December 20th.

"Boys, are you ready?" Jessica asks standing downstairs with the diaper bag, Grayson in his car seat and a gift for Sarah's youngest daughter, Rylie.

"I'm coming!" Sam shouts.

They all come down and Jessica says, "Jesus Christ, what were you doing? I got myself ready and the baby ready. I fed him and wrapped the gift. I changed his diaper and changed his clothes after he spit up on them, and I Evan had time to do my hair and makeup. What takes you boys so long?"

"Perfection, mom. The answer is perfect." Samuel says.

Jessica rolls her eyes and opens the front door.

"Go!" She points outside.

***

"Here mom, let me take the car seat, it's heavy."

"Thanks James." Jessica smiles and hands him the baby.

They walk into Sarah and Evan's house, and Jessica quickly takes Rylie from her.

"Hello baby girl! Happy Birthday! I can't believe you're already one year old! Seems like just yesterday we were at the hospital waiting hours for you to arrive."

"Right?" Sarah chuckles.

***

One year earlier.

"Jess, I don't think she's ever coming out! I've been at three centimeters for hours!"

"Awe sweetie, she's coming! You're doing great!" Jessica rubs Sarah's arm.

Jessica went out to the waiting room to sit with Sam.

"How is she?"

"The same, poor thing."

She sat right beside him and he wrapped his arm around her.

Jessica laid on his chest and he kissed her head.

"Remember when we were in her and Evan's spot?"

"Mhm!" She smiles and nods.

"Seems like it was just yesterday."

"I know.. And now our boys are almost grown.

Samuel and James are going to be seniors next year, and our little Mikey is going to be in high school! Oh gosh, I wish time would slow down."

"I know.

Soon it'll just be you and I."

Jessica looks up at Sam and smiles.

He kisses her head and says, "We had our kids so early in life, once they're out of the house, we'll have years just the two of us.

Traveling everywhere!  To New York, LA....Paris!"

"Paris!" Her eyes light up.

"Of course! We have so many years to travel, baby. Aren't you excited?"

"I can't wait!" She smiles and he kisses her lips.

***

Jessica looked into space and sighed.

"You okay?" Sarah asks.

"Yeah.. Yeah, I'm fine.  Just thinking about when this little nugget was born!" She smiles at Rylie.

"Jess.. I know that face.  Are you sure you're okay?"

"Sarah, I'm fine!" Jessica brushes it off and looks down to check on the baby.

"Hey buddy!" Sarah gets down to talk to him.

"He's getting so big!  Look at those rolls!"

"I know!  My due date was two days ago, and I was thinking of what it would be like if he hadn't come early." She chuckles.

"Oh yeah!  You're lucky he came when he did!"

"Definitely!"

***

"Hey Kenna!  How's my favorite girl doing?"

"Good!  Jessie, when can I stay at your house again?"

"Whenever your mom says it's okay."

*Gasp* "Tonight, mom?!" McKenna looks at Sarah with big eyes.

"Not tonight.  Jessie has a new baby at home, and she's really busy with him.  Maybe once he's older you can stay the night."

"Awe man!" McKenna crosses her arms and pouts.

"Don't be sad!  Hey, how about you stay with me tomorrow during the day?  The boys are on Christmas break, so they're out with their friends and girlfriend all the time, so it's just Grays and I.  It gets a little lonely.  Plus you could help me with the baby."

"I could help you with the baby!  Oh mommy, please let me go!" She begs Sarah.

"If Jessie's okay with it, than that's fine."

"Yay!" McKenna hugs Jessica.

"Awe you're such a sweetheart!" She giggles.

***

The next day.

"You hold him so well!" Jessica smiles as McKenna holds Grayson, with Jessica only supporting his butt.

"Thank you!  I'm a big sister, so I know these things!  My mommy said you have to support the head."

"Your mommy is right!" Jessica smiles.

Grayson gets fussy, so Jessica takes him.

"Oh what's the matter baby boy?"

"What's wrong with him, aunt Jessie?"

"I think he's just hungry."

"Can I feed him?"

"No, I'm afraid I'm the only one that can." She chuckles.

"Oh do you boobie feed him?"

"Yes." Jessica laughs.

"Yeah, I can't do that!  I don't have those!"

"Hah!  That's okay, I've got it!

Why don't you pick out a Christmas movie we can watch together?"

"Okay!"

***

"This one!  This one!  This one!" McKenna runs over to Jessica with a dvd in her hand.

"Oh Eloise at the plaza!  My favorite!"

"Mine too!  And guess what?  We're both six!  Even though I'm almost seven!"

"Wow!  You're almost as old as I am!"

"I know!"

Jessica chuckles and gets up to turn the movie on.

After Grayson ate, Jessica burped him and he quickly feel asleep.

"He likes to sleep, doesn't he?"

"He does!" Jessica giggles.

The movie starts and Jessica leans back on the couch with Grayson asleep in her arms and McKenna resting on her side.

"Jessie.."

"Yes baby?"

"I miss uncle Sam."

"Me too, Princess."

"We watched this last year and he made me cinnamon rolls and hot coco, remember?"

"I do.." Jessica rubs her leg.

"Do you think he ever thinks of me?"

"I know he does.  He loves you.. You've always been like a daughter to uncle Sam and I."

McKenna looks up and smiles softly at Jessica.

"Aunt Jessie... Will uncle Sam know Grayson?"

"He does know him, baby."

"Will Grayson know Uncle Sam?"

"I'll make sure of it!" She smiles softly and taps her nose lightly.

"I will too!" McKenna says with a smile.
