"Wow, I didn't think it would be that bad." Jessica chuckles. She had just gotten done with her ECV.

"It was quick and simple. Your little girl is head down now. Two more weeks Mrs. Huston." The doctor smiles cutely.

Jessica tries to sit up but she couldn't. "Could you help me, please?" She says with embarrassment. It was a lot harder for Jessica to get up now.

"Oh yes! Of course, I'm sorry."

He pulls her up and Jessica moves around trying to get comfortable.

"Thanks. I've noticed that I'm slowly becoming immobile." She says

"That's okay, that's usually how it goes towards the end." He smiles

It becomes quite and awkward quickly.

"Well thank you. I'll see you next week."

"Yep! Our last appointment!"

Jessica wobbles out to her car then heads home. She had been so tired. When she got home she went straight to the couch and put her feet up. Jessica fell into a deep sleep.

"I can't wait to meet our baby girl, she's going to be so precious just like her beautiful mama." Danny put his head on Jessica's lap and poked around her stomach trying to get the baby to kick.

"Danny, she's not going to be so precious if you make her mad. Stop poking!" Jessica says running her fingers through his curls.

He sits up, not taking his hand off her stomach. "I'm sorry, I just love her so much."

"She loves you too. But she also loves sleep. And I like not feeling little baby feet in my ribs." Jessica smiles

Danny wraps his arms around Jessica and kisses her over and over. "We are going to be the best parents ever. I promise to give my girls everything in the world."

"That's sweet... we are lucky to have you."

Danny jumps up from the couch and spins around in the air.

Jessica gives him a funny look. "What in the world are you doing?" Jessica chuckles

"Jessica! Do you remember spring break of junior year? Our families were both going out of town and we wanted to be together?" He says

Jessica rolls her eyes and nods "Yes, I remember..."

"We said we were both sick to get out of it so we could be together?"

"... because we couldn't handle being apart. Yes, I remember."

"When they were both gone we packed up my old ford truck and just drove somewhere for the week."

"Yes."

"That was the best trip ever." He smiles

"It was... but what's your point?"

"When our little girl goes on spring break we are taking that same route every year."

Jessica chuckles at the idea. "Don't you think she'd enjoy Disney or a beach?"

"No!"

"Oh, okay" she giggles

"She'd enjoy road trips. I know it, she told me."

"She did now?"

Danny nods with confidence. "Yes."

"You're a goof." Jessica says under her breath.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. You're a goof!"

Danny jumps back onto the couch and starts to tickle Jessica.

Jessica laughs uncontrollably. "Stop it! Get off!" She laughs

"No! Take it back!"

Then, Jessica feels a strong kick from the baby. She grabs his arm and he stops.

"What?"

"Your baby girl doesn't like you bothering me!" She puts his hand on her belly and he feels the kicks.

He goes back into the Sam position as before, on Jessica's lap. He kisses her belly over and over and talks to his daughter.

"Hey baby, I can't wait to show you the world..."

Spring break, 2007-

"Danny, they're gone. Are your parents gone?" Jessica says looking out of the window as her family drives off to the airport.

"Yeah, they're gone. Damn, spring break is going to be amazing, baby."

"It is... should I come over?"

"Actually, no. Pack some bags." He says

"What?"

"If you aren't going to go to Florida with your family and I'm not going to Cali with mine, we are going somewhere together."

"Daniel! Where would two teenagers go?"

"I don't know. I'll get some money and we will have a road trip."

Jessica smiles "Okay. Hurry over, I miss you." She says

Hours later Jessica and Danny picked up and left Minnesota. They didn't know where they were going. It didn't matter. As long as they were home before their families everything was alright.

"Danny, where do you think we are going to go?"

"I was thinking Michigan." He smiles

"Really? I've never been."

"Me neither. I need to figure out how to get there."

Jessica chuckles "What are we going to do in Michigan?"

"I'm not sure... I say let's just see where the road takes us. If we land in Michigan we land in Michigan. If we land in Chicago we land in Chicago. The list goes on. We have fifty states to Choose from." He smirks

"You're crazy, Daniel. You really are."

"You're just as crazy."

"How so?"

"You're crazy for loving me."

Jessica blushes and turns her head.

Danny pops in a CD and plays some music.

"Listen to the lyrics, baby. 'Take it Easy'." He says as the song begins to play.

Jessica wakes up from her vivid dream. But not only did she have a dream, but a memory of her and Danny to go with it. Before Jessica would be in tears waking up from a dream like that, but not this time. She was happy. It was refreshing having a dream and a memory at once like she did. She couldn't help but smile as she reminisced. It was almost like the dream was Danny talking to her then reminding them of the good times. She thought maybe it was him showing her how he'd want things to be if he was there and letting Jessica know how much he loves the both of them.

A few days later-

Jessica stopped by Zoe's for a bit. She couldn't get that spring break trip with Danny off her mind. She remembers taking lots of pictures with her camera but couldn't seem to find any of them. She thought maybe Zoe would have time.

"Jessica, what are you doing up and about? You should be resting!" Zoe says giving her a hug and kiss.

Jessica comes inside and sits down. "I know, that's what everyone is telling me. But when I get these little ounces of energy I just want to move!" Jessica chuckles

"Haha, I understand. So what brings you here?" She asks

"I've been looking for some pictures. I can't seem to find any at the house or with my things from New York. I was wondering if maybe you had any of Danny's old photo albums here?"

"What pictures are you looking for? I have tons in the kids old rooms."

"I'm looking for pictures from spring break, back in 2007."

Zoe stops and thinks for a second. "Oh honey, that was the spring break Danny had the flu. Are you thinking of summer or senior year?"

Jessica chuckles. She was shocked that Danny never told her parents about the lie. Jessica had told her parents months after. Danny never got around to it.

"What?" Zoe laughs

"Well, I thought Danny told you... we both played hookie so we could spend spring break together. We kind of went on a road trip." Jessica smiles

"I never knew! Where too?"

"Everywhere. We didn't have a specific destination. We stayed near Minnesota but far enough to see new places."

"Wow... that's incredible. Let's go upstairs and see if we can find something."

Zoe helps Jessica up and they go into Danny's old room. It was empty with only a few boxes.

They spend a while searching for albums until Jessica comes across one she recognizes. She had found it.

"Here it is."

Zoe walks over to her and looks over her shoulder as she flips through the album. Seeing all these made the memory even more vivid. She had forgotten about most of the images until now.

Jessica and Zoe sat down and Zoe listened as Jessica told her about the trip.

"Danny, he was so adventurous. If he was here I'd smack him upside the head for lying though!" Zoe chuckles

"It was worth it. We had the time of our lives. If you don't mind, could I maybe take these?"

"Of course. They're yours! You know, that would make another beautiful book." She hints

Jessica giggles "It would... gosh, I miss these days."
