The last night

After looking at many different houses, there's one that immediately feels like home to them.

Danny this house is perfect. This ones it."

"Think so too." He smiles.

Jessica looks at the boys and James says, "This ones it, mom."

"Yeah?" She smiles.

"Yeah." James nods.

"Awe baby!" Jessica hugs him.

"So this is it?" Zachary asks.

"This is it." Danny says.

August 15th.

After weeks of waiting for everything to be finalized, the time has come for things to start happening.

They've done a lot of packing, and have finally started moving things into the new house.

"Mom, look at this picture I found." Michael walks over to Jessica and shows her.

"Oh my gosh! Look at my boys! Heh, you know, Michael, I was about six weeks pregnant with you there."

"Really?"

"Yes! I didn't know it yet, but I definitely knew something was up. Oh I was so sick!"

"Sorry about that!" He chuckles.

"It's okay!" Jessica laughs.

"Mama hold!" Grayson walks over whining for Jessica.

"Baby boy, I've been holding you all day! Mama's busy, sweet boy." Jessica picks him up.

"Mama!" He cries.

"I think you're getting sicky! My poor baby." She pouts and kisses his head.

The doorbell rings and it's George.

"Hey, come on in. Thank you so much for helping! Daniel's working today. I have my boys, and Zach helping me, but there's So much stuff!!"

"It's okay, I'm here to help!"

"Thank you, George. Do you mind if I take a little nap with him? He's fussy, and I'm not feeling so well."

"Sure, go ahead."

"Thanks.

Come one, Gray, let's go take a nap."

Jessica and Grayson go upstairs and fall right to sleep.



When Jessica wakes up, Grayson is sucking on his pacifier and staring at her.

"Heh! Your daddy used to watch me sleep like that, too!  You two are a bunch of creepers!"

Grayson laughs and Jessica palaces her hand on him.

"I kept having dreams of your daddy.. He visits me a lot, Gray. It's nice." She smiles softly.

"Do you dream of daddy?" She asks softly playing with his hair.

He nods and she smiles.

"I bet you do!"

"Thank you for all your help, George, I appreciate it." Jessica hugs him.

"No problem, sis. I'll be over tomorrow to help you guys into the house."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah it's no problem."

"Awe thank you!" She pouts and hugs him again.

"No problem." He chuckles and rubs her back.

Later once Zachary leaves.

"So... This is our last night in this place, huh?" Sam says looking down.

"Yeah.. It's weird." Jessica says with tears filling her eyes.

"It's gonna be so weird not coming back here ever again."

"I know.." Jessica says with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"It was a great eleven years here.. This home is filled with so many memories.. Good and bad.."

Jessica nods and takes a deep breath.

"Let's not be sad! Daddy wouldn't want us the be sad. This is a happy thing!" Jessica wipes her face.

"Let's order some pizza!" She says grabbing her phone.

That night they stay up just laughing and telling old family stories.

The boys all past out in the living room, but Jessica couldn't sleep, so she went upstairs and packed some things in her bedroom.

Jessica was wearing one of Sam's over sized shirts that she swore still smelled like him.

She looked around the silent and pretty much empty space, and remembered all of the memories she and Sam shared together in that very room.

A place that they promised to live out the rest of their days together would soon belong to someone else.

This whole thing was bitter sweet for Jessica.  She was ecstatic to be moving in with Daniel, but she was saddened at the thought of leaving these memories behind.

"Thank you for the many great years, beautiful house, gorgeous boys and wonderful memories, Sammy." She says before laying down in their bed one last time.

Sam woke up, then woke the boys up to ask where Jessica had went.

"I don't know, maybe she's upstairs." James rubs his eyes.

"Let's go check on her."

Michael takes Grayson who was still asleep, and they all go upstairs.

"Mom?" James knocks lightly on the door.

"Hm?  Oh boys!" She quickly wipes her tears.

"Hey.. You okay, mom?" Sam sits beside her and wraps his arm around her.

"I'm just a little sad.. I'm okay."

James and Michael join them on the bed and James says, "It's okay to be sad.. It's okay to cry.. But it's also okay to be happy.

I know I was having a hard time with this, but I know you're happy with Danny.

Dad is happy this is happening, I know he is."

Jessica nods and Sam wipes her tears as she rests her head on him.

"I'm so happy to be starting this new chapter with Daniel and Zach, and of course you boys.  It just makes me sad not only leaving the house your father and I worked so hard for.. And the house that we Shared our love in.... but also the house my baby boys grew up in.  It's all becoming so real and it's so much harder than I ever could have imagined."

"I know it's hard, but we're okay, and we're happy about this.  It's gonna be so much fun having so many people in the house!" Michael smiles.

"Yeah, now you won't be lonely when James and I go back to school."

"Well I'll still miss you guys like crazy!" She cries harder.

"Awe momma, stop crying!" Sam chuckles and hugs her tighter.

"I'm sorry!"

"Don't apologize, it's okay!" James grabs her hand.

"Now everyone scooch over!  We're having one more sleepover in mom and dad's bed!" James says.

"Awe!" Jessica pouts.

Jessica inhales deeply and tries her best not to cry.

"Thank you boys for always being here for me.  I love you all so so much."

"We love you too, mom."
