He's not your son
When James returned from his honeymoon Jessica and Danny invited their entire family over to their house just to spend some time together.
"You look so beautiful, Mrs. Huston! How are you feeling?"
"Oh thank you, sweetheart! I feel great! Oh and you don't have to call me Mrs. Huston. Call me Jessica, Jessie, Jess, mom, I don't care, whatever you want!"
"Awe! You're so sweet! Thank you.. Mom!"
Jessica chuckles and gives Caroline a hug.
"Caro! My sister in law!"
"Haha! Hi Sam! Oh and congratulations! James told me! I'm gonna be an aunt!"
"Heh, yeah! Oh and it's a boy!" Sam smiles.
"It's a boy?!" James' eyes widen.
"Yep!"
"Ah man, congratulations!"
"Thank you!" Sam says as James hugs him.
"Everyone should be here soon, I'm so excited for them to know I'm gonna be a grandma!"
James chuckles and wraps his arm around his mother, before kissing her temple.
"Yeah, and Tiffany is coming too! I'm excited for her to meet the family."
"Are you two together?"
"No, we're just trying to build a friendship right now. I mean, we barely know each other." Sam chuckles.
"Well that's good, Sam. I'm happy for you." Caroline smiles.

"Hey Tiff, thanks for coming. How are you feeling?"
"Okay. Your little guy is playing a game called, Stick your feet in mommy's ribs." Tiffany chuckles.
"Ouch! Sorry! Settle down in there, booger!" Sam rubs his hand on her stomach.
Samuel introduced Tiffany to everyone as his friend. Which was true, she was his friend. They just didn't know that she was carrying his child.
"Hey everyone.. I just wanted to say something really quick.. You've all met my friend Tiffany, but what you don't know is... That's my baby she has in there." He chuckles.
"What?! Shut up!" Jane shouts.
"I'm gonna be a great aunt?!" Ann smiles.
"I already knew. I know what the baby is too!" George smirks.
"I'm gonna be a great grandma!!" Dorothy jumps up and runs to hug Sam.
"Yeah, grandma! It's a boy by the way."
"Oh my gosh!!"
"Jessie, you're gonna be a grandma!"Sam's mother chuckles.
"I am! I'm so excited! I love him already!"
"Awe!
My Samuel! He would've been a great grandpa." Jane smiles softly.
Jessica's eyes fill with tears and she nods her head.
"I know.. Can you believe those two little knocked up freshmen are going to be grandparents?" Jessica chuckles.
"Haha! That's unbelievable!"
"And Grayson's gonna be an uncle!" Angelica laughs.
"I am!" Grayson smiles proudly.
"How adorable is that?!
And your little lady bug is gonna be an auntie! How cute!!" Angelica chuckles and taps Jessica's belly.
"Haha, yeah!"
The baby starts moving and Jessica laughs.
"As you can tell, she's very excited about the news."
***
January 31st. 24 weeks pregnant.
"Sixteen weeks till love bug arrives!" Danny shouts from the bedroom.
Jessica was in the bathroom getting ready.
"She'll be here before we know it!" Jessica smiles down at her belly as she applies lotion to it.
"Hey, what are you doing? You know lotioning your belly is my job!" Danny says getting up from the bed and walking into the restroom.
"Sorry!" She chuckles.
"It's great bonding time for me and the baby. We like to talk, don't we, my little lady bug?" Danny says gently brushing his nose back and forth on her bump.
The baby kicks in response and Jessica giggles.
"See? She agrees. Say right daddy!" Danny says that last part in a high pitched baby voice.
"You're the cutest!" Jessica laughs.
"Thanks! *Smiles* Hey, did you know that our baby is about the size of an ear of corn?"
"Is she?"
"Yes! She's getting so big! I want you to come out!"
Jessica giggles and plays with his hair.
"You're such an amazing daddy."
Danny kisses her belly and stands up.
He pecks her lips, and wraps his arms around her.
"Thanks, baby. I'm really excited to be going through this again. Especially with you. You are the most amazing woman I've ever met.. The fact that you're carrying my child just makes me love you even more than I ever thought possible."
"Awe!" Jessica looks up at him and kisses his lips.
**
Jessica and Danny get ready for the day and walk down stairs.
"Daniel, look at him!" Jessica says looking at Sam who was passed out on the couch with an opened bag of chips, an empty pizza box, and a couple bottles of beers on the coffee table.
"Samuel!" Jessica stands over him and hits his arm hard.
"Ah! What?!"
"Get up and clean this mess! What the hell are you doing?"
"I fell asleep, I'm sorry!"
"Samuel, you're not a kid anymore, you have to stop acting like it and be a man! You're gonna be a father soon, Act like it!"
"I am!"
"Oh really? How's work, Sam?"
"Mom!"
"No! Tell me about it?" Jessica was fuming. She knew Sam had yet to get a job.
"Sam, I don't think you know how expensive it is to have a child. You think it's gonna be easy? It's not! And when that baby comes, You will have to provide for not only the baby, but Tiffany as well! You won't be able to have pizza parties by yourself, you won't be able to drink every night. As a matter of fact, I want all this damn beer out of the house!" Jessica says quickly walking to the kitchen.
"Daddy, why is mommy mad?" Grayson asks Danny.
"She's just hungry, bud. Grayson, why don't you play with your toys until mommy and daddy take you to school?"
"Okay! FRED! Let's play toys!!"
Danny follows Jessica into the kitchen and stops her.
"Jess, honey calm down. You're gonna hurt yourself."
"He has to grow up, Daniel!"
"I know that, Jess. I'm gonna talk to him. Just please calm down, you're pregnant, honey."
Jessica huffs and sits down.
"I don't understand him, Daniel!"
"I know.. Just calm down, babe." Danny stands behind her and massages her back.
"Get off of me!" Jessica pushes him off and fiercely walks out to the car.
Danny walked out to the living room and stood in front of Sam, blocking his view of the tv.
"Dan-"
"No Sam, listen. Your mother is pregnant! You can't keep her worried like this. She can't stress right now. You're about to be a father, Sam. When are you going to start taking responsibility? You're gonna need money. Your mom and I are here, but our baby will be here right after yours, and we'll be busy with her. We have Grayson now to look after, and he doesn't need to always hear your mom get so frustrated with you."
"I'm sorry." Sam rubs his eyes and yawns.
"I'm serious, Sam. Please take some responsibility. Think of what your dad would want."
"Do Not bring him up!" Sam stands.
"I'm sorry, but have you thought about that?"
"Yes Danny! Yes I have! Why do you have to throw him in my face?"
"I'm not, I'm just trying to get you to do the right thing."
"Don't worry about it. It's my life, I'll take care of it."
Danny sighs and says, "Grayson! Come on, son. It's time for school."
"He's not your son!" Sam says.
Danny ignores him and grabs Grayson's backpack.
"Yes he is my daddy, Sam!"
"Grayson, don't be dumb."
"Hey you meany! I don't like you right now!"
"Come on, buddy, we don't wanna be late."
"You are my daddy, daddy." He pouts and hugs Danny's leg tightly, while resting his head on him.
"I know, bud. Let's go."
Danny puts Grayson in his car seat and gets in the drivers seat.
"You okay?" He pats Jessica's thigh.
"I'm fine." Jessica answers leaning her elbow on the window, with one hand resting on her bump.
"Mommy, Sam said that daddy's not my daddy!"
"What?! Oh he wants me to beat his ass!" Jessica opens the door.
"Jess, don't. It's fine." Danny quickly grabs her arm.
"No, Danny-"
"Jessica, the kid is going through a lot right now. Just leave him alone."
"I'm sick of his attitude, Daniel."
"I know.. Let's just forget about it right now."
"Momma, Sam called me dumb."
"Grayson, you are not dumb! Don't listen to him!"
"No, I'm not dumb, I'm smart!"
"Yes you are, baby!"
"Thank you, mommy!
Am I gonna be late for school?"
"Nah bud, we're leaving right now.
Close the door, Jess."
Jessica huffs and slams the door.

"What's wrong with you, Jessie?" George asks when Jessica walks in to work.
"I had a lovely morning with Daniel, then I come downstairs and see my lazy son passed out on the couch. I just want more for him, George. He went to college and what is he doing? Making babies and creating potholes on my couch!"
"He's a young kid, maybe-"
"Don't give me that, Sam was FOURTEEN! Fourteen, George! He was too young to get a job, but the day he could, he got two!
Sam wants this baby, he's excited for this baby, but he doesn't want to work! He can't just play house, he HAS TO MAKE MONEY!"
"I know. You want me-"
"And you know what else he did?" Jessica cuts him off.
"He told MY son that Danny is not his father! Why would he say that? Yes, I know he isn't, but that's the only father Grayson knows, and he's a damn good one. How can he disrespect him like that?"
"It's something else, Sam isn't like this. There has to be a reason."
"Well I wish he'd cut it out! I have had it, George!"
"I know, just calm down, Jess. You're pregnant."
"Why does everyone keep saying that! I know I'm pregnant, dammit!"
"We're just worried about you."
"Well thanks but- Ow!" Jessica grabs the lower part of her stomach.
"Jessica!" George rushes over to her side.
