Spring break.
20 weeks pregnant.

Jessica was so happy because she was going to have all three kids for the week while Sarah is spending the week with her parents in Florida.  She's hoping some time alone will do her some good.

Jessica's belly is now growing rapidly, and her baby girl is becoming more and more active.
Danny is loving every minute of this pregnancy.  He has also gotten very close to the kids.  They love having him over and watching cartoons, or talking about the baby with him.

"We're dressed, mommy!" Addelyn says as she runs in.

"Awesome, baby!  Let me just finish making these sandwiches and I'll be ready."

"Okay!  Can I ask Danny if he wants to come with us?"

"Baby, I'm sure he's busy."

"Can I just ask?"

"Sure.  Have Nathaniel go with you."

"Okay!  NATHAN!" Addelyn shouts.

Jessica chuckles and continues what she is doing.

Today she is taking them to a nearby water park, then they are having a little picnic.

"We'll be back, mommy!" Addelyn says as she and Nathaniel walk out the door.

They ran to Danny's and knocked on his door.

"Danny, open up its us!"

"Hey!  You two goin swimming?"

"Mhm!  Mommy's taking us to the water park!"

"Ooh!  That's fun!"

"Yep!  Wanna go with us?"

"Did mommy say it was okay?"

"Yes!"

"Please Danny!  You're fun!" Nathaniel says with a smile.

"I'm fun?  Well thanks!" He smiles.

"Yeah!  Will you go with us?"

"Sure I'll go."

"Yay!  We'll go tell mommy!"

The kids then run back to the apartment with excitement.

"He said yes!  He's coming!"

"He is?" Jessica laughs.

"Yeah!  Oh no!  I hope he has a swimsuit!" Addelyn's eyes widen.

"I'm sure he does, baby." Jessica giggles.

Just then her phone rings.

"Hello?"

"Hey! The kids just asked me if I wanted to go with you guys to the water park. Is that okay? Or did they just sneak out and ask me, and I'm gonna show up in my cute little swimsuit like an idiot?"

Jessica laughs. "Your cute little swimsuit?"

"Yeah, wait til you see me."

"Oh geez. They asked me if you could tag along and I said that was fine."

"Fine?"

"Daniel!"

"I'm just messin with you! Let me get ready, I'll see you in a bit."

"Okay." Jessica giggles and hangs up.

The baby then starts kicking repeatedly.

"Are you excited to see your daddy?" She giggles and rubs the bottom of her belly.

**

"I'm here by popular demand!" Danny says letting himself in.

"He's here, mommy! Can we go now?"

"Yes, let me just use the restroom quickly!"

"Mommy ALWAYS has to use the bathroom!" Nathaniel rolls his eyes.

"That's cause your sister is just in there kicking your Mommy's bladder like it's a soccer ball!"

"That's funny!" He laughs.

"I don't think mommy thinks it is!" Addelyn giggles.

"Yeah, probably not." Danny says turning to Dylan who was on the ground surrounded by his toys.

"Hi buddy!" He smiles.

Dylan smiles and hits his hands on his thighs.
He then gets on all fours and crawls to Danny.

"Look at you, little man!"

"He crawls now, Danny!" Nathaniel says so proud of his brother.

"That's so awesome!  Good job, Dylan!" Danny lifts him up and kisses his cheek."

"Danny?" Nathaniel says checking to see if his mother is coming.

"Yeah bud?"

"Are you my mom's boyfriend?"

"What?  No!" He chuckles.

"We thought you might be.  We thought that was why our momma doesn't love her anymore." Addelyn says.

"Kids, your mother and I are not together, and I know your momma will Always love mommy.  Grown ups just go through difficult stuff sometimes.  It doesn't mean they don't love each other."

"Well we know mommy loves momma, but momma.." Addelyn sighs.

"What?"

"She said mommy did a very bad thing and that we can never be a family again." She says with tears in her eyes.

"Addelyn, come here!" Danny holds his arm out.

Addelyn walks over and sits beside him, then lays her head on his side.

"Everyone in this world.. Everyone.  Has done something wrong at some point.  Including your friends, teachers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, me and you."

"Even Dylan?" She asks in a low voice.

"Well yeah!  Remember when Dylan pooped his pants and it got all over the place?  He just laughed as everyone else gagged!"

Addelyn giggles.

"It doesn't make him a bad person, does it?"

"No."

"Just like you're not a bad person, Nathan isn't a bad person, I'm not and especially not your mother.. I personally think she's the most amazing person in this world."

"You do?"

"Of course I do!"

"Thank you.. we think so too.."

Jessica was walking back from the bathroom and just happened to overhear the end of their conversation.
She had tears in her eyes as he spoke to her daughter.
This man was so sweet to her, and he loves her and her children.  She felt bad that she didn't love him back.

**

"Dylan my man!  Lookin good in your trunks!" Danny chuckles.

"His little belly hanging over is cute, isn't it?" Jessica laughs.

"It is!  Live it up now, little buddy.  When you get older, it's not so cute." He chuckles.

"Right?" Jessica chuckles and takes her cover up off.

She then looks down and says, "Not so cute."

Danny looked at Jessica and smiled.  He was in awe of her beauty.  She was glowing, and her round belly only made her even more gorgeous.

"No.. No, you're-you look beautiful." He smiles.

Jessica laughs and throws her cover up at him.

Danny laughs, but the look he had in his eyes; he was in love.

**

"Do you like the water, baby?" Jessica asks as Dylan splashes his hands in the water.

"He's havin a ball!"

"I know." Jessica giggles.

Dylan starts kicking his legs and giggling as he slaps his hands in the water.

"Are you trying to swim to Danny?"

"Look at him! Come on, swim over here, bud!" Danny holds his arms out and takes him from Jessica.

"Yay! You did it!" Danny lifts him in the air making him laugh.

**

"Danny, come ride these slides with us!" Nathaniel shouts.

"I don't know, I'm kinda scared you guys!" He jokes.

"Danny!" They laugh.

"I'm kidding! Come on! First one there wins!"

The twins laugh and chase after Danny.

"You three be careful!" Jessica shouts then checks on the baby who was napping in the stroller. She then lays back on her chair and lifts her legs.

She places her hand on her belly and softly strokes it back and forth.

"Your daddy is a great man, little one.. if things were different.. we would be the perfect little family...
But I have Sarah.. even though our marriage is a huge mess.. I still love her.
*Sighs* Your daddy loves me, I know that.. but I don't know if I love him.
..I don't want to hurt him, baby girl. What if things work out and Sarah wants me back? What if I lead him on?
I just don't want anymore fighting... I don't want anymore tears.. all I want is love and happiness.. but with who? First there was Sam. I thought I loved him.. then there was Sarah who completely changed my entire life. Maybe I'm meant to just be alone.  Maybe marriage isn't for me.
..I didn't think Sarah and I would ever be this way.. but because of me.." Jessica sighs and wipes the single tear that rolled down her cheek.

"This is all so weird and messed up. I'm not happy with what I did. I hate myself for it.. but if it didn't happen, I wouldn't have you. And I love you. I don't want you to think I don't, because I do! I love your father for giving you to me, but.. the way that it happened was so wrong! I ruined something so special. Even though something very special came out of it." She says circling her hand on her round belly.

"Look at me rambling to myself like a freaking psycho! You've officially lost it, Jessica!"

The baby kicks and Jessica laughs. "You agree, don't you?"

**

After leaving the water park the kids wanted pizza. They had it delivered and they all ate in the living room while watching a movie.

"Hey guys! The baby still doesn't have a name! Why don't we pick one now?" Addelyn asks.

"Do you have any in mind, baby?" Jessica asks.

"Not really!"

Jessica chuckles then asks, "What about you, Danny?"

"Well I was searching the other day, and I kinda liked Clementine. Clem for short."

"That's cute." Jessica smiles.

"Thanks. Have you thought of any?"

"Well I thought Evelyn was pretty. Or Hazel.. it's different."

"I like it!"

"Well we have to pick one soon! She's coming in August and that's gonna be here like that!" Addelyn snaps her fingers.

"Twenty more weeks!" Danny smiles.

"Yep.. I don't even have anything for her.  Poor baby." Jessica says as her eyes travel down to the ground.

"I've already ordered plenty of clothes, so don't worry about that." Danny says.

"You have?"

"Yes! She needs them, Jess." He says in a serious tone.

"She needs them?"

"Yes!"

Jessica laughs at how spoiled their little girl is already.

"Danny, I need clothes too!"

"Addy!"

"What, mom?" Addelyn shrugs.

"It's okay! I'll buy her some too if she wants."

"She's fine!" Jessica laughs.

***
I really want Jessica to go back to Minnesota, but I'm still trying to figure out how things are going to work out. Do you think she should go back before the baby's born?
Also, I need name suggestions! I want something classic but nothing that sounds too much like an old woman lol!
