"What? What's wrong?" Danny runs to Jessica.

"I'm bleeding."

"Oh my god. Boys, uh- Ca-Can you watch your brother, please?"

"Of course, you two go!" Sam says.

"What's going on?" James asks Caroline.

"Your mom's bleeding." She says with tears slowly running down her face.

"What? No!" He starts to panic.

Danny throws Jessica's coat over her back and walks her out to the car.

"I have to go with them!" James walks to the door.

"James, let them go alone." Michael tells him.

"Oh God, what did I do?"

"What are you talking about?" Zach asks.

"I.. I was just being stupid."

"He was afraid that all the attention would be taken away from the wedding because of the baby coming."

"You said that to mom? You are so selfish! What a jerk!" Sam says.

"I don't know why I said that! Oh my gosh, please please let the baby be okay. I'm sorry!"

"Where did mommy go? What's happening with the baby?" Grayson asks.

"Nothing, bud.. Momma's okay. So is the baby.. everything's gonna be okay." Sam gets down to Grayson's level.

Jessica and Danny's POV.

The roads were horrible that night, so it took even longer for them to get to the hospital.

"Danny, I'm so scared. What if I'm loosing the baby? I couldn't take it, Danny!"

"Baby, everything's gonna be okay. Our little love bug is going to be fine."

"But Danny-"

"No buts. This baby is fine, Jessica." Danny looks her in the eyes and places his hand on her stomach.

**

When they get there they immediately take her to the back.

"Tell me if this hurts." The doctor says feeling around her stomach.

"Ow! That did!" Jessica flinches.

"Can you check on the baby? I just need to know if it's alright."

"Of course."
The doctor puts the heart monitor on her stomach and they hear the baby's strong heartbeat.

"Oh thank God!" Jessica takes a sigh of relief.

Danny lets out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding in and kisses the back of Jessica's hand.

"I'm going to perform an ultrasound. Have you had a history of ovarian cysts?"

"Yes, I have one now."

The doctor looks on the ultrasound and Jessica and Danny smile at their baby unfazed by Jessica's discomfort.

"Well the baby seems to be fine." The doctor chuckles.

"Yeah." Jessica smiles lovingly to the screen.

"Oh my gosh, it's so cute!" Danny says in a cute voice.

Jessica giggles at his cuteness.

"So what's wrong? Why is she cramping and bleeding?"

The doctor moves the scanner to the bottom right corner of her stomach.

"Your cyst ruptured."

"What? Does that cause harm to the baby?"

"Not at all! The bleeding is normal, and the light cramping you had was just caused from the rupture. You and your baby will be perfectly fine."

"Oh gosh, Thank you so much."

"No problem. You two have a great night." The doctor smiles.

He leaves and Jessica covers her face and breaks down in tears.

"Sweetie, the baby's okay, don't cry."

"I know. It just scared me."

Danny squeezes himself beside her and wraps his arm around her.

"It scared me too.. But our little love bug is healthy and wiggling around in there. Everything's perfect."

Danny kisses her forehead and rubs her tiny belly.

"The doctor said this won't effect the baby. It's actually good news.. That thing is finally gone!"

"Yeah, I guess you're right.. That is good."

"Yeah! Now let's go home and get some rest. It's been a long day."

"Okay." Jessica smiles softly.

Danny smiles at her and wipes her cheeks.

As soon as they were leaving James runs in.

"James, what are you doing here? The roads are horrible!" Jessica says.

"It's fine! Are you okay? Is the baby okay? Why are you crying?" He grabs Jessica's face in his hands.

"Honey, we're okay."

"You are? Both of you?!"

"Yes! Baby, we're fine."

James breaks into tears and falls to his knees.
He wraps his arms around his mother and presses the side of his face on her stomach.

"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry! I am happy for this baby. I am, I was just being a selfish inconsiderate jerk. I'm sorry mom, I'm happy for my new little brother or sister!"

"Baby, it's okay! Stand up, James." She taps his shoulders.

He stands up and she wraps her arms around him.

"I love you, mom."

"I love you too, honey."

**

Danny, Jessica and James walk into the house and everyone jumps up.

"Is everything okay?"

"Everything's fine. *Smiles* My cyst ruptured."

"Mom, that doesn't sound fine." Sam says.

"Heh, it doesn't. But it's a good thing! It's gone and it didn't effect the baby at all. We have a one hundred percent healthy little baby." Jessica smiles and places her hand on her small bump.

"Oh thank God!" Caroline grabs her chest.

"Mommy, daddy, where did you go?"

"We went to see your little brother or sister." Jessica smiles.

"Oh man! Why didn't you take me?"

"Heh! We will next time, okay?"

"Yay!"

"Do you guys wanna see pictures of the baby?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay, here's some from the first ultrasound we had.." Jessica pulls the pictures out of her purse.

"It's kinda hard to see, but that little spec is the baby." She chuckles.

"Momma, that's not a baby!" Grayson laughs.

"Yes it is! It's just really really tiny!"

"Here's one from tonight. It's a little bit bigger." Danny shows him the newer ultrasound.

"Woah! That looks like a little baby!" Grayson's eyes widen.

"Haha! It is!"

"That's so cool! That's in there right now?" Grayson points to Jessica's stomach.

"Mhm!" She nods.

"Haha! Hello in there!" He says loudly with his mouth and hands pressed against her belly.

"Haha!  You are such a cutie pie!"

***

Thanksgiving.

That morning Jessica woke up like every morning. Sick to her stomach and running to the bathroom.

"Danny, get out, this is gross!"

"It's fine. Just let it all out." He says holding her hair  and rubbing her back.

Jessica stands up and walks over to the sink to brush her teeth.

"Happy Thanksgiving." Danny smiles at her through the mirror.

"Thanks. You too."

"Are you ready to tell everyone about our little bambino?" He wraps one arm around her and rubs her belly.

"I am!" She smiles softly.

"Everyone is gonna be so shocked... Wait Jess.." He slowly feels around her stomach.

"What?"

"Let me look at you." He grabs her waist and turns her around.

"Danny." She laughs with her toothbrush in her mouth.

Danny pulls the thin layer of her nightgown back and smiles.

"I think your little tummy grew over night!"

"Heh, it feels like it, doesn't it?  Fourteen weeks is when I usually pop."

"I can't wait for you to get huge!"

Jessica laughs and Danny continues.
"Round and puffy faced... I'm excited." He smiles.

"You're such a dork!" She chuckles and places her palm over his face as she turns back towards the sink.

"Maybe.. But you still love me anyway."

Danny wraps his arms around her stomach and rests his chin on her shoulder.

"That's true." Jessica smiles

**

"Grayson, remember that you cannot tell anybody about the baby, okay? Not one person!"

"But why?"

"Because I want to make a special announcement. After I tell everyone, then you are free to do whatever you want." She smiles.

"Okay!"

"You promise you won't?"

"I promise!" Grayson smiles.

"Thank you, baby."

**

Jessica Danny, the boys and Caroline all went over to George's house for Thanksgiving dinner.

"The big day is getting closer, are you two excited?" Ann asks.

"Yes!  I still can't believe it." Caroline giggles.

"Me either.  I'm excited for what our future holds." James smiles and tightens his grip on Caroline's hand.

"Awe!  You guuuuys!  I'm so happy for you!  Just think, soon you can have little babies!"

"Yeah." James chuckles

Jessica was sitting beside them and smiled softly.

"How would you like that, grandma?" She teases Jessica.

James laughs and Caroline elbows him.

"That'd be crazy for sure!" Jessica giggles.

"Imagine me a grandmother!"

Danny chuckles and Ann says, "You'd make a good grandma!  A young and sexy grandmother, WOO!"

"Haha, that's funny... I think it would be best for them to wait.  They seem like they have some stuff planned before kids, right guys?"

"Oh definitely!" Caroline says.

"Yeah, at least a couple years to get on our feet, then we'll talk about kids.

"Dinner is served!" George's wife calls everyone.

Jessica sits down and as soon as the smell hits her she suddenly feels sick.

"You okay?" Danny touches her thigh and mumbles.

"I can't sit here.  I'm puke, Danny."

"Just excuse yourself.  I'll go in and check on you in just a second."

Jessica nods and excuses herself from the table.

Danny follows her a few minutes later and Jessica was still sick in the restroom.

Once she's finished, she washes up and Danny opens the door.

"Danny, I just wanna go to bed." Jessica pouts and sits in the counter beside the sink.

"I know, baby.  I'm sorry.
Just push your food around and sneak some over to my plate." He says with his hands on her waist.

Jessica smiles softly with her head slightly tilted to the side.
"Thank you."

Jessica suddenly gasps and touches her stomach with both of her hands.

"What's wrong?"

"I think the baby just moved!" She smiles and her eyes light up.

"Really?!  Oh Jess, that's so cool!"

"Yeah..." Jessica looks down with tears in her eyes.

"All worth it, huh?"

Jessica nods and fights her tears.
"Definitely." She speaks in a whisper.

"Hey guys, is everything-" George's wife walks in and freezes when she see both of their hands on her belly.

"Well.. You um.. Your stomach is there, you seem to be fine." Danny tries to save it but fails.

"Thanks, honey!" Jessica smiles and plays along.

"What?  No!  WHAT?!!!" She shouts.

"Shhhh!  Quiet, Samantha." Jessica says.

"Jessie.. Are you pregnant?"

"Get in here!" Jessica jumps off the counter and pulls her sister in law by the arm.

Danny closes the door and Samantha asks again.
"Are you pregnant?"

"Yes." Jessica smiles.

"OH MY GOSH!!  Jessie, in so happy for you!  I'm so happy for both of you!"

"Thank you, Sam!  We were actually planning on announcing it at dinner, but I got sick."

"Awe!  I'm sorry.  How far along are you?"

"Fourteen weeks."

"Oh wow!  I'm so excited!"

**

Meanwhile in the dining room.

"Oh my gosh!!"

"Was that Samantha?" George chuckles.

"Heh!  Uh, maybe she.. She walked in on mom and Danny.. Uh."

"Sam, stop it." James stops him.

"Should I go see what's going on?"

"No!" Samuel quickly stands up.

George looks at him strangely and he says, "I mean.. Um.. I'll go.  Everyone just eat.. Eat and um.. Be thankful."

He takes off to the bathroom and opens the door.

"You guys, what's going on in here?  We can hear you all the way over there, Aunt Sam."

"Oops!  Sorry!"

"She knows." Danny says.

"She does?  About..." Sam motions a big belly, then pretends to be rocking a baby."

"Well if she didn't, she does now!" Jessica laughs.

"Yes I know!!  I'm so happy!  You're gonna have a little brother or sister!" Samantha hugs him and jumps up and down.

"I know, I'm excited.  Now can we go because everyone is kinda sketched out."

"Yeah, let's go, guys."
Jessica walks in front of them and Samantha points to her.
"She has your baby inside of her!" She tells Danny.

"I know!" Danny gets excited.

**

"What were you guys doing?"

"Discussing the weather.  Hey, I have an idea of what we can do during our meal!  Let's go around the table and say one thing that we're thankful for." Jessica says.

"Mom, you go first!"

**

"I'm thankful for my beautiful bride to be, and all of the memories to be made together.  I'm thankful for my father in Heaven that taught me how to treat a woman.  I'm thankful for my siblings.. Every single one." James says looking over to Jessica.

She smiles softly and her eyes fill with tears.

"I'm thankful for Danny, for treating us like his own and for helping my mom raise Grayson.  Thank you for being an amazing father figure to him, and thank you for treating my mom so well."

Danny smiles and nods his head.

"And last but certainly not least, I'm thankful for my mom.  Without her I'd be nothing.  Thank you mom.. For being my biggest supporter, my biggest critic, and my best friend.  I love you."

"Awe!  James-Y!"Jessica wipes her cheeks and stands up to give him a hug.

**

"My turn! *Giggles* I'm thankful for my amazing family.  I'm thankful for my Sammy in Heaven.. I'm thankful for my Danny.. Him and I have been through a lot the time we've been together.. But he's kept me sane, so thank you, baby. *Chuckles* I'm thankful for All of my babies.  You drive me crazy, but I'm so proud to be your momma." Jessica smiles at all of her boys.

"I love you all.. Samuel, James, Michael, Zachary, Grayson... And our little love bug that's still in there baking." Jessica smiles and places her hand on her stomach.

"What!  JESSICA!!  ARE YOU PREGNANT?!!!" Jane screams.

Jessica laughs and nods her head.

"What?  You're pregnant?!" George's eyes widen.

"I am!"

"Shut up!  I knew you looked bigger!  How far along are you?!" Ann asks.

"I'm fourteen weeks."

"Awe!  Jessie!"

"My baby's gonna have another baby!  I'm gonna be a grandpa again!" Albert chuckles.

"Yeah!  I'm so surprised that momma didn't tell you, daddy."

"I know!  That woman can't hold ice water!"

"Haha!  It was very difficult, but I'm pretty proud of myself." Dorothy smiles.

"I'm gonna be a big brother!  My mommy has a baby in her tummy!"

"Grayson, you're gonna make the best big brother ever!" Jane says.

"Yeah, I know!"

Jane laughs and says, "You guys, I'm so happy for you all.  A wedding coming up.. A baby on the way.  Things are looking pretty good for the Shepard/Huston family."

"Yes!  Very." Jessica smiles.
