September 16th.

"Good morning, Jess!"

"Morning, honey. Nova and Grayson, you're up already?"

"Yep! Daddy's making me breakfast, and you need to feed Nova before she starts cryin'."

"Oh come here my little love bug! Are you hungry, precious girl?"

Nova looks to her mother with a smile.

Jessica giggles. "Good morning, beautiful!"

Jessica kisses her forehead and Nova coos.

"You have so much to say this morning, don't you?"

Danny walks over and kisses her temple. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes." Jessica smiles softly.

Sam, Tiffany and the baby come down and Sam hugs his mother.

"Hey.. how are you?"

"I'm fine, Samuel. Thank you."

"Oh right! It's your anniversary! I'm sorry, baby. Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine you guys! I mean, it's of course a difficult day, but I have a great family. It's not a sad day.. it's a happy day. Sam and I got married eighteen years ago! That to me is so crazy! He gave me the best life and I love him. Now I have Daniel and he as well has given me the best life possible. I love you, baby."

Danny smiles and kisses her cheek.

Jessica clears her throat and looks down to Nova. "Now.. please excuse me so I can feed this little princess.
.. Thank you for waiting so patiently, Novies!"

Nova always made it very obvious she enjoyed her meal. She hummed loudly and ate as fast as she could.

"Novies, mama's not going anywhere! Slow down, silly!" Jessica laughed.

Nova looked up to her mother with her big beautiful eyes.

"Look at your gorgeous eyes! They look a little like mommy's, don't they? Yes they do! Are you gonna be mommy's little mini me? You and I are gonna wear matching outfits all the time! You may get annoyed but I've always had boys so give me a break! You're gonna match your momma whether you like it or not!" Jessica chuckles and kisses Nova's forehead.

Jessica closed her eyes for a second and laid her head back. She started thinking. She thought back eighteen years ago to the day she married Sam.

"How has it been so long? I love you so much, Sammy.. I'll never stop loving you." Jessica says in a low voice.

The weekend came and Jessica and Danny just stayed home and hung out with the kids.

Sam, Tiffany and the baby were spending the day with James and Caroline.

"Oh you just love auntie Caroline, don't you?! Well I love you too, Samuel!" Caroline kisses his cute little nose.

James smiles and Sam says, "Ooh James, I think your woman might have baby fever!"

"I do!"

"Have one!!" Tiffany smiles.

"Yeah bro, get er done!" Sam says.

James rolls his eyes, "Well we're thinking about it."

"Really? You guys should have a baby! Then Samuel, Nova and your baby will all be best friends!"

"I just want to dress em up in cute little outfits and take in that yummy baby smell all day!" Caroline says sniffing the baby's head.

"Well they don't always smell that good!" Tiffany laughs.

"No they do not! Sometimes.. Most of the time they smell like.. something you can't even imagine!" Sam nods.

"If they want to start a family, we have to tell em like it is, huh babe?" Tiffany nudges him.

"Yep! Say goodbye to sleep. The kid doesn't care. Sometimes he screams for no reason at all, sometimes he's perfectly time and just doesn't want to sleep."

"Say goodbye to your social life. Sam and I tried going out to dinner with some friends and brought the baby, and he.. Well he pooped everywhere! We had to leave and-"

"And it was disgusting!" Sam finishes.

"He cries for absolutely no reason at all! Caroline your body will go through some crazy shit!"

"Pregnancy and birth is just.. Cruel." Sam nods his head.

James and Caroline sat there not even blinking.

"They throw up on you,they pee and poop on you.. they're little pigs most of the time.. But they're also so sweet and they love you more than anything." Tiffany smiles and looks at Sam.

"Yeah.. being a father is the best thing that's happened to me. It's difficult, there's not an easy thing about being a parent.. but seeing that little face you know you created.. It makes all the yucky stuff, the sleepless nights, the stained clothes-"

"The stretch marks, the sore boobs, the long pregnancy and hours and hours of painful labor.. It makes it all worth it." Tiffany says with a smile.

Caroline looks to James and at the same time they both say, "Maybe we'll wait."

Sam and Tiffany chuckle.

"Enjoy being married for a while longer. When the time is right I know you guys will be the best parents!"

"Thanks Tiff! For now being an awesome uncle to this cute little guy is good enough for me!" James says leaning over and kissing Samuel's cheek making him giggle.

Danny and Jessica's POV.

"I wanna hold my sissy!"

"Okay baby, sit down."

Grayson jumps up on the couch and smiles with excitement. He wiggles in his seat and holds his arms out for his sister.

"You wanna go with your big brother, Nova?"

Jessica carefully places Nova in Grayson's arms and sits beside them while Danny get his camera out.

"I love her so much! Can we please have more babies?!" Grayson looks to his mother with his adorable smile.

"Uh mommy?" Danny smiles at Jessica.

"No!" She laughs.

"You have four older brothers and one adorable baby sister. You have enough siblings and a Fred.. No more babies!"

"Awe man! Well okay.. I guess we don't need another baby."

"No, we're good!" Jessica giggles and softly plays with his hair.

"We can just get another dog!"

"Grayson!"

"A bunny?"

Jessica tilts her head.

"A bird?"

"Gray."

"A little baby kitty?" Grayson says in a high pitched voice.

Jessica laughs and wraps her arm around him then gives him a kiss.

"Why are you so cute?!"

"Because I'm a stud." He smirks.

Jessica nods, "Your brother told you to say that, didn't he?"

"Yep!"

"Hah! I thought so!"

Nova starts to fuss so Grayson looks down and gently rocks her.

"No need to cry, pretty girl! I've got you and I won't let anything happen to you! I got you in my little arms.. I won't let you fall.. I've got you, silly!" He smiles cutely and kisses her cheeks.

Jessica and Danny's hearts just melted watching them together.
