A few days later.

"Mommy, you look beautiful!"

"Awe!  Thank you so much, baby!"

"You're welcome!  Are we leaving yet?"

"In a second, I just have to feed your sister before we get on the road."

"It's like five minutes away, momma!" Grayson gives Jessica a crazy look.

"Heh!  Well I know that, but I don't think your sister is gonna want to wait till we get to aunt Sarah's."

"Okay.  Hurry up and eat, Novies!  I want to get to the party!"

"Are you excited to see all your friends?"

"Yeah!  And Asher is one today, momma!"

"I know, baby!"

"Is daddy coming?"

"Yes!  He just had to go to the office really quick.  He's gonna meet us there."

"Okay!  Can I bring Fred?"

"Not today, okay?"

"Awe man!"

"Another day you can." Jessica smiles.

"Okay.." Grayson lowers his head.

"Hey, don't pout!  You're too cute to pout!"

"Thanks" Grayson immediately snaps out of his sad little state and gives his mother a big smile.

**

"Jessica!  Hi!  Oh you look so great!"

"Thank you, Sarah!"

"Oh and hello, little miss Nova!  How lovely it is to see you!" Sarah giggles.

Jessica smiles and kisses Nova's forehead.

"Where's Danny?"

"Oh he's on his way!  He needed to run by his office."

"Is he still on maternity leave?"

"Haha!  Yeah, he is.  He still has a few weeks home with us."

"That's great!"

"I know.  I just love having him with me all the time." Jessica smiles.

"Ah.. You two are still in that honeymoon stage.. Enjoy it while it lasts!" Sarah laughs.

"Well I guess you and Sam were in that stage for seventeen years, huh?"

"Yeah!" Jessica smiles and nods.

"You must be great in bed."

"Oh my God, Sarah!" She laughs.

"Sorry!  Heh!  Come in, take a seat.  And hand over the baby!  I need my Nova love!"

Jessica smiles and hands her over.

"Where's the birthday boy?"

"He's right there, mommy!" Grayson points to Asher who was crawling over to her.

"There he is!  Asher, come to aunt Jessie!"

Asher smiles coyly before turning around and quickly crawling away.

"What!  You get your fat butt over here, little mister!" Jessica walks over and picks him up.

Asher laughs and claps his hands.

"Haha!  You're such a cutie!  Happy Birthday, Ash!"

He smiles and hits his hands on her boobs.

"Mommy!  He's hitting your boobies!" Grayson cracks up.

"Asher!  I'm sorry, Jess." Sarah says.

"Heh!  It's okay!  Whatcha doin' silly boy?"

He babbles and throws himself on her shoulder.

"Awe!  He just wants a hug!" Jessica rubs his back and kisses the top of his head.

"No, he's laying on your boobs, Momma!"

"Grayson!" Jessica laughs.

**

Grayson was playing with the kids, and the rest of Jessica's boys had just gotten there.

"Hey boys!" She smiles.

"Hey!  Where's the booze?" Sam asks.

"Samuel!"

"I'm just playing!  I heard there's a moonwalk?"

Sarah laughs and says, "There is.  Enjoy!"

"YES!" He runs to the back.

Tiffany rolls her eyes and chuckles.

The rest of the boys look at each other before running to the back yard.

"Oh goodness.. Boys, if you break that thing, you're in big trouble!" Jessica shouts.

"Yes, ma'am!" They respond.

"They're so well behaved." Sarah chuckles.

Jessica laughs and takes the baby from Tiffany.

"Hi buddy!  How's grandma's little man?"

He smiles and kicks his legs.

"Awe you cutie!" She kisses his chubby cheek.

"You two go get something to eat, I'll watch him."

"Thank you!" Tiffany smiles.

**

Jessica went out to the back and watched the kids play with her older boys.

"Those boys are just giant kids! All like their fathers." She laughs.

"You talkin' about me?" Danny startles her by wrapping his arms around her stomach and placing his chin on her shoulder.

"You scared me!"

"Sorry!" He kisses her cheek, and grabs her waist to turn her around.

He pulls her body to his and kisses her passionately.

"Mmm.." Jessica moans into his lips.

"Oh baby, you know I miss the big belly, but I've missed holding you this close to me!"

*Giggles* "Someone's horny!"

"Your body's pressed against mine, your lips taste like candy, your boobs are.. Oh God!" Danny looks down and aches for her.

Jessica laughs and Danny asks, "Come on, baby.. Let's go home!" Danny grabs her butt on his hands.

"Danny! What is wrong with you!" She says trying to push him away.

"I saw that, Danny! Get your hands off my mother's ass, please." Sam asks making Danny turn red.

"Ass? Mommy's ass?"

"Grayson, that's a bad word, please don't say it again. Samuel, I'm gonna beat your ass!"

"Oop! Mommy!" Grayson laughs.

"Sorry, Grayson!  Don't repeat what mommy said."

"I won't, cause I'm a good boy!" Grayson gives her a serious face.

"I'm sorry, baby.. I get a little crazy around you." Danny says.

"Well you're going to need to calm down, buddy! I just had a baby come out of there! I do not want anything up there any time soon!"

Danny pouts and Jessica laughs.

"No!"

"Oh alright!" He groans.

**

Danny and Jessica are sitting outside watching Grayson run around and play, while Danny has Nova in his arms.

"Oh look who's up!" He smiles down to the baby who was looking around, confused at her new surroundings.

"It's okay! We're just outside, baby girl.. I know we haven't see much of that, have we?" He chuckles.

Danny bounces the baby and places a soft kiss on her forehead.

"There we go! All better!"

Jessica smiles at how amazing Danny is with the baby when she hears Grayson shout, "Mommy, I got an owie!"

"Oh no! What happened, baby?" She says looking down at his scraped up knee.

"It was Sam!" He turns and gives his brother a mean stare.

"Samuel! What did you do to my baby?" She says picking Grayson up and placing him on her lap.

"I didn't touch him!"

"He chased me into that bush!" Grayson points.

"That would explain the hair, and the dirt on your NEW cute little outfit!"

"He's a bad boy, momma! Give him a spanken!"

Jessica chuckles softly.

"Samuel, will you please not chase your brother into a bush?"

"Mom, you're acting like I'm a child!"

"He fell in a bush! Just don't lead him into any danger, please."

"Fine! But HE started it!" Sam points.

"I did not!" Grayson shouts.

"Oh my goodness, it's like I have two five year olds! Quit this fighting back and forth right now!"

Grayson frowns and gives Sam a mean look before sticking his tongue out.

"Stick it back in your mouth, Grayson."

"I didn't do anything, mommy." He smiles sweetly.

"Grayson.. Are we telling stories?"

"No mommy. *Nods* Stories are in books, and I don't have one, silly!" Grayson smiles and shows her his empty hands.

Jessica laughs and kisses his forehead before laying him down on her.

***

June 26th.

"Happy one month old, my pretty princess!  Are you ready for your photoshoot today?  You're going to be the most gorgeous little model ever!"

Nova kicks her legs and moves her arms uncontrollably as her mother dresses her.

"You're so cute!  Haven't even learned how to control your little arms and legs yet, have you?" Jessica chuckles.

"That's exactly how you used to kick momma when she tried to sleep! *Giggles* Such a little wiggle worm!" Jessica says in a cute voice.

"Mommy, am I looking good?" Grayson runs in.

"You're looking amazing, Grayson!  So so handsome!"

"Thank you, mommy!  Daddy did my hair!"

"Well your daddy did a terrific job!"

"Yeah.. Momma, me, Zach, Mikey, Sam, and James are gonna take a picture with Nova?"

"Yep!  The Princess with her big strong protectors!"

"Yeah!" Grayson deepens his voice and shows his muscles.

"Oh my goodness, you're so strong!"

"Yeah cause I'm five and when you're five, you're real strong, mommy!"

"Yes!" Jessica giggles and kisses him.

"Is she ready, mama?"

"Mhm!  She's ready!"

"Let me look at her!" Grayson lifts his arms so Jessica can help him onto the bed.

"Oh my gosh!"

"What, baby?"

"She's so cute!" Grayson says in a cute voice.

Jessica smiles and Grayson says, "I love her, mommy."

"Oh baby, that's so sweet!  She loves her big brother too."

"That's good!"

"Yeah!" Jessica laughs.

**

"Ah!  Look at the little bean!  Oh Danny, I can't take her cuteness!"

"I know!  We made her!" Danny says loudly as he points to Nova.

Jessica laughs and rests her head on him and as he wraps his arms around her and rests them on her stomach.

"Look at those little lips!  I just wanna kiss em!" Jessica's voice went high.

"She puckers them when she sleeps." Danny chuckles.

"Mhm.. I just can't get over how perfect she is.  She's going to be so beautiful when she grows up."

"Just like her mommy." Danny smiles and sways her body from side to side.

"You're so sweet." Jessica's smile grows.  She places her palm on his cheek before sliding it back to his hair and massaging his head.

"Mmm.. That feels nice.
You're making me sleepy." Danny says in a sleepy voice.

Jessica chuckles and continues massaging his head.

"Okay, boys!  Come over here and stand behind your sister.  This first one I want you to stand in birth order, and hold your signs up." Jane said.

Jessica loves that her sister is a photographer, she's been taking so many adorable pictures of Nova.

Each boy had a sign in their hand with one word.  All together it said, "Don't You Mess With Her".

Nova was dressed in a pink tutu, and of course her little tiara.

"This is such a cute idea!  You're a genius, babe!"

"Oh thanks!  Heh, but I found it on Pinterest, so I can't really take credit for that." She laughs.

Danny kisses her cheek and says, "No.. But you did make five out of six of those beautiful kids over there."

"That I did do!" Jessica smiles smiles and lays her head to the side. 

Danny laughs and hugs her tighter as he kisses her neck.

"Ah! Your stubble tickles! Oh and don't hug me too tight, I might pee on myself!"

"Okay!" He laughs.

"Stop this!  Stop this!  Fred needs to be in the picture too!  He protects Nova too!" Grayson shouts.

"Of course, how could we forget Fred?" Jessica giggles.

"You're too busy kissing each other and you're not thinking."

"Grayson!" She laughs.

"It's true!"

"Oh goodness." Jessica chuckles and she and Danny watch them as their picture is being taken.

"Look at them."

"I know.. I'm so happy our family is so close.  There is no step brother or half sister.. We're a family.  They're all brothers with a baby sister.. We're so lucky to have them.. We are lucky to have found each other." Jessica says.

"Yes we are...
If you would've told me five years ago that this would be my life.. I'd think you were crazy.  Meeting you has changed my life, Jessica... I never thought I could be this happy."

Jessica smiles softly and her eyes tear up.

"I know.. After Sam passed, I didn't think that I would ever feel happiness like this again.  I don't know what I would do without you, Zachary and Nova.. It's so weird how life works.. Something awful happened, but I received something so so beautiful.  I love you, Danny."

"I love you more, baby."

Jessica turns to Danny and they share a slow passionate kiss.

"Again with this kissing!  This is just nonsense!" They hear Grayson's little voice.

Jessica breaks the kiss laughing.

"You're starting to sound more and more like your older brother everyday, little mister!"
