Two months later.

"Oli, look at mommy and smile!"

"He's hating this picture thingy, mommy." Alessia says.

"He is!" Jessica laughs.

"You silly boy!  Mommy, just take my picture.  I'm good!" She poses for her mother.

"Ooh yes!  Beautiful girl!"

"Told ya!" Alessia giggles.

Jessica laughs and sits her camera down.

"Let's go downstairs with the rest of the bunch.  Daddy and I have something to talk to you guys about."

"If it's another baby, I'm out.  I am going to gwamma's!" Alessia lifts her hands.

"It's not another baby, you Drama Queen!" Jessica laughs.

"Now come on!"

**

"So what's the news, guys?" Alessica looks to her parents, kicking her chubby little legs under the table.

"News?" Addelyn asks.

"Ya and it's not no babies!" Alessia nods.

"Oh!" Addelyn giggles. "Well what is it?"

"Danny and I have been talking and.." Jessica looks over to Danny and smiles.

"We've set a date for the wedding!"

"YAY!  I GET PWETTY DWESSES!"

"Just one dress!" Jessica laughs.

"No, me's gettin' two!"

"When's the date?" Nathaniel asks.

"October fourth."

"That's just a few months away!  There's so much to do!"

Jessica giggles. "It's okay, Addy!  We've got it under control.  Plus, it's not going to be a a very big wedding.  Just family."

"What about my girlfriend?"

"Excuse me, Nathaniel?  Your what?" Jessica asks.

"He said his girflfriend." Danny says earning a mean look from his future wife.

"Yep!  That's what I said." Nathaniel smiles.

"You're just a baby, you can't have a girlfriend!"

Alessia points and laughs at her brother. "HA-HA!  LOSER!"

Nathaniel rolls his eyes.
"That's so unfair, mom!"

"Life's not fair, little boy!" Jessica smiles sweetly.

September.

Danny and Jessica's bridal shower.

"You look great, Jessie!"

"Aw thanks, Ann!  I've been in the gym trying hard to shed these last few baby pounds.  It's tough!  Little Oli was a big boy!" Jessica chuckles and lightly bounces him on her hip.

"Aw!  Look at him!  He's like, Are you talkin' about me, Mama?"

Jessica chuckles and kisses his cheek.
"Yes I am talkin' about you, chubby butt!"

"Aww!  Oh gosh, he is so cute!  Can I hold him?"

"Take him!" Jessica hands the baby over to her sister.

"Yay!  Come here, Oli!  Oh you are so precious."

Oliver looks at Ann and Jessica can already see it in his eyes.

"Oh no.  He's gonna have a meltdown." She laughs. "Bye Oli!" Jessica waves and walks away.

"WAAAHH!"

"Aw he wants him mama!" Ann pouts. "Poor little guy!  You can go back if you want.  I'm sorry I made you cry!"

Jessica takes him back and kisses his forehead.  Oliver pouts, then looks up to his mother and smiles.

"I'm back!  The world isn't over!" Jessica laughs.

Oliver smiles and coo's loudly.

"Oh yes, tell me just how mean and smelly auntie Ann is!" She baby talks.

Later on Danny held Oliver as he fell asleep.

"Is he out, baby?" Jessica asks.

"Yeah, he went right to sleep."

"Poor buddy was tired!"

"Yeah.." Danny softly kisses his forehead, then looks up to Jessica and smiles.

"You are looking absolutely stunning, ma'am."

"Well thanks, sir!" Jessica smiles. "I washed the baby vomit smell off for occasion."

Danny laughs and kisses her cheek.

"You missed buddy,"

"What?"

"You better give me a real kiss!"

"Sorry." Danny chuckles, then kisses her lips.
