Happy Anniversary
"Happy anniversary, mom." The boys hug her.
"Thank you boys." She smiles.
We made you some French toast."
"Oh boys, you're so sweet! Thank you!"
"You're welcome. How are you?"
Jessica takes a deep breath and says, "I'm doing okay.. It's weird.. But I'm okay."
"Mom I was just wondering.." James starts.
"James, not now." Sam interrupts him.
"Why not?"
"Because."
"What's going on?" Jessica asks.
"Do you want to go to the cemetery today?"
Jessica just looks at him and doesn't say anything.
"I told you not to ask! You have to let her do it on her own time."
"No.. No, it's fine.
*Sighs*
No I-I can't."
"That's okay. I just didn't know if you wanted to visit him."
Jessica's bottom lip quivers and James moves next to her.
"Mom, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to upset you."
"No! You're fine! It's just hard for me to go over there knowing that he's-" Jessica begins to sob.
"No, don't cry." He wraps his arm around her and pulls her close to him.
"Maybe one day, but not today.
I'm sorry if that's bad, but.. I just can't do it.. Not yet."
"No don't apologize. It's okay, I understand."
"Thank you..
I can't even imagine how I'll feel on his birthday."
"I know, mom. Just stop crying, you're gonna make the baby upset." He places his hand on her stomach and feels his unborn brother squirming around.
"He's always playing around, isn't he?" James chuckles.
"Yeah!" Jessica smiles.
James kisses the top of her head and stay in that position until she feels better.

Later that day Jessica went into the game room where the boys were and asked, "Boys, do you watch your father and I's wedding video?"
"Yeah! I don't think we've ever seen it, have we?" Michael smiles.
"No, I don't think so."
Samuel puts it in for her and they sit on the couch in the game room.
***
Right before they walked down the isle, Sam knelt down to talk to the boys.
"Hey guys! Lookin sharp!" He smiles.
"We look nice!" James smiles.
"Haha! Yes you do!
Boys, we're about to go in the church and mama and I are gonna say a loooot of words, but guess what!"
"What?!" Michael widens his eyes and lifts his hands, with his mouth in an 'O' shape.
"Heh! Mama and I are gonna be married when mass is over! Isn't that cool?"
"Yeah! So cool!
Daddy.. What's married?" Samuel asks.
"It's when two people who love each other very very much.. They promise to never love someone else until they die.. They promise to take care of each other no matter if they are rich, or poor.. To love each other through sickness and health, forever!"
"Forever?!" James' eyes widen.
"Forever!" Sam chuckles.
The music starts and Sam finishes up.
"Alright that's our cue.
Just know daddy loves mommy so so much.
I promise to never ever hurt her and to take care of and you four forever.
Everyone goes through hard times, but we'll be okay, right? The Shepard family can get through anything! I'll make sure of it." Sam smiles.
"Heh! You boys don't even know what I'm saying, do you?"
"It's okay, daddy!" James smiles and hugs him.
"Awe, thanks." Sam smiles and hugs all three of them.
"Do good!"
"You too!" Samuel gives him a thumbs up, making Sam laugh.
The twins were the cutest little ring bearers, and walked like little gentleman down the isle.
Sam smiles and chuckled to himself as he saw them walk down.
Michael came down next with a sign that said, "Here comes the bride!"
The puzzled look on his face was priceless.
"Mikey, come here!" Sam whispers loudly.
Michael see's him and smiles as he runs over.
Sam chuckles and grabs his hand, then stands him with his brother's.
Finally the time came for Sam to see his bride.
The music started and the guest rose.
Before he even saw her, Sam teared up.
Him and Jessica were so young, but had been through so much together.
He loved her more than anything in this world, and it she felt the same for him.
When the doors opened and Sam saw her for the first time, he cried like a baby.
Jessica couldn't take her eyes off of him.
She smiles and a chuckle escaped her, as she struggled to keep her tears from falling.
Her dad kisses her cheek and shook Sam's hand.
"Take care of my girl. I know you will."
"I promise you, sir." Sam smiles before Albert hugs him.
Sam looks at Jessica, and she wipes his tear stained cheeks.
"You look beautiful."
"Thanks." She smiles.
"You look handsome!"
"Thanks." He chuckles.
"Mommy!" Michael yells with a smile, making everyone laugh.
Jessica waves and smiles.
"Hi baby!" She whispers.
Samuel holds his hand to keep him from running over to her, but Dorothy takes him and sits him on her lap, so little Samuel wouldn't have to worry about it.
"Jessica.. I have loved you since I was fifteen years old... At a young age, our lives were completely changed.. Instead running from it, we accepted it and made something so beautiful.
You are the sweetest person in this world.. The absolute most beautiful.. And the best mama to our boys, which is the best of all.
Watching you with them.. Watching you play with them.... Watching you grow and nurture them for nine long months, made my love for you grow into something so incredible.
I didn't think love like this was real.. But I have it and it's the most wonderful thing ever, and I'm never letting go.
I look forward to our future together. Whatever it may hold.. Love, happiness.. Heartache.. Bumps down the road.. Tears.. Laughter.. Family.. Babies?" He smiles as Jessica laughs and nods her head No.
"Whatever it is.. I'll be there through it all.. and I will love you until the day I die.. God gave me you.. and I promise.. I'll give you everything."
Jessica wipes her tears and smiles.
"Samuel Shepard.. My Sammy Wammy!" She smiles and Sam laughs.
"Like you said, we've been through a lot.
When most guys would run away from their obstacles, you faced them with the best attitude.
I love that I was able to carry your boys, and to feel our love growing inside me.
They will forever be our best creations, and biggest headache." She chuckles.
"The love I have for you is inexplicable, and it continues to grow more and more each day.
Watching you with the boys makes my heart feel so happy and complete. I love how much they love you and how much you love them. This look you get when you're with them, makes me fall in love with you all over again.
I look forward to growing old with you and looking back and thinking.. We did it! We accomplished so much in our lifetime, and most importantly, we did it together.
I believe that you were sent to me so early in life, because God wanted us together for a long long time.
God gave me you, my sweet sweet boy.. and I promise to give you all the love a patients I have. I love you forever and ever Samuel." She smiles.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, Samuel, may now kiss your beautiful bride"
"Hot damn!" Sam smiles before lifts her veil.
Jessica laughs and he grabs her, then dips her for a deep and passionate kiss.
He stands her up and Jessica catches her breath.
"Woo! Haha, I got married!" She smiles big and everyone laughs.
Sam grabs her hand and says. "This way, boys!" He motions for them to follow them.
All three run after them in the cutest way.
Before the reception, Jessica holds Michael and he lays on her shoulder.
"This! This!" He hit her cleavage.
"What are you doing?" She laughs and moves his hand.
"I think he's hungry." Sam says.
"I just fed you!"
"Hungwyyyyyy!" He yells.
"Okay, you're gonna go with grandma and she'll feed you, okay?"
"No I want those!" He grabs her.
"So do I son." Sam smirks.
"Oh gosh!" Jessica chuckles and rolls her eyes.
"Here, go with grandma." She pulls his hands off her boobs and hands him to Sam's mom.
Jessica and Sam take pictures, before it was time to walk into the reception.
"Can you believe it baby? We did it!" Sam smiles standing behind her with his hands around her waist.
"I know! You're my husband!" She looks up at him and smiles.
"And You're my wife!"
"That's so cool!
Tonight I'm gonna have sex with a husband and it's mine!"
"You're such a dork!" Sam laughs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, please help me welcome Mr. And Mrs. Samuel Shepard!"
Everyone cheers for them, and they walk out to do their first dance as husband and wife.
As they dance to their wedding song, Jessica lays her head on him and rests her eyes.
"I love you, baby girl." He kiss the top of her head.
"I love you more more more!!" She looks up at him and smiles.
Sam chuckles and leans down to kiss her lips.
"Go mommy and daddy!" The twins yell.
They laugh and look over to them.
"Look at those little dweebs." Sam says making Jessica laugh.
"We made them." She smiles.
"Yep! We sure did." Sam looks at the boys with a loving smile.
"Let's make another one." He looks down at her and smiles bigger.
"Are you crazy?! We have three kids! I'm twenty and you're twenty one, let's wait like ten years and have one when people usually start their family."
"Alright, deal!" He chuckles.
"Heh!"
They share a deep kiss before they feel little hands on them.
"We wanna dance too!" Samuel smiles as his parents look down at him.
"Well we'd love to!" Jessica smiles.
Sam lifts the twins and Jessica lifts Michael; and they dance to, "God gave me you"
When it ends, Sam leans over and kisses Jessica's lips, grossing out the twins.
"Awe man! Don't do that!" James says and they make a face, or cover their eyes, while Michael just laughs.
"Hah! That's why you boys won't be coming with us on our honeymoon!" Sam says Jessica laughs.
***
Watching the video, memories of conversations she and Sam had came flooding back to her.
"I remember he wanted another baby.. I told him to wait like ten years before we tried.. Why did I do that?
He wanted another baby and I didn't give him one!"
"Mom you are though!" James says.
"He's not here to be with him the way he was here for you three! I feel bad for bringing a baby into this world without him."
"Mom I know this is horrible, but God's timing was perfect. Dad will still know this baby and this baby will know dad. Don't worry." Samuel wraps his arm around her.
Jessica places one hand on the bottom of her stomach, and one hand on the top as the baby moves around.
Her eyes widen and she lets out a light gasp.
"What's wrong?" Michael asks.
"I remember the name your dad always liked!"
"You do? What was it?"
"Grayson." She smiles looking towards the ground.
"I like that name?" Michael says.
"You do?" Jessica smiles.
"Yeah, me too!"
"It's cute." James says.
"Yeah it is..
Man, how did that just come to me?"
"Dad." Michael says.
Jessica gives him a soft smile with teary eyes.
"Do you like that name? Huh? Do you like it, little guy?" She smiles and looks at her bump.
The baby gives her a big kick that they can see.
"Whoa! I think he does!" Michael laughs.
"Heh! I think so! Do you want your name to be Grayson? I think you feel like one."
The baby pushes his hand up, creating a bump in the middle of her stomach.
Jessica chuckles and touches it.
"I think that's his little hand!" She smiles.
The boys take turns feeling it with wide and excited eyes.
They were amazed at the things that were happening in their mothers body.
"You're so strong, Grayson!" She says.
"So is it official?" James looks at her.
"Yeah." Jessica nods and smiles, then looks down at her belly and says, "Happy Anniversary, Sammy Wammy."
