hard since college for our dream home and uh.. Well it's official now!" She smiles.

"We have a home!" James finishes.

"Ah!  Oh my gosh, really?  You guys! Congratulations!" Jessica runs over and hugs them.

"I knew you guess could do it, I'm so proud of both of you!" Caroline's mother says.

"Thank you!  We're both very excited to be starting this new chapter in our lives together.  Once we're moved in and everything is set, we'll have everyone over!"

"Yeah, the house is huge!" James smiles.

"Where is it?" Dorothy asks.

"That's a surprise!"

"Oh my gosh!  My baby's officially leaving the nest." Jessica pouts and holds his face in her hands.

"Awe!  You did really well mom, I owe everything to you... and dad and Danny of course.  Thank you both for letting us stay there while we got on our feet."

"Oh it's not a problem at all!" Danny answers.

"If you guys are free tomorrow, we'd love to take everyone by the house."

"Oh my gosh, yes!  I'm so excited!!!"

***

The next day James talked to Danny and let him in on the secret. The plan was to blindfold Jessica and his brothers while Danny drove to the house.

"Daniel, I'm gonna throw up. Why am I blindfolded?"

"Because it's a surprise!"

"I'm not understanding this!"

"Just quiet, woman!"

"Yeah, quiet, mommy!" Grayson shouts.

"You tell her, son!"

Grayson didn't need to be blindfolded, but insisted on being like everyone else.

"Are we almost there?"

"Yep! I'm gonna help everyone out, but DO NOT touch your blindfold!"

**

Danny helps Jessica out of the car and she's stretches her body out.

"Careful babe, you almost fell!"

"Can I look now?"

"Not yet!"

"Well hurry up, I've gotta pee!"

"I feel like I'm about to do some type of weird sex thing."

"Oooooh! Mommy, Sam said sex!" Grayson looks up and points with his blindfold still on.

"Samuel, cut it out."

Once everyone is out of the car and ready James starts the countdown.

"Alright, everyone ready?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, three.. Two.... ONE!"

Everyone takes their blindfolds off and Jessica immediately starts crying.

"Oh my gosh! James-Y, NO WAY!!"

"I did it!" He smiles with tears in his eyes.

"It's daddy's house! It's our house! You got it! Oh my baby!" Jessica hugs him tight.

Since the day they sold their childhood home James had a dream of one day getting it back. It came sooner than expected, and he knew it had something to do with his father helping him out.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so happy! I've missed this house so much!
It has so many memories inside of it.... Now my grand babies will be raised in this house.. Oh James, I'm so happy for you two."

"Thank you, mom. Well let's get inside!  No use in just standing out here."

"Can I take this off now?" Grayson asks.

"Oh my baby!  Oh my gosh, Grayson, come to mommy!"

"Okay!" He runs with his blindfold on.

"No, take it off--"

"Ahh!" *Sobs uncontrollably*

"Well he isn't the brightest." Jessica says to Danny before walking over to help him up.

"Mommy, hold me!"

Jessica lifts him and Danny stop her.

"Jessica, you're gonna hurt yourself!"

"I'm fine.  It's okay, baby.  You're okay." She says patting his back.

"No, I'm bleeding!"

"We're gonna clean it up, you're okay."

**

"Oh my gosh, this is so weird!  It feels good to be back though." Michael says.

"I know... When we got the okay, I just sat in dad's office.. It was so unreal."

"Do you mind if I go upstairs, baby?" Jessica asks.

"No, go ahead."

Jessica starts walking towards the stairs with Grayson.

"Jessica, please be careful."

"I will."

...

"Grayson, look... This is your mommy and daddy's old room.. This is where you were conceived!  This is where we slept.. Where we had late night conversations about life.. This is where he took his last breath."

Grayson sniffles and looks around the room.

"This brings back so many memories.. Oh I miss you, Sammy!"

...

"Gray, you wanna see your old room?"

"Yeah!"

Jessica walks in and smiles.

"This is my baby boys room!  Baby Grayson. *Chuckles* Do you remember being in here?"

"Uhm, I think so!"

"Heh!  Well I certainly do..
I can't believe how big you are now, Grayson."

"Yeah." He smiles.

Jessica kisses his temple, then pats his thigh and puts him down.

"Ouch!  Mama's too pregnant to carry you for long!"

"Sorry, mommy!"

"It's okay, I like holding my baby!"

"But you've gots another baby in there!"

"I know!  It's okay, I'm tough!  I can handle it." She smiles.

"Yeah!" Grayson smiles and throws his arms around her leg and rests his head on it.

**

Danny found bandaids for Grayson, and covered all of his boo boos.

"Ouch!" He flinches while sitting up on the kitchen counter.

"It's okay!" Jessica holds his hand while Danny helps him.

"Oh my brave boy!  You did it!" Jessica wraps her arms around him and kisses his cheek.

"I'm so brave, mommy!"

"Yeah you are, big boy!"

"Daddy, help me down so mommy doesn't hurt the baby."

"Awe, you're such a cutie pie!" Jessica kisses his nose and moves over so Danny can put him down.

**

Let's all have a celebratory dinner on me!" Danny smiles.

"Thanks, Danny!"

"No problem!  Hey, and if you kids need any help around the house or getting things set up, you know I'm here."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Huston."

"My name is Danny, Caroline!" He chuckles.

"Sorry!  I'm trying to get better at that!" She laughs.

**

"Damn mom, you ate all the breadsticks!"

"Sam, don't say that!" Gray stands on his chair just to yell at his brother.

"But mommy, you did eat all the bread.." He looks over to Jessica.

"I'm sorry!  It's your sister's fault!  I'll ask for some more."

"Okay!" Grayson sits down and talks to her belly.

"Sissy, don't eat all the bread this time, you'll get a tummy ache!"

Jessica can't help but smile at his cuteness.

She rubs his back as he speaks to his little sister.

"I love my little family." Jessica says feeling overwhelmed with happiness.

***
This was a boring chapter, but that happens sometimes. 
I'm going to work on other stories next, I know I've just been focusing a lot on this one only, so I'm sorry!

I do have a few questions!
Should Sam move in with Tiffany, or should she move in with him? 
Or should things stay the same?  I'm not really sure what I should do.
