4th of July.

"You are just so precious! Isn't she precious, daddy?"

"Yes she is, mommy! Come do daddy, love bug." Danny takes her from Jessica and kisses her forehead.

Jessica smiles and says, "We're gonna have so much fun today at aunt Jane's house! Aren't we, pretty girl?"

"I bet you and your nephew will be the hit of the party!" Danny says making Jessica laugh.

"I'm gonna finish getting ready, baby. You're okay with her?"

"Yeah, go ahead and take your time." He answers smiling down at his baby girl.

"Nova, I must say that you are the most beautiful baby girl I've ever laid my eyes on.. I'm very very lucky to be your daddy."

Jessica was in the bathroom but could hear him speaking to the baby.

It made her heart so happy to hear him talk that way with her.

**

At Jane's.

"Look at me with two babies! Mom, I bet you I could juggle them!"

"No, Samuel!"

"I'm kidding!"

"I never know with this one!" Jessica says as everyone laughs.

"Tell mommy that brother was only playing, Nova!" Sam speaks in a baby voice to Nova.

She squirms around and gives him the tiniest smile.

"She's smiling! Oh you just love your handsome brother, don't you!"

Jessica laughs and Samuel starts crying.

"Hey you! Stop that crying, I'm speaking to your aunt!"

Tiffany chuckles and takes the baby from him.

"Come to momma, baby boy! He's probably hungry."

"Looks like it's just you and I, Nova!"

"I wanna hold her! I wanna hold her!" Ann shouts in a high pitched voice.

"Wait your turn!"

"Awe Sam, please!"

"Oh alright! I'll see you later, Novies." He smiles and kisses her cheek.

"Such a sweet brother!" Ann smiles and takes the baby.

"It's amazing how good she is! I have a little terror on my hands!" Sam motions towards baby Samuel.

"Yeah well look who his daddy is!" Jessica says.

"That's exactly how you were when you were a baby, and grandma Jane says that your father was the same way."

Sam chuckles and sits beside Tiffany who was feeding Samuel a bottle.

"Well Samuel.. You're gonna grow up to be a pretty good guy, aren't you?" Sam softly brushes his finger on Samuel's little arm as Jessica watches them with a smile.

July 6th.

"Nova! Today is your big brother's birthday!"

Nova looks up to her mother as she eats and Jessica giggles.

"I know you're secretly excited!"

Jessica walks down to the kitchen where Grayson was helping Danny with breakfast.

"Good morning my baby boy!" Jessica smiles.

"Morning, mommy! Look! I'm cooking with daddy!"

"And you're doing such a great job!"

"Thanks! Sit down and I'll make you some pancakes!"

"Thanks!" She giggles.

**

Sam and Tiffany's POV.

"Happy Birthday!" Tiffany smiles."

"Thanks, baby!"

Tiffany straddles him and gives him a passionate kiss.

"You never kiss me like that before I shower!" Sam smiles.

*Laughs* "Well today's a special day! You're twenty two!"

"I'm getting old, babe."

Tiffany laughs and kisses him again.

Just as Sam grabs her butt in his hands and intensifies the kiss, the baby starts crying.

"Dammit! Samuel!"

"Awe Sam, leave him alone!" Tiffany lightly taps his chest and climbs off of him to get the baby.

"Good morning my handsome boy! Did you sleep well?"

He cries even louder so Tiffany lifts her shirt.

"Okay, okay! I'm so sorry!" Here we go.. Breakfast is served, eat up!" She smiles.

Tiffany sits on the bed and Sam says, "When is it going to be daddy's turn?"

Tiffany smirks and says, "When mommy says so!"

"But I've been so good and it's my birthday!" He pouts.

Tiffany giggles and grabs his face and pulls it to hers so she can kiss his lips.

**

"Yes, Yes.. I have arrived. Bow down, peasants." Sam says walking in with his hands in the air.

"Daddy's a dork, isn't he, Samuel?" Tiffany says to the baby.

Jessica laughs and hugs her son.

"Happy Birthday, baby!"

"Thank you mom!"

"Happy Birthday, Sam!"

"Thanks, Gray! You makin' me some pancakes?"

"I'm making MOMMY some pancakes!"

"Oh well excuse me!"

Jessica laughs and the front door opens.

"The HANDSOME birthday boy has arrived!"

Caroline chuckles and follows him to the kitchen.

"My Jamesy! Happy Birthday my beautiful boy!" Jessica runs and hugs him.

"Thanks, momma!" James smiles and kisses Jessica's cheeks.

"Danny's making breakfast, come sit!"

"Mommy, you forgot about me!"

"Oh yes! Grayson is making breakfast as well! Thank you, baby!"

"You're welcome, mommy!" Grayson smiles

"Oh my goodness! Such a big boy!" Caroline walks up behind him and kisses his cheek while tickling his belly.

"Mm! You smell yummy, Caro!" He looks up and smiles before kissing her cheek.

"Thank you!"

"Hey are you puttin' the moves on my woman?" James says wrapping his arm around Caroline's waist.

"Yes!" Grayson giggles.

"You little booger!" James laughs.

"Oh Grayson, I'm flattered!" She smiles.

"Happy Birthday you big doofus!" Sam hugs James and lifts him up.

"Thanks, you too, jackass!"

"Boys!" Jessica laughs.

"It's just brotherly love, mom!"

She chuckles and rolls her eyes.

"Are we all on for tonight?" James looks at Michael, Zachary and Sam and Tiffany.

"Oh that's right! Oh I forgot to ask!"

"What?" Jessica says.

Samuel smiles and asks, "Would you mind watching the baby tonight?"

"It's okay! Honey, you go. I'll stay with the baby."

"Awe but I want you to go! This is my fist birthday with you!" Sam pouts and slides his arm over her lower back.

"No that's fine! Tiffany, you go and Danny and I will watch the baby."

"Are you sure? You two already have your hands full."

"No we're fine! You all go and have fun!"

"Thank you so much!"

**

"Twenty two.. Oh my goodness. Where did the time go? What time is it, babe?"

Danny looks at his watch and says, "Nine forty five."

"I'm pushing!" Jessica smiles.

"Samuel, you'll be born in five minutes!"

"How far apart were they born?"

"Twenty minutes."

"Oh really? How much did they weigh?"

"They were pretty big for twins. James was seven pounds six ounces and Samuel was seven pounds eight ounces."

"Always trying to up me, huh?" James glares at Sam.

"Always!" He smiles.

"Dang! That's big for twins! Gosh and you were so young! You poor thing!"

"It was hard! It was Very hard! I still can't believe I did it." Jessica chuckles

"Have you ever seen a picture of me when I was pregnant with them before?"

"No."

"I haven't either!" Caroline says.

"I don't even know if I have." Danny says.

"Heh! I found this in Sam's things last night." Jessica gets up to grab the picture.

"Oh wow! You look like a baby!"

"I was!"

"Look at that huge belly on that little girl! Oh Jessie!" Danny touches his chest.

"I know! My body wasn't even fully developed yet and I already had a mom body."

"You know, mom.. I don't say this enough, but thank you.

... I mean you were fourteen and look at you! Now that I have a son and I've seen what it takes to bring a child into the world, I love and appreciate you more than I ever have."

"Awe, Sam!"

"I don't have a baby, but do appreciate you, momma. I hope you do realize how special you are to all of us. You're such an amazing mother, and we owe everything to you."

"Oh gosh!" Jessica covers her mouth and her eyes fill with tears.

"I love you boys! I love all my babies! Getting pregnant at such a young age was hard, but I would never change it! Because of that.. You had more time with your father, so it's very much a blessing. You have changed life for the better.. Lord knows we've all gone through extremely difficult times, but it's only made us stronger."

"Yes it has." Sam smiles softly.

**

"Want another drink, babe?"

"No thanks, two is my limit tonight!"

"Okay, then I'll stop too."

"You go ahead! You are the birthday boy after all." Tiffany smiles.

"Nah, I'm okay! Imagine a hangover with Samuel screaming in the background."

"Oh that's right. Doesn't sound like fun." She laughs.

"Not one bit!"

"SHOOOTS!" James shouts as he gets extremely close to Sam with Caroline clinging onto him.

"Dude, I can't do shots."

"What? Are you pregnant?" James laughs.

"I've got a kid at home, James."

"I won't tell." He smiles.

"No, I can't."

Zachary laughs and says, "It's funny how in college you were the one that was drunk and now you're like.. Like a dad."

"Well I am one, Zach. Thanks for pointing out the obvious."

"It's just weird!"

"It is.. Oh God, Caroline! Get your hand out of my brother's pants!" Michael says in disgust.

James giggles as Caroline nibbles on his ear.

"Sorry. She's a horny drunk."

Tiffany chuckles and looks around.

"Are you ready to go home?"

"It is getting late."

"It is not!"

"James honey, we better get home too.. I need you, baby!" Caroline grabs his face and kisses him intensely.

"Mmmm.. Well look at the time, we better go!" James slurs.

"Happy Birthday, brother! I love you. I really really.. Love you, man!" He hugs Sam and roughly pats his back.

"I love you too. Happy Birthday!"

"I love everyone! EEEEEVERYONNNNE!" He smiles.

"Honey, we got get an Uuu.. And Uuuu."

"What the fuck are you saying?" James looks at Caroline in confusion.

"We gotta get an U-Uber."

"Oh! Yeah, I'm on it, babe!"

Tiffany chuckles and Sam grabs her hand, "Let's go home."

"Alright."

"You two get going too!" Sam looks at Zachary and Michael.

"I think we're gonna head to a friend's house where we can actually get booze." Michael says.

"Nope! None of that! Be responsible, boys!"

Zachary and Michael give Sam a strange look.

"I don't know this Sam!" Zachary says.

"It's late, you both should get home. Are you staying at James' house tonight?"

"With those two horny fucks? No way!" Michael answers.

"Heh! Alright, well I'll see you at home then."

"Alright. You guys be careful."

"You too."

**

When they get home Sam and Tiffany knock on Danny and Jessica's bedroom door.

Danny opens it with sleepy eyes and messy hair and Tiffany whispers, "Hey.. How was he?"

"Good, he's sleeping now."

Jessica wakes up and says, "Just leave him with us for tonight so he won't wake up when you move him. I'll bring him in if he needs you."

"Are you sure?" Tiffany asks.

"Yeah, it's no problem." She yawns and rubs her face.

"Alright, thank you!"

"No problem. Did you guys have a good time?"

"Yeah, but it's weird.. Like I didn't want to drink much. I just wanted to get home to see how Samuel was." Sam says as Tiffany nods in agreement.

"Kids change you." Jessica says with sleepy eyes.

"Yeah.. It's weird!" He chuckles.

"James on the other hand was a party animal! Boy how the tables have turned!" He chuckles.

"Heh! Well I'm glad you two got to go out and have a little fun."

"Yeah. Thank you both again for watching him. Just come in if you need anything!"

"Alright. Goodnight, and happy birthday, baby!" She smiles softly.

"Thank you, mom!"

Sam starts shutting the door and stops to say, "Oh and I'm praying to God the messy hair is just bed head and you weren't having sex in front of my son!"

"Samuel!" Jessica shouts.

"Just checking!"

"Your mom doesn't even let me touch her, Sam." Danny yawns as he leans on the door with his eyes half shut.

"Daniel!" Jessica says.

"I know how you feel!" Sam looks at Tiffany.

"Sam!" She shouts and walks to their room.

"I'm hoping tonight will be the night!" He smiles and nudges Danny.

"Sam."

"Yes mom?" Samuel smiles innocently at his mother.

"Wrap it up, please."

"MOOOOM! DON'T RUIN IT!" He whines and stomps out.

**

When Sam walked in the room Tiffany was in the bathroom, so he stripped down to his underwear and got into bed.

When the bathroom door opened Sam looked up and took a double take at her.

"Oh my gosh!" His eyes widen.

Tiffany giggles and says, "It's your birthday.. You didn't expect me not to get you anything, did you?"

"III-uh-uh.."

She chuckles and walks over to the bed and straddles him. She was tearing a super short silk nighty that was low cut to show off her new cleavage thanks to nursing their new son.

"Oh my gosh? You're so hot"

"Thanks! I don't look as great as I did pre baby, but-"

Sam places his finger on her plumped lips and says, "You're perfect."

"Thank you." Tiffany smiles.

Sam wraps his arms around her and rubs his hands on her back as they kiss passionately.

Tiffany moans into the kiss then slowly pulls away and says, "I was glad you ended up choosing not to drink much.. I know niether one of us really remember anything from the night Samuel was conceived.. The first time we were together. I just wanted to tonight to be special.. I want to remember it forever."

Sam smiles and softly rubs the back of his fingers on her cheek.

"We will."
