Aching
After two nights in the hospital Jessica was released to go home.
"Danny, I don't want to leave her. How am I gonna go home without my baby?"
"I know it's hard, baby. I'm not looking forward to it either, but they still have to keep an eye on her. Soon we'll bring her home. Just think about the positives. We get to see the twins and show them pictures of their baby sister!"
"Yeah." Jessica sniffles. "I miss them so much. I just wish we could have all three together."
"Me too.. Man! All three! Jessica, we have three girls!"
"That's so crazy." Jessica laughs.
"Three kids before twenty years old. You think we're done?"
"Who knows."
"We're done for at least ten years, right baby?"
Jessica chuckles and lays her head on his chest.
"For sure. I've gotta get a better birth control."
"We need the best money can buy!"
"Yep.." Jessica takes a deep breath. "Let's go see baby girl before heading home to our big girls."

Jessica cried seeing her baby girl. The thought of leaving Jovi alone broke her heart.
"Mrs. Huston?" The nurse walks over.
Jessica sniffles. "Oh sorry. Hello.."
"Would you like to hold your baby?"
"I can hold her?" Jessica's eyes slightly widen.
"Yes ma'am. She'll still have all this attached to her."
"Will I hurt her."
"No ma'am, she's just fine." The nurse smiles as she picks up the baby.
"Have a seat. I'll hand her to you."
Jessica sits down and smiles nervously up to Danny. "I get to hold her!" She whispers.
"I'm so happy for you, baby. I have the camera ready!"
Jessica's smile grows as the nurse turns to her holding the baby.
Jessica quickly takes her sweater off. She was now chilly in her cami, but wanted the baby to lay against her skin.
The moment Jovi was placed on Jessica she began crying. "Oh my gosh. Hi baby girl..
I finally get to hold you, precious!" She chuckles softly through her tears.
"Jovi Lynn.. I'm mama! I know I haven't been able to hold you but, baby girl I've been aching too. I love you. I love you more than you'll ever know, Princess. I need you to get big and strong so you can come home with mommy, daddy and Elaina and Emilia. Laina and Emi are your big sisters. Elaina is the oldest, then it's Emilia. Then You!" Jessica smiles.
Jovi opens her eyes and stares up to Jessica.
"Oh! She's looking at me." Jessica's smile grows.
"She's so beautiful."
"Isn't she? Oh, do you wanna hold her, Danny?"
"I'll wait. She needs her mommy most.
Plus, look at her. She's falling in love." Danny smiles.
Jessica smiles and looks down to her daughter. Jovi was mesmerized.

"Girls, look who's here!" Albert says.
"Mama! Mama!" The twins run to Jessica.
Jessica cries and kneels down on the ground.
"My girls! Oh my goodness you look so big!
I missed you both so much."
"Mishu Mama!" Elaina pats Jessica's back.
"Baby Mama?" Emilia asks touching her mother's belly.
"No baby isn't in my tummy anymore.
She came out already!" Jessica smiles.
"How come out?" She lifts her hands.
Jessica chuckles. "Mommy pushed her out."
"Woah! Good!" Emilia laughs and claps her hands.
"Thank you, baby. You're so supportive!"
"See baby?" Elaina asks.
"Sissy is still at the hospital.."
"Why?"
"Because she had surgery on her heart.." Jessica says in a shaky voice.
"She has to stay for a little while longer."
"Oh.."
"But we have pictures!" Danny smiles.
"Hey! DADA!" Elaina looks up to her father with a big smile.
"Oh Dada!" Emilia giggles.
"Did you two just notice me standing here?" He laughs.
Jessica chuckles and stands with the help of Danny.
Danny then picks the twins up and takes them to the couch. "We have lots of pictures of sissy. Do you wanna see them?"
"YAAAA!" The girls shout with excitement.
Jessica hugs her parents and siblings before making her way to the girls and Danny.
"Here she is!" Danny smiles.
"Nose?" Emilia pokes under her nose.
"Yeah, that helps her breathe. She's cute, isn't she?"
"Ya!" Emilia smiles.
"No." Elaina says.
"Laina!" Jessica chuckles. "She's very cute!"
"No mama." She nods.
"Hey you should see pictures of you when you were first born." Danny says. "Now That's ugly!"
"Daniel stop it!" Jessica laughs and playfully hits him.
"I'm just playing. All my girls are beautiful. You, Emi, Jovi, and Mommy!"
Jessica smiles.
Danny takes Jessica's hand and kisses it.
"Love you, baby." Jessica says softly.
"I love you more, beautiful."
The rest of the day all Emilia talked about was her baby sister. Elaina did speak of her, but she quickly got distracted by other things.
The later evening was the hardest.
Danny and Jessica tucked the girls in, and both went down without a fuss.
They then returned to their room where Jessica cried from the aching in her heart.
"I want my baby. My Jovi is there all alone, Danny. This isn't fair! She's used to having me with her. What if she's upset? What if something happens to her and I'm not there?"
"Honey, I know it's hard and seems impossible, but don't think about stuff like that. Jovi is in good hands, and she'll be okay!"
Jessica let's out a sob and sniffle.
"I can't help but worry about her. I'm terrified of hearing the phone ring and it be the hospital calling to tell us something happened to her."
Jessica was unconsolable. Danny wrapped his arms around her and held her to his chest. He gently rocked her like a newborn baby.
Jessica's cries were loud and hard.
Dorothy heard her and stood outside the door.
She didn't know if she should barge in on them.
"Kids?"
"Yes?" Danny answers.
Dorothy peeks in and sees Danny comforting Jessica. Jessica didn't even look at her mom. It were like she didn't even know she was there. She just clung onto Danny like she needed him to survive.
"She's okay. Everything's fine, she's just upset and missing her baby."
Dorothy looks to her daughter with a sad look on her face. "Poor baby. I'll give you two your privacy.... Thank you, Danny."
"No need to thank me, Ms. D."
Danny continued holding her until Jessica cried herself to sleep.
He then laid her down and tucked her in.
Danny placed a soft kiss on Jessica's forehead and laid beside her.
Danny was also worried about Jovi, but he had to be strong for Jessica. He knew one of them had to be strong in case something bad happened.
