I thank God
Sarah's POV.
"Alright, Alyssa, we need to plan a wild bachelorette party for Jessica."
"How wild can it be? We're seventeen and the bride is pregnant."
"I get your point, but my older sister said that she would buy drinks and get a stripper."
"Heh! Sarah! Are you crazy?"
"No drinks?"
"My mom will kill my ass!"
"Ugh! Well there has to be a striper. Jessica needs at least one wild night before she gets married."
Alyssa laughs and says, "Have you seen her, Sar? It looks like Jessica has had at least one wild night in her life!"
Sarah rolls her eyes and says, "You know what I mean!"
"Okay, then I guess lets do it!"
"YES!!" Sarah jumps up.

Jessica was sitting on the couch holding her stomach, when George walked by.
"Are you okay, Jess?"
"Yeah, I'm fine.. It just hurts."
"That's not good!"
"No, it's fine. Mom said it was normal."
"Oh.. uh, well.. is there something I could get you?"
"Can I have some water, please?"
"Sure."
He brings it back and sits beside her.
"Where's Danny?"
"He's in the shower."
"Oh.. Do you feel better?" He asks trying not to let her know exactly how worried he is.
"Yeah, it comes and goes... Thanks." She smiles.
"Sure. I mean, I was just wondering! I didn't want anything gross coming out of you and onto this couch! I mean, it's brand new!"
She chuckles and messes with his hair.
"You care, I know you do!"
"No I don't!"
"Hah! Well thank you, George." She smiles.
"Sure. Uh... So.. When they move.. What does that feel like?"
"Well at the beginning it kinda felt like popcorn popping in my stomach, but now that they're bigger, it's obvious that there are two almost full grown babies inside of me and hurts."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I still love feeling them move, but sometimes they like to stick their feet in my ribs, and that's Really painful!"
George's eyes widen and Jessica laughs.
"How?! Is that okay? like, is it supposed to happen?"
"Yeah, apparently it's normal." She chuckles.
"And like my bladder! It's worthless! They kick it, squeeze it, sit on it. I almost peed in Danny's car once! I had to get out and I ended up peeing on myself on the side of the road!"
"Oh gross, Jessica!" He laughs.
"I couldn't help it, you can only hold it for so long when you're pregnant, George."
"That's funny though."
"Yeah, Danny was laughing at me." She pouts.
George chuckles and asks, "So uh... Are they moving right now?"
"They're always moving!"
"... Can.. can I feel?"
"Sure." She smiles.
"Put your hand right there." She points.
His eyes widen and he looks at her.
She laughs and he says, "They feel like actual babies! Like big babies!"
"Yeah, they do. They're getting big. I am just praying they don't get too big! Or that neither one of them have Danny's head."
George laughs and says, "Yeah, I imagine that wouldn't feel too great."
"No!" She laughs.

Jessica's phone conversation with Sarah.
"Sarah, I'm really exhausted and haven't been feeing well today."
"Well it's not until tomorrow, Jess!"
"Yeah, but I already know I'll be tired and yucky feeling tomorrow. Why don't you come by the house?"
"No! Just for a couple hours, Jess? Come on, in ten days you'll be married, and we won't be able to do anything like this again."
"Well alright, just for a little while."
"Really?! Yay!"
"Yeah but can you come pick me up? My belly gets in the way when I drive."
"Sure." She laughs.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Alright, can't wait! Love you!"
"Love you too!"
She hangs up the phone and Danny asks, "What's going on?"
"Sarah wants me to go somewhere with her tomorrow night. I just don't feel like going anywhere if I don't absolutely have to. My tummy hurts." She pouts and lowers her head.
"Awe, poor baby. Come lay down."
She lays beside him and he rubs his hand in a big circle on her stomach.
"They're just getting so big, and my stomach is in pain twenty four seven! I still have a month to go, Danny, what am I gonna do?!" She says that last part in a whine.
"Aw babydoll, I'm so sorry. I hate that you're in pain all the time. Maybe they'll come a little early, since they're twins."
"I hope so. I don't know how much more I can take. I want them out!"
"I know." He says as he continues rubbing her stomach.
"Thank you for doing this, it makes it feel a little better." She smiles.
"Well good!" He kisses the centre of it.
Jessica closed her eyes and relaxed her head on the pillow, when she suddenly heard Danny sing in a low and deep voice.
"Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?"
Jessica opened her eyes and smiled at him as the memory of the night they were in Danny's car at the cabin, came to her mind. It was the night they first said they loved each other. Jessica asked him to dance with her and Danny turned the music up to whatever was playing on the radio. The song was pure coincidence, but ever since then it has become their song.
"Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand,
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you."
Suddenly the babies went from kicking Jessica hard, rolling around and stretching out, to making calm and subtle movements.
She smiled lovingly into his eyes with tears and he laid his head on her stomach as he looked up at her.
"I never thought I could love someone as much as I love you."
"I feel the same way. When I look in your beautiful eyes, I thank God that he chose me for you. I love you more than anything in this world, Jessica."
"I love you too, Danny." She cups the side of his face and brushes her thumb up and down on his cheek.
