Mommy's so pretty

"We're home!"

"Hey!  How was your appointment?"Tiffany asks.

"I saw mommy's vagina."

"Yuck!" Sam makes a face.

"Yeah, I know." Grayson nods.

Jessica rolls her eyes and says, "The baby is doing well!  I'm not dilated any though, so it looks like for now she's staying put." Jessica places her hand on the side of her stomach.

"Aw man, really?"

"Yeah.. Plus she's really high.  I have a feeling I'll definitely go over my due date."

"She's just not ready, huh?"

"Nope." Jessica nods.

"But I am!" She chuckles.

"I bet!  Well you look beautiful." Tiffany smiles.

"Thanks, sweets."

**

"Say Happy Birthday, Daddy!" Jessica says in a cute voice as Danny sits beside her in bed with his hands on her stomach.

Jessica's shirt was up under her breasts so they could see the pitter patter of little feet.

"Woah!  That was a big birthday kick!" Danny chuckles and kisses her belly.

"She's so big now!  And such a crazy little thing!"

"I know, she's very active.  Man, I want her here!"

"Yeah, me too!"

"Heh!  I'm sure you're more than ready!"

"Oh yeah!" Jessica nods.

"Come out, baby girl!"

"Quickly too!  Don't make this an all day affair like your brother."

"Yeah, please don't do that.  We want to make this nice and easy on mama.  Jess, you still won't get an epidural?"

"I never have.  I'm not planning on getting one with her."

"I just don't want to see you in pain.  I'm really not looking forward to it."

"Well I'm not either." She chuckles.

"Why don't you get them?"

"I always felt it was healthier to go natural.  Plus it makes you feel like a real badass." She smiles.

"I'm so nervous.  Even though this ain't my first time, it kinda is.  Camille didn't go through labor.  It was a scheduled c-section.  Not that that isn't a hard thing to go through, but this is something totally different!  Something I've never done before."

"Well I hope not, sweet boy!" Jessica laughs and pats his arm.

"Come on, Jess.  You know what I mean."

"I know.. I appreciate you being so worried about me, but I've done it before and I've survived.  I'll be okay." She smiles.

"You are so incredible, do you know that?"

"A little bit."

Danny laughs and kisses her lips.

***

It was Sunday morning after church. Everyone was coming over to Jessica and Danny's house, and the guys were going to work on getting Nova's nursery ready.

Dorothy, Jane and Jessica's sisters cooked a delicious meal. Jessica wanted to help, but they told her to sit down and relax.

Sarah, Evan, and their kids were also there.

"I cannot believe that in one month, this little guy will be one!  One year old, Asher!  That's crazy!"

Asher giggles and chews on his hand.
Jessica smiles and kisses his head.

"Look at how he keeps looking at your belly." Sarah chuckles.

"It's really big, isn't it, Ash?"

"Do you wanna feel the baby, Asher?  Use gentle hands, okay?" Sarah says placing her hand on Jessica's belly.

Asher follows what his mother is doing, and touches Jessica's stomach.

"Awe, look at that smile!  Sarah, I think he wants a little brother or sister!"

"Well it's not happening!"

Jessica laughs and looks down.

"Sarah, I want to thank you again for your offer.. That was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.  The fact that you'd actually carry my child.. That's so amazing.  Thank you."

"Oh don't thank me!  I would do it in a heartbeat, Jess!  But I'm so happy things worked out and you're having your baby girl!"

"Me too!  Sarah, I love her so much already.  I worked so hard for her.. But she's so worth it.  She's the beautiful light at the end of a dark tunnel."

Sarah smiles and hugs her.

"I love you, sis."

"I love you too."

"And I love you too!!" McKenna runs over and hugs them both.

"Heh!  My Kenna!  Gosh, why are you so big now!"

"I know!  My baby girl is twelve!  Jess, that's a year younger than Michael when Sam passed!"

"I know!" Jessica nods.

"They grow up way too fast.  My little Grayson is almost the age McKenna was when he was born!  Riley is the age McKenna was!"

"Why do our babies have to grow up?" Sarah pouts.

"I don't know!" Jessica cries.

"Jessie, don't cry!" McKenna pouts.

"Honey, I cry all the time now." Jessica chuckles.

"Well you're too pretty to cry!" She wipes Jessica's cheeks.

Jessica smiles and says, "I said that to you when you-"

"I was five years old.  I was with you and Uncle Sam while mommy and daddy had a date night before Riley was born.  I don't remember why I was crying, but I remember you told me that I was too cute to cry.. Well, so are you!"

"I love you, baby girl!" Jessica gives her a tight hug.

"I love you more, Jessie!"

McKenna giggles and looks down.

"Sorry, she's a little feisty!" Jessica laughs.

"She's adorable!  I can't wait to hold her!"

"She's gonna love you, Kenna." Jessica smiles and taps her nose.

**

"All this yummy food!  Thank you all for cooking!"

"It's no problem, baby!" Dorothy smiles.

"Mommy, can I have some more peas?"

"You want more peas?  Are you my son?" Jessica laughs.

"Yeah!  I came out of your-"

With a smile, Jessica sticks a spoon of peas in Grayson's mouth to stop him from talking.

"I know you're my baby boy!  Just eat your peas, son." She pats his back and kisses his head.

"Mmm.. Good peas." He smiles, nods his head, and closes his eyes.

**

"My little guy just wanted some grandma time!  Yes he did!" Jessica baby talks Samuel.

"I cannot believe you're a grandmother!" Sarah laughs.

"I know!  Oh Sarah, I just love it so much!  I love him SO much!"

"Well what's not to love about this cutie?"

Jessica smiles down to the baby and gives him a kiss.

"Jessie, can I hold him, please?"

"Ask his mother too, McKenna." Sarah says.

"May I hold him, please?" She smiles.

"Of course you can!" Tiffany answers.

"Here you go, sweet girl." Jessica hands him over to her.

"Oh he's so cute!  Baby Samuel Shepard! You are the sweetest little thing!"

"You're good with him Kenna." Jessica smiles.

"Thank you. I love babies! I hope one day I'm as good as a mom and you two." McKenna smiles at Jessica and Sarah.

"Awe, that's so sweet!" They both say.

McKenna giggles at their reaction and looks back down to the baby.

**

"How are you girls doing up here?" Jessica waddles into Nova's room.

"We're doing great!  What do you think so far?"

"I love it! You guys have done a lot already!"

"Yeah, we're almost ready to start on the little details."

"Look at you being all cute!" Jessica smiles and hugs Danny.

He chuckles and kisses the top of her head.

"I can't wait to see her in here."

"Me either! Thank you for doing this, Danny." Jessica looks up to him with a smile.

"Of course! Besides, if you can make the baby, the least I can do is paint a few pink walls!" He chuckles.

"Well that's a tough job too!" Jessica smiles.

Danny chuckles and kisses her lips.
Jessica pulls away and turns to the rest of the guys.

"Thank you all! Nova and I really appreciate it." Jessica smiles and places her hand on her belly.

"It's no problem, my pretty girl!" Albert says giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, daddy!"

"How are you feeling today?"

"Good! Being with family always makes me happy!" Jessica smiles.

***

A few days later Jessica was going to be taking maternity pictures. She had all of the boys come up for a few family pictures as well.

"I feel like I look really huge and my face is swollen."

"Jessie, you look great! Now come on before I lose the light." Jane says.

"Thank you for doing this, Jane. You've taken all of my maternity pictures with the boys, and now you're taking them.. With my little girl!" Jessica starts crying.

"No, no, no! Don't cry, Jess!" Jane walks over and lightly pats her cheeks with a tissue.

"It's my pleasure! I love doing this for you! You look beautiful, so stop crying, so we can do this!"

"Okay, I'm sorry!" Jessica chuckles.

**

"My mommy is soooo pretty!" Grayson smiles.

"Awe, thank you, Grayson!"

"You're welcome!  Is it my turn to be in the picture?"

"Yeah!  Then we're gonna do one with each of your brother's!  It'll be the last picture where I'm the only girl in the family."

"Yeah cause now it's you and Nova!"

"Yep!  I won't be the odd man out anymore."

"You mean odd lady!"

"Yes, Grayson." Jessica laughs.

**

"Okay but wait!  Fred needs to be in one too!  He's in the family!"

"Okay, go get him!" Jessica tells Grayson.

"Come on, Fred!  You have to be in the picture with the family!  Touch mommy's belly, like this!" Grayson holds Fred's paw on her stomach.

Jessica laughs and Jane takes their picture.

Once Jane had taken some of just Jessica by herself, some with Danny, and some of the whole family, Jessica was starving!  They went out to eat at a nearby restaurant, then headed home.

"Okay, Grayson!  Bath time."

"You want me to do that, baby?" Danny asks.

"No, it's okay.  Thanks though." Jessica smiles softly.

"Splash Splash Mommy!" Grayson giggles splashing his mother.

"No sir!"

"But it's fun!" He pouts.

"Not as fun as..THIS!" Jessica splashes him.

"Ahh!  You got me, mommy!" Grayson laughs.

After bath time, Jessica tucked Grayson into bed.

"I love you, Gray."

"I love you more, mommy...
Momma?"

"Yes, baby?"

"You said your love will grow when Nova gets here.."

"That's right!" Jessica smiles.

"So you'll still love me even though I won't be the baby anymore?"

"Honey, you'll always be my baby, and I'll always love you.  I'll never ever stop loving you." She nods.

"I'll never stop love you either, mommy." Grayson smiles.

"Good!" Jessica smiles and crinkles her nose before placing a soft kiss on his cheek.


***


39 weeks.

"Thirty nine weeks and still no baby!  I am hot, I'm uncomfortable, I'm huge!  And this little girl has STILL not dropped!"

"Good morning to you too, mommy." Sam smiles.

"Get away from me, Samuel."

"Hey!" He pouts.

"Grandma is miss cranky pants today!" He baby talks.

"No, grandma is nine months pregnant and daddy is being annoying!"

"Grandma is nine months pregnant just sounds so wrong!" James laughs.

"Why are you here?  Didn't you move?" Jessica gives him a look.

"Danny said he made crepes."

"Did you eat them all?"

"No."

"Daniel!  Where's my crepes!!"

"Mommy, calm down!"

"Grayson.. My sweet baby boy. *Smiles* Did you just tell mommy to calm down?"

"Mhm!" He nods.

"Well stop it!"

Grayson backs away and Danny says, "It's okay, baby.  Here you go, how about you sit on the recliner so you're comfortable?"

"No because then I can't get up." 

"I'll help you."

"You're just sticking me there because no one wants to sit with me." Jessica looks down with a sad expression.

"Awe honey, I was gonna sit with you!  We just want you to be comfortable!"

"Yeah, Jess, we'll all go sit in the living room with you." Caroline says.

"It's okay.. I know I'm difficult to deal with.. I'm not fun to be around, and I'm sorry."

"No mom, don't be sorry!  We understand you're uncomfortable and that it's difficult to control your emotions right now.  We still love you." Sam smiles.

"Say, we still love you, grandma!" Sam says in a baby voice as he moves Samuels hand like he's the one talking.

Jessica smiles and James hugs her.

"Don't cry, mom."

*Sniffles* "I can't really help it." She chuckles.

James wipes her cheeks and gives her a kiss.

"Come on, everyone!  Let's go have a party in the living room!"

"Yay!  A party!!" Grayson shouts.

Jessica sits down and places her plate on her big round belly.

"Mommy?"

"Yes, baby?"

"Are you mad at me?"

"No, honey!  Come here." Jessica pats the couch.

Grayson sits down and Jessica pulls him close.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry if I made you think I was mad.  Mommy is just feeling very.. Just not her best, and I'm sorry.  I'm not mad at you, and I never have been.  You're my baby boy, and I could never ever be upset with you."

Grayson smiles and wraps his arm around the front of her belly, and hugs her.

"I love you, mommy."

"I love you more, baby."

**

A little later Jessica was watching tv, and Tiffany sat beside her.

"Jessica, I don't know if I can do it anymore!"

"What sweetie?"

"Breastfeed!  It hurts so bad!"

"Oh honey, I'm sorry.  I know it's really painful in the beginning.  It will get better though."

"It looks really bad, mom.  I saw it." Sam says.

"What does it look like?"

Tiffany looked around and pulled at her top to show Jessica.

"Ooh honey, that's infected!"

"Well what do I do?  He needs to eat!" She says on the verge of tears.

"You probably have Mastitis.  It's okay to breastfeed while you have it, it can actually help you, but I'd go to the doctor first."

"Yeah.. Thank you.
Sam, could you please run to the store and buy some formula?"

"Sure."

"Thank you.  I think this little guy is getting hungry, so don't shop around, okay?"

"I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Bring me some Twinkies, baby.  Oh and nipple cream, please!" Jessica asks.

"Oh God." Sam closes his eyes and makes a sick face.

"Just go!" Jessica raises her voice.

**

"Alright, I'm back.  Here's the formula, and mom, here are your Twinkies and.. Your nipple cream." He shivers.

"Thanks baby.  I owe you!"

"Yes you do."

Jessica chuckles and yells, "DANNY!"

"Jesus, mom!" Sam says because Jessica was so loud.

"I'm sorry!"

"You called, baby?"

"Yes.  Can you help me up?" Jessica lifts her hand.

"Mom, why did you call him for that?  I could've helped you up."

"It's okay, Sam." Danny smiles.

"Babe, wanna help me upstairs?  Samuel bought me that cream I needed and I-"

"I'll put it on." Danny smirks.

"No, I was asking-"

"No need to ask, I will gladly do it!"

"You're not listening to me!" Jessica laughs.

"Babe, let's just go upstairs and get you taken care of." Danny winks.

"Oh God, my lunch is gonna come up!  Stop this nonsense!" Samuel says.

Jessica laughs and taps Danny's arm.

"Let's go, baby."

**

*Knock knock*

"Um.. Just a second." Danny answers.

The sound of a screaming baby came from behind the locked door.

"Do they not know I am in the middle of something?" Danny mumbles into Jessica's neck.

She giggles and taps his arm.

"Come on, they probably need help with the baby."

"But we're in the middle of sex!  In the middle of the day!  Mid day sex is always the best!"

"Just get out of me!" Jessica grinds her teeth.

*Knock knock*

"Just a second!" Jessica tries to sound as normal as possible.

Danny puts his boxers and his tshirt on.  Jessica grabs her robe and ties it just before Danny opens the door.

"I'm sorry if I interrupted anything!  Jessica, he won't take the formula, what do I do?"

"Call your doctor and ask if it's okay if you nurse him.  I say yes, because I had that when the twins were newborns, but just make sure." Jessica says taking the baby from her to help calm him down.

"Okay, I'll call him.  Thank you!"

Sam walks in and sees Danny and Jessica's messy hair, and their clothes thrown on the ground.

"Oh my gosh!  It's the middle of the day, you two!"

"I know!" Danny looks at Jessica, and she rolls her eyes.

"Sam, cut it out!" Jessica says.

"Fine.. Mom, this boy doesn't stop crying!" Sam whines and throws himself on the bed as he realizes what he's doing.

"Ahh!  What the hell am I doing?!" Sam kicks his legs and quickly stands up.

Danny laughs and Jessica rolls her eyes.

"Samuel, he's just hungry!"

"He won't eat!  That formula wasn't cheap, mom!"

"It's not what he's used to, Samuel.  Calm down!"

Tiffany walks back in after getting off the phone with her doctor, and the baby is still screaming.

"He said I can still nurse him, and that it sounds like I have Mastitis."

"I was right!" Jessica smiles.

"Yeah! *Chuckles* I'm gonna have to go in on Monday for some antibiotics.  Also he said the baby might not want to nurse because the nipple is harder from being irritated."

Danny makes a face and walks out of the room.

"That's how James was.  Samuel didn't care what my nipple felt like, he was going to eat!"

"Oh please stop." Sam closes his eyes and holds his head.

Jessica rolls her eyes and hands the baby to Tiffany.

"Try feeding him and see what happens.  I know it's painful, but this boy needs to eat."

"Yeah.. Thank you, for your help."

"No problem, sweetie."

Sam and Tiffany walk to their room and Sam says, "Do you realize you interrupted those two having sex?"

"I did?!  Awe, that's sweet that they were doing it at this time!  He really loves her, Sam."

"Shut up!" Sam makes a face and covers his ears.


***
This chapter was messy, but I wanted to update as soon as possible! 

Nova is almost here!  I'm still trying to decide on when and where it'll happen.  I was thinking Jessica would go past her due date, but y'all let me know what you think.  :)
