"Danny, this ring!  It's so beautiful!"

"I'm glad you like it.  I wanted it to be perfect."

"Oh Daniel, it IS perfect!"

"Good!"

"What dat mommy?" Grayson grabs her hand and looks at the ring.

"Daddy bought me this ring! We're gonna get married!"

Grayson laughs and Danny says, "Gray! Mommy finally got her prize!"

"Mommy got her pwize! Mommy got her pwize!" He jumps up and down.

"Yeah!"

"What?" Jessica laughs.

"Gray and I went ring shopping a few weeks ago and I told him that I was looking for mommy's surprise. Little man has kept this big secret, isn't that great? There was one little slip, but daddy Danny fixed it, didn't he, Gray?"

Grayson smiles and nods.

Jessica giggles and says, "Well good job, Gray!" She gives him a high five.

**

"Grayson, you know it's gonna hurt to take those bows off your face, right?"

"No hurt, mommy." He smiles.

"You shouldn't have stuck them everywhere, silly boy!"

Grayson laughs and yanks one off his face.

"Ahh!" He bursts into tears.

"Oh Grayson! Baby, don't pull it off like that!"

"Mommy I scared!" He says in a cute but terrified voice.

"Oh sweetie! *Chuckles* Mommy will help you."

***

"Look at his poor little face! No more Christmas bows for you, Grayson!" Jessica grabs his cheeks and kisses him.

He pouts and Jessica looks at the clock.

"I guess we better start showers and getting this place ready for family to come over."

Danny helps her up and the boys give her a hug.

"Congratulations, mom. *Smiles* We're all really happy for you." James smiles.

"Awe! My boys!" Jessica tears up and hugs them.

"Danny's a great man. I'm happy you met him." Sam says.

Jessica looks at Danny with a soft smile.

"Me too."

Danny smiles and Zachary walks up to Jessica and hugs her.

"Congratulations! I'm so happy!"

"Awe sweetie! I'm glad! I'm really excited about this next step.  Not just for your father and I, but for all of us as a family." Jessica says looking around at all the boys.

***

Danny goes to get in the shower, and Jessica follows him so that they can sneak in a few minutes alone.

Jessica smiles and wraps her arms around him.

"We're getting married!"

"I'm so happy, Princess!
You.  You make me so happy."

Jessica smiles and her eyes become teary.

Jessica speaks in a low and shaky voice.

"You Daniel Huston.. Have changed my world."

***

All of Jessica's family started to arrive, and she couldn't wait to announce her's and Danny's engagement.

"Gamma, mommy's pwize!" Grayson smiles and points to Jessica.

"Yes you are my prize, Grayson!" Jessica kisses him, then stands up and whispers to Danny.

"Hey, you've used that before! Grayson, you little tattletale!" She giggles.

"Yeah, I know!" He laughs and places his hand on her back.

Danny kisses the top of her head and Jessica looks up at him.

"Everyone's here! You wanna tell them before Grayson does?"

"Sure!" He laughs.

"Where's the ring?"

"In my pocket. Why don't you reach your hand in there and get it?" Danny smirks.

"Stop it! *Laughs* Just give it to me!" She holds her hand out.

Danny pulls her to the corner and holds her hand.

"I love you so so much.." He says slowly sliding the ring on her finger.

Jessica smiles down to the ring, then looks into his eyes.

"I love you too."

Danny leans in and they share a soft passionate kiss.

They hear a gasp and break apart.

"George!"

"You did it?! You asked her?! It happened today?!"

"It happened today." Danny smiles.

"Ah man! Congratulations you guys!" He walks over and hugs them both.

"Thank you! We were about to tell everyone right now."

"This is so exciting! I knew before all of them, I win!"

Jessica laughs and rolls her eyes.

"Well go tell them!" George lightly pushes them.

Jessica and Danny walk into the living room holding hands.

"Hey everyone, Danny and I have an announcement to make." Jessica smiles.

"You're pregnant!" Ann says.

"No!" She laughs.

"Boys, come stand with us." Jessica smiles at the kids.

She looks at Danny and he nods.

"So um.. *Smiles big* Danny asked me to marry him... And I said yes!" She lifts her hand up and giggles.

Everyone screams and runs over to them.

"Oh Jessie, my baby!
I'm so happy for you!!"

"Thanks mom!
Oh and Danny asked daddy, my boys and George for my hand in marriage! I just want you to know how respectful he is." Jessica smiles.

"Awe! Daniel, that is so sweet. Thank you!" Dorothy hugs him, then pauses.

"Wait! Albert! You knew?!"

"Of course I did!! For a while! It was a surprise and I couldn't tell you!"

"I can't believe you didn't tell me!"

"Oh you'll get over it!" Albert brushes her off.

Jessica laughs and Jane runs up and squeezes her.

"I'm so happy for you!! We need to start planning this wedding! It's going to be beautiful!"

"Heh! Ann, we just got engaged! Cool it down a little."

"I'm just so happy!" She jumps up and down.

***

"Well another Christmas in the books, huh?
I say this one was a pretty successful one. Happy kids, happy family.. Happy soon to be wife." Danny smiles and takes her hand.

"Mmm! I can't wait to be your wife, Mr. Huston."

"We either, little missy."

Danny places his hands on her lower back and softly brushes the tip of his nose in hers.

Jessica gently kisses his lips and grabs his arms in a firm hold.

"Jessie?"

Jessica quickly pulls away and looks to the side.

"Yes baby?"

"I'm sorry if I'm interrupting-"

"You are, now go." Danny says.

"Daniel, stop it! What did you want, Zachary?" She smiles.

"Could I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure!"

She and Zach go into the other room and Zach hands her a card.

"Awe sweetie." She smiles and opens it.

Dear Jessie,
  First of all, Merry Christmas!  Second, thank you for saying yes to my dad.  I have never in my whole life seen him as happy as he is with you.  You completely changed him for the better.  He has always been a great father, and I cannot wait until I see him become a great husband.  You two deserve each other more than anything.  Seeing the love you guys have for each other, makes me so happy.  Growing up it was mostly just my dad and I, so to be welcomed into this huge family has been so awesome!  The boys are my best friends.  There's no one I'd rather have as brothers. 
  And you Jessie.  You have made me feel so loved.  I don't remember what it's like to have a woman (Besides my aunt) care for me, and love me.  Thank you so much for treating me as one of your own.  You're so sweet and fun to be around!  I am beyond happy that my dad chose you to spend the rest of his life with.  Here's to many many years of family.

Love always, Zachary.

Jessica had tears rolling down her cheeks.
She sits the card to the side and hugs him tightly.

"Oh Zach... Thank you.  This is so sweet.
It means so much to me that you feel this way.  I love you, and I'm so happy we get to be family.  Thank you so much for your kind words."

"You're welcome.  I mean it, Jessie."

Jessica smiles at him and he hands her a gift.

"Ooh what's this?!"

"Open it and I'll explain."

"Okay!" She chuckles.

Jessica opens the present and pulls out a pillow with the character Stitch and a quote from the movie on it.

"Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.." Jessica smiles softly.

"I'm sorry I'm cheesy."

"No you're cute!" Jessica giggles and messes with his hair.

"I love this." She smiles at the pillow.

"See.. Lilo and Stitch is the only memory I have of my mother.  I remember watching it and her repeating this to me.. Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.
She left but she will never be forgotten.. Sam left, and He will never be forgotten.  We're becoming a family and I want you to know that those who have come and gone far too quickly will never be left behind or forgotten.  Family comes first... Always...
I'm just so happy that I have one now.  My dad and I have been broken for so long.. But now.. We're Ohana.." He says finally shedding a tear.

"Oh my gosh... You're so great.  I'm so lucky." Jessica smiles and wipes his face.

"Zachary.. This is so sweet and so special.. Thank you, baby.
... I may not have carried you for nine months, but I will spend the rest of my life loving you, protecting you, and doing whatever I need to make you happy... That's what Ohana is about." She smiles softly.

Zachary smiles and gives her a hug.

"Oh I love you, sweet boy!"

"I love you too, Jessie!"
