First date

"Danny? Who's here?  Oh Jessica!"

"Hi Anjelica." Jessica smiles.

"Is everything okay?"

"Everything's fine!  I just came to tell Danny something I should have told him a long time ago."

"Oh.." Anjelica smirks.  She had an idea of what Jessica was talking about, but didn't know for sure.

Danny smiled and wrapped his arm around her.  Anjelica's smile grew. "Are you two?"

"Yeah!" Jessica nods.

"Ahh!  Oh Jessica, you have no idea how happy that makes me!  My little brother was just so depressed when he wasn't around you.  He loves you so so much."

Jessica smiles up to Danny and says, "I've been the same way."

Danny smiles and kisses her cute little button nose.

***

After Thanksgiving Jessica knew it was time to speak to the kids, she wanted Sarah there with her but she was still with her family.

Today during breakfast she knew she had to tell them.
Danny was on his way over to help her pack up, so she wanted to get it done now.

"Kids.. I have to talk to you."

"Is everything okay?" Nathaniel asks.

"Well.. Yes!  Everything's fine, but.. there's something you guys might take a little hard."

"What is it?" Addelyn asks.

"Momma and I.. we're getting a divorce."

"Oh.." Nathaniel looks down.

"You two aren't gonna be married anymore?" Addelyn asks.

"No."

"Oh.  Well that's okay."

"You're fine with it?"

"Yeah.  You two fight too much.  We love you both, but we love you even more when you're not together."

"Really?"

"Yeah!  It's kind of a relief." Nathaniel says.

"We wanted you and momma to get back together.. but it was never the same way.. it's never gone back to the way it was before Dylan was born."

"Yeah.. well some people just grow apart, that's all..
and it doesn't mean you can't see momma.  She'll still just be a few minutes away."

"That sounds good." Addelyn smiles.

Jessica then walks over to them and gives them each a hug. "I love you two so much."

"We love you too, momma."

Suddenly the doorbell rings.

"Who's that?" Nathaniel asks.

"Oh it's Danny!  Let me go-"

"Danny's here!" The twins run to let him in.

Jessica laughs and follows behind.

"Hey kids!" Danny smiles.

"What are you doing here, Danny?" Addelyn smiles up to him.

Jessica quickly interrupts. "I haven't gotten to that part yet. Kids, come sit." Jessica says motioning them to sit in the living room.

"So since this is momma's home, and we sold our other home, we're gonna move in with grandma and grandpa until we find a place."

"That sounds like fun!" Addelyn smiles.

"No it doesn't! I'm sorry, I love grandma and grandpa but I want my room! We move so much!" Nathaniel whines.

"Honey, you'll still have your room when you visit momma, but we have to move before she and Dylan come back."

"I just hate moving.."

"I know baby, and I'm sorry. I promise after we find a new place we'll stay put!"

"Okay.."

"Thank you.. now go upstairs and start packing some clothes, please."

"Yes ma'am."

Danny makes sure the kids are upstairs before he walks over to greet Jessica properly.

He wraps his arms around her and kisses her lips.

"Mmm.. There, I'm all better now." Danny smiles cutely.

Jessica smiles then looks past him. "How's my princess?" She walks over to the carrier.

"She's sleeping now. She's been a little cranky this morning."

"Aw poor baby." Jessica pouts.

"She'll be okay once she sees mommy." Danny smiles. "I know I am."

Jessica chuckles and rolls her eyes. "Aren't you cute."

"A little."

"You dork!" She laughs.

"Alright, well go ahead and start helping me. I stayed up all night last night packing. I just need you to help me with a couple big things that are mine."

"No problem.. but I have one question."

"What is your question?" Jessica asks as Danny walks closer. He wraps his arm around her lower back, while clasping her hand.

"I'm gonna help you move out.. will you in return, go out with me tomorrow night, on our first official date?"

"Of course! Just answer me this."

"Sure."

"How was that date you were telling me you had?" She smirks.

"Can I be honest?"

"You love her, don't you?" Jessica pushes him off of her.

"No! I made it up!"

"You made it up?" Jessica laughs.

"Yeah! I wanted you to think I was okay and not at all depressed."

"Aw!" Jessica grabs his cheeks as she pouts. She then softly kisses his lips.

"Well you have a girl now, baby. And I'm not goin anywhere." Jessica nods.

Danny pulls her close and kisses her forehead. "You were definitely worth the wait, little missy."

***

By the end of the day Jessica and the twins were at Albert's and Dorothy's. The next night was Danny and Jessica's first official date.
Jessica's parents agreed to watch all three kids so the two could go out.

At this point the twins still didn't have a clue their mother was dating Danny.  Jessica didn't want to throw too much at them all at once.

"You two be good while I'm at dinner with Danny."

"We will, mommy... um.. is this a date?" Addelyn smiles.

"What? No!" Jessica laughs nervously.

"No, of course not! We're just going out to dinner.. as Alessia's parents."

"Okay.." Addelyn gives her mother a strange look.

Just then the doorbell rings.

"He's here!" Jessica jumps up with excitement.

"It's a date." Nathaniel tells Addelyn.

"Mommy just said no."

"Trust me. It's a date." He nods.

Addelyn shrugs and follows her mother.

"Hi my princess! It's mommy!" Jessica kisses her chubby cheeks.

"Are you gonna be a good girl while mommy and daddy have some din din?"

Alessia smiles and kicks her little legs.

"Muah! I'll see you soon, Lessie!" Jessica gives her cuddles then hands her to her mother.

"Ready, Jessie?"

"I'm ready." Jessica giggles.

**

Danny took Jessica to a fancy Italian restaurant. The food was amazing and the setting was very romantic.

"This is nice.. I can actually say I'm on a real date with Jessica Lange!" Danny smiles.

"Yep! Pretty cool, huh?"

"Very!" He chuckles.

"There is one thing you have yet to ask me, so I'll take it into my own hands."

"What?"

"Will you be my boyfriend?" Jessica rolls her eyes cutely.

"I thought I already was!"

"Well you didn't ask!"

"Oh sorry! Yes Jessica Lange, I will be your boyfriend." He smiles.

"Yay!"

Danny chuckles, leaning in and kissing her softly.

**

After dinner the two stopped at a nearby coffee shop to talk.

"You're so cute with your hot chocolate."

Jessica giggles and wipes the whipped cream off her upper lip.

"I've really enjoyed tonight, Daniel."

"Me too.. it's weird that this is our first date.  I feel so comfortable.. I guess having a baby with someone really breaks the first date awkwardness."

"I guess so!" Jessica laughs.

Danny stared at Jessica with so much love. The way she smiled the way she laughed, he loved everything about her.

"Jessica Lange.. For many many years I wanted to make you mine.. I can't believe I'm actually on a date with you. I can't believe you're the mother of my daughter. I'm just so lucky."

Jessica giggles and slightly lifts her shoulders.

"Daniel Huston.. you're just charming the panties right off me, aren't you?"

"Jessica!" He laughs.

**

After a night they will remember forever, Danny drove Jessica back to her parents' house.

"Well this is my stop, mister." Jessica says as Danny stops in front of the house.

"It's been a lovely evening, ma'am."

"Yes it has. I look forward to many more lovely evenings."

"And even lovelier nights."

"Oh yessss!" Jessica giggles.

"It's been a while."

"Too long."

"The first time we make love as a couple will be special.. you just wait. It won't be tonight because it's only our first date, and you lady will have to wait." He smirks.

Jessica laughs then smiles softly. "Well I'm looking forward to it."

Danny then got out of the car and opened her door.
Jessica stepped out and looked around.

"It's starting to snow again."

"Yeah.." Danny turns to the car and gathers snow into a ball.

"What are you doing?" Jessica chuckles.

"Oh nothing.. just.. Ooh what's that?!" Danny points.

Jessica turns then laughs. "Why the hell did I look?"

"Snowball fight!" Danny shouts, throwing the snowball at her.

"Ah! Daniel!"

Soon Danny and Jessica were having a full on snowball fight.
They were having so much fun. Like two kids who didn't have a care in the word.

"Alright! Alright, you win!" Danny says throwing himself on the ground.

"Snow angels!" Jessica shouts, running and laying beside him.

Danny laughs and turns his head.

"Jessica?"

"Yeah?" She turns and smiles.

"I love you."

"I love you too!"

Jessica climbs on top of him and kisses his lips.
She then lays her head on his chest and they stay there for a few minutes in complete silence.

"You better get in before you get sick." Danny pats her back.

"I don't wanna.. I want to stay with you." Jessica speaks in a low voice.

"I know, I wanna stay with you too.. infact.. I don't want to spend anymore time apart. Jessica, why don't you guys just move in with me? My place is big enough for everyone to have their own room. Even Dylan!"

"Aw.. Danny, I don't now. I'm afraid of this all being too much for the kids."

"I understand.. but one day?"

"Of course!" Jessica smiles and pecks his lips.

"Now I better get in before my breast milk turns into ice cream!"

Danny laughs.
He then walks her to the front porch.

"This evening has been fun, Daniel, but I have a confession to make."

"What?"

"I have four kids."

"You do? Hm.. well it's okay!" He shrugs. "I'll still love you anyway." Danny goes along with her joke.

Jessica laughs and moves closer to him.

"Think your dad is watching and he'll start flickering the light of I kiss ya?" Danny asks wrapping his arms around her lower back.

Jessica chuckles, placing her hands on the back of his neck. "Let's see!"

They then share a passionate kiss.  Breaking away Jessica smiles. "Goodnight, Daniel."

"Goodnight, Jessie."


Meanwhile upstairs.

"They're kissing!" Addelyn gasps.

"I told you it was a date."

"I guess you were right.."

"How do you feel about it."

"Nathan.. mommy hasn't been happy for a while.. neither has momma.. if this is what makes mommy happy then it makes me happy too." Addelyn smiles.

"Besides, I love Danny."

"Me too.. Hey do you think we'll move into his house? He has that huge pool!"

"Ooh I don't know! Hopefully we're there by the summer!"



Downstairs.

Jessica tip toed into the house. Dorothy was laying on the couch with Alessia sleeping in her arms.

"Ooh it feels good in here! Hey mom!" Jessica whispers.

"Hey baby girl."

"How were they?"

"Angels, of course! How was your date?"

"Oh mom it was amazing!" Jessica smiles, throwing herself on the couch and resting her head on Dorothy's shoulder, looking down to her baby girl.

"Seems like you had fun! I saw you two running around like little kids out in the snow. You're both crazy!"

"You saw us?" Jessica laughs.

"Yes! It was sweet."

"He's sweet. I really love him, ma."

"I love him too." Dorothy smiles.

Jessica looks up and chuckles.

"I haven't been this happy in a while.. this was the right decision."

"I'm glad, honey. I'm happy for you."

Jessica kisses her mother's cheek then sighs. "I better get her into her crib."

"I'll do it, you go take a hot shower. You're covered in snow!"

"Thanks, momma."

"No problem, sweetie." Dorothy smiles.

She then takes the baby upstairs. Jessica grabs some of the baby's things from the living room. She then sees something out of the corner of her eye.
Jessica walks to the window and smiles at what she sees.
Danny was playing in the snow by himself. No he wasn't making snowmen or anything like that, but he was kicking the snow around and throwing snowballs into the field. He looked so cute and so happy.

Jessica giggles and starts recording him playing around.

"Oh Daniel Huston.. you make me so happy."
