Second thoughts

June 9th.

Jessica was downstairs making breakfast and Grayson was running around the kitchen playing with his toys. The boys were in the living room and Danny was just now getting out of the shower.

"Dada!" Grayson runs to him with his arms open.

"Grayson!" Danny picks him up and gives him kisses.

"What's up, bud?"

"I playing wit my toys!"

"Ooh fun!"

"Yeah! Put me down!" Grayson kicks his legs.

Danny chuckles and puts him down.

"Hello my gorgeous bride to be."

"Good morning, handsome!"

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

"Did you sleep well?" Jessica asks.

"Mhm.. You smell so good."

"I smell like bacon."

"Well I like it." He laughs and kisses her neck.

Jessica laughs and turns towards him.
Danny places his hands on her waist and pulls her close.

"One week until we're husband and wife."

Jessica smiles softly and says, "I can't wait."

"Mama! Mama! Mama!"

"What Grayson?"

"Change! Change!" He lifts his shirt and pulls on the top of his pajama pants.

Jessica chuckles and Grayson scrunches his nose.

"It yucky, mama!"

"It's yucky? Well what do you want me to do about it?"

"Mamaaa chaaaaange!" He whines as he grabs her robe and hangs on her.

"Stop hanging on that, I'm coming."

"You want me to change him so you can eat?" Danny asks.

"No that's okay, you eat.
Boys, breakfast is ready!"

"I think it's time you use big boy underwear!"

"Like daddy?"

"Yeah like daddy! *Chuckles* Do you wanna be a big boy like daddy and your brother's?"

"Yeah!"

"Good! Then next time you have to go potty, tell mommy or daddy that you have to go and you can go on your big boy potty seat."

"Okay."

"So what are you gonna do when you have to go?"

"I gotta potty, mama!"

"Good boy!"

"Mama.."

"What baby?"

"I gotta go potty!" He says before peeing everywhere.

*Gasp* "Grayson! A little more of a warning next time, okay bud?" She says holding his diaper over him.

Grayson laughs and says, "I twy next time, mommy."

"Aww! Good boy!  You're such a sweet heart. If you go in the potty then I'll give you a prize, okay?"

"Yay!"

Later that day Jessica went with Sarah and her mom to pick up her wedding dress.

She tried it on and Dorothy cried.

"Jessie, you look so beautiful."

"You really do, Jess.  You're stunning."

"Thank you guys.
I can't believe I'm getting married again.  It's so weird..."

"Are you okay?" Dorothy asks when she notices Jessica become really quiet.

"Yeah... Yeah, I'm okay."

"No you're not, what's wrong?" Sarah says.

Jessica sighs and says, "Am I doing the right thing?"

"What?" Dorothy asks in shock.

"Jessie, you love Daniel!"

"I know I do.. I just keep thinking about Sam...
Do you think he's upset I'm marrying another man?"

"Honey, I really don't think Samuel would feel that way. You know his biggest wish in life was for you to be happy. Daniel makes you happy. You've had a rough three years and you've finally found happiness. You deserve it, sweet pea."

Jessica nods and wipes her tears.

"I guess you're right.."

"Jess, when Danny first called you to ask you out on a date, do you remember what happened?"

"Yeah.."

"What happened?" Dorothy asks.

"Her phone was on her night stand and it made Sam's picture light up when he called.  Sam sent her Danny and Zachary, I honestly do believe that in my heart."

"I know. I know he did, I just.. He's my husband, and now I'm gonna have this new husband. I feel like I'm cheating on him in a way."

"Jessie.."

"I just need some time to think."

After leaving the dress boutique Jessica drove to the cemetery alone.

She sat down on the ground and softly ran her hand on his grave.

"Hi Sammy.. I miss you so much, baby.
I miss our talks, I miss your hugs, making love to you, I miss your cooking.. I miss you.
I get married in a week.. It's crazy.  I never thought I'd marry someone else.  You were so amazing, I didn't think anyone could come close.  I'm lucky to have found two of the best men on this planet. 

... Sammy, I need to know if you're okay with this.  Please please send me some kind of sign."

"Mommy!  Mommy!" Jessica was in the most beautiful garden she had ever seen when she heard a little girl calling her.

"Felicity Grace!  Oh my beautiful girl!"

Jessica ran to her and picked her up.

"Hi mommy!"

"Baby girl, I'm so happy to see you!"

"I told you I'd visit, remember silly?" She giggles.

"Oh that's right!  Well thank you so much.  How have you been?"

"Great!  I have SO many friends!  Mama, I visit my big brother all the time!"

"You do?!"

"Yeah!  Me and Grayson have a lot of fun together!"

"That's so amazing, baby.  That makes me so happy."

"Good! 
Uncle Sam is coming to talk to you."

"He is?!" Jessica smiles.

"Yeah, he's just slow sometimes.  UNCLE SAAAAM!" She shouts.

"I'm coming, Felicity!"

Jessica laughs and smiles big when she sees Sam walking towards her.

She runs over to him and hugs him tight.
Jessica kisses his lips and Felicity covers her eyes.

"Oh not this again!"

Jessica laughs and kisses her cheek.

"Sam, what is this place?  It's so beautiful." Jessica says looking around.

"It's just your dream.  See how beautiful your mind is?"

Jessica blushes and Sam playfully pinches her cheek.

"Baby, I want you to know that I love you so so much and I always will.  You were mine for so long.. But it's time you give your one hundred percent to someone else.  I'm not with you on earth anymore, but I will always be with in your heart.  I'll never stop loving you, and I want you to be happy.  I picked Danny out special for you.  You're gonna have a great life with him." Sam says with tears in his eyes.

"Really?"

"Yeah.. You'll have hard times, but please keep pushing through.  In the end you'll have everything you want and more."

"I love you, Sam." Jessica says with tears slowly running down her cheeks.

"I love you too."

"And I love you too!" Felicity shouts and hugs Jessica.

"I love you more, baby!"  Jessica squeezes her.

"Mommy, it's gonna rain!  You need to get up soon!"

"I don't wanna go." Jessica pouts.

"You have to, silly!!  Uncle Sam has to take me to ballet class!"

"Oh that's right!"

Jessica giggles and stands her up.

"Let me fix your little glasses. 
Give me a hug and a kiss."

Felicity does what she is asked and Jessica rubs her back.

"You two visit me again soon, okay?"

"We will!  Don't you worry!" Felicity taps Jessica's nose.

"Haha!  Bye, baby."

"See you later, mommy!" She says skipping off.

"Wait up, Lissie!" Sam says.

Jessica chuckles and Sam helps her up to her feet.

"Have fun, be happy, and don't worry about it.  I'm happy for you.  I really am.  You know that's all I want is for you to be happy."

"Thank you, Samuel."

Sam smiles and holds his arms out.

"Come here."

Jessica hugs him and lays on his chest.

"I love you so much."

"I love you more, Jessica.  Congratulations.. I'll see you again soon."

**

Jessica woke up to rain drop falling softly on her face.

*Gasp* "Did I really just fall asleep out here?!" She laughs.

"Thank you Sam.  I love you, baby." She kisses his headstone.

As she walks to her car she lifts her hand to feel the water and has a happy smile on her face.

**

"Hey baby, where were you?  I was getting worried." Danny walks over to her.

"I was um.. I was just out thinking."

"About what?"

Jessica wraps her arms around him and smiles, "How blessed I am to have met you.  Thank you for marrying me, Daniel Huston."
