While Jessica and the two boys were in line for the tower of terror, James stayed with the baby.

"Since you're asleep, brother is going to go find Mickey Mouse and you're gonna take a picture. Without tears!!"

James grabs their things and walks around the park.

"There he is!!

Mickey!!" He waves him down.

"Will you hold my little brother?"

James hands him over and takes the picture.

"Awesome! Mom's gonna love this! Thanks!" He says looking at the picture.

Grayson slowly opens his eyes and focuses them on the character.

"Eh!"

"Oh no.." James says seconds before Grayson bursts into tears.

"Crap! Come here, Gray." He takes him and walks back to where they were before.

"Shhh! Grayson, it's been ten minutes, you're fine!

Please stop crying!" He whines as he bounces him up and down.

Grayson doesn't stop, but seems to be getting louder and louder.

"Ah.. Mom?!" James looks around desperately wanting his mom.

***

"Oh thank God! Finally!!"

"What's wrong with my baby?"

"He won't stop crying!" James says on the verge of tears.

"Aw." Jessica takes him, then looks into James's eyes and places her palm softly on his cheek.

"Do you need a dipey?" She asks pulling on his little pants.

"No I checked that.

He was scared."

"Of what?"

James sighs and says, "I took him back to the mouse.."

"Why? His poor little heart! It's beating so fast!"
Jessica pouts rubbing Grayson's chest.

"I wanted this picture and he woke up right after." James shows her the picture and Jessica smiles.

"Awe! He's so cute! Thank you, James!"

"You're welcome.

But then he woke up and he's been crying for half an hour!"

"Oh no! Well mama's here, baby boy! Don't cry, mama's got you." Jessica holds him to her chest and bounces him as he calms down.

James watches and chuckles, then looks at Jessica with exhaustion.

"I need a nap!" He sighs making her laugh.

"My baby!" Jessica softly caresses her thumb on his cheek, then kisses it.

****

"Check out Mr. Beach Bum over here!" Jessica says bringing Grayson out in his swim trunks, tank top, little sandals, sunglasses and hat.

"Oh Gray, lookin' good man!" Sam says.

"Isn't he cute?!" Jessica smiles.

"Quite the lady killer! Just like your big brother, Sam!"

"Right!" James rolls his eyes.

"Alright, are you boys ready?" Jessica asks.

"Yep!"

"Okay, let's get out of here!"

They've been in Orlando for over a week, and it was their last day there before heading home.

At the beach the boys swam and walked around, leaving Jessica and Grayson alone.

"You're such a cutie!  Look at you sitting up all by yourself!  I can't believe how big you are already!"

The boys come back and Jessica says, "Look at him!  He's sitting up on his own!"

"Hey good job, bud!" James holds his hand out to high five him.

Grayson bounces up and down and hits his hands on his thighs.

"Heh!  Close enough!"

Jessica smiles and says, "I can't believe he's six months old already!  He's been here for half a year!  How is that possible?!"

"I know, it's gone by so fast!" Michael says.

"Yeah and I wish it'd slow down!  My boys are all so big!" She looks at them and pouts.

"Don't be sad!" James says.

"I'm sorry but I am!  It's already July in a few days and that means you'll leave me the month after!"

"Mom.." James looks at her with sad eyes.

"I know, I'm sorry! *Sighs* I just love my boys."

"We love you too, mom."

***

July 4th.

It was the forth of July and everyone went over to George's house for a barbecue. 

"Grayson, can I hold you or do you not like to leave your mommy's side?" Ann asks.

"You can hold him.  He might scream, but go ahead." Jessica chuckles and tries handing him to her.

Grayson tightens the grip on Jessica and she laughs.

"Grayson!  Let auntie Annie hold you!"

"You little stinker!" She pulls him away and Grayson makes the saddest little pout at Jessica.

"Mama's not leaving you, Gray!" Jessica smiles.

He reaches his hand to her and tears start falling down his red cheeks.

"He's crying.  Grayson, I'm right here!" She laughs.

"Grayson look at me!" Ann bounces him trying to make him smile.

Grayson bursts into tears and reaches for Jessica.

"Oh my lord!" Jessica takes him back and Grayson calms down.

"Aw he loves his mama!" Ann rubs his back.

Grayson catches his breath and looks into Jessica's eyes then smiles.

"Are you better now?" She laughs.

He lays on her shoulder and hits Jessica with his hands.

"This boy is too much!" She says laying on him.

***

A little later everyone sits outside and eats.

"So when do you boys leave for Oklahoma?"

"End of August..." James answers.

"It's so great that you two are gonna be together.  It should help with homesickness." Jane says.

"My mom won't be there.."

"Awe James!" Sarah touches her chest and makes a sad face.

"He's a mama's boy." Jessica pouts and rubs his back.

"But he'll be okay.  He has his brother with him and they have their daddy watching over them."

"That's right!" Dorothy nods.

"It'll probably be strange for you Jess, to only have two at home."

"I know!  Imagine if I hadn't had Gray!  It'd just be Mikey and I." She laughs.

"Heh!  That's funny!" Michael says.

"So back to OU, are you going to move them, Jess?" George asks.

"Yeah, I was actually gonna ask if you'd come with me."

"Of course! I wanna help out in any way I can."

"You've done so much already! Thank you, George."

"No problem! I'm happy to do it."

"I'm so excited!  I loved it when we went with dad." Sam says.

"Oh you guys went before?" Ann's husband asks.

"They went with Sam a couple years ago to check it out." Jessica answers.

"Oh nice!"

"Yeah, it was great!  I can't wait!"

***

A week later.

The boys were out and Jessica got Grayson ready to take to her mom's.

"I don't wanna leave him!" She cries.

"I know, but if you don't go back to work soon your brother will have a fit!"

"Yeah.. Grayson, I love you!" Jessica holds her palms on his cheeks.

She kisses his forehead and he smiles.

"Be good for grandma, okay?

Mom, call me if you need anything! If he gets fussy give him his binky. The blue one! That's his favorite.. He has to sleep with his blanky and little bunny rabbit.." Jessica says never taking her sad eyes off of Grayson.

"Mama loves you, baby!" She gives him another kiss.

"Bye bye." She waves.

Grayson starts fussing and Jessica stands there with a sad face.

"Aw.."

"Jessie you're gonna be late."

"I don't care.  I don't wanna go!" She picks him up.

"Aw sweetie!"

"I know.. I know I have to go.. Gray, mama will be home soon, okay?  Don't cry!  Muah!  I love you." She smiles and hands him to Dorothy.

Walking out to the sound of her crying baby boy was heartbreaking.

***

"Hey what's wrong?" George asks because Jessica's eyes were red and puffy.

"I miss my baby!"

"Aw Jess!" He hugs her.

"Surprise!  Welcome back!!" Her co workers say loudly.

"What's wrong?!" One woman asks.

"I miss Grayson!"

"Aw!  I'm sorry!"

"Thanks.. *Sighs* It's good to see you guys though!" Jessica says with a smile.

"I know!  It's been forever!  We didn't think you'd ever come back." One girl laughs.

"Me either!" George says.

"Hah!  Yep, I'm back!" Jessica smiles.

***

Jessica called Dorothy multiple times that day to check on Grayson, then went to see him during her lunch break.

"Hi baby boy!!" Jessica ran to him as soon as she got to her parents house.

Grayson made the cutest baby noises as he bounced up and down when he saw Jessica.

"Hi!  Did you miss mama?!" She kisses his cheek.

"I think you did, sweet boy!

How was he, mom?"

"Well when he stopped crying we watched Barney and everything was fine.  I gave him his bottle, which he did not like by the way!"

"Oh no, are you hungry?!" Jessica says unbuttoning her blouse.

Grayson smiles and kicks his legs.

"Heh!  Yeah my little happy feet!  You're so excited now, aren't you?"

"Look at how spoiled he is, he gets boobs on demand!" Dorothy giggles.

"That's right, because he's my little man!" Jessica smiles and tickles his little cheek.

Jessica starts feeding him and goes over to the table and sits down.

Dorothy sits a plate of food down and Jessica eats.

Dorothy laughed at the sight of her daughter nursing her son at the table and joked, "This must bring back a lot of memories of freshman year of high school."

Jessica rolls her eyes and softly pats the baby.

"I'm just messing with you! It's nice seeing you with a baby again."

She gives her mother a soft smile and looks down at the Grayson.

"I'm really enjoying it. I'm able to enjoy it more than with my first three because of the time of life I had him. Obviously I enjoyed all of my babies, but I mean that the stress level is different."

"I understand. It was hard with the boys, but you did it!"

"I couldn't have done it without Sam. He really did help out so much.."

"I know, he was the best."

Jessica's eyes become teary, so she takes a deep breath and looks down to the baby.

"Hey cutie..

Mommy doesn't wanna leave you again! The girls at the office would love to see you.. and uncle George wouldn't mind, why don't you come with me?" She smiles.

"Are you sure, Jess?" Dorothy asks.

"Yes! Oh this is gonna be so much fun! It's bring your baby to work day." She laughs.

***

"Hey guys I'm back and I brought a friend!" Jessica says holding the carrier.

"Oh it's Grayson!" Everyone freaks out and runs over.

Jessica takes him out and everyone Awe's.

"Can I hold him?!"

"Of course!" Jessica takes him out and hands him over.

Grayson was loving all the attention he was getting, until he caught a glimpse of Jessica.

"Ah!" He breathes heavy and reaches for her.

"What?! You were fine!" She smiles.

He whines and gets even more upset.

"You want your mama, don't you, baby boy?" Her co worker says.

"You always want mama! You're such a cutie!" Jessica says taking him from the girl.

***

A week later.

Jessica's mother in law was out of town visiting her son and his family, and Dorothy and Albert had something to do.

Jessica had to work, and she couldn't bring Grayson there for a whole day, but she didn't know where to leave him.

Jessica stood in the living room bouncing him nervously.

I don't know what to do!"

"Just leave him with us, mom." Sam says.

Jessica looks at him and laughs.

"Are you kidding?"

"What?  No!  We can do it!  We help you out all the time."

"Yeah, Help Out!  You guys are great with him, but I can't leave him with you all day!

"Why not?  Mom, I'm offended." James says.

"Aw don't be, baby!  I just.. Well it's not that I don't trust you, It's just.. I don't know, I'll too be worried."

"Mom, there are three of us, I think we'll be okay."

".. I don't know!" She sighs.

"Who else are you gonna leave him with?  Everyone is either working or on vacation."

"...Fine! *Sighs* But please be carful with him!  He's still little and fragile."

"We know mom."

"He doesn't like to bottle feed, but he needs to eat!  I'll try to come back at lunch to nurse him, if he gets fussy just give him his binky.  I haven't given him any solid foods yet, so do not try it while I'm gone!  If you need anything call me, do you understand?!"

"Yes ma'am."

"Okay.  Don't let him sit in a wet diaper, change him right away so he doesn't get a rash.  I have a baby wipe warmer in his nursery so that his little tushy doesn't get cold.  Warm up his bottle, but don't burn him.  Just enough so that the nipple feels like mine."

Sam makes a face and nods his head.

"If that makes you queasy, Samuel then this is never gonna work."

James laughs and Jessica continues.

"When you put him down for a nap, don't leave him in the room by himself, he gets lonely!  Either sit beside him, or lay down with him.  Laying with him works best because he likes to cuddle.  If you're just sitting with him he'll keep talking and laughing.  Are you boys following what I'm saying?"

"Yes." They all answer sounding slightly annoyed.

"I need you to listen!  This is important!"

"We are listening!"

"What did I say?"

"Warm up your nipples, now hand me the baby and get to work." James says taking him from Jessica.

"No!" She snatches him back and kisses him.

"Be a good boy for your brothers, okay?  Mama will see you soon." She kisses him again and hands him to James.

"Help each other out, don't just leave it all on your brothers.. Sam." She looks over as he lays back on the couch watching tv.

"I've got it, mom!  I'm doing nap time." He smiles.

"Samuel."

"I'll help!"

"Thank you... Please call me and let me know how it's going!"

"We will." James answers.

"Thanks.  Love you, boys!"

"Love you too.  Have a good day at work."

***

Before Jessica even gets out of the car at her job, she calls the boys.

"Hello?" Sam answers.

"Is he okay?!"

"I'll check, he's sitting at the top of the stairs right now."

"Samuel!"

*Laughs* "He's fine, mom!  We're all in the living room watching a movie."

"Nothing too violent, I don't want him having bad dreams!"

"Is Saw three okay?"

"Sam!"

"Jesus mom, have sense of humor, dammit!"

"No cussing!"

"Can you go to work now?"

"Just please be carful!  After you three he's my only valuable thing I have!"

"We'll be carful."

"Okay.  Love you."

"Love you too.  Bye.

.. Alright she's gone, turn the music on and get the booze out!" Sam says right before hanging up.

"Ugh!! Samuel!" She yells.

George see's her in her car talking to herself, so he walks over.

"You okay?"

"No!"

"What happened?"

"I left Grayson with the boys."

"Heh ha!  Why?"

"There's no one else to watch him, George!" She whines.

"Well the boys are good with him, I'm sure he'll be fine."

"I'm sure they will, but freaking Samuel is making me nervous!"

"What did he do?"

"He keeps joking around, saying that Grayson's at the top of the stairs, and that they're watching scary movies and throwing a party."

"You don't really think Grayson's boozing it up, do you?" George laughs.

"No.." She rolls her eyes.

"I know they're fine!  I trust them.."

George looks at her, "I do!  I just.. *Sighs* I get anxiety about everything now!  I've always had it, but Sam helped me through it.. A lot....

And when he passed.. There was no one there that really knows how horrible I actually used to have it.  There's no one to help me control it the way Sam did.  Now since Grayson's been here, I've just been getting worse. 

I am worried twenty four seven that something is going to happen.  It's the worst feeling ever."

"Jess, I'm sorry that you have to go through that.  I'm here for you.  Even if it's just to talk."

"I know.. Thank you." She smiles softly.

***

"What's wrong with him?!" Michael asks in a panic.

"I don't know, he's demented!" Sam says.

"I think.. I think he needs a diaper change." James says with a his nose scrunched.

"We knew this was coming, you guys, now come on!  Lay him on the table!" Sam points.

They lay him down and open his diaper.

"Holy shit!" Sam's eyes widen.

James gags and Michael stand there in shock.

"I want mom!"

"I do too.." Sam says in a sad voice.

***

"Come on Gray, drink the milk!  Drink the fucking milk!" James says after ten minutes of Grayson screaming and pushing the bottle way.

"You have to eat!  Now come on!"

His face was beat red from screaming so much.

"I'm never having kids." Sam says.

"How long till mom gets back?" Michael asks.

"It not even noon!" James answers with fear in his eyes.

"Uh oh.." He freezes.

"What?"

"I think he's doing it again."

"Again?!  What the hell is in mom's milk?!" Sam says.

***

"Why won't he nap?" Michael whines.

"Well mom said he likes for you to lay with him." James says laying beside him and Sam lays on the other side.

Grayson sits up and giggles with his binky in his mouth.

He starts hitting James's face with his hands and bounces up and down.

"This isn't working." James mumbles as he hears Sam start to snore.

He rolls his eyes and reaches over to push him off the bed.

***

Grayson's nap only lasted a little while.  He woke is brothers up by screaming on the top of his lungs.

Around 4:30 is when he finally started to calm down and become tired.

"I can't do this anymore.  Where's mom?" Michael asks.

"Hopefully she's on her way.."

This little guy is the best form of birth control ever!" Sam says as he looks down and Grayson on his chest.

***

Jessica was overwhelmed with things at work at wasn't able to go home during lunch.

They ordered food in and stayed at the office till a little after 5:00.

When she was finally home, she sat her purse down and took a deep breath.

"Hey.." She says softly.

The boys were all laid out and everyone was asleep except for Sam, who was almost there.

"Rough day?" She smiles.

"Oh God yes."

"Babies aren't easy, huh?"

"Not at all. *Yawns* How was your day?"

"Long!"

"We made you dinner."

"Aw you boys didn't have to do that!  Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome." Sam says with heavy lids.

Jessica chuckles and walks over and kisses his head.

Grayson was on his chest and he started waking up.

"Oh God, please don't!  Please don't!"

Jessica laughs and says, "Here, I'll take him.  You get some rest."

"Thanks."

Jessica smiles at him and walked to the kitchen.

"Hi buddy!  How are you?  Did you miss mama today?  I missed you!"

He smiles and kicks his legs on her, making her laugh.

"Did you have fun with your big brothers?  Are you doing your job at keeping them away from sex?" She smiles and kisses his cheek.

Grayson smiles and baby talks.

"Oh you are?!  Well good job!" Jessica giggles.
